Picture Perfect

Chapter Ten: Doughnuts, Pretty Girls and Confessions

Oliver Valdez
I joined the mob as I strolled amidst Time Square. I actually had to be present in Francis' conference with George and Terrence but I downright failed to remember that I had to serve the food. I peered around and agreed to get donuts from the newly opened Krispy Kreme at the corner. I mean c'mon who doesn't love donuts? I impatiently waited for the lengthy line but the service was kind of slow. To be honest I wish I was a big celeb like Francis. I could've finished ordering by now and they would rush the box if I was a singer.

Fortunately the line began moving forward and because of the person behind me that shoved his way past the individuals, I unintentionally whacked a girl down to the floor.

"Oh no, are you hurt?" I utter, pulling her by the arm.

"I'm fine, I'm quite strong actually." She laughed.

She was undeniably beautiful. She reminded me of a mini Britt Robertson.  She eyed me as she questioned, "Is there something wrong?"

"No. You're just really pretty." I told her truthfully.

She smiled in awe. "Thanks. I'm Sabrina, and these are my friends, Avery and Megan."

Sabrina gestures at the two girls alongside of her. They're all adorable. I smile at each of them. Time passes by and we say goodbye to one another. I face palmed myself. Why didn't I get her number? Ugh stupid. With regret I grasped the donut boxes closer to my chest and watched outside. She was gone.

Sabrina Daniels
We were at the mall terrace examining the sun as it set. In front of the department store, a manmade lake sat only a few meters away. The sun cast a pretty glow on the water making it golden. I lifted my camera and tried to get a good position so it would focus on the scene. Someday I'm going to move here. The city was amazing, including the people.

Avery inhaled the fresh air and said, "I wonder if Francis Payne is still seeing the girl from the news."

Megan bobbed her head. "She's one lucky gal then."

I swigged the bottle of juice I had and took a deep breath. "I'm the one in the photo with Francis."

They squinted at me simultaneously and paused to hear me out afterwards they stared at each other and giggled.

"Nice joke Sabrina. You wouldn't dare go out with him. In fact I recall you saying that you hated him." Meg commented and they continued to laugh.

I suppose they wouldn't believe me because of the words I've said before. I instead checked the time and huffed. We all got up and began to amble to the New York Towers.
