Adopted by Scarlett Johansson

09.

Sleepily, Clara opened her eyes and she looked at the alarm clock. It was six o'clock in the morning. She sighed. Because of jet lag, her body had completely lost it. She got out of bed and her feet hit the cold ground. She shivered. It was super cold in the house.

Clara walked over to the light switch and she turned on the light. She still couldn't believe she lived here. Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost had adopted her. They! Clara, a simple girl from London who everyone walked past with a big bow.

Clara opened her bedroom door. She needed to go to the toilet very badly. In the hallway she ran into Scarlett. 'Hey good morning, were you awake yet?' Asked Scarlett, 'Yes, I can't sleep anymore. I was just about to go to the bathroom.' Said Clara. 'I've also been awake for a while due to massive jet lag. Shall I go and make breakfast in a minute?' Inquiringly, Scarlett looked at Clara. 'Yes nice.' Replied Clara.

'Great! Then I'll see you downstairs in a minute.' Scarlett walked downstairs in advance. Today Rose finally came home. After not seeing her for over three weeks due to work, Scarlett could finally hold her in her arms again. She couldn't wait to see Rose again. She was so curious about her opinion of Clara and her stories about school.

She had called Rose just last night and told her about Clara. Over the phone, the girl sounded very enthusiastic. Scarlett hoped that Rose also responded with such enthusiasm in real life. She noticed that Clara was very excited about it and she hoped that Clara found out that there was no need for anything.

"Good morning. Clara walked into the kitchen. 'Good morning again dear. Did you manage to sleep at all?' Asked Scarlett, 'Not really but the bed is lovely.' Answered Clara. 'Thank goodness. At least we know it's not the bed.' Scarlett chuckled, 'I think it's just because of the jet lag and the excitement.' Said Clara.

'Excitement? Scarlett frowned. Clara nodded. 'I'm just afraid of disappointing you. I'm not a child who grew up with love or parents. I'm not used to people making an effort for me, buying me things, asking if I slept well. I've never felt like I'm allowed to be there as I am but you and Colin give me that feeling and it's scary. I'm afraid I'll only disappoint you.' Explained Clara.

'Ah Clara anyway.' Scarlett walked up to her. 'Can I give you a hug?' She asked. Clara nodded and Scarlett put her arms around Clara. 'You don't disappoint me.' Said Scarlett, "Really? Asked Clara. Scarlett let go of her and she shook her head.

'I'm just a human being too and have absolutely no expectations of you. We do everything at your pace. For me it's also a new and exciting thing but I have confidence in it. Do you know why? Questioningly, she looked at Clara. Clara shook her head. 'Because the moment I saw you I felt a connection between us. You need me and I need you.'

Clara hugged Scarlett, 'Thank you. You're even better in real life than you are on YouTube.' Scarlett shot up in laughter. 'Is that so? She asked, laughing. Clara nodded. 'Thank goodness for that. It would be more annoying if you thought I was more stupid in real life.' Said Scarlett. Clara chuckled.

'Would you like a drink? Asked Scarlett, 'Yes, water please.' Replied Clara politely. Scarlett picked up a glass and she filled it with water. 'Please.' She handed the glass to Clara. 'Thank you.' Clara immediately took a sip. 'By the way, I had one more question.' Scarlett began. Curious, Clara looked at her. 'And that is?'

'You don't have many clothes at all and I'd love to order some clothes together this afternoon.' Said Scarlett, "For me? Asked Clara. Scarlett nodded. 'I love online shopping and besides, Rose needs new clothes. She's getting so big.'

'What time is Rose coming?' Asked Clara. 'At eleven o'clock.' Said Scarlett. Clara looked at the clock. It was only six thirty in the morning. 'That will be a while.' Replied Clara. 'We can also look for clothes now if you want.' Said Scarlett, "Really? Asked Clara in surprise. 'Yes of course! I'll just go and get my laptop then we can go and look afterwards.' Scarlett walked out of the kitchen and Clara was left alone with her glass of drink.

After a few minutes Scarlett walked back into the kitchen. 'I'm here again! Scarlett put the laptop on the table and she sat down next to Clara. She typed in some clothing sites on the Internet. 'What kind of clothes do you like? Scarlett asked. Clara shrugged her shoulders. 'I don't really have a clothing style. I always got second hand clothes that someone else didn't want anymore.' Said Clara. 'Oh okay, but do you have anything you like?'

Clara thought for a moment. 'I've always wanted a blouse.' Said Clara. 'Then let's go look there.' With a smile on her face, Scarlett typed in the word blouse and immediately all kinds of blouses came into view. 'Do you see anything nice among them?' Scarlett asked, "That one does look nice! Clara pointed to a blouse and Scarlett clicked on it. 'It does look nice! Should I order that one? Asked Scarlett. Clara nodded. 'I really like that one!'
