Couple`s Outfit

Chapter 25

 

After the male modelling rehearsal, the female models immediately prepare for their rehearsal instructed by the modelling manager.

"All male models, please take your seat first as I prepare your model partners for the couple`s outfit fashion show."

Prince Nathan was surprised and said

"Couple`s fashion show?"

"Yes, Prince Nathan. I will be partnering all males to the ladies' base on the theme of the couple`s outfits. I need to base it in the physique of each model available since the designers of these outfits are so meticulous when it comes to models."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, Prince Nathan."

"Then can you make Muriel my partner always?"

The Model Manager hesitated with cold sweat. He is torn between the top designers' requests and the prince`s request. Prince Nathan then immediately saw his reactions and said

"Just forget it. I`m sorry I made you worry. You can just follow the plan."

"B..But Prince Nathan, maybe I could partner you two with some of the outfits but not all the outfits. I`ll try my best to partner you up but I can`t promise. Is that okay?"

"Oh? Sure. Thanks for the effort Manager."

The female modelling then started, they all wear some 5 inch heels so they really need to practice so well for it. Prince Nathan then sat down in front while Luca sat down from the back of all the models because he doesn`t want to sit next to Nathan.

As soon as the females walk in the ramp, all of them perfectly nail it. The MC is just the one telling who their designers of the gowns because they will be wearing different styles of gowns that will make them unable to reach the microphone. Accidents might happen if the manager will insist on it.

After the female models' rehearsal, the manager then finished wrapping up the partners for couples' outfits.

"Okay males stand up. I`ll be choosing your couple partners based on your height and physique."

The females are tall once they wear the heels so basically the manager wants to partner them up with a tall male.

"Please do fall in line by height"

Prince Nathan is in the middle due to his height while Luca was the Last man due to his height. While in the female`s line, it was Muriel and Princess Hannah who were in the last line because their height was the same.

The manager then notice that the female models and male models are not even numbers, but when he saw that Muriel and Princess Hannah were the same height in the last row, he immediately smiled with joy in his eyes.

"Perfect! Okay Luca you will be partnered in both Lady Muriel and Princess Hannah."

Both Muriel and Princess Hannah looked at each other. Luca on the other side was surprised.

"I`m sorry Sir Luca, there`s no male available that will fit for the both of them as a partner due to their height. As you can see, Lady Muriel and Princess Hannah`s height are too tall for the males here except you."

"Oh? It`s fine manager. I`ll do my best."

"Thank you, Sir Luca. I appreciate your hardwork."

The manager bowed down to Luca and immediately shouted.

"Everyone! All the ladies next to you will be your partner. Prepare in the back stage with your partner and I`ll call your names!"

All of them then proceeded in the backstage. The ladies were so happy because one of the Models who was a crush in Prince Nathan got partnered to him.

"OMG Marie! You`re so lucky to be Prince Nathan`s Partner!!"

"T..Thank you guys! I`m so happy too."

All of them were so happy but Prince Nathan on the other side kept on staring at Luca who sat down in the middle of Muriel and Princess Hannah.

**Ah fck! I wish I was taller!!!***

The manager then called Prince Nathan and his partner Marie to the stage.

Meanwhile, Luca felt awkward because the two of them were his partner. Hannah then suddenly laugh at Luca`s face.

"Hahaha. I never thought that having two partners will make you feel pressured Luca."

Muriel then sulks and said

"Don`t be pressured! It`s not like you`re two timing us. It`s just for a show."

Hannah was surprised and said

"Oh? Are you thinking that me and Muriel is your girlfriend right now Luca? Hahaha"

Luca was annoyed by what Muriel said and remembered his "love sick" disease.

"Of course, I`m not. I just hope you two could trust me as your partner in this show."

Hannah suddenly hold Luca`s hand and said.

  "Of course! We trust you Luca, there`s no need to say that, right Muriel?"

Muriel then was lost in words and just nodded awkwardly. The manager then called their names.

"Okay Next up! You three will be the finale. And the outfit`s theme you guys will wear will be the Kingdom of Karg`s beach outfit, sleeping outfit, and lastly the wedding outfit."

Luca and Hannah were surprised and felt like this whole set up is made by his little brother Hunter.

"As you know guys, The Kingdom of Karg`s outfits are kind of revealing, so I hope you make sure that your bodies will be ready for it. No scars are allowed until the day of the modelling event, got that?"

The three of them agreed and the manager smiled and said

"Okay then body check! Please do remove your top wear Sir Luca."

Both Muriel and Hannah were shocked and immediately said in unison.

"Right now?!!"

Both of them looked at each other which made Luca surprised by their reactions.

"Yes ladies. I have to check if Sir Luca`s body is fit for this because if not, then I have to replace him."

All the models at the back immediately watch them and shouted.

"Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!"

Muriel suddenly screamed.

"NO!!!"

Everyone then looked at her. She then blushed and realize what she has done.

"I… I mean, he just recovered from his flu, so he might catch a cold if he will be topless right now----."

Luca then suddenly remove his t-shirt which made all of them drop their jaws. He looked at Muriel and said

"It`s fine. I`m all healed up."

Muriel was so surprised and blushed as she saw Luca looking at him while topless. All of them were speechless as they looked at Luca`s physique. It was so perfect even the muscles are shining so brightly in the eyes of both the ladies and gentlemen. Luca then looked at the manager and said

"Is this fine manager?"

The manager then come up on stage to touch Luca`s body but when he is about to touch it, both Hannah and Muriel immediately stopped his hands and said in unison.

"NOO!!"

Both of them blushed so hard and Hannah immediately rebut

"I mean you only have to see it! You don`t have to touch it manager!"

Muriel immediately goes with the flow

"Y..Yeah! Princess Hannah is right! It`s sexual harassment if you will touch him!!"

Everyone looked at Muriel for saying such thing. The Manager then immediately stop.

"F..fine.. I`m sorry ladies. I`m just tempted on how hot Luca is HAHAHA Sorry for being rude. You can wear your shirt now Luca."

"Thank you, Manager."

Luca then immediately wear his shirt which made all the ladies look sad. The Manager then explain to the three of them what to do.

"Okay In the beach outfit which is the first thing you three will represent, Princess Hannah and Muriel will walk in the runway first and as soon as they reach the middle part, You Sir Luca will then walk. The two ladies need to post in the end portion of the runway, then as soon as Luca will reach the end of the runway with you ladies, give me a sexy pose. Did you get it?"

The three of them nodded obediently.

"Okay! Then let`s practice one round for that."

Both Hannah and Muriel immediately went backstage but the manager suddenly stop Luca and talked to him.

"Hey Sir Luca, Can I ask you a favor?"

"Oh? What is it manager?"

"In this one round practice, once you reach the middle part can you take off your shirt while walking towards the ladies?"

Luca was surprised and the manager immediately explained

"I don`t mean any harm to you okay? I just want to know both of their reactions. You know, I don`t want them to feel awkward posing with you while your topless because we all know that the design of the beach outfit is a topless one."

"Sure Manager, it will be for the best of the event anyway."

"Great! Thank you, Sir Luca! You`re the best!"

The Dj then played the music while the MC is speaking.

"Let`s welcome! The Kingdom of Karg`s best beach outfit of the century! Designed by none other than Michaela Spaeta!"

Muriel and Hannah then entered the stage and walk gracefully which made the manager looked satisfied.

"Good job ladies! And now enter Sir Luca!"

As soon as Luca entered he walk so hot again and as soon as he reached the middle part, He remove his shirt while walking which make all the girls in the backstage screamed like crazy.

"OMYGOSHHH!! SIR LUCA YOU`RE SO HOOOTT!!!!"

Both Hannah and Muriel are so curious but they know that they are not allowed to look back. Both of them suddenly felt that Luca held them in their waist and as soon as they look at him, he was topless. Both of them suddenly flustered and didn`t know what to do next. The manager then immediately shouted.

"Ladies! Give me a sexy pose!!"

As soon as they heard the manager, Hannah immediately pose by holding Luca`s chest and looked at the manager. Muriel suddenly felt anger towards Hannah who casually held Luca`s chest.

Muriel then immediately fights back by holding Luca`s face and force it to look at her closely. Muriel`s chest touches Luca`s body which made Luca surprise. He saw Muriel`s face closer than before. She then looked at Luca seductively and was about to kiss him and stopped half-way through then looks at the manager infront of them.

Luca was the only one who wasn`t looking at the manager. He is constantly looking at Muriel`s lips that is so close to him. And as soon as he looked at her eyes full of make-up, he suddenly notices that her eyes looked like she has been crying all night.

***Have you been crying all night because of me? ****

Muriel then suddenly glance at Luca who is constantly looking at her with a shocking face and she felt that Luca`s eyes is about to cry. He closed his eyes and then Muriel suddenly felt that the whole world stops but only her eyeballs can move.

***W..Who the hell stopped the time???!!****
