Jenny walked into a four-storey building and showed the print of the email she has received. She was finding it hard to believe she had gotten this opportunity. She was never the person to make it public before things get official but still had tried for Kiara’s number twice since last night which had gone unanswered.

“Miss Park,” A woman came into the waiting area and Jenny was quick to stand on her feet flashing the best smile. She was interviewed by two people but none of them was Kevin or his famous girlfriend, Claudia who handles this brand with him.

Jenny who didn’t have much to give except her desire to learn could tell she wasn’t going to be accepted there. But soon a tall woman came in interrupting the gentlemen who were interviewing her. Jenny was quick to recognize her. “So, you are Miss Park. Welcome, abroad.”

Jenny looked at the man who was interviewing her before looking at Claudia. “I loved your designs. Do you know anything about stitching? Or…”

“I don’t know much but I can use a needle,” Jenny replied,

“Great, why don’t you join me in my day?” Claudia offered and Jenny was quick to nod her head.

Claudia could already see Jason was playing around with a good girl. But then she huffed out thinking if this girl was persistent she won’t mind working for them even after realizing how she was hired.

Claudia asked her to pick her bag for her and Jenny took a moment to realize her gesture but was quick to follow. “Of course,”

Jenny got to the creative department and inhaled the vibrancy of the place. Even early in the morning, she could spot a few people caffeinated. One could tell some of them hadn’t gone back home.

“Kevin has gone to the Milan fashion week. But don’t worry I don’t think he will mind hiring me a new assistant.” Jenny blinked wondering assistant. But wasn’t she waitressing that doesn’t really align with what she plans to do in the future?

She walked behind Claudia to get into a more spacious setting that had many premium designs on the display. “We have this exclusive area to take measures for our models." Jenny nodded her head but halted the moment she turned around. "...We have one important influencer coming today. Why don’t you get someone to tidy up this place?"

“Yea, of course,…” But before she completed Claudia instructed. “Also, get me a coffee. My office is on the top floor. Anyone can tell you.” Jenny nodded again and asked someone to help her out of the place. Jenny instructed the cleaner on what could be done to tidy up the place before she left to get coffee for Claudia. She noticed someone sitting there but the moment she placed the coffee and turned to look at the man her smile froze.

“You?” She whispered a little,

“Are you his fan too? Jason, you are famous. Aren’t you? I think I am right to hire you for our new line.” Jenny wondered if he was the influencer she was talking about earlier. Jenny looked at Claudia who hummed a little before asking Jenny. “Jenny, right? Why don’t you show Jason the area? So, we can take his measures?” Jenny nodded a little. She doesn’t know why she was all flustered. It was her first day that she wanted to go all good. But now all she cares about is him trying to get her fired. And, even if he doesn’t do that. He himself was quite a distraction. And, she certainly didn’t know what to do if he was to hit on her again.

“Mr Wilson,” Jenny called for his attention and he finally looked at her with a proud smirk. All of a sudden she recalls what she told him that night. She waited for him to start walking and hated why they had to take an elevator together. Not to mention the elevator was all empty.

Jason was the first one to get in and Jenny noticed him getting the button. It was obvious he wasn’t here for the first time and, Jenny who was lost wondering how he has to be him slowly got into the elevator too. Jason could tell she didn’t want to come in.

“How are you doing Ms Park?” She looked up puzzled about how he knew her last name but what left her mouth was a gasp. She looked at her back and was terrified looking at her skirt tearing and slipping away as the elevator comes down. “No!” She yelled and tried her best to pull the fabric but heard Jason, “Don’t,” Coming forward he tear the leftover to get her to his side.

Jason inhaled her strawberry scent. And, with her shivering body in his arms, he could tell she was terrified but all his body could feel was how amazing she felt against him. She was the woman he couldn’t stop thinking about since setting his eyes on her. The things he wanted to do with her had him excited right away.

Jenny finally looked at him before she looked down at her black panties. “Oh my god,”

“Relax, it's fine. And, you got good legs.” But getting her shoulder up she got away from his hold all the while pulling her shirt down.

Jason found it hard not to look at the firm flesh at her rear. “Stop looking at me!” Jenny told him but the moment Jason noticed her eyes misty his smile froze. “It’s not your fault, relax.”

She started panting looking at how they were only one floor away from their destination.

“Hey…” Jason tried to say but then started unbuttoning his jeans. “What are you doing?” Jenny gritted. Her anxiety spiked.

“Only trying to make you less awkward.”

“D...do…don’t do that,” Jenny told him but it was already too late when he was standing in his boxers and the elevator door opened.

To her surprise, there was no one at the elevator but she still couldn’t find it in her to step out. “Lucky for you, you are standing in a building where it is common for the models to walk in anything. It’s fine, Jenny.” Jason encouraged but she only blinked looking at the exit before looking at him. “I am no model!”

This made Jason exhale before he said, “Yea, you are somehow better...” He got a hold of her wrist and got her out. There were indeed a few people passing who of course, stopped to look at them but Jason was quick to drag her to the emergency staircase. “Stay here, and, I will be back with something.”

He left and Jenny looked down before shutting her eyes in horror. This should haven’t happened. She rubbed a tear away and was still a little unsettled when Jason came back with a black satin skirt. She didn’t look into his eyes but got it right away.

“Are you fine?” Jason asked and she inhaled sharply. “Yeah, I am.” She started telling herself that it was an accident. It could have happened to anyone. But was she a two-year-old who didn’t realize she was standing too close to the elevator door? Holding her head high she looked at Jason. “Let me show you the way,”

“I know the ways,” And, this made her look at him.

“I am asked to show you the way. So, let me do it.” But then realizing her voice came out a little sharp she toned down a bit walking out of the staircase. “Thank you for…”

“Uh ah, don’t thank me. I could have done the same for anyone,” And, this made Jenny look at him. She wanted to hate that smirk on his face but couldn’t.

“Why don’t you put on your pants?” Jenny asked him but he only chuckled. “Don’t tell me you don’t like the view."

Jenny showed him to the room and tried not to look at him. But somehow he would catch her glance at him every single time. She was hating where this was going.

One of the stylists who was leading his measurements and designs called for Jenny’s attention. “Miss Park, schedule Mr Wilson for another appointment.” But then looking at Jason he continued, “What about this Friday? You can call Miss Park any time. She is personally assisting Claudia and can get you in.”

“Of course,” Jason replied and looked at Jenny at the end.

Jenny could feel there was something in the air that was pushing them together but not giving it much thought she pulled her professional smile. “Anytime,”

Around noon she had excused herself to attend her class and Claudia allowed her to skip. But getting out she couldn’t help taking huge gulps of air. That black skirt was a reminder of her most embarrassing day.

She was almost dragging her feet walking into her room in the evening when she noticed a few cardboard boxes and two men standing in her dorm room. Spotting her friend Kiara at her left wasn’t hard too. “Don’t tell me you are leaving.” Kiara turned around and has a lively smile on her face. “Yea, you can’t believe it too, right?” Looking at her happy face Jenny’s heart sank for a moment but then she gulped hard.

“I…” There was so much she wanted to share with her. She hadn’t celebrated getting this internship. Or share this incident that had happened.

“What? You are not happy for me,” Kiara asked,

“I didn’t realize it will be this soon, Kiara. You could have called me. I am literally walking into you with all these boxes. Also, you didn’t even return my calls,” But Kiara only shook her head. “It doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me. And, don’t do this. At least, congratulate me on my new apartment. Also, you are coming to my housewarming party tomorrow. Ok?”

"Congratulations, Kiara," Jenny's shoulder slumped forward. Jenny tried not to bawl but it was going to be so lonely not having Kiara around all the time. Thanks to her schedule now she didn’t have any time to make friends.

Kiara was talking to someone else and seemed a little detached leaving the room. No matter how hard Jenny tried to find the reason for her sudden plans she couldn’t. Looking at the empty room was indeed a reminder of where she stands in her personal life. Everyone except her had families to prioritize. Getting a broom she was about to clear the clutter Kiara had left behind when her phone rang. It was a new number and she accepted the call without much thought. "Hello?"

“Miss Park,” She could tell who it was. And, she too was quick to respond. “Mr Wilson,” The chuckle on the other side was indeed a reminder of how she was calling him Mr Wilson now.

“So, now that I am Mr Wilson somehow. Will you mind me calling you now?” She sighed a little and Jason was quick to catch. “If you said no, I won’t bother you again. But I want a clear no.” She caught a little serious warning in his tone. A second passed before another.

He looked persistent. But his image through his videos was still quite strong in her eyes. She just knew they weren’t meant to be a thing. And, for her first boyfriend, it has to be someone whose goals and values align with hers.

“I don’t know you. It’s not practical…” His chuckle got her speech,

“It’s not a no. I am surprised.” He wasn’t. He knew only a woman with no brain would tell him no. And, Jenny gave that ambitious vibe. She was among those who would want more and all.

“Maybe you didn’t hear me,” Jenny whispered,

“I heard enough. Jenny, I am not proposing to you marriage. I am interested in you for a few reasons. And, if you give us a chance we can explore what we are looking for. And, see if this works or not. I seriously refuse to see what a big deal…is”

“For me, it is a big deal, Mr Wilson. I have never been in a commitment. And, I want my first to be…”

“Are you a virgin?” His stern voice cut her off and she narrowed her eyes wondering why he was asking.

“And, why do you think you can ask?” She lay on her bed moving her legs off the bed.

“Fine, I get it’s your first time. But I am only talking about seeing each other. I won’t be your first if I am not your boyfriend, right?” And, Jenny could already see her brain busting open. She felt cornered.

“And, what does seeing each other involves?” She asked,

“Going out, maybe grabbing some drink for now.” Jenny exhaled a little before looking at her room. “My roommate vacated the room today. I have to clean up all of it. So, bye?”

“Which indicates you are alone in your dorm room. Can I sneak in? I will help and you can treat me to a pizza?”

“You know how to clean? And, no, why do you think I will let you in?” They both laughed before Jason offered, “I know a lot of stuff,” Jenny could tell he was lying. But seeing him with a broom was indeed going to be a sight. Also, treating him to a pizza was going to pay for the help he offered her in the morning too. She bit her lip shaking her head. Of course, not me trying to find reasons to let him in.

“What type of pizza do you prefer?” She asked at the end.

In only an hour, Jason knocked on her door and she was surprised to find him with a large box of pizza. Jenny didn’t know why she put on a gloss or her deodorant. It wasn’t necessary at all, right? But there was this giddy feeling and having him in the room seems like a stupid decision at one moment and but at another, she didn’t want this night to pass so quickly.

Jason really didn’t know how to clean around. He didn’t even know how to properly handle a broom. But he looked cute trying before Jenny told him. “It’s fine. I can do it in an hour.” She was munching over a slice sitting on her bed. Jason let it go and dropped himself in front of her on the other side of the pizza box.

Jenny wonder what they will talk about but Jason knew how to keep the conversation going. He started asking her about her friend and took it to what she had plans for her future. He made it all about her during the whole conversation. Sitting on Jenny’s bed with a huge box of pizza in the middle Jason noticed her eyes moving to his mouth a few times. Other times he would kiss the girl right away but with her, he wanted to approach without making any noise. He wanted her to want him. Only this was what he wanted.

Jenny woke up groaning in the morning but widened her eyes finding Jason lying next to her. She remember how he turned her lonely night around. Stop glancing at his perfect skin was hard. From his perfect brows to his mouth which was a hard line on his chiselled jaw, he was made with perfection. God did take his time making him. A surge of guilt passed her seeing him sleeping without any covers. He still had his grey t-shirt and black jeans on. She was about to get the covers on him when her eyes fell on his morning hardness. Covering him she was about to step down from the bed carefully when she heard him. “Was this one good or I should give you my better view.” Of course, she was embarrassed a little but tried to cover it.

“I am getting late for my class. Don’t you have any classes?” She looked around and her room was still a mess. In fact, more of a mess with a large Pizza box, beers and his shoes around the room.

“Yea, but I will be here for some more time,” He replied before getting her pillow between his legs and getting his back relaxed on her bed. She wonders if Jason Wilson was for real who only leaned on her headboard for the whole night. Was she even worth this much?

Jenny bit her mouth looking at his strong arms. The image of her and not this pillow flashed in her mind but she was quick to clear her throat. “Fine, you can have ten more minutes.” She took her clothes to take a quick shower and walked back into the room in blue jeans and a black top. She was collecting her notes when she caught him looking at her. He had his head propped up with his arm.

“You are good to go?” Jenny asked but he only stared at her before announcing.

“I will pick you up at five.” Of course, she remembers telling him about the home warming party Kiara was throwing. “I have a party,…”

“I won’t mind joining,” He replied and she shot her brows up. Was she ready to be seen with him?

“I think we decided on…”

“I won’t tell anyone you are my girlfriend. Not yet,” The word girlfriend literally dropped the room temperature for her.

She knew it was futile. Any girl seen with him was meant to be trying on him. But she found herself saying. “Are you sure you don’t have any other plans? I mean you are quite an active influencer. You must have tons of things going on...” But seeing him smiling as if he was enjoying her excuses she trailed off.

But he was confident when he said, “Are you by any chance scared of my limelight? You can tell me if you can’t handle it.” He whispered and she swear he could see the blush on her face. She managed a scoff before telling him off. “There is no such thing,”

“Five it is then,” He got out of her bed and started walking towards her. Intently but slowly. She tried to take a step back but there was something in his eyes that kept her fastened to her place. Leaning down he kissed her head and she only gulped. “See you in the evening,” He said and she nodded her head. “Fine,”

But the moment he walked out of her door she dropped her jaw. “What I am doing?”
