It was now Monday and I haven't heard from Angela at all. I wanted to call but if she was into me she would of called first. It was obvious that I was into her, she just had to come forward. Tonight I tried to not think of it since I was getting focused for Soul Co. banquet tonight. Every model who has been a big shot or was a big shot would be there so of course that included me seeing Angela. I was ready to see her but at the same time I didn't want to try something that wasn't going anywhere so tonight I chose to play it cool. Around 7pm, I got myself dressed and ready. I called up Zari around 7:50 letting her know that I was on my way. Once I arrived, as usual many camera's flashed in my face. I brushed passed them in went on my way. Zari was watching me while doing some little speech. I smiled not even realizing that I was that happy. Zari was very pretty but she wasn't into me and I wasn't really in to her like that, I was mainly happy she in Soul Co. gave me a chance. I applauded for her as well as others when her speech was finish in suddenly everyone faced turned my way. I was a little confused til Zari gave me a heads up to look back and as I did, there stood my new enemies, members of Fortune Modeling. My stomach dropped heavily. I knew they'd be here but didnt think I'd feel nothing of it. Angela in Connie began to head my way but I walked to the bar at a swift pace and started the night. I had 3 shots of vodka as Connie came near sitting next to me.
"So you still want to be a big drinker after the talk we had at your place?, you really need to slow down".
"My body, my rules".
"But Dustin, your on a new team now, this isn't something you should be doing to impress them".
"Its a banquet Conniiiie, were here to have fun and the bar is here to drink!".
"Noo Dustiiiin and were here to compete".
"Well if that's the case, I'm a Soul Co. baby so you better step your game up sweetheart because I am not holding back".
I left her with her mouth wide open and headed through the crowd. Angela was standing at another bar watching the band play. I smiled in made my way to her.
"Soo your ready for this!?"
She gave me a look and shook her head.
"Dustin why are you doing this?, you know Connie is trying to look out for you"
"Ohh right like she looked out for my job with the help of you!!"
"It wasn't like that, you needed to get your act together, we care about you"
"Bullshit! Don't act like you care!! You never have you just wanted my job".
At that time, all eyes were on me in Angela. I didnt even care anymore about the banquet I just had to clear my mind. Angela didnt like the stares that were given so she grabbed my arm to go get privacy but I snatched back.
"Dustin please let's go"
"No!!!! I'm not going anywhere, your a model Ang' get use to the looks!"
"Dustin--I--"
"Don't even explain shit to me!!!, your as bad as her, the only reason you hung with me so long was to distract me from the lies that were thrown right in my face!!"
"It wasn't like that I--"
"Shut up, I don't care!!"
I grabbed my drink in walked off leaving her in the crowd in whatever thoughts that had, Zari came my way but I didnt want to get talked to so I ran out the doors and headed to my car. I jumped in, drink in all spilling then sped out into the streets. I needed to get out of there.
I sped into the highway doing at least 100mph. Cars honked in people yelled but I ignored it. Tears fell down my eyes because of the shit that went down and from before, I wasn't focused anymore on anything just really angry. I hopped off the freeway toasting my drink out the window not giving a damn which I should of because the cops were right on my tail. I had half of mind to give the world a high speed chase but I already dealt with enough of seeing my face in the media.
I slowly let the sirens fill my ears than eased to the side in parked. A huge cop came out yelling before I could even get a word in. He took my licence and registration form than came back.
"Sir do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Because uuhh I tossed my cup uuuh out the uhhh window"
"Sir have you been drinking?!"
"No shit! what you think was in my cup"
"Sir I'm going to ask you to step out of the vehicle"
" Naah I'm good"
"Sir step out of the vehicle or you'll be forced out!"
"So you say"
"Sir!!--"
Right then in there I sped off. I knew he was on my ass in calling for back up. I stared in my rearview mirror seeing more cop cars come forth.
I turned, crossed streets, and attempted some stops then finally after 20 minutes I gave up. I was yanked out my car, yelled at like crazy and tossed into the back seat.
"Damn".
