Creative Fiction Prompt: Personal Assistant


So I have one of those story prompt journals that you can get at Barnes and Noble and I am trying to get in the habit of actually using it. I find it's a good exercise to do to get in the habit of writing more, working the creative muscles if you will, and I'm excited to share some of it here for thoughts and feedback. I'd also love to know what you'd have written for each prompt because I'm fascinated by the ways different people approach the same idea.

So, without any further rambling...

This is Creative Fiction Prompt #1: A superfan becomes their idol's assistant.
-

They tell you not to meet your idols. Did I listen? No, of course not. Austin Moore has been my biggest celebrity crush for years. Ever since I had seen him in that movie about the Trojan War I have been reduced to nothing but drool and heart eyes whenever I see him on screen. Sure he seems gruff in interviews, but he’s probably just hiding a heart of gold, right? I read romance novels, I know how it’s supposed to go.

So when a friend of a friend knew someone who worked as his assistant, news travelled quickly to me when said assistant quit. I should have asked why. Instead I had asked for his agent's number so I could apply for the position. Stupid Brenna making stupid choices like always.

Because even though Austin Moore is hot like the sun, all golden muscles and scruffy beard, he is also a tremendous asshole. And now I’m stuck with him, personal assistant to a Hollywood jackass who won’t even let me actually assist him with anything. It’s been two weeks and I’ve almost walked out of the job at least three times. Three times of being so raging mad that it’s a miracle I didn’t shove a one of my heels in his stupid, handsome face.
