5. Kiss You

Tori pulled up to the warehouse that was listed as the location for the shoot. She watched as Harry sat in his car on his phone. He looked up as if sensing her presence, and smiled, lifting his fingers in a weak wave. She got out of her car and crossed the lot to his as he was climbing down. He stood, towering over her.

“You guys did that on purpose. It was some kind of test wasn't it?” She accused, poking a finger towards his chest. He threw his head back in a loud belly laugh.

“What ever do you mean?” He asked theatrically, sliding his sunglasses off his face and up to his head, pulling his fringe of brown curls up with them.

“You got me in trouble.” She said crossing her arms.

“You think that’s trouble?” He asked, refering to the wrath of her uncle, lifting an eyebrow, egging her on.

“You know what I mean.” She said waving her hands in the air. He smiled.

“Well, for your information, I did no such thing.” He shrugged, making his way to the door. “Ever been in a music video?” He asked, smirking as he turned towards the large garage door of the warehouse.

“Can’t say that I have.” She joked, having to speed up her steps to keep up with his long legs. “I’m excited.” She added, smiling up at him. He chuckled.

“We’ll see about that.” He said, leaving her standing just outside in the dusty parking lot.

Twenty minutes into the day, she knew exactly what he had meant. The minutes dragged on as she sat under hot lights, waiting for the makeup artist, Lou, to come fix her face and hair.

“Goodmorning! You must be Tori. Such great skin!” she smiled patting Tori’s cheek lovingly. Tori smiled. Lou had followed the boys when they left Modest! and was their permanent makeup artist. She brushed some makeup onto Tori’s face, dusting her with a white powder when she was done. “I’ll explain what these do some other time.” Lou said, putting her things away, “You’d better head out, huh?” She said motioning to the clock. She turned to Lori, the wardrobe manager who handed Tori a garment bag.

“I hope it all fits, I pulled it together kind of last minute.” Lori said, shrugging.

“I’m sure it will, thank you so much!” Victoria said, crossing the room to the area they had set up old-fashioned beach changing tents. She opened the bag to reveal a few hangers of clothing. The first a black leather vest over a Rolling Stones T-shirt and jeans. She smiled, liking the outfit. She flipped through a Hawaiian shirt and white shorts, which she nodded at, pushing her lower lip out. Must be a theme thing, she thought as she flipped through a sailor suit, a little scanalous for her taste and few other outfits to the last hanger. An vintage red bikini. It had high waisted bottoms and a bra shaped top. She cringed. Putting on the first outfit she left the rest hanging, walking out into the main warehouse. They had a big white screen up. It was playing an endless loop of a highway that seemed to run through a canyon. There were props everywhere, a motorcycle with a side car was mounted to a platform along side an old convertible that Louis and Niall sat in, fooling around, pretending to drive. A woman with a clipboard swept her away towards the car, pointing towards it. Niall patted the back seat as she climbed over the side door.

“Welcome to your first video shoot!” He said, turning in his seat. “This should be fun!” he said settling again as Louis's gaze remained out the front windshield. The director sauntered over to them telling them that they are to just fool around as if they are on a motercyle or in a car. Easy enough, she thought, nodding.

“Tori, sit in between Niall and Louis on the back of the seat. Louis rest an arm on her knees.” The director instructed, watching carefully, screwing up his eyes in concentration. “Good.” He said, moving on the Zayn who was on the motorcycle with Harry, Liam in the sidecar pouting.
