Wake Up Call (English) #Wattys2016

April - 6 days left

"Make-up, make-up and even more make-up. You done with the face-painting soon ??" Said Marshall impatient and looked at the girl who painted me, she clearly had a huuuuuuuge crush on him and it was actually kinda funny how she constantly tried to get him to look at her.

"Stop being so rude, you big dick ..." I said and met the eyes of the girl. "What's your name?" She smiled big to me.

"Angelina." She said.

"Oh! Unfair, you've got a beautiful name!" I said wort with a smile, she laughed briefly and looked at Marshall, he seemed to think that the zipper on his jacket was very entertaining and pulled it up and down while he sat and waited 'patiently'  on Angelina to be finished.

"You've got a cool name though, and beautiful! Alexis, and you can shorten it to Alex ... Awesome!" She said without dropping her gaze from Marshall, she bit her lower lip when he looked up and met her gaze, he looked down again quickly. Hahah!

"The show's starting, you done Angelina ??" Someone shouted, she nodded and smiled at me before she walked away from Marshall and as she walked past him, she 'stumbled' in her feet and fell right on her ass in front of him. Marshall got big eyes and got up to help her. He gave her his hand and she took it gladly.

"I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy ..." she said and looked at Marshall innocent, he coughed briefly.

"Hell yeah, you are ..." he said and looked at her strange. "Alex ..." He turned to me.

"What?" I asked, amused by how girls practically fall on his feet. He met my gaze.

"You having fun ??" He asked, I realized I smiled like a moron and beat him playfully in the stomach while I got up from the chair.

"Nice of you to fall for me, Angelina." Said Marshall and took my hand in his and led us to the entrance of the scene before he let go of my hand again. I looked at him with raised eyebrows and shook my head when he met my gaze. "What?" He asked, laughing.

"Nice of you to fall for me?? CHEEESY !!" I laughed, he teased me back as The Daily Talk began to introduce me, Marshall wasn't going to go on with me. Oh-oh ...

"... Alexis Cubard!" Said the host Susannah Mable and pointed towards me smiling as I was walking out, I smiled and waved to the crowd as they cheered for me, I even got some whistles!

I sat down in the chair and met her eyes smiling.

"Thank you for being here!" She said, I nodded smiling.

"Thank you for having me!" I said back equally happy, when the audience finally became silent she began again.

"Can we just talk about you for a moment?" I nodded and laughed anxious, I wasn't prepared for questions about myself. "I mean, you basically started from the bottom?" She laughed, I pointed out from the stage to where Marshall stood.

"I had more money than he did ... "I got plenty of cheers at that! "My mom had a good job, she was and still is a great mom, I was just the 'problem-child' which caused our mother and daughter relationship some problems ..." I said nervously.

"Tell us about your childhood, you had a rough life if I remember correctly?"

"I wouldn't call it rough, I had rough PARTS of my childhood, with my dad being abusive. It didn't last long, but it was long enough for me, you know?" I coughed briefly. "He started getting more and more drunk when my mom was gone for work for longer periods of time, and then ... I guess he got bored of just being drunk and started to hit me every time he felt like it ... I don 't know, he disgusts me really. Because of that. And you know what ?? After I got more and more known, he tried to phone me up!"
