Second chapter up! I've had this story for a few days so I'll upload quick. Hope you enjoy.
I hadn't got a look like that since…
"Freddork?" She breathes. My jaw hit the ground. She stands up and drops the heels in her hands. She walks over to me and stands so close I can smell her expensive perfume. I look into her eyes, her sapphire eyes. Those beautiful eyes I haven't seen in 5 years.
"Sam?" I look at her dark brown hair and the make-up and I can't see her. I can't see the tom boyish blonde with the long curly and unruly hair, with the layered clothes and the sneakers. I see a hot brunette with the body of a model and a face every woman wants. She smirks at me and then I see her. "It is you." I whisper. She runs into my arms and I hug her back, still in a bit of a daze. She pulls me away and drags me to the wall.
"So…" I say awkwardly and confused. She looks at me with a look that tells me to shut up with the small talk.
"I'll explain later, but first I need to get away from here before anyone realises that I'm gone. So you grab a cab and I'll come with you to your place." She ordered.
"Why my place?" I ask.
"Cos it's safe. And I need somewhere to stay. Please." She begs. I have never seen her beg. But I've also never seen her with dark hair and make-up… I nod my head and she grins. I feel a heavy thud on my abdomen. I look down to see a duffel bag. "You can carry my bag."
I can't refuse; I'm not even in control of my body any more. I grab her bag and call a cab, we get in and I tell the driver where to go. We pass a 24 hour mart and Sam shouts to stop. As we pull to a halt she turns to me and hands me a bundle of cash.
"What's this?" I ask confused even more.
"It's money Dorkward. Now go into that store and get me a blonde hair dye, my original colour." I nod my head and get out of the cab and shut the door, as I walk to the door I hear her shout my name. I look back at her questionably. "And ham. Lots of ham." I smile at her and she giggles.
In the store the smell of bleach wakes me from the surprise of seeing Sam again. I walk down the aisles and find the hair dyes. I see the closest to Sam's colour and put it in the basket. I then go the food and grab a basket full of the meat. I see a can of spray cheese next to the fridges so I pick it up and shove it in the basket. At the counter the greasy checkout teen stares me up and down and packs my purchase.
"Big night?" He asks sarcastically. I roll my eyes and leave the store to the girl waiting in the cab.
"What took you so long?!" She shouts when I step in.
"Had to kill more pigs to get you so much ham." I spit at her. She laughs lightly. We stop outside my building and she pays the driver. I lead her up to my apartment and unlock the door. She runs in before me. She looks around my two bedroom apartment. It consisted of open space with a huge double bed in the middle taking up a lot of the space for the living area, a small kitchen, a bathroom and a tiny bedroom with a small bad. She sat on the large bed and crossed her legs.
"Dibs." She grinned at me.
"But, it's my bed." I note. She grins again.
"Dibs! And I'm a guest." I rolled my eyes at her.
"Fine. Are you gonna tell me why you ran from fame?" I asked. She puckered her ruby red lips and thought.
"Can I use the bathroom first?" She asked. I nodded my head. She headed to the bathroom and took the hair dye with her. I cleaned up a bit as she was in the bathroom. It had just passed 2 in the morning when I heard the bathroom door open, I turned sharply and she pushed her arm through the crack in the door. I couldn't see her.
"I didn't bring anything to sleep in; can I use one of your shirts?" I laughed and passed her one of my old shirts. Another few minutes later she stepped out of the bathroom. It was like a scene from a movie. When the door opened steam clouded out around her as she emerged in just my 'TechNerd' shirt showing off her long bare legs. I led my eyes up her body until I saw her face, there was no make-up and her hair was blonde again and curly, it trailed down her body until it stopped at her curvy waist. I looked up at her now pink pouty lips and saw them curve into a smirk.
"You- you look like Sam again." I smiled at her. She grinned back and sat on the bed with me, she crossed her smooth legs and turns to face me.
"I know, I miss being me!" She laughed.
"Tell me why you ran." I asked her. She looked at me dejectedly.
"Alright, I will. I left Seattle 5 years ago because I was sick of my mother and how I was treated. I said goodbye to Carly and left the next morning. I got loads of different jobs and then when I was working in a bar for a few years, when the singer got sick so my boss offered me a raise if I sang for the night. I was so good that he kept me as the singer. Another year later while I was singing I got 'discovered' and got a record deal, it took a while for me to get the album and the songs." I smiled at her big break. "Then my manager set me up to sing at the awards ceremony. Everyone seemed to love me, but I wasn't me. My manager made me dye my hair dark brown because it was more sexy. He made me change my name too. The jackass."
"Why did you stay if you hated it?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"What was I suppose to do? I needed the money and it was a new start. So I changed myself, I became the 'Sultry Scarlet Siren' and I was loved. I made millions in just a year, and I was followed by photographer's every day."
"Why did you leave then?"
"I couldn't take it. The stylists telling me I couldn't wear what I wanted. The nutritionist telling me I couldn't eat my food. I needed a break; it got too much for me to take." She dropped her head. I moved over and hugged her lightly. "I'm hungry." She whispered into my shoulder. I reached for the bag and pulled out a packet of ham. She grinned and ate her own weight in meat. We stayed up for another hour talking about crap, and then she fell asleep. I pulled the covers over her and she snuggled into them. I looked at her before I left for the spare room. She looked so peaceful and sweet. I turned out the light and fell into the next bed.
When I woke the next morning I was groggy and tired. I walked into the living area and looked at my bed. I looked at the bed confused, who was that? Then all the memories from last light hit me. Sam! I was still confused. But I was glad to see her. I used the bathroom and then started on breakfast. I left the bacon to cook and headed into where Sam was resting. I look at her with her legs in different directions and her arms above her head; she had pushed the covers away onto the floor. She snorted loudly and I burst out laughing. She shot up at the noise. She looked around dazed and confused. Her blonde hair an unruly curly mess.
"Fredward?" her words were slurred.
"Yes, Sammie?" I tease. She shoots me a sleepy glare.
"Is that bacon I smell?" I laugh at her question.
"Yeah, it's for you. I have work in an hour, so I'll take a shower while you eat and get something on the way there. Will you be alright here by yourself?" She nodded.
"Where do you work?" She asked as she got up and headed to the kitchen. She came back with a slice of bacon hanging from her pink lips.
"Convo magazine, I'm the photographer." She stared at me.
"I love Convo! I'm in it all the time. When did you start?"
"About 6 months ago."
"Awesome! So, you're leaving me on my own?" She pouts.
"I have to go to work and people will recognise you there. I need the money. You should get dressed too." I tell her as I look at her dressed in just my shirt. She headed into the spare room and comes out dressed in one of my button up shirts and a belt, the shirt reaches her knees.
"There. I like this look, its tom boyish and sexy. Don't you think?" She asks me with a wink. I blush and nod.
"Do you not have any of you own clothes?" She shakes her head, her blonde curls bouncing around her. "Then what's in your bag?" I point to the heavy sack next to my bed.
"Food, I didn't have room for clothes…" she opens the bag to reveal different kinds of food. Chocolate, chips, meats and cheese sprays. I put my head in my hands. "Don't worry I'm going shopping later." My head shot up.
"You can't leave! If anyone sees you…"
"Fine, fine I won't go. God Freddie, still neurotic much?" She laughs a laugh that's like soft bells. It sends a shiver and a blush to my body.
"Good, I'm going to work now. Don't do anything reckless." I scold her lightly. She paints and innocent look on her pale smooth face.
"Me? You have no trust for little old me…" We look at each other for a few minutes until she bursts out laughing. "You shouldn't trust me, I'll try my best." She grins at me. I roll my eyes and leave for work.
