Say You'll Stay

Chapter Two

Layla’s P.O.V.

Getting ready for photo shoots have always been my favorite part of being a New York socialite. I just love the hustle bustle of everyone rushing around the studio preparing things for the long day ahead.  Anna and I walked through the busy hallway with our fabulous stylists in front of us to lead the way. When we came to the end of the hall, we parted ways and went into our separate dressing rooms. 

“Good morning Layla!” Travis, my flamboyant stylist, said while rushing me into my chair. 

“Morning Travis! So tell me, how was your weekend?” I responded with a smile as he began to work on my makeup.

“Oh just great honey, we got in some new samples in the closet on Saturday that are to die for! Oh before I forget, we need you to stay a little later than Anna! What about you? How was your morning?”

“Same as always, grumpy Anna listening to One Direction songs on the way here.”  I said with a little giggle.

Travis’s eyes went wide as he gasped, “No freakin’ way! One Direction is doing a photo shoot next door!”

I smiled in laughed as I formed a mischievous idea in my mind.

After my hair and makeup were finished, I waited patiently outside for Anna.  She walked out in a noticeably better mood and we were escorted down the hall to wardrobe.  We both got dressed in our hipster/bohemian outfits and started the photo shoot!

After the photo-shoot

“Great work girls!” our creative director said.

“Thanks Johnny!” We replied simultaneously.

 Johnny turned to me and said, “Alright now go take a break and get changed, be back in half an hour Layla!”

I smiled and nodded gratefully.

“Wait a second, what am I supposed to do while she’s in the photo shoot?” Anna asked.

 “Go to the lounge and chill, we don’t want you distracting her.” He laughed and walked away to talk to the stylist about my look.

 I took Anna’s arm and we exited the studio, heading for the lounge.  I smirked knowing who would be in there and I couldn’t wait to see her reaction.
