Chapter 14

Morgan

One of our bathroom lights flickers while Stacy and I crowd into our single bathroom. Chloe’s on her way but running late from the office. It’s sweet that she’s coming all the way over here to get ready with us.

Stacy grins at me, holding three different shades of lipstick next to my face before clicking her tongue. “You’ve gotten some nice sun this summer. I’m thinking you might want to try out this bright red. I know you prefer pink but it’ll match your complexion so well. Ugh. You’ve got such gorgeous skin, Morgan. You were born to be a model.”

My fingers lift subconsciously, brushing against my jawline. Today had definitely not left me full of confidence. “You don’t think I look swollen or anything?” I ask hesitantly.

After my confrontation with Charlotte, I came home and spent the better part of the afternoon staring intently at myself in the mirror picking apart every flaw in an attempt to pinpoint whether Hanson was right about me gaining weight.

If anything, I looked even more slender than normal, to the point where even I was a little disturbed by the gauntness of my eyes and collarbone.

Stacy frowns at me. “God, no. You’re flawless, you know that. Since when do you doubt yourself? Chloe might be Miss Independent, but you’ve always been Miss Confident.”

Had I? I felt so out of touch with myself lately. There had been a time when I loved what I saw in the mirror and when I felt proud of myself for pursuing my modeling aspirations . . . but I hadn’t had that feeling in a while. Being with my rockstar was the last time I remember feeling like myself—strong and sensual and confident.

When did I let that get stripped from me?

“Right,” I say with forced certainty. “I was just fishing for compliments.”

“That’s my girl,” Stacy teases. “Now, what do you think of my outfit?”

Stacy spins in a circle, showing off a modest lace dress that falls just an inch or two above her knees and doesn’t show off too much cleavage. Her hair is pulled into an elegant bun, her makeup subtle but glowing. Even though she claims that I’m the gorgeous one, it’s clear as day that Stacy is a natural beauty with her creamy white skin, sparkling hazel eyes and thick brunette curls.

She’s short, curvy and cute. Features that are only accentuated by her stubborn sass. Stacy is going to make some lucky guy very happy someday. But someday will never come if she keeps covering up.

“Your date would enjoy your company a bit more if you were willing to show off that body of yours,” I say tugging on the cuff of her full-length sleeve.

“We’re not all supermodels like you,” she says playfully, gesturing at the skimpy couture dress I’m wearing.

The neckline of the red gown plunges between my small breasts which are taped perfectly into place—a little runway trick I’d picked up. I wanted this blind date of mine to drool over me. God knows I could use the attention after all the rejection lately.
