THE MAKE UP ARTIST Chapter 5

CHAPTER 4

Anja stared at the message for ages, hypnotised as if tiny needles were pricking at her brain. She was now in meditation mode. She was sitting there not doing anything, just having a brain orgasm. She lay down lifeless, just seeing images and feeling feelings. Anja blinked, twice. And breathed deeply in and out. But she felt tingly all over. Her energy was sucked like a vaccuum from those three words. How...are...you? She decided not to answer it, not yet anyways, quickly sat up, regained her energies and kept eating, and focusing on her designs for the photoshoot.

Anja had finished eating couldn't resist answering the message. She didn't know what to write. So she thought long and hard. She wanted to write something positive. "I'm feeling fantastic thank you. My birthday is tomorrow."
Not long after there was a response."Well, Happy birthday. x How old will you be?"
"25" Anja wrote. "How old are you, John?"
"I'm 34. Enjoy the fire works tomorrow. And congrats."
Anja smiled. She was still feeling warm and tingly and happy she made a new friend. He seemed normal to her even though he appeared outgoing on stage, he was pretty down to Earth in reality. Anja down down and felt him beside her then rested her eyes.

The following morning she awoke, it was 5am and her alarm went off. It was the 4th of July and Anja headed into the shower and straight to central park where she would be making over 10 different models for an editorial shoot and 4th of July parade.
The day went so quickly. Anja was then interviewed at the end by Entertainment Tonight. "You did such an amazing job on the models, Anja, how do you feel?," asked the interviewer."
"Thank you. I feel great. And they look amazing. I love New York."
"We love you too Anja. We'd love to have you back here."
Thanks!" smiled and exclaimed Anja.
Then Anja took photos with the models and headed off back to her hotel to get ready for the firework celebrations. At that moment Mr Jaye Go Shuttle called her.
"Hey Anja, can I pick you up tonight to see the fireworks?"
"Yeah I'd love that."
"Happy birthday by the way." he said in his sexy New Yorkan accent.
"Thank you Jaye! I hope you got me something."
"As a matter of fact I did."
"What is it?"
"It's a surprise."
"I can't wait!" said Anja. Then Jaye laughed.

Anja dressed up with a dress she had borrowed from the shoot. It was a white cocktail dress with sparkles on it. Anja looked very elegant, sexy and glamorous in it. She did her own make up and applied big curls in her. The she looked in the mirror and began to pose and pout. So Anja took her camera out and took photos of herself. Then she received a text. It was from Jaye. "I'm downstairs."
It was time to go to the fireworks. Jaye and Anja stood watching the fireworks in front of the water across from the bridge. It was a spectaculiar scene. "Happy birthday Anja." said Jaye handing her a small gift. It was a small box wrapped in a ribbon.
Anja opened it. She gasped. "My turtle ring, but how?! Where'd you find it?"
"It was in the car. You left it there." he said smiling.
Then she smiled and kissed him on the lips.
And he slipped it on her finger.
