Falling in Love with Fashion

FILWF Ch 6 'Levi'

Britannia and I spoke till morning. Something we haven't done in a long time. We talked about her plans here in the city, and also modeling. My up and coming travels, seeing my family, and her, hers.

Around seven in the morning I decided to go back to Brad's apartment, take a shower, change clothes. While in in the kitchen eating some eggs, toasts and a fruit bowl, Brad pats me on the back, walks around me and heads for the fridge, "Where were you last night?"

"Well," I take a sip of my coffee, and put the mug back down, "if you'd like to know mother ..." I pause and chuckle, as he glares at me over his left shoulder, "I was at the lounge and then decided to just chill with a friend."

Brad sits down next to me, water bottle in hand, "A friend?" He raises a brow.

"Yeah," I turn my head in his direction sporting the famous smirk he hates so much, "a friend."

He shakes his head, twists the cap of the water and takes long sip. When he's done he puts the bottle on the marble counter, and runs his hand through his hair, "So," he inhales deeply, and puts his right hand on his thigh while facing me, "you remember the models at Ian's casting call?"

I nod, "Cassie right?" Still remembering I favored her because of her southern roots.

Sporting his boyish smile, he nods his head, "Yeah ..." He clears his throat, "since Cassie's only been in the city for a couple of days, weeks ... Whatever. I thought we could show them both a night out on the town."

A night out on the town would do me some good. It's been awhile since I've gone out to a good nightclub or bar in New York City and lord knows that I need a good stiff drink and some dancing to cure my broken soul.

"Okay, I'm all in bro." I tell him.

Looking at me shocked, Brad smiles big, "You're serious?"

"Yeah man," I chuckle and run my fingers through my hair, "I'm in."

Brad hops off his stool and shacks both of my shoulders as he does his little dance, "Yeah man!

I pull away from him as I'm laughing, "Okay, so ..." I stand up and he takes a couple of steps backwards, "I have a couple of errands to run, but I'll meet you here around 6 ... 7."

"Alright, I'm going to hit up Bree and let her know you're definitely coming."

I shake my head, with a smile while I turn towards the sink to put my dishes in the sink. Trust me there are no expectations tonight other than me getting partially drunk and just socializing. Cassie might be there, but I wasn't going to hook up with anyone. I didn't need the added stress. All I want to do is drink, dance and chill ... With no drama.

I grab my backpack, keys and wallet, "Alright man, I'll see you in a bit."

"Aight."

I walk out of the apartment making sure to lock the door behind me. On my way to the elevator I send Stella an email to see if she has any good news from her realtor. Then I check my social media accounts and notice I have 100 DM's in my Instagram account. I decide to answer them later on in the day.

By the time I make out into the streets of New York City, I put my hoodie on to deal with the chilly weather and begin walking up the street. I continue up the block and make a left on Broadway.
