" Alex, this is your last outfit. Make sure everyone's eyes are on you. I want you in magazines and on billboards. This is the travel theme of Louis Vuitton," Mr. Pierce said. I walked out onto the runway showing off the last outfit. I made sure all angles of the wardrobe were taken. I want to be in magazines and on billboards. I worked too hard for it and I believe I deserve it.
I feel this sharp tension between someone in the crowd. I looked out and made eye contact with the most beautiful eyes in the crowd. I wished I could have a longer look, but I turned around and made my way backstage.
" That was fucking amazing," Mr. Pierce said as he held both of his hands up for high-fives and I gave them to him. The director and artist of the collection walked out to close out the show. I will definitely be waiting on my paycheck and email for the next show which is in the fall. I think it will be in New York, my dream home one day, I went to the dressing room to get undressed. I placed everything on a hanger and packed up my things. I put on an oversized sweatshirt and some leggings. I turned out the light and headed out. Maria one of my friends came up to me.
" Girl, I can't wait for you to be successful one day."
" Same, Mr. Pierce said I may be on a billboard. They got every angle and my face. I am guaranteed it," I said as we walked down the long hall. Kameron should be out by the side waiting for me. Mariana walked into another dressing room probably to another friend. That's when I saw the same beautiful eyes that I saw in the crowd.
A nice tall man standing against the wall. His phone in his left-hand hair is tasseled with but still looks neat. He was dressed in a tuxedo maybe he is a businessman. He looks like he is made out of money, but I won't bother. One thing about those eyes they look very familiar, but I don't recall seeing him. His eyes were on me no one else was in this hall, but us.
" Hello, I am Giovanni Gambino," He said and held out his hand. " Hi, I am Alex D'Cruz, but I am pretty sure you know that already," I said with a small smile. My phone started to buzz which is Kameron who is rushing me, but I ignored it.
" I wanted to say I watched you tonight and I believe you did a wonderful job tonight. One of the most gorgeous ones out there, Mio Amore," He said with an Italian accent. he is definitely from Italy no denying that. " You have a wonderful accent and thank you. I hope to be on a billboard or a magazine cover one day. I want to be one of the top models in the world. What do you do?" Small talk turned into getting to know each other.
