Meant to be in the 90's ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

~Chapter 8~

Leo and I walked outside after having the most life changing event ever happen to us. We pretty much got casted as Jack and Rose, we were both trying our best to keep our excitement levels down. We stood on the curb and flagged down a checkered cab. Leo opened the car door for me and helped me in, such a gentleman.

"Where to, miss?" The driver asks.

This triggers my memory to the script so I lean over to Leo and whisper, "To the stars." He smiles and chuckles a bit. I told the driver to ask Leo because I didn't know.

"Well sir, where to then?" Leo gave the name of the restaurant and the street name. Within a second we were off. For the most part Leo and I were silent until we reached the restaurant. Leo, like the gentleman he is, paid for the cab and again helped me out of the vehicle. We walked inside the old building. It was tucked away at the end of the street. There were lights sound across the building tops lighting up the street. They lit up the road and the few outdoor tables that the restaurant had. We walked up. It was so beautiful I just felt at home. Leo and I stood in the middle of the entrance when an old woman with tanned skin, beautiful long white hair, and shining blue eyes, which competed with Leo's, walked up to us.

"Bonjourno, Leo!" The old woman said with a very thick Italian accent. "How were the auditions? Did you pick this beauty up with you there?" She nodded to me. This made me smile.

"Sì, Andrea! We have both been casted for the leads! Don't let it out though! Silenzio"

"Oh Leo! Would I ever! Silenzio! How about you sit outside near the fairy tree." She said pointing to a potted bush tree with fairy lights in it. "It will make her beautiful skin shine." I blush at the compliment. "You two sit, I'll go back and get Francesco, he'll be just as excited to hear about auditions as I am."

Leo guided me over to the table and we sat down across from each other. A moment later a round old man walks out. He has an old apron on and a big smile.

"Leo! Il mio ragazzo, and who is this angel?" The old man asked.

"This is Isabelle. She is my future Co-Star in the movie I was telling you about."

"Ah! Nice to meet you young lady. You must be a good friend of Leo's because the only people he has ever brought here are Tobey Maguire and his mom." We all laughed together. "You see Leo's mom has taken him here since he could eat our tomato sauce! I blame myself for his obsession with pasta. If he is smart and has learned anything he will try to talk you into getting out truffle pasta. It is the best thing on our menu."

"Sir, I believe you have taught him right because he has already sold it to me!" I tell the friendly Italian.

"Good boy, Leo! I knew I liked you! Kids, was your audition bene?" I loved how they would throw Italian in there every once in a while.

"Bene! Molto bene!" Using my little knowledge of foreign languages I figured out that he said, 'good! Very good!'. "We weren't even in auditions yet. We were just practicing as the two of us and I guess the director was watching and said we pretty much secured ourselves the spot."

"That is wonderful Leo! Great job, Isabelle!"

"Thank you, sir." Leo and I said together.

"Well should I put in two orders of truffle pasta and a bottle of wine?" Francesco asked.

"That would be lovely." I told him. Just then he leaned down to Leo and said something that was inaudible to me. Leo looked up at him, shocked at first then smiled and nodded. Francesco walked away to fulfill our orders.

Leo just looked into my eyes for a minute before speaking. "So, Loudy, how did you get into acting? You are so good at it, yet I haven't seen you in any movies or shows."
