Chapter 2
"HERE DRINK THIS! IT'LL MAKE YOU WANT MORE FUN!" Toussaint shouted. Not thinking twice I took the cup and swigged it in one toss. Suddenly the room began spinning around me. I was going to faint if I didn't get out.
The door! Where was it? It seemed like it was taking forever to find it but I did and practically threw up as the cold air of the brightly lit lobby hit my body.
I rushed to one of the mirrors to look at my face. I looked horrible. But it didn't matter how I felt, I couldn't get her out of my mind… Bejewel… she was precious.
I had watched her dance, dance with all of those men. Yet she didn't look like she was happy. She looked as if her life were going to end if she didn't perform to please. I couldn't avoid the thought any longer, I was in love. I knew it.
After a couple of seconds of deep breaths I looked back into the mirror to not just see my own but… it was Bejewel's as well. She was looking into the mirror behind mine. She looked like she had been crying.
Such a beautiful face. Her hair fiery red and filled with glitter and her eyes a brilliant blue. I felt my face smile and realized she was looking at me. She smiled shyly and looked at her fingers.
I couldn't help but to express what was in my heart.
"You're one in a million
Oh
Now
You're one in a million
Oh."
I sang before she smiled. For some reason tears brimmed her eyes and she sucked her breath in viciously breaking into a coughing hysteria.
Spinning around I grabbed her before she fell.
"Oh my god are you all right?" I asked worriedly.
"Oh yes, of course. It's um just these costumes. That's all really! Thank you." She stood and backed away covering her mouth. Her face was deathly pale.
However she was probably right. Her waist was smaller than anything and she had just finished a spectacular performance. She glanced up at me and smiled again shyly.
"You're one in a million
Oh
Now
You're one in a million
Oh."
I repeated, but much softer this time. I didn't understand. I felt like such a dork but the words were filled with such truth. I leaned in closer to her and wrapped my arms around her back. I leaned down to her lips but if any other time wasn't worse someone came bursting through the doors and she pulled away.
"Zacherie! What are you doing?" She put on a fake smile.
"Me my dear? Looking for you. Get back in there and make them men thirsty!" He boomed and went back the way he came. She began to go but I couldn't let her.
"No wait!" I took a quick step. She turned as her flowing hair did with her.
"You're one in a million
Oh
You're one in a million."
She sang to me this time and a huge smile danced onto my lips. Did she feel the same? Were her feelings for me just as priceless as mine were for her?
"Goodbye." She whispered and was gone just as quickly as she had appeared. However I wouldn't allow that goodbye to be our last.
