Her apartment felt like a short walk with her mind so blurry from tonight's event. Shuffling through her purse, with her soaking hands, she pulled out her keys to unlock the door. Swinging it open,she left her wet shoes by the door, hung her coat, and tossed her purse on the chair.
Stumbling around her apartment as she tried to remove her wet clothes, all Elaine could think about was the audacious words Vincent threw at her tonight;it boils her blood. His expectations of her falling all over him felt cliche. Did he expect her to go limp at the sight of him? Or bring butterflies to her stomach when their lips met? It all felt too ridiculous. Elaine only wanted peace and quiet. Just as things were beginning to settle down, an iceberg sinks her ship.
Hoping into the hot shower, Elaine stopped and traced her bottom lip with her fingers. He kissed her. She has never kissed anyone else besides Vincent; it felt....nice. It wasn't easy for her to admit, but her young self was trying to crawl its way to the surface and crave more of him. She shut her hazel eyes, a smile pulled at her lips and a soft chuckle escaped through her teeth. How silly of her to want him now...
After showering, she slipped on her pajamas and grabbed her laptop from the living room and onto her bed. A movie should take her mind off of things and keep her company until she falls asleep. Sleep should help forget the events that took place tonight.
7:00am
Her alarm blared at her like a siren. Her arm reached over the night stand and pushed it off. A soft groan was let out from her as she got up to get ready for work. She fixed her bed, refluffing the pillows and covering it with her comforter. A quick shower, then brushed her teeth. Checking her phone for the weather, it seems that it will be sunny outside today. Last night's happening managed to slip its way into her thoughts. Clouding her mind for a few moments, but she shook it off and exhaled out.
It was just one night. New York is big and filled with people coming and going, the odds of seeing him again should be very little. Except for the fact that his fiance was a model. A sudden, scary thought comes through her mind. What if Giana finds out about their kiss? Elaine's heart began to race, almost beating out of her petite chest.
Glancing over at the clock, she was going to be late for work. The thought of breakfast hadn't crossed her mind while she stormed out of her apartment and made her way to work.
Opening the big glass door, Elaine pressed the elevator button going up. In a few moments, the machine dings and the door slid open. She pressed the 14th floor. Reaching her level, she made her way over to her office.
"Good Morning everyone," she said with a smile on her face as she passed the cubicles outside her office.
Elaine sat on her desk, typed in her computer password and began to fiddle with her designs. Her focus was straight onto the screen as she edits the color, texture, and patterns to her liking.
The phone on her desk began to ring, she pressed the speaker button,
"Elaine Porter speaking,"
"Elaine darling, its Isabelle. I sent you an email regarding the topic with Mrs. Tellez's dress for red carpet. I also wanted to run over some other things with you later before you leave, so please stop by my office. Thanks Elaine." The dial tone followed right after she finished, leaving Elaine no room for a single word. She didn't seem to notice her quick disappearance last night which is a huge relief for Elaine.
Scrolling through her e-mail, below the email regarding Mrs. Tellez's dress, was the circulation about the Fall Fashion Show. Scanning through the lines, it is being held Paris, France. As much as this excited her, a big part of her was worried that Giana would also be attending, considering that she is a model, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if she, too, is invited to such an event. Elaine didn't bother lingering on that thought and proceeded with the request Isabelle wanted her to look over.
