Grace Notes

Chapter 43

Lola's POV-

Spending a Saturday at the beach sounds like a total dream. Especially, when you rarely go despite living fairly close to it. I guess schedules just got busy because of school, and everything. Honestly, I was really looking forward to it, until we pulled up to the filming site. There were sixteen girls standing around the trailer wearing bathing suits and giggling amongst themselves. No, I couldn't hear them, but I could clearly see them.

"Why are they here?" I asked Valentino as we all climbed out of the van we had arrived in.

"They are going to be in the music video" he responded, though not really acting like he cared too much about the question. "Alright, Harry, go ahead into the trailer and change. Your first wardrobe is the one hung on the outside"

My shoulders slumped as my gaze followed his approach to the group of girls. As he drew nearer, they stopped talking, giving him a glance up and down. He cast them a smile and a greeting before disappearing into the trailer. As soon a the door was closed, the (what I assumed to be models) began to giggle and talk again.

"Are you okay?" Lorenzo asked me.

"Huh?" I looked up, realizing I must have zoned out for a second.

"You look bothered" he observed.

I shrugged. "Just wasn't expecting all these people here"

"Too many body parts for you?" he joked.

Although, to me, he hit the nail right on the head.

"Is that too protective of me?"

"No" he hummed.

"I feel like it is" I admitted, peering back over at the group.

"Why is that?"

"Maybe I'm jealous because they all seem so pretty, and it makes me feel less attractive"

"Or you can accept their beauty, as well as your own" he paused. "Just because you are not wearing a bikini doesn't mean that you are any less hot than them"

"Thanks" I mumbled "But it doesn't feel that way"

"Think about it" he went on. "If Harry was wearing a thick coat and baggy pants, and Valentino was shirtless, would you automatically think Valentino was hotter?"

"Ew, no"

"Exactly"

"But Valentino is also old as dirt" I pointed out.

"Okay, then what if it was me that was shirtless?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Lorenzo!" my face turned a little pinkish, surprised that he had said it so chill, but even more surprised that he had said it at all.

"What?" he smirked.

"Stop"

"Did you get too much of a vivid picture in your head?" he raised an eyebrow.

"I am not answering that" rolling my eyes, I started to walk over the boardwalk where I knew I wouldn't be in filming range, but I could hear Lorenzo chuckling behind me.

Well, as it turned out, not only were these girls going to be in the music video, they were also going to be laying all around him, feeding him, snuggling up to him. It didn't start out as much, however the more filming progressed, the more jealous I became. I didn't want other half naked girls laying all over him. I wanted to be the only one to feed him. Was that too much, or was I just overthinking?

During filming breaks, I expected my boyfriend to come spend that time with me, although instead, he would go to Valentino to plan out the next roll. Which, of course, those other girls were there, as well. Finally, he got another breather and came over to me.
