"Thank you." I said.
"You have a very good voice." he complimented again and I could tell my face is bright red now.
I thanked him again. I always thought I will go naughty, maybe shamelessly tell him he's handsome, but I couldn't say it, cause I'm feeling so shy.
Immediately we got into the public road, far away from the audition center, he whined up the blind.
Oh yeah! he's a celebrity, so he can't just show his face anyhow on the street.
This fact made me doubt if this is really happening. I am just a normal girl, and didn't think I'm qualified for all this.
The only best quality I've got is my beauty. Perhaps that's what made him look at me.
I don't mind though. At least I get to meet with him. It means my beauty did its part in fulfilling my fantasy.
My mobile device chimed. I could feel his stare lingering on me as I unlock my phone and saw my grandma's message.
I blushed hard and felt ashamed as he giggled. "Something interesting I presume?" he stylishly asked.
I shook my head, still a little shy. "It's my grandma." I said.
He hummed as a reply and my heart couldn't stop racing wildly. Every action of his is just magnificent. Damn! I really like this dude.
I re read my grandma's message, which strengthen my will to pursue this feeling.
I looked outside the window, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the city, with my heart feeling beautiful. I'm happy.
I could feel his stare on me occasionally, but kept my eyes glued outside.
"What's your full name?" he asked.
Damn! Isn't this what happen in novels? male lead wanting to get to know the female lead. This is how it started right?
Damn! I'm fantasizing too much. 'Calm down Lauren.' I told myself.
"Lauren?" he called, making me realize I'm still keeping him waiting.
"Nicholas Lauren." I said shyly. Don't misunderstand me, it's not that I'm pretending, I just feel so different. I haven't felt like this in my entire life. It's crazy!
"That's a beautiful name." he complimented.
"Thank you." I replied to him, not able to look at his direction.
He let out a soft giggle, "why looking outside Lauren?" he asked.
My head snapped at his direction awkwardly, while I bit down on my lower lip, which of course must have made my dimples alluring to whoever is looking.
I always admired myself in front of the mirror, when I did that. As expected, or should I say, as I had assumed, "I love your dimples." he said.
I couldn't take it anymore, "you're handsome." I blurted and look away, feeling embarrassed, only to hear him say, "I know."
Okay! that answer surprised me. I was expecting thank you, but why does it feel like he's showing off.
'Oh my god! he's so hot!' my head screamed. I recalled most male leading in novels saying such, which made readers like them more and hell yeah! I like him more.
Showing off or not, he's indeed handsome. "Can you tell me about yourself Lauren?" he asked.
I was shocked and look at his side profile, he stared at me briefly and smile softly, before returning his gaze back on the road, "anything except the fact that you're a hair stylist and a makeup artist." he said.
I wasn't expecting this, so I began to stutter. "Hum… hum.."
Reality dawned on me for a second there. What if he found me unworthy after learning I'm just a girl who struggle to make ends meet.
A stylist? Make-up artist? those two sounds nice to the ears, but those were just her skills which she didn't have enough revenue to expand into something people would really respect.
She's just someone who got called by neighbors and those who the people who liked her hand work recommend her to. It's more like home service kind of.
If no one calls her, she will just have to stay at home, crushing on Alex's picture, doing nothing.
What if Alex take back his words after learning such. What if she forget beauty and decided to mind class?
Bitterness consumed my heart at the thought. Will all this come to an end before it even started?
