“Okay, Elle Woods. Pop off!”
Candice preened under her own words, fluttering her lashes as she appraised herself one final time in the mirror. She knew she looked totes cute in today’s ensemble, but it was always nice to remind herself with loud affirmations. She was wearing her favourite high-waisted, hot-pink shorts, tailored to exactly match her cutest suit jacket. The fit had come together perfectly, matched simply with a plain white tee. Today’s interview needed to go well, and she was dressing to impress.
She looked hot, with pretty ringlets framing her face while her hair was pinned back into a perfectly curled ponytail, swishing delicately against her neck just the same as it had during her days as Cheer Captain. Whatever that grumpy gills Forrest thought of her, she was about to change his mind. Plus, babies like, loved bright colours, so she’d totally bet Robin would love her on sight.
“Totes profesh, babes,” Joe nodded in approval as he came up behind her, arm circling his waist as he stared at them in the mirror.
Or, rather, her boyfriend stared at himself in the mirror, as he was prone to do. Candice couldn’t remember the last time he’d actually looked at her with any real interest, but whatevs. She and her high school sweetheart looked sexy together, which was really all that mattered. Tipping her face to the side, she elegantly angled her jaw just so, allowing him to press a chaste kiss to her jawline. He gave her ass a light tap before disappearing off into the kitchen, without so much as an offer of good luck or, at the very least, a see ya later, doll.
Candy pinched the leather strap of her Prada Galleria between her thumb and forefinger before hoisting it onto her shoulder, crinkling her nose as she felt the weight of her binder inside. Usually, the Peach Saffiano leather was home to the usual essentials – her compact, lip balm, and her trusty bottle of Coco Mademoiselle – but today she’d had to make space for her résumé, DBS check, photo ID, and just, like, a totally adorable photo of her bottle feeding her baby cousin. Just in case he wanted to see that, duh!
She was not interested in muddling through the gritty New York subway, especially at such an ungodly hour, so she’d phoned ahead to have a car come pick her up and had put the expenses on Joe’s credit card. The diner did not pay well enough to suit her lifestyle, but she found ways to make do since her father had cut her off. She made it to Forrest’s apartment complex in good time and, with freshly manicured nails, gave his door a hearty knock. She needed to prove to this naysayer that she was, like, totally professional and could so do early mornings! He wouldn’t be doubting her for much longer, that was for sure.
When the door swung open, Candy’s eyes widened at the sight of the man on the other side. He was a little tired looking, but mostly in that sexy, rugged way that had always endeared her to Levi and his ridiculous eight pack. She squeezed her thighs shut, sliding her feet together as she tried not to let her mind wander there, as she slid her lower lip between her teeth, delightedly appraising the certified daddy that was staring back at her.
“Enchanté,” Candy smiled, batting her baby blues at the mention of her name. She didn’t speak a word of French, obvi, but she thought it made her sound slightly... alluring.
Forrest was already frowning at her, so she decided to sidestep him entirely as she shimmied her way into his apartment. It was all topsy turvy, with toys littered everywhere. She supposed Luke would described it as lived in, which was kind of cute in a sort of quirky, poor person way! After giving the living room a quick once over, she twirled on the spot to face him, ready to make a great second impression.
“Forrest, let me start by, like, totally apologising for getting off on the wrong foot, babe!” Candice started, letting her lips pucker into a soft pout. It was what Jude often called her sexiest look, Levi branding the current set of her mouth blowjob-esque, which she hoped worked in her favour. Usually, she could just bat her eyes and look impossibly gorgeous and men would forgive her anything.
