Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

5. I must be dreaming - part 2

"This can't be happening.." I heard Mr Richards say.

The last 2 girls had finished their audition and by the look in de directors' face, I could tell that he was anything but pleased.

"This was a total waste of time." Another man said.

"No kidding Rick." Ms Carter said.

"Ugh... what am I going to do now?! Yeah.. I know that we'll be second testing some of those girls but honestly, I don't think that any of them were good enough for my taste." Mr Richards spoke up.

They all sighed and I started cleaning up the bar when I noticed that Robert was looking at me with a serious face. I raised my eyebrow at him questionably.

"What about Emilia?!" He then said quite enthusiastically.

My eyes almost popped out of my head and I chocked on my saliva, coughing uncontrollably trying to speak.

"Y-you c-an't be ser-serious?!!" Was all I was able to get out until Robert came up to me and started patting my back but I took a step backwards. What was he thinking?!

"That's a good one Robert." Mr Richards said with a smirk.

"I'm serious Adam! C'mon.. it's not like we have anything to lose here and who knows, maybe she has this secret talent." Robert said and I was quite shocked about his erious tone about all this. He can't really be serious about this?

"I- I'm sorry Mr Downey for what I'm about to say but how did that ridiculous thought even cross your mind?! What makes you think that I would want to take a part in all of this?" I said looking him straight in the eyes furrowing my eyebrows and giving him a death stare.

Right now I really didn't care that he was a big time celebrity. I was kind of angry at him for suggesting such a thing but he just smiled warmly back at me.

"You heard her Robert. Emilia clearly has no interest in auditioning." Ms Carter said.

"Thank you." I sighed in relief.

"To bad though, I would've loved watching her, even though she might not be good at acting." She said giggling.

"Wha-..?"

"You sure you don't want to try it Emilia? Like Robert said, it's not like we have anything to lose and you might be the one we are looking for!" Mr Richards said hopefully.

I calmed down a bit.

"I'm sorry but even if I wanted to, I don't have any experience in acting so I highly doubt that I'll be any good and I'm not even prepared for all this!" I said a bit too panicking than I intended.

"Don't tell me you don't remember the lines after listening to them all day long?" Robert asked.

He got me there! I did remember all the lines because I caught myself lip syncing with another girl earlier.

"Well.. I do but that would be it! I don't have a monologue or a song."

"I'm sure we can skip the monologue.." Mr Richards said "but there must be one jazz song you know? Or are you not really into music?"

"N-no, I love music and I can play a little.. uuhmm.. well.. there is one jazz song I know actua-. No, never mind that! I really think I would be wasting your time."

"What's the song?" Robert asked demandingly.

"It's nothing!"

"C'mon Emilia dear, what do you have to lose?"

Dear?

"It's too embarrassing.." I said almost whispering.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." He said in a soft, calm and reassuring voice.
