"Robs, My mom wants you to shoot with her again. Apparently Karl also wants you" Rumi said nonchalantly as she laid on my bed next to me, I could barely keep my eyes open as she tried to keep a conversation with me
"Ru, I can barely keep my eyes open with the shifts I have at the hospital. I don't have time for anything else" I murmured as I pulled her closer to get comfortable
"You know my mom and I have connections to make you the hottest model in the game Robs, I'm not saying throw away your career but you can put it off a bit and make millions then go back later on. You're too beautiful to waste away behind scrubs" if my eyes weren't already shut, I would roll them at the golden eyed girl lying beside me
"Its not about the money Ru" I argued before letting out a tired yawn
"I know babe but try it out? For me?" she pulled out the big guns at me, her cute baby voice that made me do whatever she wanted. Such a bitch
"For a straight girl, you know just how to charm me" she giggled at that because she knew she had won this time, again.
"I'll call mom!" she squealed
"Later! Now stay still I wanna sleep"
"You know, its time you get a girlfriend. I'm tired of being your snuggle buddy" she fake pouted making me laugh a little because I knew she didn't mean it
Our crew from high school was still close however Ru and I were the closest. I don't know how that came about but the girl just knew how to lure anyone in. Now 7 years later, everyone have fitted into their roles. Sure they tried to be rebellious and do their own things but we all knew that would never stick.
I went on to study medicine in Pennsylvania, Mel studied Anthropology in Michigan, Aubrey and Khalid Studied Business In Yale, Cara studied Law in Cambridge, Jourdan studied Engineering In Harvard and Beyoncé studied Business in Harvard. Ru just went straight into the fashion industry after school, with Anna as a mom she quickly became the hottest model then transitioned into an editor about 3 years after.
Yet somehow, with all the directions we took in life and the distance that had physically separated us, we managed to keep contact and remain friends.
After our studies we made a decision to return to New York to pursue our careers. Except for Bey, who had to live in San Francisco under her father's wishes.
I was woken up from my deep slumber by my alarm going off, I groaned as I reached out to turn it off.
"Turn it off" Ru complained as she took a pillow and pressed it over her head to tune out the annoying sound. I got ahold of my 6s and turned off the alarm. It was 6 am already; it felt as if I only slept for 5 seconds
I turned to my side and looked at my friend who had already gone back to sleep, for a moment I envied her. Most of the time she worked from home; she didn't know what an early morning is. Lucky bitch
I slid my feet out of my warm bed and they hit the cold wooden floor, I tiredly dragged my body to the bathroom to take a shower. I slid off the shorts and tank top I had on and stepped inside my shower to wash away some of the tiredness.
By the time I was done with everything and made it downstairs, I found my bestie dancing off-beat to an Ariana Grande song as she made breakfast. I busted out a laugh and made my presence known
"Stop laughing at me jackass or I'll eat all the bacon" I stopped laughing immediately at her threat, you don't play with my bacon
"That's not funny" I pouted as she now laughed at me.
She slid me a plate of bacon, eggs, avocado, sliced tomato, cheese and toast. My stomach immediately grumbled at the sight
"Tell me what to do to make you gay, I wanna marry you" I dove in as she slid me a glass of apple juice with a teasing smirk on her face
"Have a dick for one" I rolled my eyes at her playfully
"I can buy one" I returned a smirk; she choked on her juice making me laugh at her.
"Fuck you" she retorted
"Tell me the time and place, baby girl" I winked at her as I collected my stuff and pecked her now red cheek and made my way out of the house while laughing.
