Barbie and Ken [18]

We burst through the doors to the warehouse half an hour later in presentable clothes. Lucy raised an eyebrow at us, "You're five minutes late."

"Sorry!" I squeaked.

"Don't let it happen again," she said pointedly, "We're going to have a short--"

"Over here!" the agent from VS called out. Her name tag said Ronnie. She said, "We're just going to have a short meeting first and then we'll get into doing the shoot."

Castor and I walked over to her and sat down in the couch opposite. She smiled, "Tea? Cookies?"

I shook my head at both, "No thanks."

Castor took a cookie with a grin.

Ronnie began, "So, in the photos from the shoot last week we noticed quite a bit of chemistry. You two worked well together."

I blushed and looked down at my lap. 

"I want to see more of that energetic, dynamic duo," she said broadly with big hand gestures, "This is a VS Sportswear Photo Shoot promoting both the men's and women's sections. So I want you to do whatever feels natural and whatever you believe shows off the sportswear."

"Can we see the clothes now?" I looked up with a small smile.

"That's the best bit," she winked and got one guy to lead Castor to his change room and she led me to mine. I raked through the beautiful items of sportswear.

"Use that outfit first please," she winked and walked out of my change room. I stripped and then pulled on the black and white criss-crossed sports bra and the black and white criss-crossed tights. They were joined by all-black sneakers. I walked out of the change room. 

It was hard to not look at Castor. He resembled something between Sean O'Donnell and the Greek Adonis. I peeled my eyes away from his six-pack and walked up to him. He grinned, "Nerd."

"Jerk," I greeted. The necklace was still around my neck. I took it off and handed it to Lucy, "Do not lose it under any circumstances."

She raised an eyebrow at it but nodded.

Ronnie called, "Okay, make it natural, but we really want to exaggerate Castor in these first few shots. 

I grinned, "Idea: Turn into Hulk."

He smirked but suddenly bent his knees and flexed his muscles. I stood there with my hands behind my back like an innocent schoolgirl. 

The camera flashed.

"I love that one! You guys have a sort of charm. Keep going."

I turned my attention back to Castor but his arms were already around my waist. I squealed but in a moment I was planted on his shoulders. I placed my hands on his head, trying to balance, "This is the worst idea you've ever had."

"Sure, Barbie," he scoffed. I chose a bored sort of face as the camera went off again.

A second later I was on the floor in front of Castor. He grinned, "Another idea." He got into a planking position. I was shocked for a moment at the way his back muscles and biceps rippled.

"Sit on me," he ordered. 

I did it and crossed one leg over the other. I pretended to be studying my nails. They really do need some hardener though...

The camera flashed, "Beautiful."

I hopped off Castor quickly and he rolled onto his back, breathing heavily, "You're heavier than you seem."
