Freya Stark
Native born Texan from birth to her recent 18th birthday
5'5 thick dark chocolate hair tamed only by the heat of a hair straightener that used to fall to the fall of her hips before she cut it all off just below the middle of her back before graduation. Sultry cat eyes in tones of dark brown they are almost black framed by long thick lashes. Flawless skin gently kissed by the golden rays of the sun from a lifetime under the sun. A heart shaped face with angelic dimples highlight the warm smile and full rosy pink bow like lips, a gentle swooped nose and cute chin all underlined by a curved jawline almost harsh on such a feminine face. Eloquent neckline, graceful shoulders with a full chest of rather large breasts almost threatening to topple her before narrowing down to a taut waist and blossoming hips. Her perfectly shaped apple bottom counter balances her sizable chest making for a handful and more of delectable flesh. All resting on a toned set of long legs with calves sculpted from years of hiking, swimming, sports and general fitness.
Freya had spent her whole like knowing what she wanted to do. Maybe it was the commercials during the super bowl or the glamourous ads in her magazines but there was something about staging something in its best light that made her want to go into advertising. Of course as a child she hadn’t realized the many different aspects and branches of advertisements and she used her years at school and every opportunity to narrow down her passion into a career. Unfortunately that still left a large amount of options available and many different roads to travel down.
She used those years of learning about her passion, all the extra projects, extracircular activities and finely stacked electives; paired with four years of perfect grades, earned Freya full ride scholarship to Liberty State University in New York, the country’s best marking and advertisement college for the last three decades. It was just want Freya had dreamed about, had work her ass off for and while her parents were excited they had never let Freya leave the house for longer than a week and never further then just down the road. Heck even daycare summer programs were pushing it at the edge of their town. It caused just the fight when it was mentioned that maybe it was too far. Freya was heartbroken and fell into a deep depression.
The depression didn’t last long as her father broke the new that not only was New York a suddenly viable option but he had also found her an internship. Over dinner he shared how his best friend Evan was some big wig in New York, just about ten minutes from Freya’s school in fact, and was not only thrilled to hear from his old friend but more than happy. As her dad chitchatted about how his friend was doing, Freya couldn’t help but remember the talk dark and handsome friend that she had developed her first crush on. Evan was funny; oh how she had loved to hear him laugh, smart; helping her with her homework when he was at her house visiting with her dad, good with his hands; she had tried to build a birdhouse for her mom but it wasn’t working and she was on the verge of tears when he showed up and not only saved the day but denied that he had anything to do with the birdhouse when Freya revealed her gift. There was nothing that wasn’t perfect about him Freya recalled remembering how she had fallen from the tree and he had not only carried her all the way back to the house but bandaged her knee and wrist. She had ended up fracturing her wrist and had to wear a hard cast all summer but her dad’s best friend/brother was the first on to sign and doodle on the stark white cast. As an unofficial uncle he was the best and it was too easy for Freya to fall in love only to hide her heartbreak at the age of 11 when he moved away because of his new promotion.
Things moved fast from that point on as her parents grew to the idea of New York. Together they found an apartment, flew up to see it and take a tour of her school and like that Freya was moved in and ready to go. The only person who hadn’t made it on board yet was Gavin, Freya’s longtime boyfriend. He had planned on attending a school in New York as well but hadn’t gotten in, planning on attending his first year at the local college to booster what he lacked so he could join her in New York.

Most kids when given a whole sum of money got hog wild. I’d like to think I was more rational and logic driven, a transit year pass, down payment on a small but comfortable apartment and for the most part I was. Until you opened my closet and noticed that everything was new or deeply loved. The only things that had made the trip from Texas to New York was my broken in leather bomber jacket, Gavin’s swim team hoodie and a few sets of jeans. Everything else I purchased when I moved. I kept telling myself it was a new start and not that I wanted to be someone else but maybe it was more about being someone shiny and new. I wanted to make an impression and I wanted to be seen as the woman I had turned into and not remembered as the girl child I had been.
Dad had pushed me to meet with Evan beforehand but I delayed and made excuses as to why I couldn’t met for lunch, or couldn’t be there at some meeting spot. Dad seemed determined to rekindle his friendship through me but Mom had my back and kept him in check. All Dad could think about was the good ol’ days and with me being in NY working for Evan he now had a reason to hang out with his brother from another family. Funny how an old friend could turn back time. The problem was I didn’t want to turn back time, this was my time and I wanted to make my first appearance memorable.
True I had a boyfriend and we were happy but Evan Lewis had been my first crush. Sure he had been Dad’s friend but as a kid he was that cool guy that always took the time to say hi, help me out when I needed it. I was a dork, writing his name in my binder and frowning at how unmatched Freya Lewis sounded, it didn’t have that storybook flow that I had hoped but that didn’t seem to matter. But this wasn’t a Disney movie and like a heartbreaking plot in a Nickolas Spark book, Evan moved away and I never saw him again.
That’s why our first re-meeting was so important.
Monday morning and I was up with the sun, jittering with nerves and excitement. The night before I had laid out my outfit for the day taking great pains in pairing the right heels with the purse and dress. I wanted to standout but not be flashy. Show off my curves but not be too out there for all too see. A tease at what was under the layers of fabric but not enough to outline it, just the right amount to keep them coming back for more. It was a skill I hadn’t mastered in Texas and if it hadn’t been for Pinterest I would’ve been in more trouble than I was willing to admit.
“Okay.” I prepped myself taking a deep breath staring up at the building before me. “This is it.” I nodded putting on my brightest smile as I walked into the lobby floor of the building.
I was used to fast or so I thought until I moved to NY, the streets were intimidating but for some reason I hadn’t expected the inside of the building to be just as rushed. The lobby was filled with people who knew where they were going and for a moment I felt unsure of myself. The text that I had gotten from Dad the night before simply said that Evan would meet me in the lobby. As I would have expected there was a front desk, a security line, beyond that was the elevators and staircases. On the civilian side of the security were plush leather couches and loungers gathered in little groups here and there. Not that it seemed any was using them. Instead those who weren’t heading straight for the security clearance were gathered around what I could only guess to be a coffee cart.
“Mmmm, coffee.” I purred happily, letting my nose lead the way to the brewed beans. It’s not like I didn’t have the time to wait in the rather long line.
