After I was changed into my costume, Luna quickly did my hair and make-up in five minutes and I went outside…literally to the set. We were in a secluded place with cliff and hills around. I sat down on a rock trying waiting impatiently for Athrun to appear. Sarah came up though instead and hugged me.
"Oh congratulations," she said happily, "You and Athrun finally got together, I knew that plan would work."
I laughed and knew we'd get along just fine. She was really a brilliant actress.
We talked until Athrun's grand appearance was summoned and he came out, tights and all looking quite lovely. I boldly took in his form practicing swiftly with his sword.
He was talking to the Dearka and Kira as he told them what he was supposed to do perfectly and Kira said, "You make my job way too easy Athrun."
"I try," Athrun said looking around the room until he spotted me standing near back of the huge table and waved at me. I waved back as he was quickly dismissed, came up and said, "So what do you think of this ensemble of clothes?"
I gave him and thumbs up and said, "I know the fans will love it."
He grinned and said, "You look pretty cute too, the hat earns applaud."
I tipped it forward and Sarah said, "I'm surprised you both haven't mauled each other on the spot yet."
I'm sure I turned red, but what surprised me was that Athrun went a bit pink as well.
"You're too much of a gentleman," Sarah tutted, "Show her your love."
"He shows it quite enough," I said shaking my head and hands.
Athrun looked a bit offended, then smirked and said, "I think Sarah's right."
He swept me in his arms, and my mind turned to mush as Athrun publicly kissed me, tongue and all. He broke away and said, "I love you."
"Hmm," I sighed and leaned on him silently with my eyes still closed until…
"BREAK IT UP!" Dearka sounded on the megaphone, "Athrun man, get to your place, you're making me miserable."
Athrun laughed gave me a last kiss and said, "I'll see you after the shot then darling."
I smiled and said, "If you insist."
Since I was already in my place he left and Sarah gave me a wink before getting into professional mode. She was a good actor. Even though the shot wasn't perfect the first time around, there were no major problems. When the final cut was shouted, we all started to pack up. I went to change. After the pack up, there was a meeting for all the actors and department heads. Murrue just dragged me along into the room where people where passing around food.
"So London guys," Kira started off, "The set's ready there, I'm flying there tonight, you guys need to tell me when in the next two days will you get there. Your hotel rooms are booked."
"How long are you guys going to be in London for?" I asked.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Kira asked looking at Lacus.
"I kind of forgot to mention it to her," Lacus said sheepishly, "How'd you like to tour London a bit Cagalli?"
Athrun was looking hopeful and I said, "I'd love to Lacus…but I kind of had this charity function to prep for."
"I thought it wasn't till next month," she said.
"Well I also have work," I said, "I've already missed way too much."
"You're already guaranteed a job with me," Murrue said, "Which you can start whenever you want."
I was flabbergasted and said, "When did that happen?"
"When I saw you audition 2 months ago," she said.
"Wow," I said with a smile, "Never thought I'd work in Hollywood."
"I have connections with Broadway," Murrue said, "I work mainly there."
I was gaping now and Luna said, "So are you coming?"
I smiled and said, "Well I do have my little angels to teach on Saturdays."
"I'm sure Danny won't mind covering," he said, "And if you insist, aren't the kids supposed to have a scene in London?"
Kira looked through his laptop and nodded and said, "Yeah, we can get their scene done too. But are they ready."
"It's the same dance routine they showed me," Athrun said to me, "How would they like to go to London?"
My mouth went dry. Athrun was too much some times.
"They'd love it," I said honestly, "Oh wow, and I guess I can go."
I got a little cheer. After a few more detail and giving our information, we told Kira our timings and he said he'd get our tickets by tomorrow. Dismissed Athrun came beside me and said, "Out of curiosity Kira asked me if you want a) your own room, b) share with me or c) have a separate room within mine?"
"That is a good question," I said, "What would you like?"
"Well I know I'll have limited time with you there," he said hesitantly.
"I guess I can share with you," I said, "You're the one who insist on not sleeping on the same bed as me."
"That's because I don't want to move to fast with you," he said holding both my hands, "I don't want to risk losing you even slightly. It's not every day I find a woman I really love."
I squeezed his hands back and said, "You won't lose me if you keep telling me that."
He let out a breath and said, "So I presume we're sharing a room?"
I kissed his lips and nodded.
"Well then, how about we go for a nice walk downtown," he said, "or by a park."
"A park would be nice," I said.
"You know after this movie," Athrun said, "We should all get together and hang out at the beach for a few days. God knows we need it."
"Well I get to see you prance around topless," I said as we walked towards his car.
"What even better is I would get to see you in a bikini," he said kissing the back of my ear making me shiver. The reaction made him chuckle a little and he wrapped and arm around my shoulder.
"So that is your true intention," I said, "I knew it."
Athrun gave me a mock innocent look and opened the door to his car for me. I sat down and he drove us to the closet park. It had a water fountain and trees manifested into a miniature forest. There was a little playground and a few kids were there with their parents, some playing soccer, others basketball and others their skateboard and bikes. The rest of them playing in the sand or chasing each other around.
"So what time are you leaving tomorrow?" I asked as we were sitting under a tree and I was on Athrun's lap.
"Evening," he mumbled softly, "Kira said he already told Danny about the trip and they are ready to leave the day after."
"Who is he going with?" I asked.
Athrun nodded and said, "With Ian…you think they can watch 20 children?"
"I'm sure they'll manage," I said, "So I get to go with you?"
Athrun nodded as we watched the sun set and we talked. There was a point where I had teased Athrun about his tastes with strawberries and a chase ensued between us around the tree for a few moments and then I fled between the soccer game, as the ball was about to hit me, Athrun kicked it between two goals. While he was surrounded by the children who recognized him as an actor, I ran a bit farther laughing. I was sitting on the other side of the fountain with my shoes off against the stone wall and my feet dipped in the water a bit.
"I should push you in," Athrun muttered sitting beside me a bit frustrated.
"You wouldn't dare anyways," I said smugly.
I was in the water next and sat up a bit terrified and glared at him accusingly. I stood up shaking and Athrun looked guilty and said, "I'm so sorry. I meant that as a joke."
His hands reached out and I was a bit humiliated and ignored it took my slippers; put them on a stormed away. Obviously Athrun was beside me apologizing. We sat on a bench and I said after a while, "I can't swim, and I'm kind of afraid of falling into water."
"I really didn't know," he said grabbing my hand.
"Well at least it wasn't deep," I said with a shrug.
"No," he said, putting his sweater on me and pulling me in his arms, "That was a stupid thing of me to do. At least I know now, what if we were near the ocean of something, or even a pool."
I smiled and said, "I almost drowned a few times with accidents like that, that's why I freaked out a bit back there."
"Well I won't let that happen ever again," he said.
"It's okay if it's shallow," I said, "You just surprised me."
"Well," he said, "If you're up for it we can get some ice cream."
"I'm kind of soaked," I said.
"Do you want me to take a dip?" he asked
"No," I said, "You're sweater's good enough."
After getting our ice cream Athrun dropped me home and couldn't stay because he had some work to get done. I went inside and firstly took a shower. After I deducted I was clean, I started the laundry and picked up my phone and called Lacus.
"Hey," she said.
"What should I bring there?" I asked
"Umm bring a dress just in case," she said, "And the rest can be casual stuff. I've book two days for you touring around London with me and the rest of the girls."
"That sounds fun," I said, "So how long are we going to there for, I never did get the answer."
"A week at the most," she said, "Then the final shots are going to be filmed back home."
"How long has Kira been working on this film?" I asked
"Almost 6 months," she said, "I can't wait for the premiere."
"Kira will probably show it to you beforehand," I said
"No," she said, "He doesn't, no matter how much I convince him. He loves surprises."
"Aww," I said, "And I wanted to see it."
"Yeah," she said, "Only Kira, Athrun, Dearka and Yzak see it."
"Why them," I muttered.
"Because they all need to approve," she said.
"Okay," I said, "I better pack now or I won't finish by tomorrow."
"Yeah I'm going to leave soon now," she said, "I'll meet you in London then."
"Bye," I said hanging up.
I found a blue suitcase from the storage room and took it to my room and placed it on my bed. It had been a long time since I had even seen the suitcase. I opened it up and found some things I left in there. A photo album, a few files, letters. I took out a bag, stuffed them the contents in the suitcase in it, and threw in under bed where they could be forgotten…eventually.
I opened my closet and took out and array of jeans, shirt, shorts, and sweaters and placed them beside my suitcase. I put my jacket inside first and found a black cocktail dress and put that in as well covered by a bag. I picked out four jeans, two shorts, one skirt, many shirts, and sweaters and folded them placing them inside. There was a separate section in my suitcase where I put my undergarments and socks. I knew I was going to wear my running shoes, so I placed a pair of shoes to match the dress, flip flops, flats, casual shoes and two others, putting them in a separate bag each, inside the suitcase. I next went to find my sleeping gear. I found 4 pajama pants and their matching tank top I put them in; I found my comfy oversized shirt and put that in. I place a sweat pant, and shorts it as well. Thinking about what I was forgetting, I place an extra toothbrush and toothpaste in, some personal hygienic products, my shower gear. I found an extra hairbrush and put that in with some hair bands.
"What else does one take to London?" I wondered packing my purse. So far I had gotten my Ipod, wallet, passport, a book, lotion, and other crap that was in my purse for who knows what reason. I stopped looking at my clock with read 12:47 am and sighed. It was time to sleep. I took my oversized shirt from my suitcase out and wore it, snuggling into bed and falling asleep in a matter of minutes.
Murrue called me bright and early and she discussed a few job offers to me. I was gushing in excitement and she said that I would get paid for the movie I worked on and that after the London trip she could get me started on a few projects.
"But by then," she said, "You need to get off that waitress job."
"I'd give up that job any day," I said, "I'll talk to my boss today."
We hung up soon and I got ready for work. Arriving a little early I managed to catch my boss relaxed and not busy. She was surprised that I was actually early.
"You're surprising me every day Cagalli," she said, "Is it anything important."
I told her about leaving the job and she said, "Well I'd happily let you go, even though you've been a excellent worker, despite your tardy arrivals."
I grinned at her and she said, "I know I've been bitching at you ever since you got here, but that's just how I am. I wish you good luck in your career and I'll write you a paycheck before leaving."
I nodded and gave her a hug which she took rolling her eyes and shooed me off.
Everyone had soon heard about the fact that I was leaving. I had been working there for quite a while. The cooks gave me a free dinner, and to my total bewilderment there was cake too.
I left totally content that I finally had a future after this. I drove home quickly and rushed to finish packing and was locking my suitcase when Athrun knocked on the door. I was already changed into a pair of jeans, a tank top and Athrun's sweater fresh from the drier. Running shoes adoring my feet I opened the door to see an equally casual clothed Athrun, but looking sexier then in tights.
"I see you've kept my sweater," Athrun said coming in and kissed me instantly.
"It's very warm and comfy," I said hugging myself, "And soft."
"Well I guess I'll let you keep it," he said with and exaggerated sigh.
I punched his shoulder and said, "I'll buy you another one."
He winked and said, "At least I get something from you."
I knew he meant that as a joke, but he didn't know I actually meant it.
yay
sooo here's a preview for the next chapter
Athrun laughed at the two shared a manly hug. I felt awkward. The guy looked up at me and said, "And who's this pretty skirt with the nice jugs?"
Athrun punched his cousin a little and said, "Be polite to my girlfriend or I'll punch you."
I stared at the guy and said, "I have jugs?"
He broke off laughing and said, "Nice jugs means a nice rack darling."
I punched him in the face.
