...Continued
I was walking along the beach with my sandals in my hands and the wind blowing through my hair. My brain was still processing everything Lisa had told me. It was hard to believe that Joe had been cheating on me for so long. Tears filled my eyes and I wiped them away. I knew the girls would be trying to call me, but I switched off my cell phone. I need to be alone with nature. Ever since I was a child nature was my best friend. I found a rock and sat down. Images from my past slowly crept up.
My parents arguing like crazy after my big sister died in car crash. Ever since her death, things had never been the same. My dad started drinking and hitting my mum. He never touched me though. Mum threw herself in front of me every time he made a move for me. I kept telling her to stop and that I could take it, but she would always smile. ‘What kind of mother allows her beautiful daughter to get beat up. I’ve already lost one, and I refuse to lose another’ I would tell her that I don’t want to lose her either. For hours we used to cry together when her face was all bloodied up. My brother came home from college and found her one day. She was on the floor holding a picture of me, my sister and my brother. There was blood everywhere and my father lay a few metres away from her with a gun in his hand. My beautiful mother gave her life to keep me safe.
I wiped away the tears and preferred to remember the good times instead. My mum was the force behind me when I wanted to pursue my career as a make-up artist. She bought me so much make-up and always let me practice on her. ‘I miss you mummy. I wish you were still here. How do I go on? What do I do? I need you so much right now’ I hugged myself and stopped the flow of tears. Instead I sat silently for over an hour, just looking out at sea until I felt at peace.
Slowly I got up from my rock and walked away from the beach towards the hotel. Hopefully the girls won’t be mad at me for turning off my cell phone. I have so much to be grateful for in my life and my girls have always been there for me. Even Lisa, after what she did, she was there for me too.
I walked up to the set and saw girls already dressed up. Damn I was late.
‘Rachelle?’
‘Yep, that’s me’ I turned to a girl with boobs the size of watermelons all up in my face
‘I’m Sharon and you’re late. Follow me’
‘Damn’ I muttered under my breath. I followed her to a trailer. Once inside she showed me the outfits I would be wearing. ‘In this video you won’t just be dancing. You’ll be his love interest. Get dressed for first scene and then I’ll run you through it’
‘What about choreography?’
‘Oh, that’s tomorrow. Once we are done with today’s scene you and the other dancers will be taught the routine. Don’t worry about it’
‘Ok’ So she seems nice. But I knew that in this business you must always keep your options wide open and never turn your back on someone, because they could stick a knife into it.
After I got dressed in a super tight dress I went for make-up and strapped on some really high heels. Sharon explained everything to me so that by the time the director was ready, so was I. Marcus Cooper finally showed up. He came out of a trailer with some girl on his arm. ‘That’s his latest addition’ smirked Sharon, ‘he’ll be on the next one soon. Watch out in that outfit’
‘I’m a professional. I don’t mix business with pleasure.’
‘Well be careful. They don’t call him Pleasure P for nothing’
‘Thanks for the warning’
‘Ok people let’s get in position’ yelled the director. I walked over to the table where I was supposed to be sitting and Marcus sat down on the table and looked into my eyes. My insides turned to jelly. Shit, Sharon wasn’t kidding.
‘Hey sexy’
‘It’s Rachelle’ I replied.
‘Oh, my bad. Rachelle’ He took my right hand kissed it. I almost moaned out loud.
‘Nice to meet you too’
‘Ok let’s start to roll’
A song I had never heard of started to play and I got into action immediately. I had to play the seductive lover while Marcus tried to pretend he wasn’t into me, when really he was. We shot a few scenes similar to this one before we moved to the beach and I had to get wet in a skimpy bikini. I was his best friend’s girl and he knew I was getting played, but he wouldn’t tell me. Instead he tried to woo me in his arms.
Eventually we were done and I went to learn the moves for tomorrow. The steps were really easy and I didn't take long to learn them. In an hour I was free to go while a few others stayed behind. I stood outside to call a cab when a silver Aston martin pulled up and the windows rolled down. ‘Let me take you to your hotel ma’ It was Marcus and he had a sexy-ass grin on his cute face. I got in his car and we drove off.
‘You do this to all the girls in your videos?’ I asked
‘Only the really beautiful ones’
‘Sure’
He looked and me and I stared straight ahead. I wasn’t about to let him run his silly ass game on me. We drove the rest of the way silently apart from music he was listening to. When we reached my hotel I thanked him and got out.
‘Hold up...what’s your name?’
‘Rachelle’
He smiled and climbed back into his car. ‘See you tomorrow Rae’
'Only my friends call me Rae' I smiled politely and walked towards the hotel. In front of me I saw Janae and I ran to catch up with her. ‘Hey wait up’
