chapter 10: some plans

Let's just say that being knee-deep in a prickly bush is not the most comfortable place to be on an 100 degree day.

Especially while wearing all black clothing.

I internally groan, hating the gross feeling of sweat pouring down the middle of my bra.

That's right, I'm a boob sweater;and it sucks.

It's at moments like these where I hate my job the most. Being undercover all the time isn't a fun thing, lemme tell you.

It's also annoying how long you have to wait for the celebrity you're supposed to be capturing on film.

Today I was currently waiting outside of a doctors office for some actress from a new movie that was on the verge of coming into theaters.

She was rumored to be pregnant after  supposedly having a 'sexual relationship with fellow cast-member on set'

I could give two shits if she's pregnant or not, but my wallet couldn't.

I needed cash, and this is what's gonna make that happen.

My ears suddenly perk up when I hear the door opening to exit the hospital.

Then I hear footsteps, and a girls voice.

Aha, this is my moment.

I get up very slowly and -

Run smack into her.

At first I think it's Sina, the maybe-pregnant actress, but my eyes considerably widen when I do a double-take to see who it was.

I just ran into Luke's girlfriend.

"U-uh sorry about that!" I say, my cheeks flushing considerably red.

Her surprised facial expression quickly turns into a disgusted sneer.

"It's Charlotte isn't it?" She smirks evilly at me.

"Um yes..." I say, confused as to why she was asking my name.

"So you're another one of Luke's fan-girls aren't ya?" She says.

I scoff, "No, for your information, Lauren, I am Luke's friend. And I really have to get back to my job, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd leave me alone, thanks." I smile, in the most bitchy way possible.

"Okay, I'll do just that, Charlotte. But, let me set one thing straight with you, first. Luke is mine, he's fucking wrapped around my finger; and don't think you can just come along and change that. Because, for your information, he plans on popping the question soon." She smirks at me, licking her already glossed lips.

"Great." I say through clenched teeth.

She gives me a little three-fingered wave, before walking off into the parking lot to her expensive looking car.

Oh , how I wished I would've punched her ugly ass face in.

I'm fuming inside, wondering how she knows that he was gonna 'pop the question' soon. Luke was only fucking twenty years old, and was in the high point of his career. Was he that retarded to even think of getting married?

I roll my eyes at their stupidity, sick of them both very much.

Then I hear the door open again, and out walks the actress, Sina.

Tears are streaming down her face, and I quickly back away and snap a few unnoticed pictures, not wanting to bother her after she'd probably heard some terrible news.
