A New world Called California Part 12

CHAPTER 12

An hour later Courtney was shaking me awake. “I’m heading out.” she said when she finally saw my eyes open.

“ok” I said getting out of bed.

We walked out to her car together and I helped her put her bags in the trunk. We hugged and said out goodbyes. I waved as she drove away. I really did feel bad for her. This experience must have been quite traumatizing for her. I shook my head and headed back inside to change into some sweats and clean up Matt’s mess. Just as I was finishing I heard my cell phone ring. I looked at the caller ID. Call From: Justin it said. I smiled and answered. “Hello.”

“Hey beautiful.” he said.

“Hi.” I replied. “Read any good magazines today?” I asked laughing. He must have known exactly what I was talking about because he laughed along with me. When we had finished laughing he turned serious. “Are you ok? It didn’t upset you to read that stuff did it?”

I laughed. “Hell yes it did because now everyone knows I am a gold digger.” That statement only caused us to start laughing again.

“I was just checking.” He said out of breath. “But on another note, about tonight, I am gonna need those directions.”

“Oh yeah.” I said remembering. I explained until he was positive he knew how to get to my house. “Ok well, I gotta go I’m in the studio right now, but I will see you at seven.” He said.

“You sure will.”

“Great I’ll talk to you later baby.” he said in a smooth sexy voice.

“ok. Bye.” I said.

“Bye.” he replied.

I closed my phone and plopped down on the couch. I looked at the clock. Five O’ clock is what it read. I turned on the TV. Since I only needed, at the most, and hour to get ready I figured I’d waste the extra hour in front of the TV.

At six o’ clock I made my way to the bathroom for a hot shower to wash away the dried sweat I had worked up while cleaning. After my shower I went through my closet. I decided on a very form fitting, strapless black dress that stopped about three inches above my knees. I pulled on a white jacket and covered my feet with black heels. I curled my hair and let the tendrils fall around my face, that was as usual only slightly covered with make-up. Just as I had finished there was a knock at the door. I made my way down stairs, my heels clicking loudly on the hardwood floor. I opened the door to find Justin standing there looking absolutely amazing. The image was almost too good to be true. “Wow.” he said looking me over.

Blushing I said, “I was just about to say the same thing to you.”

He smiled and leaned forward to kiss me. “Wow” was the exact word I needed to describe the way he looked. He had on a, more than likely brand new, pair of white sneakers, slightly faded blue jeans, a white button up shirt with a black sport coat over it. He looked gorgeous in every sense of the word.

“Well,” he said holding out his hand for me to take in my own. As I did he looked at me and asked, “You ready?”

“Yes,” I answered, “you’re wanna-be actress is ready.”

He laughed. We headed outside to his car. It was a black BMW with dark tinted windows. To my surprise he headed for my door instead of his own. He opened it for me, “There you go babe.”

“Oh what a gentlemen.” I said showing him how impressed I was by giving him a peck on the lips. I slid into the leather seat and he closed the door behind me. Seconds later he was in the drivers seat and we were on our way.
