"Fuck the red carpet." You tell your friend on the phone. Being an actress is a pain in the ass sometimes, and man, those lights...you hate the lights. Yeah, of course, you like making films, it's your passion, but those blinding lights from the paparazzi and the media makes you want to turn you life upside down.
"What do you mean 'fuck the red carpet?' You're nominated for an Oscar!"
"I hate camera flashes. They make my head spin."
"Who cares about headaches? This is Academy Awards!" your friend said, almost shouting.
"Yeah, yeah. I don't really have a choice." you muttered, scratching your cheeks. "I'll talk to you tomorrow." you hang up the phone, placing it on your lap.
Your friend is somewhere in London, she's a photographer for magazines, and she can't come with you because of her busy schedule. This is the first time you'll be at the red carpet without your best friend. Who gives a fuck if she's not supposed to be in red carpets, she's your best friend and she's coming with you. That's it.
Your phone buzzed, making you roll your eyes, you looked at the screen seeing Leo's name popped up on the screen.Your eyes became twice its size, "Holy shit!" you almost dropped your phone on the floor, as you scatter on your bed like a teenage girl that just got asked on her first date. The Leonardo DiCaprio just texted you.
You had his number for quite some time now, but you never really have the guts to text him. All of your friends, from the actresses, actors, to the directors, hell even camera men knew that you have the biggest crush on him. And this, the text, it's like a dream come true. What makes it even better is he's the one who texted you first.
I heard you're nominated for an Oscar, good luck. Though I know you'll win, great job.
You squealed in delight, mumbling oh my god over and over again. This can't be happening, How did he even know that? Oh my god. You got startled, looking at your phone screen. Your hands were shaking, not knowing if you should swipe the green or red call sign. "Fuck, fuck, fuck..."
"Hello?" you answered, releasing a wavered breath.
"Y/N?" Leo talked, "Is this Y/N?"
"Y- Yeah." you cleared your throat, sitting up on the bed, "Yes. It's me."
You heard Leo laughed on the other line, which makes your lips curved into a grin. "I thought it was not you. You didn't text me back." Leo said.
Your heart started beating faster that you can practically feel it pounding in your chest. "Well, uh..." you paused, finding the right words to say. "I- I didn't really know how to, um you know, reply to your text." you stammered, your nails went to your mouth as you started biting on it. It was a habit you can't get rid off, something you do when you're nervous.
"I would really appreciate a small thank you," you heard him said with a teasing tone.
Giggling at his words, you couldn't help but smile wider, "Thank you."
"And also," Leo trailed, "I heard you're going to the red carpet alone?"
You pulled the phone away from your eyes, blinking rapidly, checking if you're really talking to Leo at the moment. "Y- Yeah." you answered whilst you place your phone back to your ears.
"You know," Leo said, a faint chuckle escaping from his lips, "Someone told me that this girl has a crush on me."
You felt your blood run up to your cheeks, feeling your whole face turn warm. "Well..." you gulp down the liquid on your throat, as it turn dry.
"Yeah, she's a very beautiful girl, I can say." you heard a door open on the other line. "Are you asking her now?" someone asked Leo. You heard the phone being placed down, as well as some inaudible conversations. You sat there on the bed, feeling your face turning back into its normal shade. There was shuffling on the other line, "Sorry about that." Leo said, you can totally imagine him either scratching the back of his neck or his cheek.
"So where are we?" he asked, before you can answer Leo beats you to it, "Oh right. This beautiful, beautiful girl who has a crush on me."
"Cut it off Leo, just ask her." that voice was so familiar, but still hard to distinguish, and you just realized that Leo is with a friend right now. What is he about to ask you though?
"Shut up!" Leo barked, you are certain that it was not for you but the other guy in the room. You laughed faintly, placing a hand to your mouth.
"You're so cheesy bro," For the second time, you heard shuffles but this time you can hear their loud laughs and someone whining. "Get out! And get lost, will ya old sport?" you heard Leo screaming, it was far from the phone but it was really audible.
"Y/N! This is Tobey Maguire! Nice to meet you!" Tobey shouted, before you heard the door shut, the sound of the lock ringing inside the room, if they are even inside a room.
"Right." Leo sighed, "This just fuck it all up."
You giggled, "Hmmm..."
"This girl that has a crush on me," Leo trailed. "I actually have my eyes set on her as well."
You blushed again, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Will you be my date?" Leo asked.
You can't stop yourself from smiling so wide, your cheeks are actually starting to hurt as well as you jaw, "Of course. I'd love that." you mumbled.
"Great. I'll pick you up." Leo uttered.
"Sure," you replied, closing your eyes and letting your body fall down the soft mattress.
You heard a loud bang, Leo cursing what the hell on the other line. "Did you just break my door?" Leo asked someone, who apparently broke down his door.
"Did you ask her already?" Oh Toby...This time you didn't bother placing a hand to your mouth to stifle your laughter, you just laugh.
