Homeless to hollywood (Closed for SlippedHalo and moi)

[musicankane]

Tim Garet
age 22
5' 9" Thin, and fit but homeless.

I lost my job, I lost my roommate, I got envicted, I was homeless. All in all not a bad week.

Me and my best friend/roommate had a falling out due to me losing my job, and suddenly I was friendless and homeless. I had a truck, but if I drove it anywhere I'd get a ticket due to a expired registration. But it provided me with a bit of shelter so I guess things could be worst.

I was broke and straving. It had been four days, four days of living off of water from waterfountains and no food. It was no good that I lived near MArina Del REy where they are a ton of padio resturants with people just eating outside teasing me with their money.

I wa walking past a place call C&O Tratoria a little Italian cafe that was known for being a celebrity hotspot. There a saw her, I couldn't remember her name but her face was unmistakable, she played Sarah on the Tv show Forbidden. She had also been in several movies incluing a few that were pretty badass action movies.

I stood outside eyeing her, but more then her, her food. She had a plate of Fetachini Alfredo, my favorite pasta dish. I could smell it, it was unbelievable. I felt my knees weak and trembling, and found myself unable to move.

IC:

Libby was enjoying her rich treat for the week, the fettuccini alfredo was so fattening but she loved the stuff and tried to get some at her favorite restaurant once a week. Her strict diet would not allow her to eat pasta more often even though she wanted to, but she was on contract and 'Forbidden' would not allow her to gain or lose more than ten pounds or her contract would be up for discussion and not in a good way, that would usually mean being fired, or your character being stuck in a wheelchair or coma forever, a soap opera demotion.

Because she felt guilty about her love affair with foods she should not eat she often snuck away without her driver/bodyguard 'Beef', hoping to get away with the indulgence without anyone knowing. As she was about to take a bite she looked up to see some guy staring at her through the window. She wasn't sure what he was eyeballing more, her or her food. SHe waited, hoping he'd go away but her remained, transfixed. It was creeping her out. She called her waiter over to bring the guy in and ask him what he wants. She hoped he wasn't papparazi but she had a feeling he wasn't.

As I was pretending to taste the pasta a man in a tuxedo came up to me. "Excuse me sir could you follow me?" HE asked.

I jumped and looked at him. "Oh, I'm sorry I was just looking I'll leave." I started to turn away but the man spoke up.

"This madam has asked your presence." He said.

I paused. "What?"

HE turned. "Follow me."

He led me to the actresses table and said. "Here he is." He excused himself and left.

I blushed and looked at the pasta then I looked at the woman. "I...uh," I stammered.

 

[slippedhalo]

"You were raised by something other than wolves, right? So, I assume you are aware that staring is very rude and staring at someone while they're eating is extremely rude. What have you got to say for yourself?" asked Libby, furious that even some random stranger off the street could make her feel guilty for eating pasta on her strict diet.

 

[musicankane]

I raise my hand and shook my head. "I'm sorry miss, i didn't mean to stare." My eyes turned down cast. "It's just I haven't eaten anything in four days. I just become homeless." I said, embarressed to be explaining myself to someone so rich and beautiful. A man should be the one who takes care of everything, and here I am staring at people eat, homeless and alone.
I hung my head. "I'm sorry, I leave you to your meal." I spun away.

 

[slippedhalo]

Libby felt instantly like a piece of shit. There was no way she could maintain her appetite now. "Wait!" she called after him. "I'm not hungry and this should not be wasted. This place makes the best pasta. Come over and sit with me. You can have my pasta. Tell me what led you to this situation you're in. You weren't always homeless were you?" she asked, hoping this wasn't a terribly nieve and foolish decision on her part.

 

[musicankane]

He looked at her. "You sure?" When she nodded he wearily sat across from her. She slid the plate of pasta told him and he made in dissappear in seconds. He blushed and looked down at a plate that literally looked like it had been washed.

"I'm sorry, but thank you." He said. She smiled and he began telling her the whole deal of how he became homeless and broke and how he had no money and nothing to his name anymore.

When he was finished, he slid his chair back. "Thank you for the food, I should be going now."

 

[slippedhalo]

The whole time the stranger talked she watched his face. He was quite animated and his eyes were a gorgeous shade. She tried to imagine him less shabby, more cleaned up and thought he could actually be quite handsome if he had the tools to clean up a bit. "You need a job?" she asked before her brain caught up with her mouth.

He turned and looked at her like she was indeed crazy.

"My studio, they are auditioning for some bit roles in the show I'm in. They are looking sor someone to play the driver for Carlo Carlino, the mobster character in the show...it's not much but it's a reoccurring role and if you cleaned up a bit, had ona suit, I think I could picture you in it. Maybe I can help you prepare for an audition." she said, color rising to her cheeks as she realized that preparing him would be more than the typical finding him a monologue and helping him rehearse. This guy needed a shower and a shave, and a new set of clothes, was she actually volunteering these things? Well, it was said, why take it back now? she thought.

 

[musicankane]

I gasped and turned to her. "Really?" I asked leaning my weight against the chair. MY voice held excitement and hope. Then I frowned, "But i don't have a suit, nor can I afford to clean myself up." I told her.

 

[slippedhalo]

Libby shrugged. "I may regret the offer later but, I can help with that.'"

 

[musicankane]

I brightened. "Really? How?" I asked leaning on the back of the chair. My life coul be turning around right before my eyes.

 

[slippedhalo]

"I...guess...you could stay in my guest house for a while. The suite...let my shopper, Elena measure you and she can look for one for you. You can pay me back in installments once you've got some work." she decided giving him everything wouldn't be good but loaning it to him...that teaches responsibility, right? "The guest house has everything you need, even a stocked kitchen and bathroom. We'd share the pool and the grounds to the house." she explained. "It's more like being neighbors than having you stay with me."

 

[musicankane]

I nearly dove over the table and tackled her in hug excited hug. I kept repeating thank you over and over again in realy rapid succession. I finally stepped back and looked at her. "You won't even know I'm there and I'll pay you back for everything including work." I assured her waved my hand as if holding the swear book they use in courtrooms.

 

[slippedhalo]

She winced as he hugged her. He smelled pretty rank. "Well, if you don't get this job you better find another one fast. I'll give you the roof overhead, and a shower and suit, the talent is up to you. But, it's not charity. I do expect payback on this investment." she said, slowly backing away from him.

"You almost finished? I can pay the bill and we can go then."

 

[musicankane]

We left the resturant and got into her Porche, it was pink (that's cute), and she sped off. I had to cluch the handrests to steady myself. She drove it liek a pro though and soon we pulled into this drive that along had to be a quater mile long...ok maybe not THAT long, but it was pretty big. The main house was something else, it reminded me of that movie The Huanting but she led me around the side to a guest house bigger than any place i had ever lived. IT was furnished nicly and had plenty of room for my amp and what little clothing I still had in my broken down truck. Maybe she could give me a lift over there later.

"Wow." I said looking around like I'd died and went to heaven.

 

[slippedhalo]

"Um, I think you can find everything you need. My number at the house is speed dial 1. If you need anythign call me, if you really don't want to piss me off, don't call between 12 am and 8am, ok?" she asked.

 

[musicankane]

He zipped his lips. "You will never know I'm here. Uh, what time is the audition tomorrow?" He asked.

 

[slippedhalo]

"1:30, I Leave to go to the set around 10:30. You can come with me and hang around, prepare if you want...but, um, take a shower first, and shave." suggested Libby. "You never know wo's watching you."

 

[musicankane]

I snapped my fingers. "Good idea. But is there something for me to slip on for bed?" I asked. God sometimes there are times when you feel like a jackass, and I felt like a jackass.

 

[slippedhalo]

Libby shrugged, 'I realy don't know." she went through the closets in the house. There was nothing there but a woman's bathrobe. "I guess we have some shopping to do." she admitted. "I'll have my stylist come by at eight, take your measurements. She can send appropriate stuff for your interview by 9:30 and the rest of what you need we can shop for together in the late afternoon, unless you trust my stylist to get you everything at once?"

 

[musicankane]

I smiled and said. "I've seen you dress, I think your stylist can handle everything. If you don't mind of course. I think I only have the energy for a shower before I pass out." I told her.

 

[slippedhalo]

"Oh, yes, of course." said Libby, realizing the man wanted to be left alone. "Ok then, well, um... goodnight." she said as she made her way back to the door leading to her house beyond the pool.

 

[musicankane]

The next day she brought me a script with the lines I needed to know highlighted. I studied it as they went to the audition. I was very suprised to see she was the one who would cast me, along with the producer of the show. She sat behind a table and motioned toward me. "We will start on page 6." She said looking at him with utter seriousness.

I read from the script trying to use as much emotion as I could. "Well, if I may say so...it would seem the madam would like some space sir."

(line..."Yeah well how can you tell?")

I continued. "I like to consider myself a woman expert. The way she looked and the tone of her voice screams she just needs time."

 

[slippedhalo]

Libby was impressed with how well Tim cleaned up. In his suit he looked quite handsome and smelled great now that he had showered and shaved and had some cologne and deo on. As he read the lines she tried to remain impassive but she was just more impressed with him by the minute. "Ok good, Tim, now let's take it from page fourteen." she ordered. She wanted to seehim get emotional, could he do what was required of the job?

 

[musicankane]

I liked this scene. This was where the guy had to try to save this girl from a building about to blow up.

I pretended to run up to the burning door. "JENNIFER! Where are you? Come on baby, yell, let me know where you are! JENNIFER!" I cried.
