Call incoming

"Hi Lucas," Celeste yelled on the phone, damaging my eardrums in the process. She is nothing but a ball full of energy, but who am I to complain when I literally match her energy? "Hey Celeste, what's wrong?" I ask her. "Why do you think something is wrong?" "Well, considering it's 5 in the morning and you don't even wake up before 12 noon, I took a shot," she laughs. "I mean, you're not wrong, but today I have a flight to catch. so since my driver is on leave today, can you drop me at the airport? I would ask Felix, but he is out of town and I can't really drive, so like, can you?" "Yeah, of course. I'm in the gym right now. I'll be there in five." Celeste is like the sister I never had. She's my best friend's girlfriend. Felix is head over heels for her. They are both so in love, which makes me wonder how can you love a person this much.

" lucasss my bestttt frienddd " She sings my name while entering the car, making me laugh. "Hi Celeste." "So, for how long are you leaving?" I ask, noticing her two pieces of luggage. "I'm leaving for a month actually, with none other than Ivy Kennedy. I'm so excited but also nervous. She has quite the reputation of being heartless, you know. Everyone knows her. She's literally our industry's gem. I've never met her, but I have seen her at award functions. She's the headline of every Vogue magazine." I nod "Don't worry, Celeste. You're gonna do well, and I don't think there is anyone in this world you can't befriend," she giggles. It's true. She has the power to melt the toughest person to exist, and Felix is the best example of it. She has that 6 feet 3-inch man on her dainty little finger.

We soon arrive at the airport. The firm has personal air jets, so there is no one except for the crew. I get out and help her with her luggage, and a car arrives. From the window, I see it's none other than Ivy Kennedy. Her head is leaned on the car window, and it looks like she's in deep thought. The driver informs something, most probably that they arrived. "Lucas." Celeste snaps her fingers in front of my face. "Are you even listening?" She then turns behind to see what I was staring so intently at, and she then notices Ivy. I take her in completely as Celeste is talking to her. She's wearing black track pants with an oversized black hoodie. Her brunette hair is in a messy bun .She's even prettier up close.

" This is my friend," Celeste says to Ivy. Celeste slightly elbows me. But why ?. Oh shit, I was so lost staring her that I did not even realize they are both looking at me and I have no idea what to do. "Introduce yourself, Lucas," Celeste whispers. Before I could regain my senses, Ivy saves me the trouble. "Ivy Kennedy," she says with a nod and a straight face that has absolutely no expression. "You're so beautiful," I say, extending my hand. Her eyes widen, and she stops her hand midway that she was going to shake my hand with . Our hands are literally in the air. Well, fuck. What haze did she put me into? " I, um, I'm Lucas Miller," she avoids eye contact. She still has absolutely no expression on her face, but her cheeks are now red, indicating to me that she is blushing. Celeste is now full-on laughing.

I give Celeste a death glare, and she stops laughing. "Um, excuse me, please," and with that, she leaves and goes inside the jet. Celeste starts laughing again. "You're so beautiful, Ivy," she says in a mocking voice. "Shut up, Celeste," she suddenly squeaks. "Oh my god, Lucas, you're blushing just by hearing her name. Your cheeks are as red as a tomato." "Shut up, I'm going back. Do you have all your stuff?" she just nods as she is dying from laughter. "Bye, have a safe journey," and with that, I leave but not without mocking her.

Driving back to my house, I think about her again. She is undoubtedly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and now I know why she is the gem of the industry. She had absolutely no makeup on her face. She is just so natural and effortlessly beautiful. Her hazel eyes were so comforting and could easily be someone's home. I then think about our awkward interaction. What shocks me the most is that I'm never like this. I'm usually very confident in front of girls. Felix calls me a legit playboy. I mean, he's not wrong. I've had my fair share of girls via one-night stands, but that's it. I don't really do relationships. But I really want to know what the fuck happened to me when I saw her.
