The person that walked in was someone I could only dream to be as big as in the music industry, someone that was known for being one of the best singer songwriters of this generation, Amy Raudenfeld.
Amy Raudenfeld was known to being a self-absorbed asshole. She didn't do anything to prove the media wrong either. Maybe she was tried of what people said or she just didn't give a damn about what anyone thought about her. She was famous for being mysterious and witty. It was like she had a permanent smirk on her face.
She was wearing tight black jeans with a white shirt tucked at the front under a black leather jacket. I can't lie she looked great. But I never said she wasn't attractive, it was just the way she was that I didn't like.
She walked in with that signature smirk on her face and said, "Calm down, Lauren. You've been my manager for 5 years now, I think it's time for you to get use to me being late all the time."
Lauren sarcastically laughed at her and told her to sit down. Manager? That makes sense. Amy looked at me with what I thought was a surprised expression, but she quickly looked away before I could be sure. I didn't expect her to say anything to me and I was right when she didn't. Lauren started talking again about what she wanted this video to be about.
"I want this video to be all about dancing, from beginning to end. We are thinking of renting out a fancy ballroom to shoot the video in. Do you know how to dance Karma?"
I did know how to dance but I wasn't a professional or anything like that.
"We will have a choreographer to teach you the moves. We just need to know if you know the basics." Lauren reassured.
I nodded my head and she smiled.
Amy looked over at Lauren and whispered something in her ear.
"Okay, great! Amy and I will be back in a second."
With that Lauren and Amy were gone, and I was left there to think about what I just got myself into.
Lauren came in after a couple of minutes and said, "You got the part if you want it."
I was shocked thinking that millions of people probably auditioned for this part and I got it just like that. How is that possible?
Lauren saw the look on my face and said, "Amy wanted you to have this part. Why? Beats me. But for some reason she turned down every other person in this book, who auditioned. I was surprised when she said she wanted you too, considering we had actual models audition for this part. But it's her choice after all, so what do you say? You want the job or not?"
I didn't know if I should take that as a compliment and be flattered or offended by the insult.
"Come on love, I don't have forever. Yes or no?" I quickly said yes, and she said she would email me the details.
The whole way home I wondered why Amy wanted me. She could've had anyone but she chose me… I couldn't stop thinking about it. I finally let it go and felt relieved that I actually did it. I got my first leading role. It was something to celebrate. I texted my best friend Shane, who I met when I moved out here; He texted me back quickly congratulated me on my part, and said we should go to this new club he found out about and I told him to pick me up at 10.
When I got home I went into my room and planned on watching some random movie on Netflix. My apartment was the prefect size for me; there were two small bedrooms and a living area. It was a cozy little apartment. My room was decorated with music posters and records. My table had about 5 notebooks of songs I've written, some were finished some were in the process of being. When I get bored, I go to this old dock on the lake that no one went to and sat there to write more songs or to just to think. It was really relaxing.
When it was 8:30, I decided to get ready. I took a quick shower and got dressed. I picked out another black dress that was tight around my curves. When I got done with my make up I heard the doorbell ring. I rushed to open the door and Shane was on the other end.
"Damn, you look great!" I started laughing and told him, " Thank you! I need to grab my purse and then we can head out."
All the way to the club, Shane was going on about this new guy he was seeing and how he was very rich. I was actually proud that Shane found someone.
"I actually think I like this guy, not for his money but for him," Shane continued.
I'm so happy for you Shane, maybe one day we can have a lunch date so I can meet him."
"You'll actually see him today," he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well he kinda actually owns the club we're going to." I should've known.
We walked into the club without having to wait in the line. I guess Shane dating the owner had its perks. This club was fancy, every person in here looked like they were well established. Shane and I made our way to the bar; we ordered two shots to get ourselves started. Shane and I settled on sitting in a booth at the back of the club so we could talk without having to yell too much. I was never really that big of a drinker. I only drank during occasions or when I had to.
"What's it like meeting a big time singer?" Shane asked.
"We didn't even talk. To give you the shorten version, I have to learn how to dance and Amy Raudenfeld, herself, picked me to be in her video."
"Well duh she chose you! She would be stupid not to have."
I smiled and we continued talking about random things when I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked around the room to see if someone was but no one was. Maybe it was just the drink getting to me.
When I turned back around, Shane was talking to this guy; I assumed it was the guy he was seeing and I was right.
Shane then introduced me to him, "Karma this is Duke, he's a business owner and likes to wrestle on his free time. And when I say wrestle I'm not talking about sex, I actually mean wrestle."
I laughed and told Duke how nice it was to meet him. We all talked for a few minutes, Duke was a charming guy who was also hilarious. Shane and I couldn't stop laughing at his stories. Duke then asked Shane if he wanted to go dance, and Shane looked at me as if he was asking for my permission. I smiled at him letting him know I'll be okay.
That feeling that someone was watching me came again and I turned my head towards the front of the club when my eyes met hers.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. If you want to suggest anything let me know! Thank you for reading! :)
