Chapter 1: The hickey

It was winter, such an unbearable cold that day in LA. Evangeline left the hotel in a hurry; she was a little late but even though she arrived on time. She was going to do a photoshoot to the Vanity Fair magazine, with the famous photographer Annie Leibovitz. She was a little nervous; despite she has been photographed several times, she has always had butterflies in her stomach when she does this kind of thing, even more due to the fact that Annie is a renowned photographer.

She had no idea about the theme of the photographs. She had already given an interview to the magazine but she still had to take the pictures. She arrived at the place and went straight ahead to the make-up session; after that, they would take care of her hair. After doing these basic things, Annie decided to talk with Evi.

-I was thinking about how I will photograph you. I have always a rough idea inside my head, but I actually prefer to decide at the moment. I need to watch the person, to catch his/her essence, and then I freely start photographing my model.

-First of all, I would like to say that I admire your work and I'm so pleased to be here sitting for you. Well, I guess I am ready, although I'm just a little nervous…

-Calm down, I like photographing exactly when the person is relaxed. The best pictures usually are those when people look in a natural manner; I don't like that kind of thing of doing a "portrait", it's so artificial…

-So…, do you know how my photographs will be?

-I realized that you are naturally beautiful, you are kind of tomboy, kind of wild, but at the same time, you exhale some sensuality! No wonder you are a success in the show.

-Wow, I am bashful now!

-I'm serious, I want to do a photoshoot considering your sexy side; let me see... if I throw this scarf against your chest and put your hair on one side and…

All of a sudden, when she put away Evi's hair, she stopped talking. She scratched her head, looking seriously and straightly to Lilly's neck. Evi noticed that something was strange and decided to ask:

-Annie, what happened?

-I'd better change my mind.

-What? Why?

-Well, well, don't tell me that you don't know, lady! That's good, you have been enjoying, huh? I wish I could do that; lately, I have been having too much work with the releasing of my photography book that I don't even have time to love adventures.

-What are you talking about?

-What should it be... about the hickey on your neck!

Evi ran towards the mirror and she was surprised to see that she had a hickey. Her life was so messy that she even had no time to look properly at the mirror. It was cold; after bath, she used to wear her clothes quickly and when she looked at the mirror, she was already worn and consequently she hadn't seen her hickey. Completely blushed and embarrassed, she couldn't look at the photographer. Seeing that she was awkward, Annie decided to sooth her.

-Don't be ashamed, come on, everybody went through this before! It's very common, by the way, it's great and it means that things are good for you! I have an idea; why don't you lie at that corner, then I'll put a scarf over your neck and that's it…It would be perfect!

Evi followed her instructions, she was very tense and ashamed, but minutes later, Annie created such a nice ambience that she finally relaxed, posing in a way that the photoshoot became magnificent.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the town…

-Kyle, Byron, where are you?

Matt was walking through the living room, looking for his kids.

-Dad, you came!

Both of them ran to embrace him. Matt had missed his children so much, it had been such a long time since he saw them. Lost shooting was very intense and he only got a holiday now, on that weekend, when he decided to take a break in order to see his family. At the children talking, Margh came immediately to the living room to welcome her husband.

-You finally came here!

-Yeah, the shooting is craziness; I just escape to see you.

Margh gave him a kiss and Matt turned to talk to the children, who couldn't stop telling him the news.

The night fell down and the kids fell asleep. Matt was undoing the bed when Margh embraced him from behind, kissing his back.

-Honey, I missed you!

-I missed you too.

Margh started kissing him, but when Matt noticed her second intentions, he just said he was exhausted and he needed to rest to recover his energies, whereas his flight was stressful. Margh didn't like the idea but she didn't want to bother him right after he was back; therefore she decided to sleep.

Matt was really tired; he closed his eyes, nevertheless he couldn't sleep. He couldn't get Evi's image off his mind. He rolled over in bed, trying to do an effort, but he couldn't forget anything that had happened between them two days ago.
