1170 Words
"Hello." the voice on the other sife of the phone greeted.
"Good morning Caleb." Becca walked to the floor to ceiling window of her apartment and stared at the outside world.
"Have you thought about it yet?" Caleb joked.
"Your not giving me time Caleb." Rolling her eyes, Becca said.
"Okay uhh..... I called to ask you on a date. Are you up for it?" Caleb pleaded, "Please."
"Not today, I'm making a trip to my parent's house."
Becca looked at her beautiful nails as she said.
"Oh..... Alright. Can I atleast drop you off?"
"I don't want to bother you....."
"Please I insist."
Becca there her head backwards sighing at the stubborn Caleb.
But she had no choice but to accept.
"Alright. Be here by....." she raised up her wrist to check the time on her watch, "By 11."
"Alright. See you then." Caleb excitedly gang up.
Becca looked at the beautiful sky in satisfaction before walking to the bedroom and dressing up in black leather pants and a one strapped blouse that exposed her other shoulder.
She picked up her phone and called up Loreen.
She didnt trust Caleb that much. She had to make sure he didn't try any funny business so she intended to bring Loreen along.
"Hey..... Are you busy today?"
"No... Why?"
"Can you drop by my apartment right now."
"Okay."
A short hour later, Loreen arrived at Becca's apartment and two chatted for a while as they waited for Claeb to show up.
"Then why don't you just say yes to him? He is a nice person."
"I've told you before. I don't want to get my heart broken again. Yes he is nice but I can't trust him yet."
"Your choice girl. He really loves you. Just give him a chance."
"I'll see about that."
*Two weeks later*
Becca looked at her self in the dressing mirror.
With her make up artists helping her wear her feather red dress and others work on her makeup.
Ecstasy filled her entire being as she patiently awaited for the movie launch.
"Miss, the limo is parked outside Sir Caleb requests that you hurry."
"Mm."
Grabbing her bag, Becca followed right behind the driver.
Excited squeels!
"OH my God. Becca and Caleb are here."
"Becca and Caleb."
Excited squeels!
"We love you Becca! "
" We love you Caleb!"
Caleb walked out the car and moved to Becca's side of the car and opened for her the door.
Becca put out her right leg first as she stepped out.
Revealing a gorgeous red high heel.
The long slit on the right side of her dress revealed her smooth glowing skin.
Caleb offered his hand to help her out of which Becca accepted.
Once Becca was out, he bowed like a gentle man and kissed her knuckles.
Excited squeels followed after this.
The red carpet was illuminated with constant flashing of camera lights.
"OH my God! Oh my God! They look so good together."
The crowd didn't seem to get enough of this.
They tried to storm through the barricade and cling onto their role models.
But they were blocked off by huge body Guards.
Becca slid her arm into Caleb's and they both moved down the red carpet.
" Ahh... Becca, Caleb." a chubby eastern oriental man greeted merrily swirling the wine in his glass.
He wore a black designer labeled suit.
Despite being an Easterner, he spoke on a British accent that made everyone feel comfortable around him.
"I'll be back." he told the fancy people he was talking to right now before he noticed the duo.
"Director Quan." both Becca and Caleb greeted in unison.
"This is the time we rip the fruits of our hard work." Quan shook Caleb's hand before kissing Becca's knuckles.
"This couldn't be possible without you Director Quan." Becca praised.
"Camila......."
"Camila........Snap out of it." an old lady in a maid's uniform said shaking a blond haired maid who seemed to be day dreaming during the Job.
Camila blinked her eyes twice then the old lady's face came into view.
"Mama Di....what's the problem?"
"The problem is..... Your day dreaming on the Job again. Do you want to go back to the streets again?" the old lady said frustrated looking into Camilla's blue eyes.
They had a hint of sadness in them.
Her rosy pink lips wavered a little as if she were about to cry.
" Am sorry. It won't happen again. " she bent down and picked up the mop on the mable tiles.
"Where you thinking about that Becca actress again?" Mama Di asked feeling sorry for her.
"No it's nothing. My mind wondered off alitlle but it's no big deal." Camila put the mop on the cleaning cart and strolled down the hall way to continue with her cleaning.
"Mama Di..." a young black haired young adult with brown eyes asked,"What is wrong with her?"
Maama Di sighed in pity at her question, "Oh Tammy... I don't know what to tell you. She claims she's Becca the actress. I think she was a crazy fun. And when Becca died, she couldn't come to terms with it. Poor soul." she then wore a serious face and looked at Tammie, "What are you doing here? Hurry up with your work. There's no time for gossip. Hurry."
Without a choice, Tammy picked up her cleaning bucket and continued mopping the floor.
"I am sorry... Miss Camilla. Some one already got the role. Yes, your good but you are too late" one of the judges in the auditioning room said.
"But miss.... I promise I can do better. Just give me a chance. Please." Camilla pleaded for the judges.
"Am sorry Camilla. We'll inform you if we need a replacement."
"No. Please. Just a while ago you said I should come for the audition. Please don't do this to me." she went down on her knees and begged the judges.
But a few short seconds latter, a strong muscular bouncer walked in and dragged her out of room.
Camilla walked along the busy street with a blunk mind.
All this time, she tried to finish her work as fast as possible so she could make it for the audition.
She thought that today would be the day that she would finally be out of this rat hole of a life.
She sadly made her way to the maid's quarters where she lived.
"Did you get the audition?"Mama Di asked in concern.
But the sad look on Camilla's face answered her question.
She patted Camilla on her shoulder trying to comfort her;" Don't worry dear. Just keep on trying. One way or another, you will get as you wish. Be strong dear. "
A tear fell down Camilla's cheeks as she cursed her ugly fate inwardly.
One day she's a mega superster that everyone knew as Becca. And the next, she is a low class maid trying to survive in society.
Fate sure knew how to play jokes on her.
