My iconic ochre beanie sat on my blonde hair.
the cold made my gloveless hands numb
the streets of New York still busy with tourists and people on their way to work
~~~
papers of my latest script clung in my hands as I stepped into the coffee shop the warm hit my face and spread throughout my body.
"Hey Ellie the usual?" asked Georgia the barista that serves me on a daily basis on my way to way to work
"Yes that'd be great thank you"
"Is that a new script you have?"
"Yepppp"
"You really have to stop writing so many and give up they're going to fire you, you know?" she mused with her back to me making my coffee
I work at a publishers and I thought that'd be way into the movie industry if I propose my work to my boss
"But what if one I have some amazing idea for a movie and i get talent spotted?" she turned round and handed me my coffee
"Okay okay what's this one about then?" she questioned as she leant across the counter
"Well- "
"-Can I have a lattè to go please?" a British voice came from next to me
"Yes of course sorry" Georgia rushed
i look to my left to see the person behind the voice
my eyes widen at the sight of who it was.
There stood Thomas Sangster my first crush when I was 6 years old. this was when I was watching Nanny McPhee and ogled over Simon.
I gave him a small smile to which he returned
"I really must go Georgia, Bella will get mad" i stuttered out too scared make any sort of conversation with Thomas
"Alright, have a good day !! That movie script better make you famous and not unemployed" she laughed at my determination
"Don't worry it will, I'll call you when I'm famous" I laughed and turned around to leave
"Bye!"
I made eye contact with Thomas and looked at the ground as I was about to leave but bumped into him in the process making myself drop my script on the floor
"I'm so sorry I really am forgive me" I rushed out as we both bent down to pick up the fallen script, to which he beat me to
"it's fine don't worry about it" he countered smiling at me then looking at the script in his hand
"The Maze Runner" he read out "sounds interesting"
"Yeah it's mediocre, it's not that good" the words scrambling out my mouth as he flicked through it
"You're talented" he complimented handing the booklet back to me
"Thank you, i really must go I'm going to be really late" I checked my watched
"Okay but tell your boss I think you have a great idea there" pointing at the script in my hand
"I will, thank you thomas" I blushed
"no problem...."
"ellie"
"see you around ellie"
"you too"
~~~
"Please Bella just read through it" i pleaded with my boss
"Ellie you need to stop"
"Please do it you won't regret it, Thomas Sangster seemed to like it"
"Thomas Sangster?" She raised an eyebrow at me
"Yep"
"Are you sure? are you ill?"
"Yes I'm very sure ma'am, he said that it sounded interesting and said I had talent"
"You may have talent ellie but none of our contacts would ever take a second look at something like this" she flicked through just like Thomas a few hours before
"Please just look at it in more detail and if you like it put it through to one of your contacts if not then give it back" i begged
"Fine don't make me regret this" she sighed
"thank you thank you, trust me you won't regret it"
~~~
The wind whipped at my hair as sat on my blanket covered chair on the balcony a hot mug of tea in my hand
I thought about Thomas and the small smiles he gave to me and how he was my first crush and how he's in my favourite film "Nowhere boy" to the fact that I actually met him and he complimented my work.
