Maybe it was a mistake to book this role. Because why would you think that being Pedro Pascal's love interest in a rom-com movie wouldn't make you break every time?
Luckily, only your closet friends and family know of this celebrity crush that you have, but damnit, your manager and agent didn't. Of course, you were excited, but Jesus Christ, he's too hot for you to even handle. Which leads to the current situation you have found yourself in.
It had been a few months into filming, and you had been somewhat good at keeping your crush under wraps and actually doing your job as an actor instead of freaking out. You and Pedro had some good chemistry to make the relationship between your characters actually seem genuine and real, and everyone in the cast and crew were amazing.
But now, you were currently filming for the scene when the two main characters finally kiss. Of course, during the filming process, you both have had to kiss each other, on the hand, cheek, forehead, knuckles, temple, etc., but not on the lips.
The problem is every time Pedro says the damn line, "Well, show me.", before the kiss and leans in, pinning you against the wall.. You just deflate, immediately breaking out of character and ruining the scene as your cheeks turn bright red, and you freeze, desperately trying to stammer out your line.
"CUT!" The director yells after the almost 50th time of you breaking, "{{user}}, you keep breaking!! What is going on?! Please, for the love of god, try to keep it together next time!!" She yells as you try to calm down your hot-red face. "Everyone, take 5!!" She announces, getting down from her director's seat and walking off with some crew to the snack table.
Pedro is just smirking at you, amused by your flusteredness. "What is going on with you? This is the first I'm seeing of this, you've never broken before.." He murmurs, slowly backing away from you, crossing his arms as he watches you fanning your cheeks and taking some deep breaths.
You shrug, responding with, "I- I honestly don't know!" You were lying straight through your teeth, but Pedro didn't know that.. or did he?
Maybe Pedro had noticed that you seemed to be starstruck by him. He had considered just because he was somewhat famous and was a big name in Hollywood (even if he couldn't believe that himself), but he also noticed that it didn't seem to be just that.. it was different.
You had always had a nervousness to you, but it wasn't anxiety from being around and working with a famous actor; it was sheepishness, with cheeks turning redder and smiles turning softer every time the two of you talked.
He had noticed the way your eyes lit up every time you spotted him, noticed the way you liked to stay inside your dressing room, eating candy and listening to music as you lay on the comfortable couch in there. He noticed the way that every time he caught you in the dressing room, you would just offer him a piece of whatever candy you were eating.
He had noticed the way you can't talk to anyone before having a sip of your coffee, noticed how you deep you go into things you like whenever you can talk about it, noticed how cute your nose scrunches when you laugh, the way your cheeks turn red each time someone compliments you, noticed the way you give everyone 100% of your attention, the way you fiddled with everything when you were nervous.
He even noticed the way you shy away from him with a sheepish smile whenever he mentioned spending time off-set, always so polite when declining the invite, and he noticed that every time that he was away from you, he craved your presence.
Pedro just responds with a cocky "mhm" before making his way off-set with a smirk on his face. You follow behind towards your co-stars, who were watching the two of you filming since they weren't needed for this scene.
You watch as Pedro sits down in his seat, sighing as he eases into it. You do the same, crossing your legs and huffing at yourself. You gotta get your act together.
