Chapter 13 "The Interview of Your Life"
"Aly… you ready?" Raviv asked pulling her arm back.
"You'll never leave me right?" Aly asked.
"No. I'll always be with you." Raviv assured her.
"As long as you're with me I'm okay." Aly said. Raviv smiled as they walked into the building.
"THEY'RE HERE!" a man yelled snapping pictures like crazy. Dozens more filed in behind him snapping away. Raviv and Aly smiled and waved then went to the 35th floor.
"Wow." Aly said.
"Yea." Raviv agreed hugging her before the elevator doors opened.
"Here we are." Aly said squeezing Raviv's hand. The doors opened and Aly didn't let go but laced their fingers together. A thin girl about two years older than Raviv came up to them.
"Raviv! How are you. I'm Teri. This must be Miss Michalka." Teri said hugging Aly.
"Shall we?" Teri said leading them through a maze of cubicles into a larger room.
"Soooooo, lets get started shall we?" Teri asked. Raviv nodded before Aly could freak out.
"Lets." Aly choked out.
"Okay, for started are you two really dating?" Teri asked readying her fingers for their response.
"Yea." Aly said. No we we're just making out because we could! Aly thought sarcastically. Raviv felt her tense up and caressed the back of Aly's hand with his thumb.
"How long?" Teri asked after typing up everything she needed.
"About a week." Raviv said.
"Why didn't you go public?"
"We thought if we went public out of the blue it could cause total ciaos. We just didn't want it." Raviv answered coolly.
"Although this is really no better." Aly joked. Raviv chuckled and thought up answers for possible questions.
"What about the 'just friends' angle you two have been going with? Have you always been just friends?" Teri asked typing as she spoke.
"At the beginning I think but after working together I really started to like Ricky," Aly said having to stop herself from saying Raviv.
"Same here. At the beginning we really didn't know each other so it came with time. Aly is a wonderful girl." Raviv said. Aly looked at him and smiled. Teri typed faster with every move they made.
"How did you to get caught?" Teri asked still looking up and down the computer monitor.
"Some poser maid came in with someone hidden in the cart taped us in our room." Aly laughed but on the inside she wanted to slap the fake who started all this.
"No way! Do you know who she is?" Teri asked getting into it.
"I really didn't pay attention to the maid and I had never seen her before." Raviv said.
"What about the tabloids? Have you seen them?" Teri asked.
"Yea… I actually tried to buy them all so no one would see but it was going to come out eventually and I'd rather it happen when I'm young and have the patients and energy to deal with it." Aly replied.
"What happens if this all goes bad?" Teri asked. She sounded like she really cared about them but neither one could tell if it was really her or her just doing part of her job.
"Even if we have a bad break-up I'll always try to stay close friends with Aly." Raviv said.
"I feel the same too because we always get along even if we have a big argument about something stupid. Ricky is just sweet and easy to get along with and can make bad situations funny so I don't know what I'd do without him." Aly said.
"Well, that's all we need as far as the interview but you two have made the cover. It come out in a couple days so we need you to door a shoot now." Teri said showing them out the door, down a few floors and into a photography studio.
"Hello!" A tall man said.
"Hey Jakkob this is Raviv and Aly. The newest cover stars. Can we get their wardrobe?" Teri asked leaving the room.
"WARDROBE!" Jakkob shouted. Suddenly two racks of clothes appeared in front of Raviv and Aly. Aly shuffled through the racks of clothes and pulled out a pair of ripped jeans and a white lacy knee-length dress. She grabbed a black tee and ran into a changing room. Raviv chose a pair of tan pants, a white blazer and a blue button up shirt.
"Aly! Come here a sec." Raviv said.
"Hold on!" Aly said. She came out with the jeans and tee on. Raviv laughed. "The dress is in the changing room, someone interrupted me." Aly said.
"Watcha think?" Raviv asked hold up the outfit.,
"Love it." Aly said. She ran back into the changing room and threw the dress on. She walked over to a chair and waited while the make-up artist finished their job. After they were down Aly threw on a pair of vintage back heels and waited for Raviv. He came back out and went to find Jakkob.
"You to look fabulous…" Jakkob said. Raviv nodded.
"Now get out there!" He yelled playfully. They followed order and walked onto the canvas.
"All you have to do is pose, kiss him cheek forehead vise versa. Not hard now… go!" Jakkob said. Aly giggled but snapped back into focus when she felt Raviv's arms tight around her. Right now, they were all that mattered.
