The Girl With X-Ray Eyes

Chapter 15

I called up my good friend, who was a photographer, to see if I could get Noel in for a session. I have known her for years and she does some amazing work. Her studio is massive and she has so many sets and backgrounds and I'm hoping this will spark a little creativity in Noel's mind. As she picked up we chatted a little bit, then I asked her when she next had available time to book Noel in. She said someone had cancelled and was open Saturday. This was perfect as Noel didn't go into the studio on weekends and there was no Man City match on.
I set my phone down and went to go tell Noel.

I found him sitting on the couch watching tv. I grabbed the remote and turned it on mute as I sat down next to him.

"Do you have any plans Saturday?" I asked Noel playing with his arm.

"Wellll . . I thought about flying to India and getting some curry to bring home buuut I'm assuming you have something else in mind."

He was really so silly and I loved that about him . . most of the time.

"Yes, the curry will have to wait I'm afraid. I called up my photographer friend and she had a free slot for you to do a session."

Noel slumped back on the couch. "Do I have to?" Him flashing his bright eyes at me.

"Noel you said you would do it." I looked at him playfully angry.

"If you were gonna be there."

"And I will. Someone's gotta make sure you're actually participating."

"Geez you sound like me mum." I gave him a stare. ". . who I love dearly." and Noel gave me a quick kiss.

I sat on the couch waiting for Noel so we could head out to the photoshoot. I don't know what was taking him so long, and they say women always take forever to get ready. A few more minutes went past when he finally came into the room.

"So how do I look?" Noel said presenting himself to me. He was wearing all black, a long sleeved shirt, pants, shoes and shades. It was a simple outfit but fuck did he looked sexy. It took me a couple seconds to gather some words out.

"Yeah you look . . fantastic" I finally said.

"Well of fuckin course I do." Noel smiled at me.

"Then why did you ask me?"

"Just wanted to hear you say it." He laughed.

I rolled my eyes, I had grown used to his arrogance. Sometimes it was nice to see some confidence in him though. And I mean he wasn't wrong this time.

We arrived to my friend's studio and took a look around. There was a few props and furniture but not much else. Noel didn't need something crazy anyways as it was just a session to get some clean pics for the new album. We walked over to my friend and I introduced her to Noel. We looked over some other background drops she had but Noel didn't seem interested so he just stayed with the white one that was already there.

Noel stood in front of the background by himself for the few beginning shots. It looked like he wasn't really enjoying it as he just stood there crossing his arms. He got a few shots in when the photographer asked for Noel to give a smile.
I came up closer to him, so he could see me better. I decided to try and make Noel laugh, so I went behind my friend and started acting silly and making funny faces at him. I did manage to get him to crack a smile and hopefully she got some good pictures of out that.

The photographer stopped for a minute to switch out a lens and Noel walked up to her. He asked if he could bring the table and chair over and use them. She agreed and said it a was a great idea. I ran over to help Noel move the table in place while my friend directed us where to put it. I ran back to grab the chair for Noel to sit in and then back behind the camera so they could start shooting again.
