Every Extra wants one of two things; to either finish up filming and go home, or to do such a good job in the background that they catch the eye of either the director or actor and are able to jumpstart their career. Ophelia aka Oppie, was one of the least enthusiastic extras. She'd been to a couple sets before and although she always enjoyed herself, this particular filming was happening on the most complicated of days. British actor Theo James was having the time of his life on the set; his second film in America and he had the amazing opportunity to work with THE Richard Gere. Listed as one of the hottest men in Britan, he knew he looked good. Some of the other Extras on set were giving him the eye and although he was flattered, he knew work relationshionships, even those as brief as a night, would never do. But while working on the club scene, a curvy mixed Extra down on the floor caught his eye, and all his notions of self-restraint were thrown right out the window. Oppie is thrown into the cutthroat world of acting practically overnight and Theo James is the one to blame. What is a girl to do when her world is turned upside down by a handsome British man? Fall in love? But when their worlds collide, and like polar sides of magnets, yanks them apart, will they be able to break free of their past and start anew?

When I look into his eyes, I don't see perfection. I don't see a love story that would necessarily be something people would see on a big screen and dream about.

I am engaged to the most incredible man, Ben Simmons, a basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers. My life has always been so structured, hectic, and sophisticated. He is my breath of fresh air, my escape. We are beginning our journey together with a new lifestyle in a new state. I welcome you to come along.
