"Spread your legs" Elisa demanded. I did as she said. "Yes, wider" she commanded.
"Yeah, just like that babe. Now arch your back, I wanna see those curves." I arched my back and closed my eyes.
"You're doing so good. Now slightly lift your hi-" "Fuck it hurts. I can't take it any longer" I groaned. "Just two more mins darlin' trust me you'll love it" she cooed.
"Okay I'm going in for it" she moved my hair behind my ear. "Fast" I groaned.
"Yes yes, I'm trying" she said as she clicked a few shots. "And we're done" she said and I didn't waste second before falling on my back.
"You were clicking photos or making me do yoga?" I exaggerated it more than required. She shrugged "It's not my fault that you show up in such a beautiful dress"
I looked down and frowned. "Well you suggested brown. It fits the theme." She grinned "Obviously, you look like a sexy hot Venetian bitch from the 16th Century "
I got up and smoothened my dress proudly. She chuckled when I held my chin up and walked towards her like a celebrity. "Hmmm you look amazing in the shots" she hummed looking at her camera.
"I wanna seeee" I got excited. "What time is it? Don't you have a conference?" She diverted the topic and looked down at her watch. Fuck. I almost forgot about it. "Oh fuck fuck fuckkkk" I quickly grabbed my stuff and put my glasses on.
"I'll see you laterrr" I said loudly as I rushed out of the studio tying my hair up in a quick bun. A random girl raised her brow at me. Uh? What?
I ran down the hallway before I heard her whispering something like "what was she even doing in there?"
I made a quick call to Cassy making sure everything was ready. Once she ensured me that everything was ready and everyone was present I hung up the call opening the door to the conference room.
I rushed to the podium as everyone stared at me like a fucking koala at a zoo. I placed my bag on the floor and fixed my glasses as I looked down at the papers. My eyes bulged out of their socket when I saw she set the wrong set of papers.
She stood at the corner as I gave her a wide eyed tight smile. Okay here we go. I looked up and started "Um good morning everyone. As we all know we are here-" wait why are we here? Oh fuck you voices!
"To discuss about the festival coming up. I'd like to get straight to the business-" so unprofessional of me.
"So, I have looked through your documentaries and all of em were....um presentable. But I'd like to announce that we are having change in plans. Yeah unfortunately we do"
I could feel the eyes suddenly. Fuck. No. Not now. The lavendery scent masked the atmosphere. "Um so-" I looked down at the papers which were obviously not the ones.
"We are going for one theme throughout the festival" I immidiately heard groans. "Yeah, I know you'll all upset, but I decided the best for you all. Um so I'll be dividing everyone into groups, obviously"
The room was silent. The chills slowly ran down my spine. "So um there's a lot of you guys here-" I took off my glasses and rubbed my forehead feeling my core get warmer.
"So there are three groups. The performers, some of you guys are going to set up book stalls I heard. Some want to perform games while some want to perform. So I got a huge list-" I clenched my thighs as beads of sweat formed on the top of my forehead.
"So I have selected the groups and set it up accordingly. The performers will have a meeting with me on Friday" I bit my lips as I bent down to grab a few papers from my bag.
I handed the papers to her. "Stick em on the board, please" she nodded as she took the papers monetarily grabbing my hands. "Are you alright?"
I gave a tight smile and nodded.
"The volunteers, you guys will be assigned to each part of the festival and I'll deeply explain your jobs to you on the meeting on Saturday" I cleared my throat.
I readjusted my feet and tried to breathe as I felt my senses getting dizzy. "And lastly the sub volunteers, you guys are the new interns and the juniors. The meeting's on Monday."
I gripped the corners of the podium as I sucked in a deep breath, I think I need to pee. "Um, so the new interns, I hope all of you are present today. Um Mr. Xavier Hunt?" I looked around the room.
A tall guy of about 6 feet stood up. He had light brown hair and mismatched eyes. One a dark brown the other one the lightest green. A thin yet strong structure and a clear glass skin. Wow, boy got a good skin care routine.
"I'm Xavier" he said briefly. "Okay" I said shortly as suddenly I could breathe again the lavenders removing themselves from the atmosphere. "Meet me after the meeting Mr. Hunt" I stated. I continued on a few other basic informations and finally ended the meeting.
"Um thankyou everyone. Please checkout your names and groups from the board out there." I said getting off the podium. I grabbed my bag and was about to rush out when Cassy gripped my forearm. "Hey, where are you going? We're n-" "I need to pee really bad" I cut her and ran to the washroom as she let my hand loose.
I wiped my sweaty forehead as my nerves calmed. Okay, like why? I know I get nervous but what the fuck is with this dude? I never felt this way. Like never.
I sighed as I got up pulling my panties up and flushing the toilet. Okay. That was embarassing. I washed my hands and looked at myself in the mirror. Freak. Okay yes I can do this.
I got out of the washroom and ran into something. I'd rather say someone. Again. I hissed as I rubbed my forehead. That is when I realised. I had arms around my waist.
I looked up. "Hey, are you alright?" Ivan asked me with amusement filling his voice. He finds this funny? But you know what? Haha I don't. I pulled away quickly and said a quick sorry.
Obviously.
But what is he doing in front of the women's room? I looked at him with confusion and he got the signal. "Oh no no I'm I saw you running this way I was worried if you're alright! Trust me! I-uh!!!!"
Awe. That's so sweet. And embarassing. But sweet. He's worried. "Yeah um yes I'm alright" I said as I slipped a strand of hair behind my ear. He smiled. "You look beautiful"
Yeah. What else do I need in my life?
"Thanks" I looked down as my cheeks heated up. Okay. It's the 3rd time he called me beautiful!!
"How about coffee?" He asked pointing towards the exit. Why why whyyyyyy do I have a meeting?! "Um, I..uh I have a meeting" I looked up slowly. He raised a brow.
"Another one?" "Um no it's just the new member, I need to talk to him about his uh details?" I tried explain as I stuttered.
Oh god why? Again. "I can wait" he shrugged. My eyes went big as I raised my hands up to protest "No no I will wait. Don't make that face. You've been avoiding my coffee plan for a while. Not this time" he announced.
I nodded as he left me no room for argument. "Great" he said as he walked out expecting me to follow. I sighed. I guess then coffee it is.
