Rose?

            "Do you think it is a nice idea to bring these two?"

Daniella and Clara were on their way to the photoshoot. They wanted to go big. The modelling company was going to have them relocate to New York. They wanted to move away from the Island though it has been a nice place where they spent their five years developing and taking care of the two twins. 

Placing the handbag inside the car, Daniella watched as Clara was holding Zeke's hands. She didn't know what they were talking about. Noelle was still making herself look good and she was yet to come from the house. Mirah stood by the door smiling at Daniella. Danielle waved back at her. She just admired the way Daniella was excited about the shoot. She was not sure if they were going to be okay, but she hoped that everything will be okay.

Noelle walked from the house with the navy blue Jacket. She has never left the jacket ever since she got it from Rose. It was ever in her body. Daniella watched her and couldn't hide her surprise.

"Darling, it's about a hundred degrees got outside, and the sun is already out, you don't have to bring the jacket." 

Clara lifted her eyes looking at Noelle with the heavy jacket on top of the rugged shorts that she was wearing. She looked at Daniella and just chuckled. She knew Daniella never allowed that jacket to be washed either and watching her beef about Noelle wearing it was still surprising her. She remembers when she found her sniffing the jacket at the laundry machine and she lied to Noele that she had washed it but she had not.

"On this island, anything can happen. The storm can just come out of nowhere. You remember when we went to the beach then it suddenly started pouring, mama?" Asked Noelle before getting into the car.

Clara just smiled and got inside the car. She knew Daniella was worried that her daughter was falling for someone she didn't know about. And it just worried her. Maybe she feared that Noelle might end up like her in the future.

"So, mum, but hat if we also get into modelling, to help support a bit, it won't hurt to try and build our future?" Asked Zeke.

"We will try, but are you sure you are ready to go viral? It's always frustrating."

"Dee? What are you saying? They are just trying to help," said Clara looking at Daniella.

"Okay, you guys can wait and see if this deal works out, I promise you we will relocate to New York right away," Daniella didn't want to break the news to the kids that day because anything can happen. They knew they were not a good model in the industry. There are a lot of people who can do the work perfectly and they might miss the opportunity.

        "Really?" Shouted both Zeke and Noelle at the same time. 

"Jeez, why are you all excited about New York?" Asked Clara while taking a sharp corner to the next stop.

"Nothing, it's only that the school we visited is in New York and we were wondering if we will be able to afford that school," said Zeke in a low tone.

Daniella and Clara sighed. They knew life in New York is going to be expensive. The house rent is so expensive. On the island, they got the opportunity to live in a lavish house because Mrs Smith gave them a free house. So instead of paying rent, they ventured into paying fees for the two twins in a prestigious school. Clara chipped in to pay for their school fee because they wanted the best for both of them.

"It's okay mum, aunt, we will understand if you can't afford it. It looked quite expensive though. We will still be excited to live in New York," assured Noelle.

"Hell no, we will make sure you afford the school and also we will look for a modelling agency for you two so that you can go to the school," said Clara. 

Though both Dee and Clara knew that was going to be hard. It's either they going to scratch the ground with their fingers and get two or three jobs for them to afford any of that.

Back in the car, Noelle and Zeke were high fiving each other because they were excited about the news. 

Arriving at the scene, there were small tents put in place as the other teams were arriving. All types of models were available. Your American dream model, the x plus-size model and all other different types of models. They were both there for the competition. Slaying in their outfits. Most of them were in their bikinis applying some sunscreen to keep their skin tanned and in shape. 

"Holy cow!" Shouted Zeke as he watched all those people on the beach. They have never attended any photoshoot and their mother was always strict about them coming because most of the shoots happened on weekdays.

"Hey, let us hope they make it because I want to go to New York, so you better start praying that we make it, okay?" Told Noelle.

Zeke nodded while looking around. Once they stepped out of the car, they were instructed where to stay as they waited for the manager of the events. Clara and Daniella were nervous as they watched the other models. Some of them looked at them up and down as if they were their competition. The unique thing is, that Daniella had these deep blue ocean eyes and Clara had natural blond hair. That was an exceptional thing.

There were no children around. The only children were Zeke and Noelle. They were panicking that maybe they came to the wrong event. They knew they rarely allow people into the venue. 

Daniella had to ask Clara again if it was the right idea to have them tag along. Clara just smiled and told her not to worry because everything was going to be okay. 

"So guys, what do you think you are going to do while we do the shooting?" Asked Clara turning back to the twins.

"Maybe make sure we have your towels ready, buckets of water and your sunscreen ready. In general, we are going to be your sideman and lady or if you want boy and girl," said Zeke. 

They both laughed at that statement. They didn't know they were a handful when it comes to helping. 

Suddenly everyone was called together, they were asked to get ready because the manager was about to arrive. Clara and Daniella made sure that they change into their beach costume because that was the uniform at the beach.

Daniella watched her body while trying to wear her bikini. She has these stretch marks on her body. They came up after going through delivery. Though they are wearing out because they were too many in her body she was still nervous about it. 

"Hey, don't let that bother you, let it remind you of the two beautiful human beings you have brought into the world. Even if we don't get it, I will make sure we still go to New York and do our best okay?" 

Daniella moved forward and hugged Clara tightly. She didn't know how she ended up with such a faithful and beautiful friend who makes sure she was by her side every day.

Once they were done, they walked outside to Zeke and Noelle both holding the sunscreen and their beach hats. Clara held one from Zeke while Daniella held the one from Noelle. They watched as they were applying the sunscreen and helped them wear hats. 

"Can we please take a selfie?" Begged Noelle while they were done. 

They gathered for the selfies and Noelle picked up her phone from the handbag she was carrying and took two snaps before taking a picture of her mother and aunt.

She looked at the picture, she didn't know whether to post them or just hold on until they are done.

"Let's wait till we arrive home then we will edit them or ask Aunt Mirah to help us edit." Said Zeke.

Noelle nodded and placed the phone back in her bag. They matched the area where everyone else was standing at.  

"Darling, you should cover your stretch marks, they are awful," said one of the models moving closer to Daniella.

Noelle slapped the hand of the model before she could touch her mother. Daniella gave her a scornful look but Noelle was not sorry. She didn't want anyone telling her mother anything bad.

"Hey, my mama is beautiful and she will be chosen today, if you think with your body you look beautiful, she is also beautiful so keep off!" 

Everyone else turned to them. The model moved away from them with her attitude and sat with other models who were trying to eye both Clara and Daniella. 

"Baby, that was amazing," said Clara cheerful.

"Yeah, but, let me deal with them next time, okay?" Told Daniella.

"Mum, not when someone is trying to tell my mother what to do. Do you know how many ladies are using plastic surgery to hide who they are? I am happy that you are not doing that. That's why I hate it when people talk bad about you."

Daniella understood what her daughter was saying and she was happy that she wanted to defend her but at the same time, she didn't want her to be the person who talks back to people.

The manager had arrived and the contestant waited to see the manager step out of the car. Daniella Clara, Zeke and Noelle stood in the front line, they wanted to see what the manager looks like.

The door was opened and a long leg stood out of the car. The leg was wearing heels. Who wears heels at the beach?. Well, this manager was. 

"She must be good with the beach," said Clara.

"Uh, look at those legs, so nice, men I envy those legs."

The second leg stepped out and the bodyguard opened a special umbrella before the manager stepped out. He stood and adjusted the clothes on his body before walking out.

Stepping out, he removed his shade, Clara and Daniella looked at each other., "fuck, Brian?"

They wanted to shout but they knew they can't shout his name because the other contestant will think that they want a favour. After all, they know him. 

On the other side of the car, another small leg stepped out and walked towards Brian. He has blue beach shorts and a tank top. 

Noelle looked at Zeke, "Rose?"
