Chapter 9
What the others didn't know, except for Justin. Mercedes, Kayla and Christina got a
reputation, inside close door, as "The Game". The game of seduction, temptation
and heart breaks. Just a simple glance with their alluring eyes, a gentle touch
or a lick of their luscious lips, could make any man fell on their knees for
them. Only using men for their own pleasure and went the feelings were getting
serious, they dumped them like yesterday garbage.
Not so "Angelic" anymore, isn't it? All started with 3 men whom they loved and
adored so much. They knew there would be a future. But one by one, left them
without a word, leaving them only with a broken heart, got stab on the back. As
time passed by, they were about to go back into the dating scene, but one girl
got play. He wowed her off her feet, making him the only perfect man, her Savior
in her eyes. But after one night of body-bonding, she never heard from him ever
again. Justin almost blew up the roof and almost went to the vicious demon's
place to give him a beating of a lifetime. Since that day, he had became very
protective of them. A guardian of their feelings. They swore among themselves
that they would never trusted a man, except for Justin, the rest of *NSYNC
members, Elijah and Seann. As for the others, they were merely excuse as a
little play toys. Even if Justin wanted to present them a couple of guys, to
give them a view of guys, they only do what they were best at 'playing mind
games with their victims'.
Once the girls arrived to their spots, they immediately holler up. Kayla and
Mercedes were mixing up drinks to their customers, while Christina was babbling
about her day. Mercedes were making a 'come closer' sign to 2 securities
guards, since at the bar, there was a long of commotions that could go wrong.
"Anyways, Mercedes� you had miss the little performance that our little Kayla did with
the fabulous Paul Walker� She got herself a new pray.", Christina said while
looking evilly.
"Already?" Mercedes looked in shock. "It's been how long? 2 weeks?"
"He was like a little lost dog. You tell him to sit and he'll sit!"
"Yeah, and you know what's weird? He's your all time favorite actor!"
"Yeah and? He might be my favorite actor, but don't let him fool you. He's just
another guy to fuck with." Mercedes began to laugh. "I'm telling you!"
Christina only looked with amusement. "And now, what's the deal with that Orlando Bloom
guy? The way he was looking at you, he was basically undressing you with his
eyes. And you were doing the same thing�"
"You know I don't like to chase Christ. But I doubt he would even make a move, since
he was too busy doing a battle with his conscious or something like that�"
"How do you know?" Kayla got caught off a little, as she handled a drink to a hot
client. "Thank you sir! Have a nice time!" He smiled and gave her, her tip.
"Wow! A big $20 for me!"
"If you're not happy with it, just give it too me!"
"Hey Mercedes! Don't you even dare to change the subject. Now, what's the go?"
Mercedes looked at Kayla a bitch face, which Christina and her were used to
seeing. Mercedes took a deep breath and threw her rag on a basket, beneath the
counter.
"Dude I think I'm losing my touch! I haven't been playing the Game for almost 6
months and you know how I've been acting towards Orlando for almost 20 minutes,
but he didn't do one heck thing!"
"Hey! He might not doing anything at the moment, but I saw the way he was looking at
you and I bet you $100, that you guys will be bumping and grinning on the
middle of the dance floor." Christina smiled with a total confidence. "Also I
don't need to bet on Kayla, cause she'[ll get him into bed in less than a week!"
"A bet, huh?" Mercedes began to see an advantage right about now. Half-smiled, she
licked her lips and whispered softly. "You know I couldn't turn down a
challenge�"
"Fine Mercedes!" Christina said. "I bet you 2000$ that could get him into bed in
less than a month."
"Fuck you Christina!" Mercedes laughed. "Anyways, like I said I doubt it would do
something. Elijah told me something �"
Before she could finished her sentence, Justin's figure jumped out of nowhere, almost
giving the girls a panic attack. Kayla was catching her breath, while Christina
just hit his arm. Mercedes turned around and looked at him, from the look of
his eyes, he seemed really angry and yet piss off.
"Kayla! Mercedes! Don't you girls even DARE doing this!" He growled.
"What?", they all said in a unison.
"You know what I'm talking about! That thing that you're calling 'The Game'!"
The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do or say, since they knew that
Justin knew them way too well. He could read them like a book from a distant
mile. He always knew how their plans work, since he was the only guy who knew
about it and kept his mouth shut, even if he didn't like the idea. The rest of
the guys didn't know, since they looked so perfectly innocent into their eyes,
that was because the girls never dared to do it to them. In Justin's eyes, they
were angels who deserved everything, but at the same time, he saw evil.
"I'm tired that you girls are doing this to yourselves and to the guys. I know that
you don't trust them like you trust me. But you have to open your eyes and
realized that ALL of them are not like that. I had fought so hard to find
someone whom you could related to, but you all flushed them down. Do you have
any idea how are it was to find your favorites actors, Kayla? Mercedes? I want
you girls to be so happy, that I even went out in search and became friends
with them so YOU two could meet them! And if God forbid, but I swear to you
that I would wreck your necks out if you mess this one up!"
Justin was almost screaming at them. He knew that Kayla and Mercedes could be worst
than Christina at the game play. Christina had tone down a little since, she
lived in the spotlight, she didn't want any more rumors spreading around. All
looked at him, still don't know what to say. Mercedes just looked at him,
staring at him, like a hawk waiting on its pray. She didn't show any sign of
fear, pain or guilt.
"With Paul and Kayla, things will be running smoothly. But in my situation," Mercedes
leaned forwards to Justin's face, close enough like they were about to kiss.
"it is already mess up as it is. If you wanted me to hook up with Orlando
Bloom, you should make your little research a little bit longer and further�"
"What do you mean Mercedes?" Justin seemed confused about the situation. He didn't
lost his gazed on her, while she was speaking to him with a dark, yet husky and
seductive voice.
"Oh it seemed that you didn't know yourself, love�" Mercedes only replied as she
moved away from Justin's face, grabbing a clean rag.
"Know what? Come on M! I'm not into the mood of your little game."
Kayla and Christina looked at the two like they were fighting like a marry couple.
None of them didn't know what to say, since they were more intrigue about what
Mercedes knew about and not them.
"So I heard that you didn't know from Elijah either�" Mercedes raised an eyebrow.
Justin was getting a little tired from Mercedes' act. It was an act, which was
mysterious, interesting, but yet, irritating. "Just tell me, Mercedes�"
She stopped cleaning the glass, and looked at him. "Your dear friend, Orlando Bloom
has a girlfriend. And you know who she is? Is Kate. Her name is Kate Bosworth.
The one who played the main character in 'Blue Crush'. They had been together
since January, after meeting each other at 'The Two Towers' premiere, right
here in Los Angeles. You were there, remember? Beside the fact that he was
doing a movie here, but he was also with his girlfriend who lives here. She
even went to the Caribbean while he was shooting the 'Pirates' there. He gave
her a gold bracelet as a sign of his love for her."
She paused for a moment as she taking small breath between her teeth. Justin knew
how much she adored Orlando, but from the look of her face, she was in pain,
anger. The same look that she had when the man played her. A face that he
wished he would never had to witness again.
"If you know me so much Justin. Yes, I played the game and I'm the Player. I'm a tease. People
might takes me as a bitch or slut, what ever you call it. But I am surely NOT a
slut and the kind of person to ruin a relation. If he lead me on, then I'll
might do something and it will be his own fault. Might, do something and send
it to Kate, to show her what her man did and how they could a worthless
creature. But"
Justin's, Kayla's and Christina's eyes were wide open. Totally taken by the shock,
because no one, not even Elijah or Dominic had mentioned it to them� only to
Mercedes, the other night� because they knew how she felt towards him�
"And by the way Justin, my dear brother� Orlando's picture as the 'Perfect Boyfriend'. Willing
to do ANYTHING for the one he loves. And of course, from what I heard from Dom and Elijah. NEVER he would
leave his 'perfect' girlfriend for someone like me 'A tease-player-party girl�"
