Interlocked fingers

Chapter 8

'Hey!! Manager said that she wants shots of you and you'll be ready to go!'

It was my sister and I literally eeked loudly on the plane. Yess yay happy dance whoohoo

I replied back

'Omg thanks hun your the best! Where should I go?'

When she texted me back she told me to go to her managers office tomorrow at 12. I replied of course and set an appointment on my phone for tomorrow.

When the plane landed, I got off as fast as possible. I was walking out the airport and then I stopped short because I saw myself, on a magazine, in a newsstand and I died. On the front cover it said;

"Power couple Sophia and Nathaniel: Is it love or business?"

On the cover was us last night at the gala. I bought two copies and started reading it in the taxi.

"Sophia and Nathaniel are set to marry in less than a month, yet this is the second tim we've seen them together. "They are very private. I have not even met him and I'm her best friend" says Clara Bridgefield, a close friend of Sophia's whose a model. The couple has posted intimate pictures on Instagram and of each other. "I'm so proud of her to find the man that she belongs with" quoted from Sophia's mother. Jaqueline, Nathaniels sister, was in a relationship which she ended up ending and admitting was fake. The engagement has only been 3 months and the couple has set no final reservations for the wedding. Rumors of Sophia going into modeling started sprouting last night because she was seen with Adriana, her sister who has worked for Balmain, Chanel and Ralph Lauren. The couple has let out some details about the wedding but we'll have to see whether its for the lust or the dollar signs."

After finishing the article, I was feeling many things. First was excitement, then a little embarrassment that we weren't acting well enough, then guilty and finally self confident. Somebody had noticed me last night and felt I was good enough to write about.

I sent a picture of the article to Nathaniel. I know he read it but I think he was still a little bit aggrivated with me. I got to my apartment and put my bags down and left to go out with Samantha.

We were meeting up in Starbucks on the upper east side. Samantha was really nice the first time I met her but I hoped it wouldn't be awkward. I pulled up and parked my car right near Starbucks. I saw her waiting outside and went over to hug her.

"Hey Samantha"

"Hey girl" Samantha was very much European, with her slim body and exotic mix of colors. Her eyes were a dark, rich brown and her hair was a light blonde. Her skin was very pale and she was quite the trendsetter.

We went inside and sat down at a secluded booth and began chatting like crazy.

"So your engaged?" She said curiously.

"Yeah, Nathaniels great" I lied and I felt so guilty.

"I've heard of him. I thought he was like a billionaire playboy"

"He was. We fell in love so quickly that it began hard to change his appearance"

"Yeah it is! When I got married to John, it was literally like the worst time ever because everyone that I was like sleazy and now I became a model" she said, kind of bragging.

"Thats awesome but I just don't understand how you dealt with all the comments!" It was so awkward and fake I literally died inside. She was really nice but had a very high ego.

"Well to be honest, my marriage with John is fake. All publicity." she said shrugging her shoulders " We fell in love but if we were dating we would have broken up a long time ago"

"Really? Why?" I asked. She was obviously calming down and being honest with me. I like that in a friend but I knew I wasn't being honest. I don't want to slip and have the whole thing explode in my face.

The conversation went on for another hour and we walked around Madison Avenue. At around 7 we went our separate ways. I decided I would stop at Nathaniel's house first just to get my ring back. He had been mad I left it at his house so I knew I had to get it.

When I got to his apartment, I knocked on the door as usual. I heard the locks unlocking and saw Nathaniel's head peak out.

"Um hi" he said anxiously.

"Hey I just came to pick my ring up"

"Uh yeah I'll get it wait here"

And then I heard it. Literally the saddest words I've heard and I dont know why.

"Nate, come back to bed"
