“You so should. Then we can go surfing together!” I had won the kid over, easy-peasy. Now his mom just needed to come on board, which seemed to be the hardest part. But slowly, I could break down her walls. It would work. It had to work.
The sun was just about to hit the ocean, so there wasn’t much point of me diving in. Instead I took my sandals off and walked along the shore, aware that there were people taking pictures of me the whole way. I didn’t pay them any mind, but then it clicked in my head.
Maybe that was something Alessandra had an issue with—the fame. She wouldn’t want to be in every magazine as my play toy, let alone her son getting caught up in the mix. Stuff like that could cause problems, that I knew from experience.
But how was I going to keep that from happening? I was who I was. I enjoyed my life; I loved my job. It was my passion to act, bringing happiness to people for the cost of a movie ticket and maybe some popcorn.
Figuring it was time to head back to my little cottage, I thought about an addition to my new game plan of winning Alessandra.
Maybe her whole offer to help with my disguises could come into play. She can’t complain about being in the limelight with me if no one knows it’s me. Could be fun.
So many thoughts were running through my head. I would make this work.
After a dip in the pool, and I was all cleaned up, I relaxed on the couch and popped in a movie. I loved movies. I didn’t just enjoy making them, I truly loved watching them. I love watching the acting, and knowing what they went through to create that part. I love watching the story happen. Movies were something that made my mind go blank, and allowed me to be in the moment to enjoy them. Not many things had that effect on me. Before I knew it, I woke up with my alarm. It was time to make some magic happen. And by magic, I mean make Alessandra like me.
