Just What I Needed

Just What I Needed (19)

Picture on the side is for Marissa James :) ---------------------->

Sighing, Keely picked up her purse, she'd just gone to see Andy again, and the appointment was finally over. She did like clothes, just not that much.

Walking out, Keely saw a gorgeous girl in the foyer.

She had great big black curls to the middle of her back, her hair was longer than Keely's. She had bright baby blue eyes rimmed with dark lashes and flawless glowing skin, with just a tinge of rose on the cheeks.

"Rachel Gosling," Keely murmured. Here was Seth's girlfriend, and Keely was going to avoid her. She had no reason to talk to the girl, plus she kind of felt bad for her. Keely knew very well that Seth had the reputation in the music business of a guy who went through girls quicker than a person could blink. Her really did have the whole bad boy thing going on for him with the drinking, fighting, getting arrested and the girls. So, yes, she wasn't going to talk to the girl.

Or at least try.

"I know you!" Rachel exclaimed, grabbing Keely's hands between hers.

"You do?" she said hesitantly.

"Yeah," her voice was unashamedly excited. "You're going on tour with my boyfriend. You're Keely Staub."

"And you're Rachel Gosling," she smiled. It was difficult not to respond kindly to the girl, she just looked so excited and happy.

"I really wanted to meet you," she smiled broadly. "I'm friends with Marissa and Jennifer too, and they said such good things about you." Keely couldn't help but feel thankful that she hadn't so far heard anything about her from Seth. "I feel like I know you already."

"Oh, thanks," she was becoming uncomfortably aware that the girl still hadn't let go of her hands.

"We've got to go shopping together," she gushed. "I mean, you're practically going to be like my boyfriend's wife over the tour, I can use you to spy on him!" Rachael laughed. "Here give me your number."

Not seeing anyway out of it, Keely recited her number.

It wasn't as if she had anything against Miss Rachel Gosling, in fact her music was okay, always honest though not always sweet or bitter, it wasn't great but it was better than Marissa or the boy's music... so far. But she had a feeling that if she hung out with Rachel too much, she would be spending the time avoiding questions about someone who was like Taylor's male alias in New York.

"What are you doing here?" Seth asked rudely, coming up behind Rachael, and wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"Ever try not wearing the sunglasses?" Keely said nastily.

Surprised, Rachel looked up between them. "Okay," she said slowly. Keely looked closely at her, seeing what her reaction to the rudeness that had erupted in front of her, but she almost looked... satisfied?

"I'm going to go try this on," Rachel lifted up her arm that had a dress draped over it, tapping Seth on the chest. "Play nice while I'm gone."

Barely waiting until Rachel left, Seth glared down at Keely.

"What's with you?"

"What's your problem?" Keely retaliated, rubbing her temple in a circular motion against the head ache that was starting, it wasn't the best time to get in a fight.

"Why are you insisting on trying to get in every part of my life? You become friends with my best friends, I have to help you with your music, you have to get yourself on tour with me, and now you're trying to become friends with my girlfriend. Why are you so desperate?"
