Behind The Lens

TWENTY THREE

  I was sitting in the backstage area at the crowded concert venue, camera in hand, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and excitement. I had always loved taking photos, capturing moments in time that would last forever. But tonight was different. Tonight, I was not just a photographer, I was also Joost's girlfriend.

  As the weeks passed and Joost and I grew closer, I found myself falling for him more and more with each passing day. His smile lit up my world, and when he reached out to hold my hand as we walked through the crowded venue, my heart soared.

  Being in Joost's team was a dream come true. I got to capture him in his element, on stage, doing what he loved most. And the best part was, he was always looking at me, smiling, making me feel like the most important person in the room.

  As the concert raged on, I moved through the crowd, snapping photos of Joost and the rest of his colleagues as they played their hearts out. The energy in the room was electric, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline as I captured each moment.

  But more than the thrill of taking pictures, I was grateful for the opportunity to be there for Joost and his friends. They had welcomed me into their circle with open arms, and I was more than happy to be able to help in any way I could.

  When Joost finished his set and walked off stage, sweaty and smiling, he rushed over to me, pulling me into a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around him, looking at his eyes that were sparkling with joy and gratitude.

  "Thank you, Jazmin. I love you " he said, his voice filled with emotion.

  I smiled up at him, my heart overflowing with love. "It was my pleasure, Joost. I love you too".

  We stood there, lost in each other's eyes. I knew that this was just the beginning of our journey together. I was more than just Joost's photographer now; I was his girlfriend, his partner in crime.

  And as we walked hand in hand out of the venue, surrounded by our friends and the sound of cheers and applause, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be – by Joost's side, capturing our love story one photo at a time.
