This story begins not so long ago, depending on who you are and when you reside. This is the story of a troubled young actress, in truth, set out to find a meaning in this vast space we call life. Claudia LeStraf, this young actress, has a rather unbelievable past, which means I'd understand if you were to let this story down because of the sheer 'logic'. But I ensure you this is one hundred percent real in my imagination. But to the story now, yes?
Claudia LeStraf, strawberry blonde actress since her role in Jurassic Park at eight years of age, waited in an American taxi cab, and not one the middle-aged Englishwoman was used to. She sat in silence, though found the courage to hum to herself on the way to the set of 'Thor': a Marvel movie of the superhero. Claudia had been given the role of Cariad, goddess of the heart and close friend to the 'brothers', Thor and Loki. While traffic jammed up the once quick and easy drive to the studio, she took out her private notebook from the oh-so famous bag of hers where she kept her quick changes and wigs in case she ever needed to 'disappear' in a crowd. Claudia's crystalline green eyes darted over the words, reminding herself of the times 'way back when'. As she flipped through the pages, she came across the pages section featuring Adam Levine, whom she had briefly dated a few years ago. Well, if you could call it dating. The most she recalled of it was all the mind-blowing sexual experiences never to be spoken of again. The strawberry blonde celebrity smiled at the memories but the smile quickly diminished as she remembered waking once to discovering a rather dirty text on Adam's phone which, after much teary interrogation, she promptly left him, knowing what he had done now since they had started dating. How many women was it? Four? Maybe 50? What was it to her anymore? What was done had been done and could never be taken back. That didn't necessarily mean she hadn't gotten over it, because she was over and done with his betrayal, however nasty. Her green eyes began to water with morose tears when she flipped to the page where she had dated Benedict Cumberbatch. What's more is that they were briefly engaged before she found out he too had been cheating. Now you might believe this strange that this happen twice in a row, but I assure you it was under different circumstances. One day Miss Soon-To-Be-Cumberbatch had walked in on Ben, fully unclothed with another woman in their bed, also fully unclothed, making love. Was it too much to ask for a faithful man? At least Ben had been considerate enough not to leave a trail of lovers like Adam. Just the one woman she never caught her name. She passed a page where 'Mrs. Cumberbatch' was written in all different prompts down the page, another with the two in complete and utter love in a photo booth, the film progressing, iconically enough, kissing at the end. It took all of her reserve Claudia had to not rip that whole section apart to bits and leave it in the street where the traffic was just picking up. The next pages were blank. That was it, her adult life thus far with men that mistreated her. It seemed off to a most horrid start, even as a 31 year old she knew that starting her adult life this way, especially with such a dark past like hers, wasn't healthy.
