Pick The One... (COMPLETED)

Chapter 1 - Shall We Start?

Chapter 1 - Shall We Start?

I couldn’t believe! Tonight was the night. Tonight was the night when I’d finally go to another level. I’d turn into a real international pop star. Tonight was the night when my career changed. Tonight were the VMAs.

What was special about that night? Well, tonight we (the boys and I) were going to perform for the first time our new single. You know, the one we had recorded a few months before, on my birthday. And, let’s be honest, performing with 5 idols of almost all the teenagers girls on the globe certainly means something!

“And… we’re done!” Sam said as she applied the final touches on my make-up. She had been torturing me with her brushes and beauty products for almost 2 hours! And the worst part, she had covered all the mirrors in the house so I couldn’t see her work. What kind of best friend/stylist is she?

“Finally, I’m dying to see myself!” I sighted as I tried to pull the white, not-so-transparent sheet that was covering my big mirror.

“No!” she jumped in front of me, not allowing me to move the fabric from its place. “You have to put on your dress first!”

I gave her the ‘are-you-kidding-me-look’ but she just nodded and pointed at my huge closet. I shrugged and opened the door as I entered the enormous closet, searching for the dress.

“You know, I still can’t believe you have such a big wardrobe! I’d die to have half of your clothes…” she said as she was admiring the racks full of expensive clothes and all kinds, colors and shapes of shoes I own.

“You have a pretty big closet too…” I started, staying on my tip toes and trying to reach for my precious dress. “And you can always borrow, I hope you know it,” I finished, turning off the light.

“Ok, I’ll leave you change; and remember, I’m watching you so don’t even try to think of a mirror!” she left the room. Oh, Sam is such a weirdo sometimes… that’s one of the reasons I truly love her!

I unzipped the cover to reveal a beautiful black dress. It was short and glittery, with only one shoulder. It was perfect.

“Michael, do not take any step, Rose is changing!” I suddenly heard my friend’s voice filling the room, trying to stop my boyfriend for seeing me. I decided to ignore Mike's cheeky reply and move on to the changing part.

I put on my stunning dress and then completed the outfit with a pair of Louboutin golden leather high heels and a golden clutch.

“Perfect,” I whispered even though I hadn’t seen myself yet. “I’m ready!” I shouted as I was about to pull the sheet.

“Ah! You are stunning, darling!” Sam put her hands dramatically on her chest, speaking with a lame fake British accent. “You ready?”

I nodded and waited to see my reflection. The cloth fell and I saw myself in the crystal clear mirror. Sam did an amazing job! My golden locks were carefully placed on my shoulders, making it look very natural. My face, which I expected to be caked up with all the cosmetics in the world, was actually very… different of what I expected. Sam apparently had chosen to give my eyes the smooky eye effect and applied some nude lip stick and… that’s it! Even though she used a small amount of make-up, my skin looked flawless. The dress was hugging my curves perfectly, making my long, not-so-tanned legs look longer and, for my joy, skinnier! I was looking flawless and I loved it!

“You are hot…” I saw my boyfriend standing in the door frame, checking me out.

“Oh, shut up!” I rolled my eyes, hitting his arm playfully.
