let me love you by ariana grande

Imogen.

I stared into the ceiling as I thought to myself, I was a single woman. I was lonely in the city of love. I checked my phone to see a couple messages from Maxime. It had been 4 days since I saw him, mainly because I was still embarrassed that he saw me like that.

I had a shoot scheduled today so I got up and took a shower, and threw my hair in a low bun. I texted Yasmin that I would meet her down in the lobby. I settled for jeans and and a tank top with my heeled boots and a leather jacket. I grabbed sunglasses and my purse and started heading out.

When I got to the lobby, I saw a dashing Maxime, dressed in what looked like a million dollar suit, holding his phone to his ear. His expression was cold, unusually, he lowered the phone from his ear and I swallowed my pride and walked over to him.

"Hey" I awkwardly said

"Sorry, and you are?" He sarcastically remarked as he typed on his phone

"I guess I deserve that, look I'm sorry. I was embarrassed and still adjusting to being 'single', I just needed time" I said.

"Look I don't have time for this cat and dog game. I told you I wanted you, and I know there's something inside you that craves me too" He said with cold eyes

"Wait a minute, can you just try to understand that I just got out of a relationship? I don't know what it is that you're talking about but I told you we are just friends and it will never happen" I crossed my arms

"Il me semblait que la relation avait pris fin dès votre arrivée à Paris. I don't want to be your 'friend', I don't do friends" He spat putting his hands in his pockets
[Translation: It seemed to me that the relationship had ended as soon as you arrived in Paris]

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked

"You're cute when you're mad" He laughed

"You know what? I don't know why you're acting like an ass, but I really needed my 'friend' right now" I crossed my arms

He looked around, "Theres more to this than a friendship, and I'm not interested in being just your friend" He scoffed

"Then I was wrong about you, we're merely strangers" I said

"Convenu" He looked down at me
[Translation: Agreed]

I walked away putting my sunglasses on, walking towards Yasmin, "Let's go" I walked out the hotel.

"You guys had the entire hotel staring at you. But he does have a point, you and Chuckie were done long before Paris" She nudged me

"Shut up" I said, knowing she was right but would never give her the satisfaction

I was shooting for the company and we wrapped with a final picture of all the models. I stood with Yasmin, Genevieve, Zoey and Missy, and we started dancing to Spice Girls' Wannabe.

"If you wanna be my lover!!!" We all sang in unison as we got in formation for the photo
