Never let me go - cate blanchett x rooney mara

"hotel"

Cate pov:

She was such a fascinating woman, standing there before me. That might sound a little odd coming from me, but I was hypnotized by her. Her eyes, her hair, her sort of speaking although she was utterly shocked, surprised, nervous.

She was so cute, and was obviously not expecting to bump into me on the street, but I don't really know why, I was working on a movie with her and me as leading actors, so why wouldn't she expect to meet me?

I asked her if she would want some help to get to the hotel, she obviously thought that she wasn't a big deal and was asking me if I really want to go with her, but I truly wanted so she let me.

We were now walking along the street, silent, I guess she was still nervous so I tried to break the silence and make it less awkward.

" I was so happy when I heard that you are going to play therese."

dumb words cate, so unfortunate words. I made it sound like I was in love with her or something. Shit, I can express myself so well and now, in the most important moment of all it suddenly flew away.
But she just answered with:

" Oh really? Why? "

well now you got it cate. Because of your dumb choice of words you gotta find a way out of this mess.

"Yeah just, you know, after you presented me the award at the st. Barbara film festival you seemed so nice."

"It took this less to make you make a movie with me? Wow cate but that wasn't a good excuse at all, I was sent the script in 2011 already."

SHIT. Now how can I get out of this?

"Well, I guess you got me here... no I've been watching your movies and I liked you in it."

"Wow.... erh yes.. ehm that's- I don't know what to say."

I'm so glad I have the control over this conversation again. It was really intimidating to loose it.

" I think you are indeed very talented."

"huh, what? sorry."

She seemed to be in her thoughts again and she lost it. I already love making her nervous.

"Oh no it's fine don't apologize. So to which hotel are we going?"

"No one."

"What do you mean I thought you booked a hotel room?"

"Well, I did lie to you too... I indeed live here."

"Okey then where is your apartment?"

"Just around the corner we're almost here."

Rooney pov:

And that was the reason I didn't want cate to come with me... she would immediately know where I live, but who couldn't say no to cate, right?

I was so glad when we finally arrived at my apartment, I always felt so much more comfortable in my own space with my own things, where I could do what ever I want without overthinking what could happen and if I am doing something some persons don't like.

I could just be myself.

I unlocked the door and went in, throwing the keys on the little shelf right next the entrance.
I hoped cate likes the apartment and doesn't think I am weird, It was after all a very personal thing to go in someones appartement, wasn't it? Well for me it was very personal.
It is like visiting peoples minds, not that I did ever do something like this, but I was still a little worried she wouldn't like my home.

And I just looked at her. She was a little taller than me, only a few inches but I still had to look up.
And it happened - I lost myself in her eyes, her glowing, shimmering blue eyes, the eyes everyone would get lost in.
They were just so mesmerizing.
Deep, with all these different shades of blue, the little swirls looking like little fairies would've dance in them.

Only after cate raised her voice and said

"Your home is extraordinary cozy.",

I woke up from my trance, understanding that I've been staring at her for way too long, again. I would really have to get myself under control.

Rue_06103 motivated me to write so I don't get on her nerves while she writes her new chapter hahsjsjz

oh and one more thing, rooney doesn't have a partner in this so it's not that complicated for me to write with whom she is at these moments :)
