Eren's POV

"Eren, do you mind if you bring these to table six over there?" One of my co-workers ordered me around. I smiled at her in reply and took the cup of coffee and the strawberry shortcake to table 6.

The customer who was at table 6 had an elegant face suited as an actor. I wonder if he some type of celebrity… What am I thinking? "Here's your order, sir." I watched him flinched in sight and removed his sight from the viewfinder of his camera. "Right… your cup of coffee and strawberry shortcake." I smiled at him. Always have to let out a smile.

He kept staring at me and I felt very uncomfortable with those eyes staring right at me. It's like I am his prey or something. "Well I see that you're a fond of cameras." I decided to interrupt this weird atmosphere of silence and staring.

"Ah, yeah… I do and thank you for bringing what I've ordered… uh-"

"Eren… My name is Eren Jaeger." I've introduced myself to him, "Also you're very welcome." Why is his voice so soothing? It made me forget to say my manners!

"Right… I'm Levi by the way." He introduced himself. I tried not to laugh at the name, "Levi" due to the fact it was a brand of jeans.

"It's nice to meet you, Levi. Uh, I got to get back working now if you don't mind." I laughed nervously. This is seriously awkward I never ever had an awkward conversation like this before. I did a slight bow and made my way to the kitchen, but before anything else could happen I felt a hand on my wrist from going to my destination. I glanced seeing that he stopped me and looked at him weirdly that it made him let go of my wrist, and he started to apologize about it.

I was planning to say that it was fine, but a sudden movement made me in utter shock. He grabbed a piece of my hair and his soft fingers caressed my cheek. A gentle smile that was soothing like a river had shown by this man, "Hey, Jaegar do you want to become famous?

I had to process what he was asking, "F-Famous… What do you mean by famous?"

"You know getting known-"

"I know but what I mean is that… why and what?" I interrupted him.

"Become my model and I'll make you famous. A famous guy that every person will be a fond of and every girl out there will fall heels over you." He explained.

I gulped and let out a shrug, "You're just talking non-sense… asking a stranger with no talents and skills."

"I'll make you earn those talents and skills." He gave his comeback. I tried to think of something to at least let him step back.

"No one would ever look at your work because of me." I fought back.

He let out a chuckle, "Once I find a target I will never let him or her go. Besides you have the looks of a model, beautiful eyes, nice body structure, and a wonderful smile. Total up everything… very attractive."

"Very attractive…" I said softly. No one has ever told me that and I am being told by someone who looks more attractive than me? What is going on today?!

"So… Strawberry what do you think about it?" He just had to ruin my trail of thoughts. I watched him sip his cup of coffee and looked at him.

"I'll think about it." I gave my final response. He smiled as his response back to my thinking about it and gave me his business card, as I kindly accepted it from his hands. Levi Ackerman… A professional photographer, so he's a photographer?

"Call me once you decided strawberry." He teased me, as I heard my manager calling for me.

"I will and don't call me that… it's very embarrassing!" I blushed at the thought of being called, "Strawberry," Who calls a guy that? I stormed off letting him enjoy his coffee and cake, as I apologized to my manager for taking quite a while to respond.

"What are you looking at?"

I looked at one of my best friend, Armin. He had been my friend ever since well pretty much we knew each other; childhood friends.

"Just someone's business card…" I told him.

"Business card… I didn't know you work in a business industry."

"I particularly don't… Someone just wants me to be their model for something." I explained to him.

He clapped his hand together, "That's pretty awesome! Hey, you'll be getting all the girls and-"

"You sound way too excited more than I am, Armin." I rolled my eyes at him and slipped the card in my pocket.

"Oh come on, Eren! I mean imagine it… you won't have to work in the café anymore and you'll be making double the money! You'll be paying off your loan so easily!"

He did have a point… I did have money problems and that's what made me work at the café, but I really liked working at the café. I am not sure what I really like about working there… It's just really peaceful. "Well you do have a point…"

"See… I always do have a point on a lot of things!" Armin exclaimed.

"I am just agreeing to whatever you are saying because I have no clue what to do. I mean who just goes up to a random stranger and be like hey you want be my model?" I recited from how he asked me.

Armin laughed at that idea, "Well probably he was desperate on finding a model?"

I thought about his statement… maybe that's the reason why. Probably Levi was making things up about me being attractive. Why, do I care if I am attractive or not? I am not even a girl!

"By the way who is this photographer that wants you to model for him?" Armin asked.

"Ah, his name was Levi Ackerman." I had to think about it for a moment.

"Wait… did you just say Levi Ackerman?"

I looked at Armin, "Yeah… I just said Levi Ackerman is there a problem-"

"No, there's no problem. Well, that might be a problem because you don't know how popular his works are, man!" Armin interrupted me. I looked at Armin with a dumbfounded look, "Look I'll e-mail you some of his works to check it out once we get home, okay?"

I nodded with satisfaction and once we reached our last stop we took our separated paths. I live in an old apartment but everything still works well and it's still convenient. I unlocked the door and made my way to my bedroom ignoring the creaking sounds of the wooden floors. Putting my bag down I've already heard a notification from my computer. It must have been Armin already… Assuming he must be really a fan of this Levi guy. How popular is he anyways?

Going to my desk I sat down and clicked message that Armin sent me. There was link that made me think I need to click on it, so I did. It leads me to a new tab which was a website of Levi's portfolio. Just scheming through each photos it made me realize that he puts in a lot of effort to have meaning in each of his picture. It's really amazing how he can have the model do something to be something that symbolizes something. No wonder why Armin was all so fan-girling about him.

I took the card out of my pocket and grabbed my cellphone. If I decided to accept it there's no turning back, but if I reject the offer I still will have to work at the café and stick up with my loans. Modeling… is not really my thing and I really don't have any thoughts about it. What's so hard about posing right?

Letting out a deep breath, I've dialed the number from the card onto my cellphone and tapped on call. I placed my phone next to my ear waiting for him to pick up. Even though a few seconds past it made me have second thoughts. Maybe, he was just joking with me right he was-, "Hello?" I needed to catch my breath there for a moment.

"Uh, hey… It's Eren." I greeted him.

"Oh, the waiter… what's your name again, right. Hey if it isn't strawberry!"

"Didn't I say not to call me strawberry?!" I tried to keep my anger down.

He lets out a small chuckle, "So what's with you calling me?"

What's with me calling you? Oh, not to have a conversation with you alright. "About modeling of course…"

"Shut up!"

"What excuse-"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that to you. It's just that this brat keeps bugging me. Right, about the modeling have you decided?"

"Yeah, I have… I decided to uh- accept your offer." I said with confidence.

"Wait what did you say?"

I lifted an eyebrow, "I said that I would accept your offer about being a model. I would like to become your model."

He let out a small laugh, "Sorry, it's not that your response was funny… I am just happy that's all."

"You're happy about me accepting it?" I questioned him.

"Of course, I am brat. Don't make me regret that now. Alrighty, meet me at the park tomorrow at 'noon and we'll start your modeling job, strawberry."

"Yes, sir! I'll put that up on my calendar." I obeyed him.

"Great, you better not be late, Jaeger."

"I won't … but if I do?..." I asked him.

"Hmm… if you were to be a minute or a two minutes late… I say punishment." He left me hanging for a moment, "Anyways, I have to go brat. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ah, right don't worry I won't be late!" He just let out a chuckle and hanged up. I bet you he was smirking after I said that.

My modeling career… starts tomorrow. Great… break a leg, Jaeger.
