When you’re pregnant by your billionaire ex-boss with whom you’ve just
had an ambiguous break-up, you need your best friend to get through it all.
Unfortunately, mine was headed for Paris, for fittings and run throughs for
Elie Saab’s runway show. I was so proud of Holli, and so freaked out at the
same time. We’d lived together since our first semester of college. The
longest we’d been apart had been for a few days, visiting family. Now, I
wouldn’t see her for four weeks, as she was immersed in a media blitz
carefully orchestrated by her brilliant agency.
Everything seemed to have exploded for Holli overnight. Not only would
she be walking in her first fashion week show, she’d also be featured in the
pages of French Vogue. The side-trip to London, to be interviewed for a
BBC documentary about body image, was going to be the thing that pushed
her over the top, I knew, even if she was trying not to pin too many hopes
on the next month.
I was bursting with happiness for her, but I have to admit I was slightly
bumming myself out by comparing our situations. It was difficult, though;
her career was taking off like a rocket, and mine had burnt up on reentry.
“Baby, you are gonna miss your flight,” Deja, Holli’s girlfriend, called out
with the certainty of a mother telling her kids they were going to miss the
school bus. I didn’t envy her the task of trying to herd Holli to the airport.
Dressed head to toe in sleek, sexy black, from the very professional cut of
her blazer to the very rock star chic matte leather pants she wore, Deja
could have been a model, herself. Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a
sleek, low ponytail, and her brown skin shone beneath what I suspected was
Smashbox Soft Lights bronzer.
Former assistant beauty editor skills died hard.
“She’s already packed, unpacked, and repacked six times,” I said, looking
up from my bowl of cereal to nod toward Holli’s bedroom. I stood beside
the refrigerator in the same pajamas I had been wearing for the past four
days, trying really hard to not be miserable in front of Deja. She still
worked for my possibly-ex-boyfriend-slash-definite-baby-daddy, Neil
Elwood, successful publishing magnate and idiot man-child billionaire.
That was just the kind of resentment I couldn’t express in front of her. I
really didn’t want to put her in the middle of anything. I had been the moron
who’d dated my boss; why should Deja suffer awkwardness as a
consequence?
But, I guess it’s impossible to not look miserable when you haven’t
showered since before your maybe-ex’s emergency hospitalization. Deja’s
big, dark eyes filled with sympathy as she looked at me. “Still haven’t heard
from him?”
In my anger leaving the hospital the night of our kind-of breakup, I’d
asked Neil to give me a few days to cool off. Or think. Or something. I’d
been faced with the choice of taking a job with my old boss’s new magazine
on the condition that I discontinue my involvement with Neil, who was
currently running Porteras— the magazine I used to work for— into the
