The One They Call..Val (Dancing With The Stars)

Trailers

We pulled back up to the warehouse and it was time for Val to go get his stage makeup and his costume put on. Alright, do you want to come with me or you can just wait out here. Val said grabbing some of his stuff. I'll come with, I've always wanted to see how stage makeup works. I said. Val nodded. Come on. he said opening the door to the warehouse. After you. he said. I smiled at how much of a gentlemen he was. He pointed to one of the trailers and I headed towards it with him following behind me. He held the door to the trailer open and I walked inside with him behind me. Val! one of the women exclaimed. Hello beautiful. Val said with a smile hugging her back. Who's this pretty lady? the woman asked turning her attention to me. This is my friend, Jamaica. Jamaica, this is our makeup artist, Esmeralda. Val said with a smile as he introduced us. Nice to meet you, Hun. she said with a smile. You also. I said with a smile. Here, have a seat. she said motioning for me to sit. I obliged. She turned her attention to Val. You have your costume? she asked. Val nodded and pulled out the contents of the bag he was holding. He had a black hat, black trousers, and a pair of black dance flats. No shirt? I asked. Val looked at me and laughed. You have to give the ladies what they want. he said with a wink. I could've pasted out..Alright enough, go get changed. Esmeralda said pushing him towards the changing room. She sat down in front of me. So, how do you know Val? she asked. I met him this morning, I was leaving StarBucks and he was just coming in. We both weren't looking where we were going and I ran right smack into him and my drink fell onto the ground. Val volunteered to buy me another drink, I rejected a few times, but he wasn't gonna let me go without getting another drink, so I just let him buy me a new one. Then when I got to work this morning my boss said he was sending me on a special assignment to cover the Dancing With The Stars show tonight, the rest is history. I said with a smile. So, you're the girl he wouldn't shut up about this morning. she said with a smile. He talked about me? I asked. She nodded. Guy wouldn't shut up about you. she said with a laugh. I laughed as Val's voice filled the trailer. Alright Esmeralda, if you're done embarrassing me, I could use a little help back here! he said. We both laughed. Coming dear! she said standing up and walking to the back of the trailer. I pulled out my phone and texted James the pictures I've taken so far. I watched as Val walked from the back dressed in his costume. My jaw dropped. He smirked. You know, it's rude to stare. he said with a laugh. I rolled my eyes. Why don't you take a picture? It lasts longer. he said. Actually..I said grabbing my camera and walking to stand in front of Val. He moved closer to me and put his arms around my waist. I took the picture. I turned the camera and looked at it. Perfect. he said with a smile. Alright, you two! Esmeralda said ruining the moment. Val, we need to get started on your makeup. Val nodded and sat down in the seat. I sat down in the other chair and watched as Esmeralda did his hair and put a light amount of makeup on his face. I pulled out my phone as I felt it vibrate in my pocket. It was a text from James. Awesome pictures so far! These might actually get you out of the nature shoots ;) I laughed and put my phone back into my pocket. Val looked at me with an eyebrow raised. Boss man. I said with a chuckle. He nodded. Alright Valentin, we're done. Esmeralda said. I looked Val over. He looked very handsome. Thank you very much, Esmeralda. he said. She smiled and nodded at him. He turned his attention to me. Ready to go? he asked. I nodded as I gathered up the contents of my bag. I put it on my shoulder and followed him out to his car. He held the door open for me and I got in and buckled up. He walked over to the driver's seat and got in. You have a pass , right? he asked. I nodded and pulled it out of my pocket. He nodded and started up the car. Val! we heard someone call. Val rolled down his window as a man with short, blonde hair walked up. Derek, what's up? Val asked. Can I get a ride with you? he asked. He noticed me. Who's that? he asked with an eyebrow raised. She's a friend, Derek. Val said with a chuckle. I'm here covering the show tonight. I said. So you're paparazzi? Derek asked. Not even close. I said with a laugh. I work for James Doyle. I said. Doyle!? He's one of the best businessman/photographers on the planet! Derek exclaimed. I nodded. That's the one. I said with a laugh. That's awesome! But seriously..Dude, can I have a ride? I'll repay you, I promise. Derek said. Val sighed. Fine. he said unlocking the door. Get in. he said. Derek opened the door and threw his bag in and took a seat. Thanks V, you're the best. he said buckling himself in. I'm Derek by the way. he said extending his hand out to me. Jamaica. I said smiling and shaking his hand. It's a pleasure to meet you. he said. Likewise. I said with a smile as Val turned on the radio and headed to the venue.
