#2
Getting to the shoot I grabbed my phone and the bags I needed and made sure I had my coffee in hand as I ran towards the beach.
"Finally we have been here for fifteen minutes, do you have everything?" Carly asked as she walked towards me.
"Yes I do and traffic was a bitch so I'm sorry I'm late. Have they already started?" I asked setting my cup on the table in the tent.
"Not yet, the new editor wanted to come out and see what we were doing for the spring issue so Sonny's been showing him around."
"Okay well send in the models and we will get this started," I said bringing my sunglasses back down to my face.
It wasn't till the middle of the shoot when the models were doing their second look that the new editor came in to the tent.
"So this is where everything comes together?" he asked as I was cleaning up and drinking more coffee.
Turning around I came face to face with the guy from last night.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me," I mumbled as I brought my hair into a bun.
"And you're the woman I've been hearing so much about from Sonny and Carly," he said smiling at me.
"And you are my new boss. My ex is my new boss, not even that but I slept with my boss last night. Fuck," I said before taking a big drink from the coffee.
"Fuck this needs something stronger," I said looking down at the cup of cold brew.
"I see your still the same in some ways. How come I didn't see your tattoos last night?" he asked smiling and looking at thighs and arms.
"Well we saw each other and if I remember correctly as soon as we got into my house you tore my dress and then we didn't have much light till you left my house later that morning" I told him as I began to get things set out for the third look.
"Well that's a bit harsh don't you think?" he asked as I turned back around to finish cleaning the tables.
"Not really, it's what happened. So what can I do for you?" I asked him.
"Nothing I just came to see you, Sonny and Carly sing your praises and it seemed like you were avoiding me. I guess I didn't do my research as well as I thought when I came on here."
"What does that mean?" I asked crossing my arms against my chest.
"Well I knew there was a Sam working for them but the last name wasn't yours so I thought it was someone else," he said leaning against one of the tables.
"I kept my ex-husbands last name. Anything else?" I asked him.
"No, I just wanted to meet the Sam Sonny and Carly have been talking so much about."
"Well I've been busy, I do a lot for the magazine and I travel a lot. Was that all?" I asked.
Before he could answer Carly walked into the tent holding her shoes.
"Hey sorry to interrupt but we only have a few more shots and Lucky is coming by and if you leave your folders I can do everything else if you wanted to catch that morning flight and go surprise him? I'm sure I can get Spinelli to email you the website layouts," she asked.
"Really, you sure you are okay with that? I mean I told him that I wouldn't be there till tonight so it's fine if I have to stay the rest of the shoot."
"No really it's okay. Besides it's his last day before break right?"
"Yeah, I was going to go in tonight and then bring him back here tomorrow morning. Mona said he's been talking about coming here for weeks," I said smiling.
"Good, he needs to come here more often," she said smiling as she walked towards me and Jason.
"Yeah well the year is almost up and then he will be moving out here. I already have things in place," I said as I grabbed my bags and coffee.
"Excuse me but where are you going?" Jason asked looking confused.
"Uh taking some personal time. I do that sometimes," I told him as I moved towards the opening in the back of the tent.
"Well why are you taking it in the middle of a photo shoot. You're the creative director of this, it's your job to be here." He said following me out.
"Jason just leave her. I have everything covered, I helped her pick everything for the shoot," Carly yelled after us as she ran to try and catch up with us.
"Where I'm going doesn't matter and why I'm leaving doesn't matter other than it's personal. Now if you'll excuse me I have a flight to catch," I said unlocking my car.
"Look Jason we have it covered. Go back to the shoot and talk to Sonny," Carly said when she caught up to us.
"Your new here Mr. Morgan, I work hard and travel a lot for this job. So when I can I take my personal time. Now Carly I left the makeup and the folders on the table, just give them to Lucky when he leaves he's staying at my place," I said as I put my bags in the car and walked around to the driver's side.
"I'll bring some stuff over when you guys get in. Sonny bought a bunch of toys last month I need to get rid of some of them," she said smiling at me.
As I got in the car I put my sunglasses on and peeled out of the parking lot.
