Chapter 25- Well this is defiantly a surprise.
"Gabriel" I say, I guessed he was probably still shocked from finding out I was White Widow. "Long time no see?"
He laughs and gives me a hug with my outfit still in his hands, once we pull apart he hands back my outfit. "Ha, I see puberty was kind to both of us" He says looking around my room.
"Bet those kids at middle school are laughing at theirselves now, you are a international pop star and I'm some unneeded celebrity" I say feeling the fabric of my costume.
"Who says you're an unneeded celebrity? But anyway Rosie" Gabriel says my nickname, the one that he came up with when we were 5 as he struggled to pronounce my name at that time properly he simply gave me a better one that he could pronounce. "Life's gotta be treating you well now, a boyfriend, a normal school to go to and of course Dads got his eye on you"
"Why has Juliano got his eye on me?" I ask.
"Oh come on, you were totally miss model down there with your posing. You never really changed that which is good and my Dad is looking for a new face of his company!" He says smiling.
"Hey I'm no model" I say waving my arms and pretending to strut towards my bed.
"Caste could do with a face like yours"
Caste, the name of Juliano's fashion and photography company. I remembered him taking pictures of me and my family from when we had a family photo-shoot back in Kansas, before my accident.
"Caste can do fine without me" I sang falling back on to my bed. "Anyway, how we you totally relaxed about me being White Widow?"
He shrugs "Okay, I am freaking out inside because I'm worried for you. But it's like every child's dream, no wonder you disappeared from the spotlight 3 years ago"
"Well you should see me in action sometimes, totally worth watching" I brag.
"And you should see my shows sometime"
I laugh and Gabriel falls back on to my bed with me, we exchange glances and slowly smile at one and another before moving our faces closer to each other. I was inches away from kissing him, until reality snapped in and there was a knock on the door.
"Sierra? Are you in there?" James's voice said.
"Crap" Gabriel muttered.
I ran to the that opening a small gap "Hey" I say through the gap. "I'll be down in a minute"
James cocks his head and tries to open the door, but with my powers I push back way too easily "Juliano wants to talk to you" He says "And who is in there?"
I open the door fluky, with nothing to hide, he knows I'm White Widow anyway. I turn around to Gabriel who strides towards James with an arm extended smiling like he just met a fan "Hey you must be the boyfriend" Gabriel says shaking James's hand.
"Your- Gabriel Lancaster" James eyes widens, exchanging looks between me and him.
"Yep, Rosie here is my childhood best friend. We were just catching up" He smiles.
"Rosie?" He questions.
Gabriel nods his head "Oh that's just my nickname for her, cute isn't it?"
James purses his lips, I slowly start to walk between them in breaking the awkwardness. "Well guys why don't we go downstairs and see what Juliano wants?" I say taking both of their hands and pulling them out of the door.
"You know too huh?" James asks Gabriel.
"Listen, I walked into her room hoping to surprise her. I didn't mean to find out anything and I won't tell a soul" Gabriel puts his index finger up to his lips and makes a shh sound.
"You better not" James growls.
He stops on the stairs along with Gabriel, James slowly rolls his hand up into a fist. I step in the middle of them once again and take his fist "Fighting won't resolve this, and I can out do both of you in a fight any day so don't try and get past me" I snap.
I take their hands once again and lead them back downstairs where the cameras start to flash once again "Is that Gabriel Lancaster?" A journalist shouts.
"Gabriel can we get a picture with you and Sierra?" Another shouts.
"Sure" He says and places an arm around my waist. The pictures are snapped and then James jumps in to join and places another arm around my waist. We all smile for the pictures and break apart, Gabriel leads me towards Juliano and James breaks off towards the press as they swarm towards him.
Juliano was still talking to my parents when I saw him again, he smiles at the sight of me and kisses my cheeks "Oh Sierra! I have been looking for you everywhere! We have some business I would like to discuss about my company!" Juliano squeals.
"Juliano is in need for a new face of Caste and he thinks you might be his best fit" Mom explains.
"We agreed it's fine by us to go to a test shoot tomorrow at Juliano's" Dad says.
"Wow" I say "But I'm no model"
Juliano laughs and takes me by the shoulders "Sierra I have known you from the day you were born, I think it's safe to say you have some potential"
I blush, Gabriel nods "I can go with her as support" A voice says behind me.
I sharply turn around to find Peter standing behind me, dress in a tux with Lennie standing next to him in a sequinned dress. "Me too!" She squeals.
"Don't forget me" James appears.
"And me" Gabriel says cooly.
Well, this is defiantly a surprise.
*******
What does the future hold for Sierra? Will she become Castes next face? Will she start to come to terms with her feelings about Peter? Can Sierra make the deadline for Tyler with everything else going on?
Well, what an interesting turn this story has gone through.
Sierra, honey you have a lot to hold on to.
So guys, how did you like this chapter? In the next few chapters we are so going to get into more fights that involve all sorts of people. Tyler and Sierra, Lennie and Sierra, Peter and James.
And of course there so needs to be a fight that involves James, Peter and Gabriel.
Love ya all!
