The Models Mystery

11 Do I Make You Nervous?

Rose POV:

Mr & Mrs Smith were at the bottom of the stairs, big smiles on their faces, obviously enjoying the night.

I try my best to avoid them but they see me and yell out my name. I stopped in my tracks, turned around and plastered the fakest smile on my face.

"Hey guys! Enjoying the night?" Mrs. Smith nodded, but Mr. Smith noticed my nerves.

"Do you happen to know where my son is, Rose?" I felt my smile fall a little, but behind Mr. Smith I see Bella, jumping up and down, waving at me like a maniac, while trying not to spill the glass of wine she had snuck in her left hand.

I let out a small laugh but try my best to maintain my serious look, "Bathroom I'm pretty sure, now I got to run!" I let out in a small breath before speed-walking over to Bella.

Bella laughs and greets me in a side hug while quickly taking a sip of the wine and putting it back down from where she got it.

"Bitch! You will never believe this asshole. He was talking about you and I was like, really? So I walked closer to him and found out he was talking about you and Jack, like first off EW." She made a gagging noise.

I laughed a little and looked behind me to see Anthony coming down the stairs alone.

I rolled my eyes and turned back to Bella.

"But what happened with Jack anyways?" Bella asked and raised a brow.

I told her all about it, especially Alexa and her little episode over me and Jack standing next to each other.

"Oh shit, you roasted her though. But how dumb, it's not like she wasn't all over Anthony." Bella rolls her eyes and goes to say something else but gets interrupted by the clanking of a glass.

"Attention everyone! First I want to thank all of you for attending tonight's event, we love seeing important businesses all in one room, good to see some dear friends again."

Some of the elders laughed and me and Bella shared a look, before he continued.

"We are now moving into the screening room, please find your name and get ready for the show."
He steps off of whatever he was standing on and goes into the screening room.

I look behind me to see Anthony a person or two away, Bella grabs my hand and leads me into the screening room.

Bella whispers something into my ear before sitting behind me, and I take my seat.

The seat name to the right of me was indeed Jack, but to the left was someone I couldn't read.

I stare at my lap, before someone takes a seat next to me.

I look up to see who it is, and I see a tattoo on his neck, of a snake.

A feeling of him being familiar hits me like a train, and I get the sudden urge to run away, but I don't understand why.

Until he turned his head around to face me.

Dark blonde hair, green eyes, the snake tattoo, and a smile.

His bright white teeth flashed at me, and his green eyes matched, the tattoo moving with his skin.

Then it hits me, the night I was working out, gunshots were fired, he was the other one running from the cops.

He's the guy.

I stare at him, taking in his face, his smile grows bigger in a flattering manner.

I snap out of my stare when he speaks up.

"Hello." He looks me up and down before offering his hand to shake.
