“No,” I shook my head, firm but calm. “I have no intention of hiding my revenue. I’ll talk to an accountant, or maybe a tax lawyer, to structure my income better, but definitely not hiding from the IRS.” Michael leaned back on the couch, one arm draped lazily over the side as he shrugged. “Everybody does it, Noah,” he said in a casual tone. “That’s how all these Hollywood stars live their luxurious lives despite earning millions.” I frowned, mulling over his words for a bit.

- 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…

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…

- I love motorbikes. I wasn’t rich, per se, but I had five of them in my little garage. My mom used to hate that I took one of my babies wherever I went instead of driving a car like normal people. Fuck normal people. They don’t know the joy of riding long distances in the fresh air, all the way out into the countryside, without a helmet, as the wind caresses your hair. Aah. I must have closed my eyes while riding because the next thing I knew, my baby had run over a boulder. The bike came to…

- 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…

- “Listen,” Taylor turned to me with utmost sincerity. “Have you ever worked with or served any celebrity before?” I shook my head, not wanting to tell him about Amanda Bynes. The less your employer knows about your other jobs, the better it is. “Then get ready,” he warned me. “We have multiple reservations this afternoon for the VIP section, and we’re a little short on the staff, so you’ll have to take over the duty. I guess you are experienced enough now to handle the big clients.…

- AN: Before you start reading, keep in mind that this story has not been edited, so there may be many more grammatical or factual mistakes than you’d find in my other works. ________________________ “So it finally happened, huh?” I said as I opened my eyes again. The first thing to note was that the ever-present ache in my chest was finally gone. Another thing was that it didn’t hurt at all to stand on my own two feet like it did for the majority of my life. Then I finally took in my…
