Kelly Douglass sat in the waiting room looking at the clock nervously. It was almost nine, time for her interview with the representative of "Eros Modeling." Kelly had been waiting for the last half hour. She'd arrived a full hour early in hopes of making a good impression, but so far it didn't seem to get noticed by anyone except Sylvia, the receptionist, who simply told her to wait and went back to typing at her computer and answering the occasional phone call.
Kelly let her grey blue eyes wander around the room yet again. It was a dull yellow painted room, grey carpet, the red clock on the wall, some pictures of attractive people in their 20s on the wall and Sylvia at her desk. Kelly noted Sylvia was a blonde with a voluptuous build with. She wore a mint green dress and her blouse revealed quite a bit of her generous breasts.
Kelly reminded herself that she needed to focus on the job, she needed this job or any job really. Kelly was twenty-six and had no work experience. She'd been dating the same guy, Jake, since college and figured his future as an attorney would be her support.
Kelly recently discovered that Jake had been cheating on her and now Kelly's world was turned upside down. She still didn't understand how she could be cheated on. Kelly was often hit on and pursued. Many liked her white alabaster skin tone, lightly curly brown hair that reached to the bottom of her shoulder blades, and blue eyes. She was 5'5" tall, had natural 36 C breasts, and a toned body from regular trips to the gym. She'd even tried learning tricks in the bedroom to keep Jake interested and she'd thought it worked until she caught Jake banging some girl that looked like she was fresh out of high school in their apartment.
Now Kelly had to come up with a back up plan. Kelly still lived with Jake and Jake claimed he was sorry, but she needed to find a way out and soon. She'd looked into various jobs and was either written off as too inexperienced or the pay wasn't right for her needs. Recently she'd seen an ad off the internet for models ages 18-30 for "Eros Modeling." Kelly figured she was was in the age range and attractive, so she'd give it a shot, the worst they could say was "no," right?
Kelly called the number and had the appointment set up two days later. During that time Kelly prepared herself. She decided she needed this job both financially and for her self esteem so she could tell herself she'd supported herself on her own. She decided she needed to show confidence, enthusiasm, that she was a team player, and that she was a "go getter" because that's what she figured employers valued.
Kelly searched the internet for what models should wear to interviews and selected a short skirt that was about two inches above the knee, black stockings, high heels, and a light grey v-neck that hugged to her form nicely while presenting just enough cleavage of her breasts to call attention but leave the imagination to run wild. She tied her hair back and applied makeup. She took particular focus in accentuating her almond shaped eyes and making her thin lips look fuller and pouty with some red lipstick.
Kelly's mental replaying of her planning for the interview was interrupted wehn the phone on Sylvia's desk rang. Kelly continued running through possible questions and answers for the interview as Sylvia spoke to the caller. Syliva looked up from her computer and reached for the phone at her desk. Sylvia sat a little straighter and brushed one lock of blond hair with her free hand as she began to speak, "Yes, Mr. Clemens, she's here."
Kelly noted that Sylvia was probably in her mid forties and was more "full bodied" than Kelly. Kelly couldn't help compare herself to Sylvia. Kelly hoped that her appearance in comparison to the receptionist was a good omen for her chances of being hired.
"Miss Douglass, Mr. Clemens will see you now. He's in the third room on the right." Kelly stood from her chair, legs a little shaky, and walked to the door. Sylvia smiled and said, "Good luck sweety, relax and you'll do fine." and winked.
* * *
Kelly walked down the hall until she found the room third door on the right and she knocked. "Come on in!" yelled a man's voice. Kelly opened the door and entered the room.
The room was painted white, with the same grey carpet, more models pictured on the wall, and some strange asian looking statues in each corner, maybe samurais Kelly thought . . . if that was right? The only other object in the room was a desk with Kelly's possible future employer sitting behind it typing at his computer.
Mr. Clemens was a stocky balding white male in a grey blue suit. Kelly guessed he was probably in his forties or fifties. He was working away at his computer while gesturing for Kelly to enter with his hand. Mr. Clemens looked over, smiled and said "Please take a seat, I just have to send this message to one of my performers, scheduling issues and all that." The man typed a few more entries into the computer and then sent his message.
Mr. Clemens rested back in his chair and turned as he spoke, "Kelly, is it? You may call me Ray, Raymond Clemens. Please take a seat and let's begin. I'm very busy as I am sure you are also."
Kelly smiled and sat down while wishing she really was busy. Mr. Clemens looked over some papers, "I have your application but I can't seem to find a resume. Did you bring one with you?"
Kelly winced, "Actually, Mr. Clemens, I don't have a resume. I've never had a job."
Ray frowned and furrowed his brow in thought and he looked her up and down. "Hmm, well I admit you are very attractive . . . but we usually prefer some experience in modeling or acting or at least for someone . . . " he looked over her application, " of your age that is. It says here you are twenty-six, is that correct?"
Kelly felt a shiver of fear run down her back, this was going badly and fast. "Yes," she replied. "But your ad said you were looking for models 18-30. I fall in the middle of that, surely there has to be roles for me."
Ray offered a sympathetic look, "Yes, I know the ad says that but . . . we primarily higher models under 23 or so. Older models have to be . . . very exceptional."
Kelly felt two emotions wrestling within her, fear that she wouldn't get the job and anger that she'd felt misled by the ad. "I'm sorry, but I'm a little surprised that the ad should basically have said 18-23 instead of 18-30. This is a bit of a shock. The ad also said the job paid in the hundreds per session, was that true?"
Ray smiled, "Yes that was 100% accurate the rates do pay in the hundreds based on the models marketability and versatility."
Kelly felt her anger giving away to the fear,
so the money is real
. . . I just have to get the job. But how?
"Please Mr. Clemens, please you have to give me a chance. How can I prove to you that I am exceptional and can get the job done?"
Ray looked truly saddened, "I'm sorry Miss Douglass, but I just don't think you are what Eros is looking for."
Kelly hadn't realized she'd pinned so much hope on this interview and felt so sure that she'd get it until now . . . now that she could see that she would not get the job. Kelly began to cry, "Please Mr. Clemens, please, I need this job. My boyfriend cheated on me, it's over. I need to leave him but I can't support myself. I don't know what to do!"
Ray rushed from his desk and reached for Kelly, "Miss Douglass, calm down please." Kelly rose from the chair as Ray approached. Ray was shorter than Kelly and his rush towards her brought his face into contact with Kelly's generous breasts. Kelly backed up suddenly in shock, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for . . . "
Ray backed away and smiled "It's OK, really, I understand and that also proves my point."
Kelly was confused and sniffled as she tried getting herself under control while also processing that her breasts had just come into contact with this virtual stranger's face, "What point? What do you mean?"
Ray looked up at her, "That you aren't . . . exceptional." We need our models to be more . . . free spirited."
Kelly calmed as Ray's hints registered. "Are you saying that your models get felt up?"
Ray shrugged, "Yes, now you understand. We also have them pose nude and with actors of both sexes at times in suggestive manners that require contact between models. Like I said, I don't think you're what we are looking for."
Kelly though this over, "I've got no problem with contact if I'm clothed and probably not if it's nude as long as it's professional."
Ray acted insulted, "My dear, we at Eros are all professional all the time. We do clothed modeling as well as nude, but the nude photos pay better.
Kelly feared her offense toward the company had dug her professional career even sooner than it was headed. Kelly remembered her options and decided she wouldn't lose this opportunity so easily. "It doesn't matter if it's lower pay, I can do that and maybe as I get better I can try nude shots? Please, Mr. Clemens, give me a shot."
Ray walked back to his desk and sat down while in thought. He looked Kelly up and down again. He settled on her breasts. "Well, if you really are serious about wanting this job . . . I could talk to one of our photographers and see if he'd get you some professional shoots, but you'd have to prove yourself to be exceptional.
Kelly felt a surge of hope, she didn't particularly like how the small man was looking at her breasts, but she wore the top for a reason and felt vindicated that her looks and determination were prevailing. "What can I do?"
