Dylan Ryder's FoolProof Guide to Womanizing

Chapter [19]

Chapter 19

"There were some altercations so I couldn't get him in to take the shoot dad" Brooklyn was sitting around the dining table on a Tuesday night with Xander and her dad and she was explaining why the pictures from the shoot weren't on his desk this morning.

"You’re lucky I own the place and can make the strings that I would otherwise have had to pull"

"Ha-ha funny" I laughed dryly while cutting up Xander's lasagne

"So has sitting around waiting for her done anything for you yet?"

"Do you think it has?" I asked glaring at Mason; I had been restless all night. "F#*k" I muttered to myself in the mirror. The bags under my eyes were ridiculous, I hadn't shaved in almost 4 days I looked like a caveman.

"I think this chick is doing more bad than good man I mean look at you" Mason said. "You're a mess, I know some chicks dig the ruggedly handsome thing b-"

"I get it no need to get specific" I said cutting him off.

The next morning Brooklyn was determined to call Dylan and make amends.

Two rings later he picked up “hello?"

"Umm... hi I err wanted to apologise for yesterday"

"Oh... Its fine forget it"

"Cool but I was also wondering if you'd be free to come in today for a make up shoot"

"I have training for most of the day but I’ll be free after 5"

"5 is alright, see you then" I hung up before Brooklyn got the chance.

Training was gruelling and by the end of it I had an icepack on my left ankle because I’d twisted it earlier. Mason helped as I limped off of the field.

I drove to the studio... I thought about buying Chinese on the way but then I remembered the last time and the fortune cookie that I hadn't even told Mason about.

The elevator dinged and this time the whole crew was there running around while Brooklyn was on the phone again but this time probably business related.

Seeing me she ended the call.

"Alright guys 30mins that’s ALL I’m giving you for hair makeup and wardrobe so chop chop." she said all business like.

They all kicked into action immediately. And in exactly 30 minutes I was ready.

The shots were taken with a backdrop that could be digitally remastered. All in all it was a pretty cool shoot. Afterwards though I was both mentally and physically drained, "So is my work here done?" I asked Brooklyn as she was filling out some paper work.

"Oh err yeah... The pictures turned out really well. Thanks" she said offering her hand. I shook it, same electric vibe but I ignored it this time. Its winter... Must be the static in the air.

"Sure static that definitely explains it" Gigi was agreeing sarcastically.

"G be serious"

"Well you think about it, you said this has happened every time he's shaken your hand is it really logical to conclude that it’s the /static/? Be realistic. You've got the serious hots for him".

"You’re not over her are you?" Mason asked me seriously,

"I thought you preferred the old Dylan Ryder"

"Yeah I probably do... But I can tell that it's eating you up inside. Anyways did the coach tell you how long you gotta stay off that foot?"

"Well the doc examined it and says I should be fine for the game. But I cant put any pressure on it till then".

"You lucky bastard... So you're not training then?"

"Nope"

The show stopper fittings went faster than Brooklyn thought they would. She was in a crochet white gown with blue hemming sewn to the ends. It really would be a showstopper. And apparently Khrys was arriving later today but there was some sort of thing she had to do so she wasn't in for the dress rehearsal today.

Pablo had called to let her know that he'd be in New York next Saturday. She was over the moon... She was hoping though that the modelling thing with Dylan was done by then.

I was lying on my back on my bed throwing my soccer ball above my bed when I heard my door bell ring. I jogged down stairs to open the door to reveal a beaming Mason,

"You'll never believe who I bumped into on my way here" he began,

"Who?" I asked nonchalantly

"Khrys Henderson" he said smiling and looking to his right where she stepped out from behind him

"Hey Ry" she said calling me by the nickname she gave me.

"Khrys w-what are you doing here?"

She frowned before she answered "I came to see you silly"

See Khrys Henderson wasn't only my /first/... Mason wasn't the only one who's first love got away... Khrys Henderson was the love of my life. Maybe it was the fact that she was older and a lot more...refined that I was. She broke my heart in the worst way... Claimed I wasn't good enough.

She inspired my rule book.

In other words she made me the way I am today.

And by coming back she was messing things up again... She was messing me up again.
