Chp 5
Santara pilled her hair on top of her head, letting a few golden strands fall. She knew she was going to be the one everyone was looking at, not that asshole Chad. She had found the perfect dress, well worth the 2 grand that it had set her back. She had ventured to Versace to get it. It was a long black strapless, with a very low back. It had small silver sparkle beads, hand embroidered. The sparkles outlined the edges of the dress, all around the top, around the bottom, and going up the dangerously high slit. She smiled as she looked at her reflection. Dark red lipstick and lots of mascara completed the look.
The doorbell rang, and she walked to the door slowly.
"Lets get this over with, shall we?" Santara asked icily as she grabbed her purse.
"I see we went for the 'I'm a hooker lets look at me' look, today San. I must say, you carry it off very very well." Chad kissed her abruptly. Santara pushed him off of her.
"Later, Chad. I'm not in the mood right now." She pulled out a small mirror and checked her lipstick.
"So, I guess I wont be getting blown in the limo."
"This is a two thousand dollar dress, Chad dear. I wont be on my knees in it" She sneered at him and walked towards the limo. They didn't say anything to one another on the way to the party. They made their entrance together, but Santara quickly left him in search of the champagne. She gulped her first glass, and took another. She turned around from the bar and glanced at the people in the party. 'I wish I had remembered to ask Chad whose party this is' There were musicians from every genre, so she couldn't decipher what type of group it was. She soon found a little corner, so she could observe everyone without being bothered too much.
AJ scanned the party. It had been a very boring party so far. The usual kiss ass fest. Both towards the guys, and the guys kissing the big bosses asses.
"AJ, you should check out this major girl in the next room....." Howie came up to AJ abruptly. AJ's ears perked up, and he followed Howie to the other room. AJ followed Howies nod to the corner. He looked, and his mouth opened a little in disbelief. There stood Santara. She was standing with a tall dark haired guy, and looked bored to tears. Unbelievably hot, but bored looking.
"Speechless, huh, AJ? Go talk to her..." Howie kind of pushed his arm towards the corner, and vanished to the other room to find Sarah. AJ stared, just taking her in. He really hadn't expected to ever see her again. But, there she was. He breathed deeply and made his way towards her.
"Can you please refill my drink?" Santara snapped, flinging her glass at the nameless man. The man turned around, tripping over his own feet as he went in search of her refill. Santara just rolled her eyes and turned to the next schmuck approaching her. She turned and met eyes with a very recognizable set of eyes.
"Hi Santara" AJ said, looking deep into her eyes. Santara smiled broadly, unwillingly being happy to see him.
"Hi, AJ" Santara responded. They looked at each other, not sure what to say next. Right then the guy that had gotten Santara her refill came back. Santara took her glass and turned her back to him. AJ laughed a little, seeing the guys expression as she shunned him.
"So....what are you doing here?" AJ asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Well, I'm fucking a mindless bore named Chad, who is a VP for this label. He wanted something nice to arrive with, so I am the lucky chosen one."
"You are so eloquent." AJ joked. Santara laughed. "So, a VP named Chad.."
Santara looked at her glass, not quite sure what to say next.
"Yeah, purely physical......The way I like things to be" Santara said.
"I see......" AJ met her eyes. "So, would an after party coffee be totally unable to accomplish?"
"Well, no. I'd love to go get some coffee with you..." Santara smiled. She forgot about her rules, about not giving repeat performances, and decided to see where this took her.
"Great. You want to leave now? This is a boring ass party" AJ remarked. She shook her head yes, and he grabbed her arm. "Just got to tell someone I'm leaving. Stay right there." AJ ran off to the other room, and a few minutes later came back all smiles. "Lets go." He took hand and placed it in his, and they went outside to an awaiting limo.
The limo dropped them off at a small 24 hour diner. They got a few looks, probably thought Santara was a high class call girl, and AJ was her pimp. They both ordered coffees and started to talk, ignoring the stares.
"So, AJ, you never told me why you were at the party." Santara asked. AJ looked at her slightly stunned. She looked very sincere, so he knew she had no clue who he was.
"Um...." he started to laugh. It was odd having to tell someone what he did, they usually all knew. Santara narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips.
"What? Do I have something on my teeth?" Santara asked annoyed.
"No, no, Baby, your teeth are beautiful. It's just.." AJ breathed. "People usually know me. And I thought you knew, since you were there."
"No, I never asked whose party it was."
"Oh, well, see, I'm in a group. Called the Backstreet Boys..." He said. Santara gave him a confused look.
"It was our album release party..."
"Oh....oh! Really?" Santara felt slightly foolish she hadn't known. She remembered now hearing something about the group, but she didn't listen to anything other then old Motown usually.
"Yeah..."
"I'm sorry I didn't know..."
"Whatever....I am just surprised. I mean, it seems everyone knows who we are."
"No everyone."
"I guess not." AJ laughed. They continued talking, about everything from their childhood's, to the downfalls of fame, to their sex lives. They talked for several hours, basically until the sun rose.
"Well, I guess I should get you home, huh?" AJ asked, standing up.
"Yeah......Even though I don't have another performance until Thursday." Santara remarked.
"Well, do you want to come to my hotel?" AJ asked. Santara smiled.
"I think I'd love to."
AJ put his arm arounf her shoulders and they walked the short distnce to the hotel he was staying. He attacked her with his mouth when they got into the elevator. 'This isn't right....I should be happy I get to sleep with him, so why am I upset?' She tensed up a little, as AJ opened the door to his room. He grabbed her and threw her on the bed. He started to kiss her, but realized she wasn't responding.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"AJ, I don't want to fuck you"
