Chapter 2: Photo-shoot

Chris could not believe he was going to actually go to this photo-shoot. He didn't come back in time to have a job or have fun, he had come back in time to save Wyatt and that was all. After all he didn't want to change the time line that much and he was definitely going to change the future if there are pictures of him in the past.

At least that is what the logical part of him kept on saying. Every other part of him kept on screaming at him to live a little. So that was why he was entering this building getting ready to model underwear of all things. Just like him to skip right over regular clothes and go straight down to the draws.

Chris had entered the elevator and pressed the top button. It was a weird location for a photo-shoot it was on the roof of a fifty story sky scraper. Then again Chris knew absolutely nothing about the fashion industry, after all in his time you wore what ever you could find. There was no going to the malls and buying the fancy shirts and expensive jeans.

Chris was brought out of his gloomy thoughts when the elevator stopped and opened to the roof. Chris let out a gasp. He was staring at one of the most beautiful sights he had ever seen. The roof had a perfect view of the bridge, and in this light it almost glowed. No wonder they were having the photo-shoot there.

Before Chris could even think about what he should do next he was grabbed from behind by Derrick and was dragged to the dressing rooms. "Thank god you're here the other guy that was supposed to model today hasn't shown up so guess what you're it." Chris was shocked he couldn't do this by himself he had thought that he would be taking pictures with many people. "Don't worry you'll be fine. We'll start off with the lounge wear and then down grade to a wife beater and boxers. Then we will take some pictures of you in boxer-briefs and to rap it up we'll take some pictures of you in the trunks (kind of like boxer-briefs accept shorter)." That didn't help calm Chris down at all.

Chris was about to say that he couldn't do this when Derrick started to beg him. "Please Chris I really need you to do this. I need to give them their photos tomorrow and I have no other model but you. Please I'll do anything!!!"

At this Chris smiled and said "Okay but you have to take me out to diner. Oh and it has to be somewhere good too." Derrick smiled and gave Chris a quick kiss and said thank you. He gave Chris a pair of light blue sweats with a grey stripe down the middle and said "Put these on and then we'll get started." With that said he left the room so fast that Chris didn't even know how he had gotten suckered into this.

God was he cold, being seven in the morning with no shirt on and a few stories up was not the best idea he had ever had. He was sitting on the edge of the roof with a coffee cup and a news paper pretending to be reading while Derrick was taking pictures of him, only stopping sometimes to tell Chris to lift his head a little or to lower the newspaper.

Thirty minutes later and three roles of film later Derrick finally stopped. "Damn. You're a natural." Chris blushed under the praise. Derrick grinned and said "okay here go change into these." Handing him a pair of Dark green boxers and a green muscle shirt. "Once you're done go down one floor and meet me in apartment 894." Chris did as he was told and changed into the boxers and shirt. He looked at himself and was shocked at the way the shirt brought out his eyes. Shaking his head he left the changing room and went to join Derrick in the apartment.

Derrick took these pictures in the small kitchen. Another thirty minutes later and Derrick was telling him to change into a pair of black boxer-briefs. Chris was embarrassed to say the least. There he was lying on the couch while Derrick was taking pictures of him from above. What made it worse was that Chris kept on noticing Derrick would stop taking pictures and just stare at him. This part of the shoot took forty-five minutes.

When Derrick said he was done with this part Chris knew what was coming next and dreaded it. Derrick only smiled at his nervousness and gave him the small black trunks and a black silk shirt. Chris was shocked he didn't know he was going to have a shirt with the trunks. "Leave the shirt unbuttoned. Oh and it is coming off later on in the shoot."

Chris was changing when he heard the call from Piper. Shit what the hell did she need now? He quickly stuck his head out of the changing room and told Derrick that he was going to the bathroom. With that done he closed the door and orbed.

Piper was frustrated. She had all this work to do and no one to look after Wyatt. Phoebe was getting ready and then would be leaving to her job, and Paige couldn't do it because she was at her temp job. So she was resorting to her last choice. "Chris!!! Get down here right now." She stopped yelling when she heard the familiar jingle coming from behind her. She turned around to see Chris form out of the orbs. "What do you want Piper."

Piper couldn't answer him all she could do was open and close her mouth. There was her whitelighter wearing a black silk shirt unbuttoned showing off an impressive six pack. And a pair of black shorts that were so short that they only went an inch or two down the leg. When she finally could speak again she said "Did I interrupt something?"

Chris finally noticing what he was wearing blushed and said "Yes you did." Piper laughed and said "With a certain blonde hunk?" Chris turned an even darker red and mumbled something. Piper laughed and said "Huh what couldn't hear you?" Chris sighed and said a little louder "Yes." Piper started to say something when she heard someone beside her say "WOW" Chris and Piper turned to see Phoebe standing in the doorway staring at Chris.

Much to Chris's discomfort Phoebe yelled "Paige come here you have got to see this." Paige orbed into the room and said to Phoebe "what do you want I'm going to be late." Phoebe didn't bother saying anything she just pointed to Chris. Paige turned around and froze when she saw Chris.

A few awkward minutes passed before anyone said anything. Paige finally asked why Chris was dressed like that. Piper piped in and said "oh apparently I interrupted him from a certain blonde hunk." Paige just stood there while Phoebe got a dirty smile on her face trying to imagine her whitelighter and the hunk from last night going at it. Chris turned to Piper and said "Since you obviously don't need anything I'm leaving." With that he orbed out.

Piper tried to stop him but he was already gone. She let out a sigh and said "Now who is going to watch Wyatt?"

Chris orbed back into the apartment and got back to business. Derrick took pictures of him standing up with his arms above his head holding a bar. They continued this was for around ten minutes until Derrick told Chris to remove the shirt.. Chris having lost his humility took it off without any protest. Derrick wet Chris's hair and then sprayed Chris's chest with water making it look like Chris was sweating. After another forty minutes of taking pictures. The shoot was over.

Derrick gave him his money and said "See it wasn't that bad was it?"

Chris laughed and said "Oh you owe me so much." Chris paused before saying "you can pick me up at eight." He gave Derrick a quick kiss and went to the changing room. When he was in there he opened the envelope that contained his money and was shocked to see four thousand and five hundred dollars. Chris smiled and thought maybe it wasn't that bad after all.
