Anxious [h.s]

8.

Today is a good day, well the day hasn't even started yet but I know it will be a good day. I put on my favorite white tank top, my black mini skirt which makes a cute figure and my leather jacket which I thrifted once for 13 dollars. I put half my hair up with a hairclip and let the rest of my curls hang lose over my shoulders, before pulling out a few hair strands in the front to make it look a little bit messy.
I then put on my usual makeup by using a small amount of concealer, mascara and a little bit of blush and bronzer. To highlight everything I put my favorite highlighter on my nose, cheekbones and the inside of my eyes, a neutral lipgloss gives it the finishing touch. I look at myself in the mirror and think of how I'm gonna be the main character today, this may sound arrogant but in this outfit it is impossible not to feel gorgeous. Harry wants confidence? He gets it.

With my usual coffe in my hand I enter the studio which Andrew gave us the address to. I walk towards the elevator and press the button to open, a few seconds later the doors open and I step inside. I turn around and see Rudy rushing towards the elevator to get in as well, so I hold the doors with my foot open for him.
He is out of breath when he leans against the elevator wall and closes his eyes.
"-thank you"
He breaths heavily.
"wouldn't like being yelled at by Andrew and Harry."
He says before opening his eyes and scanning me from head to toe.

"yeah but today's just Harry here, he told Andrew he could handle everything by himself " I sigh and watch his face expression.

Rudy doesn't seem like he listened to my words because he furrows his eyes at me.
"you look different today."
He just says.

"well thanks"
I chuckle lightly.

"no I don't know if it is better than usual, I just know it's different."
He grins and I slap him against his shoulder.
"just kidding, you look beautiful today. "

I give him a smile before the elevator doors in front of us open, let the game begin.

I walk into the studio with a smirk plastered over my face. As I walk by I imagine a few people looking after me, but I just imagine it to boost my ego.
A whole camera set is build up and a few people are fixing something on the electric and lightening. Then a man catches my attention, he's standing behind the main camera I assume, and makes some test photos.
I guess this is the photographer.

I walk towards him, greeting on my way to him a few people, before I start talking.

"this shit looks expensive."
I look around all the cameras and watch him still testing something.

"this shit is my collection."
He talks with no interest in his tone and then turns around to look at me.
I'm met with two brown eyes, the man in front of me has a beard and brown short hair.
A small smile appears on his lips as soon as he sees me.
"let me guess you know nothing about my job, right?" he chuckles.

"not really, thats why I came here. You could explain me some of your things though. " I shrug with my shoulders and smile.

"are you trying to flirt with me?"
He lightly chuckles.

"no, but if you see it as flirting we can for sure do that."
I see him scanning my face, he looks at me for a while without responding to my comment, till he finally speaks again.

"you know, normally I don't do things like that-" for a short moment he cuts the eye contact between us and turns around to grab a small camera.

"things like what?"
I brush a few hair strands out of my face and watch him with a confused gaze.

"asking you to take some pictures, you have a very good face to work with, and anyways I need to take some test photos. "
His voice sounds deep but comforting.

"oh yes, I'd love to try that!"
I almost jump of excitement, when I was a child I always wanted to do modeling but never actually did it. Most of the children want to be a model, actor or singer, this is a dream of every child.
"I'm Marina by the way."

The mans eyes shoot towards me, his constant smile disappears. He looks like he just saw a ghost.
"you play the role Florence?"
He sternly asks.

I nod at him, not knowing what I said wrong to change his mood like that.

He awkwardly leads me to a marked point on the floor and goes then backwards behind his camera.

"I'm not Bella Hadid , but I hope I can still make it. " I try to bring his smile back, and am happy to see it worked when i see him smile at my comment.

"you don't have to do anything, you look gorgeous in every ankle."

I thank him and then watch him finishing some technical stuff on the camera before turning his attention to me again.

"I'm Liam Payne."
he suddenly says without looking at me.

"nice to meet you, Liam."
He seems really nice. We don't know each other but there is a good vibe between the two of us.

"okay Marina, look straight into the camera." he demands and I do as he says.

I look straight into the camera and notice him taking a few pictures, then I turn my head in a few directions and give him some cute smiles which he also takes a photo of.

He looks up with a content grin onto his face and clicks through some of the photos he just took.
"you ever thought about modeling? These are gorgeous."
He proudly says and shakes his head in disbelieve.
Before I can answer Liam talks again.
"I want to try something with you. "

I stand back straight onto the marked point and wait for his next move.

"think of a person that makes you feel a strong emotion, I don't care which emotion. I think this would look pretty good."

I nod at his idea and bring myself back in position. Who should I think of? Nora for making me miss some of the arctic monkeys concert? My lovely mother? Zayn?
Suddenly the elevator doors in the back of the studio open and Harry walks with an arrogant face expression out of it. He glances towards a few workers and looks at them with disgust in his eyes as they are just greeting him.

The smile on my face fades at the sight of him, my eyes turning into a dark shade of brown and my eyebrows furrowing. The anger I feel towards this man is unbelievable.

"yeah, exactly that is what I meant!"
Liams voice cuts me out of my thoughts as I see him taking a few more shots of me, he seems very happy.

As he gives me a sign that he has finished I walk towards him and look at his camera role.
I don't want to sound arrogant, but these pictures are very good. I don't feel like im looking at me when I regard those pictures. The last few shots are the best ones, I didn't even know I could make such an face expression.

"whoever made your face look like this should better not come into your way. "
Liam chuckles and looks further through the pictures.

"Payne!"
The dark British accent calls Liams name.

He abruptly turns his head in Harrys direction and smirks at him.
"mate, good to see you."
They greet each other with clapping their hands together.
"happy to work on a project with you again after such a long time."
They smirk at each other and then turn their head at the same time in my direction.
