Chapter 2

Since they had finished the shoot early, Edward decided to see what he could do with the photos he had of Paul and Jacob. Seth hummed quietly while he packed up the rest of the gear. With Paul there was nothing wrong with any of them and he would be making a difficult choice on which ones to not use. When he opened up Jacob's though he cringed. Yes, there were great photos but also, a lot of duds. His focus was not on his job at all. The lighting was poor, the angle wrong, and all because he couldn't keep his hormones in check. He sighed and rubbed his hand over his face. Looking at his watch, he wondered if he had time to bring Jacob back and have another go but, time was against him.

"What's up?" Seth said coming up behind him putting his hand on his shoulder while looking down at the photo on the screen. "Oh," was all he managed to say. Never before had he seen work so bad from Edward.

"God, I hope there are some decent ones on film," Edward said walking away beginning to pace. Seth clicked through the photos. There was enough to make Jacob a stunning portfolio even if over half of them were not great. "Show me what you did?" he came back to the screen. Seth clicked on his folder and showed him. He had only just started taking photos recently and his work was nowhere near the standard of the famous photographers. "This I like, see the angle you got of his face with the slight shadow," Edward pointed to the screen. Seth looked closely and nodded smiling. Edward was a hard teacher and normally everything had something wrong with it. But, he was learning everyday from his mentor. "This one will be in his folder," he said patting Seth on the back for a job well done.

"Really?" Seth beamed at the screen. This was a huge step for him and probably Edward his name would be linked with this portfolio.

Edward chuckled. He knew Seth had a great career in front of him. It was just a matter of time if he wanted to go down that path. Normally, assistances burned out with all the travel and, as much as the job was done out of love, it was not the life for everyone. When he discovered that Garrett was cheating on him, he almost gave it up so he could stay home. He couldn't blame his man. Edward could be away for months at a time only coming in for a few days to clean his clothes and pack again for another location somewhere around the world. He took a six month sabbatical to see how he felt, hoping his lover would stop from straying. However, he hated being in one place for too long and Garrett still cheated. It only took three months for Edward to get back into his work, Garrett kicked out of his home and life. He had gone to visit his mother in Seattle for the weekend but, decided to surprise Garrett catching a flight a day early, missing his lover. He tried calling to warn him when he arrived at the airport but, to no avail. Carlisle greeted him as usual and said that Garrett was up at the apartment with Ben. Thanking him, Edward headed up excited to catch up with Ben. It had been too long since they had seen each other.

Unlocking the door, he walked in expecting to hear his lover and friend talking but, there was only silence. Frowning, he headed to the kitchen only to find it empty except for a shirt he didn't recognize. Garrett loved clothes and wouldn't of been surprised if he had bought it and forgotten about it. It certainly was not new picking it up he put it to his nose to see if it needed laundraying. However, it was not Garrett's usual after shave. His was Atelier D`Orient Rive D`Ambrethat Edward bought for him while in Europe, bringing it back whenever he could. Garrett had a good stockpile of it as Edward never smelled anything more delicious on his lover. Without thinking, he headed to his room. There was no way that this could be happening, not his friend since high school. Hell, Ben hated Garrett. He was always telling Edward to kick the cheating bastard out, he could do better than him. Pausing at the closed bedroom door, he placed his ear against it to listen for any sound. Not hearing anything, he stepped back. Maybe Garrett and Ben had slipped out when Carlisle was busy with another tenant. It was coming up to dinner time and easily could've happened. Shaking his head, he went and poured himself a scotch when he spotted his friends keys and wallet sitting on the coffee table. There was no way he would've left them if they had gone out. He sat down on the couch and gazed out the large open windows. He couldn't make his legs work to go back to the bedroom. If he opened the door he would see what he didn't want to believe. Leaning over, he grabbed the bottle of scotch and drank straight from the bottle. He heard the bedroom door open and his lover's laugh behind him.

"Ben, your insatiable. My ass is sore, I need to get a drink," his laughter dying when he saw Edward sitting on the couch. "Eddy, what are you doing home so soon?" he said loudly.

Edward stood and faced his naked lover, the one he had loved for four years, supported, gave him a home and clothes, letting him live off him, and giving him access to all his bank accounts. Everything, he had given Garrett everything. Yet, here he was standing in front of him naked as the day he was born.

"Get the fuck out of my house now and never come back!" he shouted throwing the half full bottle of scotch at Garrett missing him but, smashing by his feet.

"Eddy, fuck love, please. Its nothing, he was just trying on some of my clothes," he tried to lie. However, that was foiled when Ben walked out naked as well, his cock still hard and weeping.

"You bastards! How fucking long?" Edward said walking towards the men, making them step back. Neither of them answered. "I said, how fucking long?" he shouted. "Fuck, get out of my sight! I never want to see either of you again!" he said grabbing his keys and walking to the door. "I will have Carlisle escort you out if you're not out of here in twenty minutes. Oh, and leave your credit cards, they are worthless now," he said nodding at them before turning and walking out, slamming the door making it rattle the walls.

"Edward, I need to pack up the computer," Seth said gently after watching his friend go completely still for the last ten minutes. Even after all this time, Garrett affected him. Edward had taken the break up hard. He took months to even have the courage to return to the apartment. Seth and Jasper allowed him to stay with them but, he was back into his work trying to forget. Everyone knew that it wasn't that simple. He started drinking heavily and it was Jasper who threatened to put him into detox if he didn't pull himself out of it. Edward didn't touch a drop for months and never when he was on a job. Now, he would enjoy a simple scotch when he was home and stopping at one or two.

Edward stood up and nodded, he hated bringing this back up. Seth gave him a sad smile and patted his shoulder before putting his attention on packing up. The studio door opened and Jacob walked in. He was dressed in smart street clothes with a long black jacket draped over his shoulder and his hand in his pocket. He stopped whistling and smiled at Edward. Without thought, Edward let his eyes run over the young man, his cock stirring. Jacob looked down at himself. "Something wrong with my clothes? I can go change if you want me too," he said sounding worried while pointing over his shoulder to the door.

"No, you're fine as you are," Seth said nudging Edward who coughed and turned away trying to look busy. "I will just load the car and then we can go," he said pushing past Edward, his arms loaded with cameras.

"Want a hand?" Jacob asked.

"No, wait here with Edward. I won't be a minute," Seth smiled before walking out. Both men raised an eyebrow when they heard Seth chuckling as the door clicked behind him.

Bastard, Edward thought. He had no idea what to say to the young man. He went to say something several times as Jacob stood there looking around the studio. "You and Seth are you close?" Edward finally blurted out.

Jacob's attention went back to him and his perfect smile came across his face. "Yeah, he taught me to ride my first two wheeler," he smiled walking closer to Edward. God, he smelled so fucking good. Jasper gave his friend a hard time about his sense of smell. "So do you think I've got it? You know, modelling? I'm just doing it to earn money for college. I want to become an engineer," he said looking calm and relaxed, the complete opposite of Edward who was still trying to come up with something else to say.

"Once you cut your hair you will having them beating down your door, Jacob," he said just as Seth walked in ready to take the next load out. However, Edward quickly grabbed the computer and remaining items. "Let's go, shall we? Don't want to keep Jaz waiting," he said as he headed out the door.

"Wait, you want me to cut my hair? Not going to happen," Jacob said walking briskly behind the flustered photographer.

Edward paused and turned to face the young man not realizing he was so close. He couldn't help himself and took in a deep breath. Not to calm himself but rather, to take in his scent. He wished he hadn't done that. He didn't wear expensive aftershave that cost the earth but rather, he smelled of soap and that was all. 'I'm telling you what would make you more money. You could do it for a couple of years and put yourself through college and have a home as well," Edward said turning to go to the awaiting car. While he loaded the car, Seth climbed into the front next to the driver meaning that Jacob and Edward were in the back.

Jacob looked out the window taking everything in leaving Edward to get a naked-eyed look at the man. It didn't seem that long that he and Jasper had met another young native from La-Push, having to pick him up from the airport Edward couldn't believe the day Jasper told him he had employed him an assistant, not after the last disaster. Even worse, the boy was only seventeen fresh outta high school. It turned out Seth was quite intelligent but had no desire to continue his higher education. Even at seventeen, he'd enough. Edward vowed that he would make the boy see the error of his ways and he'd go running back to his small corner of the world. Asking Jasper how he had come to hiring this boy, he was told he liked the sound of his voice. Shaking his head, Edward reluctantly went to the airport to pick him up hoping to scare him enough to catch the next plane home. The passengers had all disembarked and there was no sign of the boy. Feeling they were wasting their time, Edward was ready to walk out when Jasper grabbed his arm painfully. Looking up, he saw his future assistant where Jasper saw his future lover.

"Hi," he beamed, his smile melting Jasper's heart and Edward's dislike for the young boy diminishing. "Edward Cullen, wow. Such an honor to meet you, sir," Seth said holding out his hand.

"Thank you Seth, is it?" Edward said not amused being called sir. Did he really look that old, he frowned?

"Seth Clearwater, I'm a huge fan, sir."

"Edward," he smiled, "please, I'm not my father," he chuckled making the young boy blush.

"Jasper Whitlock," the blonde man said taking the young boy's hand holding it longer than normally acceptable. But, Seth didn't seem to mind. They haven't been apart since they became lovers a few weeks later.

Jasper was waiting for them at the restaurant, his phone glued to his ear. Seth kissed him and took the phone from him, telling the caller he would call him back. Only Seth could get away with doing such a thing. Since Seth had arrived into Jasper's life, Edward had never seen him anything but happy. Edward found a great assistant who could've taken advantage of his position with Jasper, being his lover. But, he was a hard worker willing to learn. He also became a great friend, even with the age difference. Seth always said age didn't matter, after all, Jasper was a decade his senior.

"Jake, this is my man Jasper," Seth grinned puffing out his chest proud to show off his lover. Jasper held a hand out to Jacob who nodded but, smiled at his cousin giving him a wink. Edward let out a moan, his cock twitching at that mere wink. Quickly sitting down to hide his growing problem, he asked for a scotch. Jasper began talking to Jacob asking him about Seth growing up. Edward sat there watching the group all relaxing with each other.

"So, how about you, Jake? Left anyone at home?" Jasper asked as the dessert was brought out.

Jacob shook his head picking up his drink, "I left because of a girl, she played me for a fool," he sighed.

"Excuse me, " Edward said suddenly standing up and walking away. He headed to the bathroom turning on the faucet and washing his face. He was going to kill Seth for not telling him his cousin was straight. He should've of known it was too good to be true. Just as he was drying his face, Jacob walked in.

"You okay? You looked really pale out there," Jacob asked. He was just telling Jasper about his stupid actions with a girl back home when suddenly, Edward excused himself looking paler than he normally was.

"Yeah, something didn't agree with me," Edward gave a small smile. The only thing that didn't agree with him was that this boy was straight and he didn't have a hope in hell in getting his dream man into his bed.

"Hell, I would complain if I was you. Do you know how much this place costs? Gimme pizza any day," he chuckled.

God, this guy had no idea what he was doing to Edward. He chuckled, he was the same. "Nothing like sitting in front of the tv with a beer and pizza, watching baseball," he agreed.

"I'm hearing you, dude. Who do you root for? Let me guess, the Yankees right?"

"Is there any other team?" he smirked.

"Hell yeah but, I will let you off," the model chuckled. "Game on tomorrow, looking forward to watching it," he said.

"You're more than welcome to come and watch it with us. Jasper and Seth will be there," Edward said crossing his fingers behind his back. Never before had they watched a game together. Even though they enjoyed the game, they were not big enough fans to watch it.

Jacob's smile looked almost painful it was so big. "You are on," he said going to the urinal. Edward stared at his back while Jacob chatted about different players. When he turned around he lifted an eyebrow surprised to see Edward had not moved, his eyes from his crotch area. He looked down to make sure he hadn't made a wet patch. "You sure you're okay? I could get you a taxi," he said.

"No, I'm fine. I have to get going if you want a portfolio in the morning," he said heading to the door. "See you tomorrow. Oh, and good luck with the assignment," he said letting the door close behind him. He quickly went to the table and begged for Jasper and Seth come over to watch the game the following day.

"Um, why?" Jasper asked more concerned about his lover's neck while no one was around. Seth giggled and slapped Jasper's arm.

"Sure, Ed. Baby, I have to go. I should be home by nine," Seth said getting up. Jasper sighed. This is what he hated about letting his lover work for Edward. But, he loved his job and couldn't tell him to work in the office with him. They would kill each other within a month. Seth was a go getter. He couldn't sit still for five minutes without fidgeting. Jacob came out as the men were leaving. "Jasper will give you a ride back to the apartment. We will pick you up before the game," he said kissing his cousin's cheek.

Edward held out his hand to Jacob wishing he was Seth, getting a kiss from the hottie. With his hand on the small of Seth's back, they walked through the restaurant saying hello to people they both knew.

"God, wait until Jacob sees her," Seth said pointing to Ellen DeGeneres.

Edward raised his eyebrow, there were many famous people here yet, Jacob would be interested in her. "Why?" he asked as they continued walking.

"She can move," he chuckled stopping and swaying his hips. Edward shook his head pushing Seth out the door before anymore people stared at them. Once they got in the car, they were stuck in traffic and both sighed. The longer they were stuck in the car, the later they would be working tonight. "Ed, I'm sorry about not telling you about Jake," he looked at his friend. What he had done was a cruel thing to do and something that went against everything he believed in. He had managed to hurt his friend.

"Its fine, Seth. But, next time, don't let me make a dick of myself," the photographer chuckled.
