Chapter 3

" I'm Nagisa. The boy you gave a lift from Haruto's tea party last night."

 We stood before each other in heavy silence. Only our breath could be heard or it might probably be my breath. 

 My mouth moved. " You're a girl?"

 Nagisa narrowed his eyes and it was uncanny how long and glossy his lashes were. " I'm a crossdresser."

 I didn't know how long I stared at him but long enough to cause an awkward silence that hung around the room.  And to think I was never going to see him again. The world is indeed full of surprises. Standing before me was a crossdresser. I gave a lift to a crossdresser last night and here he was in my company to model for me. 

 Not wanting to cause a disturbing scene, I dug my hands in my pockets, screwing my face into a hardened look. " I learnt you're not interested in our exclusive contract."

 " That's right, Mr Langdon."

 " Mind telling me why? The contract carries a good payment and—"

 He cut me off sharply. " I'm aware of that, Mr Langdon but I'd rather sign a non-exclusive contract. I do other modelling jobs as well, plus I'm in college."

 I couldn't still place if this dude was a guy or a girl. His looks, his eyes, his lips and his voice was soo feminine I found it hard to believe this is a crossdresser. It was those eyes that decided me. It was Nagisa. The very same guy I gave a lift last night. There couldn't have been another person with that same rare eye colour. 

 I turned to Ruth who was leaned up against the wall, with her clipboard. " I'll want the room alone with him. Take the ladies with you."

 Ruth beckoned to the other ladies. " If y'all would follow me please."

  The Japanese models followed her amidst chattering and snickering. The moment they were gone, I turned fully to face Nagisa. 

 " Take off your clothes."

 Nagisa raised an eyebrow. " Excuse me?"

 I swallowed a lump down my throat. " I wanna be certain this isn't some bluff. It's difficult to believe you're a crossdresser."

 Nagisa said nothing. He began taking off his things. I stood still, breath held as he undressed until he was only on his underwear. He wore fake boobs but that was the only thing fake about him. His body was so small and delicate like that of a baby. He had slender legs that were hairless. I couldn't spot a single hair on his body. The most astonishing part was his skin: so flawless, snow white and soft looking. 

 Nagisa stood, watching me with a hand on his hips. If he had boobs, I'd have swore he was a girl. Even without boobs, he looked so feminine without even trying. I had to confess, this guy caught me off guard. I've never seen a man who looked this way in my whole life. 

 " I can take off my underwear if you're still doubtful," Nagisa said, watching my gaping face. 

 I stiffened and went pink in the face. " Absolutely not. I think this is enough. Put on some clothes."

 As he bent to pick his clothes from the floor, I wandered over to the window and stared out of it. I didn't want to see him dress up. My nerves were fluttering and I felt my blood rushing through my veins in line with my racing heart. 

 Unreal. How on Earth is this happening? 

 " I'm done," I heard Nagisa announced behind me. 

I turned around and was once again facing the lovely girl I met when I stepped into the room. It had taken him only a matter of eight minutes to get dressed. He's pretty effective. With that shape, that lovely face and his perfect skin, he'd make an extraordinary model for my lingeries. You wouldn't think to look at him that way but he looked like an I*******m super model with just the right touches.

 " What happened to your body," I asked, pulling out a gold case of cigarette from my pockets. " Did you undergo some surgery?"

 Nagisa buried his hands in his pockets, a Faraway look in his eyes. " I was born this way."

 " No kidding," I lit a cigarette and moved to one of the cushioned seats and settled my bulk on it. " My first impression of you were you got yourself to look like this."

 Nagisa shook his head. He looked bored and tired with me. " This is who I am."

 There was something I liked about him. He was straightforward and with the right flow of words. But it was his indifference towards me that hooked me. Unlike everyone else who's after me for one favour or another, Nagisa seemed less concerned about who I was and my capabilities. He just doesn't give a hoot about anyone. His eyes reflected that. 

 I drew in smoke, regarding him closley. " Say, are you the geisha girl from last night?"

 He tightened his lips. " Yes."

 I stopped smoking. This, I thought was another shock though I was expecting it. My suspicion was correct, again. He was the geisha. My mind was blown away. 

 Rising to my feet immediately, I walked towards him until I was standing right before him. His eyes held mine as if it were a magnet. I tried keeping a calm face but staring straight into those green eyes, gave me cold feet. I felt weak. 

 " I still see no reason why you wouldn't take up our exclusive contract," I started. " The pay's very good. You just have to work only for me."

 " I'd prefer a non-exclusive, Mr Langdon."

 " We don't offer non-exclusive, Nagisa."

 " Then I don't suppose I can work for you."

 I kept staring at him, admiring his guts and spirit. " It won't sound fair to to the other models if we chose to make you a non-exclusive contract."

 Nagisa shrugged and breaking his gaze, he wandered over to where he dropped his school bag and picked it up. " Fair enough then. Find yourself another model."

 Then he began moving towards the elevator. 

  I instantly called out to him. " Wait."

 He paused, his fingers lingering over the buttons of the elevator. 

 " Fine," I was without breath. " You want a non-exclusive, you're hired."

 Nagisa glanced at me over his shoulder and his green eyes glittered. 

 * * * * 

 I was more surprised at myself for accepting his offer. In all my years of deal Making, I've never let my self go over my decision. I stand firm on what I've decided and no one dares to oppose me. But today proved otherwise. I was in a corner without anything to justify what I did an hour ago. 

 A crossdresser from nowhere made me went against my decision. An unheard of kind of thing. I got Nagisa to sign a non-exclusive contract immediately without wasting a moment. 

 He took his time and was in no rush to sign. I was the one rushing things up. I didn't want him having any second thoughts cause mere looking at him, he looked like he might change his mind at any given moments. I have a talent for reading people but this dude was way out of my league. I couldn't predict his next move. 

 Ruth had the other models signed on exclusive contracts. The deal between Nagisa and I were kept confidential. I was taking that risk cause I don't want the other models to feel cheated on. Being on a non-exclusive contract had great benefits. For one, you could model outside the walls of our company for other brands and get paid. An exclusive contract would mean dedication and loyalty to my own company. You can't model for anyone else. I'm a little stingy but I just want my products to be unique. That was the plan until Nagisa came along with his own ideas. 

 Smoking in my chair, I glared at myself at the wall mirror as the photographers did the finishing touches to the photo studio. We were going to do a photo shoot for our very first unveiling lingerie product. I had decided to use Nagisa to start up. I wanna see how good he was. 

 As I sat in the director seat, I realized my heart was pounding with some sort of excitement. Just imagining him in some sexy women's lingerie made me hot under the collar. I wanted to see more of his body. 

 This was crazy, why was a guy giving me such crazy vibes? Only women gave me this much excitement.

 Lights, camera, background check, wallpapers and we were all set and ready. The photo studio was buzzing with life. 

 Ruth came up behind me and whispered to my ears. " Can we begin?"

 I grunted. " Sure."

 Like the splitting of red curtains, Nagisa surfaced into the limelight. I stiffened in my chair at what I was seeing. Even some of the men around were awed. 

 He was in some sexy red lingeries that gripped his curves and alighted his delicate skin. I gripped the handle of my seat as I watched this dude walked towards the white background and stood waiting for directions. 

I couldn't believe my eyes. This isn't a boy, this was a super model. Only Ruth and I knew Nagisa was a crossdresser. The crew had no idea. They all thought he was some hot female I*******m model.

 From where I sat, I heard the photographer whistled in lust. 

 Soon, Nagisa was striking sexy poses that gave me chills. The way he Moved reminded me of a beautiful snake and his green eyes brought more life to his doll face. Cameras flashed here and there, blinding my eyes but never blinding the gracefully movement of Nagisa off my mind. 

 I just sat there, my mouth hanging opened, looking like an idiot who's just seeing a naked woman for the very first time.
