Hey Everyone
I decided to update a bit early
Thank you all for reviewing :) i really enjoyed reading then
And yeah :)
Enjoy this chapter :)
Well…I traveled a lot, and ended up in living in Henderson, Nevada. I lived in a 3rd class apartment with a job as a waitress in a very nice five star restaurant. Since I was so smart, I managed to lose contact with Lacus. Luna became the make-up artist after Lacus switched jobs to become a designer for clothes. From what I heard Lacus was dating a famous director.
But ever since a year ago, I lost her number.
"You really should get up," Shiho, my roommate yelled.
I grumbled and turned to my side using my pillow to cover my ears.
"You have twenty minutes to get to work," Shiho said again.
I heard her and it took me five minutes to actually comprehend what she was saying. I literally jumped off the bed and rushed to take a shower in record time and putting on some jeans and a long sleeved shirt, I sprinted to the garage and sped to work. I arrived five minutes late unfortunately and was met with my evil bitchy manager.
"That will come off your paycheck," She said looking at her nail and then looking at her make-up with a compact mirror.
"Sorry ma'am," I said with a fake smile. I got to work and as the lunch crowd arrived.
By the time my shift was over, I was dead on my feet. However today something was different. I volunteered to dance at a charity function for children with cancer. There was an audition and after seeing my number they didn't care about anything else. However there was a catch. It was a dance show which I had to do with others. I didn't mind at all, and with there permission, I choreographed the whole thing. I was dressed in my costume and did my part without any flaws. And the charity rose over millions of dollar in the end. There was no publication for my name, which I was quite used to, but being on stage reminded me of my dream. A dream that would never come true.
Though what I didn't know that fate had other ideas for me.
I crawled into my bed, exhausted and I looked at the time which blinked 2:00 am before falling asleep.
I woke up late, and panicked rushing to get ready for my shift. Shiho tossed me a sandwich and some coffee, and my day continued its course. At 6 in the evening when I shift ended, I received a call from that charity counsel thanking for my contribution and that my name was taken as the minor choreographer. I rolled my eyes and said thanks, before hanging up.
I went home and turned on the television flipping through channels, bored out of my mind. Shiho came in and said, "That's it we're going clubbing."
"Hell no," I said slumping against the couch.
"Unless you want me to change you myself, go now!" she yelled.
"Right ma'am," I said knowing her threat was very valid. The girl was in the military since she was 16.
I changed into some 'clubbing' clothes and she drove us to a very hot spot club, which hosted celebrities.
"You know we'll never get in there," I said
"My boyfriend owns the joint," she said, "It won't be hard."
I looked amused as she called her guy and we arrived at the front and got in immediately. It was packed with celebrities and people I didn't even recognize.
"Where are we?" I yelled to Shiho as she looked around.
"Las Vegas' hot spot joint," she said dragging me to the bar.
We lived very close to Las Vegas, though I didn't even realize that we arrived into the city.
"You were sleeping," she said passing me a cocktail, "Drink up, it's a Friday."
I nodded and took a sip of the drink and looked around. There were people dancing under the disco floor. The music was loud and was vibrating the blood in my veins. I was about to take a step toward the music, when Shiho snapped my attention to her.
"What?" I asked
"I wanted to you to meet Yzak," Shiho said pulling the arm of a guy with platinum hair to her, "And Yzak this is my best buddy Cagalli."
"Nice to meet you," we both said at the same time with the same annoyed look.
All of us laughed, and I finished my drink.
"We're going to dance," Shiho said, "You should come."
"I should, shouldn't I?" I said smirking a bit.
"Yeah you need to show these people what dancing is," she said
"Do I?" I said
She tugged me to the floor as the song changed. I started moving to the song as the melody and harmony flooded through me. I did a spin and simply blew my mind away, letting my soul go free in the movements of my body. I didn't feel the presence of others, but instead was in my own realm. Shiho joined me for a few bits as she sang the songs as well rocking to the music. There was soon a group around us and finished off with a bang.
I laughed as Shiho and I fell to the ground laughing our heads off. I was a bit tipsy and a guy held out his hand for me, clearly impressed by my hip movement.
"Can I have your number," he asked putting a hand on my ass.
To his reply I slapped him in the face leaving him gaping and said, "Over my dead body chump."
"You just told off a very famous singer," Yzak said holding a drunken Shiho in his arms.
"Ohh his poor ego," I said, "He needs to get his mind out of the gutter. Seriously all guys have one thing on their mind."
"We do, blame the testosterone, but that not always what we look for in women you know. Sometimes that's not all we want," he said helping me into the back of a limo and Shiho right beside me.
"Well from my experience that always what guys want," I said.
"One day," Yzak said, "You'll meet someone. It just takes time."
I fell into a drunken slumber.
I noticed I was on a very nice bed. I looked around holding my head and saw Shiho snoring away on the bed across the room. We were in a fancy hotel room, and still in Las Vegas. I swore lightly at my pounding head and walked out of the room to bash into a person.
"Watch where you're going you evil chump," I said not really yelling because my head would hurt some more.
"Oh I'm so sorry," the female said.
"I'll forgive you if you can get me some Advil," I whined a bit stumbling into a washroom and looked through the cabinet to find nothing.
"Here," she said placing a tablet on my hand.
"You're a life saver," I said swallowing the tablet with some water.
She laughed and said, "No problem."
"I'm Cagalli, by the ways," I said taking out a hand.
"Miriallia," she replied shaking my hand.
"So are you rich to be staying at this hotel?" I asked
"Not me exactly, but my fiancée," she said, "He wanted a romantic night."
"Good catch," I said dully, "Anyways I got to go, thanks for the help."
"Bye," she said turning away while I went to wake up Shiho. She was already up and moaning about her hang over by the time I arrived. I laughed as she gave me a knowing smile to give her a nice remedy for the pain. Soon we were caffeine filled and stuffed with room service.
"I love your boy friend," I said sighing during a massage.
"He's great isn't he?" she said letting out a sigh as well.
"Where'd you meet the guy?" I asked
"Oh you won't believe it," Shiho said laughing a bit, "My dad and his mom are good friends and we meet 5 years ago. I saw him a few times afterward and one day at a party he randomly shoved me up a wall and started kissing me. Let's just say I played hard to get for a while after slapping him, but gave up."
"Why did you give up?" I asked smirking slightly.
"His mother was planning on arranging his marriage to this other girl. Since I showed no interest in Yzak she thought there was no hope for us, but secretly I was crushing hard on him. I told him my feelings kind of drunk out on a beach and we've been together ever since," she said.
"How long was that?" I asked
"It'll be six month next week," she said, "Speaking of which, Yzak told me to tell you that you should audition for this movie. He'll get you an appointment."
"Movie?" I said bewildered.
"He said that if you want a career in dancing you need to start off small," she replied thanking the massager and sitting up with a towel wrapped around her torso.
"Movie!" I said, "I only do stage dance."
"Just try it," she said frustrated, "All the guy needs to see is you dance once and just see, they'll accept you."
"I don't know," I replied
"Cagalli, I'll drag you there. Plus…it pays well and you need a change," she tried to convince me.
"Alright, I'll audition. But this is totally what I don't do," I said.
"Hey, one of Yzak's friends is the star of the movie too," she said, "You've heard of Athrun Zala right?"
"I haven't watched a movie for 3 years," I said, "I don't even know who Kira Yamato is."
She gaped at me and said, "Athrun has already won an Oscar for best actor and is ranked the sexiest man alive! How could you not know him?"
I shrugged and said, "Maybe because I don't care."
"Anyways, he's quite an eyesore," she said, "But if I weren't in love with Yzak I would have done anything to get him."
"Right," I said giving her a look as we both walked and changed.
After doing a bit of shopping I was dropped off at home, while Shiho and Yzak went on their date. Yzak gave me the date and time of audition.
"You'll do well," he said, "This could be the start of a nice career."
"Dancing backstage for a movie," I said sarcastically, "Nice career, my face will probably be on screen for a whole two seconds."
"Well they only want five dancers and with Athrun as the main and thousands of people auditioning, it's a big deal," he said.
I rolled my eyes and said, "That doesn't change that even if I'm chosen, where will that take me?"
"Just take a chance," he said, "You've got nothing to lose."
"Bye," Shiho said leaving with Yzak, saying, "Just think about it okay."
I stared at the piece of paper in my hands and decided what the heck, it wouldn't hurt to go and audition. What were the chances that out of thousands of dancers, I'd be even chosen?
I was in my bed later that night looking up at the ceiling pondering in thoughts. Soon as the night progressed my eyes shut and I fell asleep.
Ahh Monday morning, don't you just love them? Well if I wasn't late for work maybe.
"Holy crap! I'm late again," I scolded myself as I speed down the street. I bashed my head on the steering wheel as I realized I was stuck in traffic.
"Damn whoever came up with the invention of the bloody car!" I yelled
I arrived half an hour late, lucky me.
"Welcome to Le Accent de Cuisine Luxe, what would you like today?" I asked with a smile upon the rich customer seated before me.
"Oh hello again," Miriallia said looking up from the menu, "I didn't know you worked her."
"I didn't know you came here;" I replied back, "Let me guess you're boyfriend."
"That would be me," A tanned male with blonder hair spoke up with a grin.
"Ahh I see, I met your charming girl at that hotel," I said, "You're pretty loaded I see."
"I'm Dearka Elsman, pleasure meeting you," he said, "Have you heard of me?"
I smiled and said, "No am I supposed to?"
Dearka sighed and said, "Even being a famous cameraman, I get no recognition."
"Sorry, I'm not into movies," I said, "I barely remembering watching Grease."
They both laughed and my evil bitch manager said, "Attha you are not to mingle with the guests, that'll be an hour total cut off your pay."
I winced and said, "Yes ma'am."
Mir looked guilty and said, "I'm so sorry."
"No problem," I said with a sigh, "What you two love birds like anyways?"
They gave me their order and I went to tell the cooks. After delivering food to two tables and cleaning up one, I arrived back to Dearka's and Mir's with their food.
"You guys must be really famous, the chef cooked this in a matter of minutes," I said, "I hope you enjoy you're food."
"Thank you," Mir said.
I came back with bill afterwards and left taking their dishes away. After they had left with a good bye, I took the bill and saw the tip. Smiling I placed it in the receipts. Dearka tipped me way more than an hour worth of pay.
After arriving home, I stretched out on the couch and lay there watching a soap opera in disdain. I was really bored out of my mind and soon snoozed off to dreamland. Shiho woke me up later in the night.
"Hey how was work?" she asked
I laughed and told her all about it.
"What a bitch," Shiho said
"I always seem to get stuck with asses wherever I go," I said.
"Hmm?" she asked
I hadn't told her about anything of my past…yet.
"I had a fiancée once," I said, "Total asshole."
"How come I didn't know about this?" she asked
I shrugged and said, "Wasn't important."
"What happened?" she asked
"Umm…it didn't work out," I said. Typical line, but what was I supposed to say?
"Anyways your try-out is tomorrow do you need anything for it?" she asked
"Do I need to dress up?" I asked
"No," she said, "You want to practice?"
"We move along to the music they provide that specific moment," I said
"Okay, then you should go to sleep, do you need to take day off?" she asked.
"Nah, its right after work, I just have to drive to Las Vegas and be there on time," I said
"Don't be late please," Shiho said rolling her eyes.
"I'll try," I said smiling, "Anyways I'm going to hit that sack, good night."
"Night," she replied
Okay :) hope you all enjoyed reading the chapter

"What's with the stampede?" I asked my co-worker Megan.
"Apparently, that famous actor Zala is here," she replied putting her plates down.
"Zala," I said pondering for a moment, trying to recall the name.
She laughed and said, "Only you wouldn't know who he is."
I shrugged and said, "Can't help it, I have better things to have knowledge about."
"Well, I'm sure after you get one look at him, he'll stick in your mind," she said
"I'm sure," I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. Now I was really curious to know at least what he looked like so I charged up to where he was sitting.
Well :) you all gotta wait till next week to see what happens XD unless i decide to update earlier we'll see :)

Sincerely,
Sameraaaaa :D 3
