APRIL’S POV
The agency had booked me a first class section of the hotel. Wow, their deal is too good to be true. I enjoyed the attention I got from the airhostesses as they showed me around.
I ate some snacks while still at the airport and I was done just before we left. I took my seat and since I was in the first class section, there was ample space for everyone, I sat alone, on my own with no one to be by my side for that would easily land them in my business.
I decided to shove the heartbreak thoughts aside. If I keep on thinking about her and what she did to me, then I would probably never move on from all this.
I am going to Paris to start a fresh and that is the only thing that should matter right now.
With that said and done, I wore my headphones and played Allan Walker’s album since it has songs of my likings.
I enjoyed the music, especially sing me to sleep. I don’t know how many more songs I listened to before I fell asleep.
I was woken up later when the airhostess announced that we are going to land in a few. I was so happy, I looked through the window and I was able to see the beautiful city of Paris.
Paris is a city of love, yeah so I hoped this fashion week will end with me being happy with someone I love so much in the entire damn universe. This is the new beginnings I was talking about.
We landed safely and after a while, I was able to leave the plane. The guts of shill hit my body and I could feel myself shiver.
Anyway, I loved the feeling of the air. It is nothing like my old town. This is Paris, and I am happy to be here.
I walked along the tarmac dragging my bag with me as I looked around. The agency had promised to send someone to pick me up and drop me at the hotel and that is the person I was looking for right now.
“April,” I read my name out loud when I saw a man, in his late thirties holding a flyer with my name on it as he looked around hoping to see me.
“That is me, I am April,” I told him as soon as I walked close to him.
“Hello April Lancaster,” He greeted me with so much respect.
“Hello too,” I said shortly.
“Welcome to Paris, I hope you had a nice flight,” We exchanged pleasantries as he walked me to his cab which would take me to the hotel that had been booked for me.
“I sure had,” I said softly and I couldn’t wait to settle in the car so that I could admire this beautiful city of love.
I sat at the back seat right in time before he took the driver’s seat.
He was silent for the rest of the time and I was grateful. The last thing I wanted was for him to distract me with so many questions.
I was happy to be in Paris. I looked around at the city buildings and I couldn’t help but appreciate all this architects who did this wonderful job.
I also watched some people on the road. My interest was on this couples who walked together while holding hands. This is how love should be.
There is so much sweetness and fun in love that people forget. I could have given my ex all that but she dumped me for a guy. Does it make a difference, no.
Honestly, I am happy that she made me a free woman. Right now, I might fall in love with whomever I please.
After a quite long drive, we parked outside the hotel.
It was love at first sight. It was more of a skyscraper and I hoped my room will be almost at the top most floor so that I would watch the rest of the city just by standing on the balcony of my room.
“Everything is ready, just go in and say your name,” The guy instructed and I gave him an acknowledgement nod.
He was right. I didn’t have any trouble after I walked into the hotel with very neat interiors. I talked to the receptionist and she gave me a warm welcome.
After that, she gave me an encrypted card I was going to use to open my door and she was also kind enough to take me up to the door of my room.
I thanked her before I swapped the card and my door was unlocked in a second.
I was so happy. The room is exactly where I wanted it to be.
I rushed to get in locking the door behind me. I switched my lights on and went ahead to throw myself on the perfect king-size bed that was at the center of the room.
Recalling that I could see the beauty of this city be merely sitting at the balcony of my room, I rushed in there and I was happy with what I saw.
The clear view of the city sent ripples through my heart. I was so very excited.
Too excited that I ordered my food and I ate it right there in the balcony. I was obsessed with the place. I loved it here in Paris.
I had to sleep, if not, I would have stayed there all night. Tomorrow is going to be a big day where I would meet the other models so that we could kick start the Paris fashion week.
The agency had already sent me my to do list for tomorrow hence I had to catch some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be so intense.
I changed to my shorts and t-shirts and tucked myself in bed. The bed was too big to be only for one person. If I only had a lover.
I took out my phone and put it right back where it was before I started stalking my ex. I had promised myself not to look back for I had decided to start a fresh, I don’t want to fail myself in this.
I tossed and turn to face the other side and that is when my door swung open.
I sat up in a hurry. What the f**k! I had not ordered for anything. I will surely sue this hotel for messing with my privacy.
That is what was in my mind before I turned to meet the beauty goddess of all times. She was petite with nice attributes. I loved her body, I loved her eyes I loved everything about her. She was hot as if she was directly from a cover of vogue magazine.
Whom is this angel that has just landed on my room?
As if she had listened to what I had just said, she mumbled.
“Hi, my name is Zuri Jenner, I will be your roommate till we finish this Fashion week,” She prattled as she walked close to where I was seated my eyes admiring how perfect she was.
This is love at first sight. There is no going back…
