Note: I am really liking how my story is going so far! I've got some ideas for what might happen next! Yay! Hopefully this chapter will be a little longer than the last one. I make no promises on how long my chapters will be. Lol. :P But, here's chapter 8! Vote? Comment? Follow? Whatever ya want! :D
Monday.
I woke up so excited! I was doing a photo shoot with my favorite band! I've seen them in concert so many times and have even met them, but they probably wouldn't remember me. Especially since they meet so many people. It seemed like it had taken forever for Sunday to pass and Monday to come along. Last night, I couldn't stop talking about it to the guys. I'm pretty sure they got a little tired of hearing it after a while. I also couldn't stop smiling. I was only hoping I wouldn't choke up or do something dumb. Though, I'm sure Daniel would keep me in check. That's if he's able to keep his own self in check.
So here I was standing in front of the downstairs hallway mirror putting in my piercings. It was close to 9:30, which meant I need to leave soon to be at the studio by 10. I looked myself over in the mirror one last time to make sure I was somewhat decent. I had chosen to wear my red skinny jeans, high-top converse, and flowy black tank top on it that read "Love Bites."
"Hey Ashley? Do I look somewhat okay?"
I turned to look at him since he'd been watching me put in my rings.
"You look great, Aly. Promise."
I smiled and replied, "Thanks. I'll see ya later."
I snatched my keys off the hook. As I reached the door, he gently wrapped his hand around my forearm.
"I really need to talk to you."
Was he being serious right now? It's obvious I'm about to leave.
"Ashley look, I'm super sorry, but I really have to go."
Before he could try to stop me again, I headed out the door and started up my car. On the way to the studio, I thought of things we'd need to set up. Luckily this time I didn't have to pick outfits prior to the photo shoot since they're bringing their own outfits. I quickly parked my car and walked in. I was surprised to see Daniel here on time.
"Took you long enough to get here, didn't it?" Daniel asked as he handed me some Starbucks coffee.
"I said to be here by 10. I'm not late."
Why was he acting all freaked out? The band wouldn't be here for another two hours.
"They called and moved the appointment up to 10:30!"
I choked on my coffee.
"Daniel! Why the hell didn't you call or text me about this?"
I couldn't believe this!
"I was too busy getting myself and other things gathered and set up! Not to mention I had to drive here when I live 45 minutes away!"
"You have everything set up?"
He nodded his head and said, "Yes, just not the camera because that's your job."
I quickly walked over to the camera to set it up and make sure it was working. I really couldn't believe they'd move the appointment up. From what I've heard about them, they didn't early appointments. Then again, maybe 10 something wasn't early to them. I was just glad Daniel was willing to get here quicker and earlier than he was supposed to. If hadn't have gotten here, I would've had to cancel the shoot for today!
As we were finishing up the little stuff, they finally walked in! Longest 30 minutes of my life! I glanced at Daniel who was beside me and smiled as they walked over to us.
"Hi, I'm Alyssandra Grayson and I'm the photographer/owner of this studio. This is my wonderful assistant Daniel," I said nervously as I shook their hands.
"Hi, I'm Ronnie Radke. Uh this is Ryan, Ron, Jacky, and Derek. We're Falling In Reverse."
"I'll let you guys get ready, situated, or whatever else you need to do, then we'll get started."
They nodded and after several minutes were in front of the green screen. I was glad this wasn't just a one day thing; I'm photographing Falling In Reverse for at least a week in different places. Today we were just going to stay inside since it was storming outside.
A few hours had passed and everyone was almost finished packing up since we were done. I thought today went pretty well, other than my thoughts drifting back to what Ashley needs to talk to me about.
"You alright, Aly?"
Daniel's question caught me off guard. Honestly, I didn't know what to answer at first.
"Ashley again?"
Seriously, how is he so good at guessing this? I nodded my head. Daniel always has been able to read my like an open book.
"Want to talk about it?"
I squinted my eyes and analyzed if there was actually even something to talk about. I shook my head then said, "There's really nothing to even talk about. I mean he's told me the past couple days he needs to talk to me. I think I already know where that's going."
"Oh boy. I think anyone would know where that's going when someone says "they need to talk to you". Well I got to get home, I'll see you tomorrow, A."
"See ya."
I finished putting my camera in my office and locked it up. As I was walking down the stairs, I noticed Ronnie standing at the front door. What's he waiting for?
"Um Alyssandra?"
I looked up at him and smiled then said, "Yes?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a date with me tonight?"
My eyes widened and my mouth stayed open as I was completely stunned. Ronnie Radke from Falling In Reverse wants to go out on a date with me?
"Yeah, I'd love to."
He grinned. "Alright, great. I got directions from Daniel to your house, so I'll pick you up at 7:30?"
I nodded my head rather quickly. I couldn't believe I was going on a date with Ronnie Radke!
