Finding Love

Rosalie

"Why am I a bitch to those who only want to help me?" 

It has been a long morning. We were missing a few things but its our first day so things can be fixed. I finished setting up the tent around 10:30am and took a break to check on the camera crew. 

Steve was in charge of getting our footage and I went to see what we got so far.

"Hey guys. How's filming going?" I asked 

"We're good Ms. Wright" one of the men said to me. I nodded happy to hear things were running smoothly. Looking back at the field my eyes stayed on Mateo. Throughout practice I couldn't help but focus on him. He was a good player like Sophia said i, it was nice to watch the team play and have fun. He looked happy and I could tell he loved the sport. 

Their practiced ended and I started telling the camera crew to get ready for the interviews. The day was moving fast and I was ready to head home. I caught Mateo looking at me as he drank his water from the benches. I told Steve I would be right back and took small steps towards him

He looked good in the sunlight and I told him about the interview. He answered me kindly and walked to the locker room. My heart was racing again, being in his presence makes me nervous and I hate it. 

I pulled my phone out from my pocket and dialed Sophia's number. 

"Hello?" she answered on the first ring

"Hey, just calling to chat since I have some free time" I said walking back to the tent

"Ouuuu, you need to tell me all the details about the team" she whined through the phone. I laughed at her as I took a seat in my chair

"Rose don't laugh. You get to hang out with my favorite soccer team! This is a serious moment" she scolded me. 

"Serious to who? I am just doing my job" I joked. I pulled my laptop out my bag to check my emails and see if Mr. Costa saw my changes. 

I read through the papers he sent us and had a few modifications to the script. I mean he told me I would have full creative direction yet sends me a list of things to do... 

"Anyways have you seen Mateo" she asked me. I wondered how I wanted to answer that because I haven't told Sophia everything that has happened between us.

"Yes, we spoke a few times but only because he had to translate for us" I told her to make it seem like we had nothing on

Scrolling through my emails I saw a message from Mr. Costa

Rosalie your recommendations are cute but please refer to everything I sent and stay on schedule.

Best, 

Mr. Costa

Did this man say my ideas were "cute"? I slammed my computer, anger from his response. 

"Rose are you still there?" I heard Soph ask me as I put my computer up

"Yea, i'll call you back. The interviews are about to start" I told her and hung up

I leaned back in my chair and let out a frustrated breath. How could he dismiss me like that? I am one of his best writers and he treats me like a child. I was so irritated I didn't notice Mateo walk in until he tapped my shoulder. 

"Oh, Mateo you're early" I said sitting up and making eye contact with him

"Yea... I came to see if you needed any help" he said while holding his neck with one hand

The thought was nice but I didn't need any help. I picked up my phone looking at the time. 

Mateo opened his mouth again and said  "No offense but you're a terrible lair sweetheart" moving around the tent he stood in front of me.
