"That was... uh... that was pretty intense." No joke, you'd been worried for a second there that Julia was going to just walk off with you! Thank God Yakima had been around to stop her!
And Olivia too. Maybe you'd misjudged the Hispanic model. You sure hadn't expected her to step up and come to your aid like that. Then again, when you put 2 and 2 together, in Olivia's eyes she'd been pretty clear that she'd just been 'protecting her investment.'
Still, the help, as unexpected as it was, was much appreciated.
"Hey, Yakima? Our food's probably waiting for us by now. What say we go back inside the restaurant and eat?"
Yakima smiled warmly down at you, gently picking you up off the huge boob you'd been standing on.
"That sounds good to me, Ben. I think some food is just the thing I need to unwind after running into someone like- like that!" Yakima's words were kind enough, but you heard her muttering something irritably under her breath.
You may not have understood Japanese outside a few stock phrases (which you'd picked up from anime and video games) but you didn't need to be fluent to know that whatever Yakima had muttered had likely not been something she'd want to repeat in public.
Yeah, Julia had that effect on people.
Gently closing her fist around you, keeping you hidden from view but not scrunching you, Yakima headed back inside. Taking a seat in one of the tables at the back corner of the restaurant where you'd have the most privacy, the two of you waited patiently for your food to arrive.
Sure enough, it didn't take long at all for your food to arrive! It was kind of adorable seeing Yakima tucking into her food with gusto, though you did wonder a little bit if she ever had to watch what she ate as part of her model training.
Your brain said yes, but your heart tried to tell you that all of the carbs she went were going somewhere other than her waist.
"Say, Ben?"
"Yeah, Yakima?" Looking up into Yakima's warm, brown eyes, you saw that her brow was furrowed in thought.
"I've been thinking... about what Olivia was saying..."
"Oh, yeah. About what she was saying..."
"I don't think/I think you should take her offer!"
"What/What?!"
Your voices overlapped, Yakima rearing back in shock, nearly spilling out of her tight tank top before she righted herself, scooping you up and bringing you right up to her face.
"B-Ben! How can you say that?! Olivia was just about saying that she wanted to own you earlier!"
"T-that's not what she was saying! She just wants to have... um... 'exclusive rights' to use me when you guys are doing photo shoots." Okay, that definitely sounded more negative when you voiced it out loud. But you weren't going to back down here- this was Yakima's future you two were talking about, and you'd be damned if you let her hold herself back on your account! It was strange; you'd only known her for a short while, and yet you already felt like you more than anything wanted her to succeed at everything she did!
"Shoot, I'm not getting my thoughts out right. What I mean, Yakima, is that Olivia IS right. Her influence could boost you to whole new levels in your career!"
"I-I'm aware of that, Ben. Modeling is MY job, not yours. But... I can't let someone like her take advantage of you like that!"
"Yakima, it's really sweet that you're thinking of me like that, but you don't need to- Olivia's not a bad person, that's just a... what's the phrase? That's just her on-stage persona." Or at least, you hoped that was the case. Olivia on-the-job had definitely come across as a grade-A alpha bitch, the kind of woman who believed herself to without a doubt be superior to all other people around her. With a body like hers, it wasn't hard to see how Olivia had climbed to the top of the totem pole.
But Olivia off-the-job? That was a different matter entirely. Someone who was, well, truly like Julia would not have gone out of her way to help you fend off your hated bully. Olivia HAD also voluntarily altered her own offer so that you were included in it; which meant that if nothing else she WAS considering you as a member of the deal and not just as some object to be haggled over.
"Besides, Olivia said that she just wants me to help her during photo shoots. She did say that she had no intentions of keeping me from you whenever you two aren't at work."
"I... That IS true," Yakima admitted, setting down her burger and wiping her lips.
"Look, Yakima, I really do appreciate you looking out for me like this. But think of it this way; it's a win-win situation for all of us! You get a big boost to your career, Olivia will help me deal with Julia- and God knows that's something I've wanted for years- and she gets more fame and money on her end! Everyone wins!"
The dark haired girl frowned, eyes drooping slightly as a gloomy look formed on her face.
"I mean... I could help you get back at that- that rude girl..." 'Rude girl' was accurate, if an understatement. Like earlier, you could hear Yakima starting to say something vulgar in Japanese before cutting back to English in the nick of time.
"And I appreciate the offer, but... Yakima, right now I really feel like two heads are better than one. And Olivia... well, I've only known her for like, half a day, but... she seems like she's used to this sort of thing. No offense!"
----------------
That- That just wasn't fair! How come Ben was being so persuasive all of a sudden?! All Yakima wanted to do was just tell him off, sternly but gently, that there was no way they were taking Olivia up on her offer! Ben wasn't some prop she was going to pawn off to the highest bidder!
And besides! She'd survived the halls of her own middle and high schools just fine, and she'd learned to get even with the jerks, perverts, and bullies who thought that her enormous chest made her a target!
Why couldn't Ben see that? He didn't need Olivia's help to get back at that- that- ooh! Just picturing that awful girl's face made her so mad!
All Ben needed was her!
Yakima's heart skipped a beat.
Where... where on Earth had that line of thinking come from?!
"Um... Yakima? You okay? ...Your cheeks are turning pretty red."
Oh God, he could see just how embarrassed she was! This wasn't- this wasn't like her at all! Yakima could feel the flush in her cheeks spreading all throughout her, warming her whole body... she could feel her heart pounding, feel her humongous chest rippling in time with her heaving breaths...
--------------
Was... Was Yakima having an allergic reaction or something? She was turning extremely red right now... it was actually kind of worrying.
Either way... looking at her food- her burger had been demolished, and there were only a few fries left. It seemed that your time at the restaurant would soon come to an end! Talk about an eventful meal!
You'd said your piece. You were willing to take Olivia's offer, assuming she would honor her end of the bargain.
That just left things up to Yakima. Without her agreement; you didn't have any way of getting to the modeling agency.
"Listen, Yakima... About Olivia's offer-"
You were abruptly cut off as Yakima's fist slammed down onto the table with a sharp thump!
1) "Alright! I'll accept her offer! I can't deny that the perks she's offering me are huge... but she better not mistreat you!" Yakima gets Olivia's number from the agency and calls her directly.
2) "I... I'm sorry, Ben. Please, just give me a little more time to think. I can't give you OR her an answer just yet." The two of you head home together.
3) "This conversation is over!" Before you can protest, Yakima stuffs you into her bra to silence you!
4) "I'll have an answer for you tomorrow, Ben. I need to think about this." Yakima orders more food for herself, surprisingly.
5) "Can we talk more about this?" The two of you head to a local park to continue the conversation.
And Olivia too. Maybe you'd misjudged the Hispanic model. You sure hadn't expected her to step up and come to your aid like that. Then again, when you put 2 and 2 together, in Olivia's eyes she'd been pretty clear that she'd just been 'protecting her investment.'
