Bucket List of a LIfetime

Chapter 4

I brought some pizza I didn't have a chance to eat. Is everything okay Lavender said that you left upset earlier?

There was a fire down town and there were some firemen injured and one killed. I knew one of the firemen injured and the one who was killed. I just left the hospital.

I am sorry about your loss. How is the friend that was injured?

He has a concussion, screws in his shoulder and a metal rod in his leg. He will never be firemen again. He was in the recovery room when I left. I am going back to see him tomorrow when he maybe won't be so groggy. It was always his dream to be a fireman like his dad and then eventually a fire marshal.

Life has a way of leading us down a different path sometimes. I had planned on being career army, but ended up with a medical discharge because of my knee. Now I am really happy doing something that I really love. Now let's go eat some pizza and then I will let you pose me any way that you want to help you get your mind off of things for a little while.

I am on board with that. How do you feel about posing nude?

I have never been ashamed to be naked. Just don't take advantage of my innocence.

What innocence? I have heard a few stories about you and Brian with women. I believe my favorite one was with the twins.

That was five years ago and I have settled down and so has Ryan. I think that he may be crushing on my sister.

Honestly I think they have something going on and just don't want anyone knowing about it.

I have had that feeling lately too. I questioned Ryan about it and he denied everything.

I will drag it out of Georgie our next girls night. I will buy her favorite wine and she will spill all of her secrets. I lead Simon upstairs to my studio where I happen to have Rory stored. Thank God for service elevators. I have the top floor of a renovated warehouse as my studio/apartment.

You have a nice place here. How long have you lived here?

This has been my studio for seven years. I permanently moved here two years ago. It was easier staying here when I was having all the chemo treatments. I just stayed because it became home.

Where can I sit the pizza?

You can put it on the coffee table. Would you like a beer or I have bottled water?

Beer would be great thank you.

I walk into the kitchen grabbing two beers carrying one to Simon who is on the couch eating a slice of pizza.

I grab a slice of pepperoni pizza and sit down beside him. We eat in silence as I think about what poses I want to get Simon into.

How do you want me first Simon asks when we finish eating?

Shirt off sitting on Rory I say motioning to my covered motorcycle.

She is a beauty Simon says when he takes the cover off. I snap him a few pictures of him running his hands over the bike in appreciation. How do you want me?

What ever feels natural to you? I watch Simon relax before I start focusing the camera. The last picture I take of Simon on the bike is of him stretched out on the bike with his eyes closed.

Okay let's take a break.

How do you want me next?

I want you sprawled across my bed with a sheet barely covering you.

We work several more hours. It is after midnight before we stop. I am exhausted. I can't wait to get the pictures edited.

I need to be heading home. I have several appointments including yours tomorrow.

Thank you for your time.

Maybe next time you will actually get to see me completely in my birthday suit Simon says with a sexy wink.

You haven't got anything that I have never seen.

Then maybe next time I can take your picture sprawled across Rory with nothing but a smile.

I never said that you would get to see me naked. I will see you tomorrow be careful goinghome.
