Chapter 4

I walked out of my dancing school and headed for the bus stop. In meantime I was reading a flyer.

'Dancer and Extras need for a high production music video, auditions will be held at the BMG studios on Saturday at 10am'

'Sounds cool, plus Liz is a model, they'll want her' I said to myself. Suddenly I walked into something hard and fell backwards.

'I'm so sorry' came a voice, I felt someone's hand on mine and pull me up.

'Oh gosh, I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I'm going' I managed to say. Finally catching a glimpse of whatever I bumped into I found myself facing a very attractive lad with baby blue eyes and blondish hair.

'No, no I'm sorry' he said 'Are you okay?'

'Yes yes' I nodded to convince him.

'Well I better get going, sorry' he smiled and walked away.

I sighed loudly and continued walking 'And Mel says rude people live here, oh please!'

I applied make up to the last model, I gathered all my stuff up and was ready to leave.

'Hey there' someone whispered as I felt their arms wrap around me.

'Scott?'

'How did you know?' he asked curiously.

'Your cologne, I can sniff it out anywhere' I giggled. He turned me around to face him and kissed me.

'So are you coming to the party?'

'Yes, and my friends too'

'All of them?' he asked.

'I'm not sure about Liz and Mel though'

His face seemed to lose all its expression all of the sudden.

'Whats wrong?' I asked concerned.

'You..have a friend...named Mel?' he blurted out, choking on his own words.

'Yea..she's a sweetheart, why?'

'Nah it can't be' he said to himself, making me more confused 'Nothing, just a flashback'

He kissed me again this time longer 'The limo will pick you up at 7 and I'll meet you there' I nodded in obedience as he kissed me again.

'I can't believe people actually come to drink at 11 o'clock am' I said to Jake who was standing near by.

'Well what do you expect? Is Becky coming for her shift?'

'No, we have this party to go to today' I replied while taking down chairs from the tables. After all the chairs were down I walked over to the bar to begin straightening the glasses.

'Hi there' I heard a voice coming from the other side of the counter, I stood up and found myself facing the lad I met last night.

'You're back here?' I asked rudely.

'My mate left his wallet here, I came back to see if anyone found it' he replied with a grin.

'Nice try' I mumbled and walked over to the end of the bar, grabbed a box with 'Lost & Found' on it and handed it to him.

'Have fun'

'Are you always this moody?' he asked, this time without a smile.

'Only to you' I said 'Besides I got lots of work to do, so get your wallet and let me get on'

'With that attitude your business must be slow' he said nonchalantly while taking a look through the box filled with crap.

'No not really' I answered.

'Found it!' he held up a small wallet to my face. I smiled to show him how much I cared.

'My name is J, short for Jason' he held out his hand. I looked at it hesitantly before shaking it 'I'm Liz'

'Oh finally! Well Liz, nice meeting you' he said 'I was wondering if you would like to go out for dinner tomorrow?'

I rose my eyebrow at him questionably 'Alright..I guess'

He took my hand and kissed it 'Thank you'

'You better pick up your pace if you want to leave early!' Ali ordered. I was in the back room opening boxes and hanging the clothes on the clothes hangers. The stench of vintage clothing was getting to my head as well as Ali's voice.

'Ritch!' I heard her exclaim. Instantly my heart began to beat faster, I popped my head through the door to see what was happening. Ali had her hands wrapped around his neck like a glue, he tried to smile but seemed a bit shy.

'I just came to...' he looked over to and smiled but soon jerked his head away from my direction 'To buy a shirt'

'Well, we have really nice shirts for lads like you' Ali said 'What are you looking for?'

I walked out of the backroom and leaned against the wall and watched them. Ritch looked in my direction once again and smiled 'Well this is good' he said picking out a polka dot polyester shirt from the 70's. Ali looked at him weirdly 'Umm, may I ask where you going to wear that to?'

Ritch looked at the shirt and realized what he was holding, he quickly put it back to the rack and acted like it never happened. 'Actually I came to ask you...' he looked my way again 'If you would like to join me for dinner tomorrow?'

Ali's face lit up like a candle 'Ofcourse, I would love to!'

I could feel my heart sink, a lump in my throat didn't help either. I casually slipped back into the backroom where I could cry my guts out.

I walked into the house with my dress over my shoulder and screamed 'Anyone home?'

Soon after Becky appeared from upstairs with her black hair half tied up, with curls falling out of it, and another straight half down.

'Ahh, you're ready?' I asked.

'Just my hair, besides its only 4:30, we leave at 7 right?'

I nodded while putting dress on the couch, I picked out a purple-blue silk dress, with spagheti straps.

'Anyone else home?'

Becky shrugged as she took a seat in the arm chair 'Mel called..she said she'll be home at 5'

'So she is coming?!?' I asked hopefully. Becky nodded in agreement.

'Great!' I clapped my hands and ran to the kitchen.
