This is the story of a girl who had nothing. Not a love in the world. Rejected by her friends and family. She had no other than herself to keep her company. Amanda Bennet was her name, she was the sweetest. Most kindest girl you could ever meet. Passing back and fourth in her apartment building. She was clearly nervous. Omg, I am soo late, what am I going to tell my boss, that the bus ditched me.
Clearly that wouldn’t convince him. She hurried to the bedroom to get into her work clothes. Grabbed something to eat and hurried out the front door of her apartment, grabbing a cab. What can I do for you ma’am the man asked her. I need to get to 4th and main please she told him. Well hop on in and I’ll get you there as quick as possible he told her. Stopping outside of the golems actress studio, she hurried inside, hopeing she wasn’t as late as she had thought she was. A woman stepped out from the counter clearly desturbed. You were suppose to be here 5 minutes ago Amanda!!! I know and I’m sorry I’m late. You either come here on time or don’t bother to even come at all!!
Yes ma’am. Now go to the office. Jason would like to have a word with you. She hurried to her bosses office, and there he was waiting for her at his desk. Ah, miss Bennet. So nice of you to join me.
As you may know, I have something I would like to discuss with you.
I am moving you up the ranks, you will be performing in my studio.
I have observed your talents quite closely and believe you fit the bill perfectly Mrs Bennet. She knods her head. Thank you I will do my best to please you. I am confident that you will. In the meantime I will be teaching you the actress life. Things you need to know in order to be a good actress. First we will start with some speech practises. We need you to be fit so we both will be attending the fitness gym in downtown. And you must be able to act with feeling, you always must put your soul into the story. It makes it realistic and beautiful, but I have not told you everything. I to will be moving myself up the ranks of actress. Our first role will be about a homeless man who has nothing not even family to care for him, and a girl comes along and changes his life with her kindness. It sounds quite wonderful I’m sure everyone would love it. Yes but we must make this the most unforgettable experience. We want the crowd begging for more.
We want them to be fascinated from the world of love, and thats where we will come in. I will be playing john. The homeless man. And you will be playing Jane, a rich but also kind person, and you don’t have to worry. I will be there for you every step of the way. We will be starting today. Let me take you to the stage and we will begin. He extends his hand to her, and she takes it in her own. He helps her on the stage. He’s kind and gentle and if she makes a mistake he corrects her kindly. You are doing great Amanda. He tells her. Now for the finishing scene. The kiss. She smiles and knods her head, and he extends his hand to her. Taking it gentally in her own. He gentally pulls her against him, holding her waist with care, lifting her chin up towards him, as she gazes back at him with bright beautiful eyes. He leans in for the finishing kiss. The kiss was like nothing shed ever experienced. It was like something out of a fairy tail. Gentally pulling his lips back from her own he smiles. You did a wonderful job today Mrs Bennet. I am very pleased with your acting. We will continue this tomorrow. In the meantime I have some business I need to attend to. I will see you tomorrow at 8:00 sharp. Good day Mrs Bennet. As he walks away, she exits the building, calling a cab. On her way home she is filled with love and passion. She can’t forget what happened today. She exits the car and walks up to her apartment door, and walks in having a seat in the couch for a few. Having rested. She then gets up and makes dinner. The aroma flowing through the room. Once finished she set at the table and eats, taking the last bite she gets up and heads to the sink, turning on the water an washing the dishes she had dirtied. She walks to the couch and plops down. Falling asleep on the couch. The next day she hurries to the studio. Once through the doors she is greeted by the reseptionist. Ah how nice. Your finally here on time for once. I see my words had quite the effect on you didn’t they Mrs bennet? Knodding her head she walks to the stage and as always Jason in right there waiting for her. Smiling he helps her on stage. Hello again Mrs Bennet. We will start from where we left off. He helps her all along the way. Correcting her posture. Her accent and so on. Right down to the ending scene, and once again she nailed it. Impressing Jason. Mrs Bennet? Yes set. Would you like to accompany me tonight. I am free tonight and I would like to spend my time with you if you are willing that is. I would love that. I’m glad to hear that. I will be by your apartment tonight at 7:00 to pick you up. Until then Mrs Bennet. Walking away, he looks back and gives her a gental smile. Smiling then looking away, clearly flattered by the man. She can’t believe Jason invited her to spend some time with him. She thought. Of all of the women he could have chosen. Why me? She wondered. I hope I will soon find out. She steps out of the studio hurrying back to her apartment to get ready for her date with Jason. I want to look good tonight so I think I will go with with this black cocktail dress.
She slips in on. Putting a little makeup on as well as some perfume. The she waits impationtly. At the front door. Suddenly she hears a gental knock on her door. Opening it she finds Jason standing there with a smile on his face. Looking back at her as if she looked like that of an angel sent down from heaven to comfort him. He greets her with the outmost respect a d holds his hand out to her. She takes it in her own and he walks her down the stairs to his black sports car. You are looking wonderful tonight Amanda. Looking back at him. She thanks him giving him a gental smile. Where would you like to go? I’m not sure I really havent gotten out much lately. Well in that case. How bout I take you on a little yachet cruise? She smiles, oh that would be just wonderful Jason. Nothing would make me happier. Its good to see a smile on your face. I’ve noticed you’ve been down lately. What’s wrong if you don’t mind me asking. Well my life is quite complicated really. My family is against my passion for acting. They believe its just a waist a time. And for my friends, well my job at the studio has ended our friendship. I’ve wanted to act ever sense I was a little girl. It was always a passion of mine. I wanted nothing more then to be an actress. I am sorry to hear that. Its not my place to say this but they should except your desition. Yeah well maybe someday they will see.
Well enough of this, what about you Jason? Where did you get the love for acting? Well the love of acting was inherited from my mother and father, they were very famous acters once and I always wanted to be on stage doing what they were doing. I worked hard everyday, with a little help from them, and well. It lead me here. Sadly they passed away shortly after I got the job at golems studio. I’m soo sorry. I’m sure they would be soo very proud of you. He looks back at her smiling. I’m sure they are. Looking out his side window he speaks. We’re here. He parks his car opens his door and walks over to the passenger side. Opening the door he takes her hand in his. They walk together down to where the yachet is. He helps her up the ramp. Watch your step amanda. Would wanting you falling into the water. Its quite cold at this time of night. Once on board he takes her to the front of the yachet. Here Amanda. Have a seat. She sits down with him along side her and they looking out over the ocean watching in fascination. This is my favorite place in the world. My mother took me here quite often. It was our little secret place to get away from all the stress. I’m glad I get to share it with you Amanda. I’m sure my mother would have loved you. She looks at him smiling. What was she like? Your mother? She was just like you. Kind hearted, gentle, fearless, and incouraging, she never to no for an answer. She sounds like she was quite wonderful. You would have loved to meet her. He gentally brushes his fingers against her hand. She looks back at him with longing in her eyes. She intwines her fingers with his. Your a very beautiful woman Amanda. He gentally carcasses her cheek. Leaning in for a gental passionate kiss his lips gentally touching hers. He holds her in his arms. He picks her up and takes her to the private room he rented on the yachet. Opening the door he takes her to the bed and gentally lays her down, that was a night she would not soon forget. It quickly became the best night of her life.
To be continued.
