My Runway Angel
Miley Rose
I smiled at my reflection, proud of my outfit choice – I decided to put my options out to bright colors. I settled for black jeans, a pastel yellow signature blouse, blue wedged boots, and a matching blue shoulder bag. I had placed my hair neatly in a bun that sat on top of my head, with only a few stray pieces hanging out on the sides. While my makeup was kept fresh with a light layer of foundation with powder to set it, top liquid eyeliner winged out, and a generous amount of mascara making my lashes longer and fuller, leaving my lips nude with a hint of lip balm. Today was the day where the contest ended, leaving only one person left to stand as the winner. I shifted on my feet nervously; we were going out for breakfast at a high-end restaurant where the winner would be announced. Not only did the winner have a contract as the new PINK Runway Model, but they would also get a shopping spree and a VIP Angel Access card to Victoria's Secret which allows you to get anything for free – which was quite exciting. I bit my lip nervously as I made my way down to the car waiting for me. Jenna had already gone down just a few moments before me, and she did not look nervous at all, not a single trace.
I locked the door and made my way down to the SUV waiting, as I opened the door I smiled at Jenna before sitting down next to her and shutting the door – letting our driver now that he could drive now. I tapped my freshly painted nails against my leg, looking out the window I couldn't help but think about what would happen if I did win, and most importantly what would happen if I didn't. A voice suddenly pulled me out of my thoughts, "You know, whoever wins there's no hard feelings right?"
My eyes shifted from the scenery outside of the window and to Jenna who had spoken to me just a moment ago. I gave her a small smile and nodded, "Of course no hard feelings, this is a competition so only one of us can win it. No hard feelings towards each other will be made, but feelings in general are bound to break a little."
We continued with small talk that didn't last long as we arrived at our destination, thanking the driver we left the car only to be blinded by flashes from all over the place. I instantly held my right hand over my eyes and Jenna grabbed my other hand as we made our way towards the entrance – questions were being thrown out about the contest and who was going to win today. Finally reaching the front door, we were greeted by two large men who gladly helped us through, away from the crazy photographers outside. Being guided to our table, where business men and women filled most of the seats we occupied the last two remaining chairs. I smiled nervously at Ryan Lutz who was sitting directly across from both Jenna and I.
"Good morning girls, thank you for making it on time this early morning. Of course I would like both of you to know that whoever wins, the runner up is just as beautiful and will make it far even without this opportunity. I have already been informed on the winner, and congratulations to Miley Rose, you have won the votes to be Victoria's Secret new PINK Angel Runway Model!" Ryan Lutz finally confessed to the whole table.
"Now Jenna, we want you as one of our models, but not necessarily our new runway model. You are gorgeous, but we would like you to just be one of our standard models in Los Angeles with Katherine." I couldn't process this just yet. I quickly turned my head towards Jenna, whose happy smile had dropped and was replaced with a fairly sad one, probably thinking he was going to sign with her too. He cleared his throat once again, "We will announce that we couldn't just let Jenna go and we had to snatch her up and sign her with us!"
Everyone nodded, I smiled at Jenna who just glared at me, and so she never actually really liked me then. Well I would be pretty pissed to if Ryan Lutz asked me to join him, but work for someone else far away not even having the chance to be a runway model. Breakfast soon came out, and everyone started to eat with a few conversations here and there.
I had excused myself to the bathroom as I finished my business; I was just about to open the stall door until voices filled the restroom. I stopped my hand at the latch, what they were talking about was very intriguing. "Can you believe it; we all know that although Miley had more votes, Ryan never liked Jenna from the start. You know Selena was supposed to stay and compete against Miley Rose, but Selena has too much of an innocent look."
I raised my eyebrow, before eavesdropping a little more.
"Yeah but Ryan kept Jenna for charity, Victoria's Secret hasn't been getting much publicity, so with this new charity case with Jenna still getting a modeling career he will have the media eating out of the palm out of his hand. Think about it, day one Miley was here Ryan made sure that she was going to win, Jenna had more votes but he changed it and made it seem like Miley beat her by thousands. But hey, this is the fashion world; I would have done the same thing but would have been blunter about it." The girl snorted, before their clicking of their heels soon disappeared.
I couldn't believe my innocent ears.
My Runway Angel
I was currently texting Demi, as I was on my way to the nearest mall to do my shopping spree and use this VIP card.
From: Demetria My Love
So he just changed everything… YOU ARE SO LUCKY.
And he wanted you so he just kicked her to the curb,
Well technically LA, but that doesn't matter.
Don't feel bad babe, feel honored. (;
I giggled at Demi's text, I had admitted everything to her and how I felt like horrible about what they had decided, but flattered that he liked me from the start. I feel like there was more to what I heard in the bathroom, Jenna was just a charity case? Well that must hurt if she ever found out about it, I can't help but feel like if I was the bad guy doing this to her. She did give me the nastiest look though…
To: Demetria My Love
You're right Dems; I just don't want to be known for not being good enough compared
To Jenna Freeland, and like on the first day, he could have been thinking:
"Miley Rose, I like her she is the winner but doesn't know it yet!
And I'll choose Jenna Freeland as her charity case!"
By the way, get packing. You have a flight out to New York in 2 hours, 12 PM (;
You're welcome my love.
I sent the text message to her; I had used my plus one ticket that VS will pay for to fly out anyone of my choice for tomorrow's show. I know she will definitely freak out. I finally arrived at the mall and made my way inside, some paparazzi's had followed me all the way from the restaurant shouting at me about how it felt to win I just smiled and told them that it was an amazing experience here and I am lucky to have won. Entering the glass doors, the photographers couldn't enter from there on. I sighed as I made my way towards Victoria's Secret first so I could go crazy and buy everything – that's Miley for you, plus things for Demi of course. Strolling along the tables inside, I had been greeted by many of the workers – only one customer had noticed me so far, she was a bit shorter than I was with her heels on and had red mid-length hair.
"Aren't you Miley Rose?" The red head exclaimed, a little star struck. I gave her a small smile, I hadn't realize that people would actually start to recognize me and consider me… dare I say it… famous. I nodded and the red head automatically whipped her phone out asking for a picture so she could tweet about meeting me.
"Of course you can have a picture love, and I'll follow you on twitter too!" I kindly told her, smiling as she snapped a cute picture of us. I clicked the Twitter app on my phone and started to tweet.
MileyRose: I just met an amazing person! JazmineGray01 is so sweet xx (:
The red head, named Jazmine was a bit on the freaking out side since I had followed and tweeted her. This was all really weird for me, especially when she asked for an autograph I had asked a worker for a sharpie and they kindly obliged and I signed Jazmine's shopping bag, she had just bought a few things from Victoria's Secret. "Thank you so much! It was great meeting you, and you are beautiful! I voted for you every day!"
I smiled and hugged her, "Thank you Jazmine, nice to meet you too and have a nice day!"
I shook my head as I continued to shop, I guess I should start getting used to this – who knows how many people will actually come up to me when the news has fully traveled all around the world; oh boy.
I sighed, content with my shopping spree, I had about a million shopping bags – kidding, roughly around twenty six. I checked the time and saw that it was an hour until Demi would land; I checked if Demi had replied earlier when I was too busy shopping.
From: Demetria My Love
WHAT!? ONLY TWO HOURS!?
I CAN'T PACK EVERYTHING I NEED IN TWO HOURS!
Ugh, talk to you later, I need to pack. I don't even know how long I'll even bee there…
You suck Rose, well not really since you're flying me out.
See you later, love you.
I chuckled, and didn't bother to reply
It was 4:00 PM, and Demi landed around 5 so I called for my chauffer that I would be using for the rest of my stay in New York to take me to the airport and pick up my dear Demetria.
My Runway Angel
I was standing alone in front of where Demi soon would be coming out of, glancing around the place I noticed a familiar curly headed man not too far from me sitting down with a familiar short brown haired man. I casually strolled my way over, they had beanies and sun glasses on – probably to stay undercover but obviously it didn't help as much as they thought. The sounds of my heels clicking against the airport floor caught Joe's attention, his head snapping up. He smiled and stood up as soon as his eyes laid on me.
"Hello Miley, fancy seeing you here. Are you waiting for family?" Joe asked as he pulled me into a warm hug. I nodded and looked over at Nick who was now beside Joe and wrapped my arms around his neck hugging him – he probably didn't expect a hug considering how he jumped a bit before wrapping his arms around my waist, damn he smell good. I told him a quick hello before pulling away from his embrace. Nick shot me the cutest smile ever before awkwardly waving, a shy guy; turn on.
"I'm waiting for my best friend; I used my plus one to fly here from Los Angeles to New York for the show tomorrow. She's a huge fan of you guys so if she faints, pukes, stutters, stare, or jumps on you, please understand." I told them before plastering a sweet smile on my face. They chuckled at all of my warnings, I wasn't kidding though, last time she met Victoria Vega she puked on her food, yeah she didn't get a picture with her after… "Why are you boys here?"
Nick smiled and finally spoke up, explaining, "Kevin's wife is flying out and we're picking her up for him since he is running errands and getting their date set up for tonight."
"Flight 02753 from Los Angeles has just landed." The intercom announced, I jumped up in joy turning around to try and spot Demi as people started to shuffle out into the airport. I smiled excitedly and saw Demi walking and talking with a brunette woman, I grabbed both Nick's and Joe's hand, dragging them with me towards Demi. Demi looked up and as soon as she saw me she squealed, jumping up and running towards me at full speed. As she ran and hugged me, I stumbled all the way back almost falling over, but instead I stumbled into someone's arms behind me preventing me from falling back.
"As much as I love you Demi, but I can't breathe and I'm not the one holding both of us up…" I managed to squeak out as Demi squeezed all of the air out of my lungs, the person still behind us holding us up. Demi giggled innocently, letting me go and standing back upright, freezing as she looked at the person behind me – star struck at the sight. I stood back up and rolled my eyes, turning around to meet Nick Gray's eyes, he had a small smile and I mouthed 'thank you' to him as Demi started squealing and squeezing Nick, crushing possibly every bone in his body. "Demi, let the boy breathe, there's another one that you missed."
With those words Demi jumped up and hugged Joe to death next, I rolled my eyes as a small played off of my lips. I glanced at the brunette who stood next to me awkwardly; I smiled and extended my hand. "Hello I'm Miley Rose."
The brunette shook my hand and flashed me a sincere smile, "I'm Danielle Gray, and I sat next to Demi on the plane she freaked out when she saw me. Big Gray Brother's fan she is, that was all she had on her i-pod."
I laughed as Demi protested, obviously embarrassed about her playlist. We started making our way out of the airport, talking and getting to know each other more, planning to go out for dinner just the four of us after dropping Danielle off for her night with Kevin. Speaking of Kevin, I still have yet to meet the third of the Gray Brothers. Stepping out, the sun was just about to set; flashes and clicks could be seen and heard all around. I was blinded for a second as an arm wrapped around my waist helping me through all of the chaos. I saw that it was Nick as he pushed through the photographers, regretting that he probably didn't bring any security with him to the airport. He seemed to be used to the flashes, and the sunglasses helped him much more. Covering my eyes with my hand, questions were thrown out in the open for us to hear.
"Nick Gray, who are these two lovely ladies?"
"Joe, is this your girlfriend?"
"Miley Rose are you dating Nick Gray?"
"Danielle, where's Kevin?"
After making it out of the crowd, with the photographers now following us behind we made our separate ways and agreed on meeting each other in front of the penthouse at 9:00 PM.
I smiled as I started up the car; Demi seemed to notice and wriggled her eyebrows. "Why are you smiling Miles?"
I laughed and started to make my way onto the freeway, back to the penthouse. "No reason, just happy you're here."
I told her in the most obvious voice and flashing the most innocent smile, a smile that wasn't really meant for her.
