Lifetime ( Ryan Destiny Story)

The Audition

DANI'S POV :
I had just received an email regarding an open audition for a new upcoming movie, that was set to film in May of next year. It's the end of November and all year I've been trying to book a movie deal. All I've gotten is commercials and small modeling gigs. I have a passion for film. For telling stories through the power that is acting.

"Babe I'm home." I tossed my keys on the kitchen table and walked into the living room.

"Welcome home baby" Banks replied. He was sitting on the couch, watching a movie on his laptop. "Come here I wanna show you something." I walked over and sat on his lap.

He closed his Netflix tab and proceeded to click on an already open tab. "See baby look at this one." He pointed at an image of a small puppy on his screen. My heart began to melt. "Aw" I replied. I began to pout. "He's cute and I really would love for him to join our family but you know he's not in the budget right now." I got up and walked in the kitchen, he followed.

"Here you go talking about a budget." I grabbed an orange and sat at the table beginning to peel. "What else do you want me to say? I would love a dog but we can't afford one" He exhaled. "Maybe if we both had jobs.." he mumbled. "Excuse me?" I said blandly.

"You heard me woman, I said when are you gonna get a real job?"

"Charlie you know I'm trying"

"Do I?" He scoffed.

"Yes! Yes you do, you know damn well I've been going to all the auditions tryna land a lead role."

"News flash, clearly it ain working. So just drop the shit and get you a real job!"

"Fuck you." I grabbed my keys and walked out the door, slamming it shut behind me.

DANI'S Inner Thoughts :
Who the fuck does he think he is?
Over a dog? Really? What kind of shit is that?
Who the fuck pissed in his cereal? I don't have time for the bullshit. I got lines to study and opportunities to chase.

I drove to a café to memorize lines and cool down. I wasn't too confident I'd get the role.
I was- again for the thousandth time, auditioning for a lead role. I don't know why I never seemed to get them. I know I've got the talent but maybe I don't possess star power, I don't know.

"But that doesn't make any sense..." I mumbled to myself, trying to memorize.
"Excuse me?" I looked up from the script and saw a tall figure above me. "Yes?" I answered.
"Sorry to bother you but what drink is that you have?" He asked, his voice so crisp and clear.
"I'm sorry?" I said confused. "The drink... I've made my way through the menu and I haven't had that one yet." He explained. The drink I was drinking was from home, I had left it in the car, so now it was all warm and weird looking.

Yet I still drank it... weird.

"Oh I  uh.. I made it myself."
"Interesting" he glanced at me smirking.
"Listen I know I'm a stranger and you might think I'm tryna stalk you or something but-"
I giggled. He was charming. " but I really gotta have that drink." I tried to collect my words.

"Maybe you could make it for me some day?"
"Uh I-" I stuttered. "I'll pay ." He licked his lips slowly and half smiled. "Yeah sure, some day"
He chuckled. "I'm Hendrix", " Danielle." We shook hands, his hands were big and soft.

Okay so I'm completely keeping shit from y'all...he was fine y'all! So damn fine. His ass know damn well he don't care about that drink. He can get a straw for another reason though ouwwwwwwwn! Okay sorry, too much! Too much! I'm with Banks and even tho I'm pissed at him right now I'm not gonna step out on him, come on now! I'm better than this.
