Danny extended a hand and pulled me over to the chair. “Honey, you are one lucky woman. I’d give anything to model with ….”
“Shhhh,” Aleah interrupted him with a finger to her lips. “It’s supposed to be a surprise.”
My curiosity was piqued beyond belief. I wanted to know what was going on. Glaring at Aleah through the reflection in the mirror, I pursed my lips playfully. “Why won’t you tell me? Friends aren’t supposed to keep secrets.”
Eyes twinkling, Aleah looked at me and winked. “See ya on the roof.”
She hurried out quickly, and Starr stepped in front of me, dabbing my face with foundation and smoothing it in. “Who’s this guy I’m modeling with?” I inquired, curious to see if she’d tell me now that Aleah was gone.
Starr snickered. “It’s two guys, remember? And there’s one I’d give anything to have a night with. The other is, unfortunately, taken. Or so I’ve heard.” She bit her lip and shrugged. “Guess it all depends.”
I had no clue what she was talking about. “Depends on what?”
Starr and Danny smirked at each other through the reflection in the mirror, but Danny was the one who spoke up. “Aleah will kill me if I spill. You’re just going to have to wait and find out.”
Confusion swept through me, and no amount of trying to figure it all out was helping. Who the hell would Aleah be excited for me to model with? And why all the secrecy? I’d never been nervous before in any of my modeling jobs, but now I was petrified.
