Chapter 5
When West and I arrived at the photo shoot, the scene changed from fun time to the time to get in a serious mood. We walked into the photo shoot on time, and I was immediately taken to hair and makeup. My wig, glasses, and fake nose were all taken off by my stylist. My blond hair was quickly straightened and then left with a messy look. The man in charge of my outfits quickly handed me the new Perfect Shape bra by Victoria's Secret and a matching pair of panties before directing me to the changing room.
I changed out of my baggy clothes and into the red and blue bra set. I immediately loved the way it looked on me. I stepped out of the dressing room and my hair stylist, Jennifer, gushed at the look.
"You look fabulous!" Jennifer said as she pulled at pieces of my hair a bit, trying to keep the messy look.
"Thanks! Isn't this bra adorable? The world is going to buy this up," I said.
"At least you get to keep it," Jennifer said, pouting.
"They'll be out on the market soon enough," I said.
"Good point. On the bright side, we get first dibs," Jennifer said, finally removing her hands from my hair.
"Lucky, you're in room A today for the photo shoot, so hurry. We have to get started if you don't want to get home late," Caitlin, the photographer ordered.
Once I reached room A, I noticed the walls were completely white and there was furniture in the room.
"You ready to get started?" she asked.
"More ready now than ever," I said and Mary sent me a thumbs up from the back of the room.
"Okay, great! Now, for this first one, I want you to go for the sexy look. I mean, this is lingerie after all," she said with a comfortable smile.
I didn't say anything as I posed, biting my lip while scrunching up my hair with my left hand.
She took a hundred shots as I constantly did different poses before instructing me to go change into the next set ready for me in the dressing room. The next bra was a normal push-up bra.
"Now, for this one, I want you to show us who Lucky is. Show us you," she instructed and I nodded.
There were only twenty more sets, some pajamas, others swimsuits, but most of them ended up being just lingerie.
Surprising? I know.
"As always, you can take home everything you modeled today," Mary said, not even looking at me as she texted away on her phone.
I didn't respond as I packed up my belongings, throwing my new clothes into the bag I was given and throwing my school stuff in my book bag.
"I'm ready," I said, opening the curtain as I wore nothing but my black sleep romper with a printed kimono. I was only going home and since it was already ten at night, I didn't really expect any more paparazzi to be hanging around.
"Clove, I don't know how you do that for a living. I mean, I was bored after five minutes," West said, throwing an arm over my shoulder.
I snorted. "Please, if I wasn't your cousin and was some other pretty model then you would've been watching me the whole time instead of your phone."
He couldn't hold back the smile from his face since he knew I was right.
Mary decided to finally look up from her own phone and she plastered a smile on her face. "Good job today."
"Thanks," I said with a small smile of my own. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Don't forget, tomorrow you have a photo shoot at six, so you'll have a few hours to yourself after school, but I expect you to be jogging at 4:30. We need some new cover photos that aren't located on a Victoria Secret catalogue." She checked her watch and put her own bag over her shoulder. "Look your best and be prepared for the paparazzi. I expect you to be on time for that," Mary said before doing the la bise, also known as the little kiss-kiss thing on both cheeks. "Bye, darling."
"Of course, you will," I mumbled as she walked away.
West coughed loudly, covering up the laughing fit he was having from my little comment.
"You poor thing. I don't know how you deal with that bitch either." He shook his head as he led me out to the car.
"Trust me when I say it takes lots of work. I mean, she's supposed to be my agent, not my friend, so it's what I signed up for when I hired her."
He suddenly looked at me with wide eyes. "Hey, how about we go to that diner near your place? I haven't been to that place in forever."
My own eyes brightened at the thought of the great burger joint nearby. "Mary would kill me if she found out I went there."
"Live a little," he said as we got in the car. "We'll stop at home so you can change into some clothes that won't make a man get a hard-on and then we'll head up there."
I tried to ignore the pleading look he was giving me but eventually decided to give in.
Why not? It's been awhile since I've been there, and West is only here for the night so I might as well do something fun with him.
"Fine, but you're paying," I said.
He made his hand into a fist, pulling his arm toward him, signaling his happiness. "Yes, I could really go for one of those greasy burgers."
I couldn't help but agree. Greasy food sounded amazing right now.
It didn't take long for me to get home and change into a pair of plaid pajama pants and a tank top before we were left again, arriving at the burger joint in less than five minutes.
The place luckily ended up being completely empty besides the employees and a few stray people who were either eating or drinking a coffee as they read today's newspaper.
"Hey, welcome to Kell's Burger! Can I start you guys with anything to drink?" the waitress asked while taking out two menus and placing them in front of us.
"Just a water is fine," I said politely and she nodded, not losing the smile on her face.
"And for you?" she asked West.
"I'll take the same," he replied, looking down at the menu.
"Sounds good. I'll be back with those in a minute. Feel free to take your time and check out the menu while I'm gone," the waitress said.
I made sure to thank her before looking at the food on the menu.
