Dating My Costars!

Chapter 4

He smiles. "Congratulations Erin. I knew you'd get it."

I laugh and say, "Really?"

"Yeah, you were amazing."

"Caitlyn's gonna freak out when she hears about this."

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

"Both. Do they usually make a big deal about who they've cast and announce it all over social media and stuff?"

"Sometimes. I bet they will for this because of how much we're getting paid."

"Yeah. And how much is that?"

"I don't know for sure, but just trust me that it's a lot."

I laugh.

He smiles and says, "What time do you have to be there tomorrow?"

"7 in the morning."

"Oh, I don't get there until 9. Mom probably wants to talk to you about everything and show you around before everyone gets there."

"Yeah."

"Well, I better let you get home and prepare for tomorrow. Bye."

He waves and walks to his car. Then, I drive to mine and Caitlyn's apartment. About fifteen minutes later, I arrive and walk inside. Caitlyn's watching the news and I read a headline that says, "New cast members chosen for The Way You Hurt Me! You'll be excited."

Caitlyn looks up and sees me standing at the door.

"Hey! They're about to announce the cast. Come sit."

I hesitate. "Caitlyn, there's something I need to tell you."

She stands up and walks over to me. "Just come sit down and watch this for a minute with me, then you can tell me. Please, E."

She grabs my hand and pulls me over to the couch to sit with her.

The reporter on the screen says, "The Way You Hurt Me reportedly casted it's actors. For the main lead is of course Ryder Spence and he's playing Colton. We have Brandon Daniels playing Davis. For the female lead, we have reports that a new actress has been cast. This actress has never been on any tv show or movie. All of America probably doesn't ever know her. She goes to college at UCLA and her name is Erin Addison."

Caitlyn looks over at me. "Erin, what is going on?"

"Um, so this morning the producer kinda called me and told me I got the part. I have to be at the studio tomorrow at 7."

She stares at me for a second and then smiles. "E, I'm so happy for you. Is this what you were trying to tell me a few minutes ago?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry Caitlyn."

"No it's fine."

I hear the reporter in the background, saying, "Apparently Ryder Spence was seen out with his co-star Erin this morning. They were enjoying a nice brunch date. They seemed very cozy. Could they be together? Is this the reason why Erin got cast? We'll find out tomorrow when we interview the cast live on LA Live News."

Caitlyn hits my arm. "Seriously Erin? Your date was with Ryder?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry."

"Wait, so are you guys dating? Because all that stuff you told me this morning. Wow."

"No no no we're not dating. I just couldn't tell you about the date because I thought you'd go crazy."

"I mean, I'd love to be in your shoes right now, but I could never be mad at you because of this. There's not a chance."
