She took a greedy sip. “God, I love coke,” she said and gave a tiny burp. ‘The drink, not the drug,’ she clarified in case he was a reporter.
“What’s the audition for?” he asked although he already knew the answer.
“Some fucking film set in Italy that I won’t get,” she said. “I’m not nearly talented enough, I don’t even know how I got this far,” she laughed. “Anyway if I don’t get it there’s some action thing in the works, although I don’t really want to do it,” she mused.
“Why not?” he asked carefully.
It was her turn to shrug, “Well, you know action is hard to break out of and I would love the chance to do some real acting with good actors,” she said her words tumbling over each other.
She had no idea why she was rambling to this stranger but she thought she knew his face from somewhere, although she was notoriously bad with faces and names, much to her pushy mother’s horror.
TG nodded as she kept talking and drinking his Coke. She was tiny, like a little doll but she had a fierceness when she spoke that belied her physical frame. TG found himself mesmerised by her and barely listened as she spoke, instead entranced by her mouth and the way her eyes danced and the way she scratched her shoulder and had a tiny drop of Coke on her bottom lip.
“Hey,” he heard the casting assistant and he turned to her and nodded.
“Well good luck,” he said, smiling at the girl.
“Thanks, I’m gonna need it.” She laughed and handed him back his nearly empty can. “Fuck, sorry.” She grimaced at her own bad manners.
TG waved it away, “Finish it,” he said and walked inside and sat in the room and waited.
“Calypso Gable,” said the assistant a few minutes later and she did a double take when she walked through the door.
“You?”
“Me.” he said and was surprised by the flipping of his stomach as she entered the room. “Hi, I’m TG, the director.” she shook his hand but clearly looked uncomfortable.
“I’m really sorry about my bogarting your Coke and talking too much,” she stumbled. Diana watched TG who blushed slightly.
“It’s fine. Everything that was said out there is off the record.” he offered.
Calypso sat straight in her chair and looked around nervously.
“Shall we do the sides?” he asked and Calypso turned to the camera and went through the scene. TG gave her some direction, which she responded to well and her performance improved. She was luminous on camera but not as known as the other actresses auditioning with only one feature behind her and a hit TV show.
TG watched her as she spoke and moved in front of the camera and he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. She was good but not brilliant he decided.
