Keeping up with Kamila

• runway and Rafael •

We had all been briefed to walk forward in a simple way not to pose at the end and not to smile, the designer of the clothes thought that it would match the clothes the best.

The large countdown came on and the first girl began to walk, we would go one by one in a line. After a few minutes of watching the girls in front of me walk glamorously down the runway It was my turn I began walking down the runway keeping my face flat and stern swaying my hips as I walked. I saw out of the corner of my eye Sebastian and my mom sat beside each other looking up at me as I walked past. I wanted to smile at them but I had to follow the designers debrief if I wanted to keep my job so I stayed stern. I turned at the end walking back down the runway, as soon as I reached the back area again i was met by many people rushing around I still had a while until I had to walk my next look.

I waited around backstage until the stylist came Came over and I changed into my second look. I was the final one to walk for the second look the runway was completely empty. I walked to the end spinning on my heals and walking straight back again, these boots I was wearing were seriously uncomfortable to walk in and I was glad I was backstage again so I could take them off.

I changed back into my normal clothes so that we could go and celebrate with the other models at the after party. I came out of the cubicle I had changed in to see my mom and Sebastian sat waiting for me with huge smiles on their face. Seb got up and hugged me "I wish I could kiss you right now" he whispered in my ear, he couldn't we were in public with hundreds of photographers everywhere, I laughed winking at him as I pulled away to hug my mom "you looked great up there kami" I smiled "thanks mom" she pulled away and looked down at her phone "there's a car outside ready to take you to the club for the after party you can stay as long as you want just make sure you have some fun" she smiled at me.

"Are you not coming?"

Mom shook her head laughing "I'm way past the club faze Kami but you guys have fun tonight" she smiled before leaning in to my ear Seb looked over confused, "you got yourself a good one kami" she pulled away and smiled at seb before walking off.

Seb and I walked outside and got into the car,the driver started the car pulling away from the sidewalk and down the street. Seb turned to me smiling taking my face in his hands peppering my entire face in small kisses "you were great kam" I smiled "so were you apparently" he furrowed his brow "what?" I smiled "my mom she loves you" a huge grin made its way to Seb's face pulling me in for another kiss.

The car came to a stop so Seb and I thanked the driver and got out, the sidewalk infront of the club was littered with models I recognised from earlier all smiling and making there way inside with their family's and friends following behind.

We pushed through the crowds of people into the club, the bass of the music so loud it made my rib cage jump with every beat. Seb and I walked Over to the bar grabbing ourselves a drink.

Lights flashed around the bar and people drunkenly danced around us, Seb looked at me sipping his drink I smiled "wanna dance sebby, no ones looking at us" Seb grinned leaving his empty glass on the bar following me into the middle of the dance floor.

I wrapped my arms around seb's neck, he wrapped his arms around my waist as we both swayed our hips together smiling widely at each other.

The Music was upbeat happily filling our ears with its tune. Someone drunkenly bumped into me making me stumble slightly Sebastian laughed as I fell into him accidents stepping on his foot. I looked up at him and frowned jokingly. Seb smiled looking around us before leaning down to kiss me.

We danced together for what felt like forever only stopping to get a drink. I'm not sure what time it was by the time we left the club but the busy night life of New York was in full swing.
