Delilah's POV-
" Places people places "
" Huh wha? " I shook my head breaking out of my train of thought when I heard the director shout through his megaphone at the top of his lungs . Good lord dude . I thought to myself as I quickly glossed over the script . The director was a middle aged who wore a red cap with a four o clock shadow on his face .
" Your on in two minutes are you ready to go Delilah ? " . I looked up to see my agent Samatha asked . Samatha wore a grey business suit with her dark red hair tied up into a pony tail .
" Yep I think so " . I smiled . Even though I just merely glanced at the script . Thankfully I don't have much of a speaking role in this .
" I was informed to tell you that you would be working with a well known actor in this movie " . My eyes widened in excitement as I stood up from my chair .
" You can't be serious? Come on tell me tell me ooh let me guess Robert Downey Jr. , Tom Hanks , oooh is it Sean Penn ? " I eagerly replied unable to sit still now .
" Actually it's someone better "
" Better? Heh who could possibly be better ? "
" Jee I don't know how about the one and only Clarence Damon " . When those words left Samatha's lips I felt like I was legit gonna pass out . Clarence Damon was one of Hollywood's sexiest man alive not to mention he stars in many groundbreaking films , he's the definition of perfection . Being able to work with him would be such a honor . If he's gonna be in this movie that means maybe I'll get more recognition . Still though I wondered...why would he want to star in a film with an unknown ? surely he would've asked to work with a more well known actor right? I shrugged it off . Meh who knows maybe he just really liked the script and offered to be in the movie . That's when I heard a loud car horn go off . The horn was pretty obnoxious not gonna lie . I turned around slightly irritated when suddenly a black BMW pulled up by the gate and out stepped Clarance . In his black suit with sunglasses on . Also did I forget to mention he was the sexiest man in Hollywood as of this year? I shook my head . God Delilah take a breather this is a business you gotta be professional about this. I exhaled a long sigh .
The director walked over to greet Clarence by the gate with a friendly handshake as I kinda just stood there awkwardly with my hands behind my back rocking my feet back and forth in place .
" It's good to see you Clarence " . The director said with laughter .
" Well then pleasure " . Oh god he's voice held such charisma . He ran his fingers through his dirty blonde hair as I was trying not totally freak out meanwhile they were having a pleasant conversation for a short time . That is until he spotted me . That's when my body froze . I was like a deer in the headlights .
" Ah and who might you be ? "
" Oh right Clarence this is—- "
" Wait I know you my if it isn't the lovely Ms Delilah Gallagher " .
" Yep that's me " . I nervously laughed .
Clarence knows of my existence oh god oh god I wasn't prepared for this .
" Well might I say I'm a huge fan of
you " . He said shaking my hand keeping a strong grip .
" Heh as am I you were absolutely fantastic in The Lone Wolf " .
" I know " . He joked . I still was blown away that I was gonna star along side him . I could barely contain myself it was almost as if I was gonna die from over joy . The people at my funeral would ask Why yes how did Delilah die ? Well she became so overjoyed that her heart couldn't take so much of it anymore . Yep that sounds pretty accurate on how I would die .
" Well I should show Clarence around the studio real quick "
" Right of course " . Clarence said agreeing to the director .
" It was a pleasure meeting you
Delilah " . He winked . I blushed and let out a small wave while mentally squealing like a pig . He chuckled following the director . It's sure gonna be one hell of a fine time working with him . I wonder if I'll loose my focus . Oh who am I kidding of course I would .
" Delilah ? "
" Mmh? "
" I just saw him winking at you " . Samatha smiled .
" I know right even I'm still quite taken a back by it " .
" Ah don't be this is a good thing think about it with him in this movie this guy is the key for you to becoming a main stream actress " .
" Pppft you really think so? "
" I—- " Samatha was cut short by a male spoken voice .
" Heh if I were you I would start to reconsider my choice in career " . I turned around and saw a young man who looked to be in his mid twenties who had this kind of disheveled look to him from his messy dark brown hair , his tiresome looking hazel colored eyes , a blue flannel shirt with a grey hoodie underneath , some old pair of jeans , and he had a head set that hung loosely around his neck .
" Um excuse me? " . I said clearly annoyed by this guys attitude . He looked up at me holding a clipboard .
Well I'd be lying if I said he wasn't well...kind cute in a weird way I guess . My taste in men for the most part would be considered odd I guess .
" I'm sorry you clearly must've been dropped on your head as a baby do you know who I am? " Man what the hell since when did I sound like a total bitch?
" I know your acting like a total entitled brat if that's what you mean " . He simply stated .
" What the— "
" Yo Collin get your ass over here?! "
" Fuck " . I heard him curse under his breath . One of the other actors asked for him in an unpleasant manner that it made me want to reconsider taking back my attitude I had earlier . Since when did I act like that? Like I clearly know I'm not a well known actress but still . I mean sure I'm not a fan of this guy already but surely that other actor didn't need to speak to him like that . Wow I sound like such a hypocrite cause I did the exact same damn thing . Collin rolled his before sighing in frustration.
" Oh and just between you and me I think it's best for you to stop and think before you say something rude surely your parents taught you that , think you can do that next time ? " . He said walking away with an annoyed look on his face . I stood there with my mouth open furiously .
" Okay what the hell was that about who does that guy think he is? I asked Samatha .
" Him? Oh that's just Collin he's just everybody's assistant around here although he does tend to overdose on sarcasm which is no good if you want to get higher up in this industry " . She stated . I looked back at him . Now that I think about it he looks oddly familiar like I've seen him somewhere before but I just couldn't seem to wrap my head around it . Ah well I suppose it doesn't matter Clarence is here and that's all that matters . I gleamed . It was now late into the day on set . Welp that's a wrap . After a long day of filming all I wanted to do was kick off my shoes and crawl into bed . Everyone was saying there goodnights as I retrieved my coat . As I was putting my arm into one of the sleeves I heard that same voice . It was Collin .
" So what made you want to be an actress in the first place anyway ? " He was leaning his back on the wall with his arms folded looking back at me . To be quite honest he looked genuinely curious .
" What are you my interviewer ? " I said sarcastically .
" Nah not really not my thing you know? Being forced to ask celebrities the most ridiculous which nobody even asked for to begin with oh yeah who wouldn't want to tune into that surely I wouldn't it ain't worth the time " . He said resting the back of his head on the wall as he pulled a cigarette from out of his pocket lighting the cigarette using a lighter .
" Well I don't think it's ridiculous " . I defended making a disgusted face at the mere smell of cigarettes .
" Not a smoker huh? " . He briefly smirked .
" No I'm not " . I said folding my arms .
" Besides it's hip to be a square " . I cringed on the inside when I said that out loud . Damn it . I thought . Why is a twenty five year old like myself using words such as hip . I mentally face palmed myself . Alright I'll take the big L on this part at least .
" I get it it's quite the nasty habit but then again so is alcoholism " . He said shrugging his shoulders .
" But then again you clearly been living under a rock...still though you haven't answered my question " .
" Why do you care so much anyway? "
" I don't just bored is all "
" Heh well you wouldn't just be asking if you didn't care " .
" But I don't...Tosh'e " . He responded back nodding his head .
" Alright you really want to know "
" Sure why not " . He sighed .
" Well for starters I always imagined myself on the big screen you know making people smile and to become a proud role model to the younger generation by making an impact on there lives even if it's a very small fracture knowing I impacted someone out there would just mean the world to me " . I smiled . Only after I said that that's when I heard Collin laugh yeah you heard that right he was laughing damn it .
" Wow that's gotta be one of the best fucking cover ups I heard in a long time and trust me I heard plenty , next your gonna tell me that some actor trashed a hotel room and blamed it on a fucking gecko " . He continued on laughing holding onto his stomach .
" I'm not making it up I really did mean what I said " .
" Sure you do darling look celebrities think they are impacting the world in some over the top fashion about spreading some corny ass shitty inspirational message to there naive fans and they and the media take it like a fish to freakin water " . He stated straightening his posture walking away before briefly pausing .
" Nobody cares about what they have to say if it's got nothing to do with them but knowing them they don't know when to shut there mouths "
" After all heh what would I know am I right? well who's to say you might take what I said to consideration but then again you probably won't you seem like the stubborn type " . He spoke casually before walking away leaving me completely alone . Welp alright I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt but it's a official I totally hate this guy .
