I woke up this morning and grabbed my phone to look at the time, 9:12 AM. It's been a while since I've slept this long. I stretched out in bed yawning and thinking I had the weirdest dream last night. I got out of bed feeling very drowsy and confused.
"I need coffee..." I said in a zombie voice with my eyes half open.
I grabbed my mug from under my coffee machine when I heard my phone ringing in my room. I ran into my room to answer but I had just missed the call when I grabbed it. I checked the caller ID.
"Lizzy?" Why did she call me? She never calls on my day off. Even though I liked her, we only went out for lunch a couple times during our break but we never spoke outside of work hours.
Right when I was about to call her back her name appeared on my screen again and I answered.
"Hey Lizzy, what's up?"
"OHMYGODEMILIA!!MSCARTERJUSTTOLDMEEVERYTHINGTHATHAPPENDYESTERDAY!!THAT'SSOCOOL!!" she yelled and I held the phone away from my ear. How can she be this hyper in the morning?
"Haha, I'm sorry Lizzy, I didn't understand a word what you just .. well, yelled."
"I'm sorry. Ms Carter walked up to me not to long ago telling me everything what had happened yesterday during auditions! I thought it was so hilarious and awesome at the same time. I just called to congratulate you! Sooo... CONGRATULATIONS!!"
"Lizzy what are you talki-" I stopped and my jaw was almost touching the ground. "Holy shit... Lizzy, I thought that I dreamt that tonight!!"
She started laughing really loud.
"I can't believe you Emi. How could you possible think that that was all a dream?!"
"Well because it seemed so unrealistic and I haven't had time to process it last night. I just went straight to bed when I got home and it's not like I got the part or anything! They just wrote my name down for second testing so it's really not that big of a deal."
"You're an idiot Emi but I like you." She giggled. "Anyway, I have to go back to work. Enjoy your day off and I'll see you tomorrow!"
"Thanks Liz, Bye!"
I set my phone down on the table and started playing everything that happened yesterday in my mind on repeat. Trying to confirm and accept what happened.
"Ok, so first I bumped into Robert Downey Jrs' chest,
All the auditions sucked,
Robert suggested out of nowhere that I should audition,
I sang a duet with him,
I finished my audition and then... then he said that he wanted me? "
He acted like it was no big deal to say something like that.
"Then Mr Richards told me that he'd like me to take part in the second testing."
Afterwards we all went back home and I was exhausted so I instantly fell asleep when I crashed down on my bed.
I was putting on my clothes when I heard knocking on my front door. I was in shock. I never ever have a visitor so I was very suspicious at who might be standing at my door. I grabbed my baseball bat putting it on my shoulder. I didn't trust this, it must be some scary dude wanting to rape me or something. I slowly walked over to my front door. I heard knocking again. I slowly turned down the handle and swung the door open, grabbing my bat with both my hands and yelled "Wrong address honey!!"
I saw a man putting up his hands in his defense covering his face while he stepped backwards.
"Woohh woohh!! Calm down! I'm not going to hurt you!" He yelled and lowered his hands to his side.
I completely froze in shock when I saw his face, lowering my bat, dropping it on the floor.
"MR DOWNEY?!?! What on earth-?! What are you doing here!? How did you even know where I live?!"
"Do you always greet your guests like this? That wasn't exactly a warm welcome." He said stepping closer and chuckled.
"I-I'm sorry, I just never have guests so I thought that you were going to rape me or somethi-... WAIT?! Why am I apologizing?! You are the one who just knocked on my door unannounced. How did you even find me? Are you stalking me or something?" I said grabbing my bat at my feet but I couldn't help but smile when I accused him for being a stalker."
"When I got home last night I googled you to find out where you lived. I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd stop by and say hello." He said and a smirk appeared on his face.
"You googled me?! Are you crazy or something?!" I said while taking a step back.
He just started laughing out of nowhere grabbed his stomach.
"I'm kidding! Your address was on one of the papers you had to fill in yesterday after your audition and then I realized that I had left without congratulating you or saying goodbye. So now I'm here to make up for that and for practically forcing you to audition even though you didn't wanted to." He said and winked at me.
"Oh! I see. Uhm.. thank you! But you really didn't have to drive all the way down here for that. You could have just called me or something. I'm guessing my phone number must have been on one of those papers too. You're really lucky I didn't hit you with my bat. I have a hell of a swing you know!" I said jokingly.
"It's no trouble at all. I was uhmm.. actually.." I couldn't help but notice that he was really nervous all of a sudden. He sighed for a second before finishing what he was about to say. "I was wondering if you'd like to have lunch with me?" He asked shyly.
"What? Why?"
"Well I thought that since we will be working together, we should try to get to know each other first and I really want to make it up to you for making you audition yesterday."
"But I still have to do the second test so there's no guarantee that we'll be working together yet?"
He looked me straight in the eyes with a confident smile. "I'm sure you'll past the test with flying colors."
Damn he can be so sweet. How can I possibly say no to that? How can I possible say no to someone so handsome?
I sighed. "Ok fine, I'll have lunch with you but I'm warning you Mr Downey. This is the second time that you've taken me by surprise! I won't let you get off the hook so easily next time." I winked at him.
He smiled deviously at me. I raised my eyebrow questionably. He then took a step closer to me. I could smell his cologne again. God he smelled amazing! He looked down at me and I looked up. I stood there frozen.
"Maybe I wouldn't mind you punishing me... honey." He said with a low, seductive voice."
I jumped back with my eyes wide open. I was blushing like I had never blushed before. I felt my heart beating in my chest and my knees were shaking a little. I breathed in and out real quick trying to get my mind straight again. If I didn't, I'd probably jump him or something.
What is he doing to me?!
I tried to stand up confident again and looked him in the eyes. "Honey?" I asked.
"You called me that first remember? When you were about to attack me." He chuckled.
Damn he's right but I didn't mean it that way.
I shrugged it off. "Whatever." I said turning my back at him. "Make yourself at home. I'm gonna get ready." I said walking into my bedroom.
'This should be interesting.'
