Living The Dream

6. (Los Angeles)

1 month later (Gina's POV)

"You can sit that in the bedroom closest to the bathroom, the master." I said to the 2 mover guys. I made my into my master bedroom with my box of clothes in my arm. I sat it down on the ground as the 2 guys carried in the mattress. Frankie came in shortly after they left to go get the frame and headboard. "Hey here is the last box" she said. "Ok, thanks for helping". "No problem" she started "So this is it huh"? "Yep" "You sure you don't want to talk about the Jerry situation, I mean you seem pretty sad". "No I don't want to talk about it Frankie I'm ok" "Ok well if you alright then you need to stop sulking and let's turn up you living your dream girl" "I know but can we get back to fixing this house up a little please"? "Ok but you have to promise me something" "What"? "That you going to talk about it to somebody, even if it isn't me if you are really hurting like forreal". "Yes I will ok Frankie" "And something else" "What"? "We gotta turn up tonight, girl we in L.A." "I don't know Frankie you know I don't drink like that" "Come on we are in L.A. this is our first time I'm ready to meet some guys, you don't have to drink just get out and get your mind off if Jerry" "What about that guy that you was messing with in Texas whats his name... Um Shawn and I'm not thinking about Jerry" "Girl me and Shawn ain't together and he had a baby mama like I'm not dealing with baby mama drama... but just come on you know it's going to be fun "! "Fine" i said giving up. "YAY now lets get this house together so we can GO"! she said pulling my arm.

*2 hours later*
I stepped out of the shower as i wrapped my towel around my body Frankie and I were about to go to the club after she talked my head off for about an hour when we were SUPPOSED to be cleaning about Jerry and how she couldn't believe that we were actually in L.A. and that I finally got a record deal. I decided it should be fun to go since I've always wanted to come to L.A. and my dreams were finally coming true. I slipped in the dress i picked out and started on my hair. I wanted it to be curly since i thought it would go with the dress i was wearing. As soon as i put the curling wand down I got a call.

PHONE CALL OVER

I hang up the phone laughing and staring at the phone, he knows how to make me laugh even though we decided to just be friends. I turned around to see Frankie making her way to me. When she reached me she gave me a tight hug. "You want to talk about it now" I got up and wiped the few tears that escaped my eyes "No let's go" i said grabbing my clutch and walking out the door. At first she looked at me weirdly but she followed after me. She knew I wasn't good at expressing my feelings and she knew i wasn't going to so she decided to just go along with it. We got in the car and made our way to the club. Once we seen the club we were in line behind a lot of cars. A valet guy came and knocked on the window. We both got out the car as the valet took it and parked it. We made it inside and it was crowded and turnt up. We began to sit down but I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a girl standing there smiling. "Hi" i said feeling uncomfortable. "Are you Gina...Gina Patten" "Um...Yes" "Im Rhonda I'm a big fan i LOVE you and your song 11 something" "Wow, um...thanks" "Can i take a picture with you"? "Sure". She put her face on mine as she snapped a selfie of us together. "Thank you so much" she said walking away. "Your welcome" i said waving. Wow I'm already getting noticed. "Told you you were a superstar" i turned around once i heard that. "Jerry, i thought you were in Texas what are you doing here" i said hugging him. "Came to see you what you think" he said hugging me back. "How long are you staying here"? "Just 2 days" "Well thanks for coming up here" "Welcome" he said. "Im going to leave you 2 alone" Frankie said leaving with her drink in her hand. As soon as she left there was an awkward silence. We looked at each other and he leaned in and kissed me i didn't hesitate to kiss back. His phone started ringing i looked at it and it read "Bae😍" across the screen. I looked up at him pissed. "What the fuck"? i yelled. "You up in here kissing me when you got a bitch calling your phone". "Ba-" he said reaching for me before i cut him off "Dont fucking call me that here i was damn near crying over you and thinking that you was ok with me moving here and- you know what I'm leaving" i said getting up walking away. As i ran through the crowd looking for Frankie so we could leave I accidentally bumped into a man knocking the drink he had in his hand all on his suit. "Im so sorry" i said looking at him. "You fine" he said chuckling. "No i have to do something here i'll write you a check or something". "Just give me your number and this will be all fine" he said smiling at me. Wow timing? "Um..." "Please miss-" he said furrowing his eyebrows extending his hand. "Gina" i said shaking it. "Beautiful name for a beautiful woman" he said kissing my hand. "So can I have your number" he said. "I don't know your name" i said. "Blake" he replied smoothly. "Um sure...here" i said writing my number on his hand. "As long as its about your suit" i said. "No promises" he said looking at his hand before walking away. As soon as he left i felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey girl i been looking for you everywhere how did it go with Jerry"? she said smiling. "I don't want to talk about it here can we leave i don't want to stay in this club i probably got dry humped at least 10 times just trying to walk" i said. She looked at me weird for a second before saying "yeah sure come on". We made our way to the exit as i saw that Blake guy on my way out. Timing.
