Thread: The Road To Fame (Sumi & Mr Quixotic)

It wasn't so much for the beauty of expressing her feelings through songs as much as it was for the attention she would get from it that she loved her talent. There was no doubt that Karmen loved being in the spotlight, her heart aching for the fame she was so certain that she deserved ever since she had gotten a proposal to get to Vegas. It wasn't exactly the same with going to Hollywood, but she figured it was a good start to make herself known in the music industry. Perhaps even make some cash, enough to live a much more luxurious lifestyle than what she had before. Obviously, being able to play with the mens minds whenever shed be on the stage was like a very much welcomed bonus. It made up for the failures of her past back in her little hometown. Everything, in fact, was fueled by various events, from her goal to become a big name to her constant need of appraisal from men. There was no tragic or out of ordinary backstory to her, but she was simply a product of what some common disappointments could do to ones mind. Right now, this looked like the start of a change, the good kind of change that she had waited for so long. She had a good looking man in front of her, and from his responses to her flirty gestures, she could bet on anything that she had him hooked on her already. She couldnt have even asked for a better ticket towards her goals. If things worked well, she could already imagine herself attending high class parties, wearing the most expensive jewelries and clothing, all by the side of one or maybe more - handsome man. The only thing she couldnt be fully certain yet, was if this man, who was giving her the charming smiles and the kind of stares that made her think he was mentally undressing her, would be the one shed keep by her side even after shed reach Vegas. Then again, she guessed there was the other way too. What if he didnt want her for more than just a short fling and would simply dump her on the way there? No, but she wouldnt allow this. Not a second time. The sarcasm she had been greeted with as she took the liberty to sit down at his table brought a curl to her lips. For some reason she had a feeling that this one would be fun to socialize with, unlike the other times when men would try to get on her good side with politeness. Well, that would only make her evening even better, seeing how it had been a good while since she last had a conversation that didnt consist of silly innocent compliments and stupid questions. Unlike what would normally happen in such a situation, Karmen could only look him back in the eye with a smile that seemed to taunt and flirt at the same time, after he had gotten a good glance at her legs. Was it also your momma, or was it your father that taught you to leer at women like that? she returned the tease and gave a quick nod to ol Bob when he brought her a dirty martini. He already knew what was her preference after having had her working here for several weeks. A chuckle escaped her lips when he started talking about his ex, but her attention was shortly caught by something else as he mentioned the one word that she wanted to hear. Vegas . After a sip of her drink, she also leaned in a little bit more, crossing both of her arms on the table, snuggly under her generous chest, of course, only to show her interest . She was about to say something, but before she could, he seemed to have read her mind, asking the right thing. Youre quite right. In fact, ol man over there staring at us is my brother who will most likely wring your neck as soon as youre out of this place. she pointed out to a random man at the other table, before cracking another smile. I come from a modest city in Utah. The funny coincidence is that I was also headed to Vegas, but the one who was supposed to take me there decided to take all of my savings and dump my ass here, in the middle of nowhere. she explained and placed her hand over his, nearly having forgotten how it was like to be treated like a lady after being surrounded by farmers for so many weeks. A pleasure to meet you, Duke. My names Karmen. she briefly introduced herself. What did you think of my performance, Duke? Did you enjoy the show tonight? she suddenly questioned to keep the conversation flowing and to possibly incite some interesting answer from him.
