Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

Chapter 66

Jen's POV

"What's the deal with your apartment? Why didn't we just stay there?" Katie asks me from the hotel bathroom as she washes her face.

"It's getting re-painted," I tell her.

"When's it done?" She asks me.

"I think in about two days," I explain and she nods.

The conversation disappears for a few seconds until she restarts it again with a new topic.

"Did that guy ever get back to Frances about the editing course?" She walks into the room and sits down on the end of the bed.

"Not yet. I think he'll probably call about it by tomorrow," I inform her. No more is said and I pick up my phone from the nightstand checking it for any notification which it constantly seems to have.

My phone suddenly starts to ring in my hand and Frances' name resides in the caller ID.

I smack Katie's arm with excitement as she sits on the bed beside me.

"What? Fucking hell what are you bionic? That hurt," She whines at me.

"Look," I exclaim and push the phone towards her.

"Answer it you idiot," She tells me.

"Okay okay," I crack my neck from side to side ready to take the phone call.

"Answer it answer it," She repeats frantically and tries to slide right to accept the call. In response I slap her hand away making her whine again.

"Get over it," I snigger at her as I accept the call.

"Hello?" I ask down the line.

Katie's POV

"What's he saying?" I ask Jen as she speaks to Frances.

She waves me off in an attempt to silence me so I make myself go and sit down in the next room.

I don't know what the fuck this guy has decided. Am I in? Am I out? I think I'm good enough... I hope. Please let me in for fuck sake. I sit forward on the couch fiddling with my fingers anxiously.

My mind wanders for a further five minutes until Jen comes in and stands in the doorway with a huge smile spread across her face.

"I take it that it's bad news then," I sigh sarcastically and fight as hard as possible to hang onto my pending smile.

"Yeah it's really bad news," She grins.

"I knew it," I sigh back and look down continuing to fiddle with my fingers.

Jen's arms wrap around me from my side and she hugs me tightly, very nearly squeezing the life out of me.

"It starts in two weeks and Frances even got you private tutoring sessions with the lecturer," She mumbles into me.

In response I turn my body in her direction and hug her as strongly as I can.

True happiness of what's just happened washes over me and my actions over take me.

I scoop Jen up and she laughs at me. I am extremely careful however.

"Why the fuck are you so strong??" She giggles with her arms around my neck.

"It will remain a mystery," I smile into her shoulder that rests against my chin.
