Generation 1, Chapter 2: Impulse


So hey, everything has been going great. I've made plenty of money with my Sing-A-Grams to be able to get a new dress and I've even made some good friends along the way. Will has finally gotten the message and he's dating a nice girl hes now living with. Or maybe they were living together before. I forget. I'm a little jealous though, wondering if I missed my chance with him. Oh well...there has to be someone out there for me right?

Well anyway, here I am at the park. I came early this morning to hang out a little and promote my show that was happening tonight. I was telling people about it and having a good time, but that never seems to last...



"You're nothing but a hussy!" And then I felt a woman's hand connect with my face.I was so taken back by the random attack that I didn't even defend myself.


"What the hell, lady? What was that all about? I don't even know you!" I yelled at her.

"Oh yes you do, you husband-stealing hussy!" She hissed at me. What in the world was she talking about? Husband stealing? I didn't even have a boyfriend!


"I caught you! I saw you leaving my house! Dressed in your skimpy 'performer' outfit!" Her voice was getting louder. Was she trying to ruin my chances for a good show tonight? I didn't want a rumor like this getting out. It could ruin me before I even got anywhere.

"Are you sure I wasn't just delivering him a Sing-A-Gram?" I yelled back.

"Oh I'm sure you were. Right in our bedroom!"


"Listen lady, I don't even know you or your husband. Are you sure you even have the right person?"

"You're that Lassy Lady right?"

"No! I'm Monica Luck. Get it straight before you walk up and slap someone. Besides, Lassy wears a wig."

"A wig? Her hair isn't really white?"

"No. I work with her. Take up your problems with her. Get lost."

"Oh..."

She seemed shocked. Seems if someone was sleeping with her husband, she better get her facts straight. Man, did she want to ruin my career? I knew Lassy was a little bit flirty, but I never knew she was that bad. Sleeping with customers? Of course she could just be giving them Sing-A-Grams and this woman was just trying to find a reason out of her marriage. Maybe she should take that up with her husband instead of slapping people who are minding their own business.


"I suppose I should go find this Hussy" She huffed and walked away.

I sighed, rubbing at my head. It was only 9am and this was how the day was going to go? I headed off to the changing booths. Maybe I could get some extra money on the side until it was showtime. My show wasn't until  7 and I had alot of time to kill.


Like my new outfit? I know I certainly do. It's sexier and much more attractive than that awful thing I used to wear. I even got approval from Maxi to wear this on my less frequent Sing-A-Gram runs. She doesn't have me delivering them as often which is super awesome. It gives me alot more time to focus on other things that will help my career push forward.


As I was singing, I noticed a most interesting customer. A man in a business suit. He was super attractive with dark hair, dark skin but light eyes. And look at that suit. He was looking at me with a particular expression his face. Thoughtful, deep.


He certainly was sexy. A slow smile came over his face and he winked at me. I swear my heart probably tried to leap out of my throat. I started to pack up my mic and other things so I could get ready to go on stage soon. It wasn't quite time but I wanted plenty of time to set up. He also made me nervous. He was so attractive, I couldn't focus. He slowly approached me as I set my things aside.


"So you're the beautiful Monica Luck. I've heard alot of things about you at work. One of my co-works knows Maxi and she has alot of good things to say about you." He grinned. "I'm sorry, where are my manners. I'm Leo Thatcher"


"Oh, um, yes. I am Monica Luck. I dunno about beautiful..." I twirled my short hair around my finger, shyly.

"No, no, you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. In fact, what would I have to do to get you to go on a date with me?"

"Oh I can't tonight!" I felt my entire face turn red at the thought of a date with this man. Was I dreaming? He certainly couldn't have interest in me. "I have my concert tonight...But maybe another night?" I asked hopefully.

"Oh, of course. I wouldn't expect any different." He gave me his charming smile once more.


My phone began to go off. "Oh shoot, its almost show time! I gotta go"

"It's okay. I'll be here watching" He winked at me once more. "Good luck."

"Um...Th-thank you!" I stuttered.


As I walked away, I felt his eyes on my back. He was really sexy and he had a gentleman's charm. Was it wrong for me to be crushing on a guy I knew nearly nothing about? Maybe. He also looked older than me. Quite a bit older. Maybe by ten years or so. Or maybe not. I was unsure. But he sure was successful looking. Nothing wrong with liking him, right? As long as I didn't act on impulse and do anything stupid...


As I preformed though, I couldn't help but think I was singing directly to Leo. He watched, captivated as I danced and sang. Every once in a while our eyes would meet. I would feel like I should mess up, break into shy jitters I always kept right on preforming. I would not allow him to mess up my show. It was my first one. I had to go big or go home.


It felt like I was singing forever, but after quite a few good songs, a few bad jokes and some loud cheers from my meager audience, I took a bow. I felt...accomplished. I felt good. I was getting somewhere. I wasn't a nobody anymore!


As I climbed off the stage, Leo approached and handed me some red roses.

"For you, m'lady, as a congratulations on such a wonderful performance"

I was shocked and happy. I smiled at him.

"Thanks! They're beautiful" I held them in my hands, careful with them.

"I'll see you tomorrow night, right? I'll pick you up after I get out of work" He winked at me and hurried off. I wondered if I should have told him I had Sing-A-Grams due tomorrow but oh well. I didn't think he'd mind if I showed up in my work dress. It is pretty sexy after all.


The next night he took me to one of the clubs, M8. It was a great place. He was all dressed up in his suit and I was in my dress. We had a hard time getting in because a few of my new fans had to stop us to get autographs and pictures. Leo seemed to puff with pride when we walked in, arm in arm.


First thing he wanted to do was get drinks. I waited, watching as he ordered them and finally grabbing the tray and bringing them over. I didn't ask what they were. I didn't even know if I should be drinking them. In fact, I had never drank a day in my life. I hoped they were light on the juice.


One sip and I knew they weren't. In fact, I knew I was going to get very, very juiced from this one drink. I  was such a lightweight.


With our drinks in hand, we began talking. It was simple enough. I asked him about his job and he was a CEO in a corporation started by his father. I told him about my upbringing in the orphanage. I told him about how mean the other kids had always been to me.


"I don't understand why they'd be so mean to such a beautiful woman" He purred at me. I looked into his sexy blue eyes and I knew I was losing touch with myself. It might have been the drink or the place where we were but I wanted to do something reckless.


I tossed my drink aside and kissed him. I kissed him like I had never kissed anyone before. He was shocked and I pulled away, wondering if I had just messed up. He was sending me signals right?


Oh yes he was. He kissed me back and it was amazing. I had never been kissed like this before.


Before I knew it, we were back at his place. Somehow I was in his bed and he was looking at me.. I had no idea what I was doing. What were doing? I heard him say something but it didn't seem to compute in my brain.


And then I didn't remember anything else...


And in the morning, I woke up in his bed. Horror washed over me. I suddenly remembered what we had done. I suddenly knew what I done. He was no where to be found. No note, nothing. What if he was done with me? Had I just ended my first chance at romance? What had I done?

Once again, thank you for reading. Tune in next chapter to see what happens! Have a good day!
