35. The Offer
And it might be wonderful
It might be magical
It might be everything I've waited for
A miracle
Charlotte's P.O.V
*Few weeks later*
I was on my laptop watching some YouTube videos. I was watching Scarlett Johansson's time-lapse filmography from 1994-2001. I really loved the song that was playing in the video. We can say, it had became my new strange obsession. This always happens. I always come across some songs that become my obsession for a week or so and I listen to them as much as I want to. More like 24/7. Right now it was Stones by Heuse, Chris Linton, Emma Sameth. I really love Emma's part in the song. It oddly calms me down.
And let's just not forget about our queen Scarlett Johansson. She is a legit queen. When I see her even in photos or videos I get this strong vibe that screams POWER. And she is so talented and beautiful. Her body is so amazing. I could literally die to get a body like her. She is my all time favourite actress. She is one of the people who inspired me to do acting in the first place.
Suddenly, the thought about my career came into my mind. I never really thought deeply about what I had to do. I just knew it would either be acting or singing. But now I don't know which one to choose.
I feel like there are two roads diverged in front of me and I have to choose one of them because I cannot travel both of them. Both roads are alike and beautiful but both of them will bring different things in my life. And I have to choose the best which would satisfy me in the future and not have a second thought and think what might had been if I had chosen the other one.
"Hey babe." Justin said snapping me out of my thoughts. "Hey, is your album almost done?" I asked and he kissed my lips taking a seat beside me on the couch. I paused the video and waited for his reply. Justin had been spending his time in the studio a lot recently. I was really happy that he was doing what he was passionate for and I couldn't wait for the album to come out and listen to it but I missed spending time with him too.
"Yeah, the album is almost done. And from what I had listened, it's fire. I hope everyone will like it." He smiled. "Everyone will love it!" I said smiling. "Do you wanna listen?" He asked cutely and I shook my head. "I'll listen to it when it comes out so I can attack you with my kisses." I smirked and he chuckled. "Where would you kiss me?" He asked sexily. "Wherever you want me to." I pecked his nose. He smirked smashing his lips against mine making me squeal and kiss him back. I grasped the back of his hair as we made out on the couch.
We soon pulled away and I took in a deep breath trying to maintain my breathing. "What were you watching?" He asked resting his head on my chest while staring at the laptop screen.
"Scarlett Johansson's time-lapse filmography." I said massaging his scalp. He moaned closing his eyes for a brief second.
"You want to talk about something?" He suddenly asked making me raise my eyebrow at him. "What makes you say that?" I asked confused. He slowly turned his head, looking at me. "You eyes say everything. What's the matter?" He asked.
"I-I was." I cleared my throat.
"I was thinking about my career. What I wanted to do." I shrugged. "You have something in mind?" He sat up straight and grabbed my hands in his, giving them a squeeze. "I don't know. Acting. Singing. I-I am not so sure." I shrugged looking down at our hands. "Whatever you do, I know you'll do it the best." He said softly and I smiled at him. "You think so?" I asked. "I know so. And I would be your number one fan." He smirked and I giggled. "I would be cheering when your first movie comes out. I would be jamming your first single in my car. I would stick posters of you-"
"-No posters." I said cutting him off. He pouted. "But-" "No." I said. "It would be too awkward." I said shaking my head. "Fine." He huffed. Then he suddenly smirked.
"Who needs poster when I have you." He said nibbling on neck making me moan. He started sucking and then licking the spot making me breath heavily.
"Justin not right now." I said pushing his face away when things started to get heated.
He looked frustrated but nodded anyways. "Justin I'm sorry but I'm...I don't think I can fully give my body to you just yet." I said as my eyes grew watery. The truth is, even when I say that I forgiven Mason and he was gone now, he still haunts me. I am not able to sleep at night, I have nightmares and I don't think I can really be the old me just yet. I couldn't give myself to Justin just yet.
"Hey, it's alright. Don't cry." He immediately cupped my face wiping away my tears that had managed to rolled down my cheeks. "It's okay." He said hugging me. "We can talk about it to your therapist, yeah?" He asked and I nodded. Did I mention that I had to take therapy too?
Well, I am going through therapy too. I think it's for the best. I don't want things haunting me all the time.
Justin kissed my forehead. "Let's have a date. We haven't had one since forever." He said and I looked up at his face. "Jay, people still don't know about us. How-"
"-Who said just because people don't know about us, we cannot go on dates? You are my girlfriend, and I have every right to take my girlfriend out on dates." He said cutting me off. I sighed and agreed giving him a smile.
"So Charlotte Bieber, the most beautiful girl in the universe will you go out on a date with me?" He asked pulling out the puppy dog eyes. He even got down on his knees being the dramatic as ever.
I giggled and nodded putting my hand on his which he had held in front of me.
"Yes, I would love to go on a date with you Mr. Bieber."
****
"Hey Scoot." I said while munching on my chips.
"Hey Lotte." He chuckled when he saw me eating.
"What happened man?" Justin asked stealing some of my chips making me give him death glare.
"I am here to talk to Charlotte." Scooter said getting serious and I raised my eyebrow. "Yeah sure what's up?" I asked.
"So you remember how you said on Ellen that you wanted to do acting or singing? How you wanted it to be your career?" He asked and I nodded. "Yeah what about that?" I asked.
"I have an offer. Film directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini are making a movie and they want to cast a new face as the main lead. If you want then you can give the audition for the role. And if you don't want to do it then if you want you can work on your first single." He said and my eyes widened. "I-I can give audition to the main lead's role?" I asked excitedly and he nodded giving me a smile.
"Yeah you can. And who knows maybe you'll be their main lead in the movie. Think about it. The title of the movie is The Nanny Diaries and I think you'll fit for the role from what I had heard about the character." He said and I smiled big, ear to ear.
But what if I want to be a singer? Maybe I should take a day to think about it.
"Can I tell you my decision tomorrow?" I asked. "Yeah of course. The auditions are most probably next week. Not before that. If you want to do it, you can give the audition and you'll even have a week to prepare." He said and I squealed and hugged him. "Thank you so much." I smiled.
"That's great." Justin said excitedly and I kissed him. He kissed me back and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer.
"Okay guys please no PDA in front of me." Scooter said awkwardly and we pulled away. I blushed and looked away trying to hide my red face causing both Justin and Scooter to laugh.
Suddenly, Scooter's phone started ringing and he excused himself to take the call.
"You happy?" Justin asked even when the answer was obvious. "Duh." I laughed and he hugged me from behind and resting his head on my shoulder blade not before kissing the spot.
Now that main thing I had to think about is if I want to give the audition or not.
---------------------------------------------------------
I had added The Nanny Diaries as you all had chosen.
And I'll be updating twice so be ready:)
And if you are wondering about the video that I had mentioned that Charlotte was watching, I had added that too so you could watch it if you want. It's amazing, trust me!
And I had mentioned the poem 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost where Charlotte thinks about the two roads. I had to study the poem in English as it in in my book so I added a little bit explaination because the situation was kinda same.
Quick question; do you all scroll or swipe while reading a book? I mean, there are two options on Wattpad which are scrolling and paging. Which one do you use?
I use paging.
Hope you guys liked this chapter β€οΈ
