"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around." – Bob Marley.
He was a married man and stuff. They'd crossed paths a few times, different events, fundraisers, red carpets, they shared conversations with mutual friends, he was married, had been for years and she was engaged. She seemed happy, happier than her fiancé though, he seemed distant and cold while she hung on his every word. She was smart and brilliant, something she hid from the general public, and she helped in her community, raising awareness for many committees. He was smart too, not as political minded, but smart, he knew right from wrong, well until he fell in love with her.
The first time they met, he was shocked by her beauty, he had seen her in movies, she was a star on the rise, he was even more surprised by her intellect and if her fiancé wasn't standing there, a loose arm on her waist, he would have grabbed her into an electrical closet and really introduced himself. The next time they met, her fiancé wasn't with her, he didn't have his wife, she was at home with their children, they talked all night. He'd never felt more alive, she left questioning marriage, was it for her? The third time they met, she wasn't engaged anymore and the smile she gave him with a kiss to his cheek made him think, just maybe he'd had something to do with it.
This went on for a few years, an event here, there, a movie premiere, a state dinner, a fundraiser, an arts committee meeting. Each time, he fell a little more in love with the person she was, he was inspired by her. Each time she walked away from, a little bit of her heart broke as she realised what could never be hers. Until the call came.
"Liv, girl. Get up." Her manager Harrison Wright came running into her room, affectively waking her and her dog Bellie.
"What?" She had a late night, learning a script for a movie she probably wasn't going to get. Story of her life lately. She rolled over, scooping Bellie in her arms and giving Harrison her attention.
"I have a roll for you. You've been offered it Liv. You! They want you. No audition!" Harrison said as he spun his phone around in his hand, she leaped off the bed at his words.
"What? Harrison. Tell me you're not joking." Olivia was almost in tears, she'd had a bad run lately, her last film her whole character had been cut in the editing process.
"A representative from MGM just called. Fitzgerald Grant is directing a new movie and he wants you as the lead." Harrison said smiling with joy. Her face slowly fell but she regained it straight away.
"Oh my lord. Are you sure?" Olivia's heart was pounding, and it wasn't because of the role she was being offered, but by who was offering it.
"He wants you Liv." Harrison replied and her heart soared. Fitzgerald Grant wanted her. Finally.
