Our Hourglass (Sequel to Perfectly Photogenic)

Chapter 15

The next morning, Jeremy and I drove to the location we were doing our photo shoot at. It was an abandoned, worn down building, today's theme was going to be horror. We got out of the car and started setting up our stuff, while our models were getting ready.

"This is awesome." I smiled, adjusting my lens.

"Couldn't agree more. So how's the studio?" Jeremy asked.

"Great. I mean, my ex trashed it, breaking all of my equipment a few months before Ryan proposed."

"Sorry to hear that. But everything's okay now, right?"

"Yeah." I replied, nodding my head. "Now let's start a bad ass photography shoot."

***************

Jeremy and I finished up our session and went back to the hotel, so we could work on our edits.

"Good session today." Jeremy said, taking out his room key.

"Ditto." I smiled, doing the same. I unlocked my door and walked into the room, putting my stuff down on the floor. I took my phone out and texted Ryan because I knew sooner or later we'd have to talk about things.

Brianne: Are you busy?

Ryan: We're heading to the studio...wanna come?

Brianne: No I just got back from the photo shoot. I'll work on editing, come to my room when your're finished

Ryan: Of course I'll see you later on

I put my phone down and took out my laptop, getting started with my work. I really hope Ryan isn't at the studio too long. If he is, I mean what can I do about it?

"Sometimes being married to a musician is frustrating." I said to myself.

**************

Three hours later, after two orders of room service for lunch and dinner and countless TV shows, there was finally a knock at my door. I got up, answering it and engulfed my husband in a bone breaking hug.

Ryan groaned, tightly squeezing me in his arms before pulling away. "I'm sorry, we took longer than I thought." He apologized as I closed the door.

"It's fine. How is recording?"

"Everything is going smoothly. How was your session today?"

"Great. I'm really satisfied with my work."

"That's good, so what exactly did you and Chris talk about yesterday?" Ryan questioned, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Firstly, why did you choke him? You're lucky he didn't kill you or kick you out of the band! What the hell were you thinking, Ryan?"

"The man has the hots for you! I told him to mind his business and clearly he didn't, so I took it upon myself to tell him to back off. Also, Chris wouldn't dare to touch me and I'd leave the band before he had the chance to kick me out."

"You sound so ridiculous right now, Ryan." I retorted, rolling my eyes. "And you'd leave all that hard work and years of dedication behind?"

"Well I guess that'd give me the excuse to stay home and start our family."

"At this point, I don't know if I even want a family now with how stupid you're acting! This whole thing is making us go crazy and we're lashing out at people who care about us."

"Well Chris needs to stop caring so much, especially about you." Ryan said, cracking his knuckles.

"Get over it, Ryan! Chris wouldn't try anything, he knows I'm committed to only you and stop trying to act like a tough guy, Ryan. Acting like a god damn fool." I said, while finally putting my laptop away.
