The Love Of The Game

=Metamorphosis=

"Just sit tight and we'll take care of everything." A gay looking man said with a smile as he spun me around in a hair dressing chair. "My name is Thane. Do you like your long hair, or love it?"

"Love it." I said quickly.

He smiled, "Perfecto!" He took the scissors and started to cut my hair.

"What are you doing?" I asked scared.

"I'm trimming your dead ends. I'm not cutting your hair." He waved his hand in the air saying it's not a big deal.

So I let him finish with that, and then he soon started playing with my makeup. "Do you like your grunge look, or do you want something softer?" He asked as he dug through his makeup kit.

"Umm, can you do it in between?" I asked nervously.

He furrowed his thick, bold, eyebrows, "Can I do it in between?" He looked over at the lady next to him and laughed, she soon chimed in laughing as well. He quickly looked back at me, "Honey, I can do anything." He raised and eyebrow and smirked. It made me feel unsteady, but he was gay, so he was probably talking about things he could do to his lesbian lover. He was actually a really cool dude.

He started to apply makeup to my face, and when he finished I wasn't allowed to look. "You need some new apparel. You think so too?"

I looked down at my black workout leggings, and black PTV t-shirt. "Umm, I guess so?"

"Great!" He clapped his hands and dragged me into the fitting room. I was soon dressed in many clothes. Then he handed me a beige tank top, a black and white tribal print shawl, some denim skinny jeans, white converse, and lots of bracelets and necklaces.

He quickly curled my hair, "Let's go show Chad the new you."

"It's Brad." I corrected him.

He shook his head, "No, he looks like a Chad. I'm gonna stick with what he looks like." He smiled as we walked out into the waiting room where Brad was sitting.

I watched Brad as I walked out, his jaw dropped, he stood up and walked closer. "Lennon? Is that even you?"

I smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I don't know what I look like. Is it good or bad?"

"Did you not see my facial expression when you walked out?" He chuckled, "You look incredible."

I turned around to thank Thane, but he was holding a mirror. As soon as I caught a glimpse of myself I wanted to cry. I knew I had never looked this pretty before. "Thank you so much Thane!" I hugged him tightly and after that Brad and I left.

>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<

"We have a whole week here in L.A." Brad smirked as we got in the limo headed to Hotel that Colton arranged for us to stay at while we were here.

I gazed my eyes on him and shook my head, "Don't you get any ideas Robertson." I giggled.

His eyes widened, "Thompson! You're so dirty minded!"

I laughed, "I know you were thinking something inappropriate."

He nodded and smiled, "'Yeah, just a little bit." As he grabbed a bottled water out the fridge his eyes locked onto mine. For a second I felt like we had a connection, but then I realized that he was like a brother to me so I quickly looked away. He smiled, "I meant that we could go do some sight seeing while we're here. There's so much to do here."

I nodded as I glanced out the window, "Yeah, this is my first time out of San Antonio."

"You've never left San Antonio?" His jaw dropped.

I nodded my head, "Yup, we've never had the money to travel to other places."

Brad looked down, "I know how that goes. I've never left home either."

I was shocked. Maybe we weren't so different. I still had so much to learn about him. I don't think I've even scratched the surface.

>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<

The limo made it to the hotel that we were staying in. We checked in at the front desk, and the man behind the counter said that we had the presidential suite. I never understood what the difference between a regular room and the presidential suite... Until now.

I opened the door with my room key that the guy gave me earlier. It was on the top floor, so we took the elevator.

"Oh my god." I whispered as I took in this beautiful room.

It had four bedrooms, even though we only needed two. The bathroom were huge, had double sinks, and they even had a jacuzzi bath... Dead.

I ran to the first room and claimed it as mine. Brad really wanted it first, but he was too slow.

The view was beyond beautiful. I knew where I would be most of the time here.

As soon as I finished unpacking, I called my family, and told them how amazing it had been since we got here.

They all told me how much they missed me, especially Drew. I had never been away this long. Hopefully they could come with me next time, and I can give them more.
