Barbie and Ken [26]

"Lucy!" I squealed, picking up the phone.

She laughed, "I'm assuming Castor has told you?"

"Duh!" I began bouncing around the room though all my muscles ached. 

"Well, lovey," she began, "In these last... six and a half minutes, I have cancelled your part in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and scheduled a casting for a partner-modelling campaign with Louis Vuitton."

"A casting?" I said in awe, "Cool!"

Lucy giggled quietly and then said, "Did you hear every aspect of that sentence?"

"'scheduled a casting for a modelling campaign with Louis Vuitton'," I squeed again.

"Partner-modelling," she corrected.

"As in..." I glanced at Castor who was watching the TV. 

"You will be casting with Cruz, yes," she said lightly.

I couldn't help the smile that rose to my face.

Lucy continued, "And... I also got some other information."

I sighed, "You did?"

"We need to boost your confidence, Leila."

I rolled my eyes, "And how do you propose we do that?"

"Enlist Francisco and Sean."

[A/N: I really want to include these babessssss :)]

I looked in awe at the big setup. It looked like a regular gym with people working out, but it was just a big stage with actors. Everything north of the two treadmills in the middle was just cameras, lights and people. 

Andrew said, "Okay, this is how it's going to go. Cruz, you're going to be running on the treadmill, advertising the new shoes."

Castor walked to the treadmill - a real one - and began running. Soon he was working up a sexy sweat.

"Good, now Leila, you're just going to walk in with this and give a nod of approval and walk off, in that sexy way I know you can do," Andrew gestured.

I internally cringed but put on a small smile as I took the clipboard from a first assistant. I walked onto the stage, past the treadmill. I faked a stop in appreciation and smiled a little, nodded once and walked off. 

Andrew re-watched the tape and then wrinkled his nose, "No. No way. We need more of a bit of chemistry in there."

I gulped and waited. Andrew called out, "Roll it!"

The camera guy called out, "Rolling."

"Mark it!" Andrew called. 

A guy with one of those cute clapper board things came out and read off the information on the board, letting out a clear clap when he was finished. 

I thought they only did that in the movies... no pun intended.

"Action!" Andrew called and I walked on again. Castor's eyes connected with mine and I, obviously, blushed. 

I glanced down at his shoes, nodded in appreciation and sashayed off with Castor watching me. I could feel his beautiful blue eyes boring into my back.

We went through the entire commercial almost twenty times, making subtle changes here and there. It was almost annoying how many times we went through it. By the end I wanted to rip my hair out.

Andrew clapped, "And that's all everybody! Well done today! You all did fabulously!"

He dismissed us and we joined Lucy. She was deep in thought, phone pressed to her ear. Suddenly she squealed, "You can! That will be so good! I'll see you then!"

"Who was that?" Castor asked.

"Cruz, honey," she drawled, "That was one of the guys that's going to boost Leila's confidence."

"What?" Castor cocked his head.

Oh... I'd forgotten to tell him.

"Francisco Lachowski and Sean O'Donnell are coming to join you two, Taylor and Romee at a lunch on Saturday."

Taylor and Romee weren't skinny, skinny, but they were still prettier than me. That made me more than a little scared. Plus... Francisco and Sean were total babes. I mean, Castor was hot - don't get me wrong - but... Francisco and Sean are hotter.

So I hope you enjoyed :) If you did, leave me a comment, if you didn't, tell me what I can improve on. How are you? Leave me a comment and a vote if you're healthy or sick. If you're sick, I hope you feel better. Shoutout to those that are reading this at 1am. A short chappie, but who cares really? It makes room for DRAMA next chappie between Ethan and Castor *wink*. 

Sharky.
