CHAPTER 24- Drag Me Down
KATIE'S P.O.V.
"Good morning, babe."
A slightly high-pitched voice greeted me. I tried opening my eyes, but I couldn't manage to do so. "Babe, is that you?", I asked the voice. I'm not sure that's Chris, but I know I've heard his voice before.
"I don't know if you know who you're talking to, Katie. But, I still love you, you know." That's when I froze.
Somehow, I managed to open my eyes and see the person laying in front of me. Louis. He was smiling at me, while here I am, crying my eyes out.
"You kissed someone, then you come back saying you love me?! How could you?!", I angrily replied.
A pair of arms grabbed me and started shaking me, repeating my name again and again.
"Katie... Katie... Katie..."
"Katie! Katie! Babe, wake up!", Chris woke me up. I opened up my eyes to see him looking worried. I hugged him tight and wiped my tears. "Is it that dream again?", he asked. All I could do was nod weakly.
Just recently, I've been having these dreams about Louis, which always results to me being woken up by Chris, with tears flooding my eyes. I don't know why I keep dreaming ahout him, but it has to stop.
After that drama, we got out of bed and made breakfast. I was quiet for the rest of the morning. Ever since the start of those dreams, I've been unusually quiet. I find myself staring at nowhere. I don't feel like my old self. All because of one guy that I hate yet, I still love.
"Hey, babe. Wanna go somewhere? You know, just to cheer you up.", he offered. I smiled at him and said, "Sure, babe. Where to?" He smiled and started walking up the stairs, mumbling a 'You'll see' and chuckling.
I shook my head at his actions and started cleaning the plates. After that, I went upstairs and changed into some casual clothes. Someone knocked on my door and I opened it to reveal my boyfriend, looking cute as ever. "Ready?" I nodded and we walked hand-in-hand outside. We started walking instead of driving just to spend some time together.
"I like this.", I randomly said. Chris, who was typing something on his phone, didn't seem to catch what I said. I just shrugged it off and continued walking. We reached our destination which was, to my surprise, a carnival.
"A carnival? Really? Chris, I'm not 10 years old." "Aw, come on. You'll love it.", he teased me. I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed.
Yet, to be honest, I did have fun. I forgot what was holding me down for quite some time. I couldn't stop myself from laughing every time Chris screamed when riding different carnival rides.
At the end, I was in a good mood, wherein Chris was already close to puking. "Chris, thanks. Thanks for everything." And I kissed him. He smiled at me and we stayed like that for a while.
We went home after a while and when I checked my watch, it was already 3:30 P.M. We laid back in bed and just stayed there, admiring the ceiling. "I had a great time.", I said. "Hmm, good for you. I was so close to throwing up and jumping out of the ride.", Chris replied chuckling. Later, his phone rang. "Wait, babe. I'll just take this, okay?" He kissed my forehead and left the room, like he was in a hurry. I sat up, a little confused.
Just a minute later, my phone started ringing. I looked at it to see Mark. Mark? Why would he call me now?
"Hello?", I asked the person on the other line. "Hello, Katie? How are you?", he greeted. "Oh, just fine. You?" Yeah, I know. There was a little bit of sarcasm there.
"Oh, just great. Listen, I'll get straight to the point. I called because I have an upcoming project for you. That is, if you're up for it.", he replied. A project? Well, it's been a year since... never mind.
"I'm interested. Kindly give me the details.", I asked politely. "Well, this is a bit different from your previous movies, I assume. You're used to romantic-comedies, drama and the like. Yet, this time, you're getting some action. I'm talking about an action-packed spy movie. You're gonna be a totally different person here and the audience is not gonna expect you taking this role.", he explained.
"So you're taking me because you'd think that the audience would love a good-girl-gone-bad actress, am I right?", I replied. "Yes, exactly! Plus, your ratings will blow up the roof!", Mark added, sounding much more excited than I am.
I thought about it for a while, and I decided. Yeah, I wanna do this.
"Mark, I'm in.", I told him with determination evident in my voice. "Wonderful news! Shooting starts tomorrow at 5:30 A.M. You'll meet your leading man on set. Please wear casual clothes for the costume's on us. Be on time. Good day!", he ranted and hung up.
Leading man? Who in the world will that be?
