2 weeks before
I had been in this world for several days now. I liked this world but I felt that something missing because my heart was empty, so empty that even putting the whole earth in it would have served no purpose.
I hear the sound of birds chirping. I don't want to get up, I just want to continue sleeping.
I feel like I always have to be perfect. Not having the right to be lazy. Luckily I wasn't one to follow what I was told to do.
So I continue to sleep, too exhausted from my busy modeling days.
Bip bip bip
I decide not to answer but the ringtone continues to ring. So I get up from my bed annoyed.
I pick up my phone from my bedside table and answer it.
-Hello ?
-Daisy I hope you are ready?, Betty asks me on the other end of the device
-Why?, I asked him, yawning.
-I'll arrive at your house in 15-20 minutes, she told me
-Are you going to come to my house at 7:30?, I replied astonished
-I think you forgot how long it will take us to travel there, Betty replied helplessly.
-But the journey time is only 30 minutes and at the latest if there are traffic jams 45 minutes, I replied with a frown.
-It's true but you also have to take into account the preparation time, i.e. makeup, clothes, shoes and accessories. And you know very well that the Fiona brand only does all this on the same day, she said to me, speaking quickly, a sign of obvious stress.
-I understand, I'm getting ready right away, I replied, rolling my eyes to the sky.
-You better be ready, Betty threatened me before hanging up
I sigh before throwing my phone on my bed and heading to my bathroom. No time to hang around, I had to get ready as quickly as possible.
I brush my teeth then I do my facials. Then I quickly go take a cold shower to wake up. Once my shower is finished, I put on some cream then get dressed. I put on a little perfume before leaving my bathroom.
Urge Urge
I run into the room to get my socks, putting them on as quickly as possible.
Urge Urge
-I'm coming, I shouted from my room
I rush out of my room, down the stairs before going to open the door.
-It took you a while, Betty said to me as she entered, but the main thing is that you opened the door for me
-Do you want breakfast?, I offered him
-I already brought breakfast, Betty told me
-Ah well, why don't I see him?, I asked him in surprise
-It's in the car so put on your shoes, we're going now, Betty told me, smiling amusedly
I think his stress was coming down.
-My adorable friend stop panicking all the time, I said to him as I put on my shoes.
-You're right, but it's a little flaw that won't go away, she said to me, shrugging her shoulders.
-It's not that serious and it's even a little cute, I reassured her
Once I have my shoes on, we leave my house. I lock my front door and then we head out to his car. We enter then she starts towards my photo shoot.
-I took your favorite smoothie, it's in the white bag, Betty told me
-Oh thank you again, it's so cute, I said to him very happy
-You're welcome, Betty replies amusedly
I take her in my arms.
-Hey darling, I'm driving slowly, Betty laughs
-Oops, I forgot!, I replied, returning to my seat
-Every day the same sentence, Betty replied to me, mocking
-Anything!, I defended myself with pouting cheeks
-Yesterday you answered me the same, Betty told me, teasing me with a smirk, you really have the memory of a goldfish
I decide to drink my smoothie while sulking. 25 minutes later we had arrived at Fiona's fashion company.
-Come on, let's go!, Betty told me full of energy
-First you eat and then we leave,
-No need, said Betty in a hurry.
-Betty don't make me repeat it, I threatened her
-Ok ok I'm going to eat a little bit, she said
She took a croissant she had bought and nibbled on it quickly.
-Is that good?, asked Betty, rolling her eyes
I nod then we both get out of the car. We walk towards the building which is truly incredible. I don't know how the architect went about creating this F-shaped building.
-It's a company that has been working in the fashion world for decades and believe me they have seen models pass by. If they chose you today it's because they saw that you had something more that naturally attracts attention to you, Betty explained to me patiently.
-And what is this extra thing?, I asked him curiously
-A unique charm, Betty replied with a smirk.
Arriving in front of the company we enter. The director quickly approached us and took us to the location where the shoot would take place. He explains the history around the construction of this building and the history of their fashion business.
The building was so big that I had only visited a quarter of it.
-It's time to prepare for the shoot so I'm going to take you there, the director told us
He takes us to a discreet elevator, the three of us enter and the doors close. He presses the locker room button and the elevator goes up at full speed.
Cling
The doors open and we all get out. We arrive at a high floor then follow the director along the corridor. He stops in front of a door that I assume is the locker room.
He opens the door and I take a deep breath, it was going to be long and I had to be mentally prepared.
6 hours later
I finally sigh with relief. I was done with all that and with his aches too.
-You can keep the clothes, he gives them to you, Betty told me, happy that the work is finished
-They are really nice, I replied, smiling.
-They told me that you really liked the outfit so they wanted to thank you for accepting their invitation for the shoot, she said, proud of me
-It's me who should thank them for thinking of me, I replied lost in my thoughts
-If you think back to previous years when you declined their invitation, know that they don't blame you at all, Betty told me in a reassuring tone.
I smiled at her because she told me.
-If I were a man, I would have already married you, Betty said suddenly, blushing.
I laughed amused by what she had told me.
-Shall we get something to eat?, I suggested to him
She nods vigorously. So I look on my phone at a small restaurant near here.
We walk since the restaurant is really just 5 minutes from here. We arrive in front of a very pretty little restaurant then we enter. We order something to eat and then we go and grab a seat in the restaurant. We go through the tables to choose the right table.
I feel her take my arm and quickly move towards a table.
-Hayden!, Betty exclaims happily
We arrive at his table and he is sitting across from a man. He didn't seem like a nice person and those tattoos along his arms made him look dangerous.
And when his gaze met mine, I had the presentiment that nothing would ever be the same again.
