Ashton:

A week later. ..

Today was the last day before I head back home. Finally, I can get back to my life and fix things with her before it's too late to. Even though she blocked me on social media and continues to ignore my calls, I fucking adore her to bits and I'll fight to get her back. Fuck, I'd do anything. The thought of us separated makes me so damn frustrated and angry, and the thought of her moving on with another guy makes my blood boil. She's mine and only mine.

Sadly, this morning was the private shoot I was preparing for. It paid extra so I was determined to do my best. I didn't drink or smoke much last night, I went to bed early and I actually ate three meals yesterday which also surprised me.

After setting up the lighting and cameras, I was all set and awaiting the model for this shoot, the one that I chose. Olivia.

The fact that she was ten minutes late made me annoyed. I wanted to do this on time so I could finish at a fucking reasonable time and get my ass on that plane home. The longer she takes the longer it takes for me to leave. So bloody frustrating.

Just as I wanna take a ciggie out of my jeans pocket, she decides to walk in.

"Hey, good morning, I'm so sorry for the delay. They started late on my hair and makeup" she explains, making her way towards me in her robe.

"No problem, let's begin. Where's Shan?" I ask, looking around for that short lady. Where is she?

On cue she walks in, huge smile on her face as she sees me all good to go.

"Yes! Love this! It's going to be a good shoot. We'll have a good time. Olivia, let's start dear" she exclaims, coming to stand by the laptops.

Olivia shoots me a glance before slipping out of her robe and getting on the bed, only a thin white sheet to cover up very little of her body.

"You didn't tell me it would be this intimate" I whisper to Shan who was on her phone.

"Oh, fiddlesticks! Don't worry, Olivia's done this a few times before and she's a natural. Now don't get distracted by her beautiful body, Ashton. You have a big job to do today."

With that being said I sighed and rolled my eyes at her comment, grabbing my camera and getting to work. It was true, Olivia did know her angles and she absolutely killed every single shot. The lighting was good, the way her skin glowed against the white beddings was mesmerizing. I captured real beauty today, and I hope I fucking get recognised for it. I'm not sure how many guys would be able to take her shots without wanting to bang her and that body. I out the other hand, did my damn job without being sidetracked with the fact that she was practically naked.

There wasn't much editing to do, she was indeed picture perfect. Just a few touches added to the background and around her. She didn't need anything tuned or fixed. I went over the shots and felt good about them and myself. Today I proved that I didn't come to play. At all.

"Hey! What's uhh--- holy fuck, who is that?" A drooling James appears, jaw on the ground.

"Keep it in your fucking pants mate" I smirk at him as he gawks at the shots I took. Olivia appears in her robe again to go over the pictures with me. She's easy to work with and I'm glad this shit was over.

"You're talented, that's for sure. I love how this turned out" she smiles, pointing at a closeup of her. I could tell she felt good in her own skin, able to expose herself without feeling uncomfortable.

"And you're definitely a natural. Do you always do these intimate sessions?" I ask curiously. James on the other hand was wide-eyed and mute, just staring at her from top to bottom.

"Umm..." she blushes, chuckling lightly. "Yeah, I kinda prefer to model with little to nothing on. It's...just a preference" she says, keeping eye contact with me long enough for James to kick my foot under the table.

I cleared my throat and looked away, only to have her still fucking staring at me.

"James. I'm Ash's partner" James finally manages to introduce himself. I laugh to myself. He's struggling to keep it cool right now.

"Olivia" the beauty beside me replies, reaching out to shake James' hand. He immediately takes her hand, not sparing another second. I laugh internally, this was fucking hilarious.

I hailed a cab and went straight to the airport. I had already planned out what I would do once I got home. First things first I would give that bitch-of-a- landlord his fucking money, go find my Kaia and fix things then beat Axel's bony ass. I laid back into the seat and shut my eyes for a bit, thinking of hair like the sunlight and very, very fucking thunderstorm eyes.

Woooo! Alright now we're on a roll. Ashy's goin back home. NOW the drama can commence 😂 cue the dramatics please! 🚦🚧
