A strange-looking family of five was seated around the table of a seven-star restaurant. Judging from their orders, the huge spread of food on their table, and the number of diligent staff that were on standby to privately attend to them, the other customers concluded that the strange family were indeed odd-looking but they were definitely not the sort of people to mess with, so they forced themselves to look away from them and concentrate on having their meal.Mr Finnegan, the manager of the restaurant where the five were currently seated and having dinner was an average-sized man who always wore a smile on his face. Mr Finnegan’s smile bloomed wider than usual as he hurried over to the special guest’s table, he gave a bow to Noah who was currently watching Lola add more food to the plates of the three children. “Mr Sanchez.” He called. “Hope you find the food to your liking sir? You see... You arrived on such short notice but we made sure that only the finest of our chefs handled t
Aria blinked multiple times at the opened-up screen of her laptop, not sure if she was seeing things. She squinted as she clicked frantically on her laptop and zoomed in further on the page. Her eyesight was indeed still functional and no this was no joke! The latest mail in her inbox said it all. It read, “Dear Aria Davis, Congratulations on your successful audition with the judges! It is with great enthusiasm that we extend an invite to you to join the agency’s....” “Aaaah!!!..” Aria squealed in excitement, not bothering to read the rest of the words contained in the unexpected letter. It’s been weeks since her last audition and she had long lost hope of even receiving a response from any of the dance agencies. “Lola would be so happy to hear this!.” She mumbled to herself and let out a grin. At this thought, the young woman picked up her cell phone and dialed Lola’s number.“Where are you?.” Aria asked the instant the call connected, then glanced at the time... “What could Lola a
Lola locked the door from behind as she walked into the bedroom. A soft melody drifted through the window into the room from the street below. On nice evenings such as this, Lola would stand by the open window, which gives a nice view of Rosewoods, and just stare, but tonight, she was not in the mood.She slumped down on the comfy already-made bed and stuffed her face in the pillow. Tonight was meant to be spent reminiscing about old high school memories with Noah Sanchez and reeling in the less than three hours late news that she was now officially Noah’s girlfriend. So how did things get so crazy? How could her own best girlfriend be in love with her?“Jeez!.” Lola mumbled, feeling lost. She turned over on the bed and propped herself up in her arms. But Aria?… There must have been signs right? “Well, maybe I’m pansexual..” Aria’s random words the other night at Maria’s garden rang in her ears and Lola resisted the urge to scream for being so ignorant. Turned out those words were n
The brunette-haired girl was dressed in all black. Black perhaps, because her mood was equally as dark as the color was. “A cappuccino please.” She ordered, tapping on the menu with her fingers before she slid it over the table to the waiter. “Right away ma’am.” The waiter responded with a smile and accepted it before hurrying off to the counter.Aria glanced around the large coffee house with mixed feelings. She had noticed the new shop while taking a walk in the area last week and had wanted to visit the coffee house for the first time with Lola. She swallowed and took a glimpse at the time on her wristwatch. She was thirty minutes earlier than the appointed time for their meeting....and so was Steve. “Baby.” An excited voice called from behind and Aria sighed inwardly as the man's face came into view.“Steve. You are here early.” Aria pointed out. “Ordered a cappuccino already, what would you like to have?.”“Black, strong coffee,” Steve responded with a wink, then a quick rub of
"See?. Even my wife isn't so pleased by your foolish actions, Move her things to the master's bedroom immediately!." Noah instructed, his icy glare forcing the men to respond quickly.“Yes sir!.” The bodyguards responded simultaneously and the hurried sound of footsteps filled the room. Just as the last man left, Lola turned to face Noah with a reddened face, her eyes narrowing at him. The man did not look one bit sorry for the brazen lie he’d uttered seconds ago and instead stared back at her lazily like he had no idea what it was that he had done.“Never pegged you to be a fibber Noah Sanchez.” Lola singled out with her both arms crossed against her chest. “I don’t know what you are playing at but I would remain In. My. Room. And not in yours...” she warned.“That won’t be a problem...” The man countered, his handsome face bearing the ghost of a grin.“...your room is also mine as mine is yours, does not matter what room you choose to stay in. I will gladly go there with you withou
The morning light casts on the two figures in the bedroom. One who couldn't sleep a wink the previous night and the second, who had silently kept her company through the night.As predicted, after series and series of rapid news and investigations the night before, Lola's identity had been revealed to the public. Noah's men were quick and had shut down the news source in less than ten minutes after Noah's instructions but #yourdancemuse was a famous dancer and her previously secret celebrity identity only got more people interested in both the passionate dancing girl and the news of her identity. They recognized the background from the video as it matched all the other uploaded dance videos. The video had also been forwarded millions of times and the exposure from the public wasn't one to be curbed so easily. Soon, Lola's phone had blown up with calls and messages from both familiar and unknown lines including Maria, Josh, James, and even Aria and Noah had been forced to take the phon
"Your new granddaughter-in-law is a secret dancer. Tsk tsk, she belongs to that dirty entertainment industry."Grandfather Sanchez’s eyes narrowed at Charlotte's words. His new granddaughter-in-law Lola? How dare this woman refer to his pure and innocent Lola as dirty? You indeed know how a person is the instant they open up their mouth!Charlotte Sanders misunderstood the look in the old man’s eyes and mistook it for anger directed at Lola. Her words became sharper with the sole intention of making the Sanchez family elders understand what a disgrace Lola was and how unfit it was for such a woman to be married to a son of the Sanchez family. After all, what upper-class family in the city would want to be associated with the entertainment industry? The idea itself was unappealing to higher society much more a additionally influential family like the Sanchez. “She dances for the public in such an ungraceful way. Not elegant at all for a lady...” Charlotte continued to run her mouth.Des
Lola stood in the dressing room, her hazel eyes glued to her reflection and to that of the stylists in the mirror. In two hours, she would be boarding a vehicle prepared by Noah to convey her to Rosewood's MT Media building, and in three hours, she would be facing reporters, loads and loads of reporters who would be interested in asking her loads of questions.**Flashback to two days ago**Lola switched her phone back on to reach Maria who she knew must have seen the news. But Lola was not prepared for the disturbing phone buzz that came with that decision. Noah who had walked into the room just in time hurriedly took over once again, retrieving the phone from her hand and placing it on airplane mode for the time being. "Were you trying to call mom?." Noah asked, his voice cool and calm as he stared at the girl on his bed. She had been indoors for two straight days and he had opted to work from home to keep her company. Lola’s fans had been scarily fast and had taken refuge in front
