<~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~>

I decided to get out of bed, get dressed and then go to order some pizza because making love to your significant other sure does make you hungry afterwards.

As I walked to get my phone it started ringing so instead of walking I practically dashed for the phone when I got to it I was hoping to see an unknown number seeing as it was nearing midnight and they still haven't called but instead it was my mother. I picked it up before she hung up.

"Hey mom, what's up?" I said immediately trying not to let the disappointment show in my voice.

"Well I just got home and I didn't call to tell you I was coming cause I wanted to surprise you but now I know that I should've called ahead of time because your not here. Chase isn't here either. Is he with you?" She asked.

"I have no idea where he is but he might be with my friend Dani cause they are dating now. I can call him for you if you want. But I'm actually in Parkersville right now with my boyfriend. We came down here because this talent scout was here and I have an interest in modeling and so does my boyfriend. We're staying over night but we should be home by tomorrow evening. Right now we're just waiting patiently to see if the talent scouts will call they said if they don't call by midnight then we didn't make the cut. So if I sounded disappointed when I answered the phone it's because I ran to the phone thinking it was them." I said with a little chuckle at the end comment.

"BOYFRIEND? You did not tell me you had a boyfriend. Felicity you have some explaining t—" She said as a beeping sound came through on my side of the phone indicating that I had another call coming in. Hmm saved by the telephone. When I looked at the number it was an unknown number and my heart started beating quickly. My hands suddenly felt clammy.

"Um mom I'm sorry to cut off your little lecture but I have another call coming in and it could be the talent scout so I really need to answer it but I promise we will talk when I get home. Bye love you." I said quickly and hanging up before I could hear her reply. I switched the call over as quickly as I could.

"He-hello?" I said shakily.

"Hi. Is this Felicity Grey?" The professional voice said on the other end of the phone.

"Yes." I said with a very squeaky tone that should've made me cringe if I wasn't so nervous.

"Hi, yes this is Sandra Nichols. I'm a talent scout from today's event and after Bruce Roberts spoke to all of the scouts here including myself your name came up and he spoke very highly of you. He showed us your assigned document and you seem like the perfect fit for what we're looking for. So I was wondering if you could meet tomorrow morning say maybe 10:00 or if that's not a good time then we can meet at a later time. But I was very impressed with the way you explained why you wanted to become a model and so were many others here so I would like a sit down with you if that's alright. Is it?" Sandra spoke on the other line. I was barely containing the squeal that was threatening to escape my lips.

"Yes ma'am I can meet at 10:00. Thank you so much. I will definitely be there tomorrow." I said as an arm went around my waist and I knew that Julian was waiting for me to get off the phone to figure out who I was speaking with.

"Okay sounds great. Just meet me in the same room we were in today. And no thank you for taking a risk and coming to express how you feel about this profession. I will see you tomorrow Miss Grey have a nice day and good bye." And with that she hung up. As soon as she did I started squealing and jumping up and down. I turned to look at Julian and he must've been able to tell what happened just by the amusement and the excitement on my face and in my mood.

I would've kept jumping if I hadn't realized that they hadn't called Julian back yet. So I slowly stopped jumping and turned to Julian and gave him a big hug and kiss. I picked up my phone and told him I was ordering pizza.

He walked back into the bedroom and I dialed the number. As soon as they answered I ordered a pepperoni pizza and some buffalo wings. Then as I hung up I heard a 'WOOHOO' come from the bedroom. I ran in to see what was happening and Julian practically tackled me. After he broke away from me he saw the confusion on my face so he spoke,

"They called Felicity! I have a meeting with them tomorrow at 10:00!" He yelled with excitement.

"No way! Oh my gosh this is amazing. Julian you understand what this means right?" I said with an ear splitting smile on my face.

"WE DID IT!" We both said in unison.

We immediately started jumping up and down again and there seemed to be nothing that could contain our excitement. So to get us to quit hollering before there was a noise complaint I kissed Julian as hard as I could and I just kept kissing him even on the cheeks. I kissed all over his face. Then I broke away.

"Julian! This is a really big deal. I can't believe it. We actually did it!" I said loudly.

"I know baby cakes! I know!" He said before inhaling heavily as if he used all the oxygen he had in his body just to say those six words.

"Oh my gosh! I love you so much! If it wasn't for you then I would've never went through with this." I said.

"I love you too Licity I don't think you know how much." He said.

"I have a pretty good idea." I said before kissing him one last time and then went to the bed and took the sheets off the bed and then called room service for more sheets.

There was a knock at the door and I quickly ran to it thinking it was the pizza but instead of course it was a hotel employee with our sheets. I gave a quick thanks before retreating back to the bedroom to make the bed up. Then the food finally got here so Julian went to the door to get it while I finished making up the bed.

After I finished it I went to the living room part of the hotel room and grabbed a slice of pizza out of the box. I plopped down on to the couch and then Julian went back to the room. When he came back he was all smiles and not even ten minutes later there was a knock at the door.

Julian shot up off the couch and ran to the door when he came back he had a bucket of ice with a bottle of champagne in it.

"This occasion calls for celebration." He said.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed two wine glasses before coming to sit back down on the couch. He popped the bottle open and I let out a squeal of delight as the cork flew through the air. He filled my glass then his. And then we did the cheers thing with our glasses and I drank two glasses before putting it away for the night.

After we finished eating I took a quick shower and then retreated to bed. I was asleep before Julian got out of the shower.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~~>

When I woke up I checked the time and it was 9:00 so I smacked Julian on the arm before running to the bathroom to quickly get ready. Julian did the same and then we were both ready to go down to the ballroom.

We got there just in time too because a lady in a very formal dress called us over as she sat down in her chair. We weren't the only people in here there were others but we were the only ones meeting with Sandra. We walked over and sat down across from Sandra.

She stuck her hand out to shake our hands before laying out our documents before carrying on with the interview, "Okay so I told you both on the phone why we thought you were a perfect fit for the company. Now I'm gonna speak to you both right here but I will talk to you individually is that okay?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am." We said in unison.

"Okay well you two may be working with each other a lot so I would like it if you would introduce yourselves to each other. I'm gonna go grab a water so just get to know each other. Also do either of you want a water?" She asked politely.

"Well actually we already know each other. We came here together. We're a couple. And if it's no trouble I would love a water." I said.

"Me too. Thanks." Julian said with a tone I had never heard him use before. Maybe this is what he sounded like when he was nervous. How cute.

"Julian are you okay?" I said asking just to hear him confirm my suspicions.

"Yeah. I'm just a little nervous. What about you? Are you okay?" He asked. I took his hand in mine to ease his nervousness before replying,

"Yeah I'm just fine. And it's okay to be nervous. But I am so happy to hear that we could be working together a lot." I said.

"Yeah me too. I just hope nothing screws this up." He said with a shaky voice. Man who would've thought that just this situation would make him more nervous then me. He usually didn't care about attention seeing as he always had some.

"Hey. Don't worry Julian it'll be fine. That scout I talked to yesterday told me that optimism is a great thing to have in this business. So just be optimistic and don't worry you will be fine." I said while rubbing my thumb over the back of his hand to reassure.

"Okay." He said before blinking a few times and shaking his head as if to clear it of all negative thoughts. I'm not really sure if it worked but he looked to be more comfortable so I guess it helped in some way.

When Sandra came back and handed Julian his water he practically drank it all in one gulp. I guess he wasn't okay after all.

"Okay Miss Grey I'm gonna start with you. Are you ready?" She asked with a smile upon her face.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I said with enough cheer to make her face light up.

"Okay well as I looked at your portfolio which is this document right here, I saw that you are about to be 18 is that correct?" She asked. When I nodded she proceeded.

"Well I'm assuming your a senior in high school unless your home schooled." She said.

"Yes I will be graduating in four and a half months."

"Well if you were younger we would ask if you would want to do online schooling since you would be too busy but since your about to graduate we wanted to give you the option of finishing out the school year and then you give us a call and we will have you a job almost immediately. So what would you like to do?" She asked while clasping her hands together.

"Yes I think I will finish out the school year then give you a call. And just to be sure this means that I'm signed with your modeling agency or not yet?" I asked.

"Well as soon as you sign this contract that I have in this folder here then you will be signed on to my agency." She said while pulling out a nude colored folder and putting it on the table.

"Just be sure to read all the regulations and stuff on the contract cause I don't want you to sign on and then have a disagreement with something in the company. This is a 2 year contract so when you sign along that dotted line you belong to this company until those two years are up. So be cautious before you just sign your name." She said.

I looked down at the contract and while I was reading through it she was starting her interview with Julian. By the time I finished reading Julian was reading along on the contract. But before I signed I had one question.

"I can still take my college courses online right? Like if I have it arranged because I still want to have options just in case I decide to change careers after the two years are up." I asked warily.

"Yes ma'am we can actually speak with the head professor ourselves to get the point across. There shouldn't be a problem." She said before adding, "Have you been accepted to any colleges yet?" She asked.

"Well I sent in my college applications last month which was a bit early but I should be heading back very soon. I will definitely give you a call when I get news." I said while finally signing my name on the dotted line.

"Speaking of giving me a call, you can't exactly do that without my number so here's my card." She said while handing Julian and I both individual cards with her contact information on it.

"I suppose you are right about that one." I said while I let out a little chuckle.

"Well I have to go now. It was very nice to meet you two. Julian whenever you finish with the contract just slide it back into this folder. Have a nice day. And all professionalism aside I think you two are a wonderful couple. The cameras should love you." She said right before giving us a little wave. I waved back and then turned my attention to Julian.

"So what did you decide about finishing school or not." I asked while putting my hands on his shoulders and leaning beside his head to see the contract.

"Of course I said I was going to graduate. What kind of fool would I be to quit this close to finishing after I spent most of my life working up to the moment where I could walk across the stage in my cap and gown and then shake hands with the principle and then grab my diploma then at the end throw my cap up in the air. And most of all what kind of fool would I be to leave my beautiful, completely sexy girlfriend to graduate without me." He said before turning his head to plant a small kiss on my cheek.

I swear this boy really does have a way with words. He never ceases to amaze me. I can't go not one day without blushing up a storm. Not only did I sign a contract to be a model I also signed myself up for many many years of uncontrollable blushing. Oh well it was worth it.

Julian signed his name and put the contract in the folder then we went back up to the room. We went inside and grabbed our things and put  them back in their bags. Then we got all of it and went to get in the car. It was time to go home.

On the way back we stopped at granny's kitchen to get some breakfast but then as soon as we left we went straight to my house. It was officially time Julian met my mom.

As we got out the car my mom came rushing towards me and slammed into me before squeezing me hard enough to crack a rib. Ow!

"Mom I can-can't breathe." I struggled to breathe while saying it.

"Oh sorry honey." She said after letting me go. Her gaze left from me and went over towards Julian.

"Well I don't believe we've met." She said.

"Hi. I'm Julian Moreau." He said it so casually like his own name was a brand name.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Julian I'm Kathleen." She said.

"Nice to meet you Kathleen." He said warily.

"Okay can we carry on with this conversation inside?" I asked.

"Yeah let's get inside its freezing out here." She said while ushering us both inside.

When we got inside the house the warmth of the house almost knocked me down. It felt so good in here. And it smelled like snicker doodles.

"You two came just in time I just got the tree decorated and I just pulled the snicker doodles out the oven. Come on in the kitchen." She said with her motherly tone.

When we got inside the kitchen I almost pounced on the cookies but some how managed to control myself.

"So how did the talent scout thing go?" My mom asked as she grabbed small plates and cups and the milk.

"Julian and I just got signed on to a modeling agency mom! She said as soon as we graduate she can have a job ready for us. And she said that it can be arranged for me to take my college courses online and she said she will talk to the head professor for me. As soon as I get an acceptance letter from one of the school's I applied for then I will call her and she will speak to the professor. Isn't that great?!?" I said as my excitement came back.

"Omg Felicity that is so great honey I'm so glad your happy." She said before turning her gaze back to Julian and adding,"So how did you two meet?" She said.

"Well we've always known each other just never spoke until last year then we went through a whole bunch of drama and now we've been dating for 3 months. But we were already in love before we started dating." Julian said.

"Woah! In love? You two are in love?" She barely squeaked out.

"Um, yeah. Is that a problem?" I asked.

"No hun just surprising. Anyways here are your cookies. How long are you staying Julian?" She said while taking a bite out of a cookie.

"Actually after I finish the cookies I have to go because my parents are expecting me." He said.

"Okay well like I said earlier it was nice to meet you. Now dig in." She said ushering to the cookies before leaving the kitchen.

I grabbed a few cookies and Julian did the same and as we ate we talked about our Christmas plans then he had to go so he leaned down to give me a quick kiss before leaving.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~>

Not too long after Julian left did Chase come home. My mom, Chase, and I sat in front of the fire place near the tree while drinking hot chocolate and listening to my mother tell us about her travels.

We spent the rest of the Christmas break with our mother then she had to go again. And then after she left I had to go back to school.

School was really stressful but I got through it. And now graduation day was looming over head. We had exactly a week before graduation was here and we were all worried. I had been accepted into Walesview University and I was given the approval to do my college courses online. Now all I had to do was get through graduation week and everything should be fine. At least I hope it is..........

<~~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~~>
