Chapter Two
Courtney's POV
Time Rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
Just as I was finishing lip synching those two lines I noticed someone or ones shouting OH MY GOODNESS and I looked out into the audience. There sitting at a table was Bridgette, Geoff, and Duncan. It just figures that my old life would come find my new life. I don't want to see any of them. Suddenly my dancing seemed awkward and inappropriate. But I didn't let that show on my face.
When the song ended I did a curtsey and walked off stage and into the back.
"So who was distracting you?" Georgia asked me from the back.
"What do you mean?" I lied.
"Your left arm dropped in the middle of the song. It was supposed to go up. You only forget steps when someone is in the audience distracting you." She said matter-of-factly.
"That guy from Total Drama, was in the audience." I said.
"Duncan was in the audience!" she shouted.
"Shush! And yes he is. I don't know what he is doing here, I don't want to see him," I said depressed.
"You have to confront your fears Court." Georgia said.
"I know, but not now!" I yelled.
"Go," Georgia said pushing me out the door. I didn't even notice we were standing by the stage exit. I didn't notice we were moving.
I almost tripped when I noticed my fishnets were down around my ankles. I stuck one leg against the wall and pulled my stocking all the way up to my knee. As my stocking was half-way up when I heard someone come up behind me.
"Princess," Duncan said.
"Hey Duncan," I said switching legs.
"That's really hot," he said.
"Thanks, I was tripping over them," I said turning around.
Duncan looked different than I remembered. He had just plain black short hair now, and he was dressed in normal clothes, and no piercings. His black button down and jeans looked good without the piercings.
"You look good," I said.
"Thanks my job kind of required me to look normal," Duncan said.
"Oh yeah I heard you're the head of a major business." I said remembering the article I saw in some magazine months ago.
"Yep, and you have changed a lot too." He said.
"Thanks, I left Pennsylvania after I turned eighteen and came here. I found the Burlesque Lounge and have been dancing ever since." I explained.
"I have got to say that I love the whole dancing in the bra and underwear thing," Duncan added.
"It's too bad you didn't come on another night. Sometimes we end up naked on stage covered in nothing but feather fans," I said.
"Court!" Bridgette shouted, hugging me.
Duncan's POV
WOW. Seeing Courtney right in front of me is amazing. I always wondered where she went, but I never expected this. I spent the past five years in college and I even spent my senior year in college to graduate early. I am almost twenty two now and already the head of a major business.
And it was all to win Courtney back, but apparently life likes to screw with me.
Because as I looked at the once ultra-conservative girl that I love, stick her three inch stiletto against the wall and pull up her fish net's I realize that things have changed. I just watched the love of my life dance in inappropriate ways I didn't know existed.
"So why did you decide to do this," Bridgette asked.
"Well because of Duncan actually," she said motioning to me. Stupid, stupid me.
"Why me?" I asked.
"Well, I realized that I was a huge bitch and so I moved here because everyone at my old school and from my old town hated me after seeing me on TV. So I ran away and came here and found Tess. She hired me to start dancing and I have been moving up ever since. I understand now that I just had to loosen up and do something different with my life other than be focused on Harvard. So I never even went to college. I think this job is a lot cooler than being a lawyer." she said.
Wait she skipped college?
Who is this girl and what's wrong with her?
AN: How was that? Chapter Three coming soon! R&R please!
