Chapter 2

Soon as the lift opened, it’s doors when we stopped at the ground floor; Ash practically gave an elderly couple a heart attack when she shot out like a bolt of lightening. I shook my head in dismay. She never thinks. It’s action before thought with her. Oy! I turned to the couple and I apologised to them on her behalf but inside I knew that Ash wasn’t really sorry at all. And they knew it I think. I am such a bad liar. You usually can tell by the expressions of my eyes. I saw she was at the reception desk handing over our room key. We were sharing together as roommates while Lou has her own room for obvious reasons. To “entertain” her friends apparently. We so don’t wanna know what she gets up to and you don’t either. Trust me.

I rolled my eyes when Ash told the receptionist to keep the key safe. I managed to sneak a look at her nametag, which said Rachel. I smiled expression my apology on my face. I smacked Ash on the back of her head sending a look which said behave. She just shrugged it off and I saw from the corner of my eyes that uhm…Rachel was amused by our display of friendshipness. We both looked at Ashley funny when she started spouting about how lovely the weather has been lately. It was raining!!!! How lovely is that?!

I swear that Ash must have popped a pill or something since she’s really loony at the moment. We talked for a little while; we were waiting for Lou to come down. We were dreading to see what she was going to wear. Oh, I should tell you Ash and Lou definitely doesn’t get on with one another. They never have really to be truthful. I think it was something to do with Lou stealing Ash’s ex boyfriend or something like that. I’m not sure to be honest.

“Take a chill pill Ash. You’re scaring me now.”

I told her as I heard Ash saying to Rachel how much she loves to dance in the rain. Err, she never even danced in the rain. What a liar! But it’s in good fun and I knew really. We just play it off really. That’s what we’re like. Playful most of the time but when we’re tempered…stay away like across the country more like. To describe Ash when she’s mad is like describe hell. She’s hot, fiery and scary as hell. Then again so am I but it takes a lot to get me mad. Except for Ash, she gets me mad easily when she feels like it. Like just now upstairs in our room.

We weren’t aware that a famous band walked past us but Rachel did, because I saw her face changing from friendly to practically lust. I was a little unnerved then I heard a few squeals and I knew immediately celebrities was in the hotel. But me and Ash didn’t bother to turn around. We were too engrossed into our conversation about what music we were gonna practise with when we arrived at work to meet the mysterious band that hired us. FINALLY, Lou came down but what a shock me, Ash and Rachel had. We had to blink twice no three times to see what Lou was wearing. Our reaction was pretty much summed up by the next two words that Rachel said.

“Oh Lord!”

I heard Ash gagging in distaste because Lou was wearing a black catsuit. I was too speechless to even make a sound. The outfit didn’t flatter her figure at all. Not when you have a heaving bosom to be truthful. This wasn’t dancing material at all. I mean Ash was wearing her jeans and a grey jumper with her white trainers and her long hair was tied up same as me. Well, we couldn’t tell Lou what to wear but god what a impression she’s making on us to other people. She doesn’t get it in her thick head that she’s not the only dancer and whose reputation that she was ruining. But well, through one ear to the other.

Lou simply grinned and grabbed the both of us, startling us suddenly, we managed to wave a quick wave to the receptionist as we saw a long white limo waiting outside with black windows. Me and Ash were confused then it clicked with her but I was slow. Until she signed to me that, the limo must have been sent for us. I nodded and raised my eyebrows as Lou demanded to this doorkeeper that it was his responsibility to ensure she didn’t get wet from the rainfall. Jaysus! What a prima donna she’s being but then again, she scares the doorkeeper. I let out a soft disgusted sigh as I climbed in after Ashley. I looked up to see a pair of the most beautiful sparkling eyes. I couldn’t breathe because I was trapped. Trapped in falling in those eyes. Good thing I was sitting down or my legs would have went.

My mind registered that there were others with us but I only had eyes for him. I can’t explain but something about him captured my attention. Because sitting across from us three was Westlife and I was staring at Mark the blue eyes guy that I just mentioned. And guess what?

It turns out that we’re dancers for them. Oh Lord, this will be the death of me.
