Fated To Be Together

"Miss Smith it's time for your photoshoot". My assistant Sarah called. "five more minutes, she's almost done with her makeup". Judith my makeup artist replied her. My life has always been on the spotlight, being a model and an actress gives you some pecks. And having the owners of Sparkle Magazine, the biggest Magazine company in New York as your parents, puts you on top of the world. "ma'am you're good to go" "alright Judith, thanks so much, you have such magic hands. I can hardly recognise myself". "thanks ma'am". Judith said chuckling. "my name is Natasha or you can call me Tasha, not ma'am " I told her. "ok ma.... Tasha" "better". "hey baby girl" I hear from behind me. I turned to see my giggling friend Ariana walking towards me. She was looking very hot and cute as always, with her heavy makeup on. "you're looking very pretty" she said. "ready for your shoot?". "yeah I'm ready, you're not looking bad yourself". "aww I know". we both laughed. Ariana has been my friend since high school. We practically do everything together, except s*x of course, you know what I mean. Being the only daughter of her parents, she was given everything she wanted but it doesn't seem to be okay with her. She loves being in the spotlight. But I love her nonetheless. "have you heard from Brian?" she asked bringing me back from my thoughts. "yes, we talked this morning". "oh okay". "getting ready for the girls night out?" I asked winking at her. "oh you bet". "I've made arrangements, no paparazzi allowed" I said. "why not"? she asked pouting. "you know, don't want unnecessary attention". "the attention makes it all fun you know". "there's nothing fun in people taking pictures of you unnecessarily". "whatever. will Brian be there?" "no, it's a girl's night remember? why did you ask?" "nothing, I just wanted to know so I can bring my plus one". "uhhh, who's it this time?" "not telling you". she said winking at me. "alright Ria, you can keep him to yourself but can't hide him forever". "whatever girl. Better go and take your shoot before you have a smudge face". "yeah". * * It's been hours since I last spoke to Brian and he's yet to call me back after he promised to. He's been like this for the past three weeks, don't call, but always promise to call me back without fulfilling it. Brian is my high school sweetheart. We started dating from my sophomore year. I got to know him through Ria when she dragged me to a frat party. He was the frat president and every girl's dream. When Ria asked me to go with her to the party I refused because I wasn't the party type. But she persuaded me and I had to give in with the condition that it will be the last time. She agreed and we went As expected, when we got there, the place was filled with people, the music so loud that you can hardly hear the person behind without the person yelling. She opted we start with shots before heading to the dance floor which I reluctantly agreed. We started towards the bar side forcing our way through the sweaty bodies there. It wasn't long we started drinking when Ria sighted 'a hot dude' on the dance floor. She excused herself to go have fun leaving me all alone. As I was drinking, I suddenly felt like I was been watched. It wasn't a dangerous feeling, more like being admired. I scanned the room to find a pair of eyes looking at me from across the room. I tried to avoid the stares but to no avail. He walked up to me and I saw the most beautiful pair of hazel eyes looking directly into mine. I took my time to check him out. he has the perfect jawline, his hair styled in a tiny ponytail, his lips looked so soft and so kissable. "Hi" he interrupted my wide thought. "Hello" I replied embarrassed "care to dance?" he asked "you are so direct" I said "I don't like wasting time on what I want" he said smirking "and if I say no?" "then I'll pester you until you say yes" "confident that much?" "yes, very actually" "hmm ok, no need to be cocky". "alright". he raised his hands in mock surrender. We forced our way to the dance floor and started dancing. "I'm Brian by way, thought you should know". he whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine. "I'm Natasha, but my friends call me Tasha". "nice to meet you Tasha". "same here Brian" I looked towards the end if the room to see Ria giggling like a teenager in love with some random guy, she looked at me and winked and I smiled. "I see your friend is having fun" he said to me. "yeah she is". We talked about random things while dancing until I got tired. I checked the time and it was already past midnight. I looked at where Ria is and noticed she was gone. I called her line and she answered, apologizing for not telling me before leaving. She told me she's hooking up with one guy and I should find my way home. I ended the call with anger because she brought me out in the first place and now she has left me to find my way. Brian noticed and offered to take me home. I hesitated at first but realized that I have no other choice. We exchanged our contacts and that was the beginning of our relationship. My phone rang jolting me from my thoughts. I hurriedly checked it thinking it was Brian but was disappointed when I saw it was my assistant, Sarah. She read out my appointments for the next day which I listened to absentmindedly. When she ended the call, I went to the bathroom to take my shower, after the long day at work and at the studio, I needed a warm bath. After the shower, I went back to bed and slept off with no call or text from Brian.
