Birthday Girl
“Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.” – Emily
Dickinson
I can’t help that I’m beautiful. There – I’ve said it.
I’m not saying I’m God’s Gift or anything, I’m just being honest. I won
big in the genetic lottery, so of course I’d try to make a career out of it. Why
should I apologise to my sister for my success? Just because I scored a
modelling contract with the city’s most prestigious agency, an apartment
overlooking the park and the most gorgeous boyfriend in the world, does
not make me a –
“… selfish, conceited cow!” as she put it, storming out of The Lava Bar
during my pre-birthday speech about how good my life was turning out. I
didn’t even get to finish!
Growing up as a teenager, all Kasey wanted was to fit in with my
friends and be one of the gang, despite being two years younger and having
more in common with the seven-year-old bug-collecting boy from next
door. You wouldn’t know by looking at us that we’re sisters. I was tall, slim,
with glossy black hair and a well-proportioned face, whereas she was
vertically challenged, had an unruly mop on her head from an unfortunate
perm and was… how could I say it? A little… pudgy… to put it nicely. I
loved my sister of course, but sometimes her jealous outbursts drove me
mad!
As Kasey stomped heavily out the door, I went to dash after her but a
hand grasped my forearm.
“Forget it, Kelli, there’s no use going after her, it’ll only end in a huge
fight as always,” said Selena, a fellow model with The Goldberg Agency,
face of Mystique Cosmetics and my best friend for the past three years.
“She’s right. Just leave her be.” My boyfriend and highly sought-after
photographer, Grant Mills, tucked an escaped strand of hair back behind my
ear.
I sat on a chair and fiddled with the straw in my empty glass. “Okay, I’ll
talk to her when she’s calmed down. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if
she boycotts my birthday party tomorrow night.”
“Are you kidding?” A wide-eyed Selena plonked her almost empty
margarita down on the table and a drop of liquid splashed on my hand. “I
doubt she’d miss a chance to rub shoulders with Max Sheldon. She’ll be
there, you wait and see.”
She was probably right. Kasey had been at me for weeks about Max,
asking if he had a girlfriend and whether he liked going snorkelling or birdwatching in his spare time. I could be wrong, but something told me the
Max I knew – the most popular underwear model in the country, who held
no modesty about his blessed DNA – was more likely to be found working
on his tan than going snorkelling, and watching different kinds of birds
behind his two-thousand-dollar sunglasses.
Grant’s warm hand squeezed my shoulder. “Anyway, don’t let your
sister ruin your birthday celebrations, how about another round of drinks?
Champagne all round, I say.” Without waiting for our agreement, he walked
up to the bar.
Selena leaned forward over the table and curled her finger in a ‘come
here’ gesture. “I’m so glad I can finally speak to you alone,” she said.
“What is it?”
