Hailey Anderson
"Are you nervous?" Janet asked and I chuckled.
"A little bit I guess.” I said.
"You look beautiful." She smiled.
"Hey." I saw Rose entered the waiting room with Angel and Sophia. They hugged me and chuckled.
"You're so beautiful.. kick it tonight okay?" Angel said and I nodded.
"Will do.”
"You'll do great.. I don't even know you can play piano." Rose said.
"I used to play it but got bored 2 years ago and decided to take a break for awhile." I said.
"He doesn't know about you coming here." Sophia said.
"Let him be.. I'm not hoping for him to notice me though." I said hopeless.
"Hey.. he will, just chill. I have something plan." I turned to Janet and we looked at her with questioning eyes.
"What are you planning Locason?" Rose asked.
"You'll see.”
"Ailey!" I turned to see Mark. I hugged him.
"Hey Marky" I chuckled.
Today is the day of the charity. Stella, Janet's friend who made the charity invite important people to attend this. There's so many people who will participate for the auction and guess what? There's even models and beautiful girls on the line while I'm just a potato.
Yes potato.
"Don't be nervous okay? We'll cheering for you." Angel smiled.
"Thankyou so much." I chuckled.
"Do they know why you guys here?" I asked.
"All they know is that we're meeting Stella.. I mean we're not lying about that." Janet stated and I just love them. It's time for us to prepare ourself and they left first. They said they will be cheering for me. I will be the last girl to be auction because was the last girl to sign the agreement.
Today I'm wearing a black long dress with spaghetti strap and a slit on my left leg. I straightened my hair and put on my make up. Today’s theme is sexy so I focused on my red lips more. I smiled look at myself on the mirror.
I'm nervous, I practice my play for hours and hoping that I won't make any mistake. The total of participant today is around 23 I guess, I'm nervous and a little scared. What if they only buy me for 5 dollars? Oh shoot! That will be so embarassing.
5 dollars.. I'm equal to a potato.
"Hailey.. you can wait behind the stage.” Suddenly Stella announced and I smiled. I walked with her out from the waiting room. She said that the auction already started 15 minutes ago.
There will be 5 girls who will go up at the same time to the stage and shoot.. now it's already the 4th girl. the 3rd one sold for 3500$. Are you kidding me? That's quite a lot.
I'm so nervous now.
After waiting and waiting for a long time.. it's time for me to go up to the stage. But this time there's only 3 of us, since there 23 people. The 21st girl is so beautiful and so is the 22th girl.. damn it. Why did I join this?
I walked up to the stage and just smiled sweetly. The girls beside me posing like a model and I don't know what to do that so I just stood there smiling. I looked at the people and caught Janet and the girls was sitting with the boys.
I saw Luke fix his eyes on me, he has a shock expression plastered on his face. I just looked away not wanting to see his face a bit even though I miss him a lot. I'm nervous.. I felt my body turn cold and I’m sweating.
"Jessica Blantern sold for 12.000 dollars to Mr. Fescom." The MC announced, I closed my eyes and take a deep breath. I'm next..
"Next participant is Ms. Hailey Anderson, 23 years old. Everyone knows The Anderson right?" The MC joked but I'm not in a situation to laugh right now.
"Let's start from 100$.. who is interested to have a 1 date with Ms. Anderson can bid on her." I regreted this.
"200$." I turned to see a handsome black hair guy.
"500$.” This time is a blonde guy.
"1000$." My eyes widen as Mark bid on me, I looked at him disbelief.
"1500$.. 2000$.. 3500$.." They're all different person and are you kidding me?
"3500$ going once?"
"4000$.. 4250$.. 4500$.. 5000$.. 6000$.. 10.000$.”
"100.000$.”
"100.000$ by Mr. Luke Hastington.” I looked up to see Luke already gave me an angry eyes. The girls smiled in victory.
"100.000$ going once.. going twice.. Ms. Hailey Anderson is sold to Mr. Luke Hastington.” The MC announced and I threw a glare to Luke.
"Ms Hailey has a special performance tonight.. please Ms. Anderson." I smiled to the MC and walked to the piano.
"I hope ladies and gentleman enjoy the rest of the event tonight, please enjoy." I said and they clapped. I smiled sweetly to all of them before preparing to play my piece.
I made this piece, it's called 'Summer is You' and 'Beautiful Day'. I started to play my piece seriously, dancing my finger on the piano. I'm happy to play it again after not playing for 2 years full.
"That's Ms. Anderson everyone." The MC announced and I got big applause for playing the piano. I smiled and bow a little to say thankyou.
"You may to down to sit beside Mr. Hastington." He stated and I looked at Luke in horror. I smiled awkwardly. I walked down from the stage. I got attacked by the girls.
"You're so amazing!!" Rose squealed.
"Thankyou.. I'm nervous. How was it?" I asked.
"It was great!" Angel said.
"You're really talented." Sophia patted my shoulder.
"Thankyouu" I chuckled.
"Luke was stressing.. he kept looking at the people who make a bet on you. We almost bursted laughing seeing him panic like a poor rat!" Janet said and they all laughed.
"I was hoping someone handsome to buy me not him!" I hissed and they chuckled.
"He almost kill my brother earlier for bidding on you." Janet added and I looked at her disbelief.
"Now go.. don't make my brother wait.” Rose said giving me a teasing look. We walked back to the table and I sat beside Luke but moved the chair away from him. He turned to me and I looked away.
"I don't know you can play a piano." He stated and how I miss hearing his voice.
"I'm paying 100.000$ and now you're not talking to me." He stated again and I turned to him.
"Thankyou for making a bid on me Mr. Hastington, I can walk back to that stage again to ask for another bidding." I said and looked at him straight to his blue eyes.
"Getting feisty huh?" He suddenly leaned closer to me, he smirked. I wanted to slap that face so bad.
"Ailey!" Mark went to me.
"Marky!" I hugged him.
"Your performance are amazing.. I mean thanks for showing me first." He said that and I looked at him confuse. I never play this song in front of someone before. He even said that in front of Luke.
"Thankyou Marky.. I played it well right? Just like I did when I was practicing." I smirked and Mark smiled, I'm smart enough to know what he's up to.
"Marky? Ailey?" I heard Luke said in a really annoy tone.
"You played it well." Mark kissed my forehead.
"Are you s***ting me?" Luke suddenly bursted and pulled my chair closer to him. He put his arm around me and I looked at him weirdly.
"Thankyou Marky.. let's hang out after this. My treat!" I smirked at Mark and he winked.
"I got you for 100.000$ and you're treating him not me?" Luke's angry.
"Who told you bid that amount of money Luke?" I asked as I turned to him smiling sweetly.
