Ruslana Korshunova tribute photo shoot,
Saturday, 3:45
Manhattan, NYC
" No way! He did not say that! Gawd what a douche!" Claire yelled out. Her and Ellie were waiting in the elevator for Cam and Griffin, who were still walking through the spinning doors of Vogue magazine New York headquarters. Cam and Ellie had just started dating a few days ago, and Ellie was spilling all of the details of her last boyfriends break up.
Ellie's eyebrows raised and she shook her head up and down confirming his evil deed. Claire narrowed her eyes and shook her head in anger. " I hate it how guys think they can take advantage of us girls like that. Its so retarded." Ellie and Claire broke into another fit of laughter for no reason again. By now Cam and Griffin were closer to the girls. Claire and Ellie pressed the elevator door close button. Once the doors started closing, the boys ran to try to make it in. Claire and Ellie were practically on the floor laughing at their expressions. " Hey! Claire! Ellie! Stop! Hold the doors! Wait!" Cam yelled as the girls pressed the button over and over again out of amusement.
Luckily for the guys Ellie decided to stick her purse between the doors so they wouldn't close at the last minute. " That was so not funny. What would you have done if we couldn't get in the elevator?!" Cam huffed as he wrapped his arms around Ellie's waist. He glanced at Claire's reaction, but Claire was giggling at Griffin, who was messing with a strand of her blond hair. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. The second Claire and Ellie got out, Claire shrieked and jumped up and down. Everyone turned to face her in surprise.
" Oh my god! James is that you?! Alexander Prince?! Get over here you bitch!" Claire yelled as she ran into the arms of a gangly man about 6'3 with short ash blonde hair, and big green eyes. He hugged Claire tightly and surveyed her outfit. " You little bitch! Is that the new Alexander McQueen collection you are wearing?! I can't believe that you got those shorts. I ordered them and was put on the waiting list. And guess when the list ends? 2013. I know right? So I called his office and was like a total bitch to his secretary. Anyway, you look amazing! And look at you glow!" Alex droned in his strong British accent.
Claire rolled her eyes. " Shut up. As if I'm glowing." Alex arched an eyebrow. " Oh don't even go down that road. Honey do you know how many woman your age would pay millions of dollars for that skin?! Now introduce me to your little friends before I got mad and scream bloody murder." Claire laughed then lead Alex back to Ellie, Cam, and Griffin, who were all watching the encounter with curious eyes. " This is Ellie, Cam, and my boyfriend Griffin." Claire said as she slid out of Alex's grasp, and slid into Griffin's. Alex shook Cam's hand, and hugged Ellie. " Ellie I have a feeling that you, me and Miss PDA over there are going to be BFFs by the end of this shoot. BTW I'm your hair, makeup, and wardrobe artist." Alex said as he draped his arm over Ellie's shoulders. Claire broke free of Griffin and put her arms on both Alex and Ellie.
Cam and Griffin watched as Claire steered them over to the wardrobe to select clothes. Griffin turned to Cam. " Why are you trying to make Claire jealous with Ellie?" Cam was caught off guard by this question and he was taken aback. " What?! I would never do that! What gives you that idea?" He answered just a little too innocently. Griffin arched an eyebrow. " Really? Then why did you keep glancing at Claire every time you hugged and kissed Ellie?" Cam sighed. " Is it that obvious?" Griffin snickered. " You might as well have it written on your face its so obvious." Cam's shoulders sulked a little in defeat. " I just... I don't know man. Every time I think I'm over Claire she just has to come over and be breathtakingly beautiful and dazzling. And the thing that sucks the most is that she doesn't even know how much she tortures me just by hugging me!" Griffin stuffed his hands in his pockets and pondered for a few minutes.
" Well then why don't you just tell her then? Its not like she is gonna stop talking to you or something. You know that shes better than that." Cam started shaking his head while Griffin spoke. " See if I tell her than she would reject me and leave me bleeding. And I know it would be painful for Selena going back and fourth like that." Griffin turned to face Cam. " Do you even like Ellie? At all? Even just a little bit." Cam was taken by surprise at Griffin's sudden change of subject. " Well I mean not nearly as much as I like Claire, but yeah. I do. Why?" " Well then that should be enough. I can tell by the way that Ellie stares at you and the way she is always doing things for you, that she really likes you. A lot. So why don't you just focus more on Ellie instead of Claire? I'm not saying get rid of your feelings for Claire, just strengthen the ones with Ellie, and you might just get over Claire." Cam though about Griffins words for a moment, then looked up at Ellie.
She noticed him staring and she met his gaze with a happy smile and blew him a kiss. She then turned back to Claire and held up two dresses for Claire to decide. Cam began to suddenly see what Griffin was talking about. Ellie was always laughing and smiling, and she was so kind that sometimes it made Cam think she was stupid for giving homeless people so much change. She was definitely good looking. She was short and had curves in all the right places, she had a breathtaking smile, and her shiny black hair was cut into a sweet little bob. Her eyes were what mainly attracted Cam to her. They were almost as light green as Claire's were blue, and the were almond shaped. Her cheekbones were high and pronounced.
He kept staring at Ellie for the rest of the photo shoot. Claire and Ellie were both dressed in long gowns. Claire's black, Ellie's white. They had smudged black makeup all the way across their eyes and cheeks as if they had been crying, and their hair was all frizzy and crazy. The two of the sat slouched in old chairs and stared off into the distance. Ellie was a great actress so she had no problem pretending to cry. Even Cam had to admit how beautiful both the girls looked even in their current attire.
When the shoot was over, Claire, Ellie, and Alex exchanged numbers and hugged each other goodbye. When the couples jumped into the elevator, Ellie and Claire were oddly sober. Ellie was still crying a little, and Claire was hugging her. When they got back downstairs to the lobby, Ellie and Claire hugged each other and promised to call the other one as soon as possible. Ellie hugged Griffin goodbye and hugged Claire one more time. Claire approached Cam and gave him a friendly hug goodbye before breaking free and jumping into Griffin's wide arms, and kissing him. Cam tried not to focus on how much he wished that Claire would be doing that to him.
Cam was rendered out of his thoughts by Ellie grabbing his hand cautiously, and holding onto it as they walked out of the building. Cam looked down at her, and found that she was still sad from the photo shoot. This disturbed Cam for some reason, to see this sweet innocent woman sad over the death of someone she didn't even know that well. Cam wrapped his arms around Ellie's small shoulders and held her close to his chest for a few moments. Ellie was surprised at first, but then hugged him back while she cried into his shirt. Cam was suddenly aware of the camera flashes and the clicking that was coming from the bushes. Paparazzi.
Cam hailed a cab and steered Ellie into the cab and slid in after her. After they had driven away, Ellie smiled sheepishly. " Sorry about that. I shouldn't have cried like that. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you." Cam sighed. " Ellie you don't have to be sorry that you were crying. I wasn't actually embarrassed at all. I just thought there was a better place for you to cry besides the middle of the street." Cam smiled down at Ellie. She blushed and looked out the window.
Cam's stomach suddenly had butterflies. " Hey um do you want to go back to my place and watch a movie or something?" Cam stuttered. As soon as the words were out he felt stupid. Watch a movie in the middle of the day?! How much more stupid could he get?! But to his surprise Ellie actually laughed and turned to him. " You are so cute when you are nervous! Of course! I would do anything just to spend time with you Cam!" Ellie then cuddled into Cam's shoulder. Cam sighed happily and wrapped his arms around Ellie. Maybe Griffin was right. Maybe he could get over Claire.
I'M BACK!! And I'm not gonna go into detail about everything, but I had an amazing time! Dublin is fun to go shopping in. Especially if you have awesome Irish BFFs to do it with. Anyway long story short, Dublin rocked except for all the drunks wandering around the streets. Ireland is really sweet so go there or I'll kill you. JK! Ok so now about this chappie. Yeah I was like ' ok so Cam needs to realize how amazing Ellie is' so now that he likes Ellie I'm telling you now that there is no way in hell I'll ever get Cam and Claire back together, so if you are going to say in a review, ' Please let Clam re-unite!!' I'll just ignore you. So the story will be shutting down soon now that everybody is happy. Then next chapter should be the end of Claire's love triangle, and the next chapter after that will be focusing on Massie and Derrick and the rest of the PC.
REVIEW ME LOVES!!
