The brunette-haired girl was dressed in all black. Black perhaps, because her mood was equally as dark as the color was. “A cappuccino please.” She ordered, tapping on the menu with her fingers before she slid it over the table to the waiter. “Right away ma’am.” The waiter responded with a smile and accepted it before hurrying off to the counter.Aria glanced around the large coffee house with mixed feelings. She had noticed the new shop while taking a walk in the area last week and had wanted to visit the coffee house for the first time with Lola. She swallowed and took a glimpse at the time on her wristwatch. She was thirty minutes earlier than the appointed time for their meeting....and so was Steve. “Baby.” An excited voice called from behind and Aria sighed inwardly as the man's face came into view.“Steve. You are here early.” Aria pointed out. “Ordered a cappuccino already, what would you like to have?.”“Black, strong coffee,” Steve responded with a wink, then a quick rub of

The morning light casts on the two figures in the bedroom. One who couldn't sleep a wink the previous night and the second, who had silently kept her company through the night.As predicted, after series and series of rapid news and investigations the night before, Lola's identity had been revealed to the public. Noah's men were quick and had shut down the news source in less than ten minutes after Noah's instructions but #yourdancemuse was a famous dancer and her previously secret celebrity identity only got more people interested in both the passionate dancing girl and the news of her identity. They recognized the background from the video as it matched all the other uploaded dance videos. The video had also been forwarded millions of times and the exposure from the public wasn't one to be curbed so easily. Soon, Lola's phone had blown up with calls and messages from both familiar and unknown lines including Maria, Josh, James, and even Aria and Noah had been forced to take the phon

Lola stood in the dressing room, her hazel eyes glued to her reflection and to that of the stylists in the mirror. In two hours, she would be boarding a vehicle prepared by Noah to convey her to Rosewood's MT Media building, and in three hours, she would be facing reporters, loads and loads of reporters who would be interested in asking her loads of questions.**Flashback to two days ago**Lola switched her phone back on to reach Maria who she knew must have seen the news. But Lola was not prepared for the disturbing phone buzz that came with that decision. Noah who had walked into the room just in time hurriedly took over once again, retrieving the phone from her hand and placing it on airplane mode for the time being. "Were you trying to call mom?." Noah asked, his voice cool and calm as he stared at the girl on his bed. She had been indoors for two straight days and he had opted to work from home to keep her company. Lola’s fans had been scarily fast and had taken refuge in front

Guy adjusted the lenses of his glass and positioned them perfectly upon the bridge of his pointed nose before staring out of the window to the other side of the street once more. Following Noah's instruction religiously, his team had tailed after Aria right from the moment she left the apartment on Dover Street in a hurry and flagged down a cab that had led them to this particular part of town. Right now, the girl had halted in front of a very famous and private club, doing nothing but standing after getting out of the cab. "Is she waiting for someone?." Guy wondered as he observed the girl standing alone on the cold street. It was rather unusual that she had been in such a hurry to get there only to stand at the entrance of the club doing nothing but waiting.The possibility of his assumption being the case was high and Guy was very much interested in who that "someone" might be. Not more than four minutes later, a well-built man from the club dressed in a tight-fitting black tee a

Lola woke up to the familiar ringing tone of her cell phone which was miraculously arranged in the corner of the bedside drawer."Hello..." she spoke up, yawning as she picked up the call."Lola honey. Did I disturb your sleep?." "Oh, Mom. Good..morning." Lola said, now widely awake at the realization that Maria was calling her so early in the morning. "Is everything all right over there Mom?." she asked."No actually. I’m sorry I woke you up." Maria returned apologetically then continued. "I was wondering if you would be free let's say later in the day? There's someone I would like for you to meet." Maria's voice was a bit anxious as she spoke and Lola wondered if that particular ‘someone’ was Richard Kings. Was her Mom finally thinking of introducing him to her daughter formally as her boyfriend? At this thought, Lola happily responded. "Sure I would be there Mom. See you later then.""Have a great day cupcake.""You too Mom." Lola returned with a smile as the call ended.Her body
