A/N Guess who is back for this story? Barbara! LOL! I can't let that character go. I just love her. Someone needs to give the Professor a hard time and call him out on his making out with Ginger LOL!
FYI. After this chapter I will now be referring to Eva as Diana as that is her new persona.
I hope you are enjoy this tale! Now read!
Roy Hinkley settled in his lab writing down a chemical formula for the perfume.
He was tasked with coming up with the perfect fragrance. Sweet yet sexy is what the CEO of Lady J Fragrances instructed.
Landing a job at the company was a dream come true. Jacqueline Parker was looking for a new chemist as the one who had been working for her took a position elsewhere. It had been difficult to replace such talent but she found was she was looking for in Professor Hinkley. She discovered all the different things he was able to make while on stranded on the island and was very impressed.
Ginger Grant was a favorite client of hers. At a party, she had remarked to Jacqueline how the Professor had rushed in to sniff her perfume once and how she was sure that it really had nothing to do with needing a solvent for glue. He simply enjoyed the scent created by Lady J.
When Jacqueline heard this it had piqued her interest. She inquired to the Professor about his knowledge of chemicals and liked what she heard. Ms. Parker decided to test it out by asking him to come up with a fragrance. He did so and she was pretty much sold from there. She hired him immediately. The Professor did enjoy his job very much. It was true he had been very happy at his previous job but when presented with this offer it was impossible to refuse. So he reluctantly gave his notice to his boss who was disappointed but understanding. He promised he was always welcome back at any time if he decided.
Right now he was mixing a chemical with another when the door opened.
"Hey there Roy!" The cheerful female voice said.
He looked over and saw his good friend and former colleague at university Barbara Roberts. The Professor set his work down. "Barbara." He greeted. "What are you doing here?
"Oh I work here now." She replied. "Ms. Parker hired me to work in the lab too."
"That's great." He smiled. "Happy to have you here."
"Thank you." The blonde said putting on her plastic safety goggles. "So how is everything going? How's the beautiful Ginger Grant?"
"Her name is Ginger Hinkley. Or will be." He quipped thinking of how Ginger constantly corrected everyone in regards to her last name. She practically insisted everyone call her that. She was going to be that anyway why not start now was her reasoning. He was amused by this. "And she is doing great. She's going to star in a new movie. Lead role."
"Wonderful." Barbara said. She then turned serious. "Listen I saw that hit piece in the paper by that no good Connie Pearson. Is Ginger okay?"
"She's fine." The Professor assured. "In fact she said her manager friend has a friend who is going to write a counter article to it."
"Good." Barbara replied. "I hope she tears Connie apart. The nerve of that woman. Ginger is a lovely woman. I can't understand her need to tear her down all the time. By the way I saw the gown Ginger was wearing and I thought it was stunning. There was nothing vulgar about it."
Roy nodded. He too thought Ginger' gown was stunning. So stunning that when they had returned home that night he practically tore it off the starlet which was a switch from Ginger ripping his shirt off any chance she got, not that he ever minded.
He could not help himself. Never before had he ever felt these types of emotions.
Ginger stirred things inside him he had no idea existed. She had done this from day one.
It took him way too long to admit to it and he was sorry about that but not sorry about loving her. He would never be sorry about that. Ever.
"So what are you working on?" The blonde chemist asked walking up to him.
"A new perfume. Ms. Parker says she wants a brand new fragrance. Something light but not too light and not heavy. She specified sweet yet sexy." Like Ginger. He added to himself.
"You know." Barbara said as she got her notepad out. "How about a perfume that reminds you of springtime in Paris?"
The Professor shook his head. "No we need something different. I think that what she has in mind is for a woman to identify with the scent. Kind of like…." Then it hit him. Ginger. Of course. "I got it. We'll pattern this scent after Ginger. We can call it Starlet."
Barbara smiled. That man was just nuts about that redhead. "I think that is perfect."
"Write this down.." He instructed her.
They two then began concocting formula. Roy decided that he would test it out on Ginger first to see what she thought. After all this fragrance was for her, they needed to get it right. In his mind he would have her spritz it on her elegant neck and then he would…..
God he loved that woman. He wished she was there right that second.
The Professor shook his head and tried to turn his focus back on the task at hand.
Ginger's House
The movie star straightened up after her incredible morning with her sexy fiancé.
Yes sexy. She thought he was the sexiest man alive. Sexier than Cary Grant even.
More than anything she wished he would just move in with her already but he insisted that he could not do that until they were married.
Ginger had countered with what did it matter, they spent every night together anyway.
He still stubbornly refused much to the displeasure of the actress.
She supposed it didn't matter much now. Soon they would be married and he would be all hers.
Ginger set a pillow down on the bed and thought about where they could take their honeymoon. She wanted something extremely romantic. And not a tropical island.
True the warm weather and sunshine was nice but living there for those four years with nothing but sand and water…No she wanted something more. Maybe a trip to Italy.
Ginger could picture her with the Professor sitting in a gondola floating on the water underneath the stars.
It didn't really matter where they went, as long he was with her. Every day she counted herself lucky to find a man like him. One who loved and adored her. Not because she was a famous movie star but because she was her.
Before he came along she had been too shy to admit that she found science a fascinating subject. Never let anyone know how she was intrigued by chemicals and how they came together to form different things. She was sure everyone would laugh.
It was part of the reason she was always so eager to assist the Professor in his lab on the island. She genuinely enjoyed herself. Yes getting the chance to be alone with him without the others was a bonus too. Ginger always loved listening to him explain things.
No one else on the island did however she was sure. Certainly not Mary Ann or Gilligan. She knew most of the time those two just laughed at his science talk.
Well she didn't. She liked when he got all scientific. For some reason she found it sexy as hell. He would sometimes speak this way to her just to arouse her and it always worked.
Roy Hinkley was her soulmate. There was no two ways about it. And she was going to marry him. Ginger went to the phone and dialed. "Hello…Monica? It's Ginger…I'm fine thank you. How is my gown coming along?"
"It's just about complete." Monica answered. "I made those changes you wanted and it looks great. I think you will be pleased. The dress itself it done, just working on the the veil but it won't take that long."
"Wonderful." Ginger smiled. "Will I be able to do a fitting soon?"
Monica looked over her book. "Actually I think next week will work unless you want to do it sooner? I can squeeze you in say…Thursday?"
"That would be perfect." Ginger stated. "Say afternoon? Maybe 1:30? I will be shooting a scene for my new movie in the morning but should be done by then."
"I will pencil you in." Monica said writing it down. "See you then."
"Great. Thank you!" Ginger said hanging up the phone. Her dress was ready. The veil needed completed yet but the dress was ready. She could not wait to see it!
Oh why didn't June hurry up already! She was dying here! More than anything she wanted to just be married to the Professor already. Wanted to officially be Ginger Hinkley.
Ginger got up from her seat and headed down the stairs. She walked to the living room and picked up the script that had been delivered. When she had read it over she was thrilled. It was such a wonderful story and she just loved the character of Jane.
As for her own movie, she was looking forward to casting it. They put out a call for the part of Victoria. Ginger knew it wasn't going to be easy casting someone who was going to practically be portraying her however it needed to be done. Surely there was the perfect actress who had enough talent to pull it off.
Beauty Salon
Eva smiled in the mirror at her new blonde do. Perfect just perfect.
Her hair was cut just a bit shorter but not too much. It was the right shade.
Not too dark. Not too light. Went perfect with her new aqua green contacts.
Soon no man would be able to resist her. They would all be falling at her feet.
Eva stood up from her chair after the beautician removed the plastic cape that had been draped over her. Her heels clicked on the linoleum floor as she made her way over to the register to pay. She handed her a credit card with the name Diana Hart printed on it.
She had gone to court and had her name legally changed. Everything was now under Diana Hart. She had her attorney request the records be sealed. The judge had thought this a bit odd but granted the request. Eva aka Diana did not want to leave a loose ends.
No one was going to ever find out who she really was. All the world would know is that a bright new star was in Hollywood. One too be reckoned with.
After her card was run through, she thanked Patty, the stylist, and walked out of the salon. Her head was held high and she felt a sense of confidence.
A few men stared at her as she made her way over to her car and it gave her a boost of ego. Good. They found her attractive alright.
She got into her car and drove away. Charles, her agent, had got a hold of the script for The Storm and had it sent to her house. She looked it over and smiled. Most definitely she was going to get this role. No matter what it took, she was going to make damn sure that "starring Diana Hart" would appear on the big screen.
Lab
The Professor writing down a chemical formula and compared it to another he had written to see which one would possibly work the best when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
He turned his head to see a smiling redhead staring at him.
"Who let you in here?" He asked pleased to see her.
"I sweet talked the guard." She replied with a twinkle in her eyes.
"We are going to have to hire new security." He replied turning to put his arms around her. "One that is immune to the charms of beautiful seductive redheads."
"You'll never find one." She whispered to him bringing her lips closer.
"A-hem." Barbara cleared her throat standing in the doorway.
"Oh uh.." Roy said letting go of Ginger. "Barbara…I thought you had uh…"
"I left my purse here." She grinned. "My my Professor Hinkely is this was you do when no one is around?"
"Barbara I can assure you…"
"No wonder she was always your "assistant" on the island." Barbara continued on.
Ginger giggled at the look of displeasure on the Professor's face. "Nothing was going on." He stated firmly.
"Not yet anyway." The movie star moving back to him and kissing his ear.
The Professor tried to push her away but for some reason Ginger had a pretty tight grip on him and he could not dislodge her.
"I'll let you two um 'get back to work.'" Barbara said grabbing her purse. "Don't let me get in the way."
She quickly hurried out as an object went flying towards her head. It hit the door and sunk down to the floor.
The Professor looked at his fiancé. "You always seem to get me in trouble." He stated.
"I'm a troublemaker." She said seductively. "You knew what you were getting into."
"Indeed." He replied taking her back into his arms. "A beautiful one at that."
His lips went back to her and they were soon lost in a passionate kiss.
The Professor broke the kiss gazing at the starlet. "What brings you here by the way? Miss me?"
"Always." Ginger answered lightly kissing him. "You know how lonely I get without you."
"I'm so sorry my love." He replied returning her kiss. "I shall make it my priority to never leave you lonely again."
"You are too good to me." Ginger deepened the kiss wrapping her arms back around him.
They were locked in yet another heated embrace that neither one of them wished to have come to an end.
Eva's Home
The new blonde stood in her bedroom looking over all the new clothes that were brought to her by a stylist that her manager hired for her. She needed the perfect look. One that would outshine Ginger's. Of course it wouldn't be hard to outshine a trampy look she laughed to herself. She agreed with Connie's assessment of Ginger's wardrobe.
Who was she trying to impress by having her breasts falling out of her gown like that? Really have some class lady. She rolled her eyes.
Eva was convinced everyone in Hollywood would appreciate her class and grace a hell of a lot more than Ginger and her slutty ways. It would not be long before she caught the notice of everyone and Miss Thing was run out of town. Of course not before the Professor ditched her. So what if Ginger was heartbroken? What did she care anyway?
As far as Eva was concerned Ginger deserved what she got. It was her fault her earlier shot at stardom failed. It was not going to fail this time. This time she would outdo that no good redhead trollop once and for all.
Ginger was nothing but a cheap hussy. Most definitely slept with producers and directors to get the roles she did. Most likely wrecked a few homes in the process but probably didn't care as it was all about her and what she could get. What a stupid bitch.
Why on Earth Roy Hinkley found this tart attractive or desirable she was at loss to know. It didn't matter. Soon he would not be so taken by her so-called charms. No. He would be taken by Diana Hart and her beauty. Ginger was history.
