Chapter 4-- Interviews and shoots

Emily's pov-

So I wake up today with a buzz and a ring, that of my phone and I groan as I get up and reach out, looking at the caller ID- Nicole Grey.

Holy fucking shit of hell, no way is THE Nicole Grey calling me. Now a lot of people would be surprised to see the way I act around people like her- famous celebrities. A lot of people consider me to be more poised. But even though I do have my fair share of fame and money and success, I can't really hold it in much.

Nicole was the head speaker at VOGUE. It had always been my dream, ever since I was little, to be on the cover of all the top magazines in LA. That I had done and I was only 21, almost 22. So getting a magazine cover AND an interview from VOGUE was huge and I mean HUGE.

(alright sorry ignore all my caps** its meant to show emphasis, lol)

I quickly picked up the phone-

Em- Hey!

Nicole- Hello Millie, can we talk for just a second?

Em- no yeah sure we can, I am free

Nicole- cool, so I wanted to talk a little about the interview. We have a guest with us who would like to ask you a few questions too. Of Course these questions will be reviewed by your manager, Mellissa and Johnathan too.

Em- right, yeah sure that's cool, it'll be fun!

Nicole- ofcourse, so I wanted to let you know that this person will be anonymous to the 2 of us, as per our terms and I will send you an email later on to confirm the time and place and the details for it.

Em- Right, ok that's great. Thank you!

Nicole- no problem really, bye!

Em- bye!

I cut the line and sighed in content. I looked at the clock and groaned. I missed my game with dad. I then called him. "Hey dad, missed the game today", I said and he told me he had a flight to catch, he was going away for a few days, I said ok as he had to get the flight, we then decided we could talk later.

It was around 7am, I got out of bed and had some water that was in a bottle beside me. I have to drink a lot of water being a singer and a model, you have to keep your skin hydrated.

I walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, took a shower and washed my face, with my foaming face wash. Recently, around a month ago, Riley and I started a beauty and skincare line, launching our own face washes and creams and face masks and makeup products. It is quite successful, though we made a deal that she would get 60% of profits and that I would get 40% out of the 80% that came to us. I made the deal because I had a lot on my plate already and my work was quite stressful, so I would dedicate 2 days a week to the business and she would handle most of it. I would usually work on our products' quality and promotion, while she would do the packaging. We also got endorsement from our 'aunt' Jessica, who was a celebrity fashion stylist and designer, and my mom and a lot of my friends.

After that, I put on a face mask, a simple lavender one and answered some texts. I then posted a pic on insta with a fish pout. I took it off and put some light morning gel on my face. It was mid of October but it was quite windy, I still felt like it. I then let it set, dabbed the remaining residue of my face to prevent oily skin with a towel, and proceed with my makeup.

I put some foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, some simple eyeshadow from our nude, everyday eyeshadow palette. And finally put some blush, bronzer, highlighter and lip gloss to finish it off. It was around 8:30 and I rushed to get ready. I chose a simple read and black flannel button down shirt and some black ripped jeans. I had a lot of black jeans, in all different types. Perks of being rich I guess. Lol nevermind.

Then I walked out of my room to be greeted by Johnathan, Riley and 2 of my staff members. I didn't need many as I just needed my food made since I couldn't cook, I'd rather just burn down the kitchen as it is. XD and one to make the bedrooms and dust. "Good morning", Johnathan and Riley said at the same time. "Morning, sup" I said and sat down. "Eat quickly, we have to leave for the studio otherwise Mellisa is going to kill us", he said, and I mean he wasn't exactly wrong, I nodded and finished my food, it was a healthy berry fruit casserole. We said our bye's and took my keys and left.

We reached the studio just on time and then went through some of my lyrics for my main 2 singles in my album and then headed to Subway for lunch. "Hey Em, you've got an interview and a shoot with Vogue today at 6, so we need to get you ready, Johnathan, can you drive us to the place, I will put the address on the map", Melissa says to which I nod and JOhnathan says 'sure'. We reach the studio room and I meet Nicole.

"Hey!" She says and I reply.

We engaged in small talk for a bit and then I walked to the photo shoot. While walking there, I notice Blake standing with his eyes on his phone screen. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I say, "Oh I am here for a shoot too," "Oh ok nice", I say and the director cuts in, I am given clothes to change into, and then shown to the dressing room. I go in and change, around 5 minutes later 2 makeup artists come in and do some bold, though simple makeup on my face.

I then go back in and we pose for some shots and Blake and I also do a small duo shoot, I don't really wanna call it a 'couples' shoot cause we've only been on one date but yeah, something like that. When he puts his hands around my waist for a picture, I swear I feel butterflies in my stomach, but I am very good at not showing it. Later on he asks to speak to me, by now Jonathan and Melissa are discussing the questions for the interview.

I go with Blake to the corner of the room. "You look gorgeous by the way," he says and I blush, "Thanks". "So I wanted to ask if you would be my girlfriend?"
