Chapter 3 - Exposed

Isabella Clark

I was sitting on my make up table while the make up artist was doing my make up, the hairstylist was also taking a good care of my hair. I always plugged on my headset on my ear while waiting for them to get done, i always making myself busy while they were doing their job.

Kelsie was sitting right next to me and she was also playing on her phone, she always did that while waiting for me to get done. Until I realized that i saw someone familiar from the mirror in front of me, it was Stacy Brawn my ex best friend and Anthony Harvey's new girlfriend.

Nobody told me that she was in the same cat walk as mine that day, Kelsie realized that she was there too. She gave me a look at me and told me not to pay any attention to her, yes cause some wise woman said the best revenge is showing them happiness.

"Beautiful" the make up artist said and it made me smile.

"It's all done Miss Clark" she smiled.

"Thank you so much, i love it" i smiled.

"Your hair is done too, it's perfect" the hairstylist said.

"Thank you so much" i smiled then both of them left me.

So it was only me and Kelsie who was chilling on the chair next to me while drinking on her starbuck, i looked at her like i wanted to tell her that I didn't know what to do and how to act around. I felt anxious when i had Stacy at the same space as mine, it felt like Anthony had replaced me with someone better.

"Anyway today is the day where Alex and you are going to be exposed for the first time" she said in a low tone, making sure no one heard what she just said.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Yeah, didn't you read what i texted you last night?" She asked me.

"Sorry i was too sleepy so i just replied it with an okay" i laughed and she laughed.

"Yeah he's actually here, surprisingly Mr Jerky is a super on time guy" she said before finishing her drink.

"The fact that he is here, that is automatically going to make him have to take you home" She said and it surprised me.

"What?" I felt surprised.

"Yeah, it was just a basic script you know, him taking you home"

"The media are waiting outside for the celebrities that attend this event, they're craving for a new stories" She explained and i couldn't imagine how was it going to happen.

"Oh and Anthony is Also here"

"Yeah he was supposed to watch me, i gave him the free ticket" i said in a frown.

"Just look into the positive side, he's here now it means that he can see what he just lost" She said and her words somehow motivated me.

"I hope that Jerk face knows how to act" i said to Kelsie.

"I think so" She said while nodding on her head.

"Lets see" she said.

A few minutes later i put on the designer dress and it was almost show time, i could see Stacy was talking to some of her model friends while laughing like she did nothing wrong. It hurts me to know that how could my best friend didn't even think about my feelings. I was there when her ex boyfriend moved on too fast, i was there when she cried because she found out that her ex was hanging out with some other girl. I just didn't understand if they had feelings or not, they didn't even think about me.

"1 minute until show time!" Some of the crew shouted which made me looked into the mirror  in front of me.

I was going to open then close that show which was an honor for me, i was so nervous to know that Anthony was outside. That was the first time where he was going to see me after our massive broke up.

"5 seconds!" They said.

The music began to play and there was the time where they told me to walk out of the backstage into the main runaway.

I was wearing a formal bright dress complete with a bright color heels on my both of my feet. My eyes were looking straight into the front while i kept my focus to walk on the runaway.

I could see Alex was sitting there alone at the front row and if I didn't know his personality I would falling so hard for him. He was wearing a nice clothes which made him look a lot hotter when he was outside of his office, his eyes were hazel brown while his stares were looking straight at mine. That stares always affect me, i felt my heart was pounding against my chest every time he looked at me like that.

I walked passed him then got back to the backstage where i had to change into some other clothes. His intense deep stares from those hazel brown eyes still affecting me, i was thinking about his strong stares until it was my turned again.

Which was the very last section of the catwalk, i loved my last dress. It was so pretty i felt like it made for me, it was a long dress with so many beats of diamonds on it, it was quite heavy but yet it was so beautiful.

"Miss Clark it's your turn, make it last forever" one of them told me then i walked out of the back stage into the main cat walk, closing the show that night.

My heart beat was beating faster and faster until i reached where was he sitting, but i had to make it not too obvious cause i have to keep it professional. I stayed focus while i knew everyone's eyes was looking at my direction, i was the center of attention i have to make the dress looked good. Even though in the back of my mind i was still thinking about Anthony,

Is he still watching me like he used to do?

I got back into the backstage then started to walk again leading all of the models to close the show, some of them were standing while clapping and i could see people were taking a picture of the dresses. I always feel so relived every time my steps finally got back into the back stage.

"Good job girl, you did a really great job" Kelsie said before giving me a hug.

"Now get ready for the after party, the stunt is getting started" she whispered into me.

The after party was belonged to the crew of the show where people relieved their stress and expressed their happiness, and the place where all of the models were invited and free to invite their relatives into the party, which means Stacy and Anthony could be in there too which made me felt so nervous.

I was sitting with my cocktail dress on, i was so ready for the party. Kelsie left me cause she had to take care of his son, which was so cute of them. Sometimes i felt bad that i had to take his mom away from him cause she had to follow me almost everywhere i go, but i always let Kelsie to bring Marlo if he wanted to come with us.

The party was more like a gala dinner that had so many waitresses walking around to served so many different type of delicious cakes. It was a unique after party where the music was from a life band which made the party more exciting.

Kelsie told me that Alex was going to come into this party but he hadn't been there, i was sitting alone and was trying to socialize with some other model friends. But something that really caught my attention was Anthony Harvey who was sitting next to Stacy Brawn a few tables on the left. They were sitting and talking like the world was all theirs, my heart broke into pieces to look at them who was so in love.

That was actually the first time ever i saw them together with both of my eyes, i felt being betrayed and my heart hurts. I wanted to cry but everyone would know the reason why i cried, but i kept reminding myself that happiness was the key to make him regret everything he did to me but he seemed like he wouldn't regret everything he did to me.

Alex suddenly appeared into the room, he walked towards me with a black shirt that the sleeves were being folded onto his arm, which showing his strong muscular arm. I was looking at everyone who had their eyes at him until i turned to look at his face to found out that his eyes were only had one focus, it was focused on me.

I was sipping on the red wine while watching him who was automatically looking like a hot model who was walking towards where i was sitting, the smell of his strong familiar cologne was tingling on my nose once his figure was so close to me. His appearance seemed caught everyone's attention, they were looking at the man who was walking towards me is the United States's hot bachelor.

"Hey" he nervously greet me.

"Hey" i said before pulling him into a hug, his hands seemed automatically wrapped around my waist then he hold my body close into his for a moment.

His action was very natural like he was an actor or he used to do this action to every chick that he took into his bed.

"We have to act up, everyone's watching" i whispered into his ear.

His soft lips surprisingly slowly gave a kiss on my cheek, his gestures seemed very natural since the first time he wrapped both of his hands around my waist.

"I wish no one can read our lips tonight" he said to me while his hands were still on my waist keeping our gaps close to one another.

"Yeah me too, i hate to stand this close with United States's main bastard" i said while his eyes were sparkling like we were so in love.

"Me too your mouth stinks and you smell bad" he said and it made me frown.

"I hope I don't have to kiss those unhygienic lips tonight" i said.

"Trust me that is the last thing that came into my mind" he smiled.

We were talking like we were so in love with one another, i bet they were going to be so shocked if they knew what we were talking about.

"Mr Alexander Adams" A voice from a female middle age woman suddenly greeted him, I didn't know who was she but she seemed like a good company.

"Good evening Miss Greg" he smiled before gave a kiss on her hand.

"It's been a long time since the last time we met, when was it hmm it was on a catwalk show too!" She said and i slowly nodded, he was probably with one of his lovers at that time maybe with his hooking up partner.

"Yeah" he said.

"Oh by the way this is my girlfriend Bella" He introduced me then i sent her a smile.

"Of course who doesn't know her! How lucky you are Alexander " she said and i smiled, this lady was so sweet and humble.

"Okay gotta go to a restroom, bye you two have fun" she said before walking away from both of us.

"How lucky you are Alexander" i teased him before we were sitting at the round table next to one another.

"Shut up isabella"

"How rude of you Mr Adams" i teased.

The party was getting hype everyone started to drink and dancing on the dance floor, Alex and i were still talk less. I kept looking at Anthony who was already happy with some other girl, and the lucky girl is my ex best friend who didn't even want to talk to me again.

"You're not suppose to look at someone else but me babe" Alex suddenly whispered.

I didn't want him to know my weakness so i brush out whatever he said that relate into him and my personal love life.

"I don't know what are you talking about" i said.

"Come on, Harvey who doesn't know that you two were love birds" he said, his words seemed right.

Everyone must be noticed that we used to be together in every after party and then we were at the same after party but he was with someone else.

"Okay that's it we're leaving" he said before getting up from his seat.

"Why?" I asked him.

"If you keep looking at him like that it is going to be too obvious if our relationship is fake" he whispered.

"Okay then, just drop me at my apartment" i said before getting up from my seat.

I followed him before his hand automatically hold on mine, i was trying my best to look happy when Alex had his hand holding on mine. He closed the gap between us by putting his arm around my waist, we were walking out of the party through the empty hall until he suddenly surprised me by turning me around then pinned my body onto the wall.

"What the hell?" I whispered while our faces were so close to one another.

Don't tell me this guy is horny so he looked for an empty space to use it as an advantage.

"Are you fucking horny?" I asked him then his pink lip turned into a smile.

"What the fuck no" he whispered while smiling.

"Just shut up, I'm going to kiss you" he said with his hazel brown eyes were looking at mine.

"No there's no way in the hell-"

I was pushing him away but i stopped when I realized that Anthony was walking down the empty hall alone. This bastard knew that Anthony was going to walk in that hall so he pinned me into the wall and was trying to kiss me, but being smart as i am i hide my face and nuzzled into his neck. I felt his hand started to play a role by moving it through my curves like as if we were making out.

He pulled out once he left then we continued to walked down the empty hall, we were ready to walk into his car but i stopped him.

"What happened?" He asked me.

"Wait" i said then slowly leaned to give a kiss on his neck, he looked surprised but then my hand run through his hair to make it look more messy.

"Very classic Clark" he said and i stayed in a silent.

"Lets go" he said before holding on my hand then we walked out of the main door straight into the black Mercedes car in front of us.

The camera flash were blinding my vision and i knew rumors were going to spread around the world about ;

"Young American model Isabella Clark and United states's hot bachelor Alexander Adams were caught hand in hand".
