A/N: Well just as I promised, here is the teaser for Constant Repeat. This is my Alex Turner x OC (f) that I’ve been writing for quite a while now. I love this fic so much, it’s the first one I started to write (my little first born really, it’s my baby) and I truly cannot wait to finish it and share it with you all. Hope you like this little bit from Part 1, see you all soon!

Ten minutes later, they had started filming. The sun wasn’t setting just yet, only just making its slow way down towards the water and she swore it was out of a painting. The four men were glowing under the sun's rays and it would be a lie to say they all didn’t look stunning.
They were called over to check the videos that had been captured and said it looked really good, so everyone sat down for a bit, waiting for the sun to set.
Ella was sat by the greenery that had made its way through a rock, splashes of yellow flowers on top, hoping the earthy warmth cured the way she was starting to shake from the wind.
“Are you alright?” the question made its way to her ears, words coated in a thick English accent.
An ‘oh’ left her lips when she looked up to find Alex Turner looking down at her, she cleared her throat. “Yeah, just a little bit cold,” she looked at the sea and then back up when she felt his gaze not leaving her, “Are you all enjoying the shoot?”
He sat down beside her on the massive rock, taking his hands out of the pockets of his jeans, “It’s been fun, yeah” he turned to look at her, he was a little bit taller than her when sitting down.
“Have you been to California before?” she hugged herself when a strong wind blew past her, she shouldn’t have trusted California weather and brought a jacket.
“We have a few times. This is the second time we’ve come to record though,” he was looking ahead, but didn’t miss the way she was shaking so he turned to her, “Do you wanna change places? I can block the wind from hitting you” and he was right, if he sat where she was, he could cover her from the wind hitting her left side.
She shook one last time before letting a pathetic “Yes, please” out, he just smiled at her and took her place. A few seconds must’ve gone by when a hard breeze flew by, their new seating arrangement working just as planned, “That’s better, thank you” she said blushing.
Taking a deep breath she continued, “Uhm… I hope you all are liking your stay here, ever-not-so-very-sunny-right-now California”
He chuckled at that, “It has been good to us, yeah”, they looked at each other and she just gave him a tiny nod.
She wasn’t sure what to do next so she just closed her mouth to not say something she might regret, not because it would be bad but because he intimidated her and she feared saying something dumb or embarrassing out of pressure.
So they sat there in silence, one that was surprisingly comfortable as if they were just two lifelong friends enjoying each other's company relishing the old days in their minds, staring out into the deep sea and admiring the reflection of the dying sun on it.
That was until Ben called her, she turned immediately and stood up quicker than she would’ve liked. She opened her mouth to say something to the man sitting down but nothing came out while she struggled to pick the right words in her mind. She settled for a “I’ll see you around”, she leaned down to get her clipboard, dusting off some sand from it and left with a quick pace.
Alex watched her leave, noticing how she listened thoughtfully at the directors and nodded every few seconds, her brows furrowed and writing down a few notes. Mindful of his staring, he fished for his cigarettes in the pocket of his jeans, taking one into his mouth and covering it with his hand while lighting it, due to the still strong wind going around. He blew a cloud of smoke into the air, head slightly tilted back, loving the way he relaxed instantly with just the first drag.
A few minutes must’ve gone by when he was almost done with his cigarette, noticing Ella going around talking to the crew, all of them setting up and getting ready to film. Matt came to where he was at, following the direction of his eyes and landing on Ella’s figure, he laughed a little and shook his head “Alright player, need I remind you you have a girlfriend?”.
Rolling his eyes, Alex settled for not entertaining the teasing, after years of friendship he knew better than that, “Shall we go where we’re supposed to be now?” He put out the last of his cigarette on top of the rock and threw it somewhere behind it.
“Yeah, we’re all ready” the drummer replied and he nodded. Calling the rest of the bandmates, they started walking towards the ocean.

She chuckled and turned to him, hugging herself a little bit tighter, “So easy for you to say, Mr. England.”
He fully laughed this time, her smile getting bigger after the sound left his lips, “Fair enough, Ms. California.”
At that she looked at him, a slight smirk on her face and shook her head, “Ms. Tennessee, actually.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Alex took his chance then to interrogate her, “So Ellie, I couldn’t help but notice how you knew all the lyrics to the songs…”
She rolled her eyes at him, blushing slightly but this time because she had been caught. “Well, after filming Brick by Brick I started listening to your music. You aren’t that bad, I guess.” She smirked and shrugged, downplaying it.
He shook his head, puffing his chest out to say, “We are very far from bad, actually.”
She nodded and then sarcastically added, “And from humble too.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Matt followed the trail of his eyes and smirked, “Alexa would get on with her quite nicely, don’t you think?”
Alex turned quickly at the mention of his girlfriend and then rolled his eyes at his friend’s antics, “Piss off, Helders.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Matt opened his mouth, seeing the perfect opportunity laid out in front of him so he asked in a tone that said he was up to no good, “Ella! Have you ever ridden a motorbike?”
She shook her head, “Nope, but they seem fun though.”
The biggest, most satisfied grin made its way to the drummer’s face then, “Oh I’m sure Alex would love to take you for a ride.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
He squeezed her to wake her up and whispered in her ear, “Ella, darling, let’s go inside.”
Humming, she gave him a lazy nod. “Five more minutes please,” she mumbled against his chest before resting her chin on it to look up at him, and smiling softly with her eyes struggling to stay open.
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
“Really Ella? You couldn’t get more American.” Matt had said the second he saw the turquoise Natural American Spirit cigarette pack.
Alex giggled, “What does organic cigarettes even mean?”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Alex’s heart dropped, thinking about all the possibilities of something happening to her, “I’m gonna text her and see if she’s okay.”
“Well, she probably isn’t after she’s played cupid against herself.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Alex took a long sip of the beverage before he cleared his throat, “You should get ready, we’re going out in a little bit.”
Ella frowned, the cup slowly leaving her lips. “But–” she turned to Jamie then, who was still standing beside her, “Didn’t we not have plans?”
Jamie smirked, looking from Ella to Alex, “We didn’t.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
“A picture would last you longer, Alex.” Ella played, as she scrolled on her phone.
His cheeks heated slightly, “It would. Quite gutted I’m driving right now.”
She blushed but leaned into the console to get closer to him and kissed his cheek, “Your memory better do then.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Alex shook his head, walking a few steps to try and grab the bottle from her hand. “Ellie, you’re not, I pro–”
The interruption was now a loud and short laugh, like she was making fun of his attempt of an answer. “Don’t even lie, Alex. You did the same thing.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Ella sighed, almost tired but she wasn’t gonna back down now, “Miles I think someone needs to teach you to put your mouth to a better use. I can think of a few things.”
That made gasps and laughs break out inside the room, Ella giggled along because she was surprised she had actually said that.
Miles tried playing his cards then, “Wait– are you– are you offering? Because I'm down.”
That made Ella laugh hard, but not loud enough to miss Alex’s stern, “Fuck off, Miles.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
“I cannot believe I’m actually going to the UK.” She said breathlessly.
Matt chuckled, “Ellie you’re fucking seeing us at Glastonbury, it sounds cooler like that.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
The speakers blasted the song all over again, making Ella sway her hips softly to it. Mumbling the lyrics under her breath, she went to stand beside Alex and nudged him gently with her hip, “This is a banging tune.”
Alex smirked looking at her and then back to where Ben was working his magic with the camera, “Oh well,” he shrugged nonchalantly, “You’re a great muse.”
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
“You are about to get married,” she pointed at the bassist first and then to the guitarist, “And you just got engaged, so don’t talk shit when you’re the same.”
“Well I didn’t just suck my boyfriend off in the bathroom, so I can definitely talk shit.” Jamie was quick to reply back, making her roll her eyes.
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
A/N: Words cannot describe how fucking excited I am to share this all with you!!! I’ve loved writing this story for the past nine months and it continues to make me screech every time I add more to it or read back to my favorite moments.
I’ll be posting Part 1 on the 3rd, Part 2 will be coming on the 10th and after that you’ll have a new part every other week, just so there’s plenty of Constant Repeat to last us for a while :)
Thank you so much for reading and I’ll be very eagerly waiting for February 3rd to arrive!
can we please get a teaser for constant repeat part 6🥹
Of course! Here’s a little taste of what’s coming this Friday 🫣 (and a little gif as a premise first hehe)
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
(27/07/2012 16:10) Holy shit Alex! The Olympics opening ceremony?! Congratulations!! You and the guys did amazing!!!
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
She took a deep breath before she opened the door and was greeted by the band and their confused expressions which only lasted a few seconds. When they realized it was Ella they erupted in cheer as if they hadn't seen her just last week.
She giggled, "Good morning guys, you're very energetic today." She let her bag drop from her shoulder onto a settee that was set next to the door. "Maybe I shouldn't have brought you coffee."
Nick sighed and went over to hug her, "No, you're actually a lifesaver. Planning a wedding through the phone is a nightmare."
Ella cooed but a chuckle cut it short, "Awh Nick," and after they hugged, she lifted the cup holder to read which one was Nick's. "Here you go." She handed the bassist his coffee and then turned to the rest of the band.
"I got them as I remembered you liked them. Hope your orders haven't changed much since February."
Maybe mentioning February hadn't been the best idea because the room fell silent for a few seconds, but they had felt like an eternity.
Fuck.
Thankfully, Matt decided to be the menace he always was and made the tension lift up from her shoulders by chatting back, "Not the best PA, are you?"
She rolled her eyes, "I haven't been here for five minutes yet and I already wanna strangle you."
He winced, "Sorry Ellie, not really into getting choked myself but nice try."
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
👀👀👀 When I tell you I’m itching to post this, I mean it. Cannot wait for Friday, 3pm EST as always! See y’all then xx
