13: Don't Get Things Mixed Up

A/N: Tap on the picture above to see Jennifer's look during the shoot.

Kola had left home before Jennifer the next day so she wasn't surprised when she got to the location where they were to shoot and saw him there. Jennifer couldn't lie to herself about not being anxious about the whole stuff. She had gone through the script and already knew what was in for her. She had to make herself basically pretend not to be affected by Kola's touch.

"Look who is here, and late too," Kola said to her with a smile immediately she stepped into the building. She looked up at the stairs that was still being staged by the set designers. She could see Caleb at another end, busy with talking with one of the photographers who was standing just next to his mounted camera.

Jennifer quickly turned back her attention to Kola who was expecting a reply from her.
"Don't start now, I was delayed by traffic okay."

"Look, I know you're nervous. I'm also nervous too but trust me, we're going to kill this shoot," Kola confidently said.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you're so good at making assumptions?" Jennifer asked with raised brows.

"No. But I know I'm good at reading people's expressions so I can tell that you're nervous right now. It's clearly written all over you," Kola replied.

"Look here," Jennifer boldly said, pointing a finger at Kola. "I'm a professional okay and I've done enough shoots to get used to it all so just stop saying that I'm nervous because I'm not."

"I've heard a lot about you and I'm aware you've done enough adverts and all. But then, did you ever get to do any of those shoots with your crush?" Kola asked and Jennifer went quiet.

"I thought as much," Kola smirked, infuriating Jennifer the more.

"Just watch and see me in action," Jennifer fired back.

"I can't wait," Kola said with a smile.

"The both of you are here," Caleb said as he came over to meet them.

"Yeah, I just arrived," Jennifer tried to smile as she spoke to Caleb.

"We're starting very soon. You both need to change into your costume. We have just about thirty minutes for that," Caleb said before calling two other ladies over. He instructed them to take Jennifer and Kola to the dressing room which they did.

One of the ladies carried Kola to another part of the room while the other girl helped Jennifer to get dressed and another lady almost simultaneously did Jennifer's makeup. In about thirty minutes time, Jennifer was fully dressed and looking breathtakingly beautiful. She was putting on a black, sleeveless top and a brown skirt that had a slit. Her lips were stunning red.

When she was finally released from the room, she walked back to the room that was meant for the shoot to meet Kola smartly dressed up and already waiting. Kola saw her just in time as she walked into the room and couldn't help but ogle at her stunning look.

"Would you stop staring already," Jennifer said to him, averting her eyes from his piercing gaze.

"Can you blame me? I really can't help it you know," Kola truthfully said and Jennifer couldn't just help but marvel at the way he boldly speaks out, daring any consequences at all.

Jennifer was short of words and couldn't reply him so she was grateful when she saw Caleb walking towards their direction.

"You're both ready I see." Caleb looked between the two of them. "Let's move over," he added and pointed towards the stage. Jennifer walked behind Kola and Caleb as they went closer to the stage.
