Rehearsal (2)

"Sure Jian, did you meet the person your paired with?" Ophelia asked as she glanced at the papers in the document. Jian nodded asking, "I scanned it, his name was Ethan, is he here?"

Ophelia nodded saying, "He is going to be a little late, you see Ethan is my nephew and he's got a doctor's visit today, but don't worry he is a good model, so I am sure you'll be in good hands."

Jian smiled saying, "That's alright." Ophelia nodded as she walked away and into the rehearsal room. Jian sighed saying, "John I am getting a little nervous." He looked down and smiled reaching for her hand saying, "You'll do great, plus it's only rehearsals, why don't we go sit down?"

She nodded as they walked inside, and Jian smiled as she watched the layout of the runway. It started from a flight of stairs that was followed by a straight pathway towards a circular end and back to another flight of stairs. It was a simple design but with the right decor plus an outdoor setting everything would be great.

"How are you feeling now?" John asked as they sat down and Jian smiled saying, "Less nervous and more excited." He smiled as they talked about the lineup of models and soon Jian got up to walk with the others.

He waited for her taking her pictures when she walked by and soon rehearsal ended. It was hectic to start as most people weren't there but once everyone got the flow path. They played the music, which helped the models get into a similar tempo to one another making their pace uniformed.

"Once again, I am really sorry for being late," Ethan said as he and Jian walked towards John. Jian shook her head saying, "No, I understand plus Miss Ophelia was right, you are a great model, thanks to you I didn't trip at the end."

He nodded turning towards John introducing himself saying, "Ethan, nice to meet you." John nodded replying, "Johnny," he turned to Jian continuing, "Shall we head home?" She nodded turning towards Ethan biding him goodbye before the two left.

"John is something bothering you?" Jian asked and he sighed saying, "I guess I am a little upset because," he paused he couldn't get the words out and Jian glanced at him finishing his sentence asking, "of Ethan being near me?"

His expression softened and he nodded as Jian smiled gently saying, "It's alright to be jealous, or upset since you are-" she paused not wanting to finish that sentence instead saying, "someone who cares for me a lot." John smiled glancing at her as she looked out the window trying to hide the light blush on her face.

"I do care for you, my lady, now what are your plans for the rest of the day?" Johnny asked as he pulled into the parking lot. Jian sighed saying, "I need to finish the last few edges of the white wind dress, and then I plan to work on the pattern for the other dresses."

John nodded asking, "How can I help then?" She smiled as he parked the car saying, "Cleaning, my room's really messy plus you probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else."
