Excerpt
“The morning air smelled like rain and sausage rolls. Victoria
smiled to the new day. Her new home, a small and comfy flat, possessed a charm.
The only drawback, or an advantage, was the flat was on the top floor, over a
bakery, and the appetizing aroma filled the space every day. Her stomach growled; time for breakfast.
The new job had paid off well. She finally managed to wriggle out
of that awful shared house, and even the smell of the pastries couldn’t
downcast the fact. She felt alive. Every day was better than the other, and the
job as a front office assistant had brought her satisfaction. Sometimes she
couldn’t believe her luck. True, she had
fought hard, but there were some days when life felt unreal. In six months, her
status, predicament, and even she, had changed completely.
She went to work that day without suspecting that her life would
change inevitably. She felt the strange aura with the first steps she made into
the spacious lobby. It was quiet, too quiet for a hotel in central London at 8:00
p.m. Two of her colleagues at the front desk whispered lively.
Stacy noticed her first and
impatiently waved her hand. “You won’t believe it,” she said in a hushed voice.
Her eyes burned, and her cheeks flushed. “We’ll have a VIP guest. He should
arrive before midnight. Imagine!”
“Who is he?” Victoria interrupted impatiently. The only thought on
her mind was the immense pressure and expectations that a “very important
person” would bring to the staff. And besides, she never understood the
hysteria surrounding the rich and famous. In her mind, they were all just
humans.
“Ian Young,” came Stacy’s squeaky answer.
“Who?” Victoria lifted her brows questioningly.
Her colleague looked dumbfounded. “You don’t know who he is!” Her
tone raised a notch. She looked at her as if Victoria just killed someone, or
at least stole her favorite curling iron.
Victoria’s amused smile turned into a frown while she wondered how
anyone could be so shallow. Stacy would never win any kind of “bright mind”
award, true, but to Victoria, her life was only Friday night parties, boys, and
celebrity gossip. She waited patiently but wasn’t prepared for the answer.
“Born 1986, New Orleans, one sister. He started his career as a model
at sixteen; first movie—Broken Stars—wasn’t a success. He’s most known for his
lead in Lost Souls. One of Hollywood’s rising stars. Extremely good-looking,
no, gorgeous, amazing blue eyes, dark hair, single . . .”
Victoria couldn’t help it. She laughed out loud. “That sounded
like a part of Wikipedia. My God, you’re Stacypedia! Don’t tell me you’re
obsessed with him, please,” she said seriously.
“No,” Stacy sighed, “but he is so gorgeous I couldn’t help it. Let
me show you a picture!” She typed a few words in the search engine on the
computer and clicked on images. Ian Young was pretty, no doubt, and six foot
tall with dark, almost black, messy hair and extraordinary blue eyes. The depth
of their color was hypnotizing.”
About the Author:Selina Bodur was born and raised in Bulgaria, but currently she lives in the UK. Over thirty, dark-haired, and a little overweight ordinary woman, that’s her. She was constantly in the search of who she wants to be - learning to play an accordion, singing, and painting. But becoming a writer was always a childhood dream of hers. Even when she was very young her imagination had been running wild. Selina preferred to create worlds instead to live in the real one. As a teenager she ventured into poetry, and published few of her poems and couple of short stories. She loved to pour her heart out on the pages, covered in tears. She had to grow up and pushed her writing dream in the deepest and dustiest corner of her mind.
After years spent in searching for the right carrier and blindly jumping from hotel management to waiting on tables she ended up in the Car Valet and Cleaning Business, 3000 kilometers away from her home country Bulgaria. On the bright side, one thing had been born from the lack of social life, the homesickness, and the many hours spent in front of the computer—she began writing again.
In 2013 she released her debut novella “Fighting the Impossible”, followed by the poetry collection “The Death of the Rose”. “Be With Me” series is her next project, and the first installment “Madness or Love” will be out in October 2014.
She still dreams of becoming a full time writer.
