There was nothing too amazingly interesting being the assistant to celebrities. That is, of course, until I began working for Johnny Depp. He always seemed to land the best roles, give award-worthy performances, and he'd never once let the fame go to his head. But above all, he was achingly gorgeous with his long brown and blonde hair, big brown eyes, and toned tattooed body. He was perfect.
Everyday, though, was like an endurance contest. How long would I be able to keep myself from making a pass at him or touching him in an "inappropriate" way? Sometimes it was like he was tempting me to do so when he asked for shoulder massages or back rubs or rehearsing a scene where his character got considerably close to a female character. I didn't mind, of course, what sane woman would?
I entered the trailer where Johnny was getting his makeup and hair done for his next scene and I took a seat next to him. He said nothing to me and his face was long. He wasn't angry; he was sad. I didn't want to ask why while the woman who was doing his hair was still in the room, so I waited patiently for her to leave.
"Mr. Depp, what's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me.
"It's Vanessa..." he started. I cringed at the name of his girlfriend. "She and I... are... going through..."
"What?" I pressed.
"A dry spell." I raised my eyebrows and the first thought that came to mind was 'what the hell is wrong with this chick' assuming that dry spell meant they hadn't had sex in a while.
"Why's that?" I wondered.
"I don't know." He sounded angry now. "She's just never in the mood or she gives me some other lame excuse." I felt bad for him because every man (and woman) needs sex, without a doubt. I wasn't going to ask how long it had been, I could tell it was at least over a month for a man to be this depressed.
"What can I do?" I asked, smiling. He looked at me and tried to smile, but he failed, and he didn't answer. "How 'bout a massage?" He smiled a bit more and nodded his head. I stood from my chair and walked behind him, positioning my hands underneath the robe he was wearing. I rubbed his shoulders roughly (the way he liked it) and he moaned lowly. What happened next was probably as surprising to him as it was to me. His hand reached up and grasped mine.
