WILL LIAM

Beep Beep Beep…

Alora's alarm rang out loudly. She still had sleep in her eyes, so she snoozed the alarm to continue with her sleep till she realized what day it was. 

It was her big day. 

She had a shoot with a very important brand and in order to make a good impression, she intended to be there very early. She jumped out of her bed pulling off the pink sleeping eye mask from her face and throwing it to the side of her room as she ran to the bathroom. 

She was a bit messy. 

She took a nice Warm shower and made sure to wash her brown curly hair with a lot of conditioner so it would come out soft and shiny for her photoshoot. 

She put on her bathrobe and did her regular skincare routine and applied a facemask even though her skin already looked flawless. She dried out her hair and curled it with a curler. She was doing the most. 

Still in her bathrobe, she headed downstairs to eat her breakfast that was already being prepared by her best friend Mandy. She served her plain pancakes alongside orange juice while they had a conversation about how this photoshoot was going to change her career for the better. 

"We have an hour to be on set. So go get dressed. We don't want to run late because of traffic." Mandy was evidently more excited about the photoshoot than Alora.

"Let me eat, Mandy," Alora grumbled. 

"Fine. I'm going to my room to get dressed. When you are done eating get dressed so we can leave"

"Aren't you having breakfast with me?" Alora asked

"No, not yet, I have some calls to make. " Mandy walked away with a smile on her face. 

Alora after having breakfast headed back to her room to find a nice outfit that looked both beautiful and professional. 

She chose a red knee-length gown with long silk sleeves and a black heel. She picked out her favourite black purse and proceeded downstairs. 

"You look stunning" Mandy complimented. 

"Thank you, you do too"

"Come on, let's go"

They got into Alora's Black Midsize Sedan car which She owned for 2 years now. 

"I'm calling Oliver. He was supposed to call me this morning but he didn't" she brought out her phone dailing Oliver's number. 

"He isn't picking" she dailed his number again with hopes he'll answer. 

"We'll call him later Alora. Let's focus on you"

"I know, I'm just worried". 

"I'm sure he had a busy night. Let the man sleep." Mandy wasn't a fan of Oliver because before dating Alora he was known to be a playboy and she didn't believe he would change to a loyal boyfriend that fast but as long as he made her best friend happy, she was happy. 

Alora finally gave up on calling Oliver and sent him a good morning text. She logged out of her social media and talked some more with Mandy. 

°°°°°°°°°°°°

The set was busy with lots of people walking left and right doing their jobs. 

"Miss Alora?" A tall Young lady in her late twenties called out. She had her hair in a high ponytail and a wide smile on her face

"Yes, that's me." Alora replied and shook the hand of the nice Lady. 

"I'm your makeup artist for today. Thanks for being early."

"All thanks to my best friend, Mandy." Mandy, who was standing behind Alora, walked forward and shook her hand. 

"It's nice to meet you," She said. 

"The hair stylist is waiting in your dressing room. Let's go." Alora and Mandy followed behind the lady while they both talked about how nice she was to them. 

It took a while to get Alora ready. The make-up artist did a very light make-up since the theme of the photoshoot was natural beauty and the hair stylist did a very simple-looking yet sophisticated style. 

Alora had a change of clothes and was alone in her dressing room calling Oliver 

"Miss. Alora, The shoot is starting in 5 minutes." The Make-up artist called out from the other side of the door. 

"Okay. I'll be out right now." Alora tried calling Oliver again but he didn't pick up. 

Maybe Mandy was right, Maybe he had a busy night.

"Come on, the photographer and his team are here". Mandy announces and Alora followed behind Mandy to where the photoshoot was going to take place.
