Emily lived in a normal neighbourhood with her brother Derek and her mother. She has a best-friend called Kate who she adores like a sister. As Emily spends her summer outdoors all the time she meets new people, one of them being Christian Bale. Som...
"Ughhhh." I say grabbing my phone and turning off my alarm. "Too early." I say as I get myself up, my eyes still closed and walk into the bathroom. "Jesus." I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Biggest eye bags known to man and hair that looks like a cat lady.
I walk into the shower and use my garnier shampoo and conditioner.

8:30am
"Okayyy okayyy" I say as I stand outside my hotel building craving a coffee. "Emily!" I hear someone shout. I look around and see no one. "Emily!" I hear again, I look over and see Kit. Thank god. I hope inside the car, "You called." He says. "Yeah can you take me to the best coffee shop you know, I'm craving it." I say. "Seriously?" He says. I look at him weirdly, "I'm then gonna start wondering around and asking people questions, duh." He nodded. "Hmm that's what I like to hear, it's about time Hollywood is exposed." "Damn right." I say back.

9:00am
Kit went to go home and said to call him when I need him again, I don't mind being alone, I'm an independent woman. I burst into the coffee shop, The man who works there looked at me and smiled, stunned at the fact I ran here. "What can I get you?" He asks. "Can I get a Cappuccino please and... hmmm I'll have a chocolate donut please, I'll treat myself haha." "Nothing wrong with a treat ma'am" he says. I look around the coffee shop and notice an old couple sat with each other, it makes me feel wholesome, I wonder what their story is. "That will be $8 please, ma'am" the man comes back over with my drink and donut. "Yes of course." I say taking out my phone to pay, "I'm sorry we're only doing cash at the moment." He says, Oh shit. "I don't have any cash, uhhh do you think I could transfer it somehow?" I ask. "Sorry ma'am I can't do that." He says. "I-" I was about to speak when a man's voice interrupted me. "I got it." He says from behind me.
It's Christian..
I look up at him and he don't notice me yet, but boy when he does.. he finally looks down at me and his eyes go wide, his mouth forms a smile.

"Emily?" He says. "Christian?" I say back covering my mouth. "Jesus Christ what has it been?" He says. "11 years." I say. "11 years.." he repeats, quietly as if he's in deep thought. "Well you look great." I say. He smiles at me, "Thank you, and so do you!" "Your only saying that." I joke. "No no I love the new look, very mature." He says grabbing the drink and donut from the man's hand and passing it to me. "Thanks for this, I'll pay you back." I say. "Don't worry about it, it's fine you don't need to pay me back." He shakes his head. I just smile at him, He's so much older now... obviously. He's got a beard now, long hair.. well he always had long hair. He dresses so smartly now and not in baggy clothes. "What are you doing here anyway? Last time I knew you was moving to New York." He asks me. "Yeah I still live there, I'm just revisiting for work" "For work?" He questions. "Yeah I'm making a news article about the truth of Hollywood." I whisper in his ear. "That's dangerous, Emily. Be careful." He says. "I'll be fine." I say. "Wanna sit down and talk? We've been standing up for quite a while." He laughs. "Yeah." I laugh. We both sit down on the seats next to the window. "So what you been doing all your life?" He asks me. "Hmmmm well I have a boyfriend now, we've been together for 7 years, hopefully marriage in the next move, my mums also got a husband now, bless her heart but keeps complaining about having a non existent sex life, I'm working for a news paper company and yeah that's what's going on in my life right now." I say.
I could see Christian face drop a little when I say we have been together for 7 years but he then laughed about what I said about my mum.
"You?" I ask.
He looks at the table, "Pffft, nothing." He laughs looking at me. "Cmon there must be something going on in your life." I say. "I left home, finally got out of that place after you left. I tried to help Kate out, but yeah.. I then chose to clean myself up, so I got a job at a warehouse, it's not a lot but it keeps me breathing." He says. He's been through so much. "Do you still write?" I ask. His face lights up, "You remembered I liked writing." "Of course I did." I smile. "Yeah I still write, I even do art now but nothing gets anywhere, your lucky you get to write articles. I'd kill for that job." I put my hands under my chin and smile, "I'm just that girl." I tease. He rolls his eyes, "Yeah yeah." "Where do you live now then?" I ask. "I live like 2 blocks away from here." He says. "Really? Is it nice?" I ask. "It's nicer, where are you staying?" He asks. "I'm staying at the hotel round down the street." "Hollywood hotel?" He asks. "Yeah that one." I say. "Your so close to me." He smiles. "Maybe we ought to catch up again sometime, for old time sake." I suggest. He smiled at me, "I think I'd like that." "Good, here's my number so you can call me whenever." I say. Christian puts the number in his phone and puts it back in his pocket. "So, what's your boyfriends name?" He asks. "His names Orlando, you'd really like him." I say. "Does he treat you right?" He asks. "Of course, he's so loyal to me, I don't deserve him." I laugh. Christian nods. "He won't get weird about the fact we're gonna be friends?" Christian asks. I think about it for a moment, I guess it is very weird and stabbing Orlando in his back. But me and Christian have known each other for ages and we're only catching up.. as friends. "Orlando will be fine, I just won't mention it, it's not like we're doing anything we need to hide." I laugh. "Yeah true." He says. "Any women in your life ?" I ask. "Angel, she's not my girlfriend or anything but we both keep each other company.. I guess like friends with benefits but we don't want anything else, we understand each other" he says. I laugh to myself, Christina looks at me confused, "What are you laughing?" He smiles. "Your still a player boy, you don't ever commit." Then there's a silence. "I did for you." He says. I start to feel anxious and uncomfortable, I just smile at him before taking a sip of my drink and looking out the window. Christian just smiles at me. "How's Kate? Is she okay?" I ask. Christians smile fades and he looks down, however shortly after looks back up with a smile. "Yeah Kate's great." "Do you still speak to her?" I ask. "Nah , she moved away." He says. "Where to?" I ask "England." He says with a sigh.
Just with that, Kit calls me, "Sorry one second." I say as I pull my phone out. "Hello?" "Emily, what time do you want picking up the clock is ticking." Kit says on loud speaker making Christian laugh, "Who's with you!? Have you been speaking to people?" Kit says excited. "No I saw my old friend so we're having a catch up." I laugh. I hear kit sigh, "well I'm outside the cafe I couldn't wait any longer." "Your outside now?" I question. "Yes." "Okay I'm coming." I end the phone and look at Christian, "You gotta go?" He asks, "Yessss" I say groaning and standing up. "I'll walk you to the car." He says putting his hand on my lower back.
"Hurry up!" Kit shouts from the car. "Who's that?" Christian asks. "That's my driver that I met yesterday." I say. "He seems really comfortable already." Christian says back. "Yeah he's definitely a character, I seem to attract weirdness." I slightly laughed. Me and Christian get to the car and Christian opens the door for me, he's such a gentleman now. I hop in the car and roll my window down, "I'll see you later." I say. "Yeah take care of yourself and be safe, tell me when you wanna meet up." He says. Kit looks at me and smiles. Christian then grabs my hand and kisses it,
Please don't.
No one has ever done that to me, I won't allow them to. Orlando has tried to but I turn him away and say I don't like it.
Christian then starts to walk off.
"Who. Is. That?" Kit says pulling his sunglasses down to look at Christian's ass. "My ex" I say. Kit looks at me, shocked. "Girl you dated a fine as man and aren't you already wifed up?" He says. "Yeah but it's not like that this time." I say. "Girl you keep telling yourself that, the way he was looking at you phew." He says as he drives off. "He was your first love wasn't he?" Kit says. "How'd you know that?" I ask. "I can just tell."
