Chapter 2, We Meet Again?
We were back on set. Doing different things. Walking through a fake town. It was so 50's style. One part we were all in the cafeteria where Biff and Marty get in a brawl. And I hated to see Michael nearly get hurt though it was fake. He was so good at acting this role. He was not a high school student though. We were all older. But that was what Hollywood did. Today we were watching Michael in the malt shop one more time.
Doing different things. Where the mom had to be asked on a date by the dad and he chickens out. I loved watching this play out. I could not wait to watch the whole movie on the big screen.
I had a feeling it was going to be a huge success. Bianca was talking about Michael all day yesterday. How dreamy he was. How charming he was. We shared an apartment there in Hollywood with one another.
She was hogging my Michael scrap book and looking through it. She needed to start one of her own and give me mine back. We pigged out on pizza and chatted nearly all night. It was so much fun. Like a slumber party. I forgot how fun girls nights in could be. I really needed that. I sit at the counter with Bianca drinking a fake malt at the counter.
"Did you just call me chicken?" challenges Michael to Biff.
They glared at one another. I called him Biff because we all did. I could not remember the guys real name right now. I should know it by now, but I did not yet. So, Biff he would always be. At least to me anyway.
"Cut! Michael come on! Be a little more intense. He called you out. You have something to prove and you do not back down" orders the director.
"Right got it" sighs Michael.
"I thought he was doing great" I whisper to Bianca.
"Me to" she giggles softly.
"We will do that scene again!" they order.
Finally, we had a break. I had to get a water. I was thirsty. I head to where the bottled water was in the back. I twist the lid open. And quickly take a drink. Bianca was over talking to some cute guy that was an extra on the set to.
"Can you hand me one of those Camilla?" someone asks me.
"Sure, sure can" I say as I grab one. I go to hand it to whom I thought was my friend. It was Michael. I stand there with my mouth gaping open as I hand it to him.
"Your name is Camilla, right?" he laughs.
I nod. "Yes, it is" I giggle.
I am blushing now.
"Sorry I was shocked you remembered my name is all" I admit to him.
"How could I forgot such a lovely face" he teases me.
I smile and he smiles back.
"I bet you tell all the girls on the set that" I joke.
"Maybe maybe not" he laughs.
"I am glad to talk to you today" I hear myself say out loud. He looked pleased.
"You are?" he asks me.
"Oh yes, all the girls are dying to talk to you" I admit.
Now my face is really red.
Why did I say that?
"Well, I better go talk to all them. See ya" he tells me.
I sigh. I had a big mouth.
"I am joking Camilla" he teases me as he stays then places a hand on my arm.
"Oh" I giggle.
"This is your first movie?" he asks me. I nod.
"Mine and Bianca's" I add.
"And your cousin helped you get on set? I do think I know him" he mentions.
"You do? Wow" I say. He nods.
He takes a drink of his water. "It has been a busy crazy day" he sighs.
"I bet" I tell him. I had his attention. Michael was paying attention to me!
"This is not going to be my first movie. After this I was asked to try out for another later on" he admits to me.
"Really? How wonderful for you! What about Family Ties?" I worry.
"I still will be doing that to" he says with a shoulder shrug.
"That will make you very busy" I sigh. Far too busy for dating.... anyone!
"Yeah, but I love doing this. I can't get enough of it" he confides in me.
"You are a fantastic actor" I promise him.
He looks pleased at my words. "You think so?"
"I know so" I add.
"Michael come back we will start again" someone calls for him.
"Just a second" he calls back.
"Listen Camilla we meet again. Can we maybe get together tonight? For coffee? Something? I would like to keep talking more. Not around this" he explains to me.
He was asking me out on a date? Me?
I am stunned. I nod yes. "Oh yes" I manage to answer him.
He grins happily. He hands me a napkin and gives me a pen. "I need your phone number" he orders to me.
I write it down for him. Then hand him the napkin. "I can't wait" I admit.
"Me either. I will be in touch tonight. Okay?" he asks me.
"Okay" I shyly say as he smiles at me. He makes a point to touch my hand with his. A spark flickers jolting in my veins before his hand leaves mine. He smiles as he walks backwards then heads back on set.
"What just happened? Did he talk to you again?" Bianca asks as she rejoins my side.
I nod. "He asked me out" I tell her.
"What? Michael asked you out?" she giggles.
"Yes, he asked for my number and if we can meet up tonight. I agreed" I whisper softly to her.
"You are the luckiest girl" she sighs. "I swear."
"I am lucky" I agree feeling star struck. Or love struck. One of the two.
"Places everyone!" the director orders to us all.
We head back to our places. When I sit with my friend this time, I felt a pair of eyes on me. I look over letting myself glance at Michael. And he was looking at me as he waited for his turn to act. He winks then smiles at me.
I shyly smile back. I had a date. I could hardly wait!
