there he was.

in all his glory.

Austin Butler.

he's only a few feet away but his presence could be sensed if you were a mere mile away.

he standing on the staircase, letting a few people take pictures, and as if he can feel my gaze longer on his back, he turns around to face me.

quickly i glance away, in hopes he didn't notice me staring.

if he was any other person i wouldn't mind, but since i'll be his costar, i'll be kissing him, i can only hope that we get along well.

i let my legs lead me up the huge staircase that made my jaw drop at my first glance.

it's even bigger in real life.

that's what she said

now that i've been walking, austin is only a few steps ahead of me.

there's a small flat surface before the stairs ascend some more and so i take a break on that, letting people take pictures.

Austin so happens to stop as well and i take this chance to introduce myself.

i walk behind him, contemplating the best way to introduce myself without startling him.

i just decide on gently approaching him.

"hi, Austin butler, right?" i ask, even though i know who he is.

he turns around and doesn't quite exactly tower over me, considering i'm a healthy five seven, but he's definitely a few inches taller.

a small smile forms on his face, "yes, that's me." he answers.

his voice is gruff, and deep, with just the perfect amount of rasp to it.

"althea girard." i say and i hold out my hand, to shake his.

he takes my hand and places a gentle kiss on it, the scruff of his beard slightly tickling it.

"nice to meet you althea." he says and i give him a warm smile.

"please call me thea." i say simply and he nods.

i hate when people call me althea, it's way too formal.

"alright, thea." he answers with a nod.

"if your wondering who i am, baz casted me to play Priscilla presley." i say and he doesn't look fazed.

"oh i know who you are." he says simply and i raise an eyebrow.

he immediately shakes his head with a goofy smile on his face, "that sounded creepy, i know." he laughs, which causes me to laugh.

"walk with me?" i ask and he nods as we begin to start our climb.

"so when are you scheduled to fly over to Australia?" Austin asks.

"in two week, i have to finish a few jobs and then i can head over." i explain and he nods.

"what about you?" i continue.

"one week, i'm supposed to be there earlier than everyone else in order to do a few costume sizings and stuff." he answers.

we reach the top of the steps and an interviewer is at the top, preparing to ask a few questions.

"so Austin, althea, who designed your outfits tonight?" the interviewer asks.

Austin answers first, "Prada." i watch as she nods towards me.

"my good friend alexander mcqueen." i say and i wave towards the camera that's recording our conversation, knowing he's probably watching.

she asks us a few more questions until she gets too my favorite.

"althea how does it feel to be casted as Priscilla presley in the new elvis film?"

i smile instantly, "it's been so surreal, she's been a makeup and fashion inspiration to me for almost forever making me so happy that i get to play her. i've been talking with Priscilla herself about some of her personality traits and it's so great knowing we share some of the same interests." i explain and the interviewer nods the whole time.

"that so wonderful! well it was great to talk to you guys, i can't wait to see the movie when it comes out." she winks and i see the camera man turns the camera so it faces the staircase.

that's our cue to leave and we turn around, walking towards a more empty area.

Austin smiles at me kindly "i'm kind of jealous you got to meet Priscilla before me." he says and i bite back a giggle.

i give him a sassy look as i place my hands on my hips, "well i'm the one playing her aren't i?" i state and he nods with a quiet laugh.

"so tell me about yourself Austin."

"uh well i've obviously acted in a few roles but elvis is probably my most important, and fun fact i play the guitar. what about yourself?" he states and i smile.

"i sing and act, but mainly i'm a model, and a little fun fact about me is that i play three instruments and i speak sorta fluent french." he smiles at my answer, seeming satisfied.

"your quite skilled." he states and i shrug my shoulders.

"eh."

someone comes up and pulls his arm, about to drag him away and i quickly say, "hey well it was nice meeting you, i'll see you soon?"

he nods with a smile "see you in Australia." and he then gets dragged off.

-

i lay down, preparing to go to bed, but i sigh when my phone goes off with a few random notifications.

i quickly grab my phone off the nightstand and i put it on do not disturb, then placing it back on the nightstand next to me.

i roll over and i close my eyes, sleep soon taking over.
