Where Have You Been?

Chapter 9- Acting?

I turned and looked at the script that was being shoved into my hands. "I don't know if this is a good idea." I looked at Tom. 

"You will do great." He smiled. "Just try." 

"Okay." I straightened my shoulders and walked into the auditioning room. 

"So you are the little boy who has stolen something." I snarled at Tom's crumpled figure on the ground. 

"Wha-at?" He stuttered. "I didn't ste-eal." A tear rolled down his precious cheek. 

"Oh, but you did." I stalked to the other side of the room. "You came to me. You stole from me, and then you come back to me." I looked at him as a tear escaped from my eyes. "You, a man, took from the Queen." I crumpled down to a heap. 

"What did I take?" 

"You stole the thing I thought dead." I screamed. "You took my heart!" 

"And cut." The casting director called. "Wow, that was beautiful!" He clapped. "You two have amazing chemistry." He smiled. "Delilah, I can't say for sure, but I think you will get the role. Thank you Tom for coming in." 

I turned to Tom and he smiled. He caught me up in a hug and I pressed a kiss to his cheek. 

He put me down and then we walked out of the room. We waited as they discussed their options. All the other girls in the room were watching Tom. I started to feel a little smug with the fact that he was sitting with me. His precious head was on my shoulder. I turned into him and he put his arms around me. 

"Do you think I have a chance?" I whispered. 

"Love, you did beautifully." He smiled. 

"Alright." The casting Director walked in. "Thank you all for coming. The choice was hard but we decided." He smiled. "Delilah Bret, welcome aboard." 

I turned and Tom's grin was huge. He caught me up in a hug. "Good job love."

"Thank you all." He smiled and walked towards the two of us. "Delilah, welcome my dear. We are so excited to get to work with you." 

"Thank you. I'm so excited too." I shook his hand.

"We will see you in a few days." He smiled. 

"Thank you once again."

He nodded and walked away. 

Tom turned to me. "You were so perfect." 

I smiled and we walked out of the building hand in hand. "You are the reason for this." I smirked. "You know how I wasn't super willing to try." 

He nodded and as we waited for our car, he put his arm around my waist. He tucked my body up against him and smiled. "You were perfect." He looked at me. "You were beautiful." His smile lit up his face. 

I smirked. "You are the one who made me do this." I leaned over and kissed his cheek. 

"Careful darling." He snuggled against me. The car pulled up and Tom helped me in. I smiled and he rounded the to the other side and climbed in. I wrapped my hand in his. He looked at me and I took a deep breath. 

"Tom, are we official?"
