You Chose Mine

Chapter 10

"Shannon! Where are you?" I heard Kennedy call out.

"I'm in the back!" I yelled as I pulled down the back drop, I saw her smile as she walked in with a whole bunch of clothes.

"Here are the rest of the clothes" she said placing them on the table.

"Thank you!" I said walking over and checking out the new prints.

"These turned out amazing" Kennedy gushed. I smiled to her, I was proud of these shirts but I was happy about the fact that I didn't care if Luke and Kennedy went on a date last night.

"Hey guys!" I heard a voice say I turned to see the boys entering, Luke first. Kennedy embraced him into a lingering hug as the rest piled into the room.

Fuck. I care.

"Hey Shannon" Ashton smiled. He pulled me close to him as I went back to last night's conversation. No one has seen me at my weak point, and when I say no one I mean no one. He pulled away so Calum and Michael could greet me properly, then it came to Luke. I smiled as he took me into his warm embrace, I felt his muscles relax around me like that night he came over to my house and I instantly felt at ease as he gently swayed me back and forth.

"How are you?" he asked me quietly, I nodded smiling.

"I'm good, how are you?" he shrugged.

"Not sure how I feel about this photo shoot" he admitted, his arms still locked around me. I cooed at his nervousness before falling back into the hug. My eyes met Calum's as he wiggled his eyebrows, causing a switch to go on in my head. I unwillingly pulled out of the hug once again before they followed me over to the table where their shirts we're placed.

"So, I was going to set specific piles of clothes for you guys but thought you guys will switch shirts and find other ones cooler or better than others so... go crazy" I smiled. I walked over to the camera to get it set up while Kennedy stayed with them to help with their decisions.

*Luke's P.O.V*

"I think this one will look great" Kennedy smiled as she pressed the shirt against my body.

I nodded, "It's a sick graphic" I complimented.

"Yeah Shannon has a keen eye for what looks good." I turned to see her setting up the whole shoot by herself, doing the lighting, preparing the camera, and hooking it up to the laptop.

"Kennedy, can I do some practice shots?" she asked, Kennedy kindly excused herself from me as she ran her hand across my chest. I locked eyes with Shannon as I seemed to look through Kennedy; she looked slightly lost before looking away. Usually I get a smile or friendly eyes, it's probably because I went out with Kennedy.

"She really likes you" Calum said. I picked up another shirt, the print looked familiar. There was a piece of paper attached to it, 'prototype, Luke shirt' it read. I remember why it looked so familiar, it's a similar design to the shirt I was wearing the night we met.

"Oh! That's cool" I heard Ashton say.

"Yeah it is" I turned back to see Shannon taking photos of a smiley Kennedy.

I don't know how I feel about the date last night. It was nice, I haven't been on a date for a while but it wasn't very fun. I didn't feel as if I could have opened up to her, I didn't feel confident around her. It was nothing like the few hours I spent with Shannon, that was fun and we didn't even go anywhere.

"I'm gonna get dressed" Ashton called out; Shannon turned and smiled before nodding. She set the camera down as she and Kennedy went through the photos. Shannon looked so pretty today. Her shiny soft hair was curled and she was wearing a pair of fitted black jeans that showed her shape off very nicely, with a blue shirt that looked like it shrunk in length but it looks good on her. What surprised me is that she matched it all with a pair of dirty converse. They are white and looked like they had been through hell but again it looks good on her. Kennedy on the other hand looks like she's always dressed for a photo shoot. Perfectly tan and wearing what looks like designer clothes everywhere. The only similar thing what that she was wearing white converse too but they looked brand new.
