"This is perfect! Ah! Give me another one...yes yes just like that! This is gorgeous Nevaeh!" The photographer yells towards Nevaeh as she hits different poses. "Ok great! Let's take 5 everyone!" He walks over to her applauding her. Nevaeh gets surrounded by the makeup artist and hairstylist touching her up."You've done it again darling!" . "What snatch your wig off?" She chuckled as she focuses on not moving for the makeup artist. "Yes that! And this photo shoot! Vogue is going to love this! This is definitely front cover worthy!" He exclaimed. Nevaeh had been given the opportunity to do a shoot for vogue magazine. "You really think I'll be able to be on the front cover of vogue this time?" Nevaeh asked as she now puts her attention to him. She's Been waiting for this moment to see her self on the front cover of a magazine. She does end up in the magazine itself but, never front cover. She's more excited about this than the build-boards of her that was put up all over New York last week.
"It better! I worked hard on these pictures! You worked hard on it too! I'd have to kill somebody if they don't take these pics.." the two laughed. "Thanks again for this.." she says. "Ah no thank you! I've been dying to find such a beautiful girl to work with ah! I can't wait to work with you again darling!" He says in awe.
"Ah me toooo!" "Hugs!" The two hugged and giggled. "Olright people let's get show on the road we got some more fire pictures to take let's go let's go!"
.After the shoot
Nevaeh heads to her favorite lunch spot after her shoot. She walks in,orders her usual and goes upstairs of the cafe to enjoy her meal in her favorite spot. She pulls out her laptop and goes through her emails. "Oh shoot! I got accepted! Let's gooo" Nevaeh says excited. She had applied for different agencies for modeling. But surprisingly got accepted to the one she really wanted to work for. LINE ENT. She's worked really hard to be where she is today.
Suddenly, she gets a call from her mother. She answers. "Hey baby!" The woman on the other line looks rather joyful seeing her beautiful daughter on the other side of the screen. "Hey ma!". "How's New York doing you?" Nevaeh smiles and continues. "It's great ma, I just finished a shoot with vogue, There's build-boards of me up and running...and..." Nevaeh paused and smiled at the camera. "Girl what?! Spit it out now" her mother says waiting for her to continue sentence. Nevaeh laughs and continues. "Ok ok ok! I got accepted into LINE ENT.!"
Her mother looked in shocked and in disbelief. "No you didn't?! You did!? Ahhhh!!!" Her mom began to hop around for her. "I know I know! I want to show my excitement to but I'm in public ha..". "Ahh my baby I'm so proud of you! Wow. I gotta tell ya father...you've been waiting for this moment...it's finally here.." her mother looks at Nevaeh and smiles. "Ah thanks ma..yeah I still can't believe it's real...". "Well you betta believe it baby because it's real! And you gotta keep your head up! Don't let nobody in that industry tear ma baby down. You are a strong black woman! You hear me?! You are strong an-" Nevaeh then Interrupts her mother before she goes in any further. Plus people around her started to stare a bit. " Ah t-thanks ma! Thanks! FaceTime audio is pretty loud heh.. and I'm still in public so...I-I'll talk to you later?" "Ok ok bye..I love you!" Her mom says. "Love you too ma!". After their conversation Nevaeh gathers her belongings and heads out.
At the library
Nevaeh makes it to the local library near where she's staying at. She visits the library often to read some of her favorite novels or just to get away from the busy streets of New York. It's more quiet and calm here. She heads over to the sci-fi section to see if they have any of her favorite book series. She scans the selves carefully not missing any books as she reads the titles. She sees the book that she's been looking for and goes to grab it, only for it to not move.
She tries again and notices that someone on the other side is trying to grab it. They let go and Nevaeh grabs the book trying to see who's on the other side. She makes eye contact with a tall white man with dark hazel eyes and brown hair. He slightly glares her down. The two just stares at each other. Then Nevaeh breaks the silence while still being silent. "Sorry...did you want this book?~" She whispered. The man then moved the rest of the books that were on shelf out of his way and leaned in to get a better look of her. "No, but I'd rather have you...~" his deep voice was like music to Nevaeh's ears. She didn't even realize what he said. "I'm sorry what?~" She chuckled and looked at him more examining his face. Nevaeh took in his features and noticed he has a few scars on his face, especially one noticeable on his cheekbone. He still looked super handsome.
"I said yes I'd love too, but you seem more eager to have that book than I am.~" He smirked making Nevaeh smile. He definitely didn't say that but, she's letting it slide. "Yes, I am eager about it...it's actually one of my favorite novels...~" he smiles at her. Nevaeh looks away shyly from his gaze. She then looked back at him and continues to speak softly. "Do you like this series too?~". "I do actually, I read it all the time on my free time. When I get the chance...~" he chuckled. Nevaeh chuckled along with him. "Ah sorry I should introduce myself since we're still talking, heh I'm Nevaeh..you are?" The man smiled down at her still peeping through the book shelves.
"Im Alec,...it's nice to meet you Nevaeh.."
