Santa In Disguise? Chapter 2
Ok so I said I was going to wait to see how this story kicked off to write another chapter but plot bunnies and all...I finished the next chapter and the first one had a few hits so, here you are. Comments would be appreciated. Love it? Hate it? Let me know!
Jane's POV
I stood frozen. Unable to move or think. I couldn't figure out if I was dreaming or if this was some kind of joke. 'What in the hell is Johnny freaking Depp doing at my doorstep?' He seemed to be patiently waiting for my response. I only half remembered him asking a question. "I'm sorry. What?" I asked.
"I'm looking for a Jane Asher. Is she home?" He replied looking mildly uncomfortable.
"Yeah. That's me." I wasn't sure what else to say but that didn't seem to matter. It think Johnny realized he needed to take control of this conversation or it wasn't going to go anywhere.
Johnny seemed to gather all of his resolve, taking a deep breath, "Do you mind if I come in? It's a bit cold out here." I could have died at my lack of common sense or hospitality. "Oh my god. Yes. Of course. I'm so sorry.Your probably freezing." I moved back from the door, holding it open so he could walk past.
Johnny stopped just inside and looked around. "You have a very beautiful home." Johnny commented, smiling kindly.
I blushed. "Well, thank you but it's not mine. It's my Mother and Step-Father's home. I'm just, ah, staying here. For awhile." I hated admitting to people that I was living back home, but telling this to a man like Johnny was beyond embarrassing.
"Oh, well. None the less. It's a beautiful home." Johnny smiled sweetly. I smiled back as encouragingly as possible. I wasn't sure what was going on but I was hoping that I would find out soon. "Yes. Well, the reason I'm here, is , uh..." Johnny shifted his feet scratching the back of his neck obviously uncomfortable with what he was about to say. This confused me even more. Here was Johnny Depp. Insanely handsome. Wealthy beyond imagine. One of the most well known men in the United States and most of the world, and he was uncomfortable in my presence? Were the stars in some mysterious lunar formation or what? "Well, I guess I have a proposition for you." He finished shyly.
I'm sure I stood there looking like an idiot catching flies. "I'm sorry. I still don't...A proposition? I'm really not sure I understand what's going on." Johnny looked at me as though he felt bad for me. Apparently this was "confuse the hell out of Jane" day.
"Yes. A proposition. My publicist came to me last week with the idea. Basically what we're offering you is a chance at an acting career. What will happen, if you agree, is we will set you up with a private teacher. You will have three weeks before your first audition. If you land the role for my next movie my agent will sign you and you will be guaranteed a role in my next five movies along with a 500,000 dollar signing bonus." Johnny took a deep breath seemingly glad that he got all that out. I on the other hand was not. I was suddenly very suspicious. There were so many thoughts racing through my mind I couldn't hold on to one of them. I couldn't help but feel that I was a part of some elaborate joke.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked, feeling more uncomfortable by the minute. "I'm sorry?" He said, raising his eyebrows. "Why are you doing this?" I repeated. "Is this a joke, or...?" He chuckled. "It's no joke, I assure you. I'm very serious." I stared at him for awhile longer waiting for him to give something away but he seemed sincere. "Ok. It's not a joke. So, why then? Why would you do this for me?" Johnny opened his mouth then closed it. He seemed like he didn't really know himself. "Like I said. My publicist came to me with the idea. She said you were a fan and...and that you seemed to be...well, down on your luck lately. She said that you had taken some acting classes in high school and she thought this was 'perfect'." I had no clue what to say let alone think. This was amazing. A way out. Finally. But I didn't want someone else to ride in and fix all my problems. It seemed wrong somehow. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can accept your offer. I don't mean to be rude but I'm no one's charity case. I'll find a way to make it. On my own. The way your supposed to." I looked down, sad that I couldn't just say yes and have all my prayers answered.
Johnny stood there staring at me with an expression I couldn't read. Again he opened his mouth as if to say something but closed it again. We stood there for awhile as an awkward silence set in. Finally he gave me a sad smile. "Ok. I can respect that. It is your choice after all. I will ask one favor though. If you don't mind." I looked at him curiously. "Sure." "I know this is abrupt but, can I stay here for a few days. I really hate hotels and...well, even though you turned down my offer, I would like to get to know you. If that doesn't seem weird as hell." He laughed awkwardly.
I had to smile. "Yeah. I think that would be fine. But your right...that is pretty weird." I smiled to let him know I was joking. Johnny smiled back like someone just shoved a ten Watt light bulb in him. This should be interesting.
