          “  depends  on  your  definition of  paradise .  ”    it  seems  as  though  she  had  no  intention  of  answering  his  inquiry  at  all .  he  shrugged  it  off ,  knowing  that  the  situation  is  a  private  affair  between  partners .    “  that’s  a  shame .  ”    he  sighed ,  pushing  himself  up  from  his  seat .    “  i’ll  see  you  on  the  weekend .  ”    he  smiles  and  takes  the  script  with  him  as  he  left .

—  

one  tabloid  regarded  his  weekend  festivities  as  :  hollywood’s  rendition  of  jay  gatsby’s  lavish  parties .   although ,  unlike  gatsby ,  james  had  no  real  cause  for  it  —  he  just   …   felt  like  it .   he  was  more  of  an  observer  during  the  function .  he  was  either  on  his  balcony  looking  down  at  the  uproar  ,  or  all  cooped  up  in  his  office ,  looking  out  through  his  window .  it  was  the  latter  for  this  circumstance ,  although  as  a  host ,  he  supposed ,  it  was  about  time  to  make  an  appearance .   when  he  opens  the  door  out  of  his  office ,  he  bumps  into  margaret .  “  guests  aren’t  allowed   on  this  floor .  ”  he  teases ,  all  the  while  pleased  to  see  she  came.

margaret honestly had been looking forward to the party that James was hosting. It had been a busy week and she didn’t want to be cooped up in her home all weekend. she had mentioned to connor that she would be gone for the evening but still wrote a note for him, if he was even home to read it. once there the blonde floated through rooms, chatting with fellow members of hollywood’s elite that she knew. it was all fun but she didn’t feel like keeping up the bright and bubbly facade for another five minutes so she slipped away to find the owner of the home. lingering through the upstairs halls she was startled when a door opened quickly and the man she was looking for appeared “oh? well maybe if you were downstairs I wouldn’t have had to come up here looking for you” she retorted with a raised eyebrow. quickly her attention was taken by the items on the shelves that were in his office. “you were in the war?” it made sense, most men were. “so was my brother, unfortunately he didn’t come home though” she said quietly as she moved in there to look over the things he had. she leaned down to look at a pair of dog tags hanging, she had figured they were his but when she read the name she couldn’t believe her eyes. taylor, charles r. surely there was no way she was looking at her brothers identification from the army. “who did these belong to? because whoever it was they have the same name as my brother...” she had turned around to look at him, her eyes watering quickly.

it was impossible not to at least chuckle at maggie’s words. it was no secret that monica wasn’t widely liked by everyone – which was ironic to say for a leading professional working in public relations. then again this was hollywood, and all sorts of personalities always clashed. elizabeth nodded at the mention of low-key, one certain spot on sunset blvd. automatically clicking in her head. “say no more, i know just the place.” she followed maggie out of the building and began leading the way to a restaurant just a couple blocks away. “but tell me, any projects coming up? major interviews, magazine covers? i’d love to know all the deets.” it didn’t take long for them to arrive to a small hole-in-the-wall place she personally liked to call the den. while it looked rundown from the outside, the inside was a whole different story.   

maggie took a deep breath once they were outside, taking a moment to let the warm sun hit her skin. that had to be her favorite thing about los angeles, the sun was always shining and everyone seemed to have this magical glow about them. hearing elizabeth’s question she turned and nodded quickly “yeah actually i have a magazine shoot with harper’s bazaar next week. i start promo for my new film at the beginning of the month, so that’s exciting. i won’t know what sleep is but who really needs sleep?” she gave a playful wink as they walked down the street “and you? how are you? staying busy?” the blonde stopped and looked at the building, sliding her glasses down her nose slightly “i’m slightly scared to go in, but i trust you..”

         “  trouble  in  paradise  ?  ”    he  teases ,  knowing  how  difficult  it  was  to  sustain  a  career  and  a  marriage  at  the  same  time .    “  it’s  an  open  invitation .  not  compulsory  at  all .  ”    although,  he  knew  schedules  could  be  tight  and  an  unplanned  party  during  the  weekend  was  not  a  priority  for  some .

a small laugh left her lips as she took another drag “is los angeles really paradise?” she knew that wasn’t what he meant but she was able to derail the conversation slightly. she couldn’t find a way to tell him she didn’t think her husband would join them, he’d barely joined her in bed at night the last few weeks. “we’re just both so busy, it seems planning something for us both to be there rarely happens” she shrugged as the smile faded, her eyes watched the smoke rise from the cigarette before taking another drag “well i’ll be there so you can count on that.”

                    there  were  times  jessie  couldn’t  help  but  question  how  nice  margaret  was  .  blame  his  suffocating  trust  issues  or  his  annoyingly  ongoing  battle  with  the  pessimistic  thoughts  that  consumed  him  .  but  he  at  times  had  a  hard  time  coming  to  the  realization  that  someone  could  be  as  kind   &   true  as  she  seemed  to  always  be  .            (                 it  was  like  waiting  for  a  shoe  to  drop   &   it  never  would  .          )              but  he  came  to  realize  that  he  was  wrong  about  her  .  that  she  was  just  naturally   &   genuinely  a  decent  person  .  more  than  likely  a  big  reason  why  he  liked  being  around  her  .  she  radiated  positivity  .              (             something  someone  like  jessie  didn’t  always  possess  .           )                 ‟       well  here  i  am  ,  in  the  flesh  ,  ready  to  spice  up  your  life  ,  mags  .         „          he  smiled  ,  putting  his  arm  out  for  her  .         ‟         m’lady  ,  may  i  escort  you  to  the  nearest  coffee  stand   ?        „         the  male  joked  a  little  ,  beginning  the  walk  towards  the  coffee  .          ‟         so  what’ve  you  been  up  to  lately   ?   taking  the  motion  picture  world  by  storm   ?       „

no mater how much margaret had going on in her head she never let anyone know it. maybe it was a bad thing that her life seemed so perfect on the outside, one day the facade could come crashing down. she wouldn’t know how to deal with it all, but then again that seemed like a problem for a different day. today was a beautiful day and she was going to enjoy it, everything else could be dealt with at a later date. the blonde let out a breathy laugh “i can’t believe i was so lucky for you to grace me with your presence” she teased as she held onto his arm gently “well how kind of you” maggie said kindly “oh, i can only hope i am. they definitely are taking me by storm. i don’t even know what day it is.”

elizabeth had been reading the latest vanity fair feature story when her office door was pushed open, maggie coming into view. she could help but chuckle at her nickname for monica, knowing very well how accurate it was. “i would apologize for her absence, but something tells me that isn’t necessary.” closing the magazine and grabbing her purse, the blonde made her way towards maggie with a smile on her lips. “did you have a certain place in mind?” 

maggie waved at the girls words “not necessary at all, she wasn’t missed” a smirk playing on her lips as she slid her sunglasses back onto her nose “no i don’t. i figured we could explore and find some place a little low-key. i’d rather not have word get out that we’re playing hooky.” she led the way out of the offices and onto the busy sidewalk.

            “  it’s  nice  to  think  of  ,  sure  .  ”    holding  that  much  power,  james  wasn’t  as  interested  .  maybe  because  he  had  it  ,  but  he  knew  it  was  more  of  the  fact  that  king  midas’  story  was  a  cautionary  tale  of  being  careful  for  what  one  wishes  for  .  he  didn’t  want  to  bore  her  with  his  commentary  ,  so  he  agrees  with  her  .    “  i’ll  ask  lydia  for  help  .  ”   he  said  more  of  a  mental  note  for  himself.    “  how’s  your  husband  doing  ?   i’m  holding  a  little  soirée  in  my  house  this  saturday .  i’d  like  to  invite  you  two .   ”

maggie looked over the cover of the pages in front of her once more before she sat back in her chair, content and her mind running a mile a minute. she looked back over at james, smiling softly as he commented about asking the other woman for help. as he asked his question the blonde reached over and grabbed a cigarette from her clutch, lighting it swiftly and inhaling “oh?” she said as she blew the smoke out “he’s well, busy as can be..like normal.” another drag “thank you for the invitation, i’ll see if he’s available. does the invitation stand for one?”

connfm​:

          guilt  seemed  to  become  a  common  feeling  in  the  pit  of  his  stomach  whenever  he  was  near  his  wife  .  lately  ,  he  was  making  it  a  habit  to  be  less  &  less  present  ———  using  futile  excuses  of  work  overload  ;  not  that  it  was  a  total  lie  ,  certainly  it  helped  fabricate  the  truth  .  he  shrugged  off  the  coat  on  his  back  &  draped  it  over  the  rack  in  the  entryway  ,  making  his  way  into  the  kitchen  after  leaving  his  lover  to  go  home  .  ❛  good  .  ———  no  name  ?  ❜  connor  asked  beelining  directly  towards  the  counter  for  the  spoken  up  script  .  upon  skimming  the  first  few  pages  &  scrunching  his  brows  together  in  thought  ,  he  knew  it  wasn’t  intended  for  his  eyes  .  ❛  this  must  be  for  you  .  the  producers  didn’t  mention  sending  anything  new  over  to  me  &  all  mine  are  in  order  .  ❜

It was nice to see Connor at home so early in the evening. Most of the time she’d only feel the bed dip down in the middle of the night when he’d finally return home. Not that they were ever quite themselves, but here lately things had changed, she could feel it deep down in her bones. the blonde shook her head to his question as she grabbed them each something to drink. “Of course it is, Monica must have forgot to mention I had a script coming. I’ll add it to the stack I’ve got to go through.” she sighed “it’s nice to actually remeber what your face looks like” a small laugh leaving her lips “I know you’ve been so busy with work and I’m proud of you. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.” quickly her eyes lit up as she remembered the invitation “James invited us over for a small party this weekened. can you make it? or will I be making an excuse for my dear husbands absence?”

[maggietaylor]

morning meetings were a drag, everyone talking about her as though she wansn’t sitting right next to them. they planned her every move and had her life written out for her for the next three years. finally a little after noon when the office cleared out maggie headed towards the exit before stopping and taking a step into an office towards the front “she devil is gone she couldn’t even make it to my meeting. what do you say we go get some drinks this afternoon and let our hair down?” her head tilted slightly as she looked at elizabeth waiting for her answer.

the one thing maggie took pride in was knowing so many people. she was the bubbly and outgoing type and always made sure to speak with every new face in the room she was in. she loved making people feel comfortable and was thankful enough to find long life friends from her actions. the blonde had just left the first table read for the new film she was starring in, she mumbled her lines to herself, trying to get memorize them as quickly and efficiently as possible. her attention turned when she heard a familiar voice, happy to see jessie standing beside her “i’m glad you bumped into me also” she grinned “coffee sounds wonderful. i could use a little pick me up.”

                  some  would  probably  think  maggie   &   jessie  knowing  each  other  was  unexpected  .  not  because  she  was  a  more  known  face  in  hollywood  but  because  they  were  almost  complete  opposites  .               (             but  ,  jessie  found  that  intriguing  .         )              ⏤       something  that  seemed  to  be  a  common  way  to  meet  people  out  here  was  parties  ,  events    &   other  hollywood  esque  things  .  which  is  exactly  how  jessie  come  to  cross  paths  with  maggie  .       ⏤     she  wasn’t  like   most  people  he  spent  his  time  around  .  or  she  was  extremely  good  at  hiding  it  ,  because  she  seemed  like  one  of  those  genuinely  sweet   &   caring  people  .            (              maybe  that’d  be  a  good  influence  for  someone  like  jessie   ?          )                 ‟         glad  i  bumped  into  you  ,        „         the  male  began  with  a  smile  .            ‟        i’m  in  dire  need  of  some  entertainment  .       ⏤     coffee   ?        „

        “  anything  lydia  touches  turns  gold  .  ”    he  nods  his  head  with  a  slight  uncharacteristic  smile.    “  she  has  the  midas’  touch  ,  not  me  .  ”    at  her  response,  he  chuckles  amused  by  her  wit  .    “  smart  girl  .  ”    it’s  true  .  he  had  offered  the  roles  to  a  variety  of  actresses.    “  you  all  seem  to  fit  the  bill  perfectly  —  or  am  i  just  attracted  to  every  pretty  little  thing  i  see  ?   ”    he  answered  himself  sardonically  :     “  it  must  be  the  former  ,  no  ?  ”

“wouldn’t it be exciting to have that power?” she asked before biting down on her inner lip for a moment in thought. “well I should be making myself friendly with her instead of you it seems” she raised her eyebrow slightly “I know how easily one can get caught up on broken promises and I can assure you that’s not me.” a smirk playing on her lips “you’re most definitely attracted to beautiful things. you’ve got so many choices that it’s challenging to make the executive decision.” she shrugged as she sat back in her chair “I have no doubt you’ll choose wisely.”

          “  lydia  —  ”    his  ex-wife  .    “  and  i,  have  been  working  on  it  for  a  couple  of  months  now  .  ”    james  owed  lydia  the  height  of  his  career,  without  her  brilliant  execution  of  his  ideas  in  print,  he  would’ve  never  reached  the  level  of  fame  he  was  in  .    “  i  wouldn’t  want  to  steal  you  from  your  husband,  but  you’d  be  excellent  for  the  role  .  ”

Maggie’s ears perked hearing Lydia’s name, of course she knew who she was the two had made many films together and anything with their name on it was sure to be a shoe in during awards season. a grin appeared on her lips “I suppose this will be the next big movie then, eh?” her fingers skimmed the pages as she looked on “I’m sure he wouldn’t mind, I mean at least not enough to not let me do it. You’d really like me for this role? Or is that what you’re telling us all?”

[maggietaylor]

maggie peeped over towards the desk more as she read the title “title is catchy” she said before reading on “it’s quite good, where’d you find it?” 

           “  be  honest ,  ”    he  slid  the  script  towards  the  person  who  sat  opposite  of  him .    “  what  do  you  think  of  this  concept  ?   ”

[maggietaylor]

maggie had spent the day shooting promotional photos for her upcoming film, they had wrapped early so the blonde stopped by a favorite restaurant of her and her husbands to grab dinner. she had gotten home ten minutes prior to seeing the man walk into the kitchen “hi, how was your day?” she asked as she unpackaged the food from the containers, setting their plates down on the table “there’s a script on the counter, i’m not sure if it was left for you or for me” she smiled softly before sitting down in her normal seat.

hi guys, i’m s! coming out of retirement so bare with me and getting back into the groove of things haha. anywayyyy here’s a lil about my mags girl! 

(tw: war, death) 

margaret may taylor is the second of three children and the oldest daughter of james and may taylor. her father was a professor and her mother worked as a nurse

her and her younger sister are attached at the hip, they are best friends and always take care of each other. they hold each other close after losing their brother

the eldest and her only brother, charlie, was adored by everyone. he was the best big brother and her always let maggie tag along with him and his friends when they were kids. he was drafted to the war in 1942 and died two years later

maggie took his death the hardest and began to lose her light. she no longer had that person to look up to. soon after she began doing theater and quickly fell in love with it, finding happiness again. from there she quickly realized that she wanted to pursue a career in acting

she has been acting now for fifteen years, starting out gradually as a teen actor and now blossoming into the talented actress she is 

when she was a teenager she fell in love with a boy who her parents didn’t agree about. they wanted better for her, they no longer had charlie to fixate on and instead decided to take matters into their own hands. after being caught sneaking around with him she was made to tell him she could no longer see him. within the week her parents were introducing her into someone more “suitable” for her. as much as maggie was against this, she didn’t want to disappoint her parents, they had already been through enough. she ended up marrying a man she didn’t love, while the one she truly did carried on. this was her life now and maggie was determined to at least give it a shot, for a while she was fine with pretending and it didn’t seem that bad but soon she realized it would be harder than she thought. while she may love him as a close friend, she was never in love with him. 

maggie is a complete goofball, she’s a giant ball of energy and loves to make people smile (not hard with her contagious grin). she has an adventurous spirit and a heartwarming belly laugh. kindness radiates from her, always wanting to help someone and caring for people wholeheartedly 

she loves black coffee and milkshakes (or a scotch with two ice cubes), most of the time she’s got a camel cigarette hanging from her lip. she lives in a bathing suit and white t shirt while sunbathing with a book in her backyard. her two babies are her dog and cat. and she enjoys collecting classic books and abstract paintings
