"El, darling! Have you seen the number one trending hashtag on Twitter yet?" I was still half asleep while talking to manager Danica.
I opened one of my eyes to see the time on my phone, but I immediately closed it again due to the sudden exposure of light to my eyes.
"Ouch! My eye hurts, my head too. What time is it? I'm still sleepy." I complained to my manager.
"How can you be sleeping at a situation like this? Aren't you excited? You're trending in twitter, El." My manager's voice echoed like crazy inside my head, until suddenly everything went silent, and all I can hear is my heart that's throbbing so fast.
"I'm trending?" I asked with mixed emotions. I'm kind of happy, and scared, but mostly happy.
"How many times do I have to repeat myself El? Wake up and see for yourself, right now." My manager commanded in a exciting tone.
Ofcourse I too got excited and went to see it before eyes. OMG! She's not lying, I'm trending alright, but not just me.
Yesterday I had a photoshoot with Beryl, I guess people thinks we have some chemistry, everyone did started cheering and smiling once we started the shoot.
The number one trending hashtag in twitter right now is #BeryEl, #HowtobeEl coming on second, and WishIwasBeryl on third.
I clicked on the hashtag to see what the people are saying right now, I Know it's not recommended for models like me to look at comments, but It's okay I'm tough, their critiques won't affect me at all.
A tweet said "Oh my God guys! Have you seen Beryl and El's new pictures from their photoshoot? If you haven't y'all are missing out lots of hot stuff. Hastag BeryEl. "
Another tweet from ImIndianaRock said "El's hands on Beryl's chest makes me so jealous of her. Hastag how to be El?"
" Man El Del Acosta'e body is a solid ten! She's hot like fire, I tell you. Hastag WishIwasBeryl. " Another tweet from MadMax13.
Seeing their tweets makes flush in joy, I guess all that workouts and healthy eating proved me it was worth it all along.
Ofcourse it's not always all positive, there were also some few bashers and body shamers, but that's okay it's the twentieth century for god's sake. The town is growing and the world is turning.
I scrolled the app more before switching to scroll again in Instagram. A notification from my bestfriend Ralph popped up, he's congratulating me for my success he says. I replied back with a simple thank you and told him that I'll tell him stories when I'm no longer busy. I always have lots of messages in this app because a lot of people send me messages, mostly fans, but also friends, and ofcourse some bashers.
I'm currently reading my follower's mentions one by one, I see they're enjoying my new released pictures with Beryl too. These people are fast, they've already made lots of great and fun-looking edits of our pictures. Lots of Fan accounts also tagged me on their posts, they've reposted Beryl and I's pictures, some also made videos from it.
I don't react on this posts because the fans will get mad if I reacted on another fan's post, and not on theirs, they'll think that I'm being unfair. I really think all the edits are great, I want to thank them atleast for the effort.
"I have an idea," I whispered to myself and went to my vanity area.
I opened my drawers and took my make up kit, I'm not that good in doing make up looks, but I know how to make myself look good.
I took my Dior foundation, pumped three times on my face and tapped it using a sponge to spread the liquid. I know it's already late, but I need to thank my fans for their edits.
After putting some concealer, a little bit of contour and some blush, I'm currently putting some eye shadow on my eyes, it's not a colorful color, just some nude ones. Simplicity is beauty you know.
I motioned a kiss on my lips after putting some lipstick, I made a cute wink and some poses in the mirror before proceeding back to my bead to film a video.
I turned on the lights on my room first, combed my hair and then press the add story button on Instagram. "Hello to all my fans! My manager woke me up and said you did a great job supporting me, you made me trending that sleep left my body already." I said as soon as I started filming.
I paused for a while to breathe and fix my hair and then continued speaking. "I know, I know it's late, but I just couldn't go back to sleep again after seeing all those edits and effort you gave to my pictures. Also I want to thank Beryl's fans who said such kind words to me in twitter, and to all those wondering I want to answer a question. No, Beryl and I are not dating, well not yet. Just kidding! Don't take me seriously." I laughed at the thought of teasing the fans, and then my face went serious again.
"Don't worry girls your crush is not yet taken, he's all yours. " I smiled to hide my sly smirk. Oh my God! After he teased me on the shoot, I've lost any interest on that guy, as you can tell I don't like being teased at all.
"I still have work on the morning, I'll be ending the video now, thank you so much for you support everyone!" I turned off my WiFi connection after posting the video on my story.
Beryl's fans had so much to say about my body, mostly the toxic girls. I erased everything I read about body shaming and just tried to relax on the bed.
I'm gorgeous with or without their praises.
"ELLLLLL!!!! WAKE UP!" Valerie kept on shouting and hitting me with a pillow.
"Ten more minutes!" I yelled back. I still need more sleep, seriously do they think I get this beauty for free? No! I take care of it, that's why it's so pretty.
"Manager wanted us to surprise you for a job well done the other day, so we brought you your favorites." Aileen said while preparing the breakfast table.
"What's that?" I asked secretly smiling, I'm acting like I'm not excited so that they won't tease me about the pictures again.
They've been so wild screaming and hyping us on the shoot the other day, ofcouse out of all those people there my assistants are the noisiest ones.
"We have French toast, sunny side ups, and ofcourse your banana smoothie." They said so I couldn't contain my happiness anymore.
"You guys! Thank you." I'm really happy to eat normal again, I went on a vegetable diet right before the last photoshoot to achieve that sexy looking body. I really do deserve this.
"Don't eat too much, okay? You still have a shoot for a make up brand today." Aileen reminded me while preparing my seat.
"Come on, stand up now." Valerie squeezed my hand and pulled me to stand up.
"Thank you," I thanked Valerie for helping me stand up before proceeding to go outside my balcony to eat breakfast.
I like eating while starring at the sky, the view of the clouds calms me.
"Do you think they'll partner you up with Beryl again?" Valerie asked curiously while eating eggs.
"I'm not sure, I don't even know if I want to work with him again." I said which made the two of them in shock.
"What are you talking about? You need to be partnered with Beryl again, your fans collided smoothly. That was your first shoot together and they already love the two of you, just imagine if the two of you kept on doing shoots together, brands will be supported more so they'll take you two." Aileen explained to me.
"If you become the in-demand duo you'll earn big time, plus you'll be the new it girl!" Valerie second Aileen.
"Our chemistry might be good, but I'm not comfortable with him. You pose with that man while wearing those clothes, let's see if you won't be uncomfy with his presence." I pouted as I complain about Beryl.
"Oh honey! If I had your face and body I would definitely wear two pieces and pose with that Greek God like man." Aileen blushed at the thought.
The thought just made me shiver and uncomfy again. " You're so hopeless, " I stated.
" What's so wrong about beryl? You do know that his fans are all jelous of you for having the opportunity to pose with their ultimate crush, right?" Valerie asked at me, unable to believe that I dislike their Greek-God Man.
"I'm done eating already, I'll go take a shower first." I said and leave them be to daydream more about their God Man.
The warmth of the water dripping from my head down to my body refreshes my whole mood. The I tried to feel the calmness of my situation and started manifesting my day to go by just like this. I used the shampoo that a brand I'm modelling for sent me. I thought my peace wouldn't end but then suddenly Aileen's loud voice echoed inside the Bathroom.
"Hurry up! You're like a child in a rain on that shower, the brand already called they need you to come an hour earlier." Aileen explained and I just rolle my eyes before proceeding to massage the shampoo on my head.
"Okay you do that faster please! We'll be waiting for you outside now," she said.
The two of them immediately helped me get to my clothes and get ready. My outfit for today is a bright fuschia terno blazer and trouser, I'm wearing a white bralette inside, matching with the bralette I also wore white high heeled shoes, and matched it with a white Louis Vuitton mini bag. I didn't wear any jewelry because the look already is giving lots of attraction, I don't want to overdo it.
Aileen took a photo of me outside by the garden before we hoped on the car to catch my on-call time that was advanced by an hour. Valerie also did my make up in the car too, because we didn't have enough time if we did it inside the house. Aileen is the one driving us on the place.
RING* RING* RING*
My phone was ringing non-stop so Val' stopped what she was doing for a while to give me chance to answer the call.
"I have a bad news!" Manager Danica whined like a baby.
"Uh oh! What's wrong Dan?" Aileen asked feeling the the whining. I think she already has an idea about what it is.
"Oh my God! Don't tell me what you heard was true?" Valerie said that made her eyes opened wide like a tarsier.
"Don't! Don't say it Danica please," Aileen also whined and fake cried. Honestly what are they talking about?
"Just spill the tea, I still need to get ready or you can just tell us later once we're there." I said motioning to turn off the call.
"BERYL IS PAIRED WITH ONYX." Danica cried in a extremely loud whine.
"NOOOO!!! " Screamed by these two girls I'm currently with.
" So? What does it mean?" I asked obviously not interested at all.
" It means you wouldn't be working with him, we won't get to see him often, " Aileen fake sobbed.
" El, it means all those brand calls I've been awaiting won't be happening anymore. A partnership with Beryl would've increased your talent fee you know. " Danica onced again screamed in frustration.
"More opportunities will come Danica, don't worry. Besides I wasn't even that comfortable with Beryl anyways. " I confessed which made her more frustrated.
" El did you say something to Beryl? I swear-" I cutted her off before she can even finish her statement.
"I didn't say anything, in fact we didn't even talk. I just don't like him in general I guess. " I said not being bothered.
" In this industry you need to work with people you don't like, El. " Manager Danica said trying to keep her cool.
"I know, you don't need to remind me." I said.
