Cyber: A Ricky Dillon Story

Chapter Thirteen

"Ricky! Jc!" Kian yelled through the house as Hannah and I drug in the bags and boxes of supplies.

"Hey ladies, what's shakin'?" Jc said from the kitchen as he put away some dishes.

"Just struggling carrying heavy things," Hannah said sitting a box on the counter.

"Well good I would hate to enable you guys," Ricky laughed coming around the corner.

"Well I picked out clothing for you guys! Whatever jeans you wanna wear are fine but I have to approve accessories and I will be adjusting your hair and make up," Hannah said handing each of the boys a bag.

"Whoa there little lady! Make up!" Kian yelled as he began to dig through his bag.

"Come on dude! It's just some anti glare, translucent powder. You won't even be able to tell," Hannah argued.

"I'll guess I'll go with it," Kian shrugged heading toward the stairs to change.

"Hey guys, we're doing a photo shoot with these losers!" Jc said said waving his phone around.

"Umm?" Hannah pointed to Jc in confusion.

"Snapchat," Ricky said as he headed back toward his bedroom.

"It's just something fun, kinda like vlogging but shorter and easier." Jc headed off toward his room.

"Vlogging?" I said confused as I helped unpacked a bag of make up.

"Video blogging?" Hannah set up a few expandable lights.

"No I know what vlogging is. But why are they vlogging?"

"Their YouTubers?"

"YouTubers?" I said confused sitting on the couch next to where Hannah was setting the lights up.

"Yeah? Like they make YouTube videos and what not for a living?"

"I know what YouTubers are but I just didn't know," I said pulling my phone out but resisting the urge to log on to Cyber.

"Can you go check on the guys? I wanna make sure they aren't over accessorizing."

"Yeah, sure." I stood up sitting my purse and phone on the kitchen counter.

"Ricky's room is the double glass doors around the corner and Jc and Kian are upstairs, just knock and check on them."

I rounded the corner almost running into Ricky as he headed out of his room. "Hey!" he said with a smile.

"Hey, I was just supposed to check on you and the other guys." I stepped back looking at the outfit Ricky had pulled together with the things we had picked out.

"How do I look?" He said doing a twirl, "I love the tank!"

"I picked it out," I smiled.

"Well ya done good," he smiled looking down at his outfit.

"I think that Hannah was setting up for your shoot first, she was thinking something with you leaning up against the stair case or something, I don't know."

"Sounds cool, I guess I'll go check with her," he walked toward the kitchen. "Jc and Kian are up the stairs."

I headed up the few stairs to the second level, only to witness the two boys arguing over if their accessories were too much. "Boys!"

"Please tell Kian that I look awesome!" Jc said taking a step back.

"Please tell Jc that my flower crown doesn't look ridiculous!" Kian said with a smile.

"Jc lose the jacket and Kian tie the flannel around your waist instead of wearing it." The two boys followed promptly, I had come to realize that to please Hannah when it came to fashion that you had to channel your inner Tumblr timeline. "Better! Now get downstairs!" The boys headed down the stairs and I had to admit that I liked being listened to.

"Oh you guys look great!" Hannah gushed as she finished up Ricky's make up and hair. "Thanks Abby!"

"No probs," I smiled as I reached for my phone but pulled back, I couldn't message him. I hadn't come up with a plan yet.

"Ricky head up onto the stair well, while I get the lighting perfect. Kian and Jc listen to Abby she's heading up the make up and hair."

"Got it Captain!" Jc yelled as the two boys took seats at the tall chairs at the counter.

"I feel like I'm being pampered!" Kian shouted in my ear, I refrained from freaking out because I knew from the party that he was naturally loud.

I started to rub some wax into Kians hair and adjust the flower crown to the center. But I couldn't help but stare up toward Ricky on the stairs. I had to admit, he was insanely cute.

"Yo," Kian snapped in my face. "What are you looking at?"

"Sorry," I blushed. "I just got distracted." I finished up his make up and stared on Jc.

"You were looking at Ricky, weren't you?" Jc whispered.

"What?"

"Ricky, you're into him?" Jc smiled, "It's ok, he's single."

"I never said that I was into him," I blushed.

"You didn't have to," he smiled.

"Kian you're up!" Hannah yelled as I finished up with Jc, I was thankful that he had chosen a beanie, it was a lot less work.

The rest of the photo shoot felt like a blur. Hannah worked quickly, she quickly shot each guy individually and a few shots together. Before I knew it we were packing up and the guys were changing into lazy clothes.

"Pizza?" Jc asked pointing at Hannah and I as we finished packing up that last box.

"Sure!" Hannah smiled, nudging me in the arm.

"Yeah that would be cool," I smiled.

"Kian order some freaking pizza!" Jc yelled up the stairs.

"We're gonna take this stuff to the car and we'll be right back," Hannah and I grabbed the boxes and supplies dragging them back to the car. "This is your chance!"

"My chance?"

"Your chance to get to know Ricky!" Hannah said slamming the trunk closed, "You're welcome!"

"Mystery man?" I questioned.

"Mystery man is on the internet, Ricky is real and right in front of you. Just see what happens!"

I paused for a moment before heading back into the house. It was easier said than down, to just see what happens. I headed in slowly and rounded the corner to see the guys taking a selfie on my phone in the kitchen.

"Hey!" I said pointing and laughing.

"We're just giving you a new screen saver!" Kian laughed.

"Thanks I have been meaning to replace mine," I laughed as Ricky handed my phone back with a new screen saver of the three boys smiling. I couldn't help but smile back at it, like an idiot.

[A/N: The photo on the side is supposed to be the selfie that the boys took on Abby's phone, so take a peek over there -->]
