✷ 037: Incoming Call.

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Wait I don't wanna." She got nervous, pushing his hand away.

"You've kissed him several times, which by the way...." Calvin paused. "Still crazy to me might I add... BUT, just ANSWER." He shoved it into her hold. "I will give you space." He got up as she grabbed his arm.

"NO, CALVIN I CANT..." She begged. "I'm nervous."

"Thals, get a grip." He groaned into his hand as her phone stopped ringing. A disappointed expression on his face before he rolled his eyes and yanked his hand out of her hold, proceeding to walk out of the green room.

Staring at her phone, Thalia sat in anticipation, wondering if he'd dial again, and not to her surprise, his contact popped up once again with a new incoming call request.

Taking a deep breath, she nervously tapped the accept button, a rush of feelings enveloping her as she thought about who she was talking to, quickly telling herself to pull it together and stop feeling this way over a guy.

She still felt it anyways.

"Hello?" She answered, trying to sound casual.

"Tanya." Lando's voice rang in her ears, a smile tugging at her lips as she rolled her eyes at herself, cringing that she was this happy over talking to a man.

"What do you want." Thalia exhaled out her nose, questioning him for why he was calling.

"Hi." He greeted, "Just wanted to check in on my favorite girl." His remark made the model yell to herself in silence, a quick flush of red rushing to her cheeks.

"Oh yeah?" She tried to play it off. "And who might that be?" She questioned, cringing at herself once again for flirting.

"Are you familiar with the It girl of Chanel? She's adorable, funny, feisty? Like a chihuahua." He laughed as she scoffed at his words.

"She sounds infuriating, actually." Thalia dissed herself.

"Nah." She could practically hear him smile through the phone. "She's one of a kind, if you ask me." Lando laughed as she quirked a brow at his constant compliments

"Okay, what do you want?" Thalia felt at ease now. The nerves going away as she happily talked to him over the call.

"Well." Lando began. "...Valentine's day is coming up." He mentioned. "What's our plan?"

"Oh..." She raised her brows, knowing she was booked for the final runway of the week. "Erm."

"Don't tell me you're going out with someone else?" He was quick to joke, a laugh escaping her lips as she shook her head, even though he couldn't see her. "Thalia, how could you do this to me??"

"I'm booked and busy that day, Lando." She sighed. "We do not have a plan."

"Who else are you seeing?" He asked as she bursted into a fit of giggles. "Literally no one." Thalia paused. "Just you, unfortunately."

"Unfortunately?????" He took offense.

"Well, yeah." She said with a "duh" tone.

"Okay so I am your Valentine, right?" He asked as she rolled her eyes, lightly facepalming at his childish antics.

"...You didn't even ask me."

"Oh." Lando paused. "Okay, will you be my Valentine?"

"No, I'm okay." Thalia quickly declined, a loud yell of defeat coming from his end of the call.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO." Lando cried. "PLEASE." He continued as she laughed at his reaction in disbelief. "Let me come and see you. I want to see you please."

"Eager, much?" She crinkled her eyebrows, laughing as she heard his fake dramatic cries.

"Can you blame the fact that I miss you?" He sighed as she attempted to not smile to herself like an idiot.

"Gross, stop it." Thalia groaned into her hands, but it was clear she was grinning hardcore. "But I don't know. Do what you want." She shrugged. "I just know that I'm swamped the rest of this week, and I won't have the time." She explained. "Because of fashion week."

"I'll take my chances." Lando responded.

"Okay, then go for it."

"Alright so... fly to New York?" He suggested as she bit down a smile, deciding to be complicated. "It's completely up to you! I don't know."

"Do you.. or do you not want me to fly to New York so I can see your shows?" Lando asked as she laughed to herself.

"Do you want to do that?" Thalia quirked a brow.

"TANYA." He complained. "What do you want me to do?" Lando questioned, clearly wanting to know what she wanted but also laughing at her act to play hard to get. "Stop being complicated!"

"You're a grown man with a dick and balls! Make the decision yourself!" She laughed, another groan coming from his end of the call.

"OKAY." Lando playfully yelled. "I'll see you in a couple days." He finally decided, a wide and cheeky grin painting over Thalia's face.

"Perfect!" She said happily, a sarcastic laugh coming from Lando through the phone. "I'll see you then."
