Fifty shades of Beaumont // Randy

Chapter 3

'Mr. Fowler, we meet again.'

Chapter three: photoshoot
Andy's point of view.

"But what was he doing at Rollins?" Brook's curiosity was heard trought the phone. I was in the stock room trying not to freak out when I was on the phone with Brook to let him know what just happened.

"He was in the area." I told him.

"Stop lying to yourself Andy, don't you think he was there to see you?" He speculates. My heart skipped a beat at the thought, but it's a short - lived joy. Disapointing reality is that he was here for business.

"He was just around for business." I mutter. "But do you still want to do that photoshoot?"

"Of course I do but the question is who's going to do it and where?" Brook asks.

"We could ask him where. He said he's staying in the area." I told Brook.

"You can contact him?" Brook asked surprised.

"He gave me his phone number." I said znd can hear Brook gasps trought the phone.

"The richest, smartest, biggest business man from England who's also extremly good looking gave you his phone number?" He asks surprised.

"Er... Yes."

"Andy he likes you! No doubt about it." His tone is emphatic.

"Brook, he's just trying to be nice." But even as I say the words I know they are not true. Ryan Beaumont doesn't do nice. He does polite, maybe. And a small quiet voice whispers. Perhaps Brook is right. My scalp prickles at the idea that maybe, just maybe, he might like me. After all he did say he was glad Brook didn't do the interview. I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about Ryan Beaumont who may like me when Brook brought me back to the now.

"I don't know who can do the photoshoot, Our photographer Jack is on holiday in spain." Brook said.

"Hmm... what about Mikey?" I ask him.

"Great, you ask Mikey, he'll do everything for you and than call Beaumont and ask him where he wants us."  Brook said.

"I think you should call him?" I said nervous.

"Who? Mikey?" Brook asks.

"No, Beaumont." I said.

"Andy, you're the one with the relationship." He said.

"Relationship?" I squeak at him, my voice rising. " I barley know the guy."

"At least you've met him." He says bitterly. "And it looks like he wants to know you better Andy, just call him."

He snaps and hangs up the phone. He's so bossy sometimes. I just left Mikey a message as John enters the stock room.

"We're kind of busy out there Andy." He said quiet angry.

"Yeah, Ehm... sorry." I said.

"So how come you know Ryan Beaumont?" He asks me.

"I had to interview him for our student news paper, Brook wasn't well." I told him.

"Ryan Beaumont in Rollins, who would believe that." He laughed it off and shook his head as he still couldn't take it in. "Anyway, wanna go for a drink tonight?"

John always asks me out on a date as we're both gay and he knows that. I always make up a good lie or just tell him no. I just don't like the thoughts of dating the boss's brother. And Yeah he's cute but not my type of guy.
