A Simple Favor

Y/N POV

I was able to calm myself down enough to call Cameron.

"Hello?"

"CAMERON GUESS WHAT OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIVE IT I-"

"What? Slow down! Y/N!"

"I'm- what?"

"I said slow down, I can't understand what the FUCK YOU'RE SAYING."

"Oh s-sorry. Anyway, I was going to say that I GOT CASTED! I GOT THE PART!"

"OH MY GOD!!" I heard her squeal.

"I KNOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

"DUDE YOU GET TO WORK WITH BLAKE! I CALL CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP!"

I laughed at her response and we continued to talk on the phone about all the things that can happen from being in this movie.

A part (the part that always seems to get me hurt with it's optimism)  of me couldn't help but hope that maybe something could happen between Blake and I. But the sensible part of me new that would never happen. She would never like a person like me. How could she? I mean, compared to her, I'm a poor, untalented nobody who somehow managed to get this part.

It was around 11 when Cameron and I ended our call. Both of us had work and we needed to sleep. I was finally able to get a good night's rest.

I woke up the next morning, feeling rested and energized. I checked my phone and saw that I had a text from my agent and college friend, Jennifer.

Hey girl! Paul's assistant contacted me last night and gave me the good news! Was thinking we can negotiate your contract with the studio today around 10 AM? The assistant said we can just do it over the phone. Also, I forwarded the schedule for the movie to you so make sure you check that. Just a heads up, the first table read with the main cast is this coming Monday! I'll text you the directions and other details :) Proud of you girl, we need to hang soon!

I smiled as I read her message. I set an alarm for 10 and checked my email, adding all the upcoming events to my calendar.

I carried on with my usual morning routine.

A little while later I was in my kitchen, drinking a fresh cup of coffee when my alarm started blaring, scaring the shit out of me and almost making me choke on my coffee.

I set my coffee down and turned off my alarm, popping in my airpods before joining the call with Jennifer and Paul's assistant.

"Good morning!" The cheery voice of the assistant rang through my headphones making me smile.

"Good morning." "Morning." Jennifer and I said.

"So, my name is Tracy, I work for Lionsgate and I am Mr. Feigs personal assistant and Jessie Henderson, our amazing producer's assistant."

"Nice to meet you." "Great to meet you I'm Jennifer, Y/N's agent."

"Ah, nice to meet you Jennifer. So, Paul and Jessie have reviewed your audition tape and are preparing to offer you 750,000 dollars to be apart of this movie."

Both Jen and I were in shock.

"Hello? Are you guys still there?"

"Uh y-yeah hi um wow.."

Tracy chuckled.

"Um that's amazing. What do you think Y/N?" Jennifer asked.

"Um well first..I'd like to say thank you. That is way more then I was expecting, and also um yeah, I absolutely accept this offer. Thank you."

"Great! So I'll email you the contract and if you can Jennifer can sign it and scan it and then send me the scanned copy, that would be awesome."

"No problem now we'll go over the details of the contract just to make sure you are both aware and content with everything."

Time skip

The three of us were on the phone for about an hour, go over the details of my contract.

I still couldn't believe they were going to pay me so much. I was expecting like, well I don't know. Certainly not 3/4 of a million dollars.

I just don't know how I'm supposed to just carry on with life the rest of this week like nothing is happening. Why can't we just do the table read now? How am I supposed to wait 4 days to see the hottest woman alive?

I sighed, forcing myself to go back to work. It's not even Friday yet! It's Thursday! Fuck Thursday! Ugh.

A/n: I know this chapter is boring and short, it's purely for context to the story. I promise things are about to get good ;)
