Chapter 06 - Photographic model?
When Tim left the Smile and Roger and Brian thought that the band would really end, Freddie auditioned for them to sing and he stayed in Tim's place. Freddie became the band's lead singer and pianist. And they started auditioning with bass players. Freddie started dating Mary Austin, one of the Biba store sellers. Roger, even without love, Josephine continued to date, because she could not bear to be alone, in pain to see Ryan and Jade dating. For almost a year, the band auditioned with six bass players. And when everyone thought that the band could not get a decent bass player for the band, everything changed.
In late February 1971, when Roger and Brian went to a party at the Maria Assumpta College, where Josephine studies, the boys met Chrissy Mullen, Josephine's college classmate. Brian was charmed by Chrissy and started dating her, shortly afterwards and at the party Brian and Roger also met another Josephine colleague, named Veronica Tetzlaf, who was accompanied by her boyfriend, electronic engineering student John Richard Deacon. John started talking about music with Brian and Roger and the boys learned that John is a bass player and invited him to audition for the band. Two days later he auditioned at one of Imperial College's auditoriums and was approved for his talent as a bass player as an electronics engineer because he created his own Deacy Amp amplifier and for having a quiet personality, being calm, different of Freddie, Brian and Roger who always argue, for anything. After John joined the band, he rehearsed with the boys and Freddie changed the band's name to Queen and drew the band's logo, which has to do with the individual signs of the band. The band's debut was on July 2, 1971, at the University of Surrey and John went very well at the premiere with the band. Meanwhile, Jade finished high school and her photography course and commented with her parents about the college she wanted to study. His parents did not like it, but neither were they against it. She had the full support of Marcos, who was in the senior year of Odontology, as well as Roger.
On July 13, 1971, Jade finally turned eighteen, reaching the age of majority. After her birthday, she surrendered to her boyfriend, Ryan, because before that, both had not had sex yet. Ryan, because he loved her much respected her, because she said that she would only give herself to him once he was of legal age and Ryan waited for her.
In mid-August, Jade got the scholarship to study English Language and Literature at King's College, to everyone's delight. Jade had been dating Ryan for almost two years and was very happy with him, but her boyfriend was very jealous of her, because Jade was getting more and more beautiful and was very flirtatious by boys. Sometimes she would argue with Ryan and tell her boyfriend that she did not have to be so jealous of her. Also in August, Queen was able to close a contract with Trident Studios to record the band's first album. They would start recording soon. In that time, Clare, Roger's younger sister, had lived in London since the beginning of the year to study Business Administration at the University of London and she became close friends with Jade. As for Jade, as much as she did not like Josephine, he treated the girl well, just for Roger, so he would not be upset, for Roger was his great friend. Even Jade did not know why she did not like Josephine. The fact is that Jade was annoyed to see Josephine with Roger. She still had not gotten over it, even dating Ryan. Jade also made a great friendship with Freddie. In the second semester of September, Jade began to study in college at King's College and quickly she conquered the teachers, for her intelligence and classmates, in addition, everyone praised her beauty. During the month of October, there was a competition in college, to choose the most beautiful student of the English Language and Literature course and Jade was elected and one of the jurors that was in the contest is an agent of photographic models.
"You're just beautiful, Jade, I could join the list of photographic models in the place I work," said the modeling agent.
"But I'm not skinny like Twiggy," Jade said.
- Photographic model does not have to be only skinny like Twiggy. You're medium-sized and full of curves, you're not skinny, but neither is Jade fat, you have a very handsome body - said the model agent by handing her a card with his phone number.
Jade picked up the card with the model agent's contact.
"If you're interested in taking a test, just get in touch with me," said the modeling agent. "You can take a test, a photographic book. They would certainly call you for television ads, to take pictures for youth magazines. Think about it, Jade. You would make good money from the photos. I hope you will contact me soon, with a positive response to me.
Jade held the thoughtful card. It would not cost her to take a test and make some extra money. Jade for now has only the money from the British government scholarship and an allowance she receives from her parents. She still lives with her parents. But, the young woman soon wants to have her own money and who knows later to live alone. Jade commented with Marcos and his parents about the proposal to take the pictures and they gave support to the daughter. Jade also commented with Roger.
- Wow, my angel, congratulations. - Roger said hugging her and kissing her on the cheek and smiled at her - Surely at some point someone would see its mesmerizing beauty. With all due respect, you are more and more beautiful, my friend. Her black hair and green eyes stand out, you have a girl face, an angel face and a very beautiful body.
"Thank you, Rog," Jade said, blushing at her friend, but smiling at him. "I'm thinking of taking a photo test." Could you go with me, my friend?
Roger looked at her in surprise, not understanding.
"Wait, Jade, who should accompany you on this is Ryan, after all, he's your boyfriend, is not he?" The blonde asked in utter confusion.
"Yeah, it must have been him, but I'm sure Ryan will not be with me because of his jealousy," Jade said with a sigh. "The way Ryan is, he might want to bar me from making those pictures.
Roger shook his head thoughtfully.
"My friend has always been very jealous, Jade. I thought he was already accustomed to his flaw. "Roger raised an eyebrow at Jade who looked at him in shame.
"It turns out I have not gotten used to it yet, and I do not want any guy telling me, even if it's Ryan and I love him so much, I will not let him prevent me from taking those pictures." Promise you'll come with me, if Ryan does not go with me for the photo shoot? Jade asked.
"I promise I'll go with you, Jade," Jade smiled, holding her tightly. "I'll always support you with the things you want, what you want. For, thank you from the heart, for always being by my side, also supporting me in my decisions and advising me, my friend.
"Thank you for your support, Rog," Jade said, kissing him on the cheek tenderly, and the blond smiled at her, in love, without Jade noticing. "Thank you for always being by my side too and having supported me in learning to drive, because if I depended on Ryan, not driving I would know, because according to him, only a man can drive.
"Ryan is a good boy, but he has his faults," said the blonde, scratching his head, not knowing what to say. "What matters is that I'm by your side for the photo shoot. And when you go I'll go with you.
November 1971
On Friday after Jade arrived from college she called her boyfriend, who was at work and said she needed to talk to him that night and that he would have dinner at his house. Ryan said he'd be there.
At night, after everyone had dined together, Jade called her boyfriend for them to talk to in her room, alone. As soon as Ryan entered her room, Jade kissed him on the lips and he returned.Ryan was very affectionate and loving to Jade, but he was very jealous and possessive with her. After a few kisses and hugs, Ryan laid his face on her girlfriend's shoulder and she caressed his black hair.
"My love, I need to talk to you about something important that I will do," she said looking at Ryan.
- What happend my love? It's all right? Ryan asked, looking at her.
"My love, remember when I said that I was elected the prettiest student of the English Language and Literature course at the college and that a modeling agent left her contact with me so I could contact him if I wanted to take a photographic test , a photo book?
"I remember that very well, Jade," Ryan said rather irritably. "But why are you talking to me now?" Did you change your mind? Will you take this photographic test?
"Yes, I'll take that photographic test," Jade said, looking at Ryan seriously with her arms crossed. "Ryan, my love, I love you very much and will always be by your side, but you must trust me and stop with so much jealousy and possession Well, I'm your girlfriend, but I'm not your possession, I'm not your property, okay? Therefore, I will do the photo test, even against your will, even you getting angry with me.
"I can not believe you'll do those Jade pictures," Ryan said irritably, looking at her. "You said to yourself, many times that you want to pursue the career of a professional writer and photographer, you even took a photography course and now you want to be a photographic model ? I do not understand anything else.
"Ryan, I'm sure I want to be a successful writer and still work with photography," Jade said, touching her boyfriend's face. "But while I can not work as a photographer and can not be a successful writer, money with the photo template photos. It's a fun and serious job, I'm not going to pose naked, none of this my love. Please, Ryan, support me in my decision.
"I'm not going to support you, Jade," Ryan said very jealously. "I'm against you taking these pictures. Totally against.
"It turns out I'll take the pictures, whether you like it or not," Jade said irritably, looking at her boyfriend.
"Great, you chose it like that," Ryan said irritably as he left Jade's room, hurrying down the stairs and out of the brunette's house.
Jade sighed defeated and saw through the window of his room Ryan entering his car and jumped, singing tire.
Marcos entered her sister's room, already imagining that she had argued with Ryan once more. Marcos sat on his sister's bed and she hugged him.
"Ryan does not want me to take the pictures, but I'll do Marcos, until Rog is supporting me and my boyfriend is not," Jade said annoyed.
Marcos remained hugged his sister, worried about her relationship with Ryan, who lately is very jealous.
