She Looks Like a Star- Chapter One

Multidriver x reader (mostly Oscar this chapter)

With the growth of her fan base she decides it’s best to join a big company, what she didn’t expect was how scary it was actually going to be.

Series masterlist | Main Masterlist

She was nervous walking down the hall, wearing obnoxiously loud heels and a tight skirt, not sure how to feel while wearing what was unusual attire for her. Typically she spent her time in lounge wear, lingerie or nothing so having to wear business smart clothes was a little unnerving. Every few steps she looked at the document in the open folder, trying to find the correct room for the meeting she was supposed to be sat in, in about twenty minutes.

With her head pointed down and her mind in a whole other world she walked straight into a man in the dark hallway. "I'm so sorry, are you alright?" She was momentarily stunned by the Australian accent. "Yes, I'm fine, I should have been looking where I was going." After overcoming her bashfulness she looked up, and was met with a sweet smile, only then did she acknowledge the hand on her waist, keeping her steady. "Are you sure, It seems quite hard to walk in those shoes." He said in a lower volume, looking her up and down. Only now was she able to take him in; His messy brown hair, unusually pale skin considering his accent and the tight navy blue t-shirt showing off his strong arms. She was so taken aback that her only reply to the question was a quick nod. "I'm Oscar by the way. I think we'll be working together at some point soon." She smiled finally gathering her things and straightening out her clothes. "It's nice to meet you Oscar." 

"I'm still pretty new around here, but I have a year of navigation experience on you so...Where are you trying to go?" He asked, taking the folder from her arms, trying to save her from carrying too much. "Board room two. I'm supposed to be meeting Christian to discuss my contract and well the logistics of working here." Oscar let out a quiet 'Ah', hooking his arm through hers. "It might help walking in the right direction." He gently laughed, turning around. Her face became warm as they walked. "Don't worry, my first day was a complete mess. I was locked out of the building, seriously late to my first meeting and I waited at the wrong set for about twenty-five minutes. So you're actually starting quite well." Her nerves eased slightly, she could tell Oscar wasn't a particularly chatty person but it was clear how hard her was trying to almost comfort her. "So where did you work before coming here, I'm sorry to say that I don't think I recognise you. Then again I'm not really a big viewer." He said almost shamefully, not realising before he started speaking that it could very easily be taken in an offensive way. "No, no it's okay. I didn't really work with a big company, I did more amateur and home-shot videos. I'm guessing you worked for another company before?" She was unsure as to why it was almost embarrassing that she made all her content on her own. "Yeah, I worked for a smaller company for quite a while actually. You must be pretty talented to make those videos on you're own, especially if it meant you've landed a spot here." Oscar spoke with a sense of excitement during the latter half of the sentence. She looked down as she spoke, entrusting Oscar with fully guiding her. "I now this place is one of the best, but why did you leave you're last company?" Oscar sighed just thinking about it. "I had almost no autonomy. There were certain things I wanted to do, not just because I enjoyed it, but because it makes for a good watch too. But they always shut me down with out even considering it." Oscar seemed genuinely sad about it, she quickly spoke up, questioning how awful that must have been. "Yeah, it was really annoying. But a lot of the videos were scripted like that corny rubbish with the awful acting you usually see with ads. That was the worst. Although you won't fully escape that here, that's one of Sebastian's favourites to film." He laughed at the end. 

"Oscar, stop boring the poor girl." She looked up to see Christian pen in hand standing outside of what she assumed to be bored room two. "Alright, alright I'll go." Oscar said smiling, passing her folder back. "Don't forget you have a scene wit Lando today." Christian shouted towards him. "I know, set room four." 

"Sorry about him." Christian said, guiding her into the room. "So I'm sure you've read the terms and conditions regarding pay and so on. But I do want to elaborate on what would be you're schedule with us. I'm aware and happy that you will continue to film and post you're own content in you're own hours. So here you will be filming a minimum of three videos a week, and a least one of them must be with another actor here, and a maximum of nine, Of course we do not expect or require you to reach that number. So dates, ideas, sets and time allocation need to be made at least three weeks in advance, four weeks if you require and permits or new equipment of any kind. In addition to this, you will be meeting the other actors today and you will be doing a scene with one of them next week. We will have an additional meeting regarding that and what we call a logistics meeting with the other actor to ensure everyone is on the same page." One of the main things she took away from that was how much Christian was able to talk with needing to take a breath, the other was how much work would actually go into this job. "Right, I'm happy with all of that." She spoke rather quietly. "Great. You will also be meeting a few members of the production team, mainly the camera and sound crew which Toto is in charge of." She nodded swiftly as he continued to explain how the company works and what would be happening in the future.

"So you will need to sign here...here...and here." She did so and looked back up waiting to be told what was happening next. "So you have you're own private room here, it's like an office with a bed and a wardrobe. You will be added to the schedule and as you now have your company email feel free to join in and ask questions when needed. So any last questions?" At this point she was feeling a tad overwhelmed but was happy with the outcome. "No, all is good." She spoke with a small smile, slowly standing up. "Wonderful. I'll see you on Tuesday for the next meeting." They shook hands before she left and as soon as she was out of the room and the door was close, she let out a particularly loud sign of relief. Only now did she realise how taxing this could be

She made quick work of finding her office, initially struggling with the key before placing all of her belongings on the desk. She sat down taking a deep breath deciding it would be best to log in and check what he schedule was for next week. Tuesday she had a meeting with all of the actors, directors and some members of the logistics team to discuss the increase in shooting hours for the next set of holidays and what ideas would be used for those videos. That same day she had a meeting with Christian and Charles about their scene on the 14th. She was more shocked than she should have been. Already she was supposed to be shooting, she didn't even know what he looked like and yet she needed to come up with an idea for the video, and be able to put into words what her limits actually were. Before there was no need to plan ahead so much. She could just put on a pretty outfit, turn on the camera and have fun. Now it felt all too much, as though it was more than a fun and paying pastime. She was quick to shoot up upon hearing the knock at the door. "It's just me." Oscar shouted through the door, opening it quickly before sitting down. "So, how was the meeting?" He asked, leaning in as close as possible. She didn't notice to start but Oscar was only wearing trousers and a robe, his blue shirt missing. "It was okay, pretty overwhelming, but good." She said, bringing her eyes back to the computer. 

"Since you want to know and wont ask, Lando gets pretty handsy sometimes, that's usually why I film with him last, or wait a few days to film with someone else. It not a territorial thing, he just likes to see the marks." He spoke softly as he stood up, pulling the robe off. His collar was covered in love bites and teeth marks, while his back was painted with scratches. "Oh wow." Oscar just laughed at her lack of filter. "It's not as bad as it looks, and he's not like this with everyone." He said, eyes closed as the robe began to cover his skin again. "Oh, so you get special treatment. I see how it is." She giggled, avoiding his eyes, scared he's begin to dislike her. "I wish...He doesn't really film with the guys much anymore, I am of course the exception."

He took a deep breath before making sure the door was closed. " Since we're both pretty new I'll fill you in with all the secrets. Lando gets attached very quickly, it's so easy for him to love. That makes him a great person, one of the best you'll ever be around. But that trait is bad in this industry. He joined five years ago, along with George and Alex, but they aren't important to the story. When you start, Usually you're paired with just once actor for a while. For him that was Carlos, and for a lack of a better term he pretty much fell in love with him, but not in a 'I want to date' way. It's complicated. After a few years Carlos left to go to another company for a while and Lando was completely distraught and well angry with Carlos." She was a little shocked that Oscar was so willing to tell her so much. Then again it didn't really affect him. "So Zak, the head of the logistic team, paired him up with Daniel for a while, thinking it would do him some good, they're pretty different, but in a good way." 

Oscar was hesitant to continue, checking his watch every now and then, but since he started he couldn't really stop. "Yet Lando resented him. Daniel didn't take it to heart, knowing the whole situation. He's been here for eight years longer than Lando so he's seen a lot and could tell Lando was struggling. I'll be honest Lando is a massive brat usually, so that coupled with the whole situation was a lot. It made some great content sure, but it was still difficult for every one around them. Long story short they began to get along and at some point Lando fell for Daniel, may I add, both times it wasn't completely one sided. But when things got pretty good for them, Daniel took a break from filming all together, it broke Lando all over again." She took a sharp inhale at the end, it sounded devastating just hearing about it, so she could only imagine how it felt. "So Lando decided he didn't want to film with any of the guys anymore. He started working on some more kink based content with different actors. But slowly he's been coming back. So when I joined last year he didn't want any thing to do with me. Not in a mean way, it was more like he was apprehensive. And of course Zak decided to pair us up and well, we've been filming with each other at least twice a week since." He said shrugging his shoulders, finally doing his robe up properly. "Oh wow that's a lot. Is he not worried you're going to leave him at some point? Not to be disrespectful to you, but surely that's a concern of his." She said as Oscar stood up, motioning for her to do so as well. "First, you need to get changed as Christian has instructed me to accompany you while you meet the rest of the actors, so I'm going to turn around, promise I wont peek." He laughed, checking his watch again. She was quick to start stripping of her clothes, reaching in her bag for some more comfortable attire. "Second, of course he worried, wouldn't you be? But we're adults about it so its usually okay. Now that you say that, that's probably the reason I'm covered in marks." He trailed off, shocked that he didn't think of it sooner. 

She placed her hands on his arms, turning him so they were face to face. "Is this okay?" She questioned looking down at what she was wearing. Oscars eyes followed hers, although stopped much sooner than she did, he couldn't help but stare, mainly at her tits as he could see all the way down her top. He may fuck on camera for most of the week, but he was no better than the average man. "You look perfect." He didn't know what was making him so bold, usually he's quite reserved, not particularly shy, just not talkative. He doesn't know what's gotten into him.

"Come on, it's getting late and it's kind of required that you meet everyone on your first day." They walked out the door and back into another relatively dark hallway, towards on of the many break rooms; Oscar was told to go to the second 'bed set' break room. "So, why'd you tell me all of that?" Oscar didn't expect her to ask him to explain his actions but it seems he really had no choice. "I care about him, so in a way it's just me looking out for him." She hummed with a smile. "If it wasn't me that told you, some else would have, its no real secret. Well the events were not a secret but Lando's true feelings and how bad he really was at the time is more of the secret." After Oscar's little rant she began wonder if they were actually together or if it was once again a two side love relationship without the relationship. "So who's the first one on you're calendar, and don't try to hide it. I know I'm on there but you wouldn't have been staring at that screen so intensely if I was the first." She sighed at his words, ever the observer he seemed to be. "Charles." Oscar was pleased with that, thinking there wouldn't be anyone better. "Actually that's really good for you. He's a lot more sensual and romantic so I believe that Zak thinks he's the safest option because you're content is just you getting off when ever you feel like it, not too focused on the production." He began, not realising he was rambling. "I thought you said you didn't know who I was." She huffed with a teasing tone, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well maybe I lied...Okay I looked you up when you were in that meeting." There was a long pause until they reached the door.

Do we need Bluetooth speakers? Is it worth buying?

Whether you’re an ardent party host or laid-back college student in a shoebox dorm room, a Bluetooth speaker can improve your daily routine. Sometimes you don’t have the want (or funds) to make the leap into the world of home theater audio systems, but a good Bluetooth speaker can keep you company in and out of the home.

Bluetooth speakers, the biggest difference between it and traditional speakers is that no wire connection is required. And it’s small in size, easy to carry and not restricted by the environment…Speaking of advantages, it is a set.

What type of Bluetooth speaker do you want? There are so many different kinds of Bluetooth speakers, and what suits your needs may not suit your friend’s. Let’s break down popular use cases for Bluetooth speakers and figure out which kind is best for you.

1.Best music streaming services

The sound quality of the external speaker of the mobile phone is very poor, and it consumes electricity. At this time, the Bluetooth speaker just solves this problem. When you want to listen to music at home but don’t want to wear headphones, you can choose a Bluetooth speaker because it can be connected wirelessly, placed at will, and the sound quality is better than that of a mobile phone.

In addition, in terms of battery life, the current Bluetooth speakers are generally more than 10 hours, so this is also the advantage of Bluetooth speakers over mobile phones to play music.

2. Early childhood education products

At present, there are many Bluetooth speakers on the market that are used in early childhood education, such as playing nursery rhymes, poems, and fairy tales. In addition, the Bluetooth speaker is connected to the relevant mobile app, which is more direct and convenient for children.

For children, another feature of Bluetooth speakers is that they are resistant to falling. Even if the children are naughty, they don’t have to worry about being broken.

3. Outdoor sports equipment

For outdoor sports enthusiasts, an outdoor portable speaker can make cycling, mountaineering and camping more abundant, and the current outdoor Bluetooth speakers adopt a fully sealed design, with dust/waterproof/drop-proof functions, even if they are It can also be used normally in harsh outdoor environments, and you can share music with friends during a break.

What’s interesting is that many speakers now also have the function of mobile power, because of their huge battery capacity, they can charge the phone at any time. Therefore, if you bring this kind of speaker when you go out, the power bank can be thrown at home.

4.Host a get together with party speakers

Gather around the campfire, and plop your speaker right next to everyone to get the party going. Whether you fancy yourself a party host or party-goer, you can always add music to improve the social atmosphere. You have quite a few options when it comes to party speakers, all of which range in size and price. Party speakers are generally multidriver units that are can be portable, but to a lesser degree than adventure speakers.

Don’t have any special uses? Get a jack-of-all-trades Bluetooth speaker

If you don’t intend to use your speaker in extreme conditions or to entertain guests, we recommend DINDINMODERN and a budget of around $50–100 USD. This is the sweet spot for portable Bluetooth speakers, and you can get plenty of bang for your buck.

Why choose DINDINMODERN

Dưới đây là top 10 phần mềm giả lập Android trên Windows 7/8/10 cho phép chạy game và ứng dụng trên máy tính PC tốt nhất hiện nay.

NoxPlayer (cho Android và MacOS)

Giá: Miễn phí

Với hơn 5 năm hoạt động trên thị trường Việt Nam, NoxPlayer là cái tên vô cùng quen thuộc với cộng đồng game thủ. Và nó được đánh giá là một trong những phần mềm giả lập tốt nhất trên PC cho cả hai nền tảng Android & MacOS hiện nay.

NoxPlayer được người dùng đánh giá và tin tưởng sử dụng nhờ sự ổn định, an toàn, giả lập nhẹ cùng nhiều tính năng cực hữu ích khác như tốc độ và khả năng tương tính cực tốt với hàng loạt game mobile như Free Fire, Liên Quân, VLTKM…

Điểm mạnh của NoxPlayer:

Tính đa năng và hữu dụng trong Keyset (Điều khiển bàn phím): Cho phép cài đặt bàn phím theo từng game, hỗ trợ điều khiển và mô phỏng thao tác chơi game (như nhấn giữ, vuốt, kéo, phóng to/thu nhỏ màn hình…) trên điện thoại đi động thông qua chuột máy tính và bàn phím một cách linh hoạt và dễ dàng.

Trình đa nhiệm Multidriver: Hỗ trợ chơi đồng thời nhiều cửa sổ giả lập, tương thích tốt với các ứng dụng hỗ trợ treo máy cho game như SmartPK, Auto Super… Đây là điều cực kỳ hữu ích cho các game thủ đang chơi các tựa game đòi hỏi thời gian cày cuốc.

Ngoài ra, thanh công cụ bên phía tay phải giả lập Nox cho phép hỗ trợ hàng loạt các tính năng hữu ích khi chơi game như: chụp ảnh màn hình; quay video trong khi chơi game; tính năng Trợ giúp thao tác Macro hỗ trợ ghi lại một loạt các hoạt động phức tạp sau đó tự động thực thi tập lệnh; hỗ trợ đồng bộ hóa thao tác giữa các cửa sổ giả lập; cài/xuất file APK giữa PC và giả lập.

Hiện tại, NoxPlayer đang hỗ trợ tốt trên hai nền tảng Android 4/5/7 và Mac OS. Ngoài ra, Nox cũng đã tung ra phiên bản giả lập 64 bit dành riêng cho từng cấu hình máy tính, từng game và mang đến phiên bản Android stock – công cụ hữu ích để test thử các ứng dụng được lập trình cho Android.

BlueStacks

Giá: Miễn phí, xem quảng cáo

Đặc biệt Bluestacks phiên bản 4 ( phát hành năm 2018) với khả năng mở nhiều phiên làm việc người dùng có thể chơi cùng một game nhiều lần hoặc cùng một lúc chơi nhiều game.

Sỡ hữu những tính năng cao cấp như vậy nên Bluestacks được đánh giá là phần mềm giả lập Android nặng nhất trong danh sách này. Do đó nếu bạn đang sử dụng máy tính cấu hình cao thì mới nên lựa chọn trình giả lập này nhé.

Yêu cầu cấu hình cho Bluestacks 4:

RAM: Có ít nhất 2GB RAM. 2GB RAM này là 2GB RAM trống chỉ dùng để chạy Bluestacks, không phải tổng dung lượng RAM bạn đang có trên máy tính. Vậy tổng dung lượng RAM ít nhất phải có để cài phần mềm là 4G và để chạy mượt phải 8GB trở lên

Ổ cứng: Dung lượng trống 4GB, ổ SSD càng tốt.

Card đồ họa: Card của hãng nào cũng được, nhưng điểm PassMark tối thiểu phải 750.

Có quyền admin để cài và chạy phần mềm, Internet băng thông rộng.

Cập nhật driver đồ họa mới nhất cho máy tính.

Small, sharp knife disguised as a housekey

SOG make excellent knives: I know because I had many of them confiscated by the nascent TSA in the early days of the Global War on Terror, that liminal moment when I was still kidding myself that I would remember to empty my pockets of useful tools before boarding a flight.

Since then, I have pieced together a set of backpack tools (a cheap no-name multidriver with some extra bits) and put Widgy's smallest prybar on my keychain (this has evaded airport confiscation for five years, in literally dozens of countries -- and it's got enough of an edge on it to open parcels and difficult packaging, as well as serving as a useful prybar).

But every now and again, I like to play alternate universe and imagine what I would carry if I could either trust myself to reliably put everything confiscatable in checked bag, or if the TSA decided to abandon security theater in favor of real security, and this SOG Key Folding Knife KEY-101 is exactly the sort of thing I would put on my keyring, in a heartbeat, if I didn't have to worry about flushing $10 down the toilet the next time I fly.

It folds neatly and perfectly into a replica housekey, has over 2000 positive reviews, locks open, and comes from SOG, who, as I say, make some damned good knives. Many of the commenters report having successfully taken it through TSA checkpoints, and if you want to buy in bulk, there's His n Hers pink and blue versions at $15/pair (there's also a $9 stealth version that has the same coloration as a default housekey).

Oscar walked in front of her to open the door, letting her walk into the room first. She was shocked by the amount of people there, a few she recognised, meaning she had seen them on twitter briefly, others she didn't know at all. The nerves Oscar had melted away were quickly coming back as she looked around the room. She noticed a lot of the crew wearing black, yet everyone else was either wearing the same robe Oscar was, or where missing one item of clothing. 

"Is she a new fluffer?" Daniel asked, directing his whisper to Max. "Are you serious? How do you not know who she is?" Daniel just shrugged, turning back to her. The only thoughts rushing through his mind was how gorgeous she was. "She huge, anyone who watches any content should know her." Max rushed out, truly baffled at how unaware Daniel was. "Wait seriously, you've not watched one of her videos?" Carlos interrupted, "It's almost impossible to not cum in a few minutes." A look of shock painted Daniel's face as he finally registered Carlos' words. "Wait, really?" They all nodded with a small smirk. "Who's she working with first?" The Australian asked, "I'm guessing Oscar." Carlos said with a pointed tone as he looked over, noticing the hand on the small of her back. 

An American was the first to walk up to them. "Hi, I'm Logan. I worked with Oscar at his last company. It's nice to me you." He said with a bright smile, holding out his hand. She shook his hand and mirrored his smile. "So have you been filming for long?" She asked, looking back at him. " Four years now, I think. But this is  my second year working here." She nodded with a quick hum. "And you? You've not worked for a company before right?." Logan asked, truly interested. She blushed slightly while answering, "Um, yeah I've not worked for a company before so this is a little nerve wracking actually. But I've been filming for two years." She muttered the last part feeling slightly embarrassed that she wasn't as experienced as someone who was considered new. "That's pretty cool and don't worry, You'll do great." Logan said walking away just before he was called to start filming. Oscar's hand ran up and down her back in an attempt to comfort her. "Relax, you'll be okay." They walked up to Max and Daniel, she was aware of who Max was, it was hard not to be, almost everyone knew his name. "Hello." She almost whispered feeling a little more shy than before. Daniel returned the hello accompanied with a small hug. Max on the other hand didn't interact too much, she'd heard that he doesn't enjoy the more social aspects of the job. "It's a pleasure." Was all he said with his signature smile. "Ignore him...I'm excited to work with you." Daniel said, joy practically radiating from him. The formalities were quickly draining her energy, but there was one more man she had to meet. She noticed that he spent the whole ordeal in the corner of the room just observing her, it didn't feel as weird as it sounded. "Hello, It's nice to meet you. I'm Charles by the way." He said with a small smirk. The first thing she noticed was his accent, and then how enticing his presence was. She was almost captivated. She didn't get a chance to say anything back as she watched him walk away and start talking to the other French speaker Pierre. 

"I can't tell what just happened." She stated looking back at Oscar. "They're just nervous, mostly because you're actually really pretty, plus you're new. So don't take it to heart." He smiled, guiding her back out of the room.

 "Lando wasn't there." She stated simply, not bothering to look up from her feet as they walked back to her so called office. "I think he's filming right now." Oscar said, shaking his head slightly. "Already?" She asked in shock, fumbling with the key to the door. "Yeah, he's the reason there's a filming limit. Once he starts doing something It's all he can think about. So he focuses on that a little too much." He replied, watching her reach for a drink with wide eyes. "Yeah it's one of his kink shoots, so most likely he's not actually fucking her. Those take at least an hour for him to set up before they start filming anyway. Plus there's a lot of changes to the set in between shots. So all in all it probably takes around five or six hours total." Her jaw dropped lightly before she handed him a drink as they both sat on the bed. "That's insane... I'm guessing he does the full nine videos a week." She was still stunned, how could one film for six hours. "Yes, but only three or four of those videos he's actually getting off. He usually doesn't film the full nine every week. But there's a higher expectation for the men in this industry to film more. But he's one of the few that doesn't really mind that." Oscar paused his rant to take a sip of the tea. "You'll be fine, you've not asked to do one of those shoots with him. Plus they are easing you into filming here. Honestly you need to relax a little bit." Oscar was probably one of the worst people she could have heard that from, he always seemed so calm and collected. "Come on, you need to get home and prepare for your meetings." The Australian held his hand out to her. 

The drive home wasn't something she particularly enjoyed, the streets were always busy and people just never seemed to be looking where they were going. When she closed the door to the flat and placed her belongings at the door she noticed a message.

It amazed her how sweet he was being, then again he was the outsider no one wanted to speak to last year, so it only makes sense that he wanted to ease the transition for her. A loud sigh left her lips as she sat down on the sofa, the stress of the day finally catching up to her. 

She walked to her bedroom with haste, grabbing her camera and laptop. She wanted to rid of the stress the best way she knew how. She placed the tripod at the foot of her bed before pulling out her box of toys. She quickly decided on using the white wand from her first video. After plugging it in, she stripped of most of her clothes, just leaving her bra and panties as she climbed on the bed. She clicked the 'stream' button and waited for a substantial amount of viewers before she actual began. "I've had such a stressful day today, and I most definitely need your help." She said rather quietly, running her hands up her abdomen so she could cup her breast, squeezing slightly. With her eyes closes she began to toy with herself, still wanting to give her viewers a show. Her fingers danced over her thighs before she spread her legs, showing off the lacy blue thong she was wearing, she pulled on the waist band before she began to rub her clit lightly, head falling back slightly. "Feels so good already." She mumbled before pulling her hand away, opening her eyes. looking straight at the camera with a big smile. "You better have your hand around you cock." She said in an almost bratty tone, yet she still seemed so sweet. She rose slightly, resting on her knees as she reached behind her back, unclasping the bra. The anticipation of pleasure was almost killing her. She rolled her nipples between her fingers, moaning quietly at the feeling. One thing she prided herself on was making her content as realistic as possible. She didn't want to be sat in front of the camera fake moaning as loud as possible and intentionally making lewd faces. She wanted it to be raw and real; Her fanbase and even casual viewers appreciated it. 

Her eyes shifted from the camera towards her laptop. She smiled seeing the kind words in the chat; "Oh that's terrible.", "I'm sorry you're so stressed.", "I hope you're feeling a bit better now." and "Wishing you the best right now." Even though they were there to watch her get off, she liked the attention and what seemed to be a genuine adoration from certain viewers. "Thank you...You're so sweet to me." She whispered, having to pause to catch her breath. She lowered her hands once again, a small smile adorning her face. She reached for the vibrator to her left and waved it in front of the camera before turning it on to the lowest setting. She started by brushing it over her chest, watching how her nipples hardened at the sensation. She brought the toy down, ghosting over her clit. "Fuck, I want it so bad." She looked back at the laptop waiting for a influx of messages giving her permission. As soon as the vibrator made contact she gasped, body pulling away from it with a small giggle. "Let's try that...Again." She huffed, struggling to get her words out as the vibration sent impulses through her body. "Fuck, needed this so bad." Her eyes rolled tot eh back of her head as she focused on the feeling. The stimulation not only affecting her cunt, but also her stomach, she felt butterflies as she rocked the vibrator against her skin, hips bucking to meet it as much as possible. Her moans bouncing off the walls made it clear how close she already was. She turned the toy up a setting before she began to move it in fast circles on her clit. "Oh, Please, Please. I'm gonna cum." Her vision became blurry as she began to twitch around nothing, eyes closed as her lips turned up into a smile. She could feel her cum slowly dripping down her thighs as she gasped for air, body falling forward slightly as her head dipped, right hand coming in front to support her almost limp body. "Fuck, I can still feel my legs shaking." She giggled once more, looking up towards the camera. She took a moment to fully collect herself and come back to reality.

"Sorry for the unannounced stream, I just wanted to feel good and thought you deserved to see it. Thank you for coming." She smiled before ending the stream, bothering to put the equipment back, just ensuring it was all turned off. She threw her body back onto the bed, head hitting the pillow softly before she reached for her phone.

The next morning she awoke feeling slightly groggy and irritated by the alarm going off next to her.  She groaned loudly as she got out of bed, practically running to the shower to wash off last night's events. She decided that wearing something slightly smart would be best for the meeting, even if it was only to discuss the scene, speaking of which, she was immensely nervous for. After staring at her wardrobe for about six minutes, she decided on a nice pair of trousers and a simple blouse would be the best decision. She slipped the clothes on before walking over to her laptop. Typically after she finished a stream she would look though the comments and donations before she went to bed. But last night, as soon as she locked her phone, she couldn't resist the urge to rest. So this morning, when she woke up to the words of praise she was almost ecstatic.  

As she walked through the dark corridors once more she realised how much she was already missing Oscar. He let her know that he was filming today and so wouldn't be in the building. She struggled down the halls once more looking for the right board room, her nerves quickly rising. Oscar's statement about her not focusing too much on production was really starting to get to her, especially after last night. Was that a bad thing? That she only focused on getting off, not making sure the stream or videos actually looked good. Should she be focused on that more? Her thoughts paused when she watched Charles enter board room three. A small sigh of relief escaped her lips as she followed him into the room. 

A few hellos and reintroductions were said as they all settled down. "So the shoot is in one weeks time in bed set one." Andrea started, looking through plenty of paper work on the table in front of him. "And since this is your first shoot with us, we want to keep things pretty simple. Zak and I think it's best to start with a more romantic and sweet scene and we want to know you're opinions with that?" This was the first time she'd even thought about the scene properly, not just thinking about Charles. "Yes, I think that is good." He said with a small smile, hands resting on the table. "Although I think it would be good to start the scene almost as if we were coming back from a date. It will look a little more, how do you say? Fluid, realistic maybe." Charles questioned. It was clear he had been working with them for a long time, He didn't even hesitate to suggest an idea. "I like that." She smiled, becoming slightly shy. "Okay, that's all good then. We will need your clothing sizes so we can get something appropriate for the shoot if that's okay?" Andrea asked, looking up at her, sliding a piece of paper across the table. She began writing with a small hum. "I would like to wear a suit if possible." Charles spoke up once again before taking a sip of the water in front of him. Andrea nodded righting down the request before turning to her. "Maybe a little dress of some kind." She didn't sound particularly sure of herself in that moment. 

"So, playing off of Charles' idea; You both come into the shot, quietly talking about how nice the date was and how much you really missed time with each other. Charles with come up behind you, holding your hips or waist and whispers something flirty to you. Then we'll cut to a different camera and he'll start undressing you." He paused briefly, letting Toto chime in. "So how many cameras do you actually want for this shoot?" Toto was the head of directing and was usually pretty hands on when filming, often found with a camera or a mic in his hands. "Possibly two. One on a tripod in front of the bed and one handheld following them around the room. I think it would be best to start with that one so we can get the shot from the front, then the one of Charles unzipping the dress in one go." Andrea stated looking directly at the Austrian. "I think having another would be best, maybe not following them around per say, but another handheld." Toto had been filming for almost eleven years now so he knew what was best and everyone truly trusted his opinion. 

"Okay, that's good. It will make the set up and directing a little bit longer. Just need you to know that." You could hear the sound of her heels tapping against the wooden floor of the room as he spoke. "Then after all the clothes are off I just want you to do whatever feels most natural in the moment but we want it to seem as sensual and loving as possible." Why did she feel like that was worse than having to follow a script? She wasn't completely sure she was ready for this. "One last thing, If either of you want anything to pause, end or be changed in some way say 'Stop' This isn't one of the more rough scenes so there is no need for any other words. So if you hear the other person say it, asks them immediately what's wrong." Andrea spoke with conviction, looking between them both for confirmation. Charles just could not take his eyes away from her for the rest of the meeting, he was enthralled with her. That was half of the reason he could only keep his introduction short the day prior, he didn't want to say anything stupid. 

"You need to be in the building by ten am giving you time for hair, make up et cetera. You need to be ready on set by eleven so we can sort the last few things out; Mostly what you're going to say and the final locations of the cameras and if there are any last minute details we need to add we have the time to do so." Andrea took one last pause before closing his notebook and folder. "That's all I need you for." 

She was just as overwhelmed now as she was when she left the first meeting and so thought it was best to go to her office to lie down for a moment. She once again struggled without Oscar's guidance. A small blush rose to her face as she sat down, thinking about Charles. Was it normal to be thinking about a colleague in such a way? Is there even that kind of line when your job is to fuck said colleague? Probably not. Even with the pillow covering her ears she could still hear the sound of the message on her phone.

8 home repair tasks every landlord should learn how to do

A lot can go wrong with a rental unit, but a landlord with the skills, knowledge, and tools to handle basic repair tasks can save lots of money.

If you aren’t interested in doing maintenance and repair work yourself, because you prefer a hands-off approach, that’s great. But you’ll need an extensive contact list of home repair pros. If you want to do this work yourself, you’ve reduced your dependency on third-party schedules and can potentially save significant amounts of money.

Note: Even if you’re in a position to do repairs yourself, you shouldn’t expect to handle all of them. Certain repair tasks, such as those related to heating and cooling systems, require professional certification, while others, such as changing a shower valve, call for specialized skills. That still leaves a fairly long list of basic repair tasks you can do yourself. Here are eight of the most common ones.

1. Basic plumbing

Faucet leaks waste water and stain sinks and tubs, and they’re usually easy to fix. In most cases, it’s simply a matter of disassembling the faucet and replacing a worn gasket or washer. For this simple job, expect to pay a plumber at least $125 for a service call. You can usually find instructions for completing the job on the manufacturer’s website. After you’ve done this task once or twice, you’ll be an expert.

Toilet and drain clogs have a way of happening at inconvenient times when plumbers aren’t available. To avoid leaving your tenants in the lurch, learn how to snake a drain, disassemble a P-trap, and properly plunge a toilet. And yes, there is a proper way to do it.

Useful tools:

Slip-lock pliers

Multidriver

Sink auger and toilet auger (they’re not the same)

Bell-shaped toilet plunger

Potential savings: $125 or more per leak or toilet clog

Know how to shut off the water

Plumbing leaks can cause major headaches. While you may not be able to fix every one by yourself, you should know the locations of the water shut-offs so you can turn off the water to prevent further damage until a plumber comes.

2. Electrical switch and outlet repair

Dimming or flickering lights and short circuits are systemic problems that require professional attention, but when a switch or outlet doesn’t work properly, you can often restore power to that device by tightening a loose connection or replacing the device. This is a 10- to 20-minute job. Just make sure to turn off the breaker controlling the circuit before you remove the outlet or switch cover.

Useful tools:

Voltage tester

Pliers

Multidriver

Wire splicing tool

Potential savings: $125 or more per repair

3. Appliance troubleshooting

Problems with refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and other major appliances often boil down to a simple cause, such as a blown fuse, broken drive belt, or internal obstruction. While there’s no formula that works for every situation, many appliance repairs are easier than you expect. You’ll save the cost of the repair as well as that of the service call.

If you don’t have the user’s manual, chances are good that you’ll find a YouTube video to guide you through the process. The most difficult part of appliance repair is often moving the machine into a position that allows access to the damaged component. You may need help for this.

Useful tools: See A landlord’s toolbox for appliance repair and maintenance

Potential savings: $200 to $500 per repair

Related: How long should appliances last?

4. HVAC maintenance

When a heating or cooling system breaks down, you usually have no alternative but to call a licensed repair pro. However, you can perform a number of maintenance tasks yourself to help prevent breakdowns and avoid expensive furnace repair bills. They include changing filters regularly, cleaning refrigeration coils, and lubricating fan motors. If you have a gas furnace, you should familiarize yourself with the procedure for changing a faulty thermocouple or heat sensor, which is often responsible for the failure of the pilot to stay lit.

Useful tools:

Multidriver

Pliers

Crescent wrench or spanner

Potential savings: $500 or more

5. Pest control

Insects and rodents thrive in unsanitary conditions, and while tenants must share responsibility for keeping them at bay, it’s ultimately the landlord’s responsibility to eradicate them. Pest control is something of an art that takes research and the right materials. You might not be able to get rid of an ant infestation, for example, until you find out what kind of ants they are so you can use the right bait. It may take homework and persistence, but developing a knack for pest control can save you the hundreds of dollars you’ll have to spend for professional extermination and the monthly fees for upkeep.

Note: If you discover termites at your rental property, don’t try to exterminate them yourself. Termite control is a multi-step procedure that is best left to pros. You can handle bedbugs yourself, though.

Related: How to deal with bedbugs at your rental property

Useful tools:

Traps

Bait

Caulk for sealing access points

Potential savings: $500 or more for extermination and $150 or more per month for upkeep

6. Basic roof and gutter repair

Although a major roof leak is a job for a roofer, a handy landlord who isn’t afraid of heights can often fix minor leaks with roofing tar and caulk and save significantly. The cost average cost to repair a leak on a shingle roof is between $500 and $700, and on slate roofs, it can run into the thousands.

The intrepid climber can also stop gutter leaks, which can damage siding, undermine foundations, and create dangerous icicles in the winter. Gutter repairs often involve little more than cleaning out debris, adjusting the hangers, and sealing joints with caulk. Preventing leaks by cleaning the gutters at least once a year should be one of the repair tasks you complete as part of routine maintenance.

Useful tools: 

Ladder

Putty knife

Caulking gun

Bucket

Gloves

Potential savings: $500 to $1,000 or more per leak

7. Drywall patching and replacement

It’s often possible to repair impact damage in drywall with patching compound or joint compound, but replacement is the only option for water damage or mold. Either way, you’ll save $300 or more per repair being able to do this work yourself. Drywall repair can be messy, but it’s straightforward, and it should be part of your repertoire. You’ll be glad you know how to do it when you have to get a property ready for new renters after a long tenancy.

Useful tools:

Tape measure

Straightedge

Utility knife

Drywall saw

A selection of drywall blades

Potential savings: $300 or more per repair

8. Painting

Each rental property you own gives you an opportunity to hone your painting skills, and a high-turnover property will give you lots of opportunities. Painting isn’t rocket science, but it isn’t trivial work either, and it takes time to develop an efficient routine. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll save the $300 or $400 per room that professional painters charge. For a three-bedroom apartment in an average rental market, that could be more than a month’s rent.

Useful tools: See The top skill you should perfect: painting.

Potential savings: $300 to $400 per room

To DIY or not to DIY? That is the question!

Even if you’ve developed an extensive repertoire of home repair skills, it may not be worth your while to take on certain repair tasks. Before undertaking a repair, consider what your time is worth and how that compares to the going rate for the job. You may choose to hire a pro if one is available and it’s more cost-effective to do so.
