KIARA"S POV
The following week passed in blur , Hellena"s family moved in whilst i continued practicing. everyday it was just me and the mirror and the youtube, i wanted to give up so badly but i motivated myself to keep going , this was my shot at fame, my chance Mohave access to the elites, i couldn't fail myself ,not after being handed the chance freely . i polished my walk by this time i was sure no one was going to beat me
" Pack lightly we are leaving in an hour ", Ardee, who had been gone for a week announced. i picked my duffel bag immediately and stuffed some inner wear and other basic necessities before throwing on a hoodie , .
" Where are you going, hope this isn't due to him", Hellena looking dejected asked.
guilt consumed me , i couldn't imagine she had to feel that way every minute.
" no , im going to walk for Prada and Louis Vuitton ,its already Paris fashion week "
" ooh , i almost thought ... there was a loud bang before she could finish talking. I knew it was Ardee and did not want to fight wth him at all.
" I will see you once I'm back ", i told her as i bid her goodbye .
" Still taking your sweet time , i swear on my mama, you better not mess this up Kiara , i gotta debts to pay off "
i decided to be silent because the man thought he could rip me. I wasn't a finance student for nothing. The whole way to the airport no one spoke and was grateful. Within no time we had landed in Paris .
it was as beautiful as i had imagined , the Eiffel Tower was just right in front of me , i took my phone to snap pictures of it just for Ardee to snatch it ," come on i need you to go check on the outfits , you will take the photos once we are done with this", he said as he dragged me again, at this point i was used to him dragging me , at some point the man decided to carry me bridal style once he realized my pace was slow . " you cant do this , its embarrassing i pleaded "
" You should have thought about that before slowing down," he retaliated, clearly not wanting to discuss the issue no more . soon we were in the venue, the guy was just stingy. He could have paid for the taxi, but here we were . several models filled the space , some famous faces, others new just like mine but i was just happy to be here ." Who is your make-up artist? " one of the designer directed the question to me " im here "Ardee answered immediately. Goodness, I had not thought about that bit at all, i was a natural gillie just because i could not even apply a simple foundation by myself. I envied girlies who could do it for real.
After short rehearsals, we were released. Ardee was already by the door. He had booked a decent hotel at least.his room was next to mine but he dragged me to his room to practice his make-up skills on me. to my absolute surprise ,he was really flawless .
" Where did you learn that?" I couldn't help but ask .
"We had a week, baby, or do you think i spend the week drinking some green liquid and reading corny stories? "he jested .
" First of all, no matcha slander will be tolerated here ,plus those corny stories are really sweet."
" Whatever you say, miss, order some food, remember nothing heavy , biscuits and water is actually enough and get some sleep."
i went back to my room clearly not affected by whatever he had said, as long as i could remember, my metabolism had been high so i could never gain weight. However, my nerves were really acting up so i decided to lay down. Tomorrow I was going to create a big name for myself and was never going to look back
