The red strings of the halter top I chose the other day sit tight around her long neck, her dark hair cascading around her shoulders in perfect voluminous curls that I'm certain took a significant amount of time to do. With the platforms she is wearing we are practically eye to eye, and both of our gazes are fully focused on one another. The flirty smile on my lips, that was first directed towards her best friend — who is so clearly interested in me — still on full display.

"Creo que ya os habéis pedido el uno al otro," Jesse announces from behind Gianna without trying to hide a bit of the amusement filling his voice, yet he was carefully studying both me and Gianna's behavior like he was actually waiting for something more. (I think you two have already called dibs on one another.)

I act as if I don't understand anything he is saying, to see how much more information I can gather. They obviously didn't bother to look my name up on the internet, otherwise, they'd have known Spanish is actually my first language. At least now I can use it to my advantage.

"Jesse!" Gianna finally breaks eye contact, looking back at her best friend with murder in her eyes.

"Okay, okay. Whatever you say," the six-foot-four model with probably the best cheekbones I have ever seen puts his hands up in the air announcing surrender, and I can't help but wonder how sincere his words are. And just a moment later he answers my unspoken question with a playful smirk on his lips.

So this is the one and only Jesse Diaz, unlike them, I took my time and Googled his name, and I gotta say, he seems like a very interesting person. He made cover in a different arrange of gossip magazines at least five times in the last year and let's say it wasn't exactly for his modeling career but for his rather active sex life. The most recent article is about him and Elliot Alister — nephew of a renowned businessman — found passionately kissing at an after-party that took hold a few weeks ago. That was the outing of Elliot's bisexuality to the world and the people didn't seem to take it lightly. Especially his family. However, that's not on Díaz so no judgment here. Frankly, I think we are going to get along just fine.

Or at least I hope so.

"So... are you two ready to go?" I ask the same question Gianna ignored no more than a minute ago, my smile now gone and my face back to my characteristic poker face.

"We need five minutes." Gianna does reply this time, taking Jesse's hand in hers and dragging him away towards what I imagine is her room.

"We will be back." Jesse mouths to me smiling as he doesn't fight Gianna's effort, allowing her to drag him toward, a safe assumption, her room.

Second later they disappear into the hallway and then I hear the soft noise of a door closing but instead of staying where I am, I let curiosity get the best of me and suddenly I am walking in the same direction they did. Stopping exactly at the point they disappeared and watching the door in front of me.
