Chapter four

          I was back in my own little world. Where I was in control of what goes on. I left the embarrassment back on the bus and forgot all about Eminem. This is where I belong. I loved dance class it's where I can express myself without anyone laughing at me. Today we work on hip moving, which my teacher told me I was excellent on. When the music came on, I imagined myself in the music video dress in Rihanna's clothes with her perfect flat stomach. I work on my hips movement in front of the mirror. When I saw Eminem walk into the gym. His blue eyes fix on me as I moved my hips, even though he didn't think I saw him, but I did.

          I moved my hips up and down, and side to side. Even though I knew he was watching, I kept moving, I wanted to impress him. He had to be impressed but it was hard to tell. That's when he started walking towards me. I didn't know if I should've stop, you had to be blind to know he was walking towards you. He cleared his throat,

"Excuse me Natalia" he said.

I turned around in my black work out bra and my baggy dance jeans, I felt weird for him to see me like this, but I had a feeling he has seen girls in less clothing before. I wasn't sure what to say exactly.

          "Listen you don't have to say anything, I can understand you were…nervous, but you were really great; powerful" he sounded very nervous. "We would really like for you to do this movie with us" he said. I sighed, "I'm sorry but, I got school I have a family I need to take care of, I wouldn't feel right if I up and leave them" I said.

He sighed and looked frustrated; it was like he was desperate to have me on the movie. "Natalia, your family will be fine, I assure you it's only for two to four months, they can come and go as they please, were not taking you away from them and the money were offering is pretty good" Eminem said. That gave me an idea, the money they could give me, can solve all my problems. But what is holding me back is the fact I'm not famous, nor am I any good.

          I cleared my throat, "This won’t change my life before or after it, right?" I ask. "I can't assure you, or promise you a yes or no answer, plus I know how it feels to be away from my family, it hurts like a bitch!" he exclaimed. I chuckled softly. His eyes suddenly had a sparkle in them, "So will you do this, Natalia?" ask Eminem. I sighed, I was pressured to make a yes or no answer, I need the money, but what if this turns out to be bigger than I would expect? And I highly doubt he's willing to take 'no' for an answer. With no choice, I said "Yes". He sighed out of relief, "but?" I ask, his head pop up "I'm twenty three years old; you're almost forty…will it be kind of weird making out with a younger person?" I ask. He chuckled without smiling; he placed his hand on my shoulder, and “Relax it's just acting" he said. I smiled and kept that in mind.

          I went home that night and found a notice on everyone's door and mine. It was from the land lord, explaining why the sudden cut back in heat.

"From this moment till the end of winter, the heater will be on from, 11:30pm to 7:30am. The heater will be turned on only when the weather is below 20 degrees, thank you for your corporation".

          I smiled and realized it was going to be on soon, but also I realized I was going to be late to Will's parents’ house. I quickly rush into my house to shower and change into a winter sweater dress, with black silk stockings and black satin pumps and my hair curled up. I was almost out the door when I got a message from Will.

Will: Too late to get a bus, babe! I'm outside right now! Come down when you’re ready.

          I smiled at the thought that he was going to pick me up, this would be a normal thing he would do.

Me: Coming down right now!

It dawned on me that I had to tell my parents I was going to be in some sort of movie and I would be gone for two to four months, including my boyfriend and his parents. While in the car; I tried to think of a perfect way to break it to them gently.

          "You look beautiful" said Will. I turned my head over to him and smiled. "You're quite" he added, "something wrong, Talia?" I mine as well tell him. I cleared my throat and said, "This may sound crazy but I was offered to do a movie" I said. He bent his head back, "You? Acting?" said Will. I lick my lips, "Mmm" was all I could say. "Um, well I think it’s great you might benefit from it" said Will. I smiled slightly, "So you’re ok with this?" I ask. "Yeah, yeah" he sounded soft, "Just be home for Thanksgiving and Christmas and there is no trouble" said Will. He grinned at me, "I'll be home for Christmas and Thanksgiving, it's only two to four months" I said. "Good you'll be home before your birthday" said Will.
