SASHA’S POVThe day was finally here. The sky looked gloomy, like it understood the pressure weighing down on me.The building buzzed with its usual activities, the same routine we have been through for days. But in my ears, everything felt amplified; from the clacking of heels, to the rack rolling, thunderous chatter that filled the air as models tried to hide their fears.This night meant everything.Tonight was the night that would determine their future. Just like movie actors, they were movies that ended careers.And that also meant that if I failed to bring my A game, everything could crumble.House of Sab, was coming out of hiding. I had only one option, make it the most memorable night that has ever been experienced.“Mrs. Beck, the model she is pregnant. Her dress can’t fit,”My fingers trembled, eyes wide as I heard the latest update. My grandfather had always said, if things don’t go south before they become good then the success wouldn’t have a great story.But this wasn’t
SASHA’S POVThe drive home was quiet, as much as he tried to ask questions about my day, I couldn’t help but feel like something was about to go wrong.“You are quiet,” he muttered, his fingers playing with the back of my hand.The soothing motion did nothing to calm the turmoil that raged deep within me, “Just thinking,”He smiled, “Thinking about what?”I stared down at my feet, how was I going to tell him that I was consumed with the premonition that doom was just behind the curtain?I shook my head, I couldn’t dwell on what I hadn’t seen, Noah had made dinner for us, and I needed to dwell in the moment.A slight frown formed on my face, “I thought we were going for dinner,”I didn’t oppose a quiet night at home, but the thought of food had excited my stomach far beyond how I would like for it to be tamed.“Yes we will, I just have to grab something real quick,” he said in a sly tone.There was something about the way he smiled as if he was almost bursting through his seams trying
SASHA’S POV“Are you going to stop fighting with your heart?”I jumped up, eyes wide as I looked around the room, the television played, a rom-com, explaining the love life of two people who kept on denying each other.You are overthinking things,” I muttered to myself, turning off the television.I couldn’t watch the show, not when it sounded so close to home.“Why are you glaring at the television, did I miss anything?” Nina said, walking into the room.I plastered a nice smile on my face, I wasn’t going to let her know that I was still reeling from the almost kiss that I had with Noah.“Nothing, just nervous about the show,” I whispered.“Look it is going to be awesome, look, the media is already excited for the show,”That was another part, the show was in two days, and now, I was nothing but a bundle of nerves.“The clothes….”“I have sent everything to them, all you have to do now is come out with your pretty smile and make the world your own,” she said, cutting me off immediate
NOAH’S POVSomewhere between the dough making and tasting, we had forgotten bout the main reason why we were in the kitchen and were covered head to toe in flour.Sasha hadn’t stopped laughing, her tiny snorts making her sound like a cute little baby as he shrieked, trying to dodge my attack.“Noah!” she squeaked, hiding behind the shelf, flour in hand ready to attack.She wasn’t playing fair. She unarmed me with those tiny cute doe eyes, and when she knew that I was weak enough, she would attack. I didn’t mind it, not when I would use those few minutes to wrap my hand around her and steal kisses on her neck.“Come on, just step out, and I promise I will do you no harm,” I said.“No!” she yelled.“Then I guess I will huff and puff until I blow your straws down,” I teased.She threw her head back, letting out the biggest laugh I had ever imagined: " Did you just quote three little pigs?”I shrugged, “What? The story is one of the greatest that I have read as a child. I mean, it made me
