New York is amazing!

I'm so happy I can share this experience with Luke; he means the world to me. He even got me an interview to do some photography for a magazine (all I have to do is pass it!) I don't know how I deserve such a pure human like him in my life...

I'm sat in the reception with Luke when a representative of the magazine comes out to collect me. I'm so nervous that I can't concentrate and my palms go all sweaty. If I bomb this interviews then Luke and I might not have another chance at this dream, I keep thinking in my head that it's going to go wrong. But then I feel like squeeze my hand and all my fear went. Even if I did badly on this interview, Luke would still love me and I would just have to keep searching for another job.

I just have to keep reminding myself that everything will be ok.

They take me to a beautiful white airy room. It looked so nice that I almost got distracted by it.

"Sit down, Miss... Agressi?" a sharp voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Agresti, it's Italian," I said, sitting down

My nerves started to build up again.

Everything is going to be ok...

"So, Miss Agresti, it would be great if I could see your portfolio, is it online?"

"Um... yeah let me just type the link in for you" I took her computer and loaded up my page

"Well... I can see you're very experienced, have you done paid work for anyone"

"Not exactly, but I was the photographer for my school's yearbook last year"

"May I ask how old you are?"

"I'm 18 nearly 19"

The interviewer paused and looked me up and down. Had I done something wrong? Had I ruined my chances? my palms started to sweat again and the nerves hit.

"Wait here miss Agresti, in need to talk to a colleague for a second" she gave me a stern smile and walked out.

I start panicking again. I imagine I'm in Luke's arms and he telling me that everything is going to be ok.

Everything is going to be ok...

Everything is going to be ok...

Everything is going to be ok...

Everything is going to be ok...

while the interviewer was out I took a picture of the room. photography always helps me lose myself in something, it's the only thing that can block out my nerves and relaxes me. I just need to believe in myself the way Luke believes me.

"Miss Agresti, I have come to a decision." her voice scared me and I nearly dropped my camera

"Ok," I said while whispering to myself.

Everything is going to be ok...

Everything is going to be ok...

Everything is going to be ok...

"so... I feel like you don't have te professional experience we need, we need to know that you can handle a photo shoot"

"Thank you for your time..." I started to stand up

"is not finished... you have the skill to be a photographer, so you have a photoshoot for 'gardening weekly' tomorrow. They will email you the directions to the place."

"Thank you so, so much. This is amazing"

"Don't thank me, thank your boyfriend in reception"

"what?"

"Goodbye Miss Agresti and good luck on furthering your career"

"bye"

I was ecstatic, I can't believe my luck, Luke is an Angel. How did he end up with a mess like me?
