"Shit, It's so cold" I mumbled to myself as I stood up to shut my bedroom window. It's just another normal winter's morning here in New York City, and I am the only person in the apartment building who wakes up at 5 am every morning. That is the only negative part of owning my own model agency, I have to be at work first to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. The people that work under me at my agency knows the words "late for work" just doesn't exist in my vocabulary. That's why I have some of the best employees in NY. They respect me and I respect them, even if I don't let it show much. I sigh to myself as I start making my way to the bathroom for a well deserved shower. I take a scolding hot shower to calm my nerves and prepare myself for another hard day at work.

Once I'm finished, I turn off the shower and make my way to the bathroom sink to brush my teeth.."Oww FUCK" I scold myself as n stood up and hit my head against my bathroom cabinet, I just hope that my day turns out way better than it started. I don't have energy for new models who think that they are the new Heidi Klum or Gisele Bundchen.

….

"Excuse me Miss! Miss!" The poor guy had to scream at me to get my attention. I looked up and saw the two most beautiful grey eyes staring at me. "Is this seat taken?" he asked politely. I quickly looked to my left to see that the seat next to me is open, I didn't even realize that it was. When you take the subway for so long, you don't even worry who sits next to you anymore. "No, no, you can sit! Wow you have really nice eyes… " I stopped blubbering when I realised that I was talking too fast and not thinking clearly. "I am really sorry! It's one of my fatal flaws" I said while blushing, but I really hoped that he could not see it against my olive skin tone. "What is?" he smiled at me and I almost melted. He has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. "Me babbling like a smitten teenage girl" I tried not to look too embarrassed as I said it. "Oh that, don't worry about that. It's human to have faults". Oh my gosh, did he just say that? I think I have found my Prince Charming. "So where are you heading?" I asked him in a sexy voice. "I am heading to my girlfriends house to help her…". The rest I didn't even want to hear. He kept talking and I kept nodding my head but I didn't even listen to a word he was saying. I stopped listening once the word "girlfriend" popped out of his trouty mouth. Why is the good guys always taken? My day just keeps getting better and better, I thought to myself sarcastically.

…..

"Liz where is my coffee? Remember I want Decaf!". I always need my coffee when I'm going through the list of new models we will be interviewing this afternoon . I have to throw out the girls who don't stand a chance, those who do and then those I definitely want working for my company. "Liz! Coffee! Now!". Jeez what is taking that woman so long?

"I'm so so sorry Miss Lopez, I was just talking to this girl in the waiting room, she really wants to give in her application and I really…"

"I'm sorry Liz but you have to turn her down, the closing dates for the applications was yesterday. No late entries, remember?"

"Yes Miss Lopez I know that, but you really have to see her before you say no!"

"I can't do that Liz, then everybody is going to want to have special treatment." I turned my eyes back to the bunch of applications in front of me when I heard Liz give me an irritated sigh. I looked at her direction and asked in a unamused tone, "What?"

"Santana! Trust me, as a friend I would not lie to you when I tell you I see so much potential in this girl. And don't give me the "we are not friends look", because I know we are. I'm the only one who can truly put up with your bitchy attitude."

I stared at her in shock for a few seconds, before I gave in. "Fine! Send her in, but if she is not worth my time, you will pay my bar tab for a month!"

"Deal", she said with an arrogant smile

…..

30 Minutes later there was a light knock on my door. As I looked up, my throat went dry as a tall legged beauty with the most piercing eyes stood in front of me.

"Uh Hi miss Lopez, I'm Brittany Pierce, your assistant said that you would see me regarding the applications."

"Wow, I, uh, yeah take a seat. Please." Not only was she extremely beautiful but she was really innocent and had really good manners. I really wanted this girl to work for me, but when I looked her in the eyes I couldn't help but sense a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach…

"How can I help you Miss Pierce?" I couldn't take my eyes away from the beautiful girl in front of me, she was just so mesmerizing.

"I really want a job at your agency but I unfortunately missed the deadlines, I really want a chance to show you that I can do a great job and that I will represent your agency in the best way possible. I really need the money and I don't know any other agency that pay as well as yours, Miss Lopez."

She looked really sad when she mentioned that she needed the money, a part of me wanted to ask why she needed it so urgently but another part of me knew that it would be unprofessional. I really, really wanted to give this girl a chance so I decided that she would be an exception. I would give her a chance even though I don't normally give late comers a chance. "Its fine, Miss Pierce, if you could just follow me. Are you fine with doing a quick walk on the runway for me, so that my assistants and I can see how good you are and how well you can carry yourself out there?"

"Certainly Miss Lopez, thank you so much for the opportunity. You won't regret this." She said with one of the biggest and brightest smiles I have ever seen. Her whole face lit up and it made her eyes shine more beautifully with happiness.

As I walked past Liz's office just outside mine, I couldn't help but see the smug smile she had on her lips. I made a mental note to thank her later, if I can swallow my pride. As we walked through the hallway on our way to the mini runway we have at the back, I couldn't help but smile at Brittany's reaction. She looked like a little girl at a museum, her face full of awe.

I cleared my throat and opened the door to our dressing rooms, I quickly called out for Kurt. Our costume manager, and also one of the best people to go to for fashion advice. "Santana! What a great pleasure to see you here! Oh, who do we have here?"

"This is Brittany Pierce, Miss Pierce this is Kurt Hummel. Kurt please let her put on one of our most beautiful Dior One-piece swimsuits and do something to her hair please and also call Emily so that she can put some make up on Miss Pierce. I will be waiting at the runway, when she is ready please bring her so that we can see what she's got."

With that I turned around and gave her a wink and made my way to the door, just when I was about to turn the knob, I heard her calling my name. Just as I turned around I felt her lips press softly against my cheek. "Thank you so much Miss Lopez, you won't regret this."

I felt my face starting to burn and quickly made my way out of the room and to the runway…

…

Once I was seated at the edge of the walkway, one of my assistants Quinn Fabray came to join me. "So is this girl really as worth it as Liz claims her to be?" I looked at her with a sly smile "oh, you'll see…"

Just then Kurt made his way over to us and loudly pronounced, "Ladies, I present to you Brittany Susan Pierce!"

Just then Brittany made her way down the runway and I was in awe. She was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, the way she walked down the runway was just amazing. Quinn nudged me and whispered, "she is so beautiful, San." I couldn't take my eyes of the angel on the runway and just murmured to myself, "So, so, beautiful"
