Breathe (Anthony Trujillo)

*13

"Good morning!"

I squint my eyes at an unfamiliar face. Alissa groans and throws a pillow at the man.

"Adam go away!"

I sigh in relief, that this man isn't a kidnapper, but the manager. I sit up rubbing my eyes. He sticks his hand out to me, I shake his hand.

"Nice to finally meet you in person, Miss Brooks."

I nod rolling my eyes at how he addressed me.

"Please, just call me Tish, Miss Brooks makes me feel old."

He chuckles and nods.

"Be ready in 10, don't bother with trying to be presentable, your makeup will be done by professionals, and obviously your wardrobe will be chosen by others also. Meet me in the lobby."

He explains to both of us before leaving the room. Alissa lets out a deep throated scream, I look at her with a straight face, she look back at me with the same face, we stare at each other for a minute, and burst into laughter.

"I don't think I've ever heard another female scream like that."

I laugh, swinging my legs over the side of the bed, and fixing my bun. She shrugs, getting out of bed, unplugging her phone and tightening her small ponytail.

"Well, I'm ready, you?"

She turns away from the mirror looking at me. I nod grabbing my phone also. As we walk out of the hotel room, I check my phone.

A-You haven't even been there for 24hours and you're already Logan's assistant somehow

I smile while reading Anthony's text.

M-Well, he was telling me how he needed an assistant when we were waiting for our luggage at baggage claim, and I told him I would do It.

Alissa and I step into the elevator, and she presses the bottom floor button.

A-You're really something aren't you, but what're you up to right now?

M-I'm heading to one of my first shoots right now.

A-Okay, well be safe, please. Text me when you're done

M-I will

I lock my phone and rest it in the palm of my hand while I wait for the doors to ding open. We walk into the lobby meeting with Adam.

"The Uber is outside."

He says before leading the way outside. We follow him into the car, he sits in the passenger seat and Alissa and I climb into the back seat.

"Okay, so as you know, we're more of an old fashioned modeling agency. Meaning old styled fashion wear and make-up. You will shoot with us today and over the next day you will watch our next shoot, but not be apart of it. During that time, there is going to be discussion about this shoot, to see if we're going to keep you. Got it?"

Adam explains to me. I nod.

"Yes, thank you."

I smile, he nods turning back around and typing on his phone. Alissa hits my arm, I furrow my eyebrows at her, she is holding her phone to me. She has her note's open.

Give me your phone

I pick my phone up out of my lap and hand it to her. She clicks the home button, my screen lit up to Anthony and I on the day he asked me out. She smile's looking up at me, she lays her hand over her heart and tilts her head. Her facial features soften, and she looks at me in awe. I blush grinning.
