Take Flight

I Don't Know You

You hear some noise from the sofa and see two arms peak from the right side. Grabbing the glass of water and the aspirin you found earlier, you walk towards who you found out to be Angelina Jolie.

After finding that out, you weren't able to sleep. Especially because you'd clearly said you didn't give a fuck about her just a couple minutes before meeting her. You'd immediately felt out of place in this big classy, rich apartment, and you felt very awkward staying there for the night. However, you'd promised her you would've stayed, so you did, walking from the couch to the end of the hallway, to the kitchen back to the sofa. You made sure not to touch anything ; too scared to break the little decoration there was, knowing it probably was more expensive than your whole entire life.

Around 5, you'd decided to look for aspirin for when Angelina would wake up. You knew for a fact that her head would hurt like hell when she'd wake up after puking the way she did. So, you'd taken your time to explore each cupboard and ended up finding a full bottle of aspirin under the oven after about 7 minutes of research. You'd then come back to the cupboard you'd spotted some glasses in and  had poured some water in two : one you'd drunk, and one you'd kept away with the aspirin.

You'd spent most of the night wandering in the apartment and waiting, sitting at the kitchen counter. What a night. At least you'll be able to tell your grandchildren you spent a night at Angelina Jolie's once in your glorious lifetime. If you ever get some.

Around 7, after running your hands too many times in your hair, you'd noticed it was greasy and decided to take a shower in the neat black and white bathroom. After all, it was well deserved, after bringing Angelina back here and staying for the night. You'd taken your time to wash your long black hair, wanting to spend as much time as possible doing something. Unfortunately, you'd gotten out of the bathroom around 7:30, and silence still reigned in the main room.

Angelina finally woke up at 10, and you instantly walked to her to give her that aspirin you took your time finding.

As you come towards her, she sits on the sofa she slept on and the blanket you found for her falls off her shoulders. She quietly groans and puts a hand to her head, visibly hurting. You hand her the pill and the water whicht she knocks down in a second. She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath and opens them, looking at you.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," you answer calmly, "It was all yours though."

She grins.

"I mean, thank you for everything you did for me. It must've been a pain. I'm an asshole when I'm drunk. I'm sorry."

You both chuckle to her words.

"At least, now you can say you saw one of the many places Angelina Jolie owns," she says, her eyebrow raising.

Fuck, yes, she is beautiful. That's one thing that girl at the bar was right about. You nervously laugh.

"Oh huh, yeah." you awkwardly answer.

"You alright ?"

"Yeah, it's just... I mean, I don't know you, so... I had to look for your ID to know who you were."

"Well, I'm glad you didn't help me just because I am who I am. You've got a good heart."

She smiles at you, and you smile back.

"Yeah, no, I really don't know you. The only thing I know is that you're an actress. I would never have recognized you. Night or not. I would not be able to name one movie of yours."

"That's funny. I mean, it's unusual. Especially with Tomb Raider coming out last year. But it's great, I like it that you don't know me. Then I hope you don't have any false idea about me."

"Well, I just know you have a son. But that's no false statement."

"You know about Maddox ?" she asks, smiling sweetly to the thought of him.

"You told me about him. Your code is his birthday."

"Mmmh. Yeah..."

She wipes her hands on her thighs as she slowly stands up, her head visibly still hurting.

"Do you want some coffee, ...?"

"Y/N. Y/N Y/L/N."

"Well, do I make us some coffee, Y/N Y/L/N ?" she asks with a small grin.

"Well, after spending my whole night awake, I'd be glad to have some, yeah."

She laughs and walks to the kitchen. You follow her and sit back at the sideboard.

"You didn't sleep ?"

"I didn't find sleep."

"Oh," she answers with a slightly upset face, "You could've gone in one of the rooms."

"Yeah, I thought of it, but..."

How do you tell Angelina Jolie you feel uncomfortable and awkward in her house ?

"I didn't feel like sleeping."

"Oh, alright."

She pours some coffee in a mug and hands it to you.

"There you go."

"Thank you," you say with a smile.

You take a sip of the warm beverage and even though it already starts to get hot here in LA, boy is it good. You enjoy another sip before ycomes an interruption in the form of your phone ringing loudly. When you see the number, panic starts to rise.

"Shit," you whisper.

You answer the call and end it in a simple 'be there soon'. You almost run to the sofa to get your purse back under the wondering eyes of Angelina. You walk towards the door to leave, and as you open it, you quickly say :

"I'm sorry, I have to go. I forgot I had this appointment at 10, and I'm late. It was nice meeting you, though."

She chuckles.

"Nice meeting you Y/N."

You smile and leave the building running.
