Linda arrived two weeks ago and found a small apartment on 3rd street and it was walking distance to her job, The Bongo Club. He found a job as a singer which made her happy. All her life she wanted to sing with the stars and have her own star. One day at the club she wore a White dress with her black hair up and styled. Her blue eyes scanned the crowed when she entered. It was a slow day but that was everyday. She groaned and made her way to the back of the stage.

George groaned at the persisting assistant he had, he stared at him dead serious.'' No is no Humphrey. I will not go to such a place to find a singer. We will hold auditions like usual.'' he sternly said slipping in his suit. The guy named Humphrey whine, '' But George! I swear you won't be deceived! She is the girl you need!'' he insisted. Humphrey rolled his eyes, he hated how his assistant was always persistent but he did have the ear. '' Fine, I'll stay only for a few minutes. I have business to attend.'' he said walking away from his bureau. Humphrey grinned widely, '' YES! I knew you would finally accept!'' he said jumping in joy. One thing that George like about Humphrey was his natural cheerful self, he only smirked '' Yeah yeah..now bring me to that rat hole.'' he said

Linda did her make up doing a beautiful but simple eyeliner and bright red lipstick. She breathed and smiled. She was always nervous about performing. You might never know who is out there, but recently there had been no one. "One day Linda.. you will get there." She said looking at a photo of her family. She smiled and blew a kiss and got up. She saw a few more people walk in the club and rubbed her hands. "Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome to the stage Linda Meeks." Said the owner of the club.

They finally got served a filthy table like he said, he hated those kind of places, only junkies were here, nothing professional can come out from this little joint. George crossed his legs and leaned on the VIP booth they had received, he ordered a whiskey and stared at Humphrey who seemed nervous since entering here. '' So..Humphrey. I had no Idea you actually enjoyed this sort of places..I'm not surprised tho.'' he said sarcastically thanking the waiter for the drink and giving him a generous tip. Humphrey grabbed his bottle of beer and laughed nervously, '' Hum..yeah, the drinks are good here.'' he said blushing slightly looking at the far end of the bar, where some woman who seemed to work here waved at him. George nodded, ''Oh i see..Obviously the drinks are good here.'' he said wincing at the strange taste the whiskey had. He sighted and looked at the stage not expecting anything.

Linda smiled at herself and walked out on the stage. Some of the boy's hoots and hollers making her blush a bit but smiled. She looked at the band and nods as they started to play. She started to bob her hair and opened her mouth to sing. After her song and then men cheered and she smiled and she bowed a bit and walked back off stage seeing some of the newer men with starstruck faces.

Once he saw the woman, he rolled his eyes and looked at Humphrey '' Is that the girl? You can see all over her face that she-'' George cut straight once she started singing. He closed his eyes tapping his finger on his glass to the beat of the percussion and trumpets. He smirked and found himself loving it, once the song was finished he stood up and was the first one to clap his hand looking straight at the girls eyes She is the one. He thought


Humphrey bursted out laughing knowing full well that look from George.

Linda smiled once she got back stage. She would have to go back up for another number but sh had to change quickly. Once she put on a tapping came on her dressing room. She turned and looked at it. "Hello?" She said sitting on her chair with her left leg crossed over the right. She watched as two men walked into the room. "Hello sirs, how may I help you?"

After hearing the performance, George ran to the singers room. He was going to ask her right away if she wants a contract and start the real deal. Humphrey followed clumsily bumping on people at the same time as apologizing . George knocked on the door and walked in once permitted,. He looked at the girl, immediately admired her beauty. He coughed a bit and took the lady's hand and kissed it, '' Hi. My name is George Hayworth, owner of the Hayworth Record label. I have just witness your performance, and let me say it was amazing.'' he stated in a very gentleman like way.

 

[CrimsonBanchee]

Her eyes widen and looked at him. "Ohh why thank you." She blushed a bit and stood up letting her brown hair fall. George Hayworth was infront of her saying she was amazing. Her heart began to race.

 

[32sillylight32]

George looked at her hair flow in the air, he found her dead gorgeous.She's the one. he thought looking at her, captivating every detail of her face. he then looked back at Humphrey who had a smile on his face, '' Well, then this is Humphrey and my I please have your name?'' he asked staring at her eyes.

 

[CrimsonBanchee]

She smiled and bowed her head. "Linda Meeks." She said then holds her hand out. You can tell that she wasn't just a dirty tramp. She was nice and cleaned and smelled like Jasmine. "its a pleasure to meet you two."

'' The pleasure is mine Miss.Meeks.'' George said, Humphrey simply said the same thing and George got out of his trance, '' No down to bussiness, as I said, i was the owner of the HayWOrth record label and we are currently searching for a beautiful talented woman to represent us. And I believe I have found all of my criterias in you Miss.'' he continued professionally. She was dead gorgeous, a hiponotician voice and was classy, not like some groupies who just wanted money.

 

[CrimsonBanchee]

Her eyes widen making her blue eyes pop out. She blushed and brushed a hair behind her ear. "You want to sign me?" She was getting butterfly's in her stomach. She smiled showing her teeth. 'This cant be happening this is a dream' She thought
