"Be on your best behavior."
Ned told his children as they were watching the movers pack in their things. Alanna Stark being the eldest of her siblings watched on thr front porch as boxes were being carried inside.
"Aren't we always?"
Robb joked as he shared a smirk with Jon, who merely rolled his eyes. Arya and Sansa both sighed. And of course Brian was no where to be seen.
"You heard me. And I won't tell you again. We're in a respectable neighborhood now. I won't have my neighbors second guessing my family."
Ned said as he stepped aside for the movers. Alanna sighed and walked off the porch. She looked around the area. The grass on each yard was green and cut. Trees were nice and the white walls that separated houses was something like you'd see in magazines.
Alanna glanced to the house caddy corner and across the street. It was the largest of them all but she didn't understand why.
"That's Tywin Lannister's home."
Robb said walking up beside Alanna. Her eyes widened as she looked to Robb.
"You mean the guy that own Casterly Rock? The place that makes the high-end jewlrey?"
Robb nodded. It was indeed Tywin's home. Alanna turned back and looked at it better. The large white walls of the home game it an intimidating look. The high walls even more so. It had to be at least a three story home, if not more. Their two story was nothing in comarasion to the Lannister's.
"His daughter runs a fashion company doesn't she?"
Sansa said walking up beside them. Alanna and Robb looked to their younger sibling.
"Yeah. I heard you'll be going to school with her son, Joffery."
Alanna said causing Sansa to turn red in the face. Joffery was a model, rather young for his age, but he had what it takes to sell the clothes for not only his mother but for other companies. Alanna knew that Joffery was someone that Sansa had a celebrity crush on since she was younger.
"Wonder if we'll ever even see them? Aren't you suppose to be like super busy being that rich?"
Arya questioned walking over to the conversation. Robb just chuckled and shrugged.
"Who knows. I could care less about them."
"Then why did you even bring it up?"
Alanna questioned smirking at him. Robb rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Cause I didn't think you even knew who they were."
He said right as a black car pulled up to almost a stop in front of their house. Alanna arched a brow as she watched the black tinted windows show her reflection. Her long brown hair was tossed back into a messy bun and her blue tank top and black shorts seemed even darker in the reflection.
The children were silent as the car came to a stop and the back window rolled down.
"Hello there. I'm guessing you're our new neighbors?"
Alanna blinked several times. She knew this man was Tyrion Lannister. The youngest sibling of the three.
"You'd guess right."
Robb said looking at him. Tyrion's eyes turned around all the children, seeing their unamused faces, until he came to the tall brunet, Alanna.
"Well, you all look so enthused to be here. I'm Tyrion Lannister. Son of Tywin Lannister. I would love to stay and chat but I'm running late."
He said his eyes never leaving Alanna.
"Perhaps we'll be able to have a proper meeting soon."
Robb looked from Tyrion to Alanna and then back to Tyrion. He frowned deeply and shrugged moving a bit to be more beside his sister, causing Tyrion to look at him instead.
"Perhaps. We're going to be very, very busy ourselves unpacking."
Alanna cocked a brow looking at Robb. Tyrion however chuckled.
"Yes, well, good luck to your unpacking."
He said rolling up the window, his eyes glancing to Alanna once more before the car pulled up into the Lannister drive way and back behind the walls.
"Rich people are fucking weird!"
"Arya!!"
Alanna scolded when Arya proclaimed that rather loudly. The little girl looked toward her elder sister.
"What! They are!"
She defended.
"Oh my God shut up!"
Sansa scolded as she walked away from the three of them. Robb was trying to keep from laughing but failing horribly. And Alanna was doing everything in her powers to not roll her eyes dramatically.
"Heard you met Tyrion Lannister."
Kat said as she came home from work. Alanna looked to her mother arching a brow.
"Who told you?"
Kat just smiled softly as she came inside their new home. She was dressed in her suit and carried her brief case down by her side.
"I attended a meeting today with some higher ups. Tyrion was one of them. He said I had beautiful children."
Alanna rolled her eyes. The two of them were currently in their living room. All the walls in the house were white washed. Alanna was currently sitting in the middle of the floor on their blue rug. The house had all wood through and through, minus the tile in the bathrooms.
"You met with Tyrion?"
Alanna questioned hearing Arya and Brian shouting from up stairs. Kat nodded as she dropped her case beside her and sat down on the floor.
"He seems rather interested with you. Any reason why?"
Alanna glanced up from her book. She looked to her mother and shrugged. She hasn't done anything thatcould have even made Tyrion interested in her. After all it wasn't as if she was skinny, she had curves and wide hips - child bearing hips as her father called them - her breasts weren't large but weren't small either.
And her face wasn't pretty from what she knew. She was average.
But everyone always complemented on one thing about her. That was her blue-golden eyes.
"He asked how old you were and if you had a job."
"What is he offering me work now?"
Kat frowned at the smart mouth her daughter had always telling her that it would end up getting her into trouble one day.
"Alanna, the Lannister's are nothing to joke about. They're the most powerful family in the world."
"Yeah I know, Cersei is married to the King yet still does her clothing line. They're like the Royal Family of money."
"Yes. She's married to the King, but that doesn't change the fact that she's still a Lannister."
Kat said patting her daughter on the knee. Alanna sighed and looked to her mother.
"So what? He wants me as a paper pusher or something?"
Alanna questioned listening to Ned now yelling in the background at his children. Kat snorted and shook her head sighing.
"He thinks you'd be good for his sister as a model."
"A what?"
Alanna questioned. She hasn't ever heard a more ridiculous request in all her life.
"Surely he's joking? Me? Has he seen me?"
"Apparently yes. He's seen you well enough to know that he wants you to do it."
Alanna felt her cheeks warm. That's why he was looking at her so intently. She shook her head.
"Why me?"
"Cersei is apparently making her line marketed toward... bigger women now."
Alanna's mouth fell open. She was indeed a little on the heavy side but that was due to her curves and breasts.
"He wants me to be a fat model for his sister!?"
"Alanna -- "
"Oh my God!"
She said climbing up from the floor. She shook her head and did a slight turn putting the book on the floor.
"It's not a big deal, Alanna! He meant you're a very.... curvy woman and she needs women like that! You're not fat persay, just.... Just bigger boned!"
Alanna couldn't believe her mother right now. She should have never moved here. She should have taken up her friend on the offer to stay up North and live there with him. But no, her father wouldn't allow her to live with a man that she wasn't married to.
"Just try it out sweetheart. Worst comes to worse you don't like it and you can stop. But these are the Lannister's and we can't just say no to them. Your father and I both work for their company -- "
"And what will father say? Father doesn't even like the clothes I wear now what happens when I have to model underwear!"
Kat just chuckled as she climbed back onto her feet. She approached her daughter and placed her hands on her shoulders. Her daughter was slightly taller than herself, but that never once stopped Kat from doing her job.
"You'll be fine. Tyrion wants you to come in tomorrow with me, he'll take you to meet his sister and things will go from there."
Alanna sighed. Anxiety was the least of her problems now. She had to go in and dress up for the Lannister's and do whatever they told her.
She felt like nothing more than a puppet on a string.
"So this is her?"
Cersei questioned when she seen her dwarf brother bringing her the girl he had spoken so highly about. Alanna entered the room. A photo session was currently taking place and it seemed that the woman was indeed modeling underwear.
Alanna felt her blood run cold.
"Hello to you as well dear sweet sister of mine."
Tyrion greeted. Cersei scoffed and rolled her eyes. Cersei and Tyrion were both dressed nicely in red and black suits while Alanna was dressed in some black pants and a white shirt. Nothing professional at all, but st least she looked nice.
"Yes, this is Alanna Stark. She's one of our new neighbors. And eldest daughter to Edward Stark, the man who works so closely with your husband."
Cersei glanced toward Alanna something sparked in the woman's eyes.
"Really? How nice to meet you. Seems Tyrion wasn't wrong when he said he has an eye for... beauty."
"Nice to meet you too."
Cersei said shaking Alanna's hand. Alanna swallowed nervously. Cersei mono tone wasn't doing anything to help Alanna's nervousness. In fact Cersei's way of carrying herself did the opposite.
"I have some things for you to try on. A few different positions I want you in. They're in the back when you're ready come out and we'll give you a test try."
Cersei instructed pointing toward the small curtain across the way. Alanna nodded and picked up her feet moving to where Cersei had requested. When she moved the curtain out of the way she was instantly greeted with 'Lannister Red' underwear. It was their newest line.
Red, lacy, with a little golden lion crest in the middle of the breast.
Alanna felt her stomach turn as she knew this would cover nothing. Picking up the bra she looked at the size and was shocked to see it was hers. She was baffled as to how Tyrion knew her size...
It must have been her mother.
At least she hoped.
Once she was naked and had the things on Alanna walked out of the room nearly shaking. She noticed quickly that when she left Tyrion and Cersei it had been just them two talking. But now there was a third person.
"Um, I'm ready?"
Alanna said causing the three to look at her. She felt almost frozen in place when the older man made eye contact with her. The way his eyes trailed from the top of her body and quickly darting back up caused goosebumps.
"It looks lovely on you."
Cersei said while Tyrion stood there slightly taken back by the fact of just how fantastic it did indeed look on her.
"Now, let's see if you can model it."
She said pointing toward the chair that sat in front of the white backdrop. Alanna looked from there then back to them before walking over. She felt her cheeks warm, knowing that her ass wasn't covered at all and everyone seen what she had to offer.
This left no room for imagination at all.
Sitting in front of the camera, the camera man smiled and started to direct Alanna how to pose and what to do.
All the whole from across the room.
"Where did you find this one?"
Tywin questioned as he moved his walking cane from one hand to the other. Cersei just gave her father a sly smirk.
"She's Edward Stark's eldest and Tyrion found her. Apparently they've moved in across the street from us."
Cersei said looking at her father, watching him watching Alanna. Tyrion watched Alanna doing different positions long enough until he had to excuse himself. Cersei rolled her eyes and turned back to her father.
"What do you think? Rather fat isn't she? But I -- "
"If you call wide hips fat then I think you need to rethink your line of work."
Tywin snorted. Cersei frowned. She didn't think her father would have said something like that about Alanna.
He watched closely as Alanna went and leaned over the chair as it was turned sideways facing the door. He inhaled deeply, his eyes looking everywhere on her body, then going to her eyes.
"Hire her."
Tywin said as he straightened his back. Cersei frowned and nearly glared at her father.
"Pardon?"
"You heard me. With a body like that you'll sell your larger line of clothing and cause teen boys to buy your magazines."
Cersei was completely floored with her father right now. Looking from him back to Alanna, she couldn't even being to imagine how something like that could sell better than what already was.
"Are you complementing her? Father she's -- "
"I'm stating a fact. You will hire her. And that's that."
Tywin said as he picked up his walking cane and headed for the door. Leaving Cersei fuming and wanting to kill something.
