The Right Timing - Jenna Ortega X Female reader

ONE ON ONE

y/n POV.

Going to sleep that night was harder than expected. After showering I got ready for bed, brainstorming questions to ask Jenna for tomorrow. Usually the agency gives me a standard list of questions that everyone has to follow but Leigh gave me freedom on this one because of how happy she was with my efforts yesterday. To say that I didn't feel weird, that I was going to have to act as if nothing happened was a lie. I know it's going to be weird, and it's probably going to be awkward. But i'm probably overthinking it, after all, she kissed me. This was my biggest opportunity so far in my career that I wanted to make it as interesting as possible. If there's one thing I cant stand it's boring interviews with short answers.

It's currently 7am, the sun is streaming through the windows as the blue skies have already formed. I was soaking it all in. And then reality hit. So I peeled back the crisp white sheets of my king bed and got changed into yesterdays clothes. Not bothering to do anything except put my hair in a bun, I was out the door. It's mission time. Find a cute as fuck outfit for today. I was going to spoil myself because I think I deserve it. Heading down to the lobby to the front desk I asked the lady if there were any good clothing stores around. "MosserRoth Mall, about a 10 minute drive over the bridge." she politely informed me. "thank you so much" I replied.

Today I think i'm going to walk. It's still early, how could I not soak up this sunshine? Putting my headphones in and getting the directions on the map, I directed myself to MosserRoth. The strip of stores was beautiful, some high end and some that looked in budget. But of course, I said I was going to spoil myself. I entered a store simply called, Scarlett. Sounds kinda kinky, but I checked it out anyway.
"Hi there, Welcome to Scarlett! it's not usual we get customers at this time but i'm happy to help with whatever you need." a woman who's name tag read 'Lauren' said. "thank you Lauren. Well actually, that would be most helpful. I'm here in search of an outfit for today and my headspace isn't the greatest to think right now." she laughed. "is there anything in particular you're looking for? any colors you like?" she said. "hmm well, i'm a journalist, but I don't like to look too businesslike.. formal, but laid back. if that makes sense." she took what I said on board and started to pick out some clothes. then my phone rang.

"hello?" I picked up.
"bitch, GUESS WHAT!" it was Jesy.
"Jesy, hey, what's up?" I replied.
"I know it's early but i'm not going to apologize for the news i'm going to share. I got told what the special occasion for work is!" she said ecstatically.
"i'm listening.."
"will you, y/n, y/l/n accompany me to the exclusive showing WITH the cast.. of Wednesday, at Picture in Picture, tonight?! ahhh!"
"they're coming to your work?!" I said surprised
"YES! apparently it was organized as a special thing for a few local cinemas. they are going to show the first episode and the cast will be there! but it's not going to be streamed or anything like that. it's a private thing and it for employees and immediate family, or a plus one only!... and I want you there with me!"
any excuse to see Jenna again. hmmm.
"okay, i'm in.. what the dress code?"
"really just whatever you want, but i'm going sexy for when I see Jenna again." she said
I laughed. "don't you think everyone is going to be all over her?" I replied. And I wasn't going to tell her the events of late last night, not yet. I saw Lauren standing there with an outfit she had picked. I signaled to her I wont be a second.
"probably, but I don't care. I wanna look good." she stated
"okay, sexy vibes. I can get with that. i'm actually at a clothes store right now trying to get an outfit together for today, so I may as well kill two birds with one stone. do you want me to text you what I get?" I asked.
"duh, absolutely!"
"cool, i'll text you. I gotta go."
"8pm y/n! i'll see you later." and with that I ended the call.

"sorry about that." I said feeling bad making her wait. "that's okay, you're the only one in here anyway." she laughed, then continued. "seeing as you didn't give me a color palate I just picked out something I thought would suit you." she said. "perfect! oooo I LOVE that! let me try these on. oh and whilst I do that.. I actually need another outfit, it's for tonight.. i'm thinking super sexy." I smiled and she handed me the clothes so I could go try them on and she went off on a search for tonight's outfit. What she gave me was simple, yet I feel so sexy in it. I don't usually wear shorts to work but I couldn't say no to this. "Hey Lauren?" I said as I walked out of the dressing room. "how can I help?.. wow you look stunning in that! I have the perfect accessory actually." she went to get something and came back with a little white bag. "ugh, that's perfect" she said. "I love it so much. would you be able to take a photo of me so I can send it to my friend? I want her opinion on it" she agreed and I handed my phone to her. Lauren snapped the picture and I created a new message to Jesy.
