[color=fdc68a]”I’ll get it!”[/color] She shouted, to no-one in particular as she jumped over the coffee table in haste to get to her ringing phone that was left close by the front door. Rummaging through her purse, which she had tossed carelessly as she had entered, Eva slid her finger across the “pickup” button and pressed the device to her ear, pressing down a finger against her other ear to be able to hear the voice better. [i]”Evalyn? Oh thank god I caught you!”[/i] Confused, Eva checked the caller-ID, only to find it was her agent. It was confusing, it was Eva’s day off, why was her agent calling her now? And sounding so frantic at that. Eva cleared her throat, trying to hide her panting breath as she spoke into the mic. [color=fdc68a]”Wendy? What do you want? Why do you sound so--”[/color] [i]”No time!”[/i] Eva was cut off, and before she could pout or say anything else, Wendy continued. [i]”I got a call from my client. One of my other girls haven’t showed up, and it’s causing a lot of problems for them. They need to get the photoshoot done[/i] today [i]so I really really need you to do this favour for me. Pretty please?”[/i] [color=fdc68a]”What? Okay- sure, give me the address and I’ll try to be there in an hour. Do I need to prepare or anything?”[/color] [i]”Oooh bless you darling! I’ll make it up to you, I promise! No need to prep, love, just make sure you get there soon. I’ll text you the address.”[/i] And without any other words, Wendy hung up. Well… that threw a wrench in their plans… Eva walked back into the living room, looking down at her phone as she thought. [i]’What if I take Jay with me? That way I can keep my eye on him and if he needs any help, I’ll be right there.’[/i] She mused. [color=fdc68a]”How would you like to attend a photoshoot?”[/color] Eva offered, grinning at him. Jay looked at the heart wrenching, tearful and romantic goodbye on screen. He wiped a tear in his eye and blew his nose in a melodramatic way. They had been watching this anime for a good part of the afternoon and it already captured him into it. However it is important to note that this man has absolutely no standards in terms of what he would emotionally connect with. And so, with that in mind, he continued to sniffle as the monotone voices of “Akiyama Rika” and “Yamamoto Inu” spoke in hushed whispers to each other under the moonlight. The fact that Eva had left his side was never realised and so when her voice interrupted the tearful scene, he jumped. When the words sunk in however, his eyebrow was raised. [color=wheat]”Really? Well, I haven’t watched you work before so why not?”[/color] He put on a wolfish grin and stood fully. He picked Eva up bridal-style and walked out of the apartment towards her car. Not even realising what he was doing nor the consequences of doing so, he ignored her pleas. [color=fdc68a]”What- Put me down!”[/color] Eva cried, startled as the tiny teen was picked up so suddenly. Today was certainly an odd one: first sitting on his lap, then she’s hit on by [s]Jay[/s] Jay’s alter-ego the next she was being [i]carried[/i] by him? Eva reminded herself to talk about boundaries with Jay the next time she wasn’t at risk of being held by him. Preferably alone, god knows what Connor would do if he knew about Jay’s alter-ego’s… [i]interest[/i] in her. Reaching the car, Eva dived out of Jay’s grip to get inside her car before someone else saw her and questions were asked. Eva waited for Jay to enter inside and wear his seat-belt before she began driving off - the destination fresh in her mind. Ocean Beach. [color=fdc68a]”Jay,”[/color] Eva began, [color=fdc68a]”if anything happens during the shoot, if [i]he[/i] tries to come back, you’ll let me know right? You’re more important to me than the shoot, so if you need me, [i]please[/i] promise you’ll tell me?”[/color] She looked at him from the corner of her eye, concerned. Eva wanted him to know that it was absolutely okay for him to talk to her, no matter how busy she was. Jay was like her brother, no shoot in the world could be more important than him. Jejomar just scratched the back of his head and smiled at his concerned sister. “[color=wheat]Don’t worry about it sis, if the bastard comes up, I’ll tell you.[/color]” Soon enough, they arrived at their destination, the location of her photoshoot. They got out the car and walked towards the main (director?) at the site. The middle aged man was wearing clothes much too tight for a man his age but had this exuberant aura around him. “[b]Aha! You're the replacement couple for the shoot eh? You can change in the tent behind me but be quick. No screwing around, if you know what I mean.[/b]” The man wiggled his eyebrows before quickly shoving them into the tent. [color=fdc68a]”Wait, couple?”[/color] Eyes widened, Eva stared dumbfoundedly at the man who was most likely the boss of the shoot. She looked at Jay from the corner of her eye, mouth wide open in surprise but before she could complain, they were forced into the tent to change into their new clothing. [color=fdc68a]”Jay, I’m so sorry for this-- I didn’t know that Wendy was planning this-- she never even told me about bringing another guy! I would’ve brought Connor if I had known, agh, this is so awkward!”[/color] The teen cried beside him, panicked. She definitely didn’t want to scare the poor guy away from his very first visit to a shoot, but she didn’t intend for him to [i]be a part of it[/i]. And it was even worse when she realised what type of shoot this was. A couple’s swimming shoot. Jay was dumbfounded. Why was she so bothered about this? Was she worried she wasn't going to do well with her? That he was going to do well in the shoot and be awkward about it? That he was going to be worse than if Connor did it? Setting his jaw straight, he put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. “[color=wheat]Don’t worry sis. I got this.[/color]” He flashed her a grin and let go of her, turning around and taking his shirt off. As it was a tight shirt, he was taking it off slowly. And to a flustered Eva, it would be the equivalent of a standing lap dance. Flinging it to the side, he turned with rippled muscles almost glistening in the light, head tilted to the side. [color=fdc68a][i]’Oh gods have mercy on my soul.’[/i][/color] Eva watched - yes, watched - as Jay stripped from his shirt and gave the teen a healthy dose of [i]eye candy[/i]. She was sure her face was completely red, and she was most possibly sweating from the nerves. Eva let out a [i]meep[/i] before turning around to give Jay some privacy. “[color=wheat]Care to join me?[/color]” He said with a confused and oblivious look, slowly sliding his belt from his pant with muscly arms. He was built like a swimmer from the amount LARPing he does, swinging a sword like a champ. Martial Arts also helped. His arms were built from carrying the metal swords but his chest was carved like a Greek sculpture from the metal armour you were required to wear. It was undoubtedly the first time Eva had seen her pseudo-brother show this much flesh and the first time she had seen evidence of him being athletic. Her lazy, sleep-loving brother with abs? Unbelievable. Unfathomable. Letting Jay strip tease behind her, Eva slipped off the light brown cardigan she had been wearing that morning, followed by her scarf. [i][color=fdc68a]’Please don’t hate me for this, Connor’[/color][/i] The girl thought, biting her lips nervously as she picked out the first bikini that was folded on the small table in front of her. There was only three to choose from, so Eva guessed that today was going to be a short - albeit awkward - shoot. She heard footsteps outside the tent, and she peered over her shoulder to see a lady peeking inside, grinning wickedly. [b]”Good, you two weren’t doing anything inappropriate.”[/b] The lady said, [b]”well, once you two are done, I’ll need to get on your hair and make-up, so wear the robes that are hung there--”[/b] Eva looked at where the stranger pointed at, taking note of the two white robes hanging by the entrance of the tent, [b]”and I’ll meet the two of you outside. Toodles~”[/b] and as quickly she had arrived, she was gone. After that, changing into the swimwear was uneventful although a certain someone had to do some serious manoeuvres to fit into theirs. They both grabbed their robes, both as red as a beet in seeing the other in very… let’s say provocative swimwear. They stepped out, got their makeup and hair done and eventually got to the set. The director immediately called them out, specifically Jay. “[b]Oi! You're wearing the wrong swimwear! Annie, go fetch the European swimwear. You were supposed to swap them out![/b]” Annie, the stranger from before, squeaked and ran to one of the various vans on set. Sighing, Jay patted Eva on the shoulder and headed back to the tent. The assistant came back and out the swimwear on the rack just as he got into the tent. Apologising for the delay, she exited out of the tent. “[color=wheat]Oh, you’ve got to be shitting my arse cheeks off.[/color]” And behold, the [url=https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR2whZdzowkC5uU9hptIqw2HwosYZkjNk4iqKeYoTCWpqFeqCY-B5mkv_ob]swimwear[/url]. He groaned inwardly and prepared for the serious manoeuvres. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful and came out of the tent feeling very, [i]very[/i] uncomfortable. He shuffled next to Eva with a pained look in his eyes. “[b]Okay, into your positions please and take off the robes.[/b]” The bulge was real. Eva avoided his pained look, looking elsewhere entirely awkwardly. It was hard enough that her brother was there, pretty much naked while they had to do a couple’s shoot together. Despite being siblings. Well, they weren’t actual siblings, but their relationship was close enough to be classed as such. Honorary siblings, yeah! Eva slipped off her robe, revealing her bikini before she stood there, assessing the set carefully. She was now in model mode, there was nothing else she could do. The photographer helped the two awkward friends to the appropriate poses, snapping pictures each time he was satisfied with the poses the two were giving. Some were taken with the two standing in the water, which was unfortunate for Jay since it stuck [i]even more[/i], leaning against each other, while others were with the two on the golden sand. The photoshoot, while awkward, was somewhat fun too. Eva cracked a few jokes, trying to lighten the mood whenever possible. Jay just smiled with her and eventually relaxed into the job. Eventually, the couples aspect of the shoot was complete, and the two were separated for their own individual mini-shoots. Eva was changed out of her bikini into another one, with changed make-up and hair to match and she was posed on the water with the slowly setting sun as their natural backdrop. With Eva having enough experience with photoshoots, her part of the mini-shoot was complete within fifteen minutes, and she was free to change back into her normal clothes while Jay had his turn. Having finished the couple’s shoots, the assistant told Jay that he had to wait for Eva to finish up her mini-shoots. After she finished, he cracked a smile at her and gave a high five, the fact that they were almost both naked lost on them completely. He was told to change from his swimwear to another, a more modest speedo than the previous one. He posed for the camera and got a few great photos while the director was seen rubbing his chin in thought. After his final photo, the man stopped the shoot. “[b]Hold it! Jay, isn't it? I believe it's your first time in the set. Well, as your first director, I want you to choose your own attire. You have fifteen minutes, I wanna see what you can do kid.[/b]” And with that, the Filipino had his first improv shoot. Running to the tent, he picked out whatever clothes he could but kept a shirt out of the set. During the shoot, he learned that he had serious muscles. And apparently that was attractive, if the apprentice was an example. Wearing his signature fedora, the mini-shoots went for another fifteen minutes before the Director was satisfied. Before the pair of them left, the Director stopped them. “[b]That was a good shoot, the both of you. I’ll be sending you the photos in four week’s time before they get to published. [/b]” They left in Eva’s car and drove home, smiling at the fun they had and the memories they shared. Until Jay had a realisation. “[color=wheat]My shirt![/color]”
