Gail headed to the beach. It was a lovely day. it was fairly warm. Her shoulder length dark brown hair was pulled into a ponytail. A few shorter strands hung down. She was wearing a cute little blue bikini. She found a good spot and placed a blanket on the sand, then placed a folding chair. She popped in the umbrella that she uses beside the chair. immediately, the chair was in shade. She sat in comfortably, and slid on her dark sunglasses.
She popped in her ear buds and turned on her music. Gail began relaxing automatically. She could hear the soft roaring of the ocean before her and she could pick up the brine scent that came off it. Sea gulls squawked above, dive bombing the ocean surface.
She shifted her weight in the chair a little bit. Today was her day off from work. She had hired someone to fill on on her shift at the mechanic's. Granted she owned the garage, she liked to take some days off and just relax and have time for herself.
She made sure her cell phone was on in case Alex needed to call her for some reason. She sighed.
Her mother caused her such stress. She had no idea how to tell her father that her mother was a drug addict. It was going to be extremely difficult to approach the subject. Perhaps she should just get it over with and come out with it.
Sighing again, Gail settled back into the chair.

Leo was walking along the beach since he was enjoying his day off. Working for almost six months on a movie which was going to be release around next month was kind of cool. His movie premiere was like in three weeks and he wasn't sure he was going to it or not yet. In fact he always hated them, shaking hands with other actors/actress was just a downside of it. So Leo was thinking of calling it off, he was really good with lying a little.
Kicking the soft white sand from his feet while he walked, he was enjoying the freedom. His sunglasses were hiding his appearance as he knew what it was like to have like millions of people on your ass. Then the parppazoi would have a field day on spreading lies about some kind love life. The thirty-five year old have really met the right person yet and was still single. Being hot and sexy many women were after his money, but he wanted to fine someone who isn't like that. Which was kind of hard really.
Leo was still walking until he bumped into someone and he dropped his sunglasses. Immedaitely he picked them up and helped the person who fell over as well. I am really sorry are you ok miss? He asked her and hoped she wasn't badly injured as he didn't want to hurt anyone. Unless of course they deserve it, now that was just another story. Leo now waited for the person to reply back and hoped she was mad as well.

Gail felt someone trip over her feet. She slid her glasses down on the bridge of her nose and peered at him over the top. She recognized him from TV and movies. Leo Bailey. Quirking an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just watch where you're going next time." Her tone was indifferent. Celebrities were known to be egostatistical and just full of themselves.
They were like anyone else. Besides that, Gail flinched a bit. He sounded genuinely concerned but then again she didn't trust anyone as far as she could throw them.
"What's a big muckety muck like yourself doing on the beach? Aren't you filming or something?" She asked tilting her head a bit and sliding off her glasses completely so she could look up at him easily. A gentle breeze tugged at Gail's chocolate brown hair, fluttering it around her face. A few families sat scattered around on the beach so it wasn't that crowded where she was. Gail didn't do crowds well. Little kids crying and running around. It was just annoying.
Not that Gail didnt like kids, on the contrary, she loved them. But there were just those days that she couldnt be annoyed with sniffling ankle biters. She kept her hazel eyes on Leo's waiting for him to reply

Leo wasn't like other celebrities who think they were best out there. He was brought up better that that and wanted to show people, that money isn't the only thing. He noticed the girl flinching and immediately back off. He didn't fancy getting kicked, spatted on even sprayed for that matter. Leo was thinking why would a beauitful girl like this one be on the beach all alone. It puzzled him a lot and he was making sure there were no one around with a camera. He didn't want this beauitful girl's life ruined for some stupid gossip.
Leo smiled and nodded as she recognized him straight. Must be one of his fans, as he have been off screen for while, due to a bad car crashed at the time. A stunt for a movie called "last man standing" almost took his life. He had a fractured skull, ruptured spleen, broken ribs and broken back. The doctors were amazed that he survived let alone still walking to this day. Leo was a fighter and he wouldn't give up that easily, though he would refused to to do any movie which involved in those kind of stunts now.
I am on vacation. The filming is complete and in fact I have my open premiere in two weeks but I am going to it. It really crap. You a fan of mind or something? As I haven't been on screen for almost eighteen months now since my accident he explained to her. He never spoke about his accident as it wasn't important, but he was curious on how she would know him. Since I know you are alright I would leave you be now. Again I am very sorry he smiled again, as he limped a little on his right leg, which was perement since the accident.

Gail watched him limp away. She felt resignation briefly.
"Hey wait. Have a seat on my blanket and rest" She said to him sitting up more attentive. The resignation phase flashed out as quickly as it came.
"Why boring old Hollow Falls?" She asked curiously. "Well not really a fan of yours but I have heard of you and seen you on the news."
She shrugged one shoulder. He was certainly handsome that was for sure. He seemed genuine, but she still could not let herself get too close to him just yet. More than likely he had a wife and a family. Why would he be interested in someone as plain as her? More than that, a simple mechanic? She didn't earl three figures, she wasn't pampered, she worked since she was 20. Did he even know what it was like to live a normal life and work for a living? Probably not.
Gail adjusted her bikini to make sure that he wasn't getting an eyeful but then cleared her throat.
"Surely there are more exciting places to go on vacation right?" she implied more, the sun catching her eyes making them appear almost golden bronze.

Hearing the woman calling out to him was shocking enough. Leo haven't had this treatment from common people (as they called them) before. Since he became famous all people wanted was a photograph or a signed picture. True Leo doesn't mind this at all and would be glad to give you those things. But sometimes he would like to have some time to himself. Chill out etc. Seeing this woman wasn';t interested in him cause he was famous and really wanted to be friends to him, made him happy. So turning around he limped back to the blanket which she was sitting on.
Now sitting on the blanket Leo kept watching the sea. He wasn't caring what she was wearing, he was a proper gentleman. Placing his sunglasses back down so she would be more comfortable around him, he watched the waves crashing back and forth. Oh he would love to be that free again. His white jacket and shirt were thin allowing the air to creep through so his skin was able to breath at last. Maybe this girl would like to come to premiere with him. As longs she didn't mind some stupid gossip story in the papers though.
Since you know my name. What is yours miss and how do you feel coming to the movie premiere opening which I am in? That's if you don't mind some lies which the paparazzi make up on the day though he explained and looked at him and hoped she didn't mind coming. It was boring though, but at least she would be treated like a princess and Leo would certainly look after her.
The thirty-five year wasn't married or had any kids. In fact he was divorce since his wife cheated on him. Since catching them in bed, Leo have given up on finding anyone knew. Of course the papers began to print the story out and Leo had no peace. So he moved again, to California and it was wonderful that's for sure. The best move he have made in years.
The reason I came here for my vacation is that I needed somewhere which was quiet and no photographs would be able to follow me around. being famous sucks when you want your privatively that's for sure he chuckled a little and was serious on this one. No matter where you go, the paparazzi are never too far behind you.

Gail quirked an eyebrow at him when he said how it sucked.
"I'm sure that would suck. Having all those people fawning over you" she said dryly.
Was she really hearing this? he was asking her to a premiere! Gail suddenly burst out laughing.
"You're kidding right?" she asked him turning to face him. Gail stood up and gathered her things. She stood in front of him, blocking his view from the ocean. She bent down so that her face was inches from his.
"I don't think so. People like you don't go out with people like me. It's the Circle of life" Gail said slipping her sunglasses on top of her head.
"It was nice meeting you Leo. Don't worry. I won't alert anyone that you're here. Have a nice vacation" she said and began walking slowly back to her car. She opened the back cargo door to her 2012 Honda Pilot, silver. She closed the hatchback.
Before climbing in, she leaned her hip against it and checked her cell phone. Her mother called. She sounded high. Fustrated, she shut off her phone and felt tears forming in her eyes.
Once again her mother wanted 100 dollars for a small bag of Coke. It angered Gail. She hadn't realized a few tears had slid down her cheeks.

Leo was really shocked on how she reacted towards him. Most people would have been thrilled. He doesn't care about this nonsense on how people were brought up. Leo was a nobody when he was young. He went to acting classes which cost lot of money, but still he worked hard to get here now. The girl was obviously in some kind of stress and the thirty-five year old wondered she have been hurt in the past. Leo didn't want to think of some things but he hated abusers and would punch them in their face, if he ever caught that person.
Seeing there wasn't much to do here he got up and limped towards the parking lot. Leo wanted Gail to come with him. He wanted to cheer her up, she was really nice person and didn't pester him or everything. Maybe something drawn them close together, he simple don't know. Seeing she dropped her purse on the floor he went towards her and gave it back. the wind was blowing pretty hard, but it was a mild wind though and his blue eyes looked into hers. Wanting to take the pain away, far away.
Listen I am not like the other guys you have dated before. I would never hurt you, in fact if someone hurt you right now I would hit them to protect you. You may think I am snobby riched actor, looking for something to put on the news. But I am not. In fact I am a nobody like you. I wasn't born famous you know, I was born into a poor neighborhood and used every little money I had to buy my acting lessons. since my accident that almost cost my life, the papers don't bother me anymore. See once you been out of the picture for while your a nobody as well. Come on I drive you back home and wouldn't bother you again if that what you want. Leo meant this as well. If she didn't want anything to do with him after this event then he would leave her alone. So he now waited for her reply, nervously as well.

Gail studied him and listened to his speech. She heard the sincerity in his voice. She found herself nodding.
She locked her car and dropped her keys into her purse. She followed Leo to his car.
She was surprised. Normally people of his statue didn't really come after someone wanting them to go to a premiere with them. It was something Gail never thought possible. She had to silently admit to herself that it was a nice feeling.
When she was seated in the front passenger seat of Leo's car, she watched him climb in and start the car. Gail cleared her throat.
"Sorry. I tend to judge people a little quicker than normal" she said keeping her eyes on the dashboard. She hoped that he didn't hate her for snapping like that.
She rolled down her window and let the cool breeze blow her hair back away from her face. She turned back to Leo.
"is your mother living here in Hollow Falls?" She inquired of him curiously.
Gail's mother lived just outside The Falls. Gail knew that she would probably want to come and move to be closer but that was not something Gail wanted.

Leo smiled heavenly as Gail came around. He wasn't offended as he understood where she coming from. Sure he wasn't abuse, in fact his childhood was a happy one and he would love to be a kid again. His leg needed a lot physiotherapy due to the fact the injury was serve. In fact his accident was on the news and papers for months, until something juicer was more important or stuipd was to be on the stations. Still leo didn't care, he wanted to be an actor for the love of being on stage and having career to help his mother.
Getting in his silver car he placed his seatbelt on. He smiled as she was more relax around him now.Leo would be here if she wanted him to be. He got a piece of paper and written down his cell number and gave it to her. If she ever needed him, all she had to do is call, day or night, he would come to her. Soon as he started the car he drove off towards his house first as he needed to change, and he had some dresses she could borrow if she wanted to.
It's ok. I totally understand. I am a stranger after all. But I am glad you accepted my offer and I would owe you one. Also that's my number so if you like to ring me for help or chat, day or night I would come. Promise. He said with a friendly smile, though he meant it as well.
No my mother lives in Los Angles. I am living in Cali as well, as I said I am here for a vacation, through I am look for a new home. What's the neighbourhood and the people like here? He asked her, as he smiled. While he pulled up to the temporary place he was staying for now. Here we are. I have some dresses you can borrow for the premiere if you want to use them. You don't have to of course. He said as he got out and locked the doors, as he opened the door on his house.
As he opened it his pure black German Shepherd came over and greated him, knocking him down. I am happy to see you too, now down obediently she got off and saw Gail, as she wagged her tail and barked happily at her. Leo got up and brushed himself down don't worry she wouldn't bite you, promise. He said to her, hoped she wasn't scared.

Gail watched as he pulled up to his house. Her eyes widened in aw.
"Wow. You live here?" She asked as she closed the car door behind her. She took in the entire house. I was like a mini mansion. She watched as a black German Shepherd came up to them and greeted them. The dog was wagging her tail at Gail but Gail hesitated.
"I'm sure she won't but I'm not really good around dogs" Gail admitted, carefully skirting around the shepherd. "For Some reason they don't like me much" She said warily watching the dog for signs of attack. While Leo said she wouldn't bite, Gail was still skeptical.
Once inside the house, her awe elevated even more. Leo pointed her to a bedroom that housed a huge wardrobe. She began slowly going through the dresses. They were really beautiful, things Gail would never be able to afford in real life. It would cost her a whole weeks worth of pay to afford one dress. Here there were dozens.
Her eyes landed on a lovely light blue one with spaghetti shoulder straps and little embroided glittery flowers along the hem and neckline. She carefully tried it on. It fit her body nicely hugging her curves. She had to admit, she looked nice.
She found Leo.
"Um how does this dress look?" she asked nervously smoothing her hands over it and looking up at Leo anxiously
