Picture Perfect

Chapter 5

VICTORIA'S POV:

I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to greet the day. After taking a shower, getting dressed and drinking a couple cups of tea, I grab my cameras, computer and books; I take them out to the car. I unplug the cable from the car making certain the battery is fully charged for my trip today to Holmes Chapel.

It's 4am and I am on the road. The sunrise will be coming in about 30 minutes. I locate a spot on the side of the road to park my car and trek a bit up a side road and set up my camera. Setting up the shot, the sun rises and I begin shooting. I go with a succession of continuous burst shots. I stand there and watch the sun rise in amazement at how beautiful it is. This is going to be a wonderful place to live, I know it.

I walk back to the car and fasten my seat belt and continue on my way towards Holmes Chapel.

HARRY'S POV:

I get up at 4am after only managing about two hours of sleep. All I could do was toss and turn. Victoria accepted my follow request. Not sure why other than my personal account is very safe. Nothing too telling. Getting dressed in a pair of jogging pants, I walk downstairs to put on a pot of coffee for mum. I decide to heat up a kettle of water for tea. I should make breakfast but I'm not certain how soon anybody is getting up.

Thoughts kept me up all night. What she will be like, what to talk to her about, how to engage an interesting conversation. How do I ask her about things I know now as I've looked up her accounts and her friends? I decide to call Niall.

Harry: Hey Irish, you up?

Niall: What the hell, mate? It's 4:30am. Why are you awake? This is early, even for you.

Harry: Couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned, finally got out of bed at 4am.

Niall: Why aren't you running then instead of waking people at this ungodly hour?

Harry: Niall, what is she like? What did you guys discuss?

Niall: Who?

Harry: Seriously? Come on, I'm asking for your help.

Niall: She is really nice. We talked about the album, what the feel is and what my ideas were. She threw some ideas back at me – I don't know. Fuck Harry, what is your problem?

Harry: I'm nervous

Niall: Why? You've met with photographers in the past, why is this so different?

Harry: I really want to impress her.

Niall: Then be yourself.

Harry: Seriously?

Niall: Dead serious man.

Harry: Did she ask you any personal questions?

Niall: You have to be shitting me, Harry. We talked, you know like two people talk. Just be yourself and interact with her. Jesus, your mum and Gemma are going to be there. It's not like you are going to be chatting her up for a date. You'll be your charming self.

Harry: What did you call her, how did you address her?

Niall: Come again?

Harry: Did she introduce herself as Victoria?

Niall: Harry, have you lost your bloody mind? Yes! That's her name for fucks sake.

Harry: Yeah, I know, but...
