"Alright here's the room." Stevie said holding the door open for me.

"Thanks." I walked in.

"You ready?" He asked closing the door behind him as I nodded. "Great, so I want you to take a bunch of pictures," he stood in front of me. "The more pictures you take the better chance you have to show your talent."

I nodded looking around the big room seeing other models and photographers, the photography crew, hairdressers, and makeup artists.

I spotted Vanessa sitting on a chair facing a mirror. A hairdresser was standing behind her putting her hair up into a messy bun. Looking up, her eyes met mines through the mirror. She raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Your taking pictures of me?" She mouthed. I nodded and she clapped softly looking away.

I smiled. "You got that Y/n?"

I looked back at him and nodded quickly. "Yup, every word."

"Right, let's meet Vanessa then." He started towards her and I followed. "Vanessa, I want to introduce you to Y/n," he gestured to me. "Y/n this is Vanessa."

She stood up and walked closer to me. "It's great to meet you Y/n."

I smiled down at her. "It's great to meet you too Vanessa." She smiled back as we held eye contact.

I really love her smile.

Stevie cleared his throat. "Well, let's get to work."

Vanessa slowly backed away still holding eye contact. "Let's." She turned and walked towards a stool that was in front of a blank background farthest away from everyone.

"Alright, Y/n come with me," we walked towards a table filled with camera equipment. "This is Tristian and he's an intern." Stevie introduced me to a scrawny boy.

"Hi," he said. "Here's the camera you wanted sir." Stevie grabbed the camera and handed it to me.

"Y/n this is a Nikon D850, one of the best high-resolution cameras on the market."

I stared at the camera in awe. This shit cost damn near $4,000 but, what did I expect this is a photoshoot.

"Yeah awesome," I looked over at Vanessa who was waiting patiently. "Let's start this photoshoot."

He nodded. "Yes, meet me in my office when you're done."

I frowned my eyebrows. "You're not staying?"

He shook his head. "No, I have business to attend," he patted my shoulder walking away. "Good luck."

I inhaled deeply and walked over to Vanessa smiling. "You ready?"

She nodded and stood. "About time," she smirked. "Where do you want me?"

"Um, back on the stool." She sat down and looked up at me.

"Now what?" I kneeled down in front of here. "Woah I think it's too soon to be proposing to me Y/n."

"Haha," I fake laughed. "Now give me a serious look." Her face instantly went straight as she looked down at the camera.

"Hmm," I hummed looking through the lens. "Put one arm behind your head and the other in the air." She got into position and nodded her head to the music playing in the background.

I snapped a few pictures then shook my head. "Lean back some." She did as I said and I moved closer.

I held her leg and she tensed. I pulled it towards me and tapped her foot. "Put your foot on your leg."

She followed my request and I nodded.

"Perfect."
