Promise Me Chapter 8

"The next gorgeous girl I see," Nikolas asked disbelievingly. "Do you know what could possibly happen if I did that?" "I feel like I'm going to regret asking this but I'm just dying of curiosity," Lucky joked. "If I did that, this 'gorgeous woman' or whatever, would barely be able to put a sentence together, not able to remove herself from her reflection, or even worse." "And, you know Nikolas, I was watching this movie last week and this really beautiful woman turned out to be a man." "Ugh! Thanks Lucky," Nikolas groaned. "I'm just kidding, you have to stop being 'Mr. The glass is half empty' and find someone," Lucky had stopped laughing and become more serious. "With Helena taking all of my money away, the only thing I need to find is a flat mate to help make rent." "Whatever bro, it's your life, and if you want to be alone and miserable be it. I have to pick up Liz at Kelly's. See you," Lucky got headed to the door. "Bye, bro wish me luck," Nikolas said more to himself, but having no idea what he was talking about.

"Modeling," Gia asked, "sure what little girl doesn't." "No, you don't get it, I own a cosmetic company; okay well almost half of one, and right now we are looking for our signature model." "Okay, Carly right," Gia asked wanting to make sure she had her name right, "I'm flattered that you want me to model, but I just want a nice simple job, low-key." "Gia look," Carly had put on no-bull demeanor, "you think about this over night, and come to my office tomorrow morning," Carly told her as she gave Gia/Catie her card. "Than if you still haven't changed your mind I can find something else for you, deal?" "Are you for real?" Catie couldn't believe her new dumb luck. "Just please SERIOUSLY think about it! BYE!" Carly ran off before giving Gia/Catie a chance to reply. "Bye, " Gia said to herself.

OUTSIDE OF KELLY'S

Lucky grabbed Carly's arm as she was hurrying past him. "Hey watch it! Don't manhandle me!" "Jeez! Carly calm down, I just want to ask you something." "Make it fast," Carly was more than annoyed by now, she had her hands on her hips and was preparing sarcastic comebacks. "Who was that girl you were talking to?" "Oh, uh, Her name's Catie, she's new in town, she might be my new assistant. Why? Finally seeing Little Lizard for what she really is?" "No, not quite," Lucky said choosing to ignore Carly's sarcastic comment. "Than what is it?" Carly shook her head as Lucky started to open his mouth. "Oh, whatever I don't care! Look I didn't have time but can you tell my mom about Catie and tell her that she either be needing a room above Kelly's or an apartment at the Brownstone." "Sure no problem," Lucky answered but was unsure of his cousins motives. "Thanks, See ya," Carly said as she walked away.

Lucky shook his head trying to un-confuse himself from his run in with Carly. Though parts of the conversation stood out clear as day. "Hey, your Catie right?" "Who are you," Gia demanded. She was still nervous, and it seemed as though everyone in the town wanted to know everything about her. "I'm Lucky, my aunt owns this place, and I heard you might be looking for a place. But if now is a bad time, I can find you later," Lucky said as he started to get put of his seat. "No, sit down, I'm sorry, people have just been asking so many questions I started to get annoyed. And yes I am Catie, and I am looking for a place to stay." "Nice to meet you Catie, now my brother, Nikolas, owns this beautiful cottage. He's looking for a roommate."
