Against All Odds
Part 12

(Three days later after concert)

Beep Beep.. That was the sound that made me awake from my sweety dream. I was so angry while goin to 
check the text message. Who could it be? I opened the SMS and I read: 
'Your performance was perfect. No doubt you're one of the greatest stars. Love...' 

Who was this?? Who was this?? 

I didnt wanna reply this message cuz i didnt know bout the sender but after then, the same number called 
me. The phone was ringin in my hands and the voice inside said to me to reply it. And I replied but didnt 
say anythin, only expected the caller to talk. And he did. 
'Hello Charlotte! When u didnt reply my text, I realised that I had forgotten to rite who I was. I'm Duncan.' 
There was no need to say who he was. As soon as I heard his voice, I'd already realised who he was. I was 
shocked! I was bout to faint! Maybe bout to die!! 
'Aww, hello Duncan' I said with a vague voice. I was tryin not to show how excited I was. 
'Hello, hello!! So wont you say anythin bout the concert?' 
'Ermm... Yes.. I will. First, thank you for your compliments. I didnt know you watched my performance.' 
'Actually I never intented to do that but upon your favor, I told my myself that it'd be perfect to watch 
you and it was really perfect!' 
'So you didnt regret?' Now, I was talkin to him easily cuz I exceeded the first shock. 
'Of course I didnt. You were like a queen in the stage and your fans really love you - I saw that.' 
'So do your fans! I could see that they adored you.' 
He smiled modestly. And then he said 
'Look Charlotte, I will go to Italy to give another concert. B4 this, I wanna meet you. Is it OK wit u?' 
OMG..... OMG....... OMG................. 
'Yes, of course.' 
I was crazy to ask 'WHEN' but i tried not to look like I was already expectin 4this. 
'Aw, cool! Actually I was thinkin that you'd never accept this.' 
'Huh, why not?' 
'I dunno. Erm, OK.. Tomorrow is alright?' 
'Yes, perfect.' 
'And do you kno bout Blue Print Caf�?' 
'Yeah.' 
'OK. Now, if you gimme your address, I can pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow.' 
'OK. Do u have a pen with you?'' 
I told him my address. Actually, I never give my address to sbody so easily like that but Dunk gave me a 
confident. Now the only problem was what I'd wear for tomorrow nite. I dived into my gardrobe but it 
was like empty to me even though I had a lotta dresses. I thought the best way to go shoppin and buy 
new stuff. So I rang my manager and my best friend, Kelly. Told her everything and she was like OMG.. 
hehe. Me too!! 

So, afternoon we went shoppin and I bought three dresses. Kelly told me to wear the light purple one for 
tomorrow and I agreed wiv her. Kelly was a life-saver!! She said she'd bring the hairdresser to my home 
tomorrow afternoon. I kissed her on the cheek. We'd been workin for 6 years together and she always 
helped me. If I have a lotta fans today, and I succeed in everything, that's cuz of Kelly. 

That night, I couldnt sleep. I was thinkin bout why Dunk sent me that message and called me. We talked 
to each other only for one minute. But was there a posibility that he could love me? At least fancy me? 
Omg, I dunno. Sometimes I told myself not to get excited so quickly. Maybe he only wanted to talk to 
me. ONLY TALK!! But sometimes I told myself that maybe he could fancy me.. Omg.. I didnt know. 
And I had no other choice except waitin the right time.
