I was watching Olivia from my office. She looked confused, but picked o the phone. My phone rang and it was her. I guess Lily was early for lunch. She looked kinda upset that I had a girlfriend, or at least that's what I hoped. I know having a girlfriend, and liking someone else is bad, but I can't help it. I know Olivia has Bill, and she's happy. I really hope Lily can help me get over Olivia. Lily really is great. She's beautiful, successful, smart, and funny. She's Victoria's Secret's newest angel. I really think that Lily is a great person, but as of now, I'm still hung up on Olivia. I'm sitting at the table with Lily in some modern, expensive restaurant that Lily chose and she was talking about some shoot she has coming up. I wasn't really paying attention. Lily waved her hand in front of my face, and it snapped me out of la la land.
"Are you okay, Babe?"
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You seem a little spaced out."
"No I'm fine. I was just distracted, thinking about work."
"Oh okay. Well I was just wondering if you'd like to come to my shoot Saturday evening."
"Of course, honey. I would love to."
"Wonderful! You'll finally get to see what I do! I'm so excited. Just no running off with any of the other girls."
"I wouldn't dream of it, Lily."
"Great! It's my second shoot ever, and we're unveiling a new line. They said if I do a good job, I could be put in the fashion show this year."

"Really? That's wonderful!"
"I know. They're really excited to meet you. Most of the girls don't believe that you're actually my boyfriend."
"Why not?"
"Well you're really successful and handsome, so why would you date an up and coming Victoria's Secret model?"
"Isn't the Victoria's Secret model the exact type we got for?"
"Yes, but not the new models that barely even shot anything. Normally they go for a hugely known model that's about to hit the runway."
"Nope. I guess I'm just different."
"I'm glad."
After lunch, I had to go back to the office. She told me she'd text me later tonight. She really is a sweet, nice girl. I walked up to my office, and saw Olivia on the phone with clients. I sat at my desk and waited for my next meeting.
I was filing papers, calling around for appointments, and scheduling meetings. Then I made Mr. Wright's coffee, and brought it to him. Before I knew it, it was time to go home. I stopped at Bill's apartment for a little bit, and then went home. I googled Lily Davis, and was crushed when I read what she does for a living. She's a Victoria's Secret model, for crying out loud! I saw her announcement pictures, and I almost cried. She's absolutely stunning. I don't look like that. I know I have a boyfriend, but even if I did want to break up with him for Mr. Wright, how would I compare to that? I couldn't. I had to call Trinity.
"Tri? There's a major crisis in Olivia Land."
"Oh no. When isn't there?"
"True. You remember Mr. Wright's girlfriend?"
"Yeah? What about her?"
"She's a Victoria's Secret model."
"WHAT?"
"I KNOW!"

"Okay. Breathe. Things could be worse."
"How so?"
"You don't like him as much as Bill right?"
"I don't know! I might."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yeah. I really like Bill. He's so sweet, but there's no passion like there was with Mr. Wright."
"Then you have to tell him!"
"Yeah so things could he awkward, and he could flaunt Lily in my face? No thank you."
"Then you at least have to break up with Bill. It's not fair to him."
"I know! I was actually going to bring the lack of passion up to him, and see if we could work on it. I really do like him."
"Then do it!"
"Okay. I'll do it after your dinner."
"Okay. Just don't hurt the poor guy."
"That's the last thing I wanna do."
I went to bed that night dreading that talk with him. I also kept thinking about Ms. Victoria Secret and how she probably fawns all over him and his bank account. I just don't know what I want, but I better make up my mind soon, for everyone's sake.
It was finally Saturday morning. On the weekends I don't see Olivia, so out of sight, out of mind. I got dressed, made breakfast, and watched TV. Before I knew it, it was time to go to Lily's photo shoot. She was the French maid of the photo shoot and looked absolutely amazing. Afterwards, we stopped back at her apartment for her to change.
"Babe, I was thinking you could change into something nice."
"Why?"
"Well I was thinking we go dancing at that jazz club, and then go to dinner."
"Okay. Let me find something."
She changed into a beautiful dress, and we headed to the club. We went straight to the dance floor. She immediately let me take the lead, and we glided across the floor, and I twirled her in my arms. After an hour of dancing, we wanted to eat. We sat down at about 8:30 which was good, because it wasn't too busy. Just as we sat down, Nikko & Trinity walk in with Bill & Olivia. This can't go well...

A Girl and Her Food
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix. Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive. But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question... It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right? Things to expect: - A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes. - Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now. - Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments. - I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇 - Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea. Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!
