Driving to the studio was one of the most nerve wracking things I'd ever had to do, especially because it meant seeing Harry again, as well as a possibility of getting a new job - as a model for their brand.

I'd totally forgotten that he'd arranged for me to model his brand until last night, and it had me in a panic for several hours about what to wear. Eventually, I'd just gone with a plain navy blue sweatshirt, black Nike leggings and ivory trainers.

Pulling up into the car park I could make out the vague outline of Kon at the entrance, the only camera man that I could recognise.

Immediately, I unplugged the keys and stepped out of the car, the harsh breeze hitting me like a tidal wave. I felt myself shaking as I walked closer towards him, and I think he could sense that I was nervous too. As he walked towards me, he wrapped an arm around my shoulder while speaking softly into my ear "you okay?"

I just nodded reassuringly before we both wandered inside, dreading what was about to come.

However, little did I know that a handsome figure stood in front of me as I entered, awaiting my presence. "You okay?" He asked and he pulled me into a warm hug, his perfume strangling my nose as I breathed it in.

"Yeah, just a bit nervous but il be ok." I nodded at him before forcing a smile, in order to deflect my nerves.

"You'll be fine, you've got nothing to lose really. As long as I'm here, you have your job." He smiled at me reassuringly as he signalled for me to follow him. I couldn't help but blush; looking down I noticed his veiny hands and I almost practically melted on the spot: how was this man so perfect? I wish, just one day, that we would be able to publically express how we felt, without the need to hide everything just for social media - and from my sister. Somehow, we weren't even dating yet (I was too frightened to tell him how I felt).

Eventually, we reached what appeared to be a green screen along with several chairs and props. A group of camera men stood, preparing their devices for the photo shoot. Harry headed straight over to one of the men, which I didn't recognise at all. He beckoned me to follow him, in which I did, steadily.

Walking up to him, I was welcomed by a slightly plump figure with glasses, his golden hair overlapping his eyebrows. "Nancy, this is James, he's our other camera man and will be doing your photos."

Gradually, I help out my hand as he did with his, before he looked up and beamed at me. "Nice to meet you."

"You too, I'm Nancy, by the way." I forced a smirk as I glanced towards the vast camera behind him, pointing directly towards the green screen.

"Do you mind just standing over here?" James questioned as his eyes fell onto the where the green screen was, which I immediately headed over towards.

"So we're gonna do some photos with you on your own, then done with Harry and a couple of others, ok?"

I nodded before I was handed a green hoodie, with the letters 'sdmn' imprinted onto the top left corner. I slipped it on, before turning around to reveal the back of the shirt to the camera, while my head still faced the front. A few clicks of the camera were heard as I switched poses, until finally, my solo shoot had finished.

From then, everything went a lot less nerve wracking than I thought: James guided me using different props and several adjustments to my poses, as several other people came to join in with my photos. Soon enough, it was over.

Harry strolled over to me as I exited the shoot, pulling me into a warm hug and whispering into my ear "you did amazing." I whispered a gentle "thank you", as I felt the presence of someone else appear beside us. As I pulled away from Harry, my eyes were met with Kon.

"So, we've reviewed the photos and think you're the perfect person for the job, you in?"

I couldn't help but squeal with delight as I jumped up and down, i could feel several eyes watching me but I didn't care: I finally had the perfect job.

"Of course I'm in"

Kon and Harry both shared a proud glance, before they turned back to me. "Welcome to the team."
