Alright, so this pretty much started out as a daydream one night – It's NOT a Splashley fic, I'm sorry NO FLAMES!!! From not warning you because I SO DID! I just got the idea and kinda just ran with it. Tell me what you think! R&R much appreciated! And for those of you who are wondering if I'm continuing on with "Forget It" I AM…it's just a little something called writers block haha. I will continue on with it, once I can figure out in what way I want the story to go…Cheers!
Chapter 1.
We set the scene to Toronto at some high class hotel, which was holding conferences promoting television shows on the N series. The name's Riley. Riley Thomas. I was working as a photographer for one of the top magazines about controversial television shows that are getting high raves from the general public. This was actually my first assignment for the magazine, since I used to be a freelance photographer/writer. I was offered this job by one of my clients who saw "potential" in my work and was asked to come work for him and his magazine. I figured, why the heck not? Considering I was struggling in paying my bills I figured a good steady pay check would be a nice change for once. So I gladly accepted. I had a feeling that this would be a great jump start to my career as a photographer/writer and if it helped pay the bills then why not right? My last conference of the day was to attend the "South of Nowhere/Girltrash!" promotion series created by some director Angela Robinson, who I've quickly researched having done some episodes for the L word and other blockbuster films. As I arrived and began setting up, I see a lot of fans already grabbing seats and the excitement in the room was palpable. I was curious as to why or whom they were all excited for, since after at least 5 conferences that I've been to previously, usually had to do with some hot new star or couple that the fans are always raving about. As I have my camera steady and ready to take pictures, the announcer came on stage and started his greetings to the adoring fans and started introducing everyone into the room. I started to take pictures on my high speed camera. "And next we have…Amanda Musgrave!" My breath stopped as the short brunette entered the room with all smiles. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She looked unbelievable. I soon realised that I was staring and not taking any pictures, so I continued on with the task at hand and started taking pictures of the stunning brunette and the rest of the panel.
Mandy's P.O.V.
I was waiting outside as I hear the fans in the other room cheering as they saw Gabby enter the room and I chuckled to myself. I was so exhausted from all the previous conferences that this was the last one. I took a deep breath as I heard my name being called and started smiling as I entered the room. I waved and greeted everyone as I took a seat on the other side of Angela. I scanned across the room as I see flashes from people's camera's going off. And then I spot a girl in the very back, with an even larger camera directed right at me. Must be some photographer for some magazine, I thought in my head. Just then as the photographer lowered there camera, I realised it was a girl. A not-so-bad looking girl, might I add. Wait. What am I thinking?! I try to erase the thought out of my head as I shake my head lightly. I look up again and our eyes meet. Wait. Was that a grin? I looked away so it didn't seem I caught her staring. But I couldn't help myself in looking back. I looked her over; she was wearing a white long-sleeve dress shirt with a red tie and black tight dress pants, wearing converse shoes. Hmm…I think to myself. I looked into her eyes again and I can see her grin again. Oh my god! Stop staring!! "Mandy? Mandy?!" "Huh? What? Sorry, haha what was the question again?" as I flashed my Musgrave smile. Everyone in the room laughed, who can deny the Musgrave smile, I mean really? Trying to push the thought of the girl out of my head, I concentrated back on the questions being aimed at me from the fans.
Riley's P.O.V.
As I lowered down my camera, I couldn't help but notice that the girl Mandy was staring right at me. I couldn't help but grin back at her. I guess I must've embarrassed her because she looked away, but then I see her look back at me and started to check me out. I couldn't help but smirk back again as I caught her eyes again. I chuckled even more when the girl didn't seem to realise that she was being asked questions by one of the fans there. I guess she caught on as to what was being asked of her and flashed them this…this…I don't even know how to explain it. This adorable smile with dimples embedded clearly on each side of her cheeks. I started to take more pictures of her and the panel as the conference continued on. Forty-five minutes have passed and I realise that it was just about over. As they answered the last question for the evening and telling the fans that there are some great gifts outside of the door for them, the fans cheered as I took a few last shots of the fans and the panel and of the brunette, I turned around and started to pack up my things. I could feel brown eyes staring at me from behind, I grinned again to myself, but didn't bother turning back around, after all, I am a professional, and I'm not one to make the first move either. Minutes later, I feel a shadow over me and a hand on my shoulder, "Hi..."
