My life with you
Chapter 10: Success
Thank you to everyone who is supporting this story. I was suppose to update earlier but something was wrong with fanfiction and I couldn't open my account at all.
I might not be able to update weekly any more but I will try my best.
I need a few suggestions on what else they can do in the states, please give me some.
Half way through the shoot the photographer decided to stop. He felt like there was something missing in the shoot and he just can't figure out what it is.
"Utau, do you know what's happening?" Amu asked as she and Utau took their seats.
"I'm not sure either." Utau replied and took a sip of her water. Amu was a bit nervous that she did something wrong and she didn't reach his standards. Utau had to hold her hand just to keep her from panicking.
"Deep breaths. Just take deep breaths." Utau said while rubbing her back. Amu clutched the necklace around herneck, which was given to her by Ikuto, that she was able to wear since it went well with her outfit. She just really needed to hear from Ikuto right now, just for some reassurance. A few minutes later the photographer started barking orders to everyone that the shoot will continue and that he also solved his problem. The make up artist dragged the two of them back to the chairs and fixed their make up.
"I know what's missing!" The photographer said as he went to where Amu and Utau were sitting.
"What is it?" Sai asked since the two girls couldn't really move or talk that much.
"Boys!" The photographer kind of yelled out load. Amu's eyes immediately snapped open after he said that.
'Oh no' Amu thought in her head. She was getting worried and scared, she was pretty sure she was going to mess up this shoot since she didn't know the boys the photographer got. Utau immediately grabbed her hand and started stroking her knuckles trying to calm her down. Once the make up and hair stylist was done Amu left her seat and went to the ledge of the building to look out and onto the streets. The roof of the building has been transformed for this photo shoot, every things from lights to table and even food where found.
'Ikuto' Amu closed her eyes and took a deep breath while grasping her necklace. She didn't want to do this shoot if it was a different guy because one it will make the guy hit on her, two she was scared to mess up and three she just doesn't feel comfortable having to model with someone she doesn't know anything about.
'How can this be happening to me….." Amu was really getting nervous. She knew she had to do it because it will make her look bad if she didn't but she would rather look back then to mess up big time.
'I need to do this. For Ikuto, Utau, Artuo, Souka and the company' Amu tried to give herself a pep talk, in hopes it will work. If it weren't for any of them then Amu wouldn't be here at the moment. She would be back in Japan just being lazy and doing nothing around the house. They were the reason why Amu was able to try different field at such an early age and go to different countries. She was able to try culinary, pastry, fashion design, modeling and even a few business related things. She was also able to discover what she wanted for college, she knew it wouldn't be business but arts. She loved the arts so much; she loved to model, to bake, to cook, to sketch even to perform with Utau back home it truly made her happy.
"Amu, are you alright?" Utau asked and placed a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder. Amu looked at her and gave a small smile. Utau let go of Amu and leant against the railings as well.
"I just don't want to look back because I don't know the guy." Amu replied.
"I know your scared but I'll be here. I'm going to call someone I'll be back." Utau said and left Amu by herself. She just continued to look over the wall and look through the scenery. The photo shoot got set back a few minutes due to the other models still need to get ready. Amu hoped that the photo shoot would be postponed to the next day so she can make up an excuse for not wanting to anymore. Amu didn't bother to listen to the noise around her any more. She was tired already but she had a lot of fun during this whole experience.
"What is the matter Amu-koi?" Someone whispered into Amu's ear. Amu who wasn't paying that much attention was taken back and thought she was imagining it.
"Must be my imagination." Amu said and shook her head in hopes it will stop her imagination.
"What are you talking about Amu?" Said the voice once more but this time that person wrapped his arms around her waist. Amu was now sure it wasn't her imagination. She immediately turned around and came face to a boy's chest; she looked up and couldn't believe who it was.
"Iktuo!"Amu said and hugged him, burying her face in to his chest. She couldn't help but shed a few tears when she saw him.
"Shh, its okay Amu." Ikuto said and stroked her hair. He pulled her closer and placed a kiss on her head. Amu was so happy to see Ikuto here, in the flesh and not just her imagination. Amu slowly pulled away and looked up at him, there were still a few tears by the side of her eyes but over all she had a smile on her face. Ikuto smiles and leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead before whipping her tears away with his thumb.
"Lets get your make up fix while I go and change." Ikuto said and held Amu's hand. She couldn't help but blush a bit because she knew she was the reason why he needs to change his shirt but she really couldn't help it. Ikuto led her to her make up chair where Utau and Kukai were before leaving and dragging Kukai with him. Amu couldn't help but smile at Utau and hug her. Utau smiled back and hugged her back, she was glad that her best friend was feeling better now.
"Thank you Utau." Amu said once they pulled apart from each other and sat back down on the chair. The make up artist started fixing their make up and hair for the continuation of the photo shoot. Once finished they went to wardrobe for their new outfits and accessories before meeting with the photographer.
"I hope you guys have gotten to know the boys already." The photographer said as they approached them.
"Yes" The girls replied with a smile on their face. A few minutes later Ikuto and Kukai finally arrived all dressed in their new outfits. The two boys approached them and wrapped their arms around their respective girls waist. The photographer was a bit shock with the guys action and the girls reaction to them hugging.
"Did I miss something?" The photographer asked. The four of them smiled at the photographer before laughing a bit.
"They are our boyfriends." Utau replied with a smile.
"Oh, that makes it better!" The photographer said with a smile on his face. He barked out a few orders to the people to fix the lighting and the set. A few minutes later the shoot continued and there didn't seem to be any problems. The only time any of them stopped was when they had to change outfit, do a touch up, and check the photos and to drink water. It didn't take that long till the photo was over and time for the four of them to head home and have dinner. All the clothes they wore for the photo shoot where all packed up in 4 luggage, 2 for Amu and Ikuto while the other 2 were for Utau and Kukai. Sai lead all of them to the entrance where the driver and the car were waiting for them. They said their goodbyes and even gave Sai a copy of their album, which they signed.
Back at the hotel Souka and Artuo have arranged a private dinner for all 6 of them in one of the function/ballrooms of the hotel. They where so proud with the review they got from the photographer, who called them once the children left. They wanted to celebrate their success, especially Amu's. She made them and her parents, who called Souka and Artuo, very proud. They sent a text message to Ikuto and Utau that they would wait for them in the room and they should just leave their things with the front desk.
"I'm so proud of them." Souka said to Artuo. The two of them where sitting down and waiting for the kids to come. The whole time the kids where away they where spending sometime with their friends and relatives.
"Yes, they did so well today. I was a bit worries about Amu but it seemed that it became better when Ikuto and Kukai showed up." Artuo replied wrapping an arm around Souka's shoulders. She leaned closer and placed her head on Artuo's shoulder. She was a bit tired from today because her relatives kept on bringing her to different stores. She was glad that they where happy but they were a bit over enthusiastic to see, she was able to do some shopping though for everyone. The door suddenly opened followed by a waiter who was leading Ikuto, Amu, Utau and Kukai.
"Hi mom, dad." Utau and Ikuto said the same time and approached their parents. The two of them stood up and hugged their children. Kukai and Amu soon followed and gave them hugs as well.
"I'm so proud of you Amu, you did great even your parents are proud of." Souka told Amu when they pulled away from their hug. Amu couldn't help but be surprised that Souka talked to her parents and she just hugged her again.
"Good job all of you. You can all sleep in tonight we won't be busy till late afternoon." Artuo said. Amu let go of Souka and made her way to where Ikuto was. He pulled her chair for her and she sat down. A few minutes later the waiters came in and started to serve their food. Every one ate and talked about their days, what they did, experiences and memorable moments. It could be seen that everyone was tired from their day today and would all love to hit the bed, but no one seemed to mind the small family time they were sharing all right now.
