Saturday Story: Austen-ized. The theme was to put ourself in the body of someone from the show, similar to some Austen story or something. Odd, I know, but it was the theme so I had no choice. LOL

How did I get here?

Blinking, I found myself looking into deep brown eyes belonging to the most gorgeous man on the face of the earth. I was kneeling in front of where he sat on a bench, and I didn't even realize that his clothes were very old-fashioned and he had some kind of antique rifle across his lap. All I knew was that he was staring at me and I was staring at him, with my hand on his arm…his warm, strong arm…

His expression turned puzzled, and then a voice shattered the moment.

"CUT! Alex, what happened?"

I jumped and turned around, to see people standing around looking at me…with movie cameras.

I'm in a movie?

"Did you forget what you were supposed to do? What'd you get 'lost in his eyes' or something?" the director said, making everyone laugh.

I blushed and looked away…right into those beautiful brown eyes again. "I know this is the first take of this scene, but I won't bite," the gorgeous actor told me with a teasing grin.

I smiled back.

"Now," he patiently said. "Just remember the rehearsals: kiss me, take the gun off my lap, pull me upright, and kiss me again."

I caught my breath. He said it so casually!

Behind me, someone said something that I barely heard, followed by the snapping sound of a clapboard. The gorgeous actor transformed in front of me as he fell back into his role.

As for me, it wasn't hard at all to do as he asked. His kiss was amazing…gentle but passionate at the same time. Once we were upright, I was taken by surprise when he started to walk me backwards. I don't know how I managed to keep up with him without tripping, and suddenly, we were lying on a bed, still kissing!

"CUT!"

The gorgeous man instantly stopped and rolled away to sit up while I blinked dazedly, staring at the ceiling. I still didn't know where I was, or why they thought me to be this 'Alex' person, but I knew right now that I never, ever wanted to leave.

"All right," the director yelled. "Let's do another take!"

Oh yes, this is where I belonged...forever.

THE END
