"Come on, Lucas!" I groaned and took a sip of latte watching my manager as he types away on his phone at the busy cafe in LA.

People all around were on their phones or talking animatedly to one another. Some took selfies and way too many were taking pictures of their coffee. It was too early to be out. This city was always moving and in the morning, it was chaos. Especially at cafes.

"Sorry, I have to-" He trailed off as he texted away on his phone and then suddenly put it down and gave me the biggest grin, like what he was about to say was going to make everything matter.

Including getting up so early.

"So..." He trails off with a gleam in his eye and grasped his hands together to contain his excitement, his green eyes wider with every second.

I groan at him and he smirks.

"I got you your first acting role!" He almost yelled and suddenly realized his surroundings and lowered his voice but I couldn't move.

Did he really just-

"Yes!" He nodded eagerly and clasped his hands together and leaned forward like he knew what I was thinking. "You got a part in the next Martin Scorsese film." He whispered the directors name and my jaw dropped. "I know! I know! I know!" he showed his full perfectly shaped teeth in triumph.

I heard a ringing in my ears and opened my mouth and then closed it again like an idiot.

"What?" Was all I could muster out.

"All you have to do is go in and audition." He nodded to himself but he wasn't saying something.

I know it. I can feel when he is hiding something from me.

"Tell me!" I demanded with wide eyes and he looked sheepish for a moment and then smirked deeply.

"I think it's best for you to find out on your own." He grinned fully now and my stomach flipped and flopped down to my hips.

"What's the catch?" I asked letting out a heavy breath.

Control yourself. You got this. My stomach feels weird and knotted.

But it's freaking fucking Martin Scorsese! I feel the blood drain from my face and the small amount of panic bloomed into something bigger in my gut.

"Well," Lucas looked off into the cafe full of people and my patience snapped.

"Just spit it out!"

Why is he doing this to me? He knows I'm going to freak out.

"I am not supposed to say because it's not my place." He smirked softly trying to hide whatever it was he wasn't telling me.

"I can't believe you!" I grumbled and got up with my coffee in hand.

"Wait! Alright!" He pleaded and I took my seat again, his eyes scanned the room around us and those that were close by and leaned forward enough that I felt his coffee breath, eyes looking at me with mischief and glee but then it turned serious. "You can't repeat what I am about to tell you." He warns with glaring eyes that made him look more handsome.

I nodded that I understood and he nodded back and looked around him again. He turned to me and motioned for me to come closer. I glared but leaned in.

"You are going to be working with Chris Evans." He whispered and my eyes went wide again.
