Define love. || Young Leonardo Dicaprio

Chapter 4

I didn't get much sleep last night. Probably didn't fall asleep until 4 in morning. To be completely honest I couldn't stop thinking about talking to Leo earlier. It was the first time since grade 8, I wanna say, since we actually talked civilly. Which when I think about it was strange how we went from being so so close to being enemies in a way.

I looked over to my phone and it was currently 7am. Great, 3 hours of sleep, todays gonna kill me. I usually got up at this time to go for my daily jog but todays is just not cutting it. I had a table reading at 1 today so lounging around til then was on the cards.

I got up from bed and headed to my ensuite had a shower and then did my hair and light makeup. This was normal for me even if I was staying in all day. I grabbed my phone then headed out my bedroom.

As I opened my door Leo did at the same time both glimpsing at each other and giving a subtle nod at the same time. I completely forgot to message Ava asking her about the party, slowing down so Leo could pass me on the staircase so he couldn't peek my screen.

Kenna 🫶🏽 : Ava, please tell me you remember that frat party we went to on Wednesday night? I'm rooted I don't remember anything

The message delivered but I guess it's too early for Ava to reply. I walked into the kitchen to the smell of bacon and eggs. My mouth watered already craving my breakfast.

"Do you want some coffee?" I saw Leo in the kitchen getting himself a mug but standing by the others waiting for my reply

"Where's Marissa this morning?" I questioned instead

"She just had to go to the shops.... Soooo?" He hovered by the mugs. I shook my head

"Whatever suit yourself" he poured himself a coffee then sat at the table. My dad walked in all ready for the day, humming a tune then slumping into the chair.

"Morning dad, do you want a coffee?" I smiled getting up to get myself one, knowing it would irritate Leo. I just couldn't help myself hehe I looked over at him and saw him rolling his eyes

"Morning honey, morning to you too Leo, yeh if you could grab me some that would be wonderful" I smiled then heading back to the table placing both our mugs on the table.

I started eating my breakfast, starting to get a little anxious about meeting everyone I still haven't gotten an idea of who the leading guy is. That's bad isn't it? I mean he's Romeo for crying out loud

"-yeh it'll be good to get everyone together and get everyone to go through the script as a whole, I think it'll help us understand where everything is going and seeing if we need to tweak anything, Kenna don't forget about the meeting today at 1, you cannot be late?" I tuned into Leo's and dads conversation and nodded. Again blanking out whilst they talk about filming and the movie

"Exactly, I do have a few more ideas but I think I want to wait until we get on set and see how everything plays out -" I tuned in again after hearing Leo talk about ideas and being on set. My eyes opened wide. Was he my leading man? This is all too weird. Like this is Juliet's love interest

"-Paul Rudd, yeh he seems like a great guy I'm excited to meet him today actually! Who el-" what did Leo just say? I took a huge gulp

"I'm sorry but am I hearing this right?" Leo and dad looked at each other confusedly

"Are you coming to the reading today?"

"Ofcourse I am sweetie, I have to be there" dad chuckled

"No no no not you dad, Leo" I said pointing at him from across the table and him swatting my hands away. I frowned
