The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

I wasn’t suddenly rich, but not having to worry about rent and utilities went a long way in helping me breathe a little easier. And what better way for a son of Poseidon to unwind than to dive in…

- As I walked out of the audition room, I noticed that everyone else had left, leaving just the sexy redhead receptionist behind, the same one who was currently avoiding looking at me. “Hey, Paige!” I greeted her, stopping in front of her desk. When she didn’t even look up, I added, “Still mad at me, huh? Well, I just wanted to tell you that I lost the role, so that I won’t be coming here anymore.” That did the trick of shocking her enough that she forgot she was mad at me. “What do…

- “You are very pretty, Julie,” I said honestly to the girl sitting beside me. Julie blushed visibly before ducking her head. “Oh, come on. Don’t use one of your lines on me.” “I’m not,” I insisted. “If I were using a line, I would say something like, ‘Are you sure you’re not a fallen angel? Because you have landed right into my heart.’” Julie laughed beautifully, and all her nervousness from before vanished instantly. “That wasn’t half bad,” she complimented. “I…

- After mulling over the revised script for two straight days, I finally accepted that it was inevitable for me to take on mature roles with scenes that may be questionable at best, and entirely unnecessary at worst. It was bound to happen, given both the era I was working in and the kinds of films I was drawn to. I never had much interest in movies aimed at younger audiences anyway. Aside from a few major blockbusters, there were only a handful of exceptions, and even those were rare. With that reluctant…

AN: On public demand, I have changed the names of the twins to Atlas and Damian. This is final. _________________________________ I held the little baby close to my chest for the first time, and without anyone saying a word, tears filled my eyes. The world seemed too narrow to the warm weight in my arms. The lingering smell of baby products on his skin and the impossibly soft rhythm of his breathing against my heart were intoxicating. Atlas and Damian had finally grown enough that we were allowed…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

- “Alice, will you give me a break? I need some alone time with my thoughts,” Scarlett grouched, her voice edged with irritation as she shifted uncomfortably on the couch. Alice just chuckled and shook her head. “Troy has told me in no uncertain terms that I can’t leave you alone unless he tells me himself. It’s for your own safety, Scarlett. I can be quiet as a mouse, and you won’t even notice my presence.” Sometimes, Scarlett found it difficult to decide whether she loved Troy or hated…

- One moment I was lifting Emily into the air, the next she was trying to attack me with everything she had. “Put me down!” she cried, panic sharp in her voice. Her hands turned into frantic, metaphorical claws, swiping wildly and coming within an inch of scratching my face clean off. So, of course, I put her down. The instant her feet touched the ground, she curled in on herself like she was trying to disappear, then bolted off the set without a word. She didn’t even pause to explain what had…

- May 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA I held the phone close to my ear as the man on the other side explained how things stood. “We’ve finished pre-production on , and we’ll begin shooting next week,” Tobias said, his tone almost clinical. “Lily Collins has been cast in the lead role, opposite Henry Cavill as the prince, with Charlize Theron playing the evil stepmother. We’ve even cast seven real life dwarf actors as the dwarves. Once filming begins, , , , and will follow shortly after, in that…
