Honey (A Keith Powers Story)

Chapter 13: Bad Terms

Honey

I was awakened by my phone ringing. I jumped up immediately answering it not caring that I didn't look at the screen.

"H-hello" I said clearing my throat. "Hey Honey, its Marlowe. I've been trying to reach you" he said. "Oh, I'm so sorry" I said looking at the time. It was going on 10:30 "Yeah I texted you and called you. We need to push the photo-shoot today like now. I already gave Julian your address, I'm quite sure he texted you too. He should be there in any minute now" he explained. My eyes widened as I jumped out of bed. "Okay no problem" I said. I heard the door knock and I knew that was him. "I'll send you the information on all the matches so you can make the flyers" he said.

"Okay"

"Okay bye" I said quickly getting off the phone. I flew to the bathroom rinsing my face with water. I heard him knock again as I quickly brushed my teeth. I spit the toothpaste out my mouth quickly rinsing my mouth. I ran to the door looking out the peephole to see Julian with a look of impatience. I quickly answered the door.

"H-heyy" I said.

"Hey, what you were sleep? He asked with a slight attitude. "I'm sorry, I kind of overslept" I admitted letting him in. He walked inside making his way to the living room. While he wasn't looking I placed my robe on that was hanging from the hanger.

"I had no idea the shoot was today" I explained.

"It's all good, nice crib" he said looking around. "Thankyou.. can you give me a second? I asked. "Take all the time you need" he sarcastically sitting on the couch. I turned on the TV for him as I dodged to my room to change. I put on my sweat shorts and a tee throwing my hair in a sloppy bun. Thank god I showered late last night. I just hated how unprofessional I looked. I came out my room to see him on the phone.

"You ready? I asked. "Yeah give me a second" he said reading his emails. I grabbed my remote to my speaker system turning on some music. "Want some coffee? I asked. Tamia- Into you was playing lowly.

"Oh I forgot, you can't have any of that stuff" I said filling it all the way to the top. "No thankyou" he said. I grabbed my coffee mug as well as my creamer from the refrigerator. Once I was finished I walked over with my coffee mug.

Julian

I watched her make her way over towards me. She still looked like she just woke up with her wavy hair stuck to her face. She was even more beautiful without all that makeup. Too bad her attitude was all over the place. I watched her stare at me and then the backdrop. I guess she was wondering what she should do. "So what are you wearing? She asked.

"I have my red and blue boxer apparel" I said. So where is it? She asked.

"On me" I said. Right now I had on a nike track suit. "Well are you going to take it off? She asked. I got up "The bathroom is to the-

I pulled down my sweats throwing them on the side as well as my shirt. I was left shirtless with just my boxer shorts. I watched her stare at my chiseled chest, I wasn't trying to be cocky or anything but she never once looked up.

"Okay great, so I want you to sit on that bench in the middle" she said. I did as I was told waiting for her instruction. She stood for a second "So were going to do three colors. White Blue and Pink" I said

"Pink? I asked.

"Yes Pink" she said. "Look I aint a model or anything" I said. "Please don't tell me your extra hyper masculine" she said rolling her eyes. "I didn't say that but what's the point of pink? I questioned. "The point is I know what I'm doing okay" she said changing the backdrop to yellow. She then grabbed an American flag bandana wrapping it around my head. She then gave me the flag placing it on my shoulder.
