Chapter 39.5 - a girl in UCLA

With new thesis that I need to complete, there no way a chance that I could make any arrangements for myself now. With Dad constantly asking me to research the cultural developments in South America. While listening to my walkman “frozen by madonna” writing these research materials really makes me tired from constant work this is not like the normal school paperwork. With statistics, reports and reading materials that I need to compile.

In the library, I’m really one of the youngest girl around, but most of the professor really helped me giving guidance in making this thesis to be ready for my presentation. My eyesight is really bad right now, with a power over 1000 its something that I need to get it done. Now I’m like a nerd studying for my degrees and Master’s at the same time.

Mrs Friztgerald called me

“Nat….about the reports that you submitted to me, I need you to evaluate again the issue regarding the children developments in the Middle East region that you evaluate is fascinating but its not complete. Mr Hawk agreed that you may need to visit the area itself”

“uh….is that even allowed?”

“Yeah…work together with Professor Yasmeen because she need that report to submit to UNICEF”

“uh…okay…” another job for then. I took the report back and report to dad about it, the only thing in my mind now is rest.

“Hey Nat, I heard that your mentor Madame Luca wanted you in Hollywood because she need you to make a modelling for her latest dress…leave this work and head there okay…”

“uh…dad is this what it means to be an adult?”
“huh?”

“Yeah with constant schedule and works including assignments is really making me lose my mind”

“Yeah, its like that kid…but you’re different like I said before, because unlike Alex who have an abnormal physical stamina and energy you however easily tired from it, but your IQ and EQ is something that no other student here possess. Even MIT wanted you to be there.”

“ummm…okay, fine I’ll be with Madame, but could I leave this report to your table dad, Professor Yasmeen wanted me to complete it and submitted to her”

“Uh…just leave it here then, come on I’ll sent you”

“Okay”

We head out from UCLA and head straight to Hollywood. Where Madame Luca is there in her studio. The dress she asked me to wear is really a beautiful dress. Posing as a model, only then I met an actress she is the same age as me.

“Hey Nat!! Wow you look stunning!!”

“Uh..thanks…but what are you doing here….Jada…?”

“Well the director asked me to find a dress for my next shooting, hey Nat!! Would you like to be an actress?” Uh..something that I rather avoid because its not my best skill. Madame Luca asked me to be on the runway for a fashion show.

“Senorita!! Could you be our runway model for the next fashion show next week because our usual model is on leave for her honey moon with her husband” her husband is an American Basketball player for the LA Clippers.

“But I’m shorter than her, would that be problem later on”

“Silly senorita!! You are perfect for it!!”

“Okay I’ll join!!” At least its something that I’m good at.

“Oh Senorita, i saw your design, could you improved on the collar side because its almost perfect. We making a dress for Lord Newman’s youngest daughter Victoria in Malaysia.” Huh!? What’s that supposed to mean..!?

“uh..madame?”

“Yes senorita?”

“May I know for what occasion?”

“Oh!! Because her daughter is in love with someone there and wanted to have a special dinner there!!”

“ooo must be a really some guy it is” Dad is really spontaneous with his words.

“Yes, if not mistaken Lord Newman said the boys name is Alex…or something like that”

“HAH!!”🤯 Now I’m really shock to hear that to make a dress for my Alex to date someone else. My hands is trembling and dad is trying to calm me down.

“Nat calm down…I believed that must be a reason for this….” I started to shed my tears, I could not hold and I cried

“WAA!!!!😭 That’s my boyfriend!!!💢 Why’s everyone is taking him!!! WA!!!” Everyone is surprised by this

“Goodness senorita!! What is going on?”

“uh….that guy you said Alex is her boyfriend” dad

“Goodness….never knew that oh goodness”

Jada is comforting me

“Hang on babe, I never knew you have a boyfriend?” That hurts a lot you know at least your boyfriend is close-by

“Waaa!!!😭 dad just get me flight ticket I need to put him on a leash!! Wa!!!!”

Dad panicked and asked Madame for a phone

“Well for international line is there”

“Yeah, her own best friend is there Mariam”

“Mariam the young prodigy dancer!!? Wow!!”

Dad took the phone and he called someone

“Mar I really need your help, yeah she is here, she is crying like a baby now…”

“Hey!! What you doing, you suppose to do your job!!” Mariam is lecturing me

“uh…Mar…what is going now?”

“Huh?!”

“You know that I making a dress for Priscilla…”
“uh😓 you kidding me right babe?”

“You think I’m kidding now…wa!!!!!😭”

“Hey!! Stop crying will ya geez now I’m going to kick his ass now for making my best here crying, just tell me what’s going on?”

“I going to make a dress for Lord Newman’s daughter”

“uh…okay, okay now I understand, Babe!! Is my open house, I’m pretty sure is just her dad getting excited for the party. Your boyfriend there is avoiding all of this right now. Wait up…” I just heard a loud commotion from there and its Alex!? What is going on? I could hear Alex is talking to Mariam

“What’s that for bitch!!”

“Thats for making my best friend cried!!”

“Huh!? Hey!! What the hell!!?”

“uh.. honey don’t just roundhouse kick him you know…”

“Hmmm!! You girl here is making a dress for Priscilla because she taught that you dated her later on”

“OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!! LIKE I SAID NO ONE IS DATING ME NOW!!! THAT CRAZY LORD WHEN TILL I GET MY HANDS ON HIM!!”

“See, your boyfriend now is going to beat him down”

‘HAH!😨 don’t tell that Alex is in your house?”

“Now what babe?”

“WAAA!!!!! Now he is in your house!!!”

“BABE!!! CALM DOWN WILL YA!! HEY STUPID!!! COME”RE YOUR GIRL IS NOW CRYING!!”

“HUH!!! Wha…wait….is that NAT?”

“kukuku yes it is…”

“Shit wait up”

“Nat?”

“Babe…uh…”
“why you crying?”

“You dating her?”

“wha…? Where the hell I agreed to that no Nat…”

“Really..”

“yeah…you better calm yourself, what are you doing now?”

“In Madame Luca’s studio”

“And you having a tantrum now…Nat how about this, Mar will make sure I will not get into girl trouble got it”

“Uh..”

“Just do it okay…uh….that Lord Newman….I never agreed to this…”

“Is Victoria is really close to you?”

“uh…just a friend, a friend got it…”

“uh..ummm…then I trust you on this…”

“uh yeah…right Mar?”

“Yeah!! What you want me to make up for it?”

“Put him on a leash for me”

“kukuku…got it….hear that bro…”

“Uh….well better than nothing…”

“Then babe, you better get your game face on, and get that shit done got it!!”

“Uh…okay…”

“Babe…?”

“Yeah”

“Miss ya…”

“uh…”

She hung up and I wipe my face and look at Madame Luca

“Sorry for that, I’ll do it…getting the job done, I’m going to make it the best dress”

“hah…lucky Alex is there as well”

“emm…so long Mar is there I’m happy…”

“Anyway señorita i really wanted to know your boyfriend looks like”

I showed her my latest picture from Mariam that she took in secret, riding his bike.

“Goodness señorita , he is good looking.”

“whoa…he looks cute, cuter than my boyfriend…” my pride and joy.

“He’s taller now, and he’s a basketball captain for the school.”

“Wow he look tall riding a bike like that…”
“Mar told me he is 5’8”

“Wow he is even taller than you now…”

“uh…” yeah I had an inferiority complex now because Alex is now even good looking compare when I meet him before.

“Well then let us begin the final design for the dress”

“Okay Madame” I begin to revise the design looking for ways for Victoria because she is a tall girl. Once I found out the perfect look for her based on her picture, damn she is beautiful. Cuter than me. Madame is satisfied with the design and started to make the dress. She showed me the sewing and cutting method from the materials that needed. Once done, one of the maids arrived and take then clothes. I wonder what kind of flight that could reach there in time. And one of the maids explain

“We asked the royal airforce to sent it to the nearest airbases. Well thank you for your help” they take the dress and leave the studio. While me and dad return back to UCLA. Now is my routine as a student and research assistant. At least I’m happy that Mar is with Alex because now I could focus my studies.

I really hope that I had powers to put him on a leash….
