"Here wear this you will look amazing in it with your body," Kendall giggles. We're getting ready for Kylie's birthday party.
"Why do I need to look good? It's your sister's birthday, not mine?" I question her.
"I don't know what if you find a sexy foreign man there," she says. I apply the black mascara to my eyelashes.
I look to see Kendall leaving the room. I quickly apply the deep red lipstick and slip into a red-orange silk dress. I grab my clutch and heels and walk out the door.
I see her in the kitchen eating an apple and peanut butter. She looks up and sees me standing there. "Sorry I was hungry," she says. I laugh at her. I walk over to the couch and put on my strappy heels.
I walk over to the body mirror and fix a few strands of my light brown hair.
"Ready?" she asked me. I nodded and we got into an Uber.
The car ride was pretty short. We went from my house to the Jenner house. I have been to this house a lot in the past 6 years and it has never failed to take my breath away each time I see it.
We walk up to the house when I see Kylie. "Ahh there's my favorite French girl," she said running up to me. I hugged her and we talked for a bit.
I drifted off with a few of my friends when I heard my name being called, "El," I matched the voice to the face. Kendall. "Finally, I found you,". "You did, now whatcha need," I said sipping my Champagne. "Well I wanted you to meet a few of my friends," she said, pulling me towards them. I notice a small group of people outside by the pool.
We got to the small group of people and I smiled at them. "This is Eloise, she is a model with m-," she got cut off by a voice coming from behind us. "Um excuse me Eloise Dior Bernard how dare you not come say hey to me," I turned around and it was Kim. "Ahh hello," my French accent came out in my hello. We talked for a few when I turned back to the group.
I met a few people there and they were really cool. They were all part of the music industry. Either they made music or the editing side was all very interesting.
"Hello," I hear a thick accent say from behind me. I turn and look into piercing green eyes which were hard to miss and smile. "Hi," I smile. "I'm Harry," he said. He had short brown curly hair. And a very chiseled jaw. "I'm Eloise," I say. "I know Kendall told me about you,". "She did well, she didn't tell me about you," I chuckled.
"Well I thought I would make myself known, and wanted to let you know that you look very gorgeous tonight," I blushed at his compliment. "Thank you, you look very good tonight as well," I said, trying to repay the compliment. "Could I have your number and maybe we could get coffee?" He asked. "Of course," I said. He gave me his phone and I put my contact in and gave it back to him.
We talked for a few more minutes before we got interrupted. "Well I guess you two have met," Kendall said. She's drunk. I laugh at her state and say goodbye to Harry as I have to take her home.
I ordered an Uber to take back to my place. While I was waiting I went around saying goodbye to anyone I saw I knew.
When we got home I got Kendall upstairs into my room and changed into pajamas. After 3 tries I finally got her makeup taken off. I walk downstairs to grab some water and medicine for the morning.
I get back upstairs to see a passed-out Kendall on my bed. I push her over and get under the covers when I hear a ding. I look at my phone to see a text from an unknown number.
Hello, it's Harry
Hey
Would you want to go get coffee Monday morning since I know you will be dealing with a hungover Kendall tomorrow?
I would love too
Cool is 8:15 good
Yeah it's fine
Ok well I will see you Monday
See you Monday
I shut my phone off and turned off my lamp and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up early Monday morning at 6:30, which I do every morning. I took a shower and did all that morning stuff.
I put on a white fitted shirt with some jeans and a black belt and some white sneakers. I added some gold earrings to finish the look.
I was ready by 7:50 and left. I grab my clutch and walk to my garage to get in my Range Rover. I get in and play some Current Joys. I drove to the small coffee shop which was about 10 minutes. I had a meeting later and the place was close to where the cafe was.
I get there around 8:00 and I spot him sitting in the corner booth. I walk in and smile at him. "Hey sorry I thought we were meeting at 8:15," I state. "We were but I left a bit early," He smiles. He waves down a waitress and she comes to us. "Oh sorry, what would you guys like?". Harry looks at me and I order "An iced coffee and french toast,". She puts it down and she looks at him. "Just a black coffee and french toast too," He says. She nods and walks away. "So what do you do, Kendall told me that you two model together," he said. "Yeah, I'm a Victoria Secret Angel, I started there when I was 19. I also do little side things here and there,". "That's nice, um are you from France?" he asked. "Yes, I was born in Toulouse," I say proudly. "The pink city?" he said, questioning what he just said. I nodded.
We talked for a while and I kinda didn't want him to bring up my family but he did. "So do you have any siblings?". I nodded while taking a sip from my coffee. "Yeah I have 4,". He looked shocked. "I have an older sister named Colette, an older brother named Oliver, And a set of younger twins Lucie and Leo," I said. He finished his toast a while ago but then got another cup of coffee.
We finished around 10:15 but it was great, kinda a break from around the same old people every day6 who try too hard. A breath of fresh air. I pulled out my wallet and put my card on the table. The waitress came by and I started to give her my card but Harry stopped me. "I'm paying," he said, shoving his card to the waitress.
"Thank you for breakfast today," I said walking to my car. "You're welcome, but also thank Kendall she's the one who mentioned you to me and I'm glad she did,". I smiled. "Well I have to get to a meeting, I will text you later," I said getting in my car. I looked at me and smiled "Yeah, text me,". I waved at him and smiled and watched him get in his car. I started my car and drove off smiling to the meetings I always dread.
