Greetings, voyagers! How was it? I'd like to know your reactions so don't be shy and comment your thoughts and assumptions about this chapter. See you guys in the next chapter! Bon voyage!
"What happened to your eyes? Your eyelids seem off. Did you cry?" Madethy asked when I opened the door for her as she knocked. I thought it wasn't noticeable. Damn. I need to act normal. I ought to finish this instead of breaking down in fear and resentment. I gotta move forward but it isn't easy. I need to take it easy but I shouldn't let my past intervene with my future. I shook my head, declining my assumptions. "It's normal. My eyes get puffy when I don't get enough sleep or when I sleep too late," I explained. That's true, though. I don't know if I lied or told the truth; maybe, half? She nodded, buying my half-lie, half-truth. "Gheuver told me to check on you and to remind you about the call time. You know him. Though, even if he didn't tell me, I'll still check on you," she smiled and me either. "Thanks," I replied. "Are going to dine in here?" she asked. "I won't, Dria and the others invited me. Would you like to join us?" I offered so she won't get bored with Gheuver. Kn
"SWEETHEART, you're undeniably charismatic!" Andrus' voice echoed inside the whole room. I awkwardly replied with a smile. Krestie clapped her hands while gazing at my face as if she was satisfied with her work. "I have never loved my profession this much," she mumbled. "I guess, her face is inspiring just as her roots." I don't know how to respond to their unusual comments that's why I acted like it was nothing and just stood up to get dressed. "I have to go, I need to get dressed. Thank you, I really appreciate it!" Andrus and Krestie came closer to hug me and tried to calm my nerves as much as they could to relieve the so-called nervousness. Soon after their hug, the other hair stylist hugged me as well while whispering their encouraging words. I really appreciate these people even though I'm not comfortable with their previous comments, though they look like a compliment. "Is this your first runway walk? Gosh, you must be nervous!" "Girl, I'm telling you! You'll manage to p
"Damn, girl! Are you sure that this is your first runway walk?" "Fuck! You slayed it!" "I'm telling you, girl! This is the beginning! Don't forget me, huh!" "SHEEZ! I actually got scared..." Those are the words I heard when I entered backstage along with other models. They were beaming with such delights while praising my walk which surprised me. I never got this reaction from a crew when I was still doing runway modeling... Though some of them weren't as happy as they are, these actions and reactions fluttered my heart. The was coming to its end. I could hear Gheuver out on stage, speaking for his brand. He never told me about this, I should be mad but surprisingly, I'm far from being mad. Honestly, I'm actually proud of how successful this show turned out, and I'm rooting for his success, as a designer not only as a professional photographer. We've been together since that day when no one even cares about me, my side, my story. Though he didn't pretty focused on my past, I'm th
"Am I still adorable?" With a seductive and a hint of viciousness, I began to take off what I am currently wearing. However, before my bra showed up, Hazard took off his extravagant-looking blazer and hurriedly covered my body, earning a cute grunt from me. "Bummer," I murmured. "Have you gone mad?" he asked, almost shouting as he kept on covering my body using his expensive-looking apparel. "Maybe, I do. How about you?" I'm literally exasperated, not only because I had turned out to be tangled with their fucked up relationship but also rather because he seems to be flirting with me willingly while he's in a freaking relationship. I liked him as a person when I encountered him several times but seeing his doings recently, I don't think I'd still like to befriend him. "What?" "I don't like repeating what I have already pertained to, suit yourself." I rolled my eyes as I turned my back from him and was about to leave but I stopped. "Ah, another thing, stop flirting with me because
It's so cold... "Why the fuck am I even participating with your far from bizarre plan? Please, wake me up from this shit." Did I close the blinds and window earlier? Why is it so breezy? "Shh! Shut the fuck up! You'll wake her up, you moron!" "Why are you guys even fighting? Both of you do not make sense at all. Bickering with your fists will just make things worse. " "Jesus, help me. " "Go and ask for your lord. What was his name again? Was it Lucifer? A heavenly demon? King of hell? Correct me if I'm wrong, though. Promise, I don't mean it." Silence..." I actually do." I squinted my eyes because of how noisy it is. Once again, my eyebrows were quarreling with each other. "Fuck! These two won't even shut up for at least a minute!" What the fuck? I opened my eyes but my eyesight was overcome by darkness. I couldn't see anything aside from a black and some weird white spots. My brows furrowed more. For some reason, some parts of my body itch that are why I scratch some partic
"Here comes our lovely patient—oh my god!" "What happened?" "She really does look like a patient right now. Am I just seeing things or my eyesight is fucked up enough?" We went passed from Andrus' and his close staff's table. Krestie were also with them. She literally eyed me from head to toe. Merian, Krestie's assistant stood up while holding a cocktail. She could barely walk that's why Marzus, her gay friend and also a make-up artist, stood up and assisted her. Kahale went to help them because Marzus wasn't in his normal state as well. "Rhounzi, the most fierce woman I have ever met aside from my aunt, here's a drink for you!" Merian exclaimed as she offered me the cocktail she was holding. I was about to accept it but another hand took it before I could grab it. I stared at Kahale, surprised by her unforeseen action. She drank it all up in one gulp while her eyes are fixated on someone from the dance floor. I couldn't perceive what or who she was looking at but I know for sure
I narrowed my eyes, trying to understand what he meant. I never knew that drinking could be this splendid. I feel like I'm on drugs even though I never tried it. I just feel... Happy! I want to sing... ...to dance and... The music's beat changed into a different one. From a hype and punk one, it suddenly became hot and steamy. My hips automatically moved on their own while following their own choreography, ignoring the man's complaint. "I want a hug..." A kiss... I want to be clingy and touchy... My hands traveled on their own; from touching my hair, It went down to Hazard's abdomen while I leaned on him as I continue my little dance. Before I could touch what I wanted to feel on my hands, my vision became blurry, which made me flinch for a second; giving him an opportunity to slip away from my touch. Before I could recover, I felt myself floating from the ground. My eyes grew bigger due to excitement. I'm floating! My hopes were crushed into pulp when everything suddenly r
HAZARD "Sir, Senator's daughter is requesting your presence." Hazard sighed, slightly irritated. "See her out," he answered while eyeing the papers that he just received from that person. He doubts that this is given to him without expecting for any exchange, there must be something they seek from him. "She says that she isn't leaving without you, sir." His secretary answered, he could hear her voice from the intercom. "Tell him that his girlfriend is here to see him! Let me in or you're dead!" "Ma'am, we cannot do that. You need an appointment with—" "I'm his freakin' girlfriend! Why do I need such a thing!" He sighed heavily, putting the papers down. \ Ah, why is she so noisy? He stood up and left his office with annoyance visible on his face. "Hazard! Fire this bitch immediately! She won't let me in!" His brows furrowed from her statement. "What are you here for?" He asked, removing the annoyance on his face with a blank expression. "We have a date today, don't you rem

My whole day has been busy since we landed in a different country. I didn't even bother asking what country this is as I have been too preoccupied. Good thing, everything was already prepared. We already had a place to reside while we were staying here. Gheuver already took care of everything or perhaps, Madethy did? Gheuver seems pretty close with our agency's owner. I stared at the vast ceiling while my mind ran around, trying to think of anything in order to defeat that so-called boredom. I can just use my phone but it's not even interesting. I don't use social media but I have my own accounts even though I don't use them. I only created one because we need it as per what Gheuver and our manager stated, to create a better audience. I have only opened my social media accounts once and that's when I created them. I don't want to post my pictures but Minnette said that it is required for us, so we can promote our agency and the products that were modeling for. As much as possible, I
