Working as a magazine editor had a lot of perks, especially when where you worked was the same place as of where they shot pictures of models for the magazine covers and many, MANY pictures inside. I got to meet a lot of celebrities who occasionally would stroll through where we worked and watch us as we smoothed out their imperfections and decorated the pages they were on while writing our own little stories and ideas onto the pages. I adored having attention from celebrities and often went out of my way to be noticed around the office when one stepped in, I was always the best at the job so of course they saw me and praised me even. It made me feel as if I was actually better than them, in some ways I am of course. When Models come in I know I am better, all they have to do is stand there and look pretty. My job actually had thought into it. So when they did come in I would barely acknowledge them, some were beautiful, some were meh. They didn't really impress me. The only Model I've cared about in my entire history of working here was just because my best friend had a crush on them and every time they came in I always tried to work up his courage to speak to them.
One day when a group of them came in I sat at my desk, not recognizing any of them except for one, making them useless to try and spend any of my energy on. When they were about to leave and I was already being sent all of the photos to try to choose which was best for the inside cover, they instead wanted to look around the office where we worked like many of them did, one girl in particular was overly excited to look around. When I turned to see her standing over my shoulder in awe as she read over the article I was working on I couldn't help but look her over, admiring her beauty which I didn't indulge in very often. She was different than the other female models that I see walk in here day in to day out. She wasn't anorexic looking like most of them and actually had very nice curves. She didn't appear to be too skinny nor too chubby, it was nice to see on a model. She had long blonde hair that was pulled up into a bun and the make up that Samantha probably worked on for ages was wiped off and you could see her natural beauty showing through. She had bright blue eyes that jumped between me and the screen, and plump lips that were opened slightly and looked oh so kissable. Her cheeks turned a nice rose color when she noticed me looking at her and she stood up, getting rid of the view down her shirt which made me a bit disappointed since I hadn't even gotten a proper view. She gave me a smile and held her hand out for me to take.
"Hello, I'm Jessica Davis. Aspiring Model." She introduced and I stood up, noting I was a bit taller, not much, but maybe about 2 or 3 inches, but enough and gave her a smile, holding my hand out as well which she took.
"Emily Hayward. Pleasure to meet you Ms Davis." She blushed even more as she shook my hand and hesitated on letting go.
"I-" She was interrupted.
"Jessica! Come'on, we're leaving!" We both looked to the source of the yell and saw another model there, a regular model we got here by the name of Michael Munroe who one of own very own photographers had the biggest crush on. Matthew Pierce was a huge fan of Mike and every time he heard that the tall male was coming in for yet another photoshoot he would almost squeal and fangirl about it until the day actually came and he instead began to freak out about looking nice. Every time I would tell him it didn't matter since the models didn't care about people like us and Matt would just agree but then dress awfully nice that I had to joke that it even got me a bit hot under the collar, he would always laugh sarcastically at that as I faked fanning myself off. I noticed Matt step up next to Mike and say something and the guy gave Matt his own huge grin, grabbing Matt's hand which surprised me and waving for Jessica to follow them as they left. Jessica turned to me and chewed on her lip a bit, I watched as she did so, wishing I could capture her lips with my own and felt myself grabbing one of my business cards, handing it to her and she grinned as she read it over and put in into her purse, she looked up at me and gave me a full teeth smile that made her have dimples.
"See ya!" She said, looking happy as ever as she skipped out of the room, skirt flying up a bit and I stood there for a few moments, not really sure what just happened but loving the fact that it did, indeed happen.
"Em has a crush" I heard being sung and I looked over at Chris who was in his chair, smug as always and he spun, a shit eating grin plastered on his face. Ashley stepped up to him and stopped his chair and scoffed, sitting on his lap.
"Don't be so mean Chris," She flicked his nose and turned to me with an apologetic smile, "Don't mind this doofus, I think it's actually very sweet. We all assumed you were Asexual or something since you never really seemed to show any attraction towards anyone."
"Now we know that your type is Blonde, curvaceous, and a bit skimpy." Sam said walking in with Josh wrapped around her as he always seemed to be.
"Hey Sammy, Jessica is one of my clients, she only dresses skimpy when going to jobs, other than that she actually wears clothes that cover up her lovelies." Josh explained and Fixed his suit a bit, ignoring the stare that Sam gave him by looking at his phone and fiddling with it.
"Still. We now know that Emily. . . . .wait for it. . ."Chris said, standing up and putting his hands in the air slowly, "Is. . . . .a. . . . ."
"I'm not a lesbian." I interjected and Chris put his arms down in defeat.
"But. . . but. . ."
"I'm not. I'm just really attracted to Jessica. . . .I'm chill with being with anyone really." I sat back down at my desk and Ashley clapped her hands.
"Pansexual?"
"Do I look like I'm attracted to Pans?" I deadpanned and Ashley gave me a look of complete horror and I couldn't help but crack a grin and laugh, "Joking joking. . . .yeah, probably that."
"Then you'll be somewhat pleased to know that Jessica is actually a hermaphrodite." Josh said and everyone turned to him, shocked, "I know. I was pretty surprised as well when she first told me, she goes by female pronouns though and doesn't have the heart to get rid of her uhm. . . .male genitalia. Which is understandable, it's what makes her her and whatnot." Sam grinned and patted Josh's shoulder.
"Well, whatever she is, she is very attractive and having both a dick and a vagina doesn't make her any better or worse than us. She seems like a really sweet girl and I hope we can see her around here more often. I loved doing her make up, she has such a great bone structure!" I couldn't help but agree with Sam, she had really nice cheekbones.
"You all are idiots, I hope you realize this." They all nodded, agreeing shamelessly and muttered to one another how right I was. I felt my phone buzz and looked down to see a text message with a picture attached. I opened it up and saw it was a picture of Jessica making a peace sign with Matt and Mike sitting behind her sitting very close and faces contorted as if they were laughing with it titled 'These two are so in love, dorks. Wish you were here! Xoxo~' I blushed and Chris grabbed my phone, showing it to the others before I could get it back and they all cooed at me and insisted that I asked the Model out on a date and I had to relent a bit, Why not? If it didn't work out, it didn't work out, I would move on. I called Jessica up and she seemed thrilled when she first picked up the phone.
She agreed to go out with me. I told the others and they cheered a bit too loudly, gaining the attention of my other co-workers and I glared at them all, making them turn away from us and Ashley dragged me into the back to find clothes for my date.
My friends were such dorks.
