Nina's story started out like so many other young up-and-coming, promising wanna-be's. She had done well at school, top of her class in drama. Even had private acting lessons paid for by her rich daddy. But at the age of 23 she naively expected to be able to just walk into an acting career.
Coming from a family with money had its perks; daddy dearest had connections and managed to get her a few small jobs doing commercials. But being born with a silver spoon in ones mouth also had its drawbacks.
Nina had no idea what the real world was like, how hard it was to make it as an actor and her father had kept her sheltered from the most of life's harshness. He had over protected her since her mother had died when Nina was 3, to the point of it being unbearable at times.
She hadn't even dated much. Every time a guy showed any interest, her father, Jim put him through the third degree so much that they quickly lost interest. He pretty much scared away any prospective suitor.
Not that Nina was keen to settle down anytime soon, she was focused on her acting career. She had great plans to be famous before she hit 30. But she was starting to wonder if she might have to sneak out behind daddy's back if she was ever going to lose her virginity.
Yes still being a virgin at 23 did bother her, but not as much her lack of acting opportunities did.
She was starting to feel suffocated by her over bearing father and made a decision that if she was ever going to make it big and be her own person, that she was going to have to leave the big beautiful home that she grew up in.
When she broke the news to her father that she had decided to leave home and go to L.A. to 'find herself' and to find a great agent and start the life she had always dreamed of, it went as expected.
Jim freaked out, yelled at her that she couldn't go, that it would be too hard, too scary, and that she had no idea how to look after herself.
When he finally calmed down enough for Nina to talk, she explained that she is no longer a child and as an adult could live wherever she wished and then to reassure him, promised that she would give it 2 years and if it didn't work out, she would return home.
Her father still wasn't pleased, but relented, knowing full well that his daughter had a slim chance of ever becoming a famous actor let alone being able to cope out there in the big wide world without him.
So he deposited enough money into Nina's bank account to live comfortably on for six months, telling her that when it ran out if she didn't have an acting career by then, she would have to come home before he would give her anymore. He thought that would be a good way of getting his daughter back and he was already planning an 'I told you so' speech.
So a very excited Nina was packed and on her way to L.A. within the week. Jim took her out to the airport and reluctantly said his goodbyes, making sure his last words were "See you soon", he half expected her to be home within a month. Jim was worried about his daughter, even though she was 23, her lack of life experiences made her appear so much younger, an easy target for any predators out there in the real world that he had so expertly kept her from all these years. He was now questioning himself if he had done the right thing by sheltering Nina so much.
Nina was so determined to make it on her own that she only stayed in the hotel her daddy had booked for her for a week. She was proud of herself that she managed to find a great apartment so quickly, having no idea that she was being grossly over charged on the rent and that at this rate daddy's money would run out fast.
But she was used to living well and didn't even realize that her fully furnished new home was expensive.
As soon as she was all settled in, Nina looked through the yellow pages in her search for an agent to represent her. That was harder than she thought it would be. All the ones with big ads didn't even want to see her and after hours of ringing around she finally had managed to set up a few appointments for the following week.
Needless to say the interviews weren't as she had imagined either and after many disappointments and reality finally starting to kick in, Nina was feeling despondent. But then with her last appointment with an agent who kind of gave her the creeps, but she shrugged it off, she eventually had her own agent.
Nina felt pleased with herself but at the same time a bit discouraged, she really thought she would sign up with an agent that handled lots of famous people, not some sleazy guy in a small crappy office that smelt funny.
Bert promised her that he would have a job for her within a week and took lots of photos of her. He seemed all excited about Nina's prospects, telling her that he had knew a guy that was doing a bikini shoot this week and that it would be a great addition to her portfolio to have some professional photos done.
"Actually Nina, it would speed things up if I took a couple of bikini shots of you now. So that I could hand them over to Rick tomorrow. You don't want to miss out on this one sweetie," said Bert with a grin.
"Oh, I don't have anything to change into sorry Bert," Nina replied.
"That's ok doll, we have a whole wardrobe full of stuff here. Come with me and we will pick out a few, we have a dressing room and a studio in the next room," Bert said as he put out his hand to escort Nina to the next room.
Nina was unsure if she was doing the right thing but the thought of not succeeding and having to go back home to daddy kept pushing her to carry on.
She went with Bert through the door and she saw at one end of the room was a big white screen with lights and cameras and there were all sorts of clothes hanging on racks. Costumes and lingerie as well as ball gowns and of course bikinis. Bert sifted through a few of them and picked out a skimpy bright red one as well as a 'barely there' black one that was really just a g-string bottom and not much more than a thin strip of fabric for a top.
"Oh, I don't know about those ones Bert. I think they look too small. Have you got anything in my size?" Nina asked warily.
"Nonsense Nina! These are perfect for you baby. No point in being shy if you want to be an actress. Now listen to your uncle Bert, I know the industry honey, so take it from me, these will be perfect", he said with a gleam in his eye. "Now be a good girl and go put these on and let your agent earn his commission by getting you your first job ok?"
Nina was so determined to get a job soon so that she didn't have to depend on daddy's money that she was almost ready to do anything. She had even thought that if she started making money soon that she could send back most of the money her father had given her as 'starting out' money. After all it's only bikini shots, its not like Bert asked her to get naked or anything.
Nina forced a smile at Bert and stated, "Ok Bert, sure why not!" and off she went in the direction of the small room Bert had pointed to. She didn't notice Bert watching her ass move as she turned and walked to the room.
Once inside the small room that had mirrors on every wall except the one with the door, Nina quickly undressed and put on the red bikini first. Had she been more worldly and observant she might have noticed the small camera in the corner above the mirror.
