running his hand through his hair. “I’m really
sorry. Business calls. I have an emergency situation that I must attend to.”
    “I guess I’ll see you on the subway.”
Gwen gave him a half smile.  He pulled her to him and planted a hard kiss on
her lips.
    “Will you please let me take you
out for dinner sometime? I need to see you again. And not for sex, although
that was pretty mind blowing and I wouldn’t mind if it happened again.” Cole looked
into her eyes. He had to know before he left.
    “We’ll talk about it on the subway
in the morning.” Gwen gave him a soft kiss on the lips then pushed him back
gently. “Go, take care of your situation.”
    Cole stepped back his eyes still on
hers. Finally he turned and walked off. He stopped to look back at her once
more before going out the doors. 
    “I take it that went well.” McKayla
asked Gwen. Gwen looked at her and laughed.
    “I suppose you could say that. Wish
you could’ve stayed though.” Gwen wrapped her arms around McKayla’s waist.
    “Men do nothing for me. But seeing
him with you is hotter than hell.” McKayla smiled as they walked back into the
club.

    Gwen didn’t see Cole the next
morning. Since she didn’t have company, she flipped out her sketch pad and
feverishly ran the pencil across the paper. She couldn’t get out the design
fast enough. The ideas were just crowding in on each other in her mind ever
since she woke up. As soon as she got the general idea down of one dress, she’d
flip to the next blank page and start another one.  She had four ideas down
before she got to school. The designs were very rough and needing much more time
and work put into them but she could do that later. 
    She had decided to wear a pale pink
pencil skirt and a white ¾ length sleeved top with crisscrossing material over
the bust and was tight all over. She paired it with a pair of 3 inch white
pumps and a few pink and white glass bangle bracelets. She left her hair down
because she hadn’t wanted to fight with it.  She couldn’t lie and say that she
hadn’t dressed especially nice and a bit sexy because she had been anticipating
seeing Cole again, but when he didn’t show, she tried to shove it from her
mind. He did say he had an emergency to deal with.  
    She exited the subway and went to
her class just like every other Thursday. She finally got the results from her
big exam. She’d passed with an A as she had hoped. YES! Then, as she was
getting ready to leave her second and final class for the day, her instructor
approached her.
    “Gwen, I have something for you.”
The instructor said. She held out a business card to Gwen.
    “Really? What is it?” Gwen took the
card and looked it over. It was for someone at MHKR, a company that pretty much
owned all those clothing brands that on shirt could cost more than some people
paid in rent for a month. A vast majority of those extremely expensive brands
were owned by MHKR.
    “Apparently someone from there has
seen some of your designs and asked the school to get in touch with you.” The instructor
told her. Gwen’s eyes widened. “I would highly recommend not letting this go
unattended to. MHKR doesn’t contact design students very often. In fact, they
don’t recruit ANY new designers. They normally only hire experienced designers
and even that is only once every few years. I hope this goes places for you
because you have some of the best designs I’ve seen from anyone, let alone a first
year student.”
    Gwen nodded but didn’t know what
else to say. She didn’t know how they had seen her designs. Then again, the
school had a lot of her designs that she had submitted in order to get admitted
plus the ones she submitted for assignments. Some of her teachers were still
very close to designers in the industry, so who knows how she had been brought
to their attention. No matter how she got their attention she was going to do
her best to keep it. It would
