week’s coverage doesn’t account to bad publicity. The gas station incident wasn’t your fault and you handled it nicely. The photo on the other hand means we’ll have to get a similar image into the movie so we don’t disappoint any fans. You will obviously be playing Mr Thomas Smith. I think you’ve worked with a few of the others before so that shouldn’t be a problem. I think you’ve met our Missy Jones. It’ll be her first time on the big screen so we want you to help with her acting skills and give her the rundown on how it all works. You Brits got to stick together” I signed the contract and took the main information about filming. I was given a phone number to arrange a meeting with the Missy Jones actress and sent packing. It wasn’t until I was on my way home that I read the name next to Missy Jones was Kaitlyn Fox. I went for a swim while I decided what to do. Eventually I decide to grow a pair and just dialled the number. “Hello, Jake speaking.” A deep voice answered. “Hello, it’s Jamie Stark. Is Kaitlyn there?” “She’s busy. Can I help?” “I’m calling about the movie. She’s Missy Jones right?” “Look, she’s tired. Can this wait?” “I’m supposed to help her, since she hasn’t acted before. I need to arrange a meeting for when she get to LA.” “She’ll be in LA on Tuesday, so meet her on Wednesday morning. Text the details.” “She’ll be jetlagged, so we should probably make it after lunch…” “I know Kaitlyn. She won’t sleep until she gets over her nerves so Wednesday Morning it is. Bye.” *** “So tomorrow Kaitlyn Fox is coming here. To your house. To spend hours alone with you. And you’re in a bad mood why?” Ryan demanded over dinner. He arrived this morning and had made himself at home already, claiming the larger guest room and stealing my pizza that I cooked for lunch. “Because her boyfriend is an arsehole. He wouldn’t let me talk to her on the phone and made all the arrangements with demands to me and completely ignore her. I think he caught me checking her out when she was on the show.” “I thought you said she was too young for you?” “She is. That doesn’t mean I didn’t look. I know she’s eighteen so it’s not like I’m a complete pervert. Don’t look at me like that; you wouldn’t be making a big deal about her coming over if you hadn’t too.” “Did you think that maybe I’m a fan of her music?” “Nope. You like her music, everyone does. You’re excited to meet her tomorrow because she’s hot. Besides you already admitted she was hot last time. ” “Agreed. So I can stay while you’re working?” He made air quotes. “You can meet her. She won’t want you here while we’re practising, she gets nervous easily. How did your last week go?” “It was good. Think I aced an exam or two, will be lucky to pass some of them. I hooked up with this girl in my business class. I had a good time, even called her back. I’m taking her out when I get home, for like a proper date. I need to think of something to do though. I don’t want to be cliché.” “Un-cliché. So that rules out dinner, movie, drinks and pretty much every other idea I have. Well you have three weeks at least. I’m pleased for you.” I was happy that Ryan had found someone. His last girlfriend had been a complete bitch and I can only assume she was good in the bedroom to have lasted so long. Ryan is the type of guy that throws himself into a relationship. He finds things to do on dates and meets the parents, that sort of thing i.e. the complete opposite of me. “I spoke to your Dad before I left. He said you never saw them.” “Couldn’t. I had to fly out here early for the meeting with the producer. Graham suggested I send them a basket.” “A basket? Was he high?” “I never know with him. Were they cool?” “Your mum was a bit disappointed and your dad expects you to have entertainment when they come
