JUST ONE NIGHT

Model?

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Lily was awakened by the load ring if her phone.

She picked up her phone and answered not caring to check who it was.

"Hello?" She say in a groggy voice.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" She heard a chirpy voice call from the other side.

"Eugene? Why are you up so early?"

"It's only 7:30."

"Exactly. Time for sleep. So if you'll excuse me."

"Wait, wait, wait! We should meet up."

"Why? You know most people wouldn't want to see a one night stand again but you some how convinced me to give you my number and go to LA with you." Lily complained.

"Exactly my point. If you're coming with me shouldn't we meet up and work out details?" He suggested.

"Ugh, fine."

"Great meet me outside the Glenmor building at 8:30."

"Fine. But make it 9:00."

"Why?"

"If you want me in a bad mood 8:30 is great then but if you don't make it 9:00."

"9:00 it is then. See ya then."

Flatline. He hung up.

"Ugh." Lily grounded as she fell back onto her bed falling back into a deep sleep.

----

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Lily shot up from her bed hearing her alarm go off.

She hopped out of bed and headed to her closet.

She didn't feel like trying today so she just threw on a pair of ripped jeans an t-shirt and a sweat shirt over top before throwing her hair into a ponytail.

"Hey Casedey I'm heading out!"

"Kay!"

----

He was there, just like he said, in front of the Glenmor building.

"Howdy." He greeted cheerfully.

"Can we just get this over with?"

"Yes ma'am."

"So what do you want to do?" Lily asked impatiently.

"I don't know."

"What? Ugh, you know I could of spent the day waisting away sleeping in my bed ignoring my miserable life but no I came here, to see wonder boy and his rich self." Lily complained.

"Wonder boy?" Eugene questioned.

"Shut up."

"Haha. Come on, I have an idea." Eugene grabbed Lily's hand dragging her down the street.

"Hey let go of my hand!"

----

"Tada!" Eugene announced.

They both stood in front of a white two story building that was decorated with blue flowers all along the front and the windows were covered by

"Where are we?" Lily asked.

"You'll see."

Eugene took Lily's hand once again and pulled her inside the white building.

"Stop grabbing my hand." Lily complained.

"Mrs. Baker!" Eugene called but no one answered.

'Who's Mrs. Baker?' Lily wondered.

"Mrs. Baker are you home?!" Eugene called once again.

Suddenly an old fragile looking lady lady came out around the corner, sporting an array of colors and a long lose skirt. She could've been mistaken for a gypsy to strangers.

"Oh Eugene my dear how are you doing here? And who is this?" The lady spoke with a sweet almost stereotypical English accent.

"Oh Mrs. Baker this is Lily. Lily, Mrs. Baker." He said motion to each woman as he introduced one another.

"Well it's a pleasure my dear. Wow, she's very pretty Eugene. You got lucky." Mrs. Baker smirked.

"Woah! Woah! No! This is not a thing. And could you please let go off my hand?" Lily protested yanking her hand out of Eugene's.

"Feisty. She's a keeper." Mrs. Baker giggled. "So what brings you here sunny?" She asked.

"Well Lily hear is actually a designer. And I was wondering if you could show her your studio?" Eugene asked.

"Oh of course. Anything for a fellow artist. Follow me." Mrs. Baker then led them to a separate room filled with people and it was a lot louder than the entry way of the building.

This room had several cameras and and a lot of lights. There were wracked of clothes lining one wall and several people in chairs getting their makeup done.

"Oh ignore this. We're just having a photoshoot. My studio is around here." After a few more steps they were in a different room.

Prints and fabrics lined the walls. And in the center was one small table with a sewing machine in the middle, and mannequin off to the side of the table.

"Welcome to my studio." Mrs. Baker announced.

"Mrs. Baker is also a designer who owns her own indie brand. And I was wondering if you could offer Lily a job." Eugene explained.

"Well I don't-"

"Mrs. Baker! Oh I'm sorry for interrupting." A young man who shared the same sweet sounding British accent as Mrs. Baker barged into the studio cutting her off.

"Oh no Daniel it's fine. What is it?" Mrs. Baker asked.

"Chrissy can't come. She's sick."

"What?! Ugh she's the main model."

"I know but what am I supposed to do?" Daniel said laughing a bit.

"You're gonna get fired if you don't shut up." Mrs. Baker snapped.

"Wait! You're missing a model?" Eugene asked.

"Yes."

"Why don't you use Lily?"

"What?!" Lily asked shocked.

"That's actually not a bad idea." Mrs. Baker agreed.

"Wait, wait. I'm a designer not a model."

"Oh please I've had to model my own clothes before. Now come on." Mrs. Baker took Lily's arm and dragged her back out to where the Photoshoot was taking place.

"Wait. I don't-"

"If you do this I'll consider looking at your designs. You want a job don't you?"

"Yes but-"

"Great. Daniel!"

"Yes ma'am?"

"Get her something suitable to wear." Mrs. Baker commanded.

"Yes ma'am."

"Oh I'm excited." Eugene said.

"I'm not.." Lily trailed off.

"Oh calm down.
