Chapter 53: Nerves

GABIS POV

I took a deep breath as I looked at Blackbear with a small smile before entering the tall skyscraper. Today was the last day of Fashion Week which meant I was walking in my very first ever New York City fashion show today. I am nervous, excited, scared; the list could go on and on.

Bear and I proceeded to the elevators to ride up to the top floor, which is where the fashion show was taking place in just a few hours. The elevator came to a hault, a ding sounding as the doors parted to reveal a huge room with people scattered all over it.

We stepped out of the elevator and into the large room as we both took in our surroundings. There was a long catwalk going through the middle of the room with rows of chairs set up on either sides of the stage. The walls of the top floor were completely glass giving the venue a breathtaking view of the city.

"Hi, Ms. Loren?" A man with a headset on approached us.

"That's me." I smiled.

"Follow me." He instructed as he began to quickly walk around the stage to a back room.

As we entered the back room we saw models getting prepped everywhere. The air was thick with hairspray and perfume, the lights were insanely bright for the stylists, and it was loud from all the seperate conversations going on. It was total chaos, but I loved it.

"Ms. Loren, this is Toby. He will be doing your make up and hair. Don't worry, you're in good hands." He winked before walking away in a hurry.

"Hi, I'm Gabi Loren." I introduced myself as I shook his hand.

"Hello sweetheart! Who is this hunk who tagged along?" He said as he checked out Bear, clearly extremely gay.

I giggled as I wiggled my brows at Bear while he looked taken back at Tobys comment.

"Blackbear, I'm Blackbear." He said with a cute, awkward chuckle.

"Fiesty name, I like that." He winked at Bear.

"Me too." I joked as I continued to laugh.

"You look beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!" Toby said as he spun my chair around so I was facing Bear.

Bear looked up from his phone and I watched as his jaw dropped, causing me to blush.

"You look-" He tried getting his words out.

"Look, he's speechless. I'll take credit for that," Toby joked, "now lets get you to your fitting."

Toby took my arm, interlocked it with his and dragged me to a rack that had several ball gowns hanging from it. He filed threw them until he came across a stunning ruby cinderella dress that had my name on the hanger.

"Lets get you into this thing." He said as he took me into one of the changing rooms to assist me because getting into a dress like this was not a one person job. 

BLACKBEARS POV

I waited patiently outside the changing rooms for Gabi to finish getting into her dress. I never knew it took so long for girls to get ready for this kind of stuff. We have been here for nearly five hours and she is just now finished getting ready.

"Are you ready to see the final masterpiece?" Toby, her stylist for the evening, questioned me as he stuck his head out the door.

"Hell yeah I am." I said, excited to see how amazing Gabi looks.

Toby swung the door open and stepped aside so she could make her way out of the room. The second my eyes fell onto her I felt my heart skip a beat. She looked breathtaking.
