The Make Up Artist

THE MAKE UP ARTIST - Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

Anja arrived to New York City after a short connection flight from L.A. She landed and was picked up by a shuttle service. She was the first one to hop on board. It was called Go Shuttles. The driver was a slim African American man with golden cat eyes. She'd never seen such a handsome man before. He had the most beautiful long eyelashes. Anja was waiting in the back seat and she watched as the handsome stud was calmly eating his lunch.
"So, are you here on vacation?" he asked. Yes, and no. Mostly for work but I have a day to celebrate my birthday too."
He looked into her eyes with his exotic ones and grinned with his pearly whites. "Oh, well happy birthday."
"Thank you!"
You're welcome." Then he began packing her suitcase into the go shuttle bus.
"So, your accent sounds like you're from London, England. Where are you from?"
"Melbourne."
"Oh, nice, I have a cousin who lives there."
"Oh wow, really?"
"Yeah." More people approached the van and entered sitting in the back seat.
"Oh, wait." Anja says. "I need my drink bottle."
The friendly kind Go shuttle bus driver shows his care and patience and says, "No problems, I'll go grab it out for you. How about you sit in the front with me so we can chat some more." he says.
Anja was feeling the vibe between the two of them and she got excited and smiled, "Yeah I'd love that!"
"Great, so where else did you go?" he asked showing interest.
" I just came in from san Diego and before that L.A."
"How'd you like those places?" He asked showing much intrigue.
"I loved L.A, but I didn't have much fondness over San Diego."
"Aw, why's that?" he said. Then he put his jumper inbetween the Anja and him and Anja watched him as he drove. She looked as his every move and felt his energies. "I went to an event working there as a make up artist, and there was this woman there that hated me. Her husband liked me though. I think she was jealous."
Mr Go Shuttle started smiling, and speaking with his New Yorkan Queens or Harlem accent and passion , "She was jealous of YOU because you're a make up artist!. Hahaha. You're better than her. She does nothing." he said."
"Anja smiled feeling better about herself.
"Are you feeling cold? You can wear my jumper?" he asked.
"Yeah thank you." Anja put his jumper on.

Mr Go Shuttle stopped at one of his stops, dropping off his first passengers at their location. Mr Go Shuttle ran across the road with the suitcases whilst the passengers were waiting at the stop light. And dropped them off and ran back and jumped in. It was as if wanted Anja to see his magical skills in dodging traffic. "See these tourists don't know how to do it, they're afraid of New Yorkan traffic, but I'm used to it." He said smiling with enthusiasm. He really loved his job. Anja began having a crush on him. He then drove off to their next destination. They drove across a bridge. "This is the Brooklyn Bridge where Angelina Jolie jumped off in the movie Salt, he said. Anja kept smiling in awe. She was feeling the excitement and the fantasies of such an amazing city and Mr Go Shuttle was creating it for her.
"See that area over there, that's Queens New York, that's where I'm from."
"Oh wow."
Then a song came on the radio, "New York concrete jungle where dreams are made of there's nothing we can't do..."
"Oh I love this song!" said Anja. I hear this all the time. I went to a Jay Z concert recently."
"Really, because he's from Harlem, where my cousin is originally from. My cousin's a music producer."
The excitement was filling in the car and Anja was bobbing up and down and lifting her arms up and dancing. Mr Go Shuttle was smiling and laughing. He was really cheering her up. "I like you." he said. "I hope we keep in touch." Then it was Anja's stop. She was in front her hotel. Anja didn't answer but she heard Rhonda's voice inside of her head. " Do it, accept his offer."
Mr Go Shuttle then said, "I hope to see you again." Then Anja smiled and answered, "I want that too. "Here's my card." He showed his pearly whites again, took her card and they stared into each eyes. "I don't know your name." she said.
"It's Jaye. Mr Go Shuttle exited the van and brought Anja's luggage to the hotel. "See ya later!" She said smiling.
"I'll call you", he said very happily. Have a wonderful work holiday."
Anja checked into her hotel and slumped down on her hotel bed. The room was large and the bed was a queen sized bed. She felt very comfortable. She began to have fantasies about her and Mr go Shuttle, or now as she knew him, Jaye. "Once you go black you don't go back." she said aloud to herself then began to dance in her room sexy style then did a bend back walk over. "Wow, I haven't done one of those in like forever. Jaye must...like give me so much inspiration."

All this exercise made Anja hungry, she grabbed her bag and skipped downstairs to check out the restaurants in the streets. At the lobby, she grabbed a map and was about to head towards the exit. And who did she bump into? None other than the actor Wentworth Miller himself. It was who Anja was hoping to also meet, but in L.A. She just stared at him, smiled and said "Hi, I'm Anja."
"Hi Anja, pleased to meet you. I loved you on your show. I think you're a fantastic actor. She said gushing. I'm a practicing actor actor myself, well also a make up artist." she said. "I'm here for a photo shoot."
"Are you?" he said. Then he took out a photo of himself, wrote something on it and gave it to Anja and said, "Thanks for watching, then walked off meeting a man. they stood side by side together very closely. Anja watched him walk out the front doors. She wanted to follow him but decided not to.
Anja thought. "No, he's not gay. they're just friends. but oh my god...I just met Wentworth Miller! Pity I didn't have heart to heart with him, which I hoped I would. Oh well..." Then she read her note from him. It said, "You're so talented Anja. Keep shining, and smiling. Wentworth Miller. Anja smiled then skipped out the front door to find somewhere to eat. Anja found a Japanese sushi restaurant and sat inside. She watched as the table went round but decided for takeaway instead. Anja chose a crab sushi roll and a bottle of water, then headed back to her hotel to chill out on her bed.
On the walk back to her hotel she bumped into Jaye. He was in his Go Shuttle with a bunch of passengers and he looked hotter than ever. "Hey, Anja!"
"Oh hi Jaye! Nice seeing you again!"
"Same to you, Anja. Let's go out some time. I'll call you later so we can set a date."
Anja smiled and yelled out. "That'll be nice. Seeya! " Then waved and walked away with her lunch. "Oh Mr Go Shuttle." she said out aloud whilst walking through the crowd.
When Anja reached her hotel room she lay on her bed to eat her lunch and prepare for shoot for the following day. At that moment she received a text message. She thought it could be from Mr go Shuttle, but to her surprise it was from somebody unexpected. "How are you? -John".
