Note: Hi guys, thanks for the reviews! I knew I wasn't the only one who's missing Gil & Catherine ;-). I'm glad there are people who reviewed, and I hope you like this chapter as well! xx.
Chapter 2: The day you came.
I had a feeling that day would be different than the others. Unfortunately for me, it did began with a bruise around my eye. I covered it up the usual way, knowing no one would notice a thing. I dressed up like I usually did; a skanky, green, glittering bra with matching thong and a short, black, fake-leather pants. I knew I looked the way men wanted me to look. I knew Eddie liked me in this clothes. Secretly, I had always been hoping men weren't fixated on looks only. But I guess I still haven't met one who isn't. But I guess that has to do with my job as well.
I went up that stage the way I usually did. The crowd went crazy, and I started doing my usual routine. On the stage, around the pole… I knew that routine like the back of my hand. I had to do it over and over and over again. And men never stopped loving it. I closed my eyes briefly, pretending to be anywhere but the stage I was on. When I opened my eyes again I stared right into my public. And right into two bedazzling blue eyes. I knew most men in the crowd; they usually were in the palace more than twice a week. But this man, with those gorgeous eyes… I had never seen him before. I was very sure about that. He looked so much different from all those other guys in the crowd. His eyes were fixated on mine. Not on my body. I couldn't help but smile lightly at the man with those gorgeous eyes. I knew he knew it was for him. He didn't smile back though; he just kept watching. The rest of my routine felt like a blur; all I could think about was of how I needed to see that man when I would get off of the stage.
I walked away from the stage as fast as I could. Greeted everyone in a hurry, didn't listen to any compliments.. I simply didn't care. I made my way through the crowd, who were all fixated on another blonde on stage, and tried to reach the place at the bar where I had found those pretty blue eyes from on stage. Unfortunately for me, the guy was nowhere to be seen when I'd finally reached the bar.
Frustrated, I walked away. I got out of the fully crowded palace and found my usual spot in the dark outside, where I could lit my cigarette. I inhaled deeply, and thought about the guy. He had something special, something I couldn't put my finger on. It annoyed me that he was gone. I usually spent my entire night at the palace, not really caring for getting home to be with Eddie. But I decided that tonight, I would take off. If I wouldn't, my mind would probably stick to that interesting guy the entire night. And I didn't want that to happen.
A few minutes later, I walked away from the crowd in the palace, in the direction of my car. I bumped into someone on my way though. My first reaction was to start bitching about how that person should've been looking where he was standing –even though it was me who was looking at her feet,-. When I looked up though, I looked right into those glittering blue eyes that had been watching me earlier, and I felt a little shock of electricity waving through my body. He caught my purse and a sweet and masculine voice said: "I'm sorry. You okay?"
I hoped my smile was the way I imagined it to be as I said: "I'm fine, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking."
He smiled the cutest smile I'd ever seen at me, and I saw him turning a little red suddenly before he said: "You.. You're that dancer, aren't you? The one with the green top.."
I chuckled and said: "You mean the one you kept staring in the eyes? Yeah, that was me."
He smiled; he looked a little shy. It made him even cuter than I already thought he was. And at that same moment, I knew this wouldn't be the last time I would see him. Definitely not.
