The Photographer

Come on Gail, come with us I am sure it's going to be fun and besides you belly come out of the house any more said Traci as she looks in the closest for a nice dress for Gail to wear. It's Friday night why can't we just go to The Penny, get drunk and spend the weekend chilling out said Gail lying on the bed watching Traci trying to find the right outfit for her to wear.

Oliver had invited the gang to come to The Photography Gallery because he wanted to support his girlfriend's friend who was holding the event. He told all of Division 15 crew that everyone was to attend unless they are working that night.

I don't see why I have to come, you lot are going to be there and almost everyone from 15 is going to be there, I am sure he won't even notice that I didn't go said Gail and she covers her face with a pillow. You are the first person he is going to look for said Andy as she walks in the bedroom with three glasses of wine in hand, come on guys we have to leave in the next few minutes if we want to find any parking said Andy as she puts the glasses on the night stand.

Fine I will come but on one condition said Gail as she sits up; I am not wearing a dress. Fine with me said Traci, just get dressed and let's get going before Andy gose cray cray Andy turned around and made funny face at Traci

Thirty minutes later the ladies arrived at the venue. As they walked in they were welcomed by the one of the butlers who offered to take their jackets and directed them towards the open bar.

A: this place is packed

T: I know right

G: So I gave up a night at The Penny to came to see pictures

A: Stop being grumpy Gail, at least they have an open bar right.

They stayed together for a while just looking around until the boys arrived and had a little chit chat and went their separate ways again.

Gail was looking at one of the pictures; it was a picture of a naked woman who was seating on the floor facing the wall. She looked so peaceful and relaxed.

That's one of my favourites said the woman who was standing next to her, Gail turned her head side ways to see who was talking. There was this tall girl/woman. She was wearing tight black trousers, Blue Long Sleeve Chiffon Shirt and black boots. The woman kept on talking but Gail just froze at what she was seeing. The woman introduced herself, commented on what Gail was wearing and just when Gail was about to say something the woman smiled and walked away.

Gail was just standing there with a confused face. Someone just said hello to her and she couldn't answer back. She froze because she was amazed with what she saw. You know when you see someone so dam fine and you get goosebumps all over your body, worse when that person starts to talk to you.

Gail looked around a she sported the woman looking at her and talking to someone. The woman smiled at her again and Gail was just like I think I have a crush on a woman. How can that happen, she doesn't even know her.

Oliver finally showed up and Gail started to lecture him on how its not fair to show up late at an even you invited us.

O: Sorry guys I am a bit late

G: A bit

O: You are thirty minutes late Oliver and you call yourself a boss

T: The important thing is that everyone is here so let's get this party started shall we

O: Yes let's get this party started, before we start I need to find Celery, has anyone see her

C: She is over there

Chris said so pointing to were Celery was standing talking to some people. Oliver started to walk ed over there and stood beside his girlfriend and put his left hand on her waist.

Celery introduced her boyfriend to her friend Holly.

C: Holly this is my boyfriend Oliver

O: We finally meet; I have had so much about you.

H: Hope nothing bad

O: Celery here has been telling about wonderful pictures you take and from what I have seen so far I can say that's true.

H: Thank you thank you. It's hard work but I do try.

As they continued to talk Holly kept on looking at the woman who was a few feet away from where she was standing.

I think that woman over there is in to me said Chris whispering in to Dov's ear.

D: What are you talking about?

C: That woman over there, the one next to Celery.

D: What makes you think that she is in to you?

C: She keeps on looking over here and I am sure she is looking at me

Thank you all for coming and support me on the opening of my Gallery. I didn't except this much of people but I am so happy to know that I have so many people who like the work .

Gail wasn't paying attention to what was being said but as soon as she looked up and saw who was speaking, she got goosbumps all over her body again, she almost dropped her glass.

A: Hey are you okay

G: hmm

A: You look like you have just seen a ghost.

When Holly was giving her speech she spotted Gail in the crowed, her eyes focused on her for a few seconds, smiled and just continued talking.

Chris, Traci, Andy and Gail were standing together talking about leaving already when Oliver showed up again and he heard what they were talking about.

O: You want to go already

G: I want to go home, get drunk and sleep

Just when Chris was about to say something Celery showed up with her friend, she introduce her to the rest of the group.

Thank you guys for coming tonight said Holly with a smile on her face, Holly looked at her with that smile and Gail looked away. They continued talking, about how lovely her Gallery is and what a wonderful job she is doing.

Someone came over where holly was standing and whispered something in her ear and Holly had to excuse herself.

Please tell me I am not the only one who saw that said Chris as he put his hand on Gail's shoulder

Gail was sitting on the bar stools when someone sat next to her

H: Hi,I didn't know you are an officer

Gail turned her head around as she recognised the voice

G: You could have told me you are the photographer

H: I did but i think… I think you were finding it hard to speak

G: I was trying to find the polite words to say

H: Offcorse you were

G: I didn't want to scare you off

H: Don't worry you didn't scare me off and I must say that was cute because the last time I saw someone struggling to speak was in high school.

That's because you are so hot was what Gail wanted to say but she didn't. Instead she just smiled and ordered another drink.

Thy talked for a while until Dov showed up and told Gail they were going to leave in few minutes, then he went back to where everyone was.

H: They say dating is a numbers game... so can I get your number?

G: wow, just wow

H: Sorry

Don't be sorry, I am just shocked because I have never met someone in few hours and ask for my number, unless they want to get in my pants said Gail as she hands Holly her phone. She didn't ague to explain that she is not into girls or anything. She just gave her the phone and Holly type in whatever she was typing in and gave her the phone back.

G: What did you save it as?

H: You gona have to wait till I call you I guess

Gail come on lets go or else you gona have to get a cab, shouted Chris from across the room.

Gail started to walk were her friends were standing.

Since you are friends with miss hot pants there can you introduce me said Chris as he put his hand over Gail's shoulder. No, she didn't even have to think about it. She just said no.

C: Come on why not

Gail G: First because you were rude, ask Celery to introduce you or Oliver

O: Leave me out of your argument please

C: You probably gat her number, so please can I have it. Then I will ask her out.

Just because I was talking to her doesn't mean I have got her number. I don't just go around and ask random people for their number Chris. You have to be friends with someone first then ask them for their number or maybe, maybe they will just give it to you said Gail as she sits on the passenger seat and puts on the seat belt.

If you like this girl so much why don't you man up and ask for her number or ask her out man, say Dov who was seating at the back.

Gail decided to ignore the conviction; instead she started playing with her phone. All of a sudden her phone biped. It was a text massage from an unknown number.

J , that's all it was, a smile face.
