Meant to be in the 90's ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

~Chapter 10~

Isabelle's P.O.V.

On our way to Leo's house we had to split into two cabs. I was with Linda and Leo was with Tobey, which made sense, but I could tell Linda secretly wanted to ride with Tobey. Maybe secretly I wanted to ride with Leo. Though the final arrangements were ok. I stared out the window at the passing cars, girls with high ponies and stilettos, guys eyeing the girls, just an average L.A. day for them but, and extraordinary L.A. week for me. Suddenly the dark clouds that had been looming in the distance for most of the morning made their way above the city. Slowly raindrop after raindrop began to descend from the sky above. I loved the rain. It felt cozy and calming.

"Hey, Isabelle. I think I have a problem." Linda stated.

"I know. You like Tobey, a lot." She looked shocked that I had guessed it.

"How did you know?"

"It was obvious to me. I know you well since you are one of my best friends. Don't worry, I don't think Tobey knows."

"Promise that you won't tell him or Leo. Please." My friend begged with her whole heart. I knew no matter how hard it would be to not tell Leo that I would do my best to respect my friend's wishes.

"Of course not! Whatever makes you happy! I respect that you don't want him to know. But why do you think I would tell Leo?"

"You are the best. And maybe because you definitely find him attractive and you even more definitely have a crush on him."

"What! No way! Sure he is super hot and attractive and sexy but he is my co-Star. I can't like him. It's not supposed to be Leo and Isabelle, it is Jack and Rose! Oh Linda! Look at me, I do like him. But he is an amazing friend and no matter how much I want us to be more than that I will not wreck our friendship. But I really want to kiss him. Uhh! Help!"

"Whoa girl. Calm. You need to let things happen at their own pace. But I know how you feel. I feel the exact same way with Tobey and I have only known him for three hours. Let's change the subject. What do you think we'll do at Leo's house?"

"No idea. Probably lunch."

"We should do karaoke!" Linda suggested.

"Not a bad idea... except I have the worst, and I mean worst singing voice ever! Though I am great at memorizing songs!"

"It's fine. Karaoke is about just having fun. You just sing! Plus I doubt Leo and Tobey can sing."

"You are probably right. I doubt the two of them could sing well but that would make it more fun! Leo, Tobey, and I can be the terrible trio and you can be the super soloist!" Linda burst out laughing and I soon followed suit.

Leo's P.O.V

I sat down in the cab and buckled my seat belt with a click. My world had been changing so fast. I felt so different compared to when I was in my teens. Life seemed easier then. I remember when I had filmed basketball diaries, I was shooting scenes in Paris so I got to see France for the first time. I was so carefree, just chucking birds in front of the Eiffel Tower. Then when I had filmed Romeo and Juliet I would act how I figured Romeo felt but I never could remember a time when I had felt so in love with someone like he had. But now in Titanic, filming hasn't even started yet and I know exactly how Jack feels for Rose, how Romeo feels for Juliet. Even though I was sure I was not yet in love, I had this feeling I'm my stomach. Whenever I saw Isabelle's face I knew I had to protect her, make her smile, give her everything I had to offer. The problem is I can't do anything about this feeling because she doesn't feel the same way. To her it is just Jack and Rose, Leo and Isabelle best friends and Co-stars nothing more.

The whole car ride I just stared out the window and watched the small rain droplets start to grow. When we arrived at my house Tobey and I pulled our raincoats over our bodies after paying the cab driver. We had beat the girls.
