Such a flirt - Timothée Chalamet

2- irl

– Hi! I say to yet another person who's name I don't remember. Hi how are you?! I ask yet another time without actually caring. Hi it's been so long! I say to someone I've met once 2 years ago whose name I also don't remember.

I love my job, wouldn't trade it for the world, but some of these events make my head hurt. Most of these people are here for the free food, some are here for the party, others are here because they have to and the rest don't really know how they ended up here. I think I'd put myself in the "I'm here because I have to" category. My agency makes me do all these red carpets for the image, I honestly don't remember what tonight's event is about. I came with my boyfriend for emotional support but it's not like we've been doing okay lately. It was too late to cancel my plus one and all of my friends were busy. Plus, the more people see us together, the less they'll imagine things. Things that are sadly true but I don't really want people to break up my relationship before I do it. I'm still trying to see if everything will go back to "normal", to the way things were before. Before what, I don't even know... But I don't want to end things before I'm a hundred percent sure there's nothing to be saved. And for now, even though I want to scream and break things half of the time I'm with him, the other half is usually really nice. He brings me flowers sometimes, we watch a movie together and cuddle, we love to cook together, and those are good times. I want to see if those moments are enough to keep our love alive. So I pretend everything is fine, hoping they will be. I don't even know where he is right now, I lost him while I was greeting everyone.

– Alexandra? Alexandra Campbell? I hear behind me. I turn around to see who's calling for me and I'm surprised to see Timothée Chalamet smiling at me, with his perfect brown curls and a handsome outfit. It's you isn't?

– Um, yeah that's me, but I don't reckon we've met before and I don't have that bad of a memory... I laugh as I try to remember if we've talked together at another event.

– Oh no we've never actually met but I heard a lot about you, he leans on the counter next to him.

– Right, you're friends with Zendaya! Wait, she talks about me?

– Not exactly, Tom talks a lot about you.

– Of course! Tom! I'm so stupid, he actually mentioned you a couple of times! I forgot you two knew each other. Wow, so what does he say about me? I ask as I sit on a chair in front of the brown haired actor while he remains standing, his elbow still on the counter.

– Many, many things, sometimes it's hard to keep up with him, I understand you've been friends for a very long time.

– Yeah we have. He gets confused a lot doesn't he? He tells a story and then rambles on to another one and never finishes what he was saying?

– Yeah pretty much.

– So you have bribes of my life then, I laugh, does he only tell embarrassing ones or do I still have some pride left?

– Honestly, I never heard anything bad about you or awkward or anything, he's really proud of you so it's mostly him praising you and saying how you've come so far and how you would always prepare mini concerts when you guys were little.

– Anw, we both smile, that's not too bad. I really love him. I sigh. Gosh I haven't seen him in so long...

– He's filming right? You'll see him soon enough don't worry.

– Yeah he is, and I was on tour so it was complicated.

– Is your boyfriend here? He looks around trying to find Thomas.
