PEDRO'S BRITHDAY TODAY!!!!🎉🎉🎉

————————

I love Los Angeles. Full of people, joy, sun, and good feelings.

I arrived three days ago, it was quite difficult for me to separate from Pedro. Well. More to him than to me. He took me to the airport and of course photos of us appeared in the press again, but we don't even care about it anymore.

Today I have the interview with Vanity Fair, and of course I'm a little nervous...

"Good morning, my beautiful girlfriend". He answers to the second ringtone.

"Good morning love". I take a photo of the views of my hotel and send it to him. "I haven't shown you my views yet".

I hear a sigh. "Specify where you want me to look... You like to make me suffer".

"What are you saying?". I look at the photo again. "I didn't know I was going out there! My goodness, what a shame".

"Shame? You wanted to send me a photo with a view and you sent me a sculpture, nothing to be ashamed of". I'm not can't hold back my laughter. "Well tell me, are you nervous?".

"Very nervous, that's why I'm calling you" I left the phone hands free so I can choose my outfit for today. "I need to talk to someone".

"You have all my time, well not completely, but yes". Says in his own words. "Ale, you have already done it, they are more than interested in you".

I put my arms on my hips even though I know he can't see me. "You haven't made a certain call, do you?".

"I swear on my mustache that I haven't made any calls". A laugh escapes from me. "Trust yourself, really, show them who you are and what you know. What clothes are you going to choose if I may know?".

I take some clothes out of the closet and put them on the bed. "Can you help me choose?".

If there is something I can trust in Pedro, it is his style and his point of view. He knows how to dress when he wants, and he likes the indisutry .

"Of course, send me photos".

[...]

I'm in the Armani waiting room, there's only the receptionist, one other guy and me. I left the interview a while ago, and they told me to wait here. There were other people in the room, but some of them left as they finished...

"Miguel and Alessa". The door opens. "Guys, please come in".

"Go ahead" says the kind boy, letting me pass first.

We stand in front of the table where the interviewer is. "Well, I'm glad to be able to welcome you to the Armani team".

A gasp leaves my mouth and I put my hands to my face. "I can't believe it". I look at my new partner. "Congratulations!". I hug him.

"Likewise". He hugs me back.

"I want to tell you about your position in the company, you will work together". Sh looks at her computer. "You will join the fashion design team. Currently the team is made up of four people, whom you will join". Se looks at us. "You already know how this works, design, propose ideas and let the magic emerge".

"And what about working together?". Miguel asks.

"Correct, as you are new members, you will be working together for a period of time on a trial basis". She makes quotes with his fingers. "There are projects coming up now, and we need fresh and collaborative minds, I will send you an email with the following instructions".

"Thank you very much". Is the only thing I can say.

"And one last thing". She points out. "I will send you the location of our branches around the world, from what I have deduced from your interviews, you travel a lot, so you will be able to work from your computer anywhere, with the condition of always being available for any emergency". Says with a smile. "And you have a pass to enter our branches whenever you need it".

We said goodbye to the girl delighted. "I'm so excited".

"Is this your first job like this?". I deny. "Mine is, you'll have to teach me". He winks at me.

The boy is quite attractive, and he has a somewhat strange accent. "You can ask me whatever you want". I answer politely. "You have my phone, right?".

"Yes". He opens the door of the building to let me out. "Can I call you for anything?.

We started walking in the same direction. "Whatever you need".

"To have a coffee? Even to invite you to dinner?". His boldness disconcerts me a little. "I would love to get to know my new coworker a little more".

He relaxed me a little. "If you want, I'm free today".

"I'll take you to a place I know".

"Okay". I keep my hands in my pants pockets. "Are you from here?".

"No, it's a little complicated". He laughs lightly. "My mother is Argentine and my father is Colombian, but I was born in Brazil, although I grew up in Spain".

"Wow... You can say that you are from the world". I joke.

"I can lie about my origin". He sticks out his tongue. "I have come here for this interview only, although I have already come once".

"Are you staying too far away?".

"Actually my hotel is in the other direction, but I wanted to accompany you to your hotel so I know where to pick you up tonight".

I raise my eyebrows. "Very gentlemanly"

"With a beautiful girl like you, it's the least".

Was that a compliment? I don't think it's that bold...
