Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

2. First encounter (Edited)

I slowly opened my eyes, blinking a few times trying to recall what happened as I feel like I just woke up in an unknown state. I sat up straight, rubbing a hand over my face feeling confused.

"What the..?" I said in a brittle voice.

I sat there for a few seconds until it finally hit me.

"FUCK!!" I yelled while jumping up. I fell asleep when I was relaxing. I looked up at the clock.

"Shit! This can't be happening." I said through gritted teeth, frustrated by myself. It was already 7:41 a.m. and it takes about twenty minutes to get to work by foot. I never take the cab even though it's faster, it still takes a longer time to get there because of the L.A. morning traffic.

I ran into my room, grabbing my bag and putting my phone in it. I grabbed my keys on the coffee table and ran out of my front door, locking it quickly behind me. I ran down four flights of straights until I was outside on the street and started to run as fast as I could, with my 4 ¾" heels, towards my work.

People were looking strangely at me as I passed them. They probably think I must have stolen something and that I was trying to get away, or that I'm just a crazy person. I didn't care. I had to make it to work on time. Especially today since there will be a very important audition taking place that I need to attend. I can't risk losing my job.

I ran up to the building, entering the front hall and lobby and ran up to the reception desk.

"H- Hey Lizzy..." I said, trying to catch my breath.

She looked up at me. "Emilia! What happened to you!? You look like you just ran a marathon or something?" She said while eyeing my run-down state.

"W-well I kind of did. I kind of overslept and had to run my way down here. Can you look up in what room Mr. Richards will be holding the auditions today?" I said in deep breaths.

"Right away! Room 106 on floor 3. If you hurry up you'll make it right on time." She said hurriedly.

I started running towards the elevator, but quickly turned around to face Lizzy.

"Thank you Lizzy!" I yelled at her.

"Just go!" She yelled back, smiling.

I checked my phone while standing in the elevator to look at the time.

7:57 a.m.

I sighed. I wasn't sure if I'm incredibly lucky or unlucky.

The elevator doors opened and I walked up fast towards room 106. I stood in front of the door for a couple of seconds trying to calm down and fixing myself up a little. I reached for the door knob only to find out it was still locked.

I sighed with relief. "Good, they haven't arrived yet."

Then I heard the elevator doors open behind me and turned around. Mr. Richards appeared from the elevator with three other people following behind him.

"Emilia!" Mr. Richards said smiling warmly at me. "There's my favorite assistant. Always bright and early."

I giggled to myself. If only he knew how my morning went.

"Good morning Mr. Richards, how are you today?" I asked politely.

He stopped in front of me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm doing marvelous!"

I stepped to the side so he could open the door. He entered the room and so did the people who were walking behind him but one stopped in front of me, taking my hand and shaking it.

"Good morning Mrs. Carter." I smiled.

"Good morning Emilia, how have you been? It's been a while." She smiled warmly at me and I smiled back. Even though I'm Mr. Adams' assistant, I work for Mrs. Carter too from time to time.

"I'm doing fine. How about yourself?"

"Great, thank you."

She then entered the room and I walked in behind her closing the door behind me. I walked up to the bar at the side of the room, in front of the wall-to-wall window. This is where I'll be standing most of the day making everyone their drinks and observing the auditions while laughing my ass off on the inside as there are always a few people without any talent or screwed up their audition horribly.

I'm so mean.

"Well, Robert is late as usual." A man, who I presume is the director if this movie in first stage, said.

"Fashionably late is how he calls it." Mr. Richards said while chuckling. They all started laughing.

"Oh no... Emilia?" Mrs. Carter said looking over at me.

"Yes Mrs. Carter?"

"I forgot my papers on my desk in my office. Would you be so kind and fetch them for me?"

"Sure, no problem." I reassured her.

I walked over to her and she handed me her keys. I walked towards the door and opened it, stepping one foot outside until I hit something hard with my head. I stumbled back. I was about to lose my balance until I felt two warm, strong hands grabbing my arms and steadying me.

"I'm so sor-" I said while looking up at the person I just ran into but suddenly fell into a loss for words when I saw who was looking down on me. I looked up at him with my mouth and my eyes wide open.

"I'm sorry, are you ok?" He said with a deep voice, still holding my arms.

My gosh even his voice is sexy. I thought to myself. I quickly snapped out of my glaring, mentally slapping my face.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you Mr. Downey. I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I smiled a crooked smile, still overwhelmed by what happened.

I just ran into Robert Downeys' chest! Robert Downey, the world famous actor! Ok, just calm down! He's just another human being just like me. A very sexy and talented human being. Snap out of it Emilia! You know these famous celebrities are always self-centered.

"That's ok...?"

"Emilia." I finished for him, trying to regain a steady posture, showing him that I'm not affected by his presence.

He smiled his gorgeous million dollar smile. "Emilia." He spoke out my name rather slowly, letting it roll off his lips.

I completely forgot what I was about to do. I just stood there, he was still holding me, staring at each other for what seemed to be minutes but in reality only a couple seconds. I quickly snapped out of it and stepped out of his way, not looking up at him and letting him enter the room. I walked out of the doorway and closed the door behind me. I stood still for a moment, face palming myself.

"I'm such an idiot."
