Chapter 11 : Photoshoot

POV Cammie

Today we visit another amazing place called la Playa de los Catedrales. It is crazy amazing: a beach with some big cliff doing rock arches like if it was built by men. I take a lot of pictures. Shannon is always with me, we talk a lot, mainly casual conversations. We take a bunch of selfies. I can hear Rose and Rosie teasing us sometimes and it makes me laugh. Life feels so easy right now, being with my friends, enjoying holidays. I mean, I still struggle in my head with lot of conflicting feelings but I manage to shout them off during day to enjoy completely my holidays. I took a lot of videos too; I'll definitely make a vlog about this trip when I'll get home.

Shannon is next to me, watching the sea intensely. She looks like a Greek goddess, I start to take pictures of her. I try different angles before she realizes what I am doing.

(Shannon) Hey! Did my agent allowed you to take those pictures?

(Cammie) Sorry madam, I'm just an artist and I thought you were a perfect model for my new collection of photography...

(Shannon) Mmm, you'll have to give me money for that, sorry.

(Cammie) Can we do a collab and share the benefits?

(Shannon) God no, what a terrible idea, I want money now.

Shannon just starts laughing and I laugh with her.

(Shannon) Ok, I have a better idea. You pose for me and then we are even?

(Cammie) sounds fair... ok

She then starts to pictures me. She looks so professional right now. All I can't think about is how cute she is, focus on her camera, frowning. After some time she asks our friends to do the same with them and we stay here for an hour, posing for her.

POV Shannon

I really enjoy taking pictures. It has been a big part of my life last few years so now I bother everyone to use them as model. They don't seem to complain. I enjoy the process of photography, finding an angle, using all the possibilities of the camera to create a picture as a piece of art and not just a banal capture of a moment. The hardest model to work with is Cammie, because she is so beautiful I don't know what detail, what angle to choose for the pic. After an hour, I feel my friends are getting bored and I say that I am ok and we can go.

(Rose) I hope you realize the effort we make for you just to take discretely pictures of Cammie Scott Miss Beveridge

(Me) What?

(Rose) You don't fool anyone, the looks you give her...

(Me) Shut up. I was really just enjoying making pics of all of you guys

(Rose) But even more taking pictures of Cammie Scott

(Me) ...

I give her a half angry look and finally laugh.

(Rose) I mean, I am not jealous but you look at her the way everyone is staring at me: with admiration and love.

(Rosie) Who look at you with admiration and love babe?

(Rose) Everyone...

I let them argue for fun and go close to Cammie again.

(Cammie) This place was insane!

(Shannon) Yeah. I hope the pictures will look good

(Cammie) Judging by the progress you made past few years and your work with Cary especially I have no doubt about it.

(Shannon) You're too nice

(Cammie) It is true!

(Shannon) You're still too nice.

(...)

It is around 10pm and Cammie is in my bedroom. We are watching together the pictures I took today.

(Cammie) Woo Shan those pictures are really great!

(Me) Thanks. I was worried but I am happy with it

(Cammie) SO many pictures of me though, I'm not used to it

(Me) Haha, because you are a perfect model I mean look at you and this angelic face

(Cammie) Who is the nice one now?

(Me) Come on Cam, you're like one of the most beautiful women I ever met in my entire life if not the most

I can't stop staring at her and she stares me back. The entire world rights now are those insanely beautiful green eyes and those lips I want to kiss so bad. My heart is beating fast. We are in a bubble, the time is suspended. I approach my head to hers. I can't tell if she wants me to kiss her or if she is completely afraid that I would do it... Probably both... Just like me... I can't do it, and I went too far to stop now. It feels like an eternity before I succeed to finally move.
