Alexis Pov
Ugh I'm not in the mood for the studio today I have the worst headache. I took my time in the bath cause I decided to take a bubble bath to calm my headache. I spent about 30 minutes in there. After I finished I wrapped a towel around my body and went to straighten my hair. It took me only 40 minutes to get it how I desired. Then I applied my make up. I went over to my closet and looked around for something. I finally decided on a white long sleeve lace crop top and some light jeans. I went and laid it on my bed. I went and found some bright pink pointy heels. I went and put lotion and deodorant and perfume on then went to get some black panties and a black bra and put them on. I then went and put my clothes on.
Instead of going to the studio I grabbed my sketch book and put it in my purse. I grabbed my phone and my laptop and keys.
I left my apartment or luxury apartment whatever you want to call it. I hoped in my grey BMW I wanted to get a black one but I guess this one was a better fit for me at the time.
I drove to this cafe about 5 minutes from my apartment. My friend owns this place so their used to seeing me a lot. I parked my car in the first empty parking spot I found and went inside.
"Hey Alexis." On of the baristas named Brandi said from behind the counter. "Hey Brandi." I greet her. "So what you doing here should you be at the studio miss thingg." She says playfully.
"Yeah but I won't in the mood today I got the worst headache and I kind of want to be alone and this the calmest place I know except for your loud ass." I say. "Yeah whatevaaaa." she says laughing.
"So what can I get you lex?"
"Uh give me a medium frozen carmel coffee, one of them big cinnamon buns, and a hot bagel with butter." I say. "Ight you always did eat a lot." She says as she types in my order.
"You need a ibuprofen or something?" She asks me. "Yes please." I reply. She goes to the back where her stuff is and brings me the pill and a little plastic cup of water. I take them from her and swallow it.
I wait a couple minutes for my food and when it comes up I take it over to a table in the corner with the dimmest possible lighting. I pull out my sketch pad and a pencil and start to sketch some designs for my fashion line.
I alternate between sketching and on my computer doing tasks I should have finished a long time ago. I read emails and look up fabrics and materials and do bookings and look for models and do as much as I can get done today.
I check my phone since I've had it on silent all day. I decide to finally check it and I see a bunch of missed calls and texts. I decide to call my bestfriend Aaleeyah who co-owns my studio with me.
"Lee." I say as soon was she answers. "Lex where are you?" She asks. "Don't matter but how's everything?" I ask her. "Uh we good everyone doing what they suppose to." She says . I can over hear all the girls and all the noise that's why I didn't want to go cause it's so loud up in there.
"So you going tell me where your ass at?" She says. "I'm at Mel's cafe near my apartment." I say. "Why?" She says. "I don't feel good but I'm working on my computer and all of that." I say.
"That's why you don't feel good all you do is work all damn day and night." She says. "Hush you know I'm busy." I say. "Yeah but you gotta take a break sometime." She says. "I don't know just you going overwork yourself lex.." She says.
"I know I'm trying to but there's just to much I got to do." I say. "I know Lex but Imma call you later these girls trying to argue with the photograph-- Amrya sit yo ass on that damn chair we don't got time for this!!!" I hear Aaleeyah yell. "Anyways got to go bye Lexi I miss you." She says then hangs up.
I hear the bell ring announcing that someone entered the cafe I look up and see this fine darkskin boy with blonde curly hair. I sneak a quick peek at him as he makes his way to the counter.
I go back to my work and finish my 5th page of sketches. I start to smell fresh cinnamon buns I try to not get up and order one but the smell is to strong and leaves my mouth watering.
I finally lose the battle with myself and get up to order another one. I walk up to the counter and see Mel is finally here.
"Melly you trynna hand me like two of them big cinnamon buns." I say smiling. "For a model you eat to damn much but yeah hold on." She says as she goes to the back to get me them.
Odell's Pov
I went into this cafe after my morning practice to get some food cause I come down here once or twice and I haven't been disappointed. I get my food and take a seat by the door. I get my laptop out to finish reading my NFL contract modifications.
I look up and see the finest girl I ever laid my eyes on. She was light skin had long black hair a skinny little waist with thick thighs and her ass is huge. When she turned her head I got a better look at her and see her flawless smile. I also see her full lips her big eyes and tiny nose.
I debate should I talk to her or not I mean you never know if she one of them gold diggers. Nah she don't seem like the type I watch her for a couple minutes. She look like she studying or something she might be to young for me. Never know till you try.
I slowly made my way to where she was sitting she was on her second cinnamon bun. I looked over to what she was writing and I saw clothes drawings maybe she a artist or something. I stood by her table until she looked up.
"Hey you single?" I say because that's the first thing that pops into my mind.
"Alright yeah but no you going try this again honey go back and find a respectful way to greet someone take five minutes or as long as you need." She snaps. She rolls my eyes and I turn around and walk up to the counter to the girl who she got the cinnamon buns from.
"Uh excuse me you know that girl in the corner?" I ask her quietly. "Yeah that's Alexis." She says.
"Can you tell me more bout her?" I ask. "Uh why?" She asks. "I think she cute I don't know." I say.
"Well okay well she just turned 21 like a month ago, she a Instagram model-" "what's her Instagram?" I ask. I hand her my phone and she types it in. I follow her. "Okay well she's also a model and has her own clothing line and studio." she says. "Uhhhh she like 5'2, she love going to the gym and she works a lot."
"She single?" I ask. "Yeah I haven't seen her with a boy since she was 18 and that ain't end well." She says. "Uh thank you." I say.
Alexis Pov
Here comes this little boy again. He walks over to me more nervously this time. "Hey I'm sorry about earlier, my name is Odell and as soon as I saw you I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous you are." he says.
"Much better." I say blushing. "You mind if I sit here?" He asks me. I mean he's cute why not. "Yeah sure go ahead." I reply. "Alright let me get my stuff." He says he goes and gets his laptop and things.
"Aaaaleeexxxxxissss" I hear Brandi whisper yell. "What?" I say. "I see you." She winks. "Shut up." I say.
"Hey uh I didn't get your name." He says as he pulls his chair out and takes a seat. "It's Alexis." I say.
"You mind if I buy you another one of them frozen things?" He says motioning to my empty cup with only a bit of shredded ice remains at the bottom.
"Oh you going buy me a drink? Typical." I say. "So you don't want one?" He asks. "I do it's a caramel frozen coffee." I say. "Alright." He gets up and goes to order it.
I watch him come back with two of them. "I decided to get one to try it out." He says smiling as he hands me mine. I raise my eyebrows at him.
"Hey man look I'm just trynna get to know you why you gotta have a attitude?" He asks but you can tell he won't trying to be rude.
"I don't know I'm sorry." I say. "Uh let's try this again.." I say.
"Alright so what you doing here?" He asks me. "I won't trynna go into work today it's so loud and I ain't been feeling to good." I say. "Oh that's not good." He says. "So why are you here?" I ask him as I take a few sips of my drink.
"I just finished my morning practice so I decided to come here and get coffee and a sandwich while I read over my contract." He says.
"What kind of contract?" I ask. "My NFL contract they made some modifications to it." He says. Oh he in the NFL that explains why he so muscular.
"Oh you play for the Giants?" I say noticing his hoodie. "Yeah so what do you do?" He asks me. "Well I'm a model and I have a little clothing line and a studio with my bestfriend." I say. "Oh alright you be hustling for your money." He says.
"Yeah I'm always busy." I say. "So am I, I got 2 practices a day when it's football season plus I got to go to the gym." He says. "That don't sound that bad." I say giving him a funny look.
"We get over worked after practice we need IV's and oxygen sometimes." He says. "Oh damn." I say. "So what you working on here?" He says pointing to my sketches.
I grab my sketch book and put it closer to him. "Well these are body suits for one of my lines I just have to figure out what material and stitching and sizes and all that." I say. "You model these yourself?" He asks me.
"Well maybe some but I have a few girls down at my studio who also model my clothes."
"If you don't mind me asking how old are you?" He asks. "I just turned 21. You?" I reply.
"23." He says drinking the rest of the frozen coffee. "This was pretty good."
"Well duh." I say. "What you mean by that?" He says. "If I got it of course it's going be good." I say.
"You a little cocky." He says smiling. "I know yo ass ain't talking Mr. 'Are you single'" I say laughing.
"Alright I'll give you that but you know I'm cute if not you wouldn't of let me try again." he says.
"You alright." I reply. "Well damn ight." He says fake pouting. We sit and talk for a few minutes until I get a text from Lee saying one of the photographers were interviewing dropped by looking for me.
"Uh Odell this was fun but I have to run to the studio I'm sorry." I say. "Oh no it's okay business calls." He says. I start to clean everything up. "Uh Alexis can I get your number?" He says confidently. I really won't ready for a relationship or for a guy he's so sweet but I don't see me and him working out.
"Look Odell your really sweet and I would love to get to know you but I'm to busy for a guy plus I don't know if this going work out." I say.
"Nah you ain't going do me like that Imma get your number." He says. "I don't know maybe some other time." I say. "So you just going curve me." He says sadly. "No it's not that I just have a lot going on." I say. "Alright well bye Alexis let me at least help you take things to your car." He says. I smile and hand him my bag and he grabs my laptop.
"Bye Alexis." He says as he closes my car door. "Bye Odell."
