Chapter 4 Background on the Daniels family part 2

Sarah had started highschool, Edith was fresh out of high school and working at a Chinese Clothing store, Xing xang clothing. It wasn't really bad for a starter job. The Daniels parents did not have any money to spend on college for their remaining three children as they had paid for a few courses for Emily, their golden child. The rest of us would have to pave our own way. Ediths dream was to be a singer. She has the voice of a chihuahua and maltese, but she believed it was the voice of an angel.

Coco Cola was hosting a competition this year called Coco Cola Popstars. It was a singing contest and would be in Curo this weekend. 

Edith decided she was going to audition.

She woke up before sunrise on Saturday morning. She was bubbling with excitement. She was also nervous but she pressed on. She had a long shower, washing her hair with Pantene, leaving it super shiny and sleek. She rubbed her lotion, lathering her voluptuous body. She had a pear shape body. Tiny at the top but a round firm buttocks. Her eyes were hazel and her hair dark and wavy. She dressed casual, in a pink and white t-shirt,light blue bootleg jeans which was ripped at the knees and her white and blue Reebok takkies.

She picked up her Tony and guy straightener and carefully straightened her hair until it was smooth. She applied her make up carefully. Using her Essence foundation matte beige and after glow, highlighting her contours. She decided to go with a pink eye shadow, touching just the corners of her eyelids with a splash of silver grey, dabbing along with a tissue to give her the smokey eye look. Her long eyelashes did not need mascara but she applied it anyway.  Her lips were full with the pink lipstick she applied followed by lipgloss. Edith selected huge silver and pink bangles and a matching necklace and earrings to compliment her outfit.

Once ready, she drank a cup of rooibos tea to settle her butterflies in her stomach and left the house.

Edith walked to the bus stop and eagerly awaited the bus. She took the first bus that came. She sat on a two seater and looked around. It was only 6h30am but the bus seemed full. Edith wondered if some of these people were attending the auditions. She jumped off at The Workshop. A large shopping mall in the centre of the town. Her destination was a ten minute walk. She crossed over passing a few historic buildings and a large flea market.

Edith reached the auditions, there were close to a thousand applicants. She calmly walked to the desk and took a number, 996.  The line was long, the grass field was filled with people waiting their turn.

She walked over to sit in the grass under a tree. Next to her was Mary, a lesbian girl who eyed her with curiosity. They introduced themselves and made small talk. This was a long day and Edith hadnt prepared fir the long wait. She leaned against the trer and closed her eyes. Taking calm breaths to ward of the anxiety.

Suddenly her vision went dim, the light had disappeared. She slowly opened her eyes and in front of her was a man boy. He was darker than her, with short black wavy hair and a mustache and beard. His eyes were curved downwards and he had a black and white bandana around his head. He wore big baggy jeans and a Pringle check shirt. 

"Um, Hi pretty lady, I saw you from across the park and I just wanted to get to know you" he said, "Im Sam by the way and you are?"

Edith was stunned, she knew better than to talk to strangers but she was mesmerized by his bad boy looks. 

"Im errrr Edith" she replied, still flattered by his compliment.

Sam had already auditioned, Edith gave up on the audition and spent the day getting to know Sam. 

After Edith returns home, she breaks the news to every one. 

"I met a boy, he is so charming and handsome. You all will love him. He is smart and funny" Edith said with excitement. And.... He will be coming home next Saturday. 

Sam and Edith dated for a month, every Saturday Sam would come home to see Edith. 

After a month passed. 

Sam brough his parents home to meet the Daniels family. 

And vice versa happened.
