Audition - Southern Belles Part 1 (Erotic Romance Series) by Amanda Heartley Page B

were generous with their tips. It kept up her rent in an upscale neighborhood, not that she didn’t make great money, the restaurant paid her well, but the added tips were a huge bonus. Sometimes she needed a little extra…for girlie things.
    It was only after she reached her car that her incredible stupidity hit her. Shit! She couldn’t believe she went off on that guy. This was an awesome part in a real movie. He was sure to write her off as crazy now. Giggling to herself, she thought, Oh well I fucked that one up. She drove off to change into her uniform, and go back to her predictable, boring life.

Chapter 2
     
    After going bat-shit crazy at the audition, the last thing she expected was the phone call that came the very next morning. The Wall Street dinner party was a hit and she made over a thousand dollars in tips. Not bad for one night. Unfortunately, she didn’t get home till after two so when the phone rang at six thirty in the morning, she wasn’t in the best of moods.
    “Hell – “
    “Annabelle Gibbons, rise and shine! It’s a great day to –“
    “Who is this?” She choked, her head pounding from lack of sleep.
    “Girl, don’t tell me you already forgot about me? It’s Daveed, your favorite queen! You hurt me, girl, you really hurt me.” He whined.
    “Oh, sorry, what time is it? Why are you up at this hour?”
    “Vic, I mean Mr. Rossen, told me to set up a lunch appointment with you today so he could discuss a few details about that part you wanted in the new Carole Stimson movie, you game, girl? You better be!”
    Annie’s first response was to say ‘Seriously?’, but she bit her tongue and managed to croak out a “Sure, that would be great.”
    “Excellent. Sin Devicio’s, on Alameda - you know the place? He wants you there at noon sharp.”
    “Okay Daveed, I’ll be there, but this better be worth it.”
    “Oh, sweet cheeks, he’s ALWAYS worth it. God, if he invited me to lunch at Sin Devicio’s, I’d be so fuckin’ happy, I’d cream my jeans. Oops! Sorry! TMI, gotta go! Don’t forget, noon sharp.”
    Hanging up the phone, she jumped out of bed and throwing her fists up in the air, she let out a yell, dancing around in her cami and panties, she danced into the kitchen and put some coffee on. She was going to need it. Lots of it. She had to wow him or she may never get this part. Good thing she was off work tonight or she would never get any sleep.
    Annie sucked on her bottom lip. What to do? What to wear? Sin Devicio’s was one of the best restaurants on Restaurant Row, the most expensive restaurant districts in the city. She would never have been able to afford to eat there on her own. Even if he was just going to tell her to come to call-backs, or to discuss what she had done wrong, she didn’t care. Just eating at Sin Devicio’s would be worth it.
    Pulling out her phone, she texted Daveed.
    ‘ What’s his fav color?’
    After a few minutes when she didn’t hear back from him, she opened her closet to figure out what she was going to wear. She had to be sexy, but not too slutty. Something shockingly wonderful, and respectable. Nothing black, this was a lunch date. Something colorful, but subtle. She settled on a royal blue dress with a princess neckline. The royal blue would accentuate her bright blue eyes and lightly tanned décolleté. And the princess neckline, well… it would accentuate the girls.
    There were still a few hours before the lunch date and she didn’t want to get dressed too early, or end up arriving late. Sipping her coffee, she wondered what the meeting was about. Was she hired? Did they want another audition? This could be her big break, her dream come true! Her heart was racing and she knew she better slow down and relax.
    Flopping down on her bed, she set her alarm for 9:30; just a little more sleep and she could handle the day. Last night was a bear and she sure as hell didn’t want to show up for lunch with bags under her eyes
