I had a really hard time trying to keep a focused mind. I personally thought that everyone who had auditioned so far.. well.. pretty much sucked.

It was already 4:30 PM. At 1 I was ordered to call the pizza delivery because we were all pretty hungry. Then the auditions continued and I could see Mr Richards, Robert and everyone else becoming quite frustrated. They hadn't found anyone to their liking yet. They did write down a few names that they were going to contact for second testing but I could see that they weren't really pleased with any of them. I would be frustrated too if I were in their position.

I looked over at Robert as he was rubbing his face with one hand and then taking a sip of his 4th mug of coffee I had made him today.

They started talking to each other when the girl who was auditioning left, about that they were losing hope and that they were tired and stuff. I got up to get the next girl but Mr Richards told me to hang on for a moment. They desperately needed a break, even though there were only 2 girls left to audition.

He told us to be back in 15 minutes. I let the 2 girls know about our break and headed downstairs to get some fresh air.

I stood outside breathing in some air and enjoying the breeze through my hair when suddenly I heard Roberts' voice behind me and I quickly turned around facing him, a bit shocked.

"So what do you think about the auditions so far?" I looked up into his eyes. They were a beautiful brown and I could see a bit caramel/golden sparkles in them. Gorgeous!

"To be honest Mr Downey, I didn't really enjoy any of them." I said hesitantly.

He sighed with what seemed to be in relief. "Thank God, I'm not the only one who thought that."

I chuckled and then I realized that we hadn't broken eye contact this whole time. That's when I looked down to the ground.

I'm such a pussy.

"You know what?" He said. "You explaining everything this morning was without a doubt the most interesting part of the day."

I looked up at him a bit shocked by his statement. He thought that I was interesting?!

I giggled: "Thank you. If I had known that the auditions would be turning out like this, I probably would have sent them all back home."

He started laughing, still looking me in the eyes. I just smiled back at him, happy that he took my sarcasm the right way.

"Well that would have saved us some precious time indeed." He said while taking a step closer to me.

Why did he do that? I mean, we could understand each other just fine from the distance we were standing on.

A breeze came along and I could smell his cologne. God he smelled amazing! I didn't even realize that I had closed my eyes while smelling his scent but when I opened them he was another step closer to me, still looking me straight in my eyes.

I can't say that I didn't like that he was standing so close to me but I just didn't understand what he was doing so I just took a step back and said that we should probably head back inside.

Suddenly I felt the urge to step back forward again. So I could feel his body heat and enjoy the way he smelled but I had to stay professional here. I wouldn't want him to think of me like another crazy fan girl or something.

"Lead the way Emilia." He said smirking.

I suddenly shivered when he spoke out my name. It sounded really nice.
