"Oooooh Sean"

"Lizzy wake up!"

"I am awake. We shouldn't be doing this," I said nibbling on his lips.

"Wake up Lizzy!

His hands roamed down my body until I felt myself falling.

"Lizzy are you okay?!"

"Ouch!" I slowly opened my eyes. Why was I on the floor of Sean's guest room when we were suppose to be downstairs in a lawn chair making out?

"Why in the hell are you yelling my name?!"

"Aw maybe because I just found you face down in the bed knocked out telling me ooooh and that we shouldn't be doing something," he said standing next to me.

I looked up and his arms were crossed shaking his head. I quickly got up wiping the slobber away from the corner of my mouth. He shook his head again and turned his back as I got myself together.

"What happened? I could have sworn we were downstairs." I'm blaming it on the alco...alco...alcohol in my Jamie Foxx singing voice.

"You came up here to change clothes and never came back down. I called out for you several times before I came up here. I figured you might have gotten lost."

"Wait, I took a shower and grabbed my clothes. I felt a little lightheaded so I laid on the bed. I walked downstairs, we ate s'mores, we laughed and kissed but this time I didn't stop you." Oops that last part was not suppose to slip from my mouth.

"I think you were dreaming because you never came back downstairs, the s'mores are cold and I would have remembered kissing you."

"You weren't suppose to hear that last part."

He snickered. I did too, me and my bigass mouth.

"If you still want to eat them I can start the pit up again." I got out the bed.

"I'm sorry."

"For what? There's plenty. We have enough peanut butter to feed an army."

I was too out done. I brushed my hair back and put it in a ponytail combing the stray strands until I looked up to see Sean closing in on me. Stepping back I hit the side of the window. He leaned in only inches from my lips. I focused on them, my breathing was calm but my mind was going wild. He leaned in some more with his arms stretched out on each side of me.

My lips moved almost poked out. Were they really trying to get closer without me commanding them? He rubbed his cheek against mine instead. I breathed in his scent closing my eyes. My fingertips tingled to touch him, my palms were starting to sweat and my buds felt swollen and hard against the inside of my bra.

He pulled back just looking at me. I could feel his eyes tracing over the outline of my body. I felt the throbbing between my legs. One touch was all I needed to bring me satisfaction.

"You can open your eyes. Don't worry I won't touch what's not mine," he said backing away. I opened my eyes in disappointment.

My phone started to ring. He passed it to me without even looking at it. I had to get myself under control. It rang again so I shook off the thoughts that were running rampant in my head.

"Hell...o?"

"Hey sweetheart. Is everything okay?" Aries asked on the other end of the phone.

"I'm fine."

"You sound out of breath."

"Just getting out the shower."

"Oh. I saw you on television. You looked beautiful and I heard you stole the show after the story Sean told."

"Oh yeah."

"I can't wait to have you on my arm looking all fine. I will admit I was getting jealous knowing you were with him and not me."

"Awe don't be like that. It was a nice event." I looked up to see Sean standing across from me silent.

"I miss you Lizzy. I wish I could show you."

"I'll be home the day after tomorrow."

"I'll be in Milwaukee. Training Camp has officially started."

"So I won't see you until..."

"At least three weeks," he said with a sigh.

"Wow."

"I'll make you a deal. When you come home on Monday I will be waiting and I will just leave on Monday night. You're my girl and it's going to be hard not to talk to you like normal. I love you Lizzy."

I smiled. "Okay I will see you on Monday afternoon. Luvya too." We said our goodbyes and I hung up.

"You need to get some sleep. I have that photoshoot early in the morning so a car will be here at six. I'll see you in the morning," Sean said giving me a kiss on the cheek and walking away. He seemed bothered but he walked out the door before I could stop him.

I sat on the bed and put my face in my hands letting out a deep breath. Life had a way of playing crazy tricks on you. One minute I was feening for Sean and the next I couldn't wait to see Aries.

I crawled in the bed and turned off the light. I laid there in darkness staring at the ceiling. Something was being knocked over so I got out of bed and walked over to the window.

I saw Sean throwing away the s'mores and drinking a beer. He looked disgusted picking up a huge trashcan. I didn't mean to lead him on. I wasn't trying to be a flirt and I never wanted to hurt him. He sat down tying up the bag while I touched the glass on the window.

He picked up his phone and started to talk. His expression was more of pissed off but it suddenly changed into a slick over the top expression. He hung up and finished cleaning. A few minutes later I heard the front door chime causing me to jump back. I could hear voices so I peeked out the door.

"Where's your friend?" The female asked.

"She's sleep upstairs."

"We should go for a swim, come on."

I closed my door and ran to the window. My blood started to curdle. I just hated Shae. I watched as she pulled off her top and pulled down her skirt. She was wearing a thong bikini and her hair was pinned up with side curls hanging down. She had fixed her makeup looking freshly made.

She pulled him but he stopped. Putting her arms around his neck she stood on her tippy toes trying to kiss him. He resisted at first but she deepened the kiss and jumped in his arms. She wasn't giving up. Hussie. He walked them to the huge column where she leaned her back against it. Whispering something against his lips he smiled.

Rubbing her fingers through his hair all I could do was stare. I felt water running down my right eye. Was I crying?

He kissed her taking her by surprise. My heart was tightening in my chest leaving me gasping for air. I heard her screaming and watched her kicked him. He raised her up walked over to the pool and threw her in. She came up and then he doved in swimming right up next to her. They played for a moment and he grabbed her pulling her closer.

She closed her eyes with her head leaning back. He kissed her neck while she wrapped her legs around his waist. My eyes began to burn. I had a man but seeing him with her just didn't feel right. She wasn't the one. I closed the curtain and went and got in the bed.

I covered my face with the pillow. I couldn't be mad at him. I was mad at myself. I just laid there resting my head on the pillow.

Moments later I heard the door chime. I stared at the door. I was more than sure he was bringing her upstairs so they could make up. I cried harder. I could hear someone coming up the stairs and a door closed. I could also hear the shower going and I could only imagine what was going on.

It suddenly stopped where I couldn't hear anything. I was numb. Wiping the tears away I heard a knock on my door. Laying down in bed, I continued to wipe tears away clearing my throat. The door opened and closed so I pretended to be sleep.

"Lizzy?"

I didn't answer.

"You're not sleep. I just saw you in the window."

I opened my eyes. He looked at me strange.

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm not...crying."

"You sure about that because your eyes and sinuses say differently."

"Really, Shae?"

"You are jealous?" He said with that crooked smile.

"No I'm not. Don't be silly."

"Don't you have a man?" He came and sat on the edge of the bed. He brushed my bang from my forehead.

"Yes."

"So why were you pulling a peeping Tom?"

"I heard noises."

"No you were being nosy as usual."

"Why are you talking to me, I'm sure she's waiting for you in your bedroom."

He laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

"She's not here."

"What?!"

"I couldn't let her stay no matter how horny I am. I promised myself that the next relationship I'm in will be the woman I plan to marry and start a family with. No more one night stands or short-term relationships. It's time for me to grow up."

I sat up with my knees to my chest. Putting my head down he stopped me.

"It's two am. I have to be ready for six and I know you are not a morning person so maybe I should sleep in here so you will get up on time."

"Any excuse to sleep with me huh?"

"I can always go to my room."

I pulled the covers back and he got in. He raised his arm and I snuggled my face in his chest.

"Did you enjoy the show?"

"The show?" I asked confused.

"You wanted to see my skills, so how did I do?"

"Really? I think they could use some work."

"You know you wanted to play the role of Shae. Just say the word and you can be the star of my next production."

"Can I be the director?" I asked laughing.

"You can be whatever you want," he said kissing the top of my head.

"Good night Sean," I said putting my arm around his chest. He kissed my forehead again and he snuggled up to me turning the light off.

We had gotten up and I was sitting at the bar eating breakfast. Sean was an excellent cook. Ham and cheese omelets, grits and freshly squeezed orange juice. I finished the last of my food and we were headed out the door.

The limo pulled up and we got in. Sean sat on the side of me and I was still tired. Although I had gotten a goodnight's sleep he looked exhausted.

"What's wrong?" I asked looking at him.

He yawned. "I forgot how much you snore in your sleep. I swear you would scare hyenas away. Then on top of that, you slept on top of me rubbing your boobies and curly top against me."

"Haha very funny. Here come lay down." I pulled him down with his head resting in my lap. I brushed his hair back and before I knew it, he was sleep. I leaned my head against the window watching the palm trees and water running down below crashing against the rocks. Sunny California. I heard his phone beep and I saw a text message.

Camp begins in two days. All information will be attached in your email. Any questions please contact Mallory.

He would be out of pocket the same day as Aries. It would be a lonely day.

My phone beeped and a tweet came across. I swiped to it and it was from this fashion magazine called Beautiful. There were pictures from last night's event and there I was with Sean. There were several poses of us and one by myself.

Under the picture it said, Dress designed by Dominique LaSalle and that it fit me perfectly accenting all my assets and they couldn't wait to see what I would be wearing next.

"Next?" I said more to myself. Was I becoming a celebrity? I had to laugh at myself.

The driver pulled up to the studio and I woke Sean up where we were greeted by the photographer assistant Julie. She walked us in and he was right. All my favorite snacks were upon me calling out my name.

"This is Max. He works for SDC as my Talent Agent. He books a lot of my endorsement gigs."

Max held his hand out and I shook it.

"There's a little problem Sean," Max said nervously.

"What's up?"

"We are a model short. Janine's flight has her stuck in Japan."

"And why is this a problem?" Sean asked nonchalantly.

"Janine Stewart is the new face of Calvin Klein, hello she is an up and rising star."

"Don't you have another model here?"

"The shoot will consist of you holding a dumbbell with two gorgeous women instead of weights on each side. We need another girl."

"That's an easy fix," Sean said turning his attention to me. I was putting a slice of melon in my mouth.

"Has she ever modeled before?"

"No but Lizzy can take direction well and she's way more beautiful than that Janine girl. She's healthy and I would want a healthy model over an unhealthy skinny model any day."

"I will ask the photographer," Max said walking off.

"Excuse me, you do know I'm not a model right?"

"It's easy. Just follow the photographers lead and have fun. I think you will be great."

"Mr. Gipson we are ready for you," some assistant said coming to escort Sean.

"Elizabeth Johnson?" I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see Max and a very handsome man with a camera.

"I'm Jason Vernon and I'm the photographer for the day. I saw your pictures on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and since Janine is stuck I think you would make a nice replacement."

"I've never modeled before. I'm not sure if I would make a good model."

"Nonsense. The pictures I saw, the camera loves you. Tiffany here will escort you to the dressing room and help you get change then send you to hair and makeup."

"I don't know."

"Just think of it as having fun and being five thousand dollars richer."

"Five thousand you said."

"Yes, is that a problem?"

"No, no, no that's fine."

"We just need you to sign some contracts and then you will be ready to go," Max said. I followed him and he explained everything to me. I signed and then I was carted off.

A hour later I was in a skintight bathing suit with my hair in bouncing curls and red high top Converse tennis shoes. Sean walked out with some skintight trunks and white chucks. His muscles were ripped and not an ounce of fat was anywhere. My Hercules. He looked over at me and winked. Another model Francesca walked out wearing the same outfit I had on. She was skinny and blonde, I swear you could probably see her food disgusting in her stomach.

"Okay everyone let's get this party started," Jason said. I could hear Jay Z playing in the background.

Two hours later and three costume changes later I was putting on the last outfit of the day. It was a long red flowing gown with a split up to my waist. The tall pumps were way too big, I wore a size eight and a half but these were tens. I walked slowly realizing it was just going to be Sean and I.

"Okay last take of the day you ready?" Jason asked. I smiled and he helped me up.

"Man you look awesome. Are you and Sean a couple?"

"No we are just bestfriends."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Actually I do."

"Well he's one lucky guy. If you are ever looking for a new one let me know," he said smiling and laughing.

"I will keep that in mind."

He brought me outside where Sean was wearing a tux. He looked like a supermodel the way he was dressed and looking like Beckham. Turning around he had this huge smile on his face. I started to giggle.

"Lizzy, damn you look sexy."

"I think it shows a little too much in the boob area don'tcha think?"

"Not at all. This is LA, believe me I have seen a lot worst. You have been doing so well today I'm proud of you."

"You think so?"

"Yeah. I think Jason wants to use you for his next job."

"Stop lying!"

"I'm serious. Max wants to represent you."

"I have a life and this isn't it."

"Well just think about. Thanks for helping me out today."

"Okay people let's get this done so we can go home," Jason called out.

"I want you two to pretend you're dancing. Get in real close and I want you to put your arms around his neck and I want your hands to hold her by the waist."

We did as he asked as he snapped the pictures.

"I want you to stare into each other's eyes like a romantic couple. I want you to pretend to sway to the music."

We did as I heard him say, "good job," snapping more pictures.

"Dip her and pretend to kiss her."

I looked at Jason with fear in my eyes. I looked back at Sean.

"You don't have to do it."

"No it's okay."

He twirled me around, dipped me and our lips touched for just a moment. I closed my eyes putting my hand against his cheek.

"Cut! Perfect!" Jason called out.

Sean pulled back and I felt all alone in that brief moment.

"Excellent. I can't wait to show the editor, I think they will be pleased. I was talking to Max and Sean and I think you would be perfect for a showcase coming up next month. A new and upcoming designer just won a contest and she wants fresh faces. No size zero models allowed she said. Would you be interested?"

"I live in Louisiana not LA."

"No biggie. All you need is a plane ticket and Max can take care of that. I can send you the information look over it and get back with me by Friday. I hope you say yes. I gotta go but I will be in touch. Thanks."

He walked off leaving us standing there.

"I took a picture of you in this dress and Katen Stanfond, the designer, said you looked great and you can have the dress," Max said grinning.

"Really?"

"Yep and I would love to represent you. We can feed off last night and today's shoot. It will be fun."

"I have a job."

"Understandable. This would be just for fun for now."

"Okay I will think about it."

"Good," Max said smiling walking away.

"I'm beat. Modeling takes so much out of me," Sean said laughing.

"Ah hush," I said slapping his shoulder.

"Ouch!"

"Baby!"

We walked back in the dressing room to change. The other model was long gone. I quickly changed and was headed to the buffet table.

"Ready?" Sean asked with a dress bag across his arm.

"Only if we can get some real food."

"I know what you mean let's go."

The driver drove off and Sean reached me an envelope with my name on it. I opened it and it was the check they promised.

"A few hours of standing around not really doing anything and I make five grand."

"Actually Janine would have made ten thousand so you saved them some money."

"This is ridiculous. It was too easy."

"Then that means you were perfect."

"If you say so." I said laughing.

"At least I can buy you a bacon cheeseburger with shoestring fries."

"Sounds good to me." He told the driver and we went headed for cheeseburger glory.
