Beautiful Dreamer

Chapter 1

Elena Gilbert tapped her foot impatiently as she waited to start her new life away from the tragic one she had up and left. She didn't say a single goodbye to her family. They didn't deserve one after what her mother had let happen to her when she was only thirteen years old, but that was not the thing she wanted to think about at the moment. She had bigger things to concern herself with.

Like trying to get into a modeling agency. She had dreamed of being a model ever since she was younger, but it was that last incident at her home that pushed her over the edge. She took a sip of the vodka she managed to steal from the bartender. When he finally came in.

"Elena Gilbert?" he said looking at her.

"The one and only."

He shook her hand and smiled.

"You are defiantly are hot enough to be model material. I'm Malakai Parker. Kai for short."

"Well it's nice to meet you Kai."

"I wouldn't say that yet. I haven't hired you."

"Well you're going to. I have a good feeling about this."

"Cocky. I like it. I just need to ask you a few questions."

"Fire away."

"Have you ever modeled before?"

"No, but I did have one of my close friends do a portfolio, so you can check it out. I do everything from old century to nudes."

He snagged her portfolio and smirked a little bit at it. Perfect. Guys were so easy.

"So why do you want to be a model?"

"I came from a pretty bad living situation and I just wanted to get out of there."

"Why modeling?"

"It's a new adventure where I don't have to stay in one place for too long. I just need to experience life and I count this as an awesome experience . That and having the body for it helps."

"You know what I actually like your spunk and judging from your portfolio you're actually pretty good. I say this is a match made in heaven Elena Gilbert."

Elena smiled as Kai shook her hand. He gave her the rest of the details and they agreed to meet tomorrow so she could meet the rest of the models. This was the start of her new life and she was willing to take all the risk to make it work.
