Clare(POV)
Driving to the studio the next morning felt…weird. I don't know what it is, but I think it has to do with my morning yesterday with….Eli. I can't get him out of mind. Our time at the diner yesterday made me feel comfortable. Happy. Ever since I joined this business, I've always felt out-of-place. But yesterday I felt like the old me for once.
Eli still didn't pick up on my incident with him in that room yesterday and I'm happy about it. I can finally stop sleeping with photographers and just do my actual job for once. Drew can just go on and think I'm fucking Eli. It won't cause any harm. Right?
I parked my car and entered the building, going straight to the catwalk. Drew is having a meeting for all models. Apparently its important. I entered the catwalk room and was greeted with the 160 models that belonged to this studio. Drew was standing on the catwalk, talking to Adam. Adam was his brother, and director of each fashion show. Unlike Drew, he was sweet, caring and an amazing guy. When Drew noticed me walking towards him, he smirked and said,
"Hey babe."
I looked at Adam to see his face was mocking vomiting. I laughed and smiled at him. He smiled back and hit Drew in the arm. Drew looked at him and nodded. Drew then looked over all the models and smiled.
"Ladies, thank you for joining Adam and I this morning for this important meeting."
I rolled my eyes. Drew always made it sound like he was running a stock-market.
"As you know this Friday is Fore Love and we are putting on a show." He continued.
Shit. I forgot about Fore Love. Fore Love is a big modeling event that happens once a year, and it is always held at FIDM. I remember going to my first one, I was beyond amazed. You meet different celebrities, the models put on a special show and everyone socializes. Now I just find them completely stupid and a waste of time. But I have to be in it. Models job.
"So Adam here is going to give you your schedule to rehearse." He motioned Adam to go to the models. I made may way to Adam when Drew called me.
"Clare, come here."
I jumped up the catwalk and he pushed me aside.
"So…how was Eli yesterday."
I sighed and looked at his waiting face. "Great. He was really satisfied."
He smiled wide. "Really. That's my girl. Now remember its long-term. So don't be surprised if he wants more."
I smirked. "Oh don't worry, I don't have a problem with that."
"Good, now listen about Friday, when Fore Love is finished, there is going to be an after party. I need you to come."
"Is Eli going to be there?" I instantly wanted him there if I was doing anything.
Drew looked confused. "Yes, he's going to be there."
"Good. Count me in. Oh wait. I need my money from the other night."
"Oh that's right!" He dug in his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash. He handed it to me and I snatched it.
"Thank you." I made my way towards Adam.
Adam smiled when I reached him. "Hey Clare, how's it going?
I shrugged. "The same. How about you?"
"Good. Good. Here's your schedule." I folded the yellow paper and put it in my bag.
"Hey Adam, do you know the photographer Elijah Goldsworthy?"
Adam's eyes lit up. "Do I? He's awesome. One of my good friends. Is he working for you?"
More like the other way around. "Yeah, he took a few shots of me yesterday, but he's working with us for a while."
"Awesome." Adam smiled as he looked over my shoulder. "Well speak of the devil."
I turned around. My heart started beating fast. Standing at the entrance was Eli. Looking sexy as ever. He came up to us and smirked.
"Adam my man what's up?" Eli and Adam did this fist pump thing.
"Nothing much man, just getting ready for Fore Love."
Eli's eyes turned flat and shifted uncomfortably. "Fore Love?"
Eli's eyes flickered to mine. I gave him a questioning look. Adam looked just as confused. "Yeah, aren't you invited?"
Eli cleared his throat. "I wasn't aware. Listen I've got to go find Drew. I'll see you later man." He exited the room.
Instinctively, I felt the need to go after him. So I did. He was walking down the hallway.
"Eli!" I ran up to him as he turned around.
He looked isolated. His hands were stuck in his pockets. He looked like he was upset. "What?"
"I really want you to go to Fore Love Friday." I was surprised how desperate I sounded.
"Why?"
I sighed. "Because you're the first person who seems real at this industry, and I'll be eaten alive by the fakeness that goes around at that stupid after party."
He smirked. "Wow Edwards, you that desperate for me."
I scoffed. "No, I just thought it would be nice to have a friend there but since you'd rather not.." I turned on my heal, but he said.
"I'll see you there. You might not be desperate to see me, but I do want to see you."
I turned back to him. My mouth gaped. But he was already walking away.
A/N: Sorry, but I promise next chapter will be more interesting. Review?
