(James' POV)



Our manager came up with a 'great' idea to hire a new photographer. I didn't see anything wrong with the old one, but Lars started babbling about how we needed new captions, needed to get more exposure and I agreed to all of this, just to shut him up.

We were looking for new ways, even thought about making our first video. The song we picked was One, from our new unreleased album that was due at the end of August. We'd never done a video before and we wanted it to look different from all the other videos on MTV. But that was just on our to do list.

I couldn't believe we got an appointment with Timothy White. Then Lars got another idea, to ask him if he could do gig shots, I highly doubted he would agree, in fact I doubted he would agree to do anything. We just weren't famous enough for his name, but to my surprise he was glad to see us and although he was booked, he offer us to work with his partner.

I looked at my bandmates. Jason had a smile on his face, knowing this decision was not up to him. Kirk... well, Kirk was blushing. From the moment he saw the young girl who was Tim's daughter and his partner, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She darted a few looks his way too, but tried to act all professional. Hehehehe...

Tim rose from his chair.

“I know that Meg is a new and young photographer, but she's every bit as good as I am, trust me. We'll step out, so you guys can talk about it, but the decision has to be made in the next two days, I'm leaving for New York this week and I have to cosign the contract.”




(Meg's POV)



We closed the door behind us, leaving the guys to talk, and stepped out into the back yard. I sat down on the bench and turned to my father.

“You think they're a bit disappointed that it's not you taking the job?”

He looked at me with a smile. “If they are, then it's their loss, but you have to show them that you're not just a girl from the street. Do what it takes to get this job, if they want to try first and see if they like your work, that's fine. The first shot is the hardest one to get. They're young, and not spoiled with fame yet, so are you, I think it's a perfect match. You know when I just started working, it took a long time to get my own clients, I had to do everything...”

I tried to listen to my father, but my mind trailed away. You have no idea how much I wanted this job! From the moment I saw them...well, one of them. He had the most beautiful smile, and he was so shy. It was so hard to act all professional instead of just looking into his amazing dark eyes... oh... he's so cute! I just wanted to... well, I wanted to do a lot with him... um... to him... Stop thinking about it!

If they'd sign the contract, I'd see him all the time and I could... oh.. no... I can't... that would be so... unprofessional of me. He probably had a girlfriend, not probably, definitely! Shit! What was wrong with me? Here I was trying to get the first contract in my life to start my career and I was thinking of how much I liked that guitar player! Snap out of it!




(James' POV)



As soon as the door behind them closed, Lars turned to me.

“So?” He had a bit of a sour expression on, since he didn't get The Tim White, just his partner. I looked at Kirk and met his begging puppy eyes. Yes, Kirk, I get it, you like her and want us to hire her.

“Well, it's fine with me. How about you?” I took Meg's portfolio book in my hands and started flipping through the pictures. Giving Lars a chance to start his blabbering.

“Fock, I don't know... she's working under his name, and that means a lot... but is she as good as he said? You know how some parents think their kids are focking geniuses, is he one of those fathers? Plus she's so young...”

“Don't see anything wrong with the young part...” I continued to turn pages, listening to Lars and sliding back into my chair. He will go on and on, I just have to block his mumbling out and say my word after he's fucking done.

A picture of a dirt bike racer caught my eye. It was taken in action, and it was great. Dirt was flying from the back tire, the guy's head was turned back, looking at his competitors. There was no blurred movement, nothing in that picture was missing and nothing was trailing my attention from the main figure. It was a perfect still moment. Young or not, she was good! I looked at the name under the picture. 'Alex winning the race. March 17, 1988' No last name, like on other pics, just Alex... must be her boyfriend, sorry Kirk, it looks like she's taken.

I rested the portfolio book on my stomach and stretched my legs, tuning to the next page. I raised my eyes to look at Lars, he was still blabbering.

“...maybe it's a good idea to get a young photographer, without a focking ego, easier to work with...”

Go Lars, you'll talk yourself into it. I held myself back from rolling my eyes and returned my gaze back to the open page. Oh... Fuck! My heart skipped and started to beat faster when I saw the picture in front of me. Wow! It was a black and white close up photo of a beautiful girl with long wavy dark hair and amazing light eyes offset by long eyelashes.

She was laying on the beach, on her stomach, and I could see little grains of sand that were stuck to her skin. Her face was resting on her forearms in front of her, lips slightly open in a playful smile, her hair was messed up with the wind, and her eyes were looking right at me. I felt her gaze reaching all the way to my soul and pulling me in. Fuck...

The way I was holding the book made it look like that girl had her arms crossed on my stomach and I felt warm shivers dancing through me. Shit... I wish... that would be the best view ever, I breathed in, feeling my blood warming up at that thought. I would move those unruly wavy strands of hair that were falling into her face, then run my fingers on her cheek, she would laugh and slide her hands to my chest and I would pull her closer to kiss those full and oh-so-desirable lips...

Completely hypnotized, I reached to her but my fingers touched the cold plastic cover, snapping my mind out of my day dream. I wish I could meet a girl like that... no, I wish I could meet her. I wonder who she is... probably some model. There was no name under the picture and I looked on opposite page, reading the comment with an arrow pointing to the picture.

'Alex. Europe trip. August 3, 1987.' Hey! That picture was taken on my twenty-fourth birthday, last year. Wait... Alex? I turned to the previous page with the dirt bike racer. 'Alex winning the race. March 17, 1988' That's her?! She can ride and she's so hot! Fuck! She's my dream girl. I wonder if I can steal this picture...

I looked up to see if anyone was watching me and met three pairs of eyes staring at me with question. I didn't notice that the room had gotten quiet, Lars was done talking and everyone was waiting on my word. I cleared my throat.

“Bring up the contract, she's hired.” My voice still sounded a bit raspy. Shit, I got turned on by my day dream. I glimpsed down, making sure my body didn't betray me further, and sat up on the chair, covering my slight bulge with the portfolio book. Shit!

“Okay then, I'll call them back, you agree that we're asking her to do some show pictures before signing the contract?” Lars got up and walked to the door.

“Yeah.” My voice went back to normal.

Lars opened the door. “We made up our minds.”

Tim and Meg walked back in and I notice Kirk lowering his head with a shy smile. At least his dream girl was real and right here in the room. Maybe I could ask her who Alex was? No... that would be too obvious... fuck! I want to know who she is!

“We want to ask you to work with us on the gig, take some show pictures and have a photo shoot. If you're okay with that, then it's a done deal. But you only have one motion picture in your book, it would be great to see some more.” Lars returned to his seat.

Tim looked at his daughter. “Reasonable request, if a client wants to see more of your work, I have no problem with that. Remember those pictures from the carnival in Venice?”

“I'd love to see those!” Kirk finally managed to say something. He obviously wanted to spend more time here. I don't blame him.

“I do... they're at home, but I could ask my friend to bring them here. It wouldn't take long, we live just three blocks from here.”

Meg dialed the number and lowered her eyes with a smile. “It's me! You know I love you, right?... Yes, you guessed it, I need a favor... oh, they're already there... that time is it?... Really? I guess I lost track of time… no, it's okay, you can't leave them all alone... never mind... yeah... I will be home in a while... love you too, and Alex, thank you for getting it all ready by yourself.”

Alex?! Did she just say that name? Would it be the same Alex who's picture I drooled over? Oh... she's her friend? And she is just a three blocks away from me? Oh God... I want to meet her... Think fast! I stood up.

“If it's that close, maybe we can just go there, I mean if you don't mind.” Did I sound a bit too eager?

Meg looked at her father as if she was asking for permission, he nodded and she turned back to us.“I don't mind, but I have to tell you, my house is full of people right now... that's why Alex couldn't leave... it's my birthday today and...”

“Happy birthday!” Lars, Kirk and Jason voices came in one.

“Happy birthday! I didn't know... we don't want to intrude on your party... I guess we can meet tomorrow...” Fuck! That meant I couldn't meet Alex, not today, not tomorrow. God knows when, if ever... Shit! I looked at Kirk, he had the same expression on his face. Yeah, I know, you want to go to her party as much as I do.

“Thanks guys! I think it would be great if you came to my party, that will give us a chance to get to know each other better, before you make your final decision.” She glanced at her father. “And tomorrow we can meet here with a contract, unless you change your minds.”

“I think we just invited ourselves to a birthday. Are you sure you're okay with that?” Lars laughed.

“I'm absolutely fine with that, besides we always have some of our friends bring people with them that we don't know, this would be first time I'll bring someone new.” She smiled. “We can walk there and your car will be safe here, there's probably no space left to park anywhere by our house.”

I stood up, returning the portfolio book to the table.”We owe you a present.”

“Well, a long time contract will do.” She laughed.”I'm just kidding!”

(Meg's POV)




“Bye Dad, thank you for the birthday present!” I kissed my father on the cheek and opened the door, waiting for guys to say their goodbyes to my father.

“It's up the hill from here, but at least the way back will be easier.” I smiled and started walking to my house, with my hopefully future employers following me closely. Should I tell them about the party? I guess I need to warn them about some of our friends. Oh... God! I just hope I'm not making a mistake. Lars interrupted my thoughts, catching up with me.

“You sure we're not a bother, I mean, it can wait...” He gave me a smile.

Are you reading my thoughts? I can't back out now, well, my motto is 'everything that happens is for the best' let's live up to it.

“It fine, really. Plus, it's not everyday I can bring four new guys to the party.” I smiled back. “We'll sneak in and I'll show you my Venice pictures first, then we can join the party and relax.”

“Great plan. Hey Meg, how come your father didn't come?”

“My parents never come to my birthday parties after they ruined my seventeenth birthday screaming at each other. They fought on every birthday before that, but that one was the worst one, so I set some rules after I moved out.”

“Sound very familiar.” Kirk laughed.

Oh God, he is so cute and shy and... Oh fuck, I forgot about Crazy Dianne! If she sinks her claws in him...

“I think I'll have to warn you about some of my friend... so you're prepared.” I turned my head back.

“We have to warn you too.” Jason laughed. “We drink... a lot.”

“Really? Oh.. no! I thought you were all saints, no drinking, no swearing, no drugs... no... anything else.” I bit my lip, holding back my smile. Shit! Me and my damn tongue, just couldn't help but smart off.

“Nah, we do all that, especially the anything else part.” Lars smirked at me.”We have over ten focking years of hard partying under our belts.”

“No worries then. Just a bit of info. First on the warn list is Alex's brother, Nick. Let's just say he's never invited, but always manages to show up. He is her evil twin, literally, just looking for people who he can use. Don't let him borrow money from you. Second is Dianne, she gets a bit... well... loose...”

“I don't mind loose women!” Lars laughed.”Is she pretty?”

“She's okay, if you like bitchy blondes... Third is a very sweet guy, he is on the list just because he's gay. I'd rather tell you that now, so you don't act all... well, some people are just mean to him. He is really a good guy, his name is Tom.”

“As long as he not fucking flirting with me, I'm fine with that.” Jason smirked.

We reached my house and I noticed multiple cars, but no one was outside. Great! I stopped at the side garage door.

“Anyone else we need to know about?” Lars stood right behind me.

“Not really, maybe just Alex.. she's shy and quiet, despite of her looks.” I opened the door into the garage and waved boys inside. “This is her domain, please don't touch anything or she'll kill me. There's stairs from here going to the second floor, so we can get to my office unnoticed. Let me check if the coast is clear.”


(James' POV)

Her domain? Let's see it. Big three car garage was divided in half with a screen. I looked around and immediately recognized the dirt bike from the picture standing side by side with a Harley Softtail. Fucking awesome ride! She has great taste. I think I'm drooling again.

Lars stepped behind the screen and giggled. “Oh no! We need to focking pull James from here! Quickly before he sees it!”

I walked to him and... Oh.. my... I saw the jewel of this garage. Okay... now I am drooling.

“Wow! 57 Chevy Bel Air... convertible! Fuck!” I walked to the car and ran my hand along the side. The black and white paint was peeling on some parts, the chrome parts had lost their shine and faded, but you could still see the beauty that it had in it's glory days.

”You mean you like this rust bucket? Alex loves this dinosaur, she call's it 'Old Betsy,' it's her father's car, she brought it here from her grandparents house and she's determined to make it run.” Meg walked up to us with a laugh.

“James is like a kid in a focking candy store!” Lars stepped closer to the wall, looking at the posters. “I don't think I agree with all of the music choices...”

I made myself look away from the car. Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, not bad. Wait, what the fuck is that?

“Poison? You're fucking kidding me, right?”

“That is focking hilarious! At least it's separate from the other posters, on it's own focking wall.”

“And there is a reason for that. Come on guys, follow me.” Meg turned and started walking upstairs.
