Photo-Shoot Surprise (Josh Franceschi)

“Can you not” I laughed as my friend Krissy started to throw cereal at me from her spot at the end of the island table in the middle of our small apartment kitchen.

“I could but I’m not going too, you should be excited! You have a job finally!” She said as she flicked another cheerio at me, I sighed I am happy that I have a new job finally after forever of filling out applications. I am a photographer so it was hard to really get a job, also Krissy and I basically had an apartment in the heart of London almost a little outside more, but it was good enough for the both of us since Krissy made it big with her sense in hair styles and all that fashion stuff and ended up creating her own line of fashion that made it big so technically I was living off her but it wasn’t a total drag.

“I know I should be excited there are only two downfalls to this day. 1) I haven’t heard from Josh all week and he’s supposed to be back from the states. And 2) I don’t even know who I am photographing I just know where it is and it’s for some band” I swinging my spoon around in the air, I missed Josh so much yeah I understand him the guys have to concentrate on this album but it’s been a while since I’ve heard from him so I get worried, I mean if your boyfriend was in a big well-known band like You Me At Six and he has to go to a different country to record an album I think you’d be a little worried sometimes to.

“Sierra, relax! He’s going to be calling you up telling you to pick him up from the airport in no time! Who knows maybe this mystery band is his!” She smiled as she took her bowl and placed it in the sink, I sighed before finishing up my cereal and playing my bowl in the sink next to hers before turning around and doing our daily game of ‘rock, paper, scissors’ to see who will be doing the dishes for the rest of today.

“I win!” She teased me; I rolled my eyes and began the dishes my mind wondering elsewhere. Josh and I have been together for about a few months our one year is actually today, but we don’t live together we never got around to actually talk about it because he’s always touring and working, so we just never got around to it but I’m in no rush I enjoy our relationship so much it’s like Christmas every time I get to see him it’s awesome. He is the biggest sweetheart in the world, and just really fun to be with; he always jokes around with me and we are never bored when we are together it’s always something new every time we see each other it’s great. I honestly hope I get to see him so it’s been so long since the last time I’ve seen my own boyfriend, last time all we did was cuddle in and watch movies all night long it was awesome I appreciated all the times I get with him.

“Krissy! I’m leaving! Bye, bitch!” I yelled at my friend only for her to reply with calling me a ‘wanker’, our friendship was just the best I was so happy she let me move in with her. We use to live in states but moved here because Krissy just got big one day, we packed up and moved out here I actually met Josh at a rock show believe it or not; Krissy is good friends with a guy named Danny Worsnop maybe a little too good of friends, but anyways Danny invited us to a show and Josh’s band was playing at it; while Danny was out on stage Krissy and I were just bullshitting with the rest of the crew and some other bands having a drink, and Josh came over to me and offered me a drink of course I accepted I mean free drink fuck yeah man, so after a few more drinks later I ended up getting a little bit too drunk along with Krissy but Danny took her home and Josh took me home I was living somewhere else at the time; and I asked Josh to stay the night with me, no I didn’t sleep with him I just asked him to stay the night because I was lonely and drunk; so he did and then the next morning we got breakfast and that’s basically how it happened nothing to special it was just luck I guess; but the funny apart the story is, is when Josh’s friends tell it, they actually dared him to ask me for a drink telling him that he had no chance with me or that I was out of his league so he was really shocked after I agreed to it. There isn’t anything really special about me, I mean I’m a photographer; I have a few tattoos, long black hair, I’m a little chubby but I look good for my size so sometimes I wonder what he sees in me.
