Beautiful Stranger

The single life was great as Becky knew all too well. Applying her mascara on a Friday night had become a ritual. She heard her flatmate shouting her name as she applied the last cote.

"Almost done!" Becky yelled. She took one last look in the mirror and decided she liked the reflection staring back at her. Her long red hair was sleek and straight, she had persuaded Carly to do her hair in a new style. She grabbed her purse and followed Carly out of the front door of their apartment.

They clambered into a taxi and it set off for a club on Sunset Boulevard. The passed many famous Hollywood landmarks. This what Becky loved most about living in L.A, taking photographs and drawing pictures was her life, selling them was the harder part. The taxi stopped and they climbed out, Carly paid the driver then slid her arm into Becky's, "Oh how I love being single,".

Becky laughed, "Come on Carl, let's go get them,". The 2 girls walked through the club's doors.

Becky & Carly made their way towards the bar. It was a bohemian type place, there were a few snooker tables scattered around and Becky recognised a few paintings that were placed on the wall behind the bar. A small stage caught Becky's eye, a very attractive man was playing guitar with a band. She recognised him but wasn't sure if she believed it.

"Earth to Becky,". Carly snapped her fingers in Becky's face.

Becky tore her eyes away from the attractive man, "Red wine yum, cheers Carly,".

Carly rolled her eyes. She knew why Becky had been daydreaming, a man.

The attractive man onstage lifted his sunglasses up and winked at Becky, she flushed and returned with her most glamorous smile. He put his hand to his heart as the song finished. Everyone in the club whooped and clapped.

"You know who you just smiled at don't you,". Carly handed Becky a glass. "That's Johnny Depp,".

Becky choked on her wine "Really? Oh my gosh. I thought I recognised him but couldn't quite believe it,".

"Recognised who?" A deep, sexy voice asked from behind her.

Becky turned around and was face to face with the most beautiful man she'd ever seen, he removed his sunglasses and his brown eyes stared deep into her blue ones which caused her shiver. His brown hair hung loosely around his shoulders, his knife-blade cheekbones became more profound as he smiled at her.

"Uh you,". Beck stuttered nervously, flushing a deep shade of magenta.

Johnny laughed then turned to Carly, "Is it ok if I borrow your friend?"

Carly who had seen many celebrities, was good at keeping her cool "Sure,".

"Thank you,". Johnny stuck out his hand gratefully "Just call me Johnny,".

"I'm Carly,". Carly could feel her heart beat faster, his hands felt strong & fleshy, she didn't want to let go.

"Come with me,". Johnny whispered in Becky's ear. His hand slid into hers and with her free one, she waved goodbye to Carly.

"Where are we going?" Becky asked, she couldn't stop staring at his beautiful face, she wondered what it would feel like to have her lips locked with his.
