What You Wanted (A OneRepublic Fanfic)

Scars

Jo's POV

I sat at a table across from where the shoot and decided to order tea. I observed as people surrounded Ryan, putting make up on his face and fixing his hair. I kinda find it funny since they treat him like me when I get ready for photos, but boy, he is way out of my league.

"What are you thinking about?" I heard Evan say as he pulled up a chair next to me.

"Nothing, just thinking about life."

"Really? What about your life?" He asked.

"I never said it was mine."

"You didn't have to."

There a pause and the waiter came back with my cup and saucer and placed it on the table.

"So... Tell me what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" He asked, tapping my temple lightly.

As I was about to open my mouth to answer Evan, my eyes drifted back to Ryan. Our eyes met and I just couldn't take my eyes off of him.

"Johana?"

"Johana!" Evan shouted, snapping his fingers in front of me.

"Huh? What?"

"You got it bad eh Barretto?" He chuckles.

"Sorry." I blushed.

"So what the photo shoot for today boss?"

"No photo shoot today. Just figured we needed some rest is all." He smiled.

I started to think about how far I came with my life. I'm so grateful for everything and everyone that's in my life especially Ryan. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would actually be here right now.

Suddenly, I get the nagging sensation that someone is watching me.

"Evan?" I called out.

But he was nowhere to be found. Guess he went back to the hotel.

I felt the side of my head start to get hot. I looked up and met with Ryan's gaze and blushed, realizing he was staring at me the entire time. I smiled weakly and turned away. I don't understand why I'm acting so nervous around him now if I've known him for so long.

He actually looks exhausted, almost like he hasn't slept in days.

"No Ryan pose like this." I heard the photographer say as he started gesturing the pose Ryan should be.

"So how's the tour? I hear that you're doing all sorts of crazy stuff onstage." I asked Ryan as I took a bite of my salad.

"We are! But you'll have to wait and see." He smiles at me."

"How's the modeling going?" He added, as he took a sip of his wine.

"Pretty well actually. I'm actually enjoying it."

"See? I told you so. What have you done so far?"

"Oh you know the usual. Photo shoots, clothing commercials, cosmetic lines stuff like that. Oh I had to wear a lot of really cool costumes!" I answered back.

"Do you have any photos so I can see?" He asked innocently but his eyes tell me otherwise.

"They should be on my laptop but I left it back at my hotel room." I said, laughing a little.

"Tease." He said, sticking his tongue out at me.

"Oh sweetie, I haven't even begun with the teasing." I winked and he blushed automatically.
