I step out of the cab rushing in my black heels.
I dash into the fancy restaurant.
My heart is racing.
I hope the make-up I have on hides just how red my face has turned.
This is my first date.
And I'm late?
Punctuality is something I should start practising. Jeez! I thought I had changed. But being late is like my hidden talent.
I look around and I spot him when he waves at me.
The first thing I notice is his brown beautiful
"We go live in...One.Two.Three."I take a deep breath.I'm doing this."Hello guys!", I face the camera. "Welcome to the sport central on BBC and thanks for joining me, Becca Sterling. Tonight, we are joined by Liverton star, Trent Aston."I turn to look at him.It's the first time I've seen him in a long time.I'm not breathing. He still has this much power over me.
"You!"I'm irked by how calm Kyle is just standing there, smiling at me.I can't believe that a few hours ago, I thought he was the hottest man breathing. Because I swear he's really not!"Me!""How the hell did you know my address?" I snap.I find that a little creepy."Your friend, Bruna," he says in a low tone.Uuugh! I'm going to kill that girl I swear."Listen, Kyle is it?"He nods.&n
I woke up the next morning with a migraine and a sharp pain in my foot.I groan in pain as I turn on the other side of the bed.I wish I could stay in slumberland forever.Wait!I'm in a huge blue jersey and some panties underneath. Oh no! What did you do last night Becca!This is not my room! And this is not my bed. It's a king-size bed with a white duvet and white pillows all around. The closet is open and I can see blue jerseys and expensive black suits hung neatly. The shoe rack near the closet shows a set of designer leather shoes, Louis Vuitton among many and of course Nike sneakers. This is a man's room.
The minute I step into my office, Tim comes rushing towards me.He's quick to stop me at the doorstep. He looks excited and I can tell he's happy because he calls me"Becks!""Yeah.""I have wonderful news!"I fold my hands across my chest."I'm listening.""The Managing Director asked to see you in his office."My eyes dilate, my mouth running dry."What?""Yeah, Mr
Okay, what the hell is that supposed to mean?I am about to put her in her place when the make-up artist comes over to do some touches on my face.After that, the cameras start to roll and we go live. I am tense, a film of sweat forming on my face. Ugh! I should be used to this by now.I thought Sarah Stone would try to make me look bad at my job in front of the cameras but she helps me calm down and relax when she signals the cameras to turn to her. I didn't expect that."And... Cut!"I let out a sigh of relief when the cameras stop rolling. Ugh! I screwed up on the first day on a new show. A show I've wanted to be in since forever. But thanks to Sar
Trent alights the car and bangs the door.He waves at everyone as he goes to the other side of the car. He opens the door for Stupid Sophie.Sophie is in a luminous green dress that's glittery with her entire back left for everyone to see. Her silver heels make her look taller than she is.Trent has her hand tucked under his arm when they step out of the car. She is grinning and laughing and he's looking at her like she means the world to him. The sight of them in each other's arms breaks my heart. It's the first time I am seeing them together in a long time."Trent!" Jesse, Kyle and the other guys are so excited to see him.Sophie t
For a bizarre moment, everything goes into slow motion and my mind goes blank trying to digest what he just said.Did he just say Sophie is the reason he came here in the first place? Not me? Sophie? He came to my small barbecue party just because his stupid girlfriend had insisted? This honestly hurts more than a stake in the heart of a vampire. I feel all the colour draining from my face.I feel Kyle's hand squeeze mine, then he turns to look at Trent."Trent, you are a good friend of mine. But the same way you would not want to see Sophie get disrespected is the same way I wouldn't want you disrespecting Becca."He glances at me then at Trent.
I storm into my house and immediately rip off the chitenge dress I was wearing.Now I am walking in my black bra and thong. I take off my heels and rush to my room to take a pair of scissors.I cut up the dress into small pieces cussing at Trent at the top of my voice. When the dress is in complete tatters, I leave it on the floor and go to my dresser table. I take all the beaded bangles and necklaces Trent bought me from Kenya and hurl them at the floor. I open my closet and grab all the jerseys and shorts he once bought me and throw them on the floor. I also don't forget the midnight blue dress he bought me for Jesse's proposal party. I cut it into pieces using a pair of scissors.
