Chapter 3 Photoshoot

I change my outfit into a pink sweater, a yellow ruffled mini-skirt, pink sneakers, and a green G-Shock watch that the team has prepared for me. The hairdresser put my hair into two fish braids, and the makeup artist gives me a natural makeup with popping pink color on my cheek, lips, and eyes.

This brand is targeting teenagers as their market, with colorful as their trademark.

I entered the photo studio and found Seb already waiting for the photoshoot to be started, he is currently chatting with some girls who were checking him out every here and there. He is in a sweater with the same color as mine, and soft-green denim pants.

I approaching them and give him a side hug, he leans on my touch immediately and kiss my head. Some of the girls roll their eyes, clearly annoyed by my arrival. I'm possessive as hell toward my handsome boy- I mean best friend.

"There are my favorite model duo! Good morning lovelies, today I will direct the photoshoot myself." Today Lucien wears an indigo jacket suit and pants with a white tee inside, he had put on rainbow eye-shadows and indigo lip color. Lucien is a very handsome Caucasian, and his weird makeup can't change that.

Lucien walks toward us and take my hand to kiss my knuckles and winks, I felt Seb's body stiffened beside me. When Lucien turns around to direct the photographer and the crews to set the studio, I slip my hand to his. "I'm yours," I whispers and he looks at me, smiling.

"Okay, the concept is best friends, which you two already are, so this photoshoot won't be difficult. Just show us how you usually treat each other, and we will be golden." He sits at the director's chair and when the artificial lamps turned on, we started to pose.

One hour later, we already sit together to choose few of the most presentable pictures to be sent to magazines. Lucien chooses three, the first is where Seb is giving me a piggyback. The second is where I sat on Seb's shoulder, my legs dangling in either side of his chest, he looks up and I look down at him, his hands holding my ankles and my hands on his head. The third is where we sit on the ground, Seb sat behind me, his legs are on either side of mine as we read a book together.

"My God, you both are the best models I've ever working with. Skilled, professional, gorgeous, and that chemistry ... GOLDEN! I love you." Lucien faked a cry. "Let's do one more shoot, both of you with me as the designer, three of us have to look familiar toward each other."

We did it in one shoot, and the photoshoot today wrapped.

"Can we change now?" I asked.

"Actually guys, do me a favor ... Pick one picture of you together, and another one alone, the one that not picked to be in magazines, then post them to your Instagram page," Lucien said and we did just that, he has a great way to approach his customers this way, makes the selling of new arrivals always sky-rocketing.

When we are about to change, he asked where are our next stop, I said we will go to the campus and then the Diagonal office, he promise d to doubling the payment if we wear the clothes to the next two places, which of course we agreed. We got the double payment and the props too, I love the watch and sneakers.

We eat the sandwiches inside the car for lunch, I always pack three, two for Seb and one for me, he always eats double or triple from my regular portion. We stopped at a nearby corner shop to buy some bottled water, juice, coffee, and milk, also to restocking bread and pasta at home.

Seb has a class today. The lecturer is Mr. Solomon, a nice old man that always let me crashing his class to be with Seb. He said I remind him of his grand daughter. Seb's classmates don't mind too, especially the boys.

Before the class started, we got so many requests from our fella students and teacher for a picture together. Even sometimes it feels annoying, we have to stay friendly to maintain our public image.

In an hour, #calendula and #CassieandSebbyxcalendula become trending on Twitter, a reporter called for an interview meeting about being Calendula's brand ambassador, it's scheduled next week and Lucien will be present too.

💙Sebastian's POV💙

Cassie sits beside me, she plops her head on the table and falling asleep as soon as the class started. My mind float to the event earlier, she said that she is mine, our first real kiss and how it was so beautiful. I love her, and soon, I will ask her to be my girlfriend.

She wasn't awake, even when the class was over, I packed my notebook and pen in her tote bag and sling it to my shoulder, then scoop her and carry her out of the classroom. Robert, one of our friends snap a picture of us and I ask him to send it to me, as I want to post it on my Instagram page, later.

I place her carefully on the front seat and buckle her seatbelt. She always a heavy sleeper, she won't wake up when I carry her this way. I kiss her head and entering the driver's seat, to the Diagonal now.

It was 3.12 pm when I parked, I gulp down the juice from it's bottle, and snacking on mixed nuts we bought earlier while waiting for the baby to wake up. If she doesn't wake up by 3.25, I'll wake her up, her meeting is at 3.30.

I posted the picture Robert has send to me.

| This girl was hospitalized for two days and just checked out yesterday afternoon. She is still recovering but pushes herself to works for a full day, poor baby gets exhausted and falls asleep in the class. PS: she is a heavy sleeper, she won't wake up anytime soon even I move her this way. Cute ❤

Delilah was our childhood friend who always openly into me. She is gorgeous, blonde with blue eyes, tall and sexy, but a monster inside. She often bullied my Cassie back then, Cassie was always so naive, forgive and befriended Deli again, the cycle was: bully, caught, apology, friend again, repeat. Deli is a professional model now.

I check the time, 3.27 pm and look at Cassie who was just opened her eyes, yawning, and then stretch her arms.
