This is gonna be the last chapter for the next 8 days because I'm going on a trip to Boston, New York, Rhode Island.. whole buncha places! SPRING BREAK HAS FINALLY COME! YATTA! So.. it seems everyone wants the generals.. *rubs hands together* This should be fun! MWAH! So.. here is your lovely chapter 6.. Its kinda bad.. hope I don't disappoint..
"That was it?" Serenity asked after the movie. I shrugged my shoulders and leaned back in the leather seats of my overly flashy limo. I took a sip of my coffee and looked at her.
"There's always the party." I told her. Serenity gave me this look of doubt.
"Okay, let me get this clear in my mind. So stars just get dressed up to show off their pretty little designers, and flaunt on the red carpet, go watch some horrible horrible movie then walk out and go to some party?" She asked again. I nodded. We had left to hordes and hordes of reporters that were sticking like smell on a pig… I really need to think of better comparisons. Anyways we had managed to elude them from Serenity's identity and they had been smart enough not to follow the limo.
"You have GOT to be kidding me. That's so.. so.."
"simple? Interesting? Shocking?" I suggested.
"I was more on the line of.. stupid, dumb, foolish, boring." She retorted raising her eyebrow. I grinned at her.
"Welcome to my life."
"You can have it. Sounds dull to me." She responded. I glared.
"Hardly! This is dangerous and stressing business!" I bit out.
"So is curling my hair" she shot back. The limo finally pulled up to a large mansion in the Santa Monica hills in Malibu. I jumped out of the limo.
"Save me from this sarcastic woman!" I cried out dramatically.
"Shove it and escort me in here." Serenity said as she gracefully stepped out of the car and picked up her skirts, "or so God help me I'll ditch you here by your self."
"You wouldn't dare!" I shouted. Serenity shrugged and started to get back into the limo. I grabbed her hand. Serenity laughed, got out and grinned in triumph.
"You're so fun to tease." She said before skipping up the stairs to the brilliantly lit house. I ran after here, and gently took her elbow just as we entered. The butler showed us to the large ball room area that was filled with fame sort to speak. The hostess was the CEO of CoverGirl. Her name was Lita Rogers although to almost all except for a very very select few, she was Miss Rogers. She was a very important person her name was highly respected. It was always an honor to get an invitation to her galas after premiers. She also happened to be in Sere's fab five group.
I remember that once something like Access Hollywood or Entertainment tonight or some show equivalent to that did a special on the fearsome foursome, as they were called.. Raye was one of the biggest models in the business, Amy was a top Fashion designer, although she wanted to be a doctor. Don't ask me how she switched careers like that. Doctoring was her passion I suppose, Designing was her way of making a living. Mina was another major model, her light innocent looks matched Raye's dark sensual ones perfectly for pictures, and then there was Lita. These four women practically ran the business of women's fashion. Anyways, I get distracted easily.. whoops.
Serenity and I were standing by the punch. Is it just me or do all dramatic ugly events happen near a punch bowl? It seems that every movie with a party something important happens near the punch bowl. Its rather ridiculous. Serenity nudged me lightly.
"Your er.. ex-fiancée is coming over and she looks like a rabies infected dog." She whispered with a giggle. Beryl strutted over, her hips swaying seductively, her hair barely kissing her neck, and too much flesh revealed through that dress for my taste. She made Jennifer Lopez look like a conservative, modest dresser. She sidled right up to us, like a snake.
"So Endymion.. got yourself a new little lady eh?" she hissed before pressing up to me in a compromising position, "you could still have me" she whispered in what I suppose she thought was sexy. I pushed her away as if she had the plague. Serenity folded her arms in front of her and gazed at the scene in a wry amusement. Beryl spun from me to look at her.
"And who is this? She's not an actress or someone would have recognized her, she's not in the movie business, or the music business. Why Endymion, your taste has gotten ten times worse. You picked her up from some street corner I presume. What are you going to do little girl after this night is over?" she demanded, we were getting an audience, Serenity didn't look at all annoyed, I was getting angry, "going to brag to your little friends about being with the upper class for a night? You're just a no body." Beryl hissed, her hands on her hips as if a challenge to Serenity. I stepped forward to defend my date before her white hand held me back and she tilted her head thoughtfully to examine the red haired girl standing before her. Serenity's mouth twitched but before she could say anything..
"What's going on?" a voice demanded, I caught sight of a head of silky chestnut hair going though the crowds. Lita Rogers shoved through to the center of this little audience, her eyes roamed towards Beryl, then to me and then finally landed on the beautiful girl between us. Lita's face lit up and she rushed over to Serenity, shoving Beryl out of the way.
"Serenity Carroway what in the seven hells are you doing at a party like this?" Lita demanded. Serena just laughed and gave the taller woman a gentle hug.
"Hello Leets.. what do you think? Messing with peoples minds by hanging out with old gruff and grumble over there." She said pointing to me. Hey! I didn't grumble.. all the time.. and I wasn't gruff.. on a few occasions, but I certainly wasn't old! There! Ha! Lita threw her head back and laughed.
"still pal-ing around with this one are you?" she asked elbowing me. Oof! Yikes that hurt!! Did that girl work out or something? She was strong! Beryl appeared to feel a bit left out because she stepped forward.
"Who is she?!" Beryl demanded pointing an accusing finger to Serenity. Lita glared at her as if she were the dumbest person on earth.
"Where have you been?! This is Serenity Carroway, only one of, if not the best model I ever had." Lita explained. My jaw dropped to the ground, along with all of the people in the room. MODEL? SINCE WHEN WAS SERENITY A MODEL? Why had she never told me?!
"When you were in Europe testing out your music Endy. It was only for a while because Mina was sick and Lita wanted me to take her place." Serenity explained. I swear sometimes that woman was psychic. I nodded slowly. Lita shooed all of her guests away from the punchbowl and spun around and glared at both of us again. Beryl had been shoved away.
"You are going to the Christmas party of course? You and Neph?" Serenity asked, her eyes wide with pleading, her lower lip trembled. Lita looked at her with a stern face before it completely softened.
"Damn how do you do that face?" Lita demanded. Serenity giggled. I laughed.
"Lita she can get anything she wants if she uses that face. I hate it, one of these days I shall find the cure so it shall no longer effect me, and then I'll give it to you.." I said, poking Serenity in the stomach, she squealed, jumped away from my hand and glared accusingly. I couldn't help it! It was fun to tickle her! Lita laughed again before leaving to check on her other guests. Serenity and I stood there the entire night, making wisecracks on the guests as well as the movie we had just scene. As if she hadn't said enough embarrassing things during the film. What I didn't notice was that in the shadows was a certain red head who was glaring at all of us, fury and vengeance written in her eyes.
I'll see you guys in 8 days@ I promise I'll have the next chapter out by then!! *super duper hug!!*
