“And do you live in this building like your father does?”
“Yep. Free lodging.”
“Ever better. This place is gorgeous. You’re a lucky little lady.”
“Thanks,” Lucy smiled.
“What’s fun to do around here? Do you just sit around all day?”
“I usually use the internet or listen to music. I’m also an avid television and movie watcher. I like watching, you know, typical stuff for girls my age.”
Kinsley raised an eyebrow. “Anything involving a certain celebrity who’s standing right in front of you?”
“I’m a huge fan of yours,” Lucy gushed. “I’m sorry, I promised my dad I wouldn’t mention this, but it’s the truth.”
“Is it?”
“Yeah. Sorry to sound like a fangirl. I know you don’t want to be bothered.”
“It’s alright,” the actress smiled. “I don’t mind chatting with my hardcore fans. Especially when they’re cute like you.”
Lucy blushed again. “Thank you. If you need anything else, please let me know. I’d literally do anything for you. This is like a dream come true for me.”
This time, the look in Kinsley’s eyes sharpened as she looked at the innocent young Lucy.
“Anything, huh?”
“Yep.”
“You know, we’ve got an efficient film crew here. But we could always use extra hands. Are you interested in anything like that?”
Lucy’s eyes widened. “Really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Sounds like a cool offer, but I literally have no experience with this sort of thing. I don’t want to ruin your movie with my clumsy presence.”
“Nonsense. Come back to my room tomorrow at 8 am. We’ll work something out. I may have a few ideas for you.”
There was a firmness in the actress’s voice. ‘No’ was not an option. Whatever the actress wanted, she got. She wanted Lucy. And it was done.

That night. Lucy had explained everything to her father. He was skeptical at first, wondering if Lucy had been bothering the actress. But she insisted that she hadn’t.
As she laid in bed that night, all Lucy could think about was her idol. It was a dream come true. Never in her wildest dreams could she have ever imagined being so close to a famous celebrity.
She thought about the next meeting with Kinsley and what that would entail. Helping to make an actual movie? No way. Could it be? Wow.
The whole thing made her anxious. She wished she could confide in her friends about the whole situation, but that was against the rules.
All she could do was wait and see what Kinsley had in mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning. Lucy woke up early and fixed her appearance. She wore a little makeup and tied her hair in a ponytail. She didn’t want to appear too formal, yet she didn’t want to look too casual either.
At 7:55 am, she waited on the 5th floor until it was time, then she knocked.
Kinsley was freshly showered, wearing a thin silk robe, hair recently dried, and her face was bare.
“I’m so glad you’ve made it,” the actress smiled. “Come in.”
Lucy nervously entered the room of her idol. Butterflies were in her stomach. She tried to act casual. In her wildest fantasy, she secretly hoped to become friends with the actress.
“You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about you,” the actress said. “I think you’re a hardworking and dedicated person. And I like your attitude. Quirky people are fun to be around.”
“That means a lot. I always try my best.”
“I mean it,” Kinsley asserted. “You have a personal touch in everything you do. You make me feel like I’m a VIP.”
Lucy smiled, “Thanks again. Plus it’s easy to do, since you’re literally a very important person.”
“Have you thought about my offer?”
“Definitely. I’d love to assist in any way possible.”
Kinsley thought for a moment. “Why don’t you sit in front of the dresser mirror? Let me have a good look at you. Then we’ll discuss it.”
It was a firm offer and Lucy was elated (although she tried her best to hide her emotions). She sat down in front of the dresser and faced the mirror. Kinsley stood behind her and they looked at the mirror together.
Kinsley rubbed her hands through the girl’s hair and undid the ponytail.
“You have many attractive qualities,” Kinsley noted. “Smooth hair. Soft skin. Delicate facial features. And I like your personality too.”
Lucy blushed, “You’re sweet.”
“What’s a pretty girl like you doing trapped in a hotel all day? Don’t you have a date?”
“Not at the moment.”
“But your father allows you to bring boyfriends over, right?” Kinsley asked.
“Sure, he doesn’t mind. But it’s been a while since I’ve done that.”
Kinsley continued stroking the girl’s hair. “Oh? And what does that mean? I’m sure you have no trouble finding boyfriends. So there must be another reason.”
“It’s complicated. I guess I’m still figuring things out.”
Lucy saw the actress smiling as they both looked in the dresser mirror. It was a sly smile which suited Kinsley’s beautiful face.
“I know exactly how you feel at this age,” the actress said.
“You do?”
Kinsley picked up a hairbrush and began to brush the girl’s hair.
“Sure. I’m a human being, just like everyone else. And to put it bluntly, many women question their sexuality at some point. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
Lucy gave a slow nod. “It’s so weird hearing you say this. It’s easy to forget that celebrities are just like everyone else.”
The actress bent down and brought her lips to the girl’s ear.
“Our secret,” Kinsley whispered.
Lucy smiled as they both looked in the mirror. “Our secret.”
“Speaking of secrets,” Kinsley said, standing upright to brush the girl’s hair again. “Let’s discuss my movie. What do you know about it?”
“Not much. Just that it’s a horror movie and the film crew added a bunch of old furniture to make this place look old and rustic.”
“Is this exciting for you?”
“Oh yeah,” Lucy acknowledged. “I love movies.”
“Have you ever seen The Shining.”
“God yeah. The ‘all work no play’ scene is one of the greatest scenes in film history, in my humble opinion. Overall, it’s a true masterpiece.”
“I’m glad you think so,” Kinsley replied with an amused tone. “Because we’re making something similar to that.”
“Sounds awesome. I have no doubt it’ll be great.”
“I’d have to agree. Le Chifere wants to make something along the lines of The Shining and Coppola’s Dracula movie. So it’s basically a psychological horror film with a strong sexual undertone.”
Lucy nodded. “I can only reiterate that this sounds totally awesome. I’ve always been an admirer of Le Chifere’s work.”
The actress put the hairbrush down and rested her hands on the girl’s shoulders. They looked in the mirror together and gazed at their reflections.
“You could be my personal assistant for the next few weeks. You would be tasked with special duties to enhance my acting performance for this role.”
“I’m speechless,” Lucy replied, with tears nearly forming. “If you seriously want me to be your assistant, I’d love to do it. You’re the best.”
“I’ll do anything for them, if they do anything for me. I’ll financially compensate for your time, too.”
Lucy stood and gave her idol a hug. It was a long and tender embrace.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement. It was straightforward and required that Lucy keep everything confidential regarding her interactions with Kinsley.
She had no issues signing it.
For the rest of the day, Lucy got to watch as Kinsley filmed a few scenes. The process was fascinating. It took a long time for the movie cameras and lighting to be set up. Each acting scene had to be done multiple times to ensure that it was perfect.
Lucy’s father wasn’t around. He was too busy running the hotel. Plus he wasn’t very interested in the filming process.
But for Lucy, it was a spellbinding experience.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning. The private meeting was set for 6:30 am on the 3rd floor of the hotel. It was the room where part of the movie was being filmed.
When Lucy arrived, the door was slightly open and Kinsley had been waiting.
“Welcome to our movie,” Kinsley smiled. “Please, close the door.”
Lucy entered and closed the door. She looked around and marveled at how the room had been transformed.
The two women exchanged pleasantries for the morning. It was short and simple, and there was still a slight shyness from Lucy.
