The Supermodel's Revenge

Chapter 3

I had finished up unpacking and I was laying on my bed answering emails. My manager Kelly informed me that she would be flying out in two weeks to update my beach and swimwear portfolio since I was now living in California. Oh you thought I was giving up modeling? No. While I was planning to keep a low profile and I had pre taken a ton of NYC street shots to leak to the press so that they still thought that I was in manhattan and I could go to school, I had no intention of fully stopping modeling. I was going to need to cut back a bit because I would be living in LA but I was still the top model in America and I wasn't about to quit now! The Victoria's Secret fashion show was a good six months away so I didn't have to worry too much about that as long as I kept up with my training so for now it would just be small shoots on the weekends in secret. I powered down my computer and stretched my tired body. I was feeling pretty run down after such a long day of traveling and I knew what that meant. Time to exercise. I groaned and got up off of the comfy bed, going into my walk in closet to change. I picked out my black VSX sports bra and gray leggings then threw on my grey angel wings tank top with a pair of light blue nike sneakers. I grabbed my phone off the charger and texted Kelly to find me the best gym in West Hollywood that wasn't likely to be malled by paparazzi and celebs but with a good trainer since there wasn't a gym in my house...I would have to fix that soon. Kelly was quick to respond and sent me directions to a place called Mansion Fitness where I was registered under Rosie. I was pleased to see that it was a short distance from my house so I could walk there instead of making Taylor pick me up so I grabbed my gym bag and some water and headed out. Ten minutes later I was at the gym. The interior of the gym truly lived up to its name. It had very glossy shabby chic wood floors and a purple lighting scheme. Plush couches sat in between the workout machines and crystal chandeliers hung everywhere. Definitely the mansion vibe. I walked over to the front desk where a bubbly brunette was sat in-front of a computer doing some work. She noticed me and looked up giving me a smile. "Hi! Welcome to Mansion Fitness! What can I do for you?" "Hi, Kelly Kline called to set up a membership for me?" I said returning her smile. "Oh! You must be Rosie! Well I'm Josie- hey! Josie and Rosie! We match!" She said giggling. The more this girl talked the more I liked her. "Yeah I guess we do!" We both giggled and smiled. "So if you'll just stand on that X right there I'll take your picture and print your passkey and then you can put your finger on that pad there and we'll take your finger print." I did as she said and she handed me my key card. "So is there anything I can help you with?" "Yeah actually there is, I was wondering when your personal training sessions are and if you have good trainers." She took on a professional persona and shuffled some pamphlets on her desk. "Yeah we actually have great personal trainers! Depending on who you go to they usually have weekly hours and then late hours on the weekend" she looks me up and down and purses her lips. "I'm guessing by your build that you're really serious about this....I'd recommend Mack. He's like the most badass trainer. Let me just see if he has any openings..." her eyes glaze over as she looks at the computer screen and grins. "Ok I put you down for three morning sessions and two weekend sessions either one a day or two in one day. Sound good?" "Sounds perfect! Wow...you really have a gift of knowing what a customer wants." I say, impressed. Josie laughs. "Yeah...well you work in here for awhile and you start to learn what people can handle. And can I say, wow! You have an insane body! Are you like a model or something?" My heart rate spikes and I feel a nervous sweat start to prick. Deep breath Rosie. I give a laugh to cover my unease. "Ha! Me? A model? Yeah right..." "I'm just sayin...gurl you could be on the cover of  a Victoria's Secret catalogue!" I smile kindly and give a small shake of the head and walk into the gym area.

I finish up about a hour later, I'm drenched in sweat and loving it. For some reason I always felt super accomplished after a post travel workout. I had first done about forty minutes on the elliptical, then I had moved on to an intense ab workout, followed by some light kickboxing on a body bag, some leg and booty exercises, and finally some core yoga. I rinsed off quick in the gym shower and changed into some comfy-cute sweats with a baggy white cropped T-shirt and my Gucci slides. I threw my sweaty hair into a messy bun and applied a little make up. I almost scoffed at my appearance in the mirror. I look so LA right now... I shook my head and headed out, wavy goodbye to Josie, who had given me her number saying that we should train together sometime. I was honestly so happy to have met her...she might just turn out to be my first friend in Los Angelas.

I made it out the door and around the corner before I realized that I was STARVING and hadn't eaten since lunch in the airport. I quickly googled smoothie places and I saw that there was a cute boutique juice bar just up the street from me with good reviews so I headed straight over. I walked in and was instantly calmed by the beach wood interior with the mall hanging plants and succulents and the gold geometric light fixtures. The black board menu was chalk full of delicious sounding options. It was kind of quiet since it was already nine o'clock so I had a chance to study the menu. I walked up to the register to place my order and instantly regretted my outfit choice as there was a super cute guy working there and while I'm sure this was a normal LA outfit I was still a New Yorker with dignity who did NOT feel super cute in sweatpants...especially not with dirty hair. Oh well! I'll just fall back on my model confidence and charm. I walked up to the counter and offered the boy a polite smile. "Hi, what can I get for you?" He said giving me a dazzling smile and piercing me with crystal blue eyes. "Hi...could I please get a large fruitilicious with yogurt and a probiotic shot?" I said and pulled out my wallet. "Sure thing, will that be all?" "Yes I believe so" I said with a small chuckle that earned me a small smile. "Alrighty that will be 6.95 oh-crap I forgot to add on the shot. Sorry, its 10.38" he said with a small blush and he rubbed the back of his neck. "It's ok, you're doing better than I ever could. I'm horrible at math." I said, handing over a twenty dollar bill with a sheepish grin. He gave me one last quick smile before handing me my change and going to help his coworkers prep my order. Stuffing a five dollar bill in the tip jar I stood over to the side until my order was ready then I sat down at one of the little marble tables and scrolled through Instagram. I plugged my nose and quickly took the ginger shot, grimacing as it went down. I truly hated those things but they really did help if your immune system was feeling low and with school and a photoshoot coming up I couldn't afford to be sick. I was starting to feel a little tired so I took the rest of my smoothie/meal to go and started to walk home giving one last look to the handsome boy cleaning the tables in the corner. Damn he was cute! By the time I had made it home I had finished my smoothie so I brushed my teeth and washed my face and just had time to set an alarm before I literally fell into bed. I literally felt dead that was how tired I was and I instantly started to drift off to sleep. And just think....only one more day until hell-I mean school begins.
