It was Saturday morning when I was flipping through the channels that I saw my face on the screen. It was Amy and I walking to her car yesterday night when she gave me a ride home. There was also a picture of her helping me out of the car.
"Is this mystery girl Amy Raudenfeld's new one night stand or her girlfriend? She could use a girlfriend to give herself a better image instead sleeping with all those models." The person in the TV said.
Where did they even get these pictures? I didn't see any paparazzi taking pictures of us. Do people actually think we are dating?! I guess I should get use to my face on television now that I'm going be working for Amy Raudenfeld.
The rest of the weekend I didn't do much. Shane came by to apologize for ditching me at the club and begged me to forgive him and of course I forgave him. I understood that he was drunk and I didn't want him to feel bad about himself. Lauren sent me an email of the location for the video, which was at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel this Monday. She also told me to bring a comfortable pair of clothes since I would be dancing throughout the day.
It was now Monday and I was at the hotel earlier than I was told, but I liked being early. I sat in the lobby waiting for Lauren to show up. I heard someone say my name quietly and I looked up to see if someone actually did and it was Amy. She was wearing straight khakis with a black button-down top. God, she really loved black didn't she? Well she does look good in black so it doesn't matter. I realized that I was staring at her when I looked at her face only to see that she was looking at me too. She had an amused look on her face.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" I said.
"No no, it's just that I didn't expect to see you here so early… You still have half an hour before you have to start filming, " she said checking her watch.
"Yeah, I just wanted to come earlier to… to see what the hotel was like." I lied.
She lightly laughed at my terrible lie, "Well maybe we can get some coffee before we have to head inside the ballroom. If you want?"
"I could definitely use some coffee," I said standing up.
We walked to a café down the street and sat down waiting for the waitress to bring our drinks. Amy was staring at me and I was trying to avoid looking at her. Our eyes met and she smirked. That damn smirk.
"Have I told you how beautiful I find you to be?"
"And have I told you that I wasn't interested Raudenfeld?"
"I'm just complimenting you. I don't want anything out of it. I just think you're beautiful."
"Thank you, you're not too bad yourself." I smiled at her.
The waitress brought us our coffee and left while giving Amy a smile. I looked at Amy as she could care less about the waitress.
"So are you excited to dance?" I asked Amy.
She looked at me confused, "I'm not dancing. I don't dance."
I looked at her with the same expression. I thought she was going to be my dance partner but I guess I was wrong.
"You're going to be dancing with this guy who I keep forgetting the name of," Amy responded.
"Oh okay, I just assumed you were going to dance with me since it's your video." Amy just shook her head.
"Ms. Raudenfeld?" Amy turned around looking at a little girl, who was holding a pen.
"Hey little one, what can I do for you?" Amy's voice changed to a sweet childish one and I couldn't help but smile.
"I-I was wondering if I could get an autograph?" the girl said.
"Of course! What's your name?" Amy asked.
"Carter," she said and Amy talked to her for a bit before she had to leave. The whole time I was watching Amy interact with her fan and thinking how sweet she was to her. Although she had an edgy look to her she was actually nice to her fans and that was important.
"We should head out before we're late," Amy said standing up to pay.
"I'll pay for us," I quickly said and she just smiled and kept walking, "Since I offered to go get coffee, I think it's only appropriate that I pay."
The waitress that smiled at Amy earlier was behind the counter. She gave the receipt with her number on it, which Amy ignored, sticking it in her pocket.
We got back to the hotel just in time when we saw Lauren running around trying to prepare the set. She looked between Amy and I and smiled a little. What was the smile for?
The ballroom was enormous. There was nothing in the room besides a wooden dance floor in the middle. The ceiling was painted with people dancing and a chandelier hung from the center of it. The whole room looked vintage and antique, it was beautiful.
"Karma, I need you to get ready. Stretch and limber up. I wouldn't want you to pull something," Lauren said snapping me back to reality. Amy laughed beside me and I mocked her laughing before I went to go warm up.
"You must be Karma, my partner for this video, right?" I turned around to see a tall handsome man in front of me.
