Seira
Flashback: Leo got drunk, slept in his friend's house and apologized to Seira for not driving her home.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I think C.W hired me to be her substitute in attending all her boring meetings.
And since I don't have a car C.W's driver will come pick me up and I think I'm in love.
It was as if time had stopped when I saw him exit the car.
He exudes an aura of grace and awesomeness. He looks like an Abercrombie model in his late twenties, with his height, face, and body fit to be featured in a magazine.
He's wearing a crisp white shirt in which the sleeves are tucked neatly between his arms exposing a swirl of black ink snaking across his right arm with a picture of a rose intricately carved in the back of his arm underneath his elbow.
When I raised my head to see his face he was already smirking at me and casually pushed his hands in the pocket of his jeans.
Without shame, I gawked at him with my mouth open, feeling like I'm staring at a guy version of Medusa keeping my gaze captive.
Looks really could kill!
He cleared his throat. "Are you Seraphim Swanson?"
I only nodded at him.
He chuckled. "Ms. Murphy sent me. We really should be going now."
When I heard the name 'Murphy' I snapped out of it and escorted myself as fast as I can inside the car next to the driver's seat.
In the middle of the car ride, I couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore and boldly asked him if he was a model.
"Are you a model?"
He chuckled but did not answer.
"Are you a model or not?" I asked again.
This time he laughed and I just stared at him. I could do this all day until you give me an answer!
"No I'm not," he finally answered without taking his eyes off the road.
I feel outraged!
I leaned close to where he was sitting as far as the seatbelt allows.
"Why aren't you one?"
He sighed. "I was one but the modelling industry is hard and I don't ever want to work there ever again. Besides, Ms. Murphy is very considerate and kind towards her employees plus the pay is good."
My jaw dropped to the floor. Ms. Murphy, considerate AND kind?
I could not be hearing this right but then this guy is hot.
Ms. Murphy you sneaky...person. I totally get where you're coming from now!
Oh! I forgot to ask.
"You didn't tell me your name, sir?"
He took his eyes away from the road for a second to look at me, "Eddie 'Ed' Green and we have arrived Ms. Swanson."
I bid Mr. Green goodbye and stared at the massive set and bustling people before me.
Actors with devil wings and demon faces are gathered in the middle of the set in which stood in the center of them is a topless guy with massive angel wings.
Entranced, I walked slowly towards the angelic figure missing the huge electric fan carried by a man that struck me in the face with its stand and landed me on my butt, and as if matters aren't already worse, the man turned around to help me up and the metal covering of the fan hit my face like a ton of bricks.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
The angel slowly turned around and revealed to me his blinding and handsome and...I woke up.
I silently yelled at myself and tried to go back to dreamland when an alarm sounded.
I looked for my phone everywhere inside the tent when it struck me that I don't actually have a phone anymore.
I found the phone sounding the alarm and turned it off after which I found out that my forehead is bruised through the reflection the screen is giving me of my face.
"I see that you're already awake."
Startled, I almost dropped the phone I was holding.
"Careful, before you break another phone that's not yours!" C.W warned.
My forehead wrinkled. How does she know I broke my phone?
I slowly brought down the phone on the table nearby and asked, "What happened?"
She rolled her eyes, "You being your usual self destructive behaviour and you being an airhead prevented you from dodging the huge set electric fan."
I touched my forehead. That explains the bruise.
"Now get a move on, you slacked off the whole afternoon. The day is already over and I will be deducting this on your pay by the way," she said as she walked away from the tent and left me cursing her in my mind with terrible insults that should not be named.
I stepped outside the tent and saw that the sun really was setting and I missed the filming of a music video AND I didn't see who the angel was in the music video! Rats!
"Are you coming or what?! We'll leave you here then!" C.W yelled.
"I'm coming!"
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I sat in the car awkwardly and as a way to break the ice, I thanked C.W for the ride.
She sighed and smiled, "It's the least I could do after my idiot cousin left a lady waiting in the lobby at night."
My eyes popped out of their sockets. "C-cousin?"
The smile C.W put on her face immediately turned into annoyance. "I think it's you who is the idiot and not my cousin."
"Oh my God, you're Leo's cousin?!" I asked her with a frown on my face.
"Yes, now stop asking," she crossed her arms.
I saw Mr. Green looking at us in the front mirror and I looked at him bewildered.
Puzzled by C.W's sudden divulgence, I turned to ask her without thinking.
"But you don't have the same surnames?"
C.W abruptly twisted her head in my direction and glared daggers at me.
"Are you genuinely stupid or are you kidding me? My mother was a Conway and she married my dad a Murphy. Do I also have to tell you how they made me too?!" she furiously snapped at me and I heard a muffled laugh coming from Mr. Green.
I winced. Of course I knew that! I was just shocked and I couldn't believe she is actually Leo's cousin! She's a poisonous snake compared to Leo's regal and elegant Lion!
