Secret Desires 2

The girls entered the club ecstatic. Although Hailie was a bit nervous of how her parents would react when they found her not to be in her room. Right then, her stomach twisted in knots. Her parents were going to kill her when she got home. That is, if she goes home tonight. She had a feeling that she would get drunk, and Adrienne being the good friend she is, would cover for Hailie once it came down to her parents.

“Whooo!! Lets get this night started!” Adrienne cheered. She immediately ran to the dance floor and began to dance. Yesenia and Hailie laughed at their friend and walked over to a private table.

“You think you’re parents are gunna get mad?” Yesenia asked her.

Hailie shrugged. “Probably. But they’ll get over it eventually. It wont be the first.”

“Well forget about it.” Yesenia told her. “They can’t keep treating you like you’re still in the first grade. Its over-rated and way to stressful.”

Hailie nodded. She thought the whole system was stupid. When she did something good or overachieving her parents never showed a sign that they cared. But when she did something bad, like sneaking out for example, her parents would get furious. The whole thing was unfair. But it wasn’t like she could change it or something. She never had a say when it came to her parents decisions.

A couple of good looking guys passed by which made Yesenia’s eye brows rise. “Aye, Dios mio! I’ll be right back!” she said then followed right after the guys.

Hailie sat at the table all alone watching the dance crowd. Then roamed her eyes around the club and found a couple at a corner. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Although she wanted to look away she couldn’t find the strength to.

A young girl about the age of fifteen was leaning against a wall, practically naked, posing in various exotic positions while they guy, on the other hand, was taking pictures. Hailie was disgusted to think that the girl would actually degrade herself like that.

“That kind of thing catches your attention?”

Hailie turned around surprised. A fairly attractive guy was hovering over her table smiling, nodding towards the couple.

“Um, no.” Hailie answered. “I’m kind of disgusted actually. That she would do something like that.”

“Oh, well you can’t imagine the kinds of things a girl will do to earn money.” he said.

“Money?”

“Yea, some girls are homeless. Poor or just miserable. So they do anything they can to just to make life easier for them.”

Hailie smiled. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”

“Brad.” he smiled back. “Brad Luther.”

“I’m Hailie Matthews.” she responded. From there, it was just smooth conversation. Hailie had a lot in common with Brad and she was surprised. She never felt more connected with a guy in her life.

“Hey,” he said. “I work with a modeling business and I know I might sound a little straight-forward or something, but they need a last minute model for an advertisement and you know, you would definitely work for the advertisement.”

Hailie thought for a second. It wouldn’t be bad to take the offer. Maybe it would help her get noticed that way she could have a real kick in for her acting career.

“Here’s my number, that is, if you’re interested.” he offered.

Hailie looked at the card. “Um, sure. I’ll think about it.”

Brad smiled. “Great. Well I have to get going.” He left without a word which made a Hailie a little suspicious but she let it slide. Tonight it wasn’t about thinking, it was about having fun!

“Were in heavens name have you been?”

Hailie stopped dead in her tracks on the first stair step. She slowly turned her head around to see her furious mother.

“I…was just-”

“Sneaking in?” her mom finished.

Hailie gave her a weak smile. She always had found it hard to lie to her mother.

“Hailie, I cant believe you.” her mom said disappointed.

“Well, its not like you would have said yes in the first place.” Hailie reasoned.

“I have my reasons. Goodness, your turning so much like your Aunt Gloria!” her mom rubbed her eyes with her palms.

“Mom, how can you say that about your own sister?!” Hailie asked surprised. She knew that her mom and her aunt didn’t get along much but her mom didn’t have to be so straight-forward about it.

“Go to your room.” her mom said furiously. “Now!”

Hailie turned up the stairs to her room. She lay on her bed motionless. Thinking about the guy she me today. Brad. Brad Luther. He was extremely cute. And he gave her a big offer! Well, if Carl wasn’t interested in her, Brad sure is. Maybe that’s just what Hailie needs. A guy to be interested in her. And if she modeled for his business, she would have many fans to come. And many admirers.

She took out the card he gave her out from her purse and looked at it.

She thought for a second but then dialed Brad’s number into her Motorola™ Razor. She waited as the listened to the ring tone.

“Hello?” he finally answered.

“Brad? It’s me, Hailie. We met at the club, Blue Ice?”

“Hey Hailie! What brings you to call me?”

“Um, well, I was thinking about your offer and I’d really like to take the chance and be the model you guys need. That is if the spot is still open.”

“Yea, its still open. But are you sure you want to do it?” he asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, if you become a big hit and if the agency really likes your pictures, you’ll be getting tons of offers and attention. You sure you want that?”

All Hailie ever wanted was attention. Maybe she’d make Carl realize what a mistake he made for choosing Alicia over her.

“Yes. I’m sure.”

The next afternoon, Hailie went to the address that it stated on the card. The studio wasn’t as big as she imagined it to be but it was fairly big. It was surrounded by millions of trees, hovering everywhere. Elegant fountains cascading the front lawn attracting small little humming birds. Hailie took the sight to be amazing.

“Hey beautiful.” Brad walked through the door to greet her.

“Hi. This place is beautiful.” she commented.

“Yea, well we try to make it relaxing. It’s a good place to take a break and just be calm.” he said.

“Yea it definitely shows.” she laughed.

“Hey, the camera managers are having a little trouble with the putting up the set. So is it okay if we wait while the get it set up?”

Hailie nodded. “Yea, it’s fine.”

“Ok good. Well, we have a bar in the lounge. Wanna hang out in there?”

Brads irresistible smile made it so hard to say no. And his eyes sparkled with so much joy. It was as if they were begging her to hang out with him.

“Yea, I’d like that.” Hailie smiled at him.

But what Hailie didn’t know, was that Brad was planning on getting Hailie extra drunk… You can say that his plan succeeded cause at the end of the hour, Hailie was buzzed out.

“Whoo!! Lets take those pictures!!!” she yelled giggly.

“You go right ahead.” Brad told her. “I’ll go get your wardrobe.”

“Ok Bradleyyy!!!!” she murmured as she entered the studio.

Brad smiled as he walked over to the wardrobe closet and pulled out a skimpy bikini which was see-through and very revealing.

“Hey Brad, you got the model in the studio yet?” a co-worker asked Brad.

“Yea, she’s in studio right now.”

“Ok, good. We have to ship these pictures to Playboy by tomorrow.”
