CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Recap: "I have an idea of how these things go, so there's no need for an explaination."
"Great! So shoot starts in an hour so I expect you two to be dressed and ready, or should I say undressed and ready." Magnus prances away before I can punch him for the stupid comment.
"Go get yourself all prettied up for me. I'll see you in a bit."
You are unbelievable, William Herondale. Unbelievable."
"You love it, don't you."
"In your dreams, Will." Tessa turns and struts off to her private tent. God I can't wait to do this shoot. Will walks off to his own tent with a smile on his face.
Theresa Gray
My make up artist finished applying the smoky eye and a fresh nude lip with a nice flush to my cheeks to make me look sun kissed in the middle of the spring.
I looked at the rack of clothes and sighed. There's at least 35 swimsuits and most of them are bikinis.
I grabbed the one with the first tag and slipped behind my changing screen and stripped down. I slid the suit on and looked at myself in the mirror. The bikini was silver with sparkles and glitter covering the whole thing.
Did I mention that it was a strapless push-up? Because I felt like I might fall out of it if I moved. However when I did move, they just...bounced, no chances of them falling out.
Nope. None.
I slid my silk robe back on and walked out. I did one last check in the mirror. Hair was perfectly straightened and make-up was smokey and sexy with a nude lip. Finally something normal and not too over the top.
Looking at the schedule, it looks like this is going to be a longer day than I thought. There's a play session, 2 individual sessions, and a sexy session.
Great...
I walked out from the safety of my warm tent, feeling the cool air nip at my exposed skin. I walk out and find will standing near the shore, his artist putting powder on his face to most likely reduce the amount of the shine along his face. He's definitely handsome.
More handsome that any of her other partners that she's worked with. Although, Ive never kissed any of my other partners. I have made sultry faces with them, but never kissed them and they've never touched me like Will has or made me feel anything as strongly as Will.
How is it William Herondale has become such a big part of her life when she hasn't known him for that long?
"Tessa! Come on darling! Shoot is starting in five minutes and I need you to be ready on set."
"Coming, Marshall!" Here goes nothing. I slide off my robe and walk out onto the beach. My bare feet feel cold underneath the sand and the air makes me shiver. I soon realize that everyone is looking at me. Including Will. I shouldn't be self-concious right now.
After all, I've done hundreds of these kinds of shoots before, so why am I so nervous right now. I thought about what I was wearing and realized that it must have shocked them. It's definitely more risque than what I usually wear and I'm definitely more natural looking than I usually am.
For the love of God, STOP STARING AT ME. Jeez. You've seen me like this countless times. get over it.
"Oh Tessa! You are a vision!" Marshall's voice came from somewhere in the crowd and I made my way over to Will, arms wrapped around myself trying to create more non-exsiting coverage.
"Just when I think you can't get any more sexy you go and surprise me everytime."
"Good to know that you're so impressed, Will. You're not looking so bad yourself."
"Not so bad? Have you seen this physique? I'm the best partner you've ever had."
"You are good, but you're not the best." Two can play this game, Will and right now, I'm winning.
"Well, looks like I'm gonna have to prove that I'm the best aren''t I?"
"I'd like to see you try."
"Oh believe me I will."
"Can't wait."
I went and had my last minute touch-ups done and I joined my partner on the beach.
Thank God it wasn't one of those cheap commercial ads where Will and I would stand around and look pretty for the ad while holding the product. Instead, it was like any other photoshoot that I've done. We'd just be the models for the product. Easy peasy.
"Alright, my beautiful models! Places! Shoot will start in 2 minutes!"
Taking my place next to Will, I adjusted the ties on my bottoms and swept my hair over my shoulders.
"Ready for me to prove you wrong, Tessa?" I hear Will whisper.
"Bring it on."
"Oh I will. Just wait."
"And it's time to begin! Okay, lovlies. I want you to start out with a playful scene! Act like teenagers on a beach date! That's what I want! So gimme all ya got! And start!"
I start out by running along the beach side with Will chasing after me. I have this playful look on my face and as Will is catching his breath, I shift my gaze into something mischevious. I draw Will's attention to me using my body language as a means of "I'm right here. Come and get it'.
I saw the shift in Will's attitude as he suddenly sprinted towards me. Before I knew it, I he had trapped me in his arms and lifted me off the ground spinning me in circles. Laughter bubbled from the both of us. It almost felt real. Like this could be us on a real beach date.
When will stops spinning me, he's carrying me bridal style, facing the water.
The minute I looked at him, I could see his intentions
"Don't you dare..."
"Why I would never..." then he just sprints into the ocean. He's splashing the water around so much, the I can feel the ice cold driplets hitting my warm skin.
"STOP!" Marshall hollars, "Will, put her down, the lighting is perfect for a nice romantic couples shot."
Will gently puts me down in the frigid water. A shiver runs through my body, but a warm arm is suddenly around my waist pulling me closer to Will's body. The water doesn't feel cold any more. All I can feel is the radiating warmth of Will's chest against my bare body.
The soothing circles on the lower part of my back are the only thing I can focus on right now.
and, honestly, I don't want him to stop.
William Herondale
I can feel the muscles in Tessa's back relaxing under my touch and the fact that she's so easily drawn closer shows that she's not rejecting my minstrations.
I place a soft hand on her cheek and with gentle caresses I draw her eyes up to meet mine. The soft gray seemed to glow with the sunlight. The sight was almost magical. It was so beautiful.
It was her magic. She was magical. And I wanted to capture all of it. As her face drew closer to mine, I could smell the lavander lotion she had put on and the subtle smell of spearmint toothpaste.
How is it someone so beautiful could be allowed to walk this world.
As much as I would love to bask in her beauty, I had a wager to win and I will win it.
As our breaths mingled together, I could see the flutter of her eyelashes brushing against her skin.
"I know you want me, Tessa. Almost as much as I want you."
A pink flush spread across her cheeks and her gaze averted her eyes from mine.
"Look at me, Tessa. Tell me that you don't want me." My voice sent shivers through her body and that's what I wanted.
"Will, I-"
"AND CUT! Stunning, darlings. Absoluutely stunning. I love the chemistry you guys have on the job. It makes capturing the perfect photos so much easier. Time to get ready for the individual shoots. Will, you will be going first. Tessa needs a little more prep time than you, so run along and get changed."
Marshall's attention is suddenly averted to Tessa.
"Tessa, my girl, you never disappoint me. Also, instead, of the pink strappy bikini, I want you to put on the black set, the one with the jewels in the middle of the top. I think I like that one better than the pink one. So run along and tell your artist go put on look number 5, not 3. Now run along, darling!"
God I can't wait to see her in that gorgeous bikini of hers.
A/N: HAHAHHA! so I may have left you guys with a really long Tessa part and a short William part, but great things will happen the next chapter.
