Chapter 8

The private plane waited on the tarmac for the Another Man magazine. The clothes were already loaded as were the wardrobe staff and makeup artist. Edward came through the terminal with his assistant Seth. Waiting to greet them were Jasper and Jacob who could get another few hours sleep in while Edward and Seth checked, double checked, and tripled checked the equipment. Edward gave Jacob a wink as they got closer making the young man smile and walk toward him. Just as he was about to give him a hug Edward's name was called from behind the photographer and in walked Paul pushing a trolley loaded with bags. Jacob forgotten, Edward went to greet the older model. No one could miss the long hold the men had and the kiss on the lips that was not just a peck. Jacob turned and went back to Jasper's side. When Emmett came into the terminal all attention went to him. Leah was at his side and she ran her eye over Paul and gave him a smile before handing him her card. Paul raised an eyebrow but, put the card in his pocket.

Jacob pulled out his phone and texted Renesme confirming their date the following week. The reply was almost instant. The steward came and asked if they would like to hand over their passports and to follow her. Jasper and Jacob had already had their luggage along with Seth's loaded on the plane. The entourage made their way to the plane. Emmett was the last to board, Leah saying her sad farewell. Only the night before the model had gotten down on one knee and proposed to the beautiful women. Jacob was introduced to the other members of their group before being asked to find a seat. He ended up sitting next to Emmett who was telling anyone who would listen that he was engaged. Jacob couldn't imagine getting tied down to anyone but, was assured by Emmett that he would one day.

Across the aisle, Paul and Edward had their heads close whispering to each other with their hands entwined. Jacob guessed that was why he hadn't heard from Edward. Of course, he hadn't called Edward not wanting to interrupt his work. He turned his attention to the inflight movie in front of him. Emmett had taken off his belt and went to talk to the make up artist. Slumping down in his chair, Jacob put the earphones in and got comfortable. He could tell it was going to be a long flight. He felt a pat on his leg half way through the movie and looking up he saw Paul who motioned him to put his legs down so he could sit in the empty chair beside him. He looked around him to see Edward sleeping. Sitting up, he let Paul squeeze past and flopped himself down in the chair. He held his hand out and shook the younger model's.

"You excited?" he asked. Jacob nodded not sure what the man wanted. "I remember my first job. God, I was so nervous but, we couldn't have a better photographer. Edward is talented don't you think?" he said taking a sip from his bottle of water. "You don't say much do you kid?" he chuckled when Jacob didn't answer him.

"What exactly do you want?" Jacob asked. He really didn't like this guy and wondered what Edward saw in the jerk. He went to put the earphones back in only for Paul to grab his arm.

"Don't think you can take my place," he said looking over at the sleeping Edward. Jacob chuckled.

"He's all yours, Pauly," he said getting up and going to the front of the plane sitting opposite from Jasper and Seth who was curled up sleeping on his lover's shoulder. Jasper gave him a wink and leaned over to pull Jacob close to him.

"Ignore him, Jake. He is trying to spook you and only because he is scared you're going to steal his limelight. Don't fall for it, you have a right to take his spot if you work hard enough," he whispered.

"I will be gone before he will be. I want to go to college. What does Edward see in him anyway?" he asked. Jasper turned and looked back at his sleeping friend. That's what he wanted to know. He answered Jacob with a shrug. Jacob stayed up the front until they were making their descent. The flight was just shy of seven hours and they landed in the heat of the day. Manaus was the closest city to the Amazon where they were shooting. Four Jeeps were waiting for them so they were only in the humid heat for a few minutes. Customs was a long process before going to their hotel. They would leave in the morning for the eight hour drive. They were going to be in the middle of nowhere.

Emmett and Jacob were sharing the room. The only other model who was going to join them would be with Paul but, he was a local called Nahuel, who was arriving later that day. Since the heat of the day was upon them, they all agreed to meet in the restaurant later that evening. Emmett was straight on his phone to Leah. Jacob was too worked up to sleep so he decided to go check out the rest of the hotel. He found a quiet spot under an umbrella where a waiter quickly came over and asked if he required anything. Trying his luck, he asked for a beer. The waiter didn't ask for ID and quickly left to go get the customer his order. Chuckling, Jacob removed his shirt and laid back.

"I would put sunscreen on if I were you," a strong Portuguese accent said. The young model opened his eyes and looked to see a man with long hair and the most stunning eyes he had ever seen. Well, maybe the second, only one other person had more beautiful eyes. Instead of green however, they were a soft hazel. The color nothing spectacular but, it was how they seem to draw Jacob in. He shook his head and sat up.

"I'm under the umbrella. I should be fine but, thanks anyway," he smiled.

"My name is Nahuel," he held out his hand which Jacob shook happily.

"Jacob but, you can call me Jake," he said waving his hand to the seat next to him. Nahuel sat down and looked at the pool. "So, how long you been modeling for?" Jacob wanted to start a conversation and couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Not long, about six months. This is my biggest job. How about you, Jake?" he asked.

"First job," Jacob admitted. Nahuel whistled. The men stayed talking until the others started coming down and joining them. Seth and Jasper came out both in their swimming trunks. Jacob made the introductions before going and getting his own trunks from his room. Just as he was swiping his key card, the door across from his and Emmett's opened and Paul and Edward walked out both looking like they had just gotten out of bed. Ignoring them, he went into his room slamming the door loudly.

"What the fuck?" Emmett grumbled from the bed. "What's got stuck up your ass, kid?" he grumbled sitting up and looking at his watch. "Time to get up," he sighed. "Still, what got up your ass?" he asked again.

"Nothing, It doesn't matter sorry," Jacob said throwing his suitcase on the bed and pulling out his clothes until he found his trunks.

"Sure, whatever. Look, we already have a bitch on location, don't you join him," he got out of the bed naked and went to the bathroom.

"Whatever," Jacob grumbled stripping and putting on his swimmers. When he got back down to the pool, other than Emmett, everyone was there. He dove straight into the cool water and did a few lengths before jumping out and going to the bar where the barman was now stationed being kept busy with the customers. Edward came and put his hand on his shoulder.

"How have you been, Jake?" he asked.

"Fine," was all he said before taking his beer and walking away finding Nahuel who was sitting on the pool edge his legs dangling in the water. Jacob sat beside him giving him a smile.

"Lovers, how do you American's say it, tiff?" Nahuel asked looking over at Edward whose eyes had never left Jacob.

"He wishes, I'm straight," he said suckling his beer. "He seems more interested in lover boy over there," he pointed his bottle towards Paul who was sitting with Jasper and Seth. "What about you, Nahuel," he asked wanting to move the focus off him.

"Straight as well," he smiled. "He is still looking at you," he said after turning around looking toward the photographer. "Want to come up to my room? I brought my computer, we could watch a movie if you want," he said winking at Jacob. Chuckling, Jacob got up and pulled Nahuel up with him. "Maybe we make lover boy jealous, huh?" he whispered in Jacob's ear he took Jacob's hand and led him toward the hotel. Both men could feel all eyes on them as they left. As soon as they were out of view, they dropped hands and went up to the model's room which he was supposed to be sharing with Paul. However, there was no sign of Paul's things.

The young men stayed in the room until Seth knocked on the door telling them they were going to have a meal and perhaps they would like to join them. Jacob went to his room to shower only to have Seth grab his arm as he tried to get there. "Why are you hiding in the room with Nahuel? You don't even know the guy," he said looking his young cousin in the eye.

"I like him. Why can't I hang out with him? Why should I hang around people who don't care about me?" he said yanking his arm out of Seth's hold. Seth gasped putting his hand to his mouth and turning around and walking toward his room. "Shit Seth, wait," but it was too late and the door slammed. "Fuck," he grumbled going to his room. He quickly showered and went to Jasper and Seth's room. Knocking, he was greeted by Jasper who pushed him out of the way and shut the door behind him not quite so it wasn't completely closed. "Jasper, I didn't mean him. He should know that. Let me in and explain it to him," the young man begged.

"Not now, Jake. I think you should perhaps go join the others. Seth isn't feeling so well," he said looking back towards the slightly open door. "He loves you, Jacob. What you said before cut deep and all Seth has done is love you," Jasper jabbed at Jacob's chest. "Get out of my sight before I hurt you with more than words," he hissed going back into the room. Jacob pulled out his phone and texted his older cousin. He waited but, got no reply. Sighing, he went to his room stripping his clothes he climbed into bed. The one person he loved most in the world and loved him, he had hurt. Why? Because he was jealous of a man who did nothing wrong but like Edward. He pulled the sheet over his head and wept. He kept sending messages to his cousin until his battery went flat. He threw his phone on the floor and tried to get sleep. He never heard Emmett return to the room later that evening. The phone woke the two models just before 5am. Groaning, both men got up and dressed to head down to breakfast where they were due for a meeting before they left to the location. Jacob made a beeline to his cousin who opened his arms. Gladly walking into them, he begged for Seth's forgiveness. Somebody coughed making Jacob pull back and sat in the seat next to his cousin. They were told the safety rules and introduced to their guides for the remainder of their trip. Everyone had to buddy up. Seth, of course, was with Jasper. Paul was sitting next to Nahuel and they buddied up and so it went on. Edward and Jacob were buddied up together meaning that they had to stay together the whole time, neither of them allowing the other out of their sight.

There were four to a jeep plus the driver and the guide. Seth and Edward needed to be together so they could talk shop. Jasper went to the motel shop and grabbed a few books so he had something to do. He too seemed to have forgiven Jacob and they sat in the back leaving the two talking in the front. After only an hour on the road, they turned off and started heading into the forest. Jacob looked in awe at the beauty of the place. Seth and Edward pulled their cameras up to their eyes. The rest of the trip was bumpy and all men were glad when they made it to base camp. Jasper pulled out his phone and groaned, there was no cellphone coverage. Seth held his hands together as though praying, looking upwards. "We remind you to keep your fly screens closed at all times, check your sleeping bags before getting into them, and always wear shoes," the guide smiled. Seth jumped into Jasper's arms wrapping his legs around his waist holding his lover's neck like a vice.

"Come on, let's find a tent as far away from these two as we can," Edward chuckled. Jacob agreed and grabbed his bag heading to the furthest tent from the rest of them. Opening the flap, he stepped inside. The tent was big but, stifling hot. Already, everyone had drank more water than they thought their bodies could hold. But, as fast as they were pouring it down their throats, they were sweating it out. They were the first ones to arrive and they went to greet the others. Emmett was jovel but, Paul looked like shit much to Jacob's delight. Edward was called to the equipment tent by Seth meaning that he had to go as well. "I think I am pretty safe finding my way back to the tent, Jake," Edward chuckled. Jacob shrugged his shoulders and continued following him.

Jacob and Jasper were bored as Seth and Edward checked over the equipment. Telling the two busy men they were going to see the rest of the camp, they promised to stay together. Jacob grabbed Jasper's hand and held it up. "See, we are like glue. I won't let him wander off," he smiled turning and leaving the stifling hot tent. The heat outside was not any cooler. Dropping Jasper's hand, Jacob went to find something to eat. Emmett was laying in a hammock reading under the shade of a tree. Jasper pulled out his phone and tried to pick up a signal. Chuckling, Jacob went to seek out Nahuel to see what he was up to. However, he was nowhere at base camp and he really didn't fancy going out of sight of it. Jasper found him telling him to come look. "God, that is awesome," Jacob said watching a very colorful bird seemingly doing a dance to another on who was not as bright but, was interested. Hearing clicking beside him, Jacob wasn't surprised that Edward and Seth had joined them both taking photos of the mating birds.

"Fuck," Emmett's loud booming voice shouted and the birds flew off. There was a lot of shouting from the guides. Going over to see what the problem was, they all stared in horror as a scorpion rested on his leg, the tail raised in defense. "Get the fucking thing off me," he bellowed. Much to everyone's surprise, it was Seth who went to Emmett and held his hand rubbing it slowly so not to stress the scorpion. "Tell Leah I love her," he whispered as a guide moved in with a stick.

"You tell her yourself and I promise none of us will tell her you were such a baby," Seth said seriously. Emmett's attention went to Seth forgetting that one of the most deadly creatures on the planet was on his leg. "Okay, you can move now," Seth smiled patting Emmett's hand and moving back to his lover. The guide had managed to remove the insect while Seth had distracted the frightened model.

"I am not going to stay here. I want to live. They don't pay me enough to put my life in danger," Emmett said jumping up and down while brushing himself off making sure nothing more was on him. Someone from the magazine came up to him with his signed contract saying he waived his rights about the dangers he would be facing. "God, I'm going to kill that bitch," he grumbled going towards his tent. The normally happy guy was pissed.

The rest of the afternoon went without a hitch. Paul and Nahuel came back a few hours later saying they found a waterfall and decided to go swimming. Seth begged them to not tell Jasper about it but, to take Edward and Jake to have a look at it later. Shrugging. the men kept their mouths shut. The night air didn't cool down much and tempers were getting frayed. Jasper and Seth were the first to call it an evening. Paul and Edward sat close together talking quietly. Jacob and Nahuel were playing cards with the assistant from the magazine. The roar of a tiger echoed around the forest making them all decide to call it an evening. They had an early start in the morning. Jacob lay on his sleeping bag just in his boxer shorts when Edward came in after saying goodnight to Paul. He went to pull out sleepwear only to have Jacob laugh at him. "Dude we are in the middle of a fucking jungle and you want to wear designer pajamas?"

"Just because I am sleeping, doesn't mean I can't look good," he huffed throwing them back in his suitcase and climbed into his sleeping bag fully clothed. With much amusement, Jacob watched as the older man tried wiggling out of his clothes. After a few minutes, he gave up too hot and tired to care.

"Eddy, I've seen it all before. Just strip. Believe me, it feels good," Jacob laid back spreading his arms and legs. He sat up quickly. "You're not wearing that g-string I saw in your drawer are you?" his rich baritone laugh filled the tent. Edward blushed, he wasn't wearing them. In fact, he thought he'd thrown them out. They were a gift from a friend years back as a joke.

"Fuck off, Jake," he began to chuckle and got up letting the sleeping bag drop and began removing his clothes. Jake was right, he saw more at the beach than he would if he left just his underwear on. Letting out an audible sigh, Edward put his clothes neatly on top of his suitcase and neatly laid the sleeping bag on the stretcher. Jacob turned to his side and rested his head on his arm.

"So, you and Paul seem close," he said.

"He's a good friend, Jake. He's misunderstood that's all," the photographer said turning the lamp off. "Goodnight, Jake," he said. There was silence for a few minutes.

"Night," the young man said quietly.
