A/N. Hope you like my story! Okay, I want to clear some things up before you read. Alice's place is like an apartment. But alot nicer. If you've ever seen Gossip Girl, its like Blair's home. I will try to find some pictures of what some things would look, like some of the outfits, or houses, or some of the photoshoots. :)
Bella's POV
"Yes Bella!" called out Mark. "That's right! There you go! NO! NO! Stay there! Yeah... ok... good.... and... last frame!" Mark said as he pressed his finger down one more time, after one last flash, he lowered his camera.
"And you're done Bella! Good work! The camera absolutely loves you!" he said while he kissed both of my cheeks and gave me a quick hug before he wondered off around the set. Mark was one of the best photographers for 'Premonition' and one of my closest friends. We had just finished shooting a ten page spread for Glamour Magizine that will be featured in the April 2008 issue. Rosalie is at another photoshoot for billboards that will be advertising Alice's famous, brandname, women's clothing line. 'Premonition'.
Rosalie, Alice, and I have been bestfriends since freshman year of highschool. We lived in this small town called Forks located in Washington state. Forks was one of those towns where everyone knows everything about eachother, where it rains day and night, and especially where nothing exciting ever happens. So once we turned legal adults, we headed off to New York City and we changed our lives.
Alice became a high fashion designer. Rosalie and I are Alice's top models for her clothing. We do photoshoots and fashion shows. We have been Alice's models ever since the beginning of the company. Ever since our careers took off, our lives have changed tremendously. We're no longer those small town girls. We're now happy, successful women.
So I headed to the dressing rooms to change into my normal day clothes. When I entered the rooms, other models where getting dressed for the next shoot.
"Hey Bells!" Tanya greeted me. Tanya was one of the many models for Alice's clothing line and one of the very few friendly models Alice has.
"Tanya!" I replied.
"You did great today!" said Tanya as she gave me a hug.
"Thanks!" I said, "hey, I've got to go but we should go have lunch next week."
"That'd be great!" she said, "where are you going?"
"Alice's place, I told her that I'd come over after I was done here." I said lightly.
"Oh. Well I'll see you around. Bye Bella!" she said.
"Ok bye."
I finished changing and exited the studio. I walked to the curb of the street and called for a taxi. Once I was in the cab, I took out my phone and dialed Alice's number. It rang two times before Alice answered her phone.
"Hi Alice. I just wanted to tell you I just made it out of the studio and I am on my way to your place." I told her.
"Sounds great Bells, see ya soon then." she said.
"Alright, bye." I said before I hung up.
Rosalie's POV
Once I exited the studio, I decided that I would walk to Alice's since it was only a block away. When I got closer to her building, I noticed a taxi pull up in front of the building. I approached the building and saw the reflecton of who was stepping out of the taxi in the glass door and smiled. I turned around and there was my best friend, Bella, making her way to me. Bella had milk chocolate brown hair that was half-way down her back. She was wearing a light pink, chiffon sweater that hung off the shoulder. With some dark skinny jeans and ankle boots. She was also carrying a Gucci bag that complimented her outfit.
"New sunglasses?" I asked.
"Not really," Bella answered, "I just never really wore them." she shrugged. I chuckled and opened the door. We walked together to the elevator and talked about how both of our photoshoots went.
"Who was your photographer Rose?" she asked me.
"Ugh, it was that weird guy Mike that you had for the winter collection last year," I shuddered, "your right, he was a creep!"
She laughed and asked, "Did he ask for your shoe size like he did to me?"
Confusion washed over me and I asked curiously, "No he didn't. Why did he ask you that?"
Bella answered, "I have no clue why he did ask at the time but a week later he sent me a pair of Prada heels with a note that said 'If you give me what I want from you, there is alot more where this came from' and with his number on the back." I stared at her in disbelieve.
"That pervert... always thinking that you can buy a girl over." I muttered. Bella caught that and laughed.
We entered the elevator and Bella pushed the button for the 8th floor. It wasn't long until the elevator doors opened and we entered my other best friend's very well designed apartment.
"Ally?!" I called out.
"Be right there." Alice called back. We walked into her living room and made ourselves at home. A minture later, Alice came out from her office and greeted us.
"Hey ladies" she said with a smile. Alice had black, short cropped hair that spiked in different directions. She was wearing some Levi's slim jeans and a tight fitting yellow tanktop that scrunched up to show her country-inspired, beltbuckle.
"Hi Alice! How's the fall colection coming?" Bella asked.
Alice shrugged and headed for the coat closet, "I have something to show you guys later but for now," she pulled out her jacket then a grin crept onto her face, "let's go shopping!" she said enthusiastically. Bella and I looked at each other and raised an eyebrow, "Typical Alice" we both muttered at the same time while getting off the couch.
"HEY! THERE'S A REASON WHY I BECAME A FASHION DESIGNER!!!" she yelled with an annoyed tone. We laughed and grabbed our purses and strapped on our heels.
"So what's that thing you need to show us Al?" I asked with pure curiousity.
"It's a surprise." she said with a smirk.
"Why can't you just show us now since we are going to be gone for hours shopping since your with us?" whined Bella.
"Fine. But afterwards we are going to go shopping to celebrate!" Alice demanded.
"Okay. Now let us see!" I said with excitment. She turned around and led us to her design studio. Once we approached the double-doored entrace to the room,
Alice turned around with a twinkle in her eyes and said, "Cover your eyes!!" Bella looked at me and we laughed at Alice's child-like excitment. Alice glared at the two of us. We gave in and covered our eyes. I heard the 'swoosh' of the doors opening. Alice led both Bella and I into the room.
Bella's POV
"Okay, you can open your eyes now!" I can hear the smile in Alice's voice. I uncovered my eyes and looked around. This wasn't the same studio as I remembered from before. Before it was filled with designs on maniquins that I would be happy to wear anyday. But now, there were even more maniquins than before, and they were dressed in outfits that I would not enjoy wearing as much.
"Alice," I began, "why aren't their any pretty dresses on the maniquins?" I said in a worried tone.
"Why...why are you making us where... that?" Rosalie spat out.
"They aren't for you to wear! You guys are so silly!" Alice said through giggles.
"I am completely lost now..." I admitted after a moment.
"These clothes are for my fall collection but... it's not for my women's clothing line." Alice started, "I have decided to open up a men's clothing line also!!" she said with a grin and started jumping up and down, clapping her hands.
"OH MY GOODNESS! THAT'S GREAT ALICE!!" I congratulated while I jumped up and down as well.
"Oh thank god I don't have to wear those suits!!" Rosalie sighed with relief while Alice and I were laughing.
"How did this idea come to you?" I asked.
"Like all my other creations remember?" she said, "I see them in my head before-hand then I turn them into designs. That's why the company is called 'Premonition' Bella! DUH!" she said with a obvious tone. I laughed and looked at Rosalie who had started looking at Alice's designs.
"I like this Ally!" she said with a grin.
"Thanks, that one was my third design." she told her. Just then. something occured to me.
"Umm.. hey Al?" I said with a worried tone.
"Yeah Bells?" she answered.
"How are we going to get male models?" I asked with now confusion in my tone.
"Well, here's the thing," she began, "the company's management suggested that I interview some well experienced models and choose about 20 models. And 7 of the 20 will be doing fashion shows and photoshoots. The other 13 will just be doing runway stuff." she said.
"And..." Rosalie questioned.
"I was wondering if you guys can help me with the interviews because we will be doing a quick photoshoot with them to see how they act in front of the camera. What I need help with is," she paused, "determining the 20 models and if you two can model with them one at a time for the photoshoot so I can see how they work with others as well." she asked with a hopeful face.
"When's the interview?" asked Rosalie sternly.
"It's this Saturday at Studio C. It starts at about 1:40 in the afternoon, but if you decide to help, be there at 1:00 and bring some of the outfits that I have designed that you guys have." Alice answered. We stood in silence as Rose and I were making a desicion. I broke the silence.
"I would love to help you out Alice!" I announced to her with a grin.
"Thank you so much Bella!" she said to me while she wrapped her arms around me to embrace me in a hug.
"Anytime Al!" I told her.
Then we both turned to Rosalie with a raised eyebrow. It looked like she was debating whether to do it or not. But finally she shrugged and said,
"Why not." she paused and her face turned serious, "but I swear if one guy in there trys to grab my ass, I will beat the shit out of them!" she warned. Alice and I both laughed knowing that all she just said was true. We all had a group hug and congratulated Alice.
After a minute, we all pulled away and look at eachother with a knowing look.
"SHOPPING!" all three of us yelled.
We giggled and turned towards the doors and made our way to the elevator.
