Hi Guys This is my First fan fic so let me know what you think! It's about Orlando and Keira, Orlando has finished filming Pirates . . . but Keira doesn't play Elizabeth Swann so it's not strictly a Keira / Orlando fan fic but smiliar! Enjoy Chapter 1 ~ The Arrival Terminal "Charlie! Charlie!" She called but there was no response. Keira looked around distraught that she could not find him. She dropped all of her luggage and paced around the large open space, retracing her steps in her head. "He was with me when I got off the plane and when I collected my luggage from the carousel but I can't remember anything after that." Keira began to fret. She was not watching where she was going and walked straight into someone. Keira immediately fell backwards, over her luggage and was sprawled out on the ground. "Oh my god! Are you all right? I am so sorry." The man was leaning over and held out his hand to help her up. She noticed his accent, British. She always had a thing for accents, but his accent was nothing compared to his eyes. They were a chocolaty brown colour and they looked so deep, so meaningful. Keira grabbed his hand and stood up, quickly brushing herself down. "Yeah I’m fine. Please, it was entirely my fault I’m so sorry." Keira knew she was babbling but it was the only way she could distract herself from looking deeply into those eyes. "I'm sorry if I sound rude, but are you missing anything? It's just that I heard you calling out Charlie before and I thought maybe you had lost your son or something." She could not resist. Keira looked into the beautiful, sincere eyes and thought she was going to melt. "Oh um, my dog, Charlie. I cannot seem to find him. He's a Labrador so he shouldn't be too hard to find." The man had luggage himself, and she began to wonder what his name was. "I think I know where he's hiding." He laughed and pointed just to the right of her and slightly behind. There was Charlie. Lying on the luggage carousel, with his head resting on his front paws. Keira ran straight over to him, with the leash in her hand and heaved him off the carousel. She gave Charlie the biggest hug and a bit of a scratch. Keira attached his leash and led him over to the man. "This is Charlie, Charlie this is, oh sorry I didn't catch your name." "That's because I never gave it. Extremely rude of me, I apologize." "Apology accepted! I am Keira, Keria Knightley." "Orlando Bloom, pleased to formally meet you. Are you staying in Britain long?" He was hoping Keira was going in his general direction. Maybe they could split a cab and he could get to know her a little better. Orlando was beginning to really like her. He thought it was especially cute when she nibbled at her nails. He noticed already that it only happens when she is nervous. “I only just arrived. I had a connecting flight from Singapore. I live in Sydney, Australia.” Keira thought his overall appearance was amazing considering he just got off a plane. “Oh that’s fantastic! I love Sydney. I think it’s brilliant.” His facial expressions were genuine, “I am headed towards Canterbury. I am staying at the Hilton. It is just there apparently. Judging from your accent, I am guessing you are from around here. Any chance you could point me in the right direction?” She knew he could tell she was nervous. “You’re kidding. I am at the Hilton too, plus I grew up in Canterbury, if you want I could show you around?” He could not believe how well they were getting along. “Okay this is kind of freaky. Oh Orlando, would it be presumptuous of me to ask if we could split a cab?” Bianca saw his reaction and her face fell. She knew she had been to forward in asking. What was she thinking? A guy like that, that gorgeous and sensitive and real. He had to already be taken. “Um Orlando, look I’m sorry. I didn’t,” Keira began but a grinning Orlando cut her off. “I’d love to. Just wanted to see your reaction.” He laughed as she shoved him. Keira grabbed her luggage and Charlie and headed towards the exit. Orlando followed in quick pursuit.

Haylo all here is the update enjoy! Sorry that it is so short!
Chapter 2 A Taxi Ride
The pair sat quietly both considering the same thing. Keira felt that she was falling for him. In her mind, she doubted it, having known him only for 3 minutes. However, she liked the way he was a little boy trapped in a man’s body. Orlando really liked Keira. There were little things that he noticed that were similar between them, like the fact they both shared the same bad habit, biting their nails. It was then that Orlando broke the silence.
“Keira, after we get to the hotel, was there anything you were planning on doing?”
“Only showering and unpacking. Why?” Her smile was intoxicating.
“Well, I didn’t want to say anything but,” he began grinning wildly, “you really stink! I was hoping showering was a high priority on your list, possibly before you unpacked?” Keira smiled and replied.
“I didn’t want to say anything either but, you still have lunch on your face. Oh and the Dr Pepper you split during “turbulence” on the plane, has made your shirt turn an icky brown colour and stick to your chest. I think that you, Mr Bloom are the one in urgent need of a shower.” She watched him as he looked down at his shirt and laughed, it clung completely to his chest and thanks to the “turbulence” Keira could see every muscle on his upper torso. Was she complaining? Both Orlando and Keira planned to meet in 2 hours time at Keira’s hotel room after they had showered and unpacked.
Keira let herself into her hotel room. It was three doors from Orlando’s. There was a lounge area that was the central focus of the room. Then to the right was a bar, kitchen and laundry and to the left a bathroom and bedroom. The room was beautifully decorated with an Asian theme and mainly red and black colours.
Keira struggled to get into his room. His key card did not seem to work. After calling Keira for help he entered his room. It was set up similarly except it was more of a beachy feel and decorated in blue and crème. Both Keira and Orlando could not believe they were to live here for the next 6 months of their lives.
Orlando began to think. If anything romantic was to happen between Keira and Orlando it would definitely happen in Keira’s room. Hers was more properly decorated and the colours felt more comfortable. What was he thinking? He had known her just over 2 hours and already was falling for her. It was not possible. Or was it? He was so unsure. All he knew was he was in urgent need of a cold shower.

Thanks i think keira and orlando have more chemistry than some random chick called bianca and orlando anyhoos here's the next chapter
Chapter 3 Clothing Issues
Orlando went to meet Keira at her hotel room. He knocked on her door and suddenly became extremely nervous. He did not understand why but he had spent the last hour and a half getting ready. As Keira opened the door Orlando noticed his palms become sweaty. She was wearing a pair of low riding jeans, singlet top and belt. Her hair was out and reached the small of her back. He was amazed that what she was wearing had this effect on him.
Keira stood at the door and looked him up and door. He was wearing a pair of baggy jeans, white wife beater and a blue beanie. She noticed he was wearing a bunch of necklace around his neck and made a mental note to ask him about them after.
“Hi,” Keira quickly broke the silence, “Where are we going?”
“If I told you, I’d have to kill you!” Orlando smirked. “It’s kind of a secret place, my favourite place in Canterbury.” The look on his face was sincere and genuine.
“Okay if you insist. Come on in, I’ll call downstairs for a cab.”
“No need, my agent dropped my car by earlier. I’ll get the valet to bring it around.”
“I really like that beanie, I want to wear it.” And with that Keira pulled the beanie off Orlando’s head. He immediately turned around. “What’s wrong? Do you want your beanie back? I was only joking.” Keira exclaimed worriedly.
“Nothing, it’s just I didn’t brush my hair, so you can’t look at me. I am a mess!” Orlando turned red as Keira let out a relieved sigh.
“You’re not getting your beanie back so deal with it! You can’t avoid looking at me all day!” Keira did not realise the double meaning that statement had on him.
“Alright fine! But you must promise not to laugh. Promise?” the tone of his voice made Keira realise he was kidding.
“Okay I promise.” Orlando turned around slowly as Keira's jaw dropped. She thought he looked absolutely gorgeous. She couldn’t understand why he thought people would laugh at him with his hair like that. His curls fell across his eyes and cheeks. Orlando ran his hand through his hair and then to the tip of Keira’s chin. He pushed it up so that her jaw was shut. Keira blushed but held the gaze for what seemed like forever. Finally Keira looked away and in her head she cursed herself for doing so. She knew that if she looked any longer she would kiss him and she wasn’t sure if Orlando wanted that. “Okay, are you ready to go?”
“Um, sure!” Orlando grabbed Keira’s hand and pulled her out the door.
Sorry a little bit short will update tomorrow!

here it is:
Chapter 4 A Mustang and A Secret Spot
The valet brought Orlando’s car around and Keira’s eyes lit up. Silver Ford Mustang! All of Keira’s friends knew that Mustangs were her favourite type of car.
“Oh my God!” Keira exclaimed.
“What’s wrong? Was it me? Cause I can be quite rude” Orlando began to fidget and run his fingers through his hair.
“No you didn’t do anything wrong, and you are not rude. I absolutely love Ford Mustangs. It’s my favourite car.” Orlando sighed in relief.
“Would you like to drive, I’ll direct you.” He threw the keys to Keira and he had never seen her happier. As he hopped into the passenger side, they began discussing their past. Keira learnt that Orlando was in fact the Elf from Lord of the Rings and he was here to promote his new movie, Pirates of The Caribbean.
Orlando found out that Keira is a photographer. She is in Britain to do a couple of photo shoots for some British magazines, the first of which isn’t until Tuesday week that was 13 days to become acclimated to her presence.
“So then I went to Guildhall when I was 16 because I thought the big city, London was the place I needed to go to if I wanted to make it as a big time actor. It was 2 days before I graduated and Peter Jackson was like, here you go Bloom, have a career. That is it really. Turn right here, and pull over onto the grass. You can leave your stuff in the car; it will be safe I promise.” Orlando finished.
Keira slipped her arm into Orlando’s and followed his lead. After walking for about five hundred metres, enjoying the silent atmosphere they arrived at a forest full of luscious old trees. Orlando released Keira’s arm from his own and ran towards the nearest tree. He scaled it easily and Keira watched him as he placed his feet on the knobs of the tree trunks. She continued to walk deeper into the forest, mainly to tease him and see him chase after her. As she walked she noticed out of the corner of her eye, Orlando jumping from branch to branch to keep up with her. He was well balanced and agile, strangely familiar and extremely elf like. Keira spoke without looking at him.
“Be careful Orlando, we don’t need any injuries at the moment.” As she turned, he realized how wise she looked and then began to grin. Immediately Keira knew he was up to something.
“Climb up, it’s not that high.” Orlando called down to her from above.
”I can’t, I’m scared Orlando.”<br> “Look Keira, you can’t live in fear. I used to. It made my life hell. I began branching out; taking risks and now I’m an adrenaline junkie. I can’t get enough of it. If you don’t like it I promise we can leave okay.” Orlando looked at her with the biggest puppy dog eyes and Keira just couldn’t resist.
“Alright.” Keira climbed up the trunk of one of the tress, placing her foot in the naturally made steps from the knobs of the tree. Orlando gave his hand to her and she grabbed it. He was leaning back against the trunk of the tree with his legs wrapped around the branch. As he pulled Keira up she sat leaning on him with her back against his chest. She liked the way she fit perfectly into his arms. It felt safe, and as though it was meant to be.
“I came here all the time when I lived here. I remember getting into deep trouble from mum all the time because she always went to so much trouble to make dinner, and when I arrived it was really cold! But food never stopped me. This was my world, my place that’s why when the government decided to clear the land I bought it. I realized how much it meant to me and I couldn’t let that be taken away from me. If you climb up to those branches you can see all of Canterbury. I’ve only been up there twice.”<br> “Dare I ask why?” Keira questioned.
“Both times I was up there it was because I needed to be alone. There was nothing I could do, no one I could turn to. The first time when I found out my father died.” A small gasp came from Keira’s mouth and Orlando liked her sympathy. He smiled and continued, “The second time was when I found out he wasn’t my biological father. I mean it was hard and all. Growing up believing someone is your father and then being told no this guy is. But all families have their secrets; it’s just that all of mine revolve around one person, my dad.” Keira swiveled around to face him.
“Okay alright that’s enough. Change of topic. Have you ever jumped down? You know from this high up?” Keira asked knowing the answer was already no.
“Actually yes.” Keira’s jaw dropped. “Alright I lied, I fell. I was eleven and I ended up breaking my left arm and I cracked a couple of ribs too. Alright now it’s my turn to ask you a question.”<br> “Okay, shoot.” Keira was prepared to answer anything. Orlando breathed out slowly and turned his gaze to face Keira.
“Would you like to come to dinner with me tomorrow night?” Keira was taken by surprise at his question but was extremely happy.
“I’d love to.” She smiled sincerely and happily. Orlando’s face lit up.
Enjoyed it?
