The Next Campaign - Romeo Beckham

|| 01 ||

I walked home from school one day, expecting to be home alone. Harper was at ballet, my mum and dad were in New York, Brooklyn was at school and Cruz was at soccer. That's typically how Monday nights go for me. With the occasional hour of homework or hanging out with friends.

As I opened the door, I was surprised to see my mom and dad sitting on the couch. It looked like they were having a serious conversation.

"Hey..." I started, "How was New York?" I asked.

"It was good." My mum replied. I saw my parents look at each other for a moment before glancing back at me. "We got a letter from Burberry today. They want you to model for another campaign."

"Oh really? That's a good thing, isn't it?"

"Yes it is, the only problem is, your mum and I are suppose to be in California that week." My dad stated.

"Oh, okay." I was usually excited to have my parents watch me act for Burberrys campaigns. But usually my mom tries to take over, and it's really embarrassing.

I was halfway up the stairs to my bedroom when I heard my mum call out,

"Start packing, Romeo, it starts tomorrow."

I smiled to myself. This was going to be enjoyable.

Last night I finished packing, and we had to wake up at 3:00am for the airport. We checked through security and got on flight, safely. When we landed we got escorted to our hotel. It was huge! I had a king sized bed and everyone. After a few hours of settling in my mum got a call from her managed saying that she needed to be in California now. Before she left, she introduced me to some guy named Christian Domolo.

"Hi, Romeo, we're so glad you could join us today," Christian started, "Please take a seat and I'll explain to you what our vision is for this Campaign."

So I did as he said, surprising, I know! I followed him into a big office that looked as if it was used for meetings. It had huge windows and spinny chairs too. Spinny chairs, make everything better.

"So, what we envisioned for this campaign is that typical boy/girl love story. You will be working with a girl, named Mia Chaser. She's been in Hollister campaigns before, I'm sure you'll like her." Christian said to me with a wink. "Anyways, I'm sure you know what I mean by typical love story. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, they do some other things. You get the picture. Cara Delevingne will be in this shoot as well. You've worked with her before, haven't you?"

I stuttered at my answer, "Um, yeah." I said feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Okay, great. Let's take you downstairs to fitting, and then you're free to do whatever you want." Christian said, standing up. He walked over to the door and led me towards a room entitled 'fitting'

Pretty accurate, I guess. The lady who measured me was about 25. She looked nervous to be around me too. Brooklyn can always sweet talk girls like this into liking him. He's good at flirting on the spot. I however, suck at it. So I just stood there not saying anything as she measured me, then wrote it down.

"Okay, you're all good!" She smiled and gestured towards the door. I took that as a hint to walk out and find my way back to my room.

As I was walking out of the building, my mom texted me saying they safely landed. When suddenly I was soaked with a substance of liquid. I looked up to see who did it, and it looked to be a girl about my age. She was shorter then me, which obviously wasn't hard considering I'm pretty tall. I expected an apology for soaking me wet on such a cold day in New York.

"Watch where you're going." The girl, with blonde wavy hair said rudely.

"Mia!" Her mother called, "I apologize on her behalf." And her mother walked away too.

I'm glad, I'll never have to see her again.

I spoke to soon.
