Eternal Flame (7) - Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?
Cover by: @ortegalvr
Jenna Ortega x Female Reader
Summary: For her it’s a passion, for you it’s an accident. And as she continues shining brighter and brighter with each role you are left mesmerized, drawn to her flame and cherishing every time she lets herself be vulnerable with you.
Masterlist / First Part / Previous Part / Next Part
Word count: 2.5k
-Decided that once again I was just dreaming of bumping into you-
Jenna stumbled into her room, feeling rather happy after going out to drink. “Maybe I had a bit too much,” she giggled as she dropped down on her bed and sighed, it was only 10 p.m. but she did need to wake up early and wrap up filming X. Especially since she was this drunk. Her clothes smelled like a bar, like cigarette smoke and alcohol and she crawled off her bed to her already packed suitcases.
“Where is it?” she scratched the side of her head and just sat down in front of the suitcases, unable to remember which one it was in. So, adamant on getting what she wanted she opened the first suitcase and began looking through it for a familiar dark green T-shirt. She managed to spot something matching that color, but it turned out to be just one of her own shirts, so she pushed the suitcase aside and, without caring about the pile of clothes she was leaving on the floor, moved on to the next suitcase, until each of her suitcases ended up empty.
All her effort to pack gone to waste, and no results to show.
She slumped, she brought it along, she was certain, hell, she wore it to bed a couple of times while in New Zealand. And then she felt like a lightbulb lit up in her head and turned around to look at her chair. And there it was, folded neatly, a dark green T-shirt. Jenna stumbled to her feet and felt wobbly, but she pushed on, taking her clothes off and putting the T-shirt on. It was long enough to cover her and definitely larger than the rest of her shirts, not that it was a surprise. She sighed contently as the soft fabric made her smile and she went under the covers with her phone already unlocked.
What time was it in Denver? She tried to think, but wasn’t entirely capable of doing so, the whiskey she drank really messed up her mind. She still managed to call you and put you on speaker as she grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it.
You still didn’t pick up and eventually Jenna frowned and glared at her phone screen. The call didn’t connect, so she called again and groaned, feeling a headache already ruining her night.
“Jenna?!” your shout made her whine, and she pulled the phone away and put you on speaker. You sounded kinda adorable and sleepy. Why were you sleeping now of all times? “Did something happen? Say something!” you demanded, progressively getting more awake and worried with every word.
“Something,” she laughed at her own joke and then giggled when you groaned.
“Real funny,” you sighed. “You can’t sleep?” you asked but she was too busy hugging her pillow.
“I need a firmer pillow,” she complained. “Or you, you were really comfy,” she confessed, smiling as she thought back to when you were filming Scream and specifically that scene when Sidney and Gale call your character in the middle of the night. She was so tired that night that she actually fell asleep on top of you and you had to repeat the scene because she didn’t wake up in time. In her defense, camera had an issue after the first try and it was too big of a pain in the ass to move from the set for the twenty minutes it would take for the issue to be fixed. Well, twenty minutes turned into nearly an hour, and she just fell asleep like Tara did.
“Say what?” you repeated.
“I want,” she hiccupped, and not really thinking of her words just skipped a bit forward. “you,” she even put emphasis on that word.
She was met with silence. “Jen?” you eventually spoke up.
“Yeah, Baby?” she slurred, turning onto her back and spreading her arms.
“Are you drunk?” you asked.
Jenna glanced at her phone. She should have facetimed you instead. “Yeah, and you know what else?” she asked and hung up before you could answer. Clumsily she managed to open her camera and take a selfie. She just sent it to you and then called you. “I’m wearing your shirt and only have my underwear underneath it,” she confessed. “And not for the first time either,” you deserved to know.
“Have mercy, it’s 4 in the morning here,” you sounded almost ready to cry and Jenna could picture you dragging your palm down your face.
“Perfect time,” she almost sang and grabbed her phone, only to drop it next to her head. “Your fault for making me miss you, mhm, no, actually, your fault for making me like you,” she had no filter whatsoever.
“Jen, go to sleep, please,” you told her, almost pleaded, but she wasn’t sleepy.
“Later. I really wish you were- with, uh, under me. Can you come see me?” she asked, really liking the idea of seeing you again. Whose idea was it to not see each other for three and a half months? Oh, yeah, you had to go to Italy when she was on break. Stupid scheduling differences. “Baby? You there?” she asked and turned around as she struggled to get comfortable.
“Yeah, just contemplating things,” you eventually spoke up.
“You know, I filmed a scene not too long ago,” she apparently had no desire to keep anything a secret from you at the moment.
“Jenna, wait, you can’t tell me about it,” you warned her, sounding almost like you were panicking.
“Wish I did it with you,” she just continued, completely ignoring your warning.
“Oh, okay,” you sighed, relieved, not knowing where she was going with this. Granted she wasn’t sure where she was going with it either, at this point she was just talking without thinking, just saying whatever she felt or whatever came to her mind.
“Lying on the bed as I crawl to you in my underwear,” she hummed, maybe you could do something like that. “Think we can fit that into Scream?” she suggested. “Though I’d rather have you in a more active role.”
“Fuck! Jenna Ortega, go to sleep!” you exclaimed fiercely.
Jenna whined, feeling like her head was being slammed into a wall repeatedly. “Don’t yell at me!” she cried out and clutched her head.
“Please just go to sleep,” you lowered your tone, so it wasn’t hurting her head.
“Would you do it with me? Film a scene like that?” she asked curiously. “Pretend we are about to have sex?
“Jenna,” you sighed, and she hoped you accepted that she was awake and that meant you’d stay awake too. She heard you moving in your bed. Maybe to sit up? What did your bedroom look like anyway.
“My bedroom?” you asked incredulously. Oh, so she actually said that.
“Come on, I’d do it with you. Just tell me,” she pushed you to answer.
“Jen, please,” but you just said that nickname you chose for her and she loved it, loved the way it sounded when you said it.
It kinda got her mind off the scene she did. “Talk to me, I haven’t heard your voice in a while,” she requested, slowly closing her eyes and just listened. “Tell me about your movie?”
“You know I can’t,” you sighed, but she was too stubborn right now.
“Bits, come on? For me?” she even pouted, even though you couldn’t see her.
“I don’t ever want to smoke cigarettes again. It was awful,” you slowly began talking, picking and choosing what you can tell her. “It was kinda fun aside from that. It was fun playing the complete opposite of me,” she hummed at that, she was going to drag you along to watch the movie with her.
“I know you were amazing,” she whispered, now actually feeling a bit sleepy.
“Right back at you,” you said and she could imagine the gentle smile on your face, filled with admiration and love for her and she felt her face heating up.
“I really need you here,” she completely switched the topic once more. “Closer to me, just knowing that if talking won’t put me to sleep, you can just sneak into my room and help me out,” it happened exactly one time. Talking wasn’t helping so you snuck through the halls and into her room and actually tucked her in and made her drink a warm glass of milk. You were really making it easier for her to sleep.
“Wish you were here as well,” she nearly didn’t hear you, since she yawned, but she did hear you and she felt warmth engulfing her.
“You miss me?” she asked, though there was a bit of playfulness in her tone.
“Yeah, I do, now sleep,” you were persistent, and she reluctantly accepted your demands.
“Night, Baby,” she muttered, way sleepier than she thought she was going to be.
~X~
The dream last night was embarrassing, but she'd be lying if she said it wasn't welcome. Just hearing your voice, talking to you, a realistic dream instead of dreaming about meeting up with you like she did on several occasions. She had a huge smile on her face, despite the pounding headache as she unlocked the phone with the intention of calling her mom to check up on her and just hear her voice, and then she saw it.
She called you last night.
She should jump off the plane with no parachute, and above the ocean so no one ever finds her remains. She should change her name and never again contact anyone and go live in solitude. At the very least she should never contact you again. Not only because she called you at that hour, but also because of what she sent you.
That photo. Her, in your shirt, which was fine on its own, she quite liked sleeping in it. But it was her, in your shirt, on the bed, with her hair the complete mess and for whatever reason tugging on the collar of the shirt and licking her upper lip. And she sent it to you! She should be thankful she didn’t post it in her drunken state, but sending it to you was nearly as bad.
She should just disappear and never come back. Okay, maybe contact her family, but no one else, especially not you.
“What did I even say?!” she cried out, desperately trying to force her brain to wake up and mind to process the memories. And she called you at 4 in the morning?! That alone was too much, and then it hit her and her face lit up. “Oh my god…!” she wasn’t sure what was the worst thing she said, that’s how bad everything was. Telling you the kind of scenes she wanted to film with you was already bad enough, but talking about sleeping with you? She would never talk to you again.
She had to call you and apologize, right away.
Actually, no, she just couldn’t do it.
And then her phone rang
~X~
To say you had an eventful night would be an understatement. The conversation with Jenna woke you up completely and you failed to fall asleep again, her drunken confessions caused chaos in your head, but you also knew she would be catastrophizing this like it was the worst thing she could ever do.
So, while making sure it was still morning for her, yet that she couldn’t be filming already, you went and called her. She didn’t answer at first and you were about to give up and call again when she answered the call.
“Uh, hey,” yeah, she already had more than enough time to remember what happened last night and convince herself how awful it was.
“Hey, Jen,” you said softly, hoping that would work and show her everything was fine, at least for you. “How are you feeling?” you heard her swallowing, hard, heard the hitch in her breathing.
“I’m sorry about last night,” she sounded like she was about to cry.
“Jenna, hey, hey, just listen to me. Nothing bad happened, you got drunk and called me, it’s okay, I’m not angry at you,” you quickly told her, now you actually wished you were closer to her instead of on the other side of the world. You wished you could hug her and comfort her, but instead you were stuck like this, unable to do anything but talk to her over the phone. Jenna hesitated, you could feel that. “Please, don’t worry about it,” you pleaded as you leaned back on the chair.
“What I said, God I should never drink again,” she still worried about it, and you figured she had the worst hangover of her life to add to her misery.
“How about we just meet up and talk about this instead?” you suggested, knowing there really wasn’t much you could do for her like this. “I just need you to know it’s okay, that nothing is changing between us,” you kind of began figuring out that you liked Jenna, as more than a friend and if her drunken words were true she kinda liked you back. You should be happy because of that, yet at the same time you figured you would always have to struggle with time you could spend together. And if the you kept being on the other sides of the world, so far from one another even the calls would sometimes be difficult.
Not to mention you were under the impression you had no chance with her, which might have been a wrong impression given the last night, but that was beside the point.
Luckily Jenna’s want to see you won over her embarrassment. “I want to see you, I’ll, I’ll come and see you the moment I come back home,” she promised and you smiled.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting, so don’t worry, we’re okay,” you assured her once more.
“I have to go, we’ll start shooting soon,” she said and whispered a quick ‘bye’ before hanging up.
You set the phone aside and took a deep breath. You’d be okay, you and Jenna would be okay.
You did have certain feelings to process and figure out, but that was the least of your worries at the moment. Hell, you were even a bit happy about that.
~X~
Jenna clutched her phone to her chest, breathing heavily. You weren’t angry, you still wanted to see her, she didn’t fuck everything up in her drunken state. She fell onto her bed sideways and pulled her pillow closer to hide her smile. As embarrassed as she was, she was still happy you called and chased away her worries about this.
She felt much calmer than before, and more importantly with the way her heart was beating right now she no longer had any doubts. This was no longer just a crush. She was actually in love.
A/N: I have no idea if this ended up being any good, I still think I pushed it a bit too far with Jenna being drunk, so do tell me what you think.
