Lucy's POV

I've been sitting by my phone for what seems like hours. I've been so anxious all day. Today was the day that I was going to figure out if I landed the big part to play Mary Austin in the Queen biopic. I knew this was going to be my big break, I really knew it. However, all the suspense on waiting for my phone call was giving me anxiety. I sat my phone down and went into my kitchen to grab my coffee. I was so nervous that I sipped the coffee too quick and it burned my tongue a little. "Dammit!" I shout sitting the coffee down back on the counter and rushing back to my phone. I started to fix my messy bun as if someone was actually going to see me through the phone or something. Calm down, Lucy. I was about to start doing something else when my phone started to buzz and the nerves and butterflies all started to flutter back around in my stomach. I took a deep breathe, cooled myself down, and then answered the phone. "Hi, Lucy ! This is Janet calling back to tell you about the Mary Austin role." My breathe hitched, nerves going through my body at an uncontrollable speed. I seriously have never been this nervous about a role in my life, which explains how important this is to me.
"Hi Janet! So what's up, did I get it ?" I asked, so scared I felt my palms sweaty. It was silence for a moment and my heart almost stopped. "Of course you got it Lucy! The whole casting team and producers loved you!" A big sigh of relief washed over me and now I was completely elated. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!! I really got it!" I screamed into the phone, a little too loud. "Yes you did, congratulations Lucy. Now we are going to schedule a date where you can come in, have a look at the set, meet the cast and crew, and even meet Roger Taylor and Brian May." Janet spoke so calmly like it was such a normal thing to meet such legends. "Sounds great. Just text me the details." I say still not over the fact that I landed this role. "Sure thing! We are probably going to schedule tomorrow because everyone is available and so we can get you familiar with the set early." "Sounds like a plan to me! Thank you again for giving this opportunity." "No problem sweetheart, you deserve it. Now get yourself ready, you have a big day ahead of you tomorrow!" I smiled through the phone and replied, "Sure thing, bye." I ended the call and immediately started jumping up and down on my couch. I'm so ready to tackle this role. I've been wanting to play this part for so long and it's actually gonna be in my hands!! While I finish doing my little victory dance, I hear a buzz go off on my phone and look. Must be the messages from Janet letting me know about the dates and script stuff.

Janet: Come to the air arts where the Live Aid set is going be taking place around 12:30pm. The leading guys will be rehearsing the Live Aid scene. Oh, and Rami Malek, the man who is going to be playing Freddie Mercury has requested to meet you first.

I read the message over and over again to see if I'm not still high off of mine getting the part. Is it me or did she say the Rami Malek once to meet me first? I thought I had nerves before, but those were nothing like how they are now. Oh god, Rami wants to meet me? First?
I go to the kitchen and grab a glass of water to cool down before I reply. Okay to be honest, I've never watched anything with Rami in it, but I've heard of him. From what I heard, he's a great underrated actor and one of his biggest roles is the drama tv series, Mr. Robot, in which I have not watched yet. Also through lots of grapevines, I heard he has had a lot of intimate relationships with his co stars. The thought of that gives me chills. I think I'm going like him but the thought of him becoming intimate with me for the movie and then disregarding me after, does not settle with me good. Lucy why are you overrating? You've never even met the guy yet, just chill.
I stop all the possible logics of mysterious Rami Malek and finally shoot a reply back.

Me: Sounds great ! I cannot wait to finally be on set and meet the cast and crew! thank you again for all of your help and support. xoxo

I flick on the tv and think for a while. Am I really about to go through with my decision?
