The lost son ~John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer

57. Why must I be a teenager in love?

Clara was still talking to Maggie, while her mom was sitting with Flea at a table near the bar.

- Hey girls, are you getting along?

I walked up to Mag and Clara and asked.

- Oh yeah, your friend is awesome! She looks like you, she even behaves like you. She's hot!

Clara said.

- Aww, thanks! You're so nice to me!

Maggie exclaimed and hugged her. I just smiled.

- I already told Maggie, but you haven't heard it yet. I've decided I want to be a photographer. I want to with with fashion designers. I don't want to post my pictures only on Instagram for the rest of my life. I've talked to Anthony and he said it was a great idea and he helped me find my first client. He's a local designer from LA. I need 2 models, a male and female one. And you guys are the perfect candidates.

- Are you joking? No way I'm gonna do this.

I replied.

- Josh, Maggie, please! You're 5'11 and you're 5'9. You've got perfect bodies. Maggie has got a beautiful baby face and gorgeous hair and you, Josh, can wear a hood.

- Oh fuck you!

I snapped at her. Clara laughed and wrapped her arms around the both of us.

- I wanna do this. I wanna overcome my shyness.

Maggie said.

- Are you sure?

I asked her.

- Yeah. Imagine the faces of those bitches who make fun of me telling me I'm too skinny. It could help you too. Let's do it together.

Mag tried to convince me.

- I don't know. I don't wanna wear some stupid clothes that aren't my style.

- If they weren't your style, I wouldn't even ask. I already saw them and they're great. Mostly black and gray, really hipster.

Clara said.

- That doesn't sound too good.

I told her.

- Just say yes, please.

Maggie looked me in the eyes and said.

- Okay, I'm gonna do this... But only for Mag.

I finally agreed.

- He loves you, girl. He wouldn't have done that for any other women. I know what I'm saying.

Clara winked at Maggie and whispered to her. Mag blushed.

- Um, let's see what your mom is doing.

I said and grabbed Maggie's hand.

- Josh, please look at me.

Mag said.

- What is it?

I asked.

- I'm sorry. You don't have to do it if you don't want to. I just thought it would be cool... But if you're not comfortable with...

- Shh, it's okay. It's not like I haven't done any shoots before. And if you want to do it, I'm down for it. I really care about you, Maggie.

I said and hugged her.

- I care about you too.

She replied. We went up to Flea and her mom. They were having some drinks.
