Chapter 3

"This love starts my rollin train
You can not stop it "

She heard in the earphones well-known voice of Billy Idol. She smiled to herself. If everything could be simple. - she thought. -It's just a childish crush, mixed with curiosity of this day. She remembered exactly the day when she saw for the first time - Cate Blanchett on the big screen - she was 13, and actress charmed her to the point that almost unreal is that now will be playing at her side.

Dreams come true, although I should be afraid of them. - she thought, starting the car.

"I robbed the devil of love
All right
Cradle of Love
If you teaze me tonight
If you sleaze me all right
If you appeaze me tonight
And let me ease you
Cradle of Love "

She smiled to herself, hearing so well-known words. Her imagination quickly headed for the kiss with the actress who had once imagined. "I robbed the devil of love" - of course it is. She was charmed from the moment when she saw her on the big screen for the first time. "If you teaze me tonight ... And let me ease you ..." - if only it could be real, she definitely do not thinking about it much. Even the fact that it is an another woman. Having her tight inside shoulders and ... Did not you bother what people say? She shook her head in disbelief, swearing to herself.

-Welcome, Rooney. - She heard and felt a hand on shoulder. She returned to the ground quickly, pulling out the earphones.

-Welcome, Todd. - She replied, smiling.

-How was your trip? - He asked.

-Quite well. I'll tell you that I even getting enough sleep. The lessons inflicted by you - worked, of course, but I would like to ask about a few things before we start rehearsals. - She said, looking around. Cincinnati welcomed her with a melting of snow and a slight frost. She wrapped her scarf tightly, agreeing with Todd, where they will have to see.

She checked into a hotel. The boy with the service brought her suitcase. The room was on the first floor. She looked around, smiling to herself. Now, this room will be a new home for her for the next few months. There were quite cozy. Dark wood paneling, large bed was by the window. The view from the window was simply fabulous, a lot of trees. It will be a place for walking. And another air immediately.

At the appointed hour, she went to a small coffee shop. In her hand she held a book in which she kept her notes and script. Already in the distance she saw her director, sitting at a table. She ordered coffee and sat down across from him.

-Cate will be soon here. I talked to her before. - He said with a smile, looking at her calmly. He knew that she would be the perfect person to play Therese Belivet. On his words, her heart beat faster.

-I'm a bit nervous. - She said, feeling the ascending red on her cheeks. The waitress brought them ordered coffee. She saw that Todd wanted to ask something, but she interrupted him. -Todd, I'm just wondering on the figure of Therese ... I think that in those days she was quite a brave person. She do not pay attention on what may the other people think. She not thought about whether she loves Richard, dispose of it as he only reminded her of going to Europe. At the request of Carol - she consented almost immediately, without looking at the consequences. Of course, she was enchanted by an older woman. She definitely was in love, when she asked Richard, "Have you ever fallen in love with a man, and heard about people like this?" But love does not choose, it just happens. No matter what the sex of people. Nowadays, one could say that Therese could be bisexual somehow. - Todd watched her carefully. He knew he was not mistaken. -Unfortunately, Carol had a harder decision ... - whispered Rooney and took a sip from her cup.

-Well here am I. - Suddenly they heard a low, soft voice with an Australian accent. Rooney's heart beat faster when she felt woman blue eyes on her.

-Welcome Rooney! I can finally meet you. Todd spoke highly about you, besides I am also impressed by your choices of the movies. - She said quickly, sitting next to the actress and pulling her to herself. Rooney flushed away.

-Welcome Cate! I'm pleased to be working by your side. - she whispered with difficulty, blushing even more. Cate smiled, seeing her embarrassment. So she just quickly changed the subject. -What you two discuss before I came?

-The main topic was a about Therese and courage of those two. - The director said quickly, unable to look away from the two main actresses sitting opposite him.

-As I understand, you mean the courage to live by self? - She asked, brushing a strand of blond hair by her ear.

Rooney sitting next to her was mesmerized. She absorbed by the warmth from the actress, her every movement and tone of voice. A voice that pierced her small body. She could not hide the surprise and excitement. Maybe it's just a dream, and as soon as she wakes up. But it was not a dream. She pinched her hand and said quietly.

-I asked Todd, what he thought about the form of Therese. In their own way of beating her unusual strength. She does not think about the consequences. The fact that Richard loves her and wants to spend life with her, planning a trip to Europe. Therese is not convinced of all this. She feels that it is suffocating and can not be realized herself. - She said, and suddenly the scene from two months ago stood before her eyes. Similarly she is arguing with her boyfriend. She choked up now, feeling that her locks. She could not be forced to live like before, but what was the main reason? Her heart stood for a moment, when she realized that she'll intensive looking at Cate Blanchett face, sitting next to her. She sighed, returning to the lost thoughts. -On the proposal by Carol, she agreed immediately. She just jumped into it right away, without thinking about the social consequences.

-Carol was too afraid, otherwise she had more to risk. - said the older women. -The child will be always in the first place for every mother. Carol was just between the one who loved and of course, a marriage which for a long time isn't it. She loved Therese from the bottom of her heart, but she also do something more than Richard did - she allowed Therese to realize herself. She can't left her empty-handed, she just only helped her - buy the camera, forcing her to move on with it and fulfill her dreams. - She said, glancing at the director and the girl sitting next to. -Everyone relationship should be like their, I guess.

Oh God, she is just a cute woman. Cate was surprised but she quite well knew - There was something elusive and compressive of my heart when I looked at her. - thought the blonde, watching observe, green eyes. A courage? - She asked herself.-If everything could be simple. - she thought.

The phone rang and Todd left them for a moment . However, he had to go back to the movie plan .

Rooney felt how her throat grip. She can't talk for a moment, just only tried to finish her coffee. She felt the blue eyes watching her carefully.

-Well, it's our first day. Would you mind to have a dinner with me? We can talk a little more if you like. -Cate asked with a some tension in her voice. The black hair girl just smiled.

-Yes! I would love to. - she answered.

-Well you're just cute and interesting girl. 3 pm. is fine for you? - she asked and wink for her. Rooney looked at Cate. She was wearing a black blouse and a satin trousers cropped ankle with a black high heels. Her neck was decorated by a gold chain. Simple, but a classy.

-Yes it's fine. I will come for you. - said Rooney in a hypnotic trans.

-Don't you forget about something? -blond woman asked her with a shining eyes. Rooney felt how her cheeks must be more redish. -I stayed in the same hotel as you. Room 42 the first floor. So see you later, cutie pie.

She waved her hand and turned to her leaving the small coffee shop.

Everything happens too fast. - younger woman thoughts, but she can't stop her heart beating quicker with two tones. -You'll have your day of truth. She knew that she was just electrified by Cate Blanchett.
