Never let me go - cate blanchett x rooney mara

tea

Rooney pov:

"I really like the style of this here."

Cate made a move with her hands to express the apparent.

"Ehm yes thank you."

I was still a little embarrassed from looking at her, but she was just so mesmerizing.
Everything about her was so beautiful, she looked like a goddess with her blonde hair and her eyes....
She wore a simple gray t-shirt, which let her curves combined with the black skinny jeans look devine. Over that she wore a black blazer and her hair was lightly curled, which made her cheekbones look absolutely perfect. And once again I lost myself in her beauty, I couldn't control it.
She just had to stand there, and I was completely in awe of her.

"Would you like something to drink? Maybe a tea or coffee? You can have whatever you want."

I managed to get out a normal sentence.

"Whatever I want? Well, that's that."

She obviously found it funny to make me flustered, because now I was blushing, and she was giggling at the sight of me.

" I think a cup of tea will be just fine."

"Yes, of course."

I rushed to my little kitchen, I liked it cozy and small, my own little space.
She slowly made her way through my living room to the open kitchen and looked around my apartment, whilst I was preparing tea.

"You don't have to treat me like a queen, you know?"

"Oh but you are-  I- I- I mean it's a pleasure for me."

Shit rooney, can't you please just act normal and not like a fool? I can do this, she's just a woman after all.
Well... certainly the most perfect and beautiful woman on this whole planet, but I tried to relax, so no more thinking about that.

" So if you don't live here, where do you stay at?"

I was still making the tea, walking around in the kitchen.
Cate was now opposites me behind the little kitchen isle, when she slowly leaned down and let her head rest on her right hand.

"Oh a little hotel a few blocks away from here. Are you trying to stalk me or what?"

Cate was obviously making a joke and I played along, well I at least tried.

"Of course, I will stand at your hotel and watch you sleep every night."

wow that really sounded creepy, like I'm a stalker.

"I'm glad to hear that, at least I know now and can be prepared."

I was slowly getting more confident the more we chatted, I sort of felt so comfortable with her.
We were now sitting on my couch, drinking the tea I just made.

"I always thought that your choices as an actor were so interesting, always choosing things or projects others maybe wouldn't pick."

"Oh eh thanks, but I didn't have that much of choosing really, I am after all not as talented, popular or amazing as you mrs. blanchett."

"I'm sure you are."

That comment made me blush and I tried to hide it with looking down and my cup and taking a few sips.
I felt cate looking at me, which didn't really help with my plan to recover from that blush.
A smile started to plaster on her face and her eyes lit up a little bit.
Cate looked so beautiful sitting there, so simple, yet so classy and I just wanted to be near her for the rest of my little life.

"Well I think I better get going now, it's getting late. But it was a pleasure meeting you really."

"Oh, yeah it was awesome meeting you I hope I'll be seeing you again soon."

WTF ROONEY?! You're literally working on a movie with her of course you'll see her again soon ugh.

A playful smirk made its way to cates face and I knew she would joke about me at least a little bit.

"Well, considering the fact that we're doing a 1950s patricia highsmith lesbian romance I am very sure we'll meet up again soon honey."

Wait, DID SHE JUST CALL ME HONEY?! Am I delusional or did I really hear her say honey towards me?
Oh god I think I am going to pass out.
I just stood there looking at her with a little open mouth, not realizing what just happened.
If you made a meme out of me you could've probably just written 'rooney.exe stopped working' I think that describes the situation very well.

Cate noticed my behavior and was also looking at me, not because she had a huge gay panic, no she was only enjoying the way she could made me feel.
