Meant to be in the 90's ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

~Chapter 9~

The next morning I woke up to the sunlight glistening through my window. I looked to the end of my bed in search of Copper, but he was not there. It was then when the previous night came flooding back to me, auditions, Leo, dinner, 20 questions. It was so eventful yet one of the greatest times of my life. Missing my dog I headed next door to retrieve him.

I knocked a few times on Linda's door before I heard her footsteps followed by Copper's. She opened the door carefully. She smiled once she saw me.

"Isabelle! Come in! You have so much to tell me!" She grabbed my sleeve and yanked me into her apartment. Since Copper was jumping on me out of pure excitement due to my return I knelt down and gave him a belly rub before heading over to the chair which Linda had gestured for me to sit in. When I took my seat in the fuzzy chair she looked at me for a moment then spoke.

"I need every single detail! How did the auditions go? Why were you home so late? Did you see Romeo?" She screamed at me, I could tell she had been waiting all night for the story.

"Yes, I saw Leo. We actually practiced our lines together before our set audition time. But while we were practicing, apparently James Cameron, the director, had been watching us and he said we did amazing and we were just what he was looking for. To sum up, he pretty much said that we secured the parts but he would keep us posted." I summarized.

"That is great, Isa! But, that doesn't explain why you got home so late. Wouldn't you have got home earlier? What were you up to, movie star?"

"Well, after that Leo offered to take me to dinner to celebrate. I agreed, so he took us to this quaint Italian restaurant. It was beautiful and owned by the sweetest old Italian couple ever! We played twenty questions, so he learned all about me. And, Oh! Before I forget... he invited us to hang out with him and Tobey Maguire, his best friend, on Saturday. Do you want to come?"

"Hell yeah! He invited you back! And me! That is so exciting!" She squealed, being so excited about the moment. "Your night sounded perfect! All Copper and I did was walk, eat, and watch Leo's Romeo and Juliet on repeat."

"That sounds like a fun night! Did you have fun Copper?" I asked while scratching him behind his ear causing his tail to shake like crazy. "How do you feel about watching it again?"

"Another chance to see Leo's face! Is it even a question?" She hopped up and got the VHS working then the movie started. It was weird seeing Leo on the screen after just talking with him and eating dinner last night. I also had to face the reality that in a year that would be both of us on the screen.

The rest of the week flew by and before I knew it it was the weekend! I was walking around my apartment when I glanced at my wall and happened to read my calendar. Saturday! Leo! Oh my god how could I forget? It was all I had been able to focus on for the past few days. I wondered how much time I had? I fumbled around my room for my clock. 9:45! I have fifteen minutes! Luckily I was already dressed so all I needed to do was put my hair up in a messy bun and throw on some light makeup.

I rushed to the bathroom and tossed my hair up, sealing it with a purple scrunchie. After I put on some very natural makeup just to freshen up. I then grabbed my purse and stuck my script in it just in case before petting Copper goodbye and heading to Linda's. A few days prior I found a neighbor in my building who would come and watch Copper for me. It made me feel better about leaving him.

I knocked on her door not expecting her to open it immediately. "I've been waiting! Let's go down and meet Leo!" This girl was way too excited. It is just Leonardo DiCaprio. What the hell am I saying? There is no just Leonardo DiCaprio. We made our way downstairs joy overcoming all other emotions. When my eyes met a sea of blue my smile couldn't help but grow.
