Seduction: The Taste of Lust

Chapter 23: shooting day

Veronica's POV

"Which one is my room?" 

"That one" Monica replies

"It's private right?" I ask and she simply nods,

I walk to the make-up room thanking Monica that she got me a private one. After last night's dream, I'm kinda beat and I needed to make sure I don't look tired or restless in any kind. I don't want to mess up my first shoot because of one dream.

I got inside the room and sat in front of the mirror looking at myself, although I didn't have any dark circles, my eyes still looked tired. I can't shoot like this, they'll know something is bothering me and Marlin is really strict it doesn't matter if she had a thing for me once but when it comes to work she is really professional.

I think I need some eyedrops and maybe a hot coffee.

I texted Monica to bring me the stuff while I try on some fittings for the shoot. This time she decided on a spring look so their crafting with fashion was very finessed.

Each look was well versed and they expected nothing but perfection which means me. Not mean to sound arrogant or something but when it comes to modeling I'm a perfectionist. If there's one thing I love about my life it's Modeling. 

Although I'm taking my time away from the runway shows doing cover shoots doesn't mean less work. I want to do everything perfectly and honestly. Opera decided to choose me for their newest collection in spite of the controversy that only means they know my worth or they are just playing loose ends with the rating stuff.

Either of those has me in it and that concludes my objective. A model, not more than that, not less than that.

I push back those insecure thoughts and focus on the hanger of dresses in front of me. Not that I don't enjoy any self-critical thoughts but right now I got a shoot and I can't afford to mess it up because of one lusty dream.

I focus my attention on the designer clothes making vivid attempts to forget about that dream, I don't know how am I supposed to face him after actually seeing the image of me and him on the bed.

As soon as I think about our position on the bed my heart immediately starts thumping and I feel like a seventeen-year-old girl who blushes when her crush's name is mentioned " get a grip Veronica" I bit my lip,

I walk to the other end of the room where all the dresses were placed and gently view them. 

Spring shirts, halter tops, off-shoulders, and other varieties of blouses were placed on the left side of the room. The pants collection was in the center and the right had jewelry. 

I've got my share of selected outfits starting from a wide collection of beautiful spring jackets, leather belts, colored scarves, knee boots separated from the lot. 

I gently stroke the fabric and feel the texture when I hear the door open and Monica comes into light followed by a few stylists. I softly greet them and take my stuff from Monica.

"Stay with me" I order

She stayed with me in the room while the stylists get me into this lemon color sundress. Soft fabric, beautiful color, and very light assuming the theme is spring.

They tried a couple of jackets on me to suit the background of the dress and decided to go with the white oversized jacket and matching boots

The hairstylist did my hair, attaching few hair extensions while the makeup artist powdered my face with light colors. 

I was sitting in the middle with my coffee as everyone tried to make me something I'm not. My hair was occupied, my eyes were closed as they applied eyeshadows on them. Marlin even comes to check the progress and orders few of her men to ready the next outfit,
