Snow White & the Billionaire Prince

Chapter 3

I thought this song would fit the "runway" scene later in this chapter. ❤️

Scarlet seemed completely normal for the rest of her first day here at the studio. We worked diligently together for my collection, and sometimes my mother would have her run errands.

Although, her cheeks were always flustered when we were in a room alone.

Could it be that she's having the same nervous feelings as I was?

"Scarlet..." I stopped her from sketching as she looked up at me.

"Hm?"

"I want to apologize..." I began. She gave me a look of confusion.

"What do you have to be sorry for?" She asked.

"For um, this morning. I acted weirdly." I didn't want to look her in the eyes. It was silent for a moment until she gave out a sigh.

"I-It's alright." I looked up to see her looking back at me with a gentle smile.

I smiled and she went back to cleaning up her work table.

"I was wondering if you to um...", I got her attention once more, "if you'd like to..." I paused.

"If I'd like too...?" She asked giving me another look of confusion. Come on man, ask her out already.

"If you'd like to...come with me to my mother's fashion show tomorrow night? It's a small line for some critics she's trying to impress." Ah damn, I didn't do it.

"Oh sure! That sounds fun." She replied. Oh thank god.

"I'll meet you there. What time does it start?" She added.

"Oh I can pick you up, say 8 o'clock?" I insisted.

She nodded. "Perfect."

We had exchanged numbers and she packed up some things in her purse before heading out.

I couldn't have asked her out on a date. We've only just met today. Not yet. Tomorrow night wouldn't be a date, will it?

❁ Scarlet ❁

I had a day off the next day so I spent my morning shopping for something to wear to the fashion show. It would also be a good chance to get to know Paris a bit more.

Once I got home I literally spent about an hour just picking out an outfit from my closet. I had piles of clothes scattered across my bed.

I checked my phone to take a step back from being in a frustrating state. (This is literally me on the weekends.) I turned on my lock screen to reveal a text message from Caleb.

From: Caleb
Looking forward to tonight. I'll pick you up in a bit. What's your address?

To: Caleb
Same here! He's my address.

I attached a file for directions with my text and sent it. In a second he replied back.

From: Caleb
Great, thanks.
