The Hunt for Love by Mia Bedilia (romantic books to read .TXT) 📖

I feel the warm soapy water trickling down my back. I'm trying to erase all thoughts of that gorgeous man I saw this morning at the store and I can't seem to stop thinking about him. So far, I've been showering for about 2 hours, I usually shower when I need to relax and just think. I guess this isn't helping since all I'm doing is imagining his sexy self in the shower with me. I shut off the water, grab a towel and head to my room. I pull out a pair of panties, a bra a sweatshirt and baggy pants and I crawl into bed.

I wake up to the sun shining brightly through my bedroom window. Dammit I forgot to close the curtains last night, oh well I'm already awake. I get out of bed and change into some jeans and a light blue top. I glance out the window and notice it looks pretty windy out there so I pull out a sweater too. I apply some makeup and quickly curl my hair. I look good today, with my brown hair falling down my back and over my shoulders. My brown eyes look slightly brighter today, probably because I'm in a good mood. My jeans sitting right below my hips make my butt look perfect in shape and my top falling in a v-shape, showing a good amount of cleavage. I go downstairs and get some cereal, but it in a bag so I can eat it on my way to work.

I get into my Audi A4 and head off to work. I pull into the parking lot at Elite Modeling building. I get into the elevator and press the button that would direct me to the twenty-first floor. As I walk down the hall I get a few greetings, "Good morning Ms. Morgan!" "How are you today?" etc. I open the glass doors to the room and head to my dressing room. Once I open the door, there is my best friend and my assistant, Kayden. "You're late! AGAIN!" I scrunch up my nose and say, "I know, I know. Help me get dressed, remind me again when this shoot is over please." Kayden is scrolling through her phone, "12:00, about three hours but we might end early.

Kayden rushes me into a white sundress with a big pink floppy hat, pink flip-flops and white glasses. I come out of the room and step into the set, surrounded by lights and cameras. A few people come rushing towards me to fix my hair and touch up my make up. Nothing crazy like those serious runway models, I'm the type of model who looks more natural. More like myself, that's why I love my job.

Carmen, one of the photographers and also my boss starts flashing away with her camera. Yelling out different poses, telling me I look "faboo". Then she tells me it's time to change. I go back to my dressing room and change into a black, ruffle bikini. I sit down at my makeup table and my stylist comes quickly to do my hair. He tossed it up into a messy, but sexy ponytail and I head back out to the set. They changed the background so not all the backgrounds will be too alike. I do this quite a number of times more and I'm done for the day. "Kayden, wanna get some lunch with me?" I ask her, "Sorry, I have plans with Brian for lunch today, what about tomorrow?" "Sure thing." Then I head back to the parking lot and decide to go to the mall. It's only 12:15 and I don't want to sit at home all day.

After parking my car, I head towards Salad Creations and get a caesar salad and a tuna sandwich with a coke. I hurriedly eat my lunch and call my friend Jessie. She picked up on the third ring, "Hey Jessie, you up to anything today?" she giggles and says "Nope, why whats up?" I ask her if she would like to go shopping with me today.

In about 15 minutes Jessie met me outside of Juicy Couture. We got matching charm bracelets and some sweats for when we go running. We go to Hollister, Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Channel, and Nike's. There were a pair of shoes that I really wanted because it would match perfectly with a dark blue dress that I just bought but the store didn't have it in stock, so I gave them my address so that they could mail them to me. We were shopping for hours and after the long day of shopping, I treated Jessie to a mani pedi with me because we really needed it. I got my nails painted a shiny pearl color, it's gorgeous and Jessie got light pink. We decided to go to a sushi place for dinner. It was delicious, I paid the bill and Jessie and I parted our separate ways for the day.

The next morning I woke up to somebody ringing the bell, I was curious to what it was but I was still tired. I was only wearing a silk night dress that cut off at about mid-thigh. I went down the stairs and opened the door. There was a gorgeous man standing in front of me in a UPS delivery man uniform. His blue eyes seemed familiar, and his beautiful sandy blond hair was waving in the wind. I realized that he was the guy I ran into at the store the other day.

"Sorry if I awoke you Ms. Morgan but I have a package for you." He said with a smile. "Oh no, it's quite alright, what was that you have for me?" I looked down and realized that I was half naked and he was practically eye raping me. His lips are so perfect and kissable. I have to practically hold myself back from throwing myself at him. Oh my god! He's even better looking now with his long eyelashes hiding his shocking blue eyes. He handed me a package and and a clipboard to sign for it. I looked back up at him and said, "I never did catch your name." "Hunter" he said while extending his hand for a shake. I reached for it and felt a tingle as we made contact through our hands. "I don't know your first name though, Ms. Morgan" Hunter said with a wink. I blushed slightly, our hands still holding and said "Marley, it's very nice to meet you." He looked away and then back at me and said, "I was wondering if you'd like to get a drink with me tonight?" I blushed even more, taking my hand back. "I would love to, is 9 good?" "Definitely, I will see you then." He said with a grin.

Woah...I have a date tonight. Thank goodness I just turned 21 a few weeks ago. I have to tell Kayden about this, well at least I'll see her in an hour for lunch. I don't have work today so I guess I'll go for a run. I head back up to my room and change into the new workout outfit I bought yesterday at Juicy. I put on the new shoes I just got from Hunter and grab my ipod. I ran about 2 miles and I came back home to take a cool shower.

After my shower I get a floral skirt with a white tank top and a thick belt with blue ballet flats. I swipe some eyeliner and mascara across my eyes and I grab my purse. On the way out to my car I call Kayden. "Hello gorgeous!" I can practically hear her smiling. "Haha hey beautiful, what's up with your good mood today?" She hums for a bit, I hear some rustling then she says, "Brian asked me to marry him!" and she squeels. I scream into the phone "OMG when did this happen? I am so happy for you!" She's giggling and I think Brian is with her because she is making noises into the phone that sounds like she's kissing someone, and I just heard a moan. Gross. Then she said to me, "I will tell you everything over lunch, I'll meet you at Queery Rock Cafe in 15, okay?" I smiled to myself, "I'll see you soon."

I walked through the doors of the cafe, looking around for Kayden. There she is, at our usually table in the corner. She waves to me and I waltz over to her and have a seat. I grab her hand and examine the rock on her finger. "Damn! That is huge, Tiffany?" She laughs and says, "Of course." I order a blueberry muffin and a cappuccino, Kayden has a turkey panini sandwich and an espresso. "Last night Brian took me to dinner right?" "Mhmmm" I mumble as I pick at the blueberries. "So we had desert and he asked me if I wanted to go somewhere more private, so of course I thought we were gonna get it on right?" "Yea, totally." "Marley, you're barely listening to me." I look up at her and say, "Sorry Kay, I was just thinking about something, I'll tell you about it after you tell me about his proposal."

"Oh, okay. Well anyways, he took me to a park instead and we were sitting on the grass, staring at the stars and then he stood up and got down on one knee...and he asked me to marry him!" I could see tears forming at the corners of her eyes. "Aww that's so sweet, I'm so happy for you Kayden, I really am." "Oh I forgot, I want you to be my maid of honor." Now I'm starting to feel the tears, "Wow of course I will Kay! I am so excited, I can't believe this is really happening." She grabs my hand across the table and give it a fast squeeze. "Neither can I. But anyways, what was that thing that you were thinking about?" I think for a moment and remember.

"Right, well the other day at the store I met this really handsome guy at the grocery store and we chatted for like a minute and today, he was at my house because he's a delivery guy. So we flirted for a little bit and then he asked me out for drinks tonight!" "Wow, I want to meet him. What does he look like?" She's grinning at me and doing that wierd jumping of the eyebrows thing. "He his wavy dark brown hair, beautiful blue eyes, perfectly kissable lips, very muscular build, and the hottest thing of all is his name. Hunter. How hot is that?" Kayden is laughing now at the way I described him, he's all I can think about.

Once I got home, I still had a few hours more to kill so I plopped down on the couch and went straight to Netflix and watched Can't Buy Me Love. After that was over I got a instant ramen and had that for dinner and headed upstairs to my jacuzzi. I stripped off my clothes and turned on the water. I sat inside while I waited for the water to fill. I love the sensation of the warm water just taking over me. Making me feel so relaxed and calm. I was probably in there for about an hour because I did not have the will power to get myself out but once I did it was about 8. Hunter will be here
