Year 1998 (part 1)
(Y/N = your name)
It was a really busy evening. At first I had to go to the model shootings in Toronto, and then I had to go to Montreal by my jet. I was already very frustrated because I had a headache and I had had a fight with my manager in the morning. So I wasn't in as perfect condition as I usually was.
I glanced outside the car window. There it was, Toronto - the beautiful and charming big city. It was quite nice to visit in Canada since I haven't been there for ages. It would be nice to have just some fun in the city... but it's not possible, I thought. How could I, one of the most famous American models, walk along those streets next to people who would give me long staring looks? Woah. I could only imagine.
So we arrived at the studio. The shootings were decided to organize on the roof of a high building. It was like a skyscraper, but not that high.
When the whole fashion team was ready, we went to the roof. I had butterflies in my stomach. This was so important shooting and I had to make perfect results this time.
"Are you ready?" asked Will, the main photographer.
"You know me. I'm always ready", I said, smiling. Will smiled, too, and winked. Aww, he was always so cute.
"We're gonna make this, Y/N", said Will encouragingly.
I saw so beautiful and breathtaking view when we arrived to the top of the building. I couldn't help but sigh. There was something so special and fascinating in this city. I was so entranced that I didn't see who was sitting on a chair on the edge of the roof.
But when I recognised him, my heart passed a couple of heartbeats.
Because he was Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio.
"Oh, hi, how are you?" I asked him, shaking. The butterflies in my stomach had become elephants, then dinosaurs.
Leo just gave a laugh and looked straight into my eyes. He was amazingly chill!
"I'm fine, thanks", he said. "How are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you." I started to wonder why he was there and I looked around the shooting team. They seemed very confused, but then one of them, Zoe, the make up artist, said: "Are you staying at the hotel downstairs?"
Then I realized that there really was a hotel on the third floor. It was very expensive and only film stars could afford that much.
"Yes", said Leo. "I've been just chilling up here. I didn't know that anyone else would come here on the roof, but of course I can leave if I'm disturbing you." He stood up and was leaving, but then Will said that he could sit down and watch the shootings if he wanted to. So he stayed, and we started the shootings.
I did my best and looked gorgeous, and I think that was my best performance so far. Somehow Leo made me feel more relaxed and I managed to reach better results. Will was very impressed, and Leo looked fascinated.
"Wow, it was so cool to see your shooting, Y/N", Leo told me after the shooting. "You're really professional!"
I told him thank you, and Will told me to leave because we had a hurry to fly to Montreal.
"We could hang out some day? Just to let you know, I'm in LA next week", said Leo.
I told myself to calm down. It was so confusing! Did Leonardo DiCaprio just ask me on a date?! But well, maybe he just thought I was a good-looking model like anyone else. Maybe he didn't think I was special at all.
"Y/N! Hurry up!" Will shouted, and I woke up from my thoughts.
I said only, "Okay, Leo!" and then I followed Will downstairs. The other people in our team had already gone.
I had had a chance to ask Leonardo DiCaprio's phone number, but I hadn't done that! I was frustrated because of my own behavior. Why had I acted so freaking weird?
