"I'm not in love, so don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through"
★
Everyone and their mothers by this point had heard about Aaron and his current wife Sam and that was for all the wrong reasons. In short, Aaron had been groomed into his marriage with Sam, meeting her when he was cast in her movie 'Nowhere Boy' as the main lead, and then the 42-year-old found herself in a relationship with the freshly eighteen-year-old Aaron.
To everyone else, this relationship was extremely...odd to say the least whilst some people didn't care the majority were disgusted not because of the age gap but because of how young Aaron had been. But even then Aaron thought he was in love and he stayed and now he was 35 and she was 58.
You had of course heard of Aaron even before you became a celebrity actress due to his predicament with his wife. You thought the Brit was gorgeous of course and you'd be right in saying so but you knew he was loyal as hell and so you never even considered making a move. Aaron like knew of you but for some reason, he had just never given you a second glance, he even found himself refusing to watch any movies with you in them.
It was odd for him, he never understood why he was that way with you but deep down he was anxious, anxious because he thought you were gorgeous and he couldn't even bear the thought of not being with Sam, he depended on her...or atleast that's how he felt seeing as he had barely got to live out his young adult years.
Recently, Aaron had been invited to attend the Premiere of a movie set to come out, all sorts of celebrities were there that Aaron was very friendly with. What he hadn't known was that you would be doing a small speech at the event...he would've never gone if he knew you were there.
As you gave your speech he felt like he was going to explode, his face was burning a bright red, his palms were sweating, his pupils were dilated, he was focusing on every little detail and he found you even more beautiful in person. He hated that he felt like this, he was married for God's sake.
After the speech he was left roaming around the event hall, lost in his own thoughts, desperately trying to convince himself that he didn't find you attractive at all, that his mind was just messing with him, until he saw you, standing by the bar having a drink and he froze in his footsteps.
Surely it couldn't hurt to speak to you right? Maybe if he spoke to you he'd realise hat he didn't like you all along and then he could stop feeling so anxious about you but each time he snuck a glance at you it was like he was broken from Sam's spell, his mind running anxiously with thoughts about their marriage, thoughts about what the tabloids said about him and Sam and thoughts about how weird their relationship was, maybe they were right?
His mind was racing with anxious thoughts so much so he hadn't even noticed himself walking up to you. You glanced up from your cup only to see a very nervous Aaron looking at you, it was almost comical to see this giant, muscular dude shaking like a leaf.
"Hiya-" he stuttered out, placing his hand out for you to shake, being near you was only making his thoughts about 'accidentally cheating' worse.
"Uh- I'm Aaron- Aaron Taylor-Johnson, dunno if you've uhm heard of me." The actor managed to get out as you looked up at him with a confused but endearing smile that made his heart race but also sink slightly.
