The Fangirl Swirl

4 : Lucky fan

Reaching my home, I am welcomed by my worried mother asking me what took so much time. Little did she know that her daughter had the time of her life with an outstanding person. I tell her I got stuck somewhere and immediately rush towards my room, throwing myself on the comfy bed recalling each and every moment of today. Even though he's such a busy person, he helped me so generously and the touch of his hand felt so warm and gentle to the touch which sent sparks throughout my body.  His smile, his eyes, his voice, his laugh, his warmth, everything about him is like paradise.

I couldn't take all this happiness when suddenly the thought that I might never see him again made my smile drop in an instant. "Oh how I wish that moment never ended" saying to myself, I sigh and close my eyes and let the heaviness in them take me to the dreamless sleep.

Not even half an hour passed when my phone had a started ringing which woke me up. I groan and look at the caller ID which was an unknown number. I wonder who's calling coz there's only a few people that actually call me which mostly includes Grace. But she never calls at this time of the day. I stop my thoughts for a moment and pick up the call. An unfamiliar voice answers "Hello? Can I speak to Miss Stacy Dawson?" Recalling in my head who's voice it might be I reply "Yes, this is Stacy speaking." I hear the voice say again "Good evening Miss Dawson, this is Jimmy, Mr. Robert Downey Jr's manager and friend!" WHAT???? JIMMY RICH IS CALLING ME?? WHY??? Interrupting my own little questioning time with myself, Jimmy clears his throat to have my attention back "Umm yes. Hello Mr. Rich!" I reply. He started speaking again "Miss Dawson I've called to let you know that you've been chosen the one lucky fan that has won a special dinner date with Mr. Robert Downey Jr. and the date is tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. A car will be waiting for you at your door at sharp 7:30 p.m. and Mr. Downey will meet you at the dinner. We will be waiting for your benign presence." He stops talking and I swear I am speechless at this moment. My mind is running wild trying hard not to scream on the phone and scare the hell out of Jimmy. WAIT A MINUTE... "Ahem, Is this a prank or something? Coz if this is, its not at all funny" is all I manage to say, earning a chuckle from the other side. "No Miss Dawson, this is not a prank, I am very serious" says Jimmy. My heart is about to burst out of my ribcage. "YOU MEAN I AM GOING ON A DATE WITH THE ROBERT DOWNEY JR.??" I lost it and screamed. "Yes you heard it right ma'am! Indeed you are!" "Uhh I'm so sorry but I just...I just can't believe it....Thankyou so much Mr. Jimmy! Its such a pleasure for me that I can't express...Okay i'm talking too much now, Ain't I? Yes I am! I'm sorry! Thankyou so much once again!" He chuckles again "Its alright Miss Dawson. I'm used to it anyways. Okay so please be ready tomorrow, Robert doesn't like to wait. Have a nice day." With that he hung up the call. I am still bewildered about the fact that I'm going on a date with HIM. Oh my god, Am I living in an imaginary world or what?? The thoughts and excitement never left my mind and I finally fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning with a big grin on my face. I just can't believe all this is actually happening to me! Until the day before yesterday I was the most unlucky girl in the universe and now I feel so special. But like always, one thing is bugging me too much right now....Am I worth all this? What if I go there and embarass myself? What if he doesn't want to be seen with an ugly girl like me in public? What if he doesn't even show up? Should I really go?

With the millions of negative thoughts, I finally came to the conclusion that I should give it a chance and go. Its not like I'd get such a big opportunity everyday to have a dinner date with a superstar and that too my favourite one! But now was the worst part...what should I wear? I threw all the clothes out of my closet making a mess of my room. My mother knocks on the door and comes in. "What on earth are you doing Stacy Dawson? What's with all this mess?" I literally started crying making my mother even more confused than she was already. She immediately runs to me wrapping her arms around me "What happened sweetie? Tell me" Between sobs I tell her "Today is the first date of my life and its with the most famous person in the world - Mr. Downey and I don't have any idea what I should wear" more and more tears fell from my eyes. Mom carress my cheeks wiping the tears and kissing my forehead "Don't worry dear, I have something for you" she stands up and opens the drawer of my closet taking out a gorgeous black dress with crystal stone work on one shoulder and a little on the waist. My face immediately lit up as I remembered my mom once gifted it to me on my birthday but I never really got a chance to wear it but today is the perfect occassion for it. I hug my mom tightly and kiss her cheeks, "Thanks mom, you're the best". "You're welcome sweetheart! Now you go get dressed, its already 6:30 p.m. or else you wouldn't wanna be late" she winks and leaves my room closing the door behind her. Yes I told her all about the date in the morning and she was also excited for me.

I change into the beautiful dress which reached up till my knee. The dress perfectly hugged my curves and is a great contrast with my skin tone. I straighten my hair and let it fall freely on my shoulders. I apply my regular lip gloss and eye liner and added a black bracelet with stones on my wrist. Lastly, I put on my black heels, not too high coz well... I am not used to heels! Taking a last look at the mirror and I can say, I don't look that bad right now. I hear my mom calling my name and slowly making my way downstairs, I notice my mother surprised by my look. She smiles at me "Honey you look gorgeous". I cannot help but smile and hug her. "Thanks maa" . "The car is waiting for you darling, good luck". She kisses my forehead and I start making my way towards the car. I have no idea what the night holds for me but whatever it is, I'm ready for it....
