The Pretty Girl

Rationalizing

Adeline had to postpone going to Kai's shop to the next day. She had forgotten she was going to be flown into providence for a shoot at the boats for Dolce and Gabbana's new perfume. She would spend the night in the best 5 star hotel they had and then fly back the next day. She was disappointed just annoyed it added another thing in her long list to do. John told her it was fine and just scheduled her for the next day. So now Adeline was in Providence.

Sadly Anastasia would also be around as an extra in the commercial after photography of Adeline and what ever male model they chose for her. Adeline was hoping to avoid her like the plague. The girl made her want take out her eardrums. Her constant remarks and her interest in Adeline's life made her someone she didn't want to share space with...ever. Being around models like her was so draining.

Adeline sat on her sofa and munched on some fruit and drank some water to settle down. She was exhausted this morning and had so much to on her mind. Her eyes fleeted to the man walking over to her with a mullet and dressed head to toe in Versace. She could see someone wheeling a lavender jumpsuit behind him but she was hidden by him. Marcov was a few inches shorter than the height of Adeline so they must have been a pretty short person.

"Adeline lovely to see you again. Before we get started I just wanted to introduce you to our intern photographer here Dantia! She's brilliant and I have high hopes for her." Marcov smiled. Dantia peered from behind him. She really was short. She had deep rich black skin, her hair was buzzed and she big eyes and soft facial features that made her look younger. She looked like...a nice person?

For some reason Adeline found herself extending her hand. Strange...

"Adeline Jones." She introduced herself. The girl was practically going to rip her arm off with how enthusiastically she shook back. "I know who you are! I can't believe I'm seeing you in person! I am so so so honored to be on set with you today." She could tell she was enamored with her work as a professional but at the same time she didn't seem like she was a boot licker or a worshipper. Dantia was kind of endearing.

"Dantia is so sweet you'd think she's 17 but she's 27!" He laughed. She did look young but her eyes held some experience and time that Adeline could relate to. "I'll leave you to get ready, I just know you don't like the distraction of strangers when you are shooting so I thought I would introduce you." Marcov smiled before ushering Dantia off.

Dantia waved and Adeline found her self giving her a wave back. The girl lit up with a wide smile. Adeline supposed she was treating the girl as a teenage when she was actually only 2 years younger. But she still felt so beyond her years compared to her peers.

She thought nothing more and ate one last grape from her cluster before she flagged down her stylists. She was ready to go.

Adeline was ushered to her prep site as they began to get her in the makeup and clothes they wanted. She felt like she was being poked in every direction but made the deliberate decision not to complain...this time. Next time they weren't going to be so lucky.

She could not wait to get out of Rhode Island and be back in New York. But she couldn't complain too much. They could have shipped her to California and soon enough they would. She knew that much. She was lucky with her demands of being kept on the east coast but there were great opportunities overseas and in the west that she had committed to.

"We ready to shoot?" Marcov called out. Adeline looked to her stylists who stopped messing with her long flowy dress and helped her on to the sailboat where her co model Jaimie Nordham was seated.

Jaimie was a handsome man. Tall blonde with green eyes but to Adeline he looked like every other man in Hollywood. She tried to see what made the others go crazy for him when there was seven others who looked like him. Maybe it was his slight boyish charm he still had. "Ready? Alright you two give me some action."
