Okay so sorry but as much as it pains me to say I don't own anything but the plot :(
Review and I will love you forever!
"Ouch! Ouch! Shit, that hurts!" I yelled out as my finger touched the scorching sheet. I set the hot cookie sheet down and ran over to the faucet. Just as I turned on the water I heard the door bell ring.
"Just a minute!" I called out. I quickly ran my finger unde the water quickly and wrapped it in a paper towel. I ran over to the door and opened it to find jasper.
"Hey Bells" He said with a smile.
"Hey Jasper!" I said excited to see him.
"What the hell did u do now?" He asked me eying my hand.
"Well I was making cookies and it slipped. Opps!" I said. He rolled his eyes and laughed.
"Only you Bella, only you!" He said with a chuckle.
"So, come on in!" I said welcoming him.
"Thanks so where are these cookies?" He asked me, obviously wanting some.
"Help yourself, they're in the kitchen. Be careful though, they are really hot, obviously." I told him gesturing to my finger.
"Thanks Bells, that's a bad burn. You should get a band-aid for it." He told me.
"Your right. While you get your cookies, I think I will do just that." He nodded his head. I walked into the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet where the band-aids were located.
As I walked back to the kitchen, I found Jasper eating his cookies by the counter.
"So how did your meeting go?" I asked him.
"Alright, she will be representing me, my lawyer is looking over the contracts as we speak." He told me.
"That's awesome Jasper!" I told him. I was so happy for him. I knew he wanted this and now he was getting it!
"It is huh?" He said with a shrug. I couldn't believe he was done playing this.
"Oh shut up Jasper, you know u are stoked!" I lectured him.
"Really? I am?" He asked me with a smile.
"Yes you are, your just trying to downplay it to seem cool." I explained to him. He rolled his eyes.
"Whatever you say Bella…" He told me. "So how did your meeting go?" He asked me attempting to change the subject. I decided to give in.
"Good actually. Do you remember the show Jake told us about?" I asked him.
"Yeah. You mean the one about spoiled rich kids?" He asked me.
"Yup, I got an offer to play as one of the leads!" I exclaimed.
"Really Bells? That's great! I know how much you have been wanting to do this for a while!" He told me.
"Yup! I sign contracts tomorrow and then meet with the cast for a pre-production meeting!" I explained to him.
"Cool, what do you do at one of those meetings?" He asked me.
"Well I will meet the rest of the cast and probably read a few lines with them, the director will explain what he wants from us and the show, and then he will give us our filming schedules." I listed. There was so much to do at this meeting, it was hard to simplify.
"Gotcha" He said obviously uninterested. Me and Jasper spent the night watching bad T.V. It was actually a lot of fun. He ended up spending the night. When I woke up the next morning, I walked into the kitchen and began making us breakfast. I was in the mood for waffles, so waffles it was.
"Beep, beep. Beep, beep. Beep, beep." My phone rang. I grabbed my phone. The caller I.D. read Jessica.
"Hey Jess! What's up?" I asked her.
"Ummm. Bella your in the media again." She told me hesitating. Oh god, not again…
"What? What now?" I asked her exasperated.
"Its not soooo bad. Not the usual at least…" She told me.
"Wait, what do you mean not the usual? What have they concocted now?" I asked her. I was preparing myself for the worst.
"Well its not to bad. They just have some pictures from the dinner with all of us, a few from the club, and some from lunch yesterday." She told me.
"Oh well what is the problem then?" I asked her. I was getting confused.
"Well…it's the headline that I think will upset you." She explained.
"Okay…" I hesitated. "What is the headline?" I asked her.
"Romance in the Air." She told me.
"I don't understand…" I told her.
"The article goes on to say that you and Jasper have been spotted at different locations around the city. An eyewitness at the club they attended said the couple were dancing together and looked quite close." She read.
"Damn." I said simply.
"I know. Angela has contacted me asking how we want to respond to this." She told me.
"What are our options?" I asked her.
"Well Angela can release a press statement saying that you two are just friends or we can confirm the rumor that something is going on. There is also the option that we could respond with no comment." She explained to me.
"How about you say we are just friends and I will make a effort to stay out of the public eye" I told her.
"Sounds good." Jessica told me "I will call Angela right now to relay the news." She told me.
"Thanks! Bye Jessica!" I said and hung up.
I did my best to stay out of the public eye for the next week.
Angela met with the producer by herself and drew up a great contract for me. I would e getting $ 45,000 a episode with a chance of increase for following seasons. She dropped it off the following night for me to sign.
I would hang out with Jasper, Jessica, and Rosalie but only when they came over to my place. It started to work. The media stopped talking about me and Jasper and had moved on to Angelina and Brad's new kid.
I only ventured out of my apartment for the pre-production meeting that I was required to attend. Me and Jacob decided to carpool. I picked him up at his house on the other side of town, it was kinda out of the way but I didn't mind. I pulled up his driveway and he was there waiting. He walked up to the Audi and climbed in.
"Hey Jakey!" I greeted him
"Sup Bells?" He responded.
"Not much, I'm just super nervous!" I confessed.
"Wait what? Why would you be nervous? You're a highly praised actress. You have been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes. What the hell do you have to be nervous about?" He told me.
"Aw thanks Jake but this is my first time doing a show like this. It's new territory for me." I explained to him.
"I get that, but still I promise you will be fine!" He reassured me.
"Thanks hun." I told him with a smile. Within ten minutes I was pulling into the parking lot. Me and Jake climbed out of my car and looked around.
There were very few cars in the parking lot but other then that, the place looked vacant. I knew it wouldn't stay like that for long. Soon it would be filled with cars and the noise of busy workers everywhere.
Jake and I walked into the studio and looked around. There was a desk in the corner with a women sitting at it. We approached her.
"Excuse me…" Jake paused reading the nameplate on the desk "…Heidi, we are here for the pre-production meeting. I'm Jake and this is Bella. Where will we be meeting?" he asked her.
"Oh hello. You're the first actors here. The Director and Producers are waiting in the main conference room. Follow me, I'll show you where it is." She told us. She stood up and started walking away. We took that as a cue to follow her and as such.
She led us down a long hallway. She stopped at the last hallway and opened the door for us. We entered the door and found three men waiting for us.
We advanced towards them to introduce ourselves.
"Hi, my name is Bella Swan." I told them.
"And my name is Jacob Black." Jake told them.
"It is nice to meet you both. We have seen a lot of your work and we know you both are highly qualified for these roles. My name is Daniel, I will be your director." He told us.
"Thank you." I told him with my classic blush, it never fails to make an appearance.
"It's true, you both are excellent." One of the other man told me. "My name is Ralph and my other associate here is Tray. We will be your producers." He continued.
"It is a pleasure to meet all three of you." I told them with a smile.
"The pleasure is all ours" Daniel told me.
"Why don't you take a seat, the others should be joining us soon." He informed us. We did as he said and sat in two of the seven available seats. We all made small talk until there was a knock at the door.
The door opened revealing a short girl. She bounced up to the director and producers and introduced herself as Alice Brandon.
I knew a little about her. She gained her fame as a young actress who had her own Disney show that was extremely popular in the pre-teen set. Because of her ability to constantly land herself on the best dressed lists, she created her own clothing line and it is doing relatively well.
She bounced over to the seat next to me.
"My name is Alice, what yours!" She asked me with a huge smile.
"Umm…Bella. Nice to meet you." I told her. Instead of shaking the hand I had extended to her, she grasped me in a tight hug. I couldn't help but hug her back, she was infectious. Minutes later, the door swung open revealing another face and it was a unpleasant one, the face of Leah Clearwater.
"Oh my GAWD! Why the hell don't you people have Valet?" She screeched as pleasant as always.
"Umm Ms. Clearwater why don't you take a seat and we can discuss matters like once everyone has arrived." Ralph told her.
"Alright, but just know that I am not dropping this!" She declared as I commenced to roll my eyes.
"She is going to be a joy to work with…" Jake whispered into my ear. I giggled earning a glare from Leah herself.
I had had the pleasure of working with her on a movie in the past and believe me when I say pleasure, I really mean annoyance of working with. She was awful. She was selfish, demanding, and most of unpleasant. She didn't even pretend to be nice. It was a miracle she had any work.
"Alright everyone, we are just waiting on the Cullen brothers now, then we can begin." Daniel announced.
As if magic, we heard a knock on the door. It opened to reveal two men. The first was tall and buff. That must be Emmet, he was known to star in action movies and was famous for doing all his own stunts.
The second one who followed him was the one I couldn't take my eyes off of. He was wearing tight skinny jeans with a studded belt, a green DC t-shirt and a pair of checkered black converse but that wasn't what struck me. It was his hair, his Bronze hair. It was the hair I saw at the club, it was the hair I saw at the coffee shop., and apparently it Edward Cullen's hair.
So whatcha think? I mean it, you review and I will love you forever!
