{Hollywood, CA} {7/19/1925} {6:58 pm} _______________________________ "I'm sorry I didn't mean.....uh uh I forgot my line." A fragile voice spoke out as the words uttered barley reached the man's ear.
"Cut!" A voice snapped out in a venomous tone as the sound of a stack of papers spanking the ground echoed throughout the set.
"Damn it, Elizabeth. This is fifth time this has happened today, remember your one stupid line." The director uttered.
The director glanced down at his watch observing the time indicated by the two lines as it read 7:00 pm.
"Look what you have done you useless cow, the studio is closing and we still haven't filmed this scene because of your damn fault."
The sound of footsteps filled the room as in a few mere minutes the entire set was almost vacant, all that was left being Elizabeth, the director, and the crew working to unscrew off the lights.
"I swear if this happens tomorrow, you're fired." Roared out the director as he kicked down the the director's seat causing a small crash to be transmitted around the set. "Am I understood?"
"Y-Yes Sir." Elizabeth spoke out in a broken voice, her lips were quivering from fear and sadness as she fought valiantly to try to maintain the tears from breaking and shedding down her face.
"Good, now get the hell off of the set!" Shouted the director as he glared over at her with orbs that seemed a blazed.
The sound of heels clicking against the ground echoed continuously in a fast pace as Elizabeth skimped away almost in a run.
She placed her hands forward as they grasped the door's knob, her fingertips grasping it tightly as she twisted it and pulled the door open allowing her access inside the makeup room.
Once inside she tried to maneuver herself past all the other actresses as they shoved her away from them.
She finally reached a room with her name on it as she entered it quickly slamming the door shut causing a loud rumble to settle among the area.
She couldn't hold her emotions in any longer as she finally released all her pent up stress and sadness, her crystal tears breaking as they pealed off the peak of her brims running down her red makeup caked cheeks like a waterfall of emotion.
She felt so pathetic at the moment as she could hear the girls outside in the makeup area snickering to themselves as she wept biter-fully inside.
She felt so useless, she didn't want anyone to see her at the current moment, she wanted to disappear into oblivion and never come back.
She clenched her fists tightly and began swinging it upon herself in frustration. "W-Why can't I remember one line?!" She cried out in utter humiliation as the snickering from the ladies became ever more audible than before.
Minutes passed as the clock hit 7:45 pm. Elizabeth peered down at her black fur coat as she gripped the rims of it and pulled it over her shoulders. She exited the makeup lounge as the set was practically empty except for a few mere crew members still dismantling a few set pieces.
It was bone chilling outside as she began to felt jolts of electricity run down her spine probing her upright as she grasped the fur coat tighter around her frame for more warmth that it might produce.
She made her way slowly to the exit of the set's lock before she felt a contraction around her arm.
She let out a small scream as she turned out to see a man completely dressed in black three piece suit staring back at her with brown coffee bean eyes.
"G-Get away from me!" She cried out trying to pry the man's hand away from her arm.
The man reached his hand into his pocket as Elizabeth saw him hook an item.
She clenched her eyes waiting for a dagger to be pierced into her flesh but to her relief that never came.
"A letter for you..." the man spoke out in a raspy low tone as he held the letter out in the palm of his hand waiting for her to grasp it from his possession.
She slowly relaxed her body as she moved her hand over to the envelope grasping it softly with the tips of her fingers.
The man slowly looked away as the sounds of his shoes clanking against the ground soon disappeared into oblivion.
Elizabeth turned the envelope over reading her name in pen projected in the front boldly.
She traced the back of the envelope looking for the crease of the paper as she finally reached it pressing her cherry red nails against it and plying it open.
She raised the letter from the envelope and slowly began to unfold the letter as she peered her eyes over to the letters written in beautiful calligraphy.
The letter read,
"From Rudolph Valentino"
"1436 Bella Drive, Beverly Hills, CA."
"Dinner at 9:30pm"
Elizabeth stood there staring at the letter in shock as her eyes could not comprehend what they were witnessing.
"R-Rudolph V-Va-Valentino." She whispered out still in shock as she viewed the letter again to make sure her eyes weren't deceiving her.
Rudolph Valentino was the worlds most famous actor at the point in time and he was working on a movie titled "The Son of the Sheik" which Elizabeth was acting in as an extra. She didn't think Valentino would notice her, but she always noticed him.

Every time he would say his lines and play his role Elizabeth would watch in awe as her eyes would glisten in admiration towards the man, it also helped that the man was quiet a handsome devil himself.
She shallowed the lump in her throat as she folded the letter and placed it into her fur coat.
Elizabeth looked at her current outfit and winced in disgust. She was still wearing her stage outfit.
She looked at the time as it read "8:00 pm".
She gasped in shock as panic began to set in. She had an hour and half left and she could not go to Valentino's house like this. She quickly moved to the side walk of the lot right next to the street wasting no time.
She waved her hand in the air and I few mere seconds a taxi driver drove up to her.
She took a couple of steps towards the vehicle opening the door and steeping foot inside as she closed the door. _________________________________ If you made it here thank you, I'm so happy to be writing this story for all of you and I hope that you will enjoy it.
