Emilie watched him walk away from her as she opened the door to her room. Dumping her back in the hall she walked into her room and collapsed on the bed in a daze. 'Ige siljelo na hante il-eonaneungeoya? {Is this actually happening to me?}' She asked herself as she stared at the ceiling. There was only one person she needed to phone in times like this.
Viv.
She jumped off the bed and made to the hall, picking her bag up off the floor and rooting about for her phone. After finding it, she made her way back to the bed, stopping at the fridge for a water as she listened to the ringing on the other end of the phone.
"Well, hello Miss Marvel! Viv exclaimed as she finally picked up.
Emilie laughed. "Hey Viv, how are you?" She asked, wondering how long she would be able to keep calm.
"Good hun, but I'm not the one working on a movie set." She laughed "How is it?"
"Oh, Viv. it's amazing! I'm having a great time and it's only day one. When are you coming down?" She asked, wanting to know before she told Viv her news.
"I was thinking next week hun. Maybe Friday or Saturday? That good for you?"
"Aw, that's perfect Viv, that's my days off next week!"
"That, my dear, is fate." Viv giggled.
"So, how's Edinburgh?" Emilie asked, try to act nonchalant.
"Oh, Em stop it. Edinburgh's the same. Tell me things. How's the life as a makeup artist?"
"Viv, it's just. I. it's, it's amazing. I'm having so much fun. The people I work with are brilliant." Emilie gushed.
"Aw, Em. I'm so happy for you. Couldn't be more proud." Viv was genuinely pleased for her best friend. "So, has Mr. Hiddleston fell for you yet?" She questioned jokingly. Emilie could tell, Viv was wiggling her eyebrows as she asked.
"Um. Well, about that Viv…" before Emilie could finish, Viv squealed. "OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED?!"
Emilie pulled the phone back from her ear to dull the pain from Viv's squeals.
"Well I met him this morning, in a professional capacity may I add. Karen was working on him in the trailer and wanted me to go watch her work, teach me a few things.
She introduced me to him and he… he…h-he." Emilie stuttered before saying the last part quickly. "Herecognizedmeasthepersonwhobumpedintohim." She blushed just remembering it.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"Viv?" Emilie asked, pulling her phone back from her ear to make sure she was still connected.
"Viv?"
There was silence for a second then a high-pitched, ear-splitting screamed.
"HE recognized you. He recognized you. Tom Hiddleston. My best friend. Ah, Em! This is. This is. GAH!"
Emilie laughed at her best friend's reaction and shook her head. "Well, if you're being like that then I'm not sure it's safe to tell you the next part." Emilie bit her lip in apprehension, not sure if her friend would combust or not when she told her.
"I'm. I'm ok, I'm calm. I'm calm. Do tell." Viv breathed as she waited for Emilie to tell her.
"Well, we shared a car back to the hotel and got talking and he's taking me out to dinner tonight." She was waiting on a scream, or silence, one of the two. Instead, she heard a thump.
"Sorry, Em, I literally just fell of the chair." Viv said, more calm than Emilie was expecting.
"Viv, you!" Emilie laughed, proud that her friend had stopped fangirling for a few seconds.
Emilie and Viv talked for a while, discussing everything: Tom, work, Viv's trip to London.
"Damn it, Viv. It's 7:45. I need to go get ready." Emilie gasped, not realizing the time.
"Yes, of course hun. Go make yourself all puuuuurrrrrttttyyyy for Tommy boy." She teased.
"Oh behave, Viv." Emilie scolded.
"Seriously Em, have fun. You deserve it hun. And phone me when you get back, I'll wait up."
"Will do, Mother." Emilie teased her friend before hanging up.
'Oleunjjog syawo {Right shower}.' She thought, 'dodaeche naega mwol ib-eulgeoya?! {and what the hell am I going to wear?!}'
