I'm Jason Connors, I use to just be the average writer down at the Daily News, but ever since my very public relationship with Natalie Portman, I had been turned into a full time celebrity interviewer. Well, actually, in truth I was briefly fired but when Natalie offered to give me the names of several hot shot celebrities, I was back in the game, this time I'm a celebrity interviewer.
*
I was half asleep at my desk when Natalie Portman walked in and threw a folder in my lap; this was seriously becoming a regular occurrence. I looked around a bit dazed before I got my bearings.
'You know, we're not dating any more, so you should actually give me your key to my apartment back,' I said drowsily.
'I see, we're not going out but sex is still on the table.'
'Hey, you came on to me,' I said defensively.
'Oh, get over yourself Jason. I got you another interview.'
I sat up straight and put the folder in front of me not yet opening it.
'It's not another one of those "Days of Our Lives" retards is it? Ed actually rejected those articles and I actually had to sell them to some other shitty newspaper'
Crap, dodgy narrating by me. I should mention that after my interview with Kate Bosworth, Natalie got me a string of interviews with all these B- grade celebrities from mid- day TV shows.
'Yeah, sorry about those. And who the hell is Ed?'
'Oh, he's the new Editor at the Daily News. Back when I worked there, everyone made fun of him because he was 65 and only the assistant editor while the actual editor was only 40 years old.'
'Ed the editor?'
'Ed the editor.'
Natalie just shrugged and then pointed at the folder she had given me.
'You gonna open that?'
'Sure why not.'
I opened the folder half expecting another B- grade celebrity who thinks they're God's gift to Hollywood. But instead I was pleasantly surprised.
'Michelle Monaghan, know her?' Natalie asked.
'Know her? I just watched Mission Impossible III last night.'
'Yep, she's quickly becoming famous.'
'Natalie, you really came through. Do you know personally?'
'Met her a few times. She's really nice and single I might add so here's another chance for you.'
I paused for a moment trying to think what she meant by that before finally concluding, she knew what happened with me and Kate Bosworth.
'Kate told you didn't she?'
'I told you, me and Kate are friends. She even worse at lying then you.'
'You angry?'
'More surprised then anything. I mean you came over to my place, fucked me and then went to Kate Bosworth's and worked your charm and fucked her as well.'
'Well I wouldn't say it was my charm that did it.'
'What do you mean?'
The cat's out of the bag I thought.
'Well she took some pills with alcohol and as a result, she wasn't exactly, how should I say, herself.'
Natalie looked shocked and as if she was ready to grab my pen and stab me with it.
'You drugged her?!'
'I didn't drug her. But she came on to me.'
'You should have resisted.'
'She said she'd shouted rape,' I said defensively.
'Ever considered that when she was lucid she would retract the statement?'
'But then her reputation would be fucked up.'
'What ever helps you sleep at night Jason. Anyway, I gotta run, things to do, people to see.'
She stood up to walk away and I immediately ran after her wrapping an arm around her waist. She lowered her head and gave a tired laugh. I whispered into her ear.
'We're talking about me and Kate doing it, but we've barely talked about me and you.'
'I thought we were over.'
'Well we kinda had sex.'
'And your hand is quite suggestively moving closer and closer into my pants.'
'You're not stopping me.'
I slid my hand into her jeans and wrapped my thumb around the elastic of her panties.
'I could very easily just walk out the room leaving you with nothing but an erection.'
I smiled and ran my hands over the front of her panties feeling the heat from inside and the slight mound of her pubic hair.
'Then why don't you, the door's right there. You said it yourself, we're not dating.'
I slowly felt her panties moisten and I looked over her shoulder and down at my hand inside of her pants.
'It's getting wet down there Nat,' I whispered.
She chuckled and grabbed my hand and pulled it out of her pants.
'I'm outta here.'
'That's restraint. I applaud you Natalie.'
She continued to laugh as she walked out the door.
Natalie said to call Michelle Monaghan as she hadn't set me a time yet and only told Michelle that I wanted an interview. So I called her up, we talked for a bit and arrange a time. We decided that I'd interview her in 2 days at the set to her new film, "The Heartbreak Kid". Strangely enough on the same day I received a call from the Daily News asking me if I was now giving my articles to another newspaper. I saw this as an opportunity and said yes, so that forced them to say they would pay me more per article. It's funny how they wanted to keep me on the payroll despite me advertising as a freelance writer. I seriously have to stop with this freelance writer shit. But then again I'd actually have to stick to deadlines and try to keep the job, too much work I thought.
Ok, back to the interview, when the day came I rolled up at the meeting place and got lost around the set for almost 20 minutes. The planning for this place was terrible, it seemed all of the sets for the movie had were crammed into this small warehouse. I had wandered into the wrong movie set at one point and then I wandered back to "The Heartbreak Kid" set. I was standing in the middle of a garden complete with a pool where most of the cast and crew were setting up. I approached the most trust worthy looking guy and asked.
'Excuse me, do you know where I can find Michelle Monaghan.'
'No, who are you?'
'I'm here to interview her.'
'Yeah, she'll love that,' he muttered before shouting over my shoulder.
'Ben, help this guy out!'
I looked around and to my surprise Ben Stiller walked towards me.
'How can I help you...'
'Name's Jason, I have and interview with Michelle Monaghan but I've been wandering around aimlessly for the awhile,' I stammered, still incredibly star struck.
'She'll probably be in makeup.'
'I already checked there.'
'Then she'll be in her trailer. I'll take you there'
I was incredibly exited and for a moment contemplated asking him for an interview. He was nice guy but I was still terrified.
'Any plans on making another Meet the Parents film?' I asked nervously.
'First of all, relax. And yes another Meet the Parents film is in the pipelines.'
'What are you gonna call it.'
'Well not me but the writers plan of calling it "Little Fockers"'
I burst out laughing as we continued walking over to a long line of trailers beside the building.
'Just keep it on the QT man, I don't think I was suppose to tell you that.'
'I liked "Dodge Ball"'
God dammit, I seem like a complete retard at the moment. But then again it was Ben Stiller but I'm not supposed to be acting like this, I interview celebrities for a living.
'Yeah, I'm happy with the way Dodge Ball turned out. And here we are, Michelle Monaghan's trailer. Just go right in, she's probably just memorising lines.'
'Cool thanks. Nice meeting you Mr Stiller.'
'If we meet again, call me Ben.'
He walked away and I stood there extremely happy. I don't care if I fuck this interview up hard- core, I just met Ben Stiller. However the moment I opened the trailer door and saw Michelle Monaghan standing there in only a bikini covered by a bathrobe, I was hoping for a repeat of the Kate Bosworth incident.
'Whoa! Blame Ben Stiller, I wanted to knock first but he told me to go in,' I said rather quickly.
Michelle just laughed before dragging me by the arm inside.
'Natalie said you were funny in a clueless kind of way. Relax, the next scene we're filming requires me to be wearing this.'
