~ Hush Hush

Payton P.O.V.

"I like you Payton and I know your going to make it very very far in the modeling business but.."

I swear but is my new most hated word ever! "But?" I asked. I haven't done anything wrong. I answered all her question politely. I smiled through the entire thing and Tristen has said nothing but hi to them and keep himself in place. What could she possible find wrong with me?

"What's your relationship status?" Jen asked tapping her pen against the table. Relationship status? With who? I'm only with...oh!

"I'm in a relationship" I said quickly with a smile on my face. "That's my boyfriend over there."

She looked over my shoulder and I knew she was looking at Tristen who was waiting patiently for me to finish up this interview. She raised her eyebrows before shaking her head. "Payton your sexy and these pictures are going to show just that and more. Once you make it big in this business no one's going to be very happy when they find out you have a boyfriend."

Makes sense...but what the hell do she wants me to do about this.

I wanted to say so many things to this lady that would get me in trouble but I resisted. I wanted to tell her that it was none of her or the worlds business what my relationship status was. I wanted to tell her that it's kind of tough to break up with your mate...not that I was going to do that. Basically I wanted to tell her a whole lot of things but instead I bit my tongue and smiled.

"So what are you going to do about him?" Lady you shouldn't be worrying about what I'm going to do about my mate, instead you should be more worried about your well being.

"Nothing" I said blankly hoping that she'll get the picture.

Jen just merrily shrugged before forgetting about our previous conversation. "Well Payton" she said closing the binder that was set on her lap "are you ready to start modeling or what?" she asked. 

Today must be Christmas because I could see lights! I squealed before getting out my seat and jumping up and down. "Yes, yes, yes!" I screamed before quickly composing myself. I'm at a professional working environment. I shouldn't be jumping up and down like a seventeen year old girl. I got to play it cool. I sat down and slightly blushed as I saw people starring at me. "Sorry" I mumbled "I'm just so excited." 

"I could tell" she laughed at me. Great now she thinking I'm a complete mess.

"How soon can you start?" Jen asked her brown brow raised.

"Whenever" I said hoping that it came out smoothly. 

"Alright Payton luck is really on your side because there's a photo shoot right upstairs for Forever21 and their main girl can't make it because she's in the hospital."

I sucked in a sharp breathe. I hated hospital, they always gave me a bad vibe. "What happened to her?" I asked.

"Alcohol poisoning" Jen said as if it were no big deal.

"I hope she feels better."

Jen just chuckled before rolling her eyes and nothing in particular. "No one told that twig to swallow  down one thousand shots down her skimpy throat. I'm surprised she could take that much liquor, she couldn't even finish a burger." Jen's not a very nice person as you could see, but at least she tells the truth.

She stood up and I stood up with her before she motioned for me to follow. "Come on hon, your girlfriend right here just hit the jackpot" Jen said out loud. Tristen got up and came towards us and that's when Jen took the led, leading us to the elevator. 

As soon as the elevator doors closed she turned to me with a big smile on her face. "This one photo-shoot is going to be thee photo-shoot that's going to have every modeling company wanting you in their close and on the runway."

Just knowing that I'm just moments away from my first photo-shoot had me giddy already. "This is Forever21summer line that won't be in store until July 1st. However the magazine that will have your face all over it isn't due to come out until Wednesday. 

"That's in four days" I said as I did the calculation in my mind and July 1st wan't until Sunday.

"Exactly" Jen cheer. Before I could comprehend what was happening the elevator doors open and Jen led me down a long hallway and once we were at the end all excitement was replace with nerves. There were lots of people walking around, yelling, screaming. There were flashes and bright lights, camera's everywhere. This great big room was spilt into sections of different photo-shoot with bright backgrounds that screamed summer but what made me even more nervous was the sight of the other girls....oops I mean ladies walking on and offset as if it were a piece of cake.

I felt intimidated. How was I suppose to compete with that? Sure I took a few model picture but it was only for fun and I didn't look half as good as all these girls did. Suddenly I had myself question why Jen agreed to be my agent so fast when I had no experience at all.

We stepped out of the elevator but not before Tristen grabbed onto my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.'Relax' he mouthed to me. I weakly smiled back at him as I tried doing just that but trust me it was a challenge as we walked deeper and deeper into this jungle. 

Jen snorted as a model passed by us. Jen looked her up and down before gagging loud enough for her to hear us. She turned around and gave us a dirty look before Jen flipped her the finger and kept it moving. "One thing you have to have in this world regardless is natural beauty, not any of these creatures here have that Payton. Under all that make up is a beast which is why your making it far my darling. The less make up they have to us on you the better."

I liked Jen, she had a good sense of humor but I have a very stronge feeling that a lot of people aren't her biggest fans. What can you say? The truth hurt and it seems like Jen goes around slapping the truth in every ones face.

"Wait right here Payton" she eyed Tristen up and down before shrugging "lover boy. I'm going to have a word with a few people." Jen turned on her four inch heels and stunted off.

"I can't believe I'm really here Tristen. Do you see this I finally made it!" I said as I squeezed his hands and much as I can. "Thank you so much."

He shrugged his shoulders before kissing the tip of my noes. "Anything for you" he said. His voice sound strained and he wrapped me in his arms and hugged me close. I don't think he meant to say it and I don't think I was meant to hear him say  "and everything for you."

I was confused but I was too excited to question him. I really am a mess, first I'm super excited and then I'm nervous but I'm guessing this happens to all first timers. "Make her prettier then she already is. I want to see this girl shine brighter then the sun." 

Jen caught off guard as a group of people followed her over to me and without much warning dragged me away from Tristen. Before I could be dragged away I could see Jen walking up to Tristen he motioning him to follow her. "Let's get something to eat lover boy. Eleven photo-shoots is definitely going to drain the energy out of all of us" Jen said before Tristen gave me one more encouraging smile before they walked the opposite way.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

How knew eleven photo-shoots would last ten and a half hours...Well that is including hair, make up and getting dressed. Getting dressed was easy it's just the hair and make up that annoyed me. I had my hair styled more times then I can remember and a new make up brush against my skin over a thousand times but there is an up part to this all.

I've learn new way to style my hair thanks to a new friend that I now have and his name is Toby. One thing for sure was that he loves talking but the reason why I think we got along so fast was because he reminded me of Trisha. Oh, how I miss my crazy, caring, superhyper best friend!

The camara guy loved me more then the direction of the set did. He said I had a natural talent and a few models that were actually nice enough to talk to me couldn't agree more. 

I was able to keep a few of the close that I wore in the photo-shoot thanks to Jen. 

Tristen stayed the whole ten and a half hours with me, cheering me on and watching from behind the camara. By the time we were all done and the director called it a wrap I was more then happy to go home as I changed out of the stylish dress that I wore in the last photo-shoot. 

The only people left were me, Jen, Tristen, the photographer, director and a couple of other people like the creators, editors, hair and makeup artist. As soon as I was done changing when there was a knock on the dressing room door and I called for the person to come in.

"You look out of it" Tristen said as he closed the dressing room door behind him. 

"Just tired that's all" I told him just as I yawned. "Ready to get out of here? Jen said she'll call you tomorrow and tell you how the magazine goes." I nodded before grabbing the bag with my new close in them and standing up.

Tristen came besides me and grabbed onto my other hand before leading me out of the dressing room. On our way to the elevator I said bye to the director and camera man and I was hoping to see Toby before I left but didn't. Oh well, he was my number and promised to call me.

We got into the elevator and Tristen pressed the number one before the elevator doors closed and begun moving. I leaned me head against his should blade was I closed my eyes and thought of the life changing day that I just had. 

I had fun even though it wiped out every fiber of my energy but it was worth it. I felt like the center of attention once I got in front of the camera. All nervousness was gone and it was like I was living in the moment...it was like I was playing a role and being someone that I always wanted to be. I felt in change...so empowered and confident!

I'm so calling my mom and Trisha in the morning...they is going to be so proud of me!

The doors opened again and we found ourselves in the empty lobby...the only people there were the security guards and the lady at the front desk. We walked through the lobby as both security guards said 'goodnight' to the both of us.

As soon as we exited the building I remembered how cold the summer night could be. I wrapped my arm around Tristen waist and I had a strange feeling that I shouldn't of did that but I didn't know why. We walked to the care in silence as soon as we were in the car we started off finding our way our of the city and back to White Plains.

"You did great today" Tristen mumbled as he glanced at me from the corner of his eyes. I gave him a small smile. 

"That's all because I have an amazing mate" I told him leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek. His jaw tensed but he quickly composed himself. Leaning back in my seat I closed my eyes as my vision became fuzzy. "I owe you Tristen".

When he didn't answer me I opened my eyes to see that he looked deep in thought. After a couple more minutes of silence I knew he wasn't going to respond to I just starred outside the window as we made our way on the highway. 

Tristen phone begun ringing on the dashboard and before he could pick it up I took it off the dashboard and it said 'Marco'. "It's Marco" I told him and he motioned for me to pick it up so that's what I did.

"Tristen it took me a while but I got an idea that can push her into..." 

"Marco I'm driving and your on speaker" Tristen said quickly cutting Marco off from what he was saying. "We're on our way back to the cabin. We just left Manhattan not to long ago."

I couldn't help but to be suspicious. "What were you saying Marco?" I asked all whiling watching Tristen grip the steering wheel a little tighter and his jaw tense up. 

It took Marco a minute to answer me "I got an idea that can push Jasmine into going to Cancun.." Marco said quickly. I knew Jasmine was Marco's mate...she was nice and friendly but I knew he was lying. Both of them were. "Why couldn't she want to go to Cancun?" I asked casually.

"She doesn't like spicy foods.." he said in a duh tone. That made no sense at all. 

For the next ten minutes we had a three way conversation until Marco claimed he had to go. I leaned my head against the window before doozing off. I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

==========================================================================

Oh well. I had fun and plus..I finally got the crab sauce stain off my dress :)
