"Amelia! Amelia!" Lauren shouted from down the stairs. "You can't be late again! You almost missed last week's photo shoot!"
Amelia rolled over and faced the French doors which sat on the left hand side of her room; she gazed out as the shone peeped through the minuet gap in the curtain. She felt her eyes closing on her again, but with a little encouragement, finally got up and sat on the side of the bed. Lauren burst through the door.
"Well, that's an improvement" Lauren sarcastically remarked as she leaned against the door frame "Now hurry! Ruby's relying on you!" Lauren left Amelia still sat in silence on the side of the bed. She eventually got up, switched on the radio and walked into her closet. 'Why do I never have anything to wear?' Amelia thought to herself. She had every brand you could ever think off, and yet, still nothing.
Baby I want you come, come, come into my arms / Let me feel the wonder of all of you
Amelia had one ear opened as she looked through her closet to find a suitable outfit. She decided on black Louboutin heels, skinny ripped denim jeans, a causal white tank top, and a smart black blazer. Lauren came back into the room.
"Hallelujah!" Lauren clapped in time to the music, sarcastically.
"You know, you're in the wrong job Lauren! You should be a fucking comedian" Amelia responded without taking her eyes of the mirror, while curling the last part of her hair.
"I know I just can't help it!" Lauren laughed at herself.
"You know only fools laugh at there own jokes"
"You're the fool" Lauren quickly jumped to her defence, laughing "Why are you listening to Take That? I thought you preferred that Irish band? What are there names?" Lauren thought for a while, "Westlife!"
"Oh, it just came on" Amelia lied. She loved Take That's music and always had done since she was a teenager.
"This wouldn't have anything to do with your crush on Mark Owen now, would it?" Lauren smirked to herself, knowing it would hit a nerve. Amelia glanced over with aggression.
"Mark who?" Amelia switched off her curlers and walked past Lauren, bumping her shoulder-to-shoulder on the way out. Lauren just laughed.
Downstairs, Amelia kept checking her iPhone repeatedly...
"Expecting a call?" Lauren swallowed her cereal and waited for a response.
"No, I have emergency services on speed dial… you prepared 'breakfast'"
"Well, if you call tipping a box into a bowl and adding milk preparing; then yes. I prepared breakfast" Lauren sounded proud about her 'achievement'. Amelia still looking at her phone, smiled. A car horn beeped three times. Amelia jumped up and walked to the door, looking in the mirror before exiting.
"See you later Millie!" Lauren shouted from the kitchen. Amelia stopped and turned around.
"Gosh Lauren, Millie? You haven't called me that since school!"
"I'm going to start it again, I forgot how cute it was" Lauren took a mouthful of her food and shouted again "Anyway, see you when you get back… and don't forget-" Amelia had gone. "Well, that was rude" Lauren said to an empty room.
Arriving at 'Fallston Studio', Amelia was met by photographers and her agent, Ruby. The photo shoot was promoting 'Lucy Model's' perfume, the management which Amelia and Lauren were with. The photo shoot lasted almost all day, well, until around 4. She heard a noise outside, sounded like men entering. Something told Amelia to look outside – she did so to see 4 men stood outside, they were handsome admittedly, she knew exactly who they were!
"Mia!" Gary shouted as he walked across the hall over to her "It's been a while; I haven't seen you since the Beautiful World promotions! You're looking lovely as ever"
"Thank you Gary! I've been caught up with things, I'm so glad to be modelling again though!"
"And how's my lovely Evie?" Amelia loved Gary's accent, he sounded so caring – even when he wasn't trying too!
"She's good!" There was a moment of silence, before Gary spoke up
"How about dinner tonight!" Gary turned around and pointed at the lads, Howard and Mark looked over and waved, Amelia waved back "Me and the lads, heading to Nobu tonight, why don't you and Lauren come! We haven't had a good catch up in a while, I don't think we thanked you enough for the promotions with The Beautiful World Tour!"
"Ah, of course you did Gary! It was mine and Lauren's pleasure, but of course we will!" They hugged, and Gary headed back to the boys. Jason was on the phone, he seemed to be engrossed in the conversation, and Amelia stood there for a while, just looking at him. He began to pace around the hall. She sighed and grabbed her things from the studio, her hair and make-up was still done and she had killer heels on, which the Photographer kindly said she could have, she walked out looking at the floor when she walked into somebody.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Amelia gasped and put her hand to her mouth.
"It's okay, I should have been looking; it's my fault!" He sounded more apologetic than she did
"Jason! Trust it to be you" Amelia laughed and folded her arms; he seemed handsome this time around. She had worked with Take That ever since the comeback, but Jason was the one she least interacted with. She never really noticed how handsome he truly was. 'Thank god for accidents' she thought to herself.
"I hear you and Lockhart are out with the boys tonight!" Jason stood in direct line with Amelia's eyes, they were twinkly blue and her long blonde hair flowed loosely over her shoulders and down her back. He too never noticed how beautiful she really was, he worked more with Lauren over the years. "I'll be glad to see you there; we haven't spoken in a while, it's also good so I don't have to ask you out myself" He had a cheeky grin on his face.
"I'll be there; it'll be good catching up with you Jay!" Amelia smiled at him; he returned and lit up the room with his smile. He looked past her and realised he was needed
"Oh, the boys are waiting for me! More photo shoot's you see, they can't get enough of me!" Jason laughed at himself, Amelia too. She liked how vain he was, but then again, she was exactly the same! Jason left after saying his goodbyes and Amelia left the studio.
Driving home, Amelia couldn't help thinking about Jason. The way he was with her, and she cursed herself for not noticing how attractive he was the first time around. She pulled into her driveway to see a Black Ferrari California parked in the driveway. "Robert" Amelia scoffed to herself and smiled.
"Lauren? Lauren!" The house was silent; she knew they were both in "Lauren Lockhart!" The house still remained in silence. Amelia shrugged, dropped her keys on the side table and walked upstairs to her room. Lauren's door was shut and the silence was very peculiar. Amelia's house was never silent, there was always music, or someone talking or the television was on! Amelia walked up to Lauren's door and pressed her ear against it; she could just about make out Lauren's voice and a man's... which sounded like Robs.
"Play nice you two!" Amelia didn't hear anything "…If you can't play nice, play safe!" To which the door burst open.
"Millie!" Lauren stood in the gap of the door, so she couldn't see through. "What do you want?"
"That's nice, it's not like I own this apartment or anything" Lauren glared "Okay, I got invited by Gary – and Jason – to Nobu tonight, and they wanted to know whether you and Rob would like to join us. Or will you two be busy making Baby Downey Jnr's?" Amelia had a smug look on her face, the door then opened further and Rob appeared.
"Amelia, how nice to hear you" Rob walked out and hugged her "Nobu I hear? We are there! Aren't we bunny?"
"Yes, we are" Lauren was still glaring at Amelia, but couldn't help but smile at Amelia's smug expression.
