From rags to riches, or something of that sort.
Courtney's life takes a dramatic turn for the better when she gets tangled up in the Martinez lives. But when she falls in love with Eric, his jealous ex and overbearing mother threaten to ruin any...
"We meet again" Mr Kelvin smiles as we once again find ourselves on a call with Morcé.
"Hope it'll be worth it this time" Clinton speaks up
"Hopefully" He adjusts his suit, sitting up straight "We've decided to go with what you want"
"$150 thousand?" I ask and Mr Kelvin nods
"Yes, Miss Jones. The shoot week is fast approaching so we have to start finalizing deals."
Morgan smiles "that's not a problem then, we'll get straight to work."
Mr Kelvin nods, adjusting his posture "I'm hoping there would be no disappointments."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes, does he think he's talking to amatures?
"We're MFE's Fashion Designers" Clinton points out "if we weren't good, you wouldn't pay so much, now would you?"
Mr Kelvin gives a slight nod "Alright then, I think that's all"
They all stand up, giving Morgan handshakes before the meeting comes to an end.
I close my laptop and let out a sigh, picking up my phone and checking the time.....My 'date' with Eric is tonight.
With that little tension still lingering in the air, I really don't know how it'll turn out, but I'm hoping for the best.
Let's do some minor prepping, shall we?"
~°~
I left my sleeping mini me with my sleeping Sophia while I go out to get my manicure done.
I stroll along, not interested in using a driver because my legs work perfectly. I scroll through Pinterest for inspirations when I accidently bump into something coming out of the nail salon.
"Well" She says, adjusting her bag and staring at me from head to toe.
"Well hello to you too" I try to walk past her but she didn't let me through
"We haven't seen in a year and you want to just run away, again?"
"You and I aren't exactly friends, Theresa"
She shrugs "I guess so" then she looks at me from my head to my toes again "What was that you pulled at Eric birthday?"
I raise a brow at her "I was only asked to come, how's my showing up any of your business?"
"Stop trying to creep your way back into Eric's life just because you think you've made some sort of name for yourself"
I let out a dry chuckle, pushing few strands of my hair behind my ear "T, I'm not trying to do anything. What Eric and I had and funny enough still have, isn't something I have to stress for" I point out "you had a year to claim the spot you think you have, but where are you now? Still begging for him to bat an eyelid your direction."
She stared dead at me, shooting daggers at me with her eyes
A small smile forms on my face "Please, excuse me"
I walk past her and into the salon. I don't know what everyone have against me when it comes to Eric, but I do know one thing.
If Eric and I were to ever become an item again, no one is getting in between.
~°~
"So, are you guys getting back together or what?"
I let out a sigh and place my powder brush down "I never said we were, we're just going for dinner to talk things out"
"Will you tell him about Natalie?"
I turn to her before slowly turning back to the mirror
"I don't..... I'll try"
I'm not certain if I want him to know yet, but he really needs to know about her....maybe I'll bring it up while we're talking.
I run my finger through my hair before getting up
"How do I look?"
Sophia smiles "as beautiful as always"

I feel my phone vibrate....it was Eric. I walk up to Natalie who was asleep, placing a kiss on her cheek before heading out.
