Mutual Friends

CHAPTER 69

Blaire-

Jacob left shortly after last night considering we had to be up early this morning. Joey also came and made fun of us for being loud, to which I got embarrassed.

I was now getting ready for our script reading, slightly nervous to see Jacob and Timmy at the same time. Me being the visual person I am, staring at the two men I've had sex with, I'm going to just see that in my head the entire time. At least this was a script reading and there wasn't going to be that much free time to talk.

Joey came skipping into my room, a face mask on and a coffee in her hand.

"Here ya go doll." She held out the coffee and smiled at me.

"Well thank you sweetheart, what's the occasion?" I laughed and took the coffee from her.

"Nothing special." She swayed back and forth. "Are you kidding? You're about to go the script reading for your first movie, that's the big occasion." She threw her hands up into the air and hugged me.

I didn't really have the opportunity to relish in the fact that I was acting in a huge movie because of my personal life. And that sounds so shitty, but my life has been a mess for the last year. Maybe things will start to settle and I can actually enjoy what I do again. I mean I have my dream job and I'm staring in a movie.

"Oh shush you're gonna make me blush." I leaned back from the hug and smiled.

"These next few months are going to be the best experience, you're gonna be busy with premieres and talk shows. Don't forget about me though." She frowned jokingly.

"You're literally an award nominated actress, please shut up." I laughed and shoved her. "It hasn't hit me yet, but life's definitely going to be different."

"Yeah you're right, but anyways you need to leave or you're going to be late. I'm going to the gym so I'll see you when you get back." She hugged me again, kissing me on the cheek and heading back out of my room.

I finished getting ready and drinking my coffee before grabbing my keys and heading out. I drove to the office before hitting a small patch of traffic, in which fans were rolling down their windows and waving. I waved back and took snapchats of the girls screaming for my attention.

Soon I was at the office, met with plenty of paparazzi taking pictures. I ran into the building covering my eyes and heading to the front desk.

"Hi yes I'm here for script read-" The lady interrupted me and held up her hand to wait.

"There aren't any script readings, fans aren't allowed in here, you need to go back out before I call  security down here." She sassily told me and flicked her hand for me to leave.

"Excuse you? I'm here for a script-" She interrupted me again.

"Like I said there aren't any script readings, I won't hesitate to call security."

I placed my hands on the counter and gave her a forced smile.

"My name is Blaire White, and like I have tried to say but you continue to interrupt me, I'm here for a script reading and I would like the floor number." I kept eye contact with her as she visibly gulped.

"Oh-I-I'm so sorry Ms. White, I didn't recognize you. It's on floor 12, elevators are to the right." She avoided eye contact with me as she shakily handed me a key card.

"Now that wasn't so hard was it," I looked at her name tag. "Jessica."

I really don't like to be rude, but she cut me off twice, so I was frustrated.

I got into the elevator and my phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey where are you? We're about to start the meeting." Timmy spoke through the phone.

"Sorry I'm in the elevator, the front desk lady wouldn't let me finish a fucking sentence."

"Wait what?" Timmy laughed through the phone.

"She didn't recognize me and threatened to call security if I didn't leave."

"Wow that's bullshit, you're not hard to recognize."

"I think she might be having a bad day, but she was scared once she realized who I was."

"Okay well hurry on up here, we're waiting."

I quickly got out and ran to the office, where everyone was waiting in their seats.

"I'm sorry I'm late, had issues with the front desk worker." I sheepishly smiled and got into the seat between Timmy and Jacob.

"Who gave you issues Blaire?" I looked to the front of the room at a man in a suit. "I'm Chris, we haven't met yet."

"Her name is Jessica, she threatened to call security on me and wouldn't let me finish a sentence to let her know what I needed." I shrugged and got comfortable in my seat.

"Okay I'll take care of that. Anyways, let's get started with the script reading folks." He smiled and passed out the unofficial scripts.

I got giddy as mine was slid in front of me, eager to open the pages and see what exactly I would be doing.

I suddenly felt a hand on my leg and I looked to see Jacob smiling at me. He leaned to my ear and whispered, "Good to see you again."

I blushed and shook my head, focusing on the script. Timmy was oddly quiet next to me, not saying hello or anything. I looked at him with my eyebrows scrunched and he looked back at me.

"What's wrong?" He gave me a sassy look.

"You haven't even said hello." I pursed my lips at him.

"I'm sorry, I'm completely out of it." He frowned at me.

"What's up?" I placed my hand on his shoulder as everyone began to flip through the scripts.

He shrugged me off and shook his head, "It doesn't matter."

I got closer to him and quietly spoke, "Timmy you haven't spoke to me whatsoever since you came over, we need to talk."

"We can after this is over." He gave me a soft smile and nodded his head.

I smiled back and returned my attention to the script.

"Okay folks, let's turn to page 5 and begin." Chris smiled and I became very excited.
