Chapter 12

My phone vibrated loudly in my ear waking me up. I blindly reached around my dresser with my face in the pillow grumbling to myself. I checked the time noticing it was 1 in the morning, who the hell texts this early?!

- hey amelia its shaun, what are you doing tonight?

Really? Couldnt this wait till later?!

- umm im going to work, whys that?

- oh well I was just going out with a few friends and wanted to see if you could come I wouldve liked to see you again

- awh im sorry. some other time maybe?

- okay looking forward to it! :)

- im going to bed, night shaun

- goodnight x

I tried getting comfortable but after being woken I found it incredibly hard to fall back to sleep. I laid there thinking of everything and anything, I thought about my father, work, jason and shaun and as much as I hated it I couldnt help but think about kalem. I bet he is having the time of his life right now. After thinking about kalem for what felt like forever I drifted off again with a frown on my face.

~•~

"Saraaaaaah can you heeeelp?"

"what on earth are you doing?" Sarah asked with the most amused expression on her face, I bet she is enjoying my torture.

"can you just help. me. zip. it. up?

I panted trying to zip the back of my suit up. I was going more blood red and frustrated by the second, if it didnt take me hours to make it would have a new home in the rubbish bin. They say beauty is pain... They werent lying!

Laughing she made her way over to me and zipped it up like it wasnt a problem

"looove the outfit! Another one of your creations im guessing?"

Sarah asked while fiddling with one of the chains on my arm. I was wearing a galaxy patterned latex morph suit with small gold chains attached to the shoulders in a sort of kardashian style. I wore black wedges with matching gold spikes along the back and had purple and blue makeup done in a futuristic look with silver and gold glitter to match the galaxy print and dark purple lipstick. I loved dressing up and to be in an industry where I could show of my fashion talents was pure bliss!

"of course" I replied while touching up my eyeliner in the mirror and adding lipgloss

"im so jealous. Hey could you make me an outfit?"

"sure what do you want?"

She twirled her lollypop in her mouth while thinking and making annoying sucking noises, ive noticed its something she does when shes deep in thought.

"oh my god I know! A lolly costume" she practically screamed

"ow, my ear! okay i'll have it by next week"

She practically threw herself on me chanting thankyou over and over. I laughed and pushed her off me.

"okay well ive got to head out and start work otherwise mark will have a cow"

I checked the roster to see what my duties for tonight are to find out im on waitressing... Greaaat. I hated waitressing, you always have those guys who think they can grope and talk down on you. Its so demeaning, I would rather perform.

I grabbed my apron from behind the bar and made my way over to michael who was serving some of the men on the other side.

"hey hot thang!" I whistled while smirking at him

"holy shit melia, you look fineeeee! I would totally turn straight for you"

"i know, I know. Im amazing" I winked causing him to chuckle.

"hey mark wants to see you in his office before you start your shift"

I frowned making my way over to his office "okay talk later"

I walked into his office to see him looking out his window

"you wanted me?"

"ahh yes. I was just reminding you that we're going out tonight plus I have something for you" he walked over to his desk and pulled out a cake from his drawer "happy birthday angel"

I couldnt help but smile at his gesture I sat on the couch and watched him light the candles.

"thankyou for this really. But im working tonight, I have already have a shift that I was ment to start 10 minutes ago"

"angel, you always work plus im your boss so I can say if you're working or not and tonight you are coming out with me, you already promised. Now blow out your candles and make a wish!"

I smiled and blew out my candles, im sure a few drinks wont do any harm.

We ate a slice of cake together before he pushed me out to get ready for tonight. Thank god I keep a bag of spare clothes here in my locker. I ran to the dressing room to get changed.

The zip on my suit thankfully was easier to take off, I threw on a white tank top and black tutu styled high waisted skirt that stopped on the middle of my thighs. I topped it off with a black leather jacket with gold studs along the shoulder pads and placed my matching wedges back on. Doing a check in the.mirror I approved and decided to keep the makeup I had on because it added to my 'rock look'

Grabbing my purse I waltzed back to marks office and linked my arm with his

"you ready?" I asked

he looked at my arm in shock but masked it as he cleared his throat "um yeah.. Ready"

I chuckled and we made our way to Joes bar
