Calhoun House

Briggs run the hot shower against his tanned skin which he got from his early morning runs or laps at the pool. His work as a civil engineer in a construction company and his hobby of enjoying the outdoors during his free time evens out more his skin tone. The water run down his chest, towards his abs and his legs. At 5'10 tall, he has that average height with an athletic built body, but not your gym buff body type. He seems to be just your average guy in his late 20s. He slowly rub his palm of hands on his face as he hurried in the shower to get dress for the day.

Ah his face, yes, the one most women can't help but to look at. He has this dark brown hair, brown eyes, thick brows, a straight nose and wide lips— all his facial features just seems to be symmetrical. He is just one good looking guy that likes to flash his natural smirk and that's when you realized he is just handsome.

He obviously doesn't need to dressed up to win someone's heart but he likes to dressed well especially at work. They used to joke he is the sharpest and decent looking engineer on a construction site. He seems to always look clean and smelling good even with all the heat and dust. Some of his work colleagues and friends often persuade him to pursue a modeling career, not that he needed the money but brands could use someone like him. They would even compare him to some young actor that he never cared to know the name but often get mistaken for.

Today he choose to wear a black shirt, dark washed denim jeans and paired them with black safety boots. But before he headed to the project construction site, he has to make a stop at the office to grab some drawings and paperworks for his regular project inspection.

Here goes another same and boring, Monday. He thought to himself as he started the engine of his blue pickup truck. He likes his job but everyday felt too predictable for him. He hope today would be an exception as he hit the road on his way to work.

Reed House

Kelsea put on the finishing touches of her makeup, a dusty rose colored lipstick glide smoothly on her full lips. I think this is too much for my interview, she thought to herself as she tried to look more put together for her job interview that day with a construction company. She run a brush on her naturally wavy auburn hair that she styled on a half ponytail as it falls a few inches down her shoulders. She checked her makeup as they highlight her blue eyes.

She's petite, standing just 5'2 tall, she has to wear heels for days like this to look professional, as inconvenient as they are for her. She straightened her blue dress suit that almost matched the shade of her eyes.

As she hurried downstairs, she caught her sister finishing a cereal bowl for breakfast. She just rolled her eyes hoping her sister didn't see her reaction. Her sister is a decade younger than her, in high school and she felt she should start acting more mature starting with eating an actual breakfast and not cereal for days.

"I saw that." Sophie, her sister remarked as she was about to grab an apple from the fruit basket on the counter.

"Saw what?" Kelsea asked back trying to pretend she didn't just eye roll on her and quickly stashed the apple in her bag.

"The one you're wearing today. You look unusually pretty. You got a date?" Her sister started to tease while grabbing another spoonful of cereal.

"Uhm, do I look overdressed? I have a job interview today, actually." As she started feel conscious while examining what she's wearing.

"Nope, you look alright. A cross between a flight stewardess and those who try to audition for some acting job." Her sister replied back with a smile as she pours another serving of cereal on her bowl.
