Chapter 4
Mewsette stood in middle of the stage, her hair hung in large wavy curls down her shoulders and back, it was pulled back by a maroon fake rose with embroidered diamonds on its petals and her body was harshly shaped by the red whale bone corset, she was no longer the innocent 17 year old, she was now a living and breathing Emita. The director smiled happily at the outfit...she looked even more beautiful than yesterday...and he knew she was born to play this role...
"Okay Mewsette, please take it from the top," he shouted from the audience. Suddenly the blond haired runner up pounded her way out to the stage...
"Monsieur, Ms Daee has already gone twice...isn't time to see the other girls?" she hissed as she brushed her straight bangs from her face... Mewsette looked down for a moment and then nodded her head...
"It is only fair Monsieur," she said quietly...the haughty blonde girl smirked in satisfaction...the director burst out laughing...
"I'm sorry Ms..and who do you think you are telling me what to do?" he asks her...the stubborn blonde girl smile was washed away from her face...
"Now if I want to hear Ms. Daee sing once more...you have no say in it...unless you want to director the show?" he snarled...the girl bowed her head...and walked off the stage.. Mewsette twirled her hair between her finger and thumb...the director's expression softened...
"Mewsette I would like to speak with you in private...please come down here..."he asked...Mewsette walked gracefully down the stage and meet the director at the bottom of the steps...
"You have the part Mewsette," he said smiling...Mewsette face brightened and a smile spread across her face...she took his hand in her own and kissed it...
"Thank you Monsieur!" she cried happily...he blushed slightly...
"I would like to talk the rehearsal dates and times over with you during dinner tonight..That is...if you will go..."he said shyly...Mewsette blushed...the director was very handsome and probably only 22..what harm could a little meal have and he knew she wasn't legal...hopefully...
"I would love that...where at?" she asked...He smiled and told her of a restaurant in the middle of France...
"I'll pick you up around 7 then?" he asked...she nodded her head slightly and turned her heel and walked away...
She was going to be Christine Daee...She was going to live out her dream!..But suddenly she stopped half way up the steps...
"Have you picked out the phantom yet?" she asked...the director smiled...
"Yes his name is Tony...he is around here somewhere..."he said...Mewsette smiled again and headed up the stairs...
I wonder what he is like, she thought to herself...
