A Different Kind of Drama

"What is this marked just as 'reading'?" I enquire of my manager.

He looks over my shoulder and then looks at his phone.  "That is the first reading for that drama you asked to be included in" he answers

"Why haven't I been told before now, that I got a part in it? Which part do I have?" I ask

"I haven't got all the info here.  I'll look into it and let you know" he answers

I nod and then blow out a breath when I have to get ready for the end of the photo shoot.

I know my body is at its best, I've been working hard at it for the last 2 years.  I have on a water proof jacket open showing a little of my tones body.  With surfer shorts and leather sandals on my feet.

After my last drama took off, I've been asked to do more modelling jobs like this one. 

"Noam if you could turn and tilt your head up just looking back at the camera with your eyes" the photographer instructs "that's it" he says clicking away.

"Great that should do" he says and his assistant comes up to me "if you could just give him 5 minutes to check them.  If he's happy, we can call it a day" he explains.

I nod my head and go back to sit down off to the side.  I take out my phone and laugh at the message my friend has sent me.  It's of his actor Fox.  Pete became a manager when he couldn't seem to get the break he needed as an actor.

He is now Fox's manager and as we are near the same age we bump into each other a lot.  Fox has been linked with both male and female lovers and doesn't seem to care about it.

I am careful who my name is linked with and try to keep my private life private.  "That's great everyone, thanks for your hard work" is called and I get up and go back to the make shift changing room.  I change into my own clothes and go out and meet Sam my manager.

"Julie has asked to see you at the agency" he informs me.

I roll my eyes as we head out.  Julie is in charge of my bookings at the agency and she seems to think this gives her a right to poke into my personal life and take up my free time, whenever she feels like it.

I climb into the van and but my head back against the head rest and close my eyes.  "If I'm in her office for more than 30 minutes call my phone" I instruct Sam "yep, I've got your back" he replies.

I rest while we drive towards the agency.  Then put my game face on when we arrive and I have to wave at fans and smile before entering the building.  I go up to her office and I'm told to go straight in.

Julie stands and comes around her desk.  I wave and sit down before she can try and hug me.  "How did the shoot go?" she asks "as you can see it finished early" I answer.  

She sits on the edge of her desk in front of me, You've been sent the first three episodes of the drama you asked to be included in.  I must say I was surprised" she says

"Do you have them?" I ask and she sighs, reaching behind her and gives them to me.

"Was that all?" I ask and she sighs a little more loudly "Noam I'd like for you to believe that you can trust me" she says

"This is my free time and I don't get much of it.  So, if that is all, I'd like to go" I say waiting for her reply.

"Fine, enjoying the rest of your evening and I hope the reading goes well" she says and I jump up from my sit and out the door before she has finished.

I wave bye to her receptionist and then run down the stairs and back out to Sam waiting in the van.  I wave again to the fans this time with a genuine smile on my face.
