It was a nice day. The sun was gleaming through the little clouds in the sky and everything seemed nice. It was my first job at the studio. I was part of this program at this college I attended, where the 5 best photographers where chosen to work at Nailboard, a famous photography studio, that dabbles in everything from show ads, to erotic magazines. I got to work in that specific field.. the erotic magazine studio. It's not called that but I call it that. I walked into the studio and it was crowded. I tried to make my way through but ended up bumping into someone.
"S-Sorry!" I heard a female voice say.
"N-No no its my-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence once I saw her. She was so pretty.. her lips looked like soft pink pillows, and her eyes.. was like a forest. She was wearing a robe that was slipping off of one shoulder. She gave me a warm smile and apologized again.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.." She said with a slight giggle.
"N-No i-it's fine! I-I was in a rush and didn't see you.. " She smiled.
"We didn't get to introduce ourselves yet! Hi, my name is Meloney! You must be new! I've never seen you around here before.." She had the biggest smile while saying all of this.
"Y-Yeah.. today's my first day.. and I'm trying to find the boss, but I can't seem to-" I was cut off.
"I'll take you to him! I know where his office is!" She said happily.
"Y-You do? Thank you!" She nodded and grabbed my hand. Her hands were so soft.. She took my hand and lead my to the bosses office. She knocked on the door of his office. All I can hear was a raspy voice say, "Come in". We walked into his office. It was dark and cold, the only light peering through the blinders and the tip of his lit cigarette, making the boss look suspicious and scary. I gulped while Meloney skipped in his office.
"Hi Vinny!" Meloney said cheerfully. He smirked, his sharp white teeth showing. It was like he was made out of pure shadows.
"Hi doll~.. who's this?" He looked at me with his darkish grey eyes. I gulped.
"M-My name is M-Marty sir.. Marty Madalia.. I-I'm a new photographer."
"Oh! You're one of those 5 photo people! Alright.. what do you need?" He said, his raspy voice even more noticeable.
"I just had to tell you something sir.."
"No need to call me sir.. call me Vincent." He said with a smirk.
"O-Okay.. Vincent.. um... I just had to say, I have a condition.. that might affect the way I work.." He looked at me with dull eyes. He took a long puff of his cigarette.
"What's your condition?"
"I have narcolepsy.." I gulped again.
"Alright.. I'll see what I can do to limit your work load, and I'll see if I can find somewhere to put you if you have an episode." He said. He got up and was pretty tall. He was also pretty muscular. He led me and Meloney outside, where I was able to see a good shot of his face in the light. He had dark eye bags, and tanned skin. His hair was black and slicked back a bit. He had a little scar on his cheek, and had a little beard. He took another puff of his cigarette. He talked to some of the other people working there and was able to get something set up. We all walked back to his dark, cold office. He sat in his chair while Meloney sat on his desk. She crossed her legs and started putting on light pink lip stick. I sat on the chair facing his desk.
"Here, a name tag and a camera. Welcome to Nailboard. Hope you like it here." He said. He gave me both a name tag and a really nice camera. "Have a nice first day." He said with a smirk. I got up from my chair and walked out of the office. I fixed the buttons on my shirt and put the camera around my neck. I looked around the area for about an hour or two.. then Meloney walked out of Vincent's office. I thought she walked out a couple minutes after I did.. that just made me think.. why was she in there for so long? What were they doing? I walked up to her and when I said hi, she jumped a little. Her robe was now slipping off both of her shoulders, and the part that holds the robe close, was now very loose. She looked at me and fixed her robe.
"H-Hi Marty.. what have you been doing?" She asked.
"I've just been walking around, seeing how everything looks. I wanna ask you, why were you in Vincent's office for so long?" She looked confused.
"What do you mean? I walked out shortly after you did." She said, kinda seriously. The way she said things and they why she looked seemed like she was telling the truth.
"Then why is your robe all loose?"
"I guess it got loose from walking around with the both of you." She said. I had a lot more questions but I didn't want to ask her. It seemed like she was telling the truth, so I kept those questions to myself. We talked for hours and hours about things we liked, and she even told be some things about the studio and the people. By the end of the day, I made a new friend.
