thank you all for all the wonderful reviews! :) I can't beleive I've reached the 25 reviews in just 4 chapters :O I wasn't expecting that! haha! But I'm glad ^^

I own nothing...sadly :P

Alec woke up early the next day. Fortunately he had been able to have a good night's sleep and now he was more than ready to start his day. He was supposed to be at Prestigious magazine building at 9am. He still had time to kill so he ate breakfast slowly, not wanting the time to come too fast. To say he was nervous would an understatement. He was far more than nervous. He didn't know what to expect when he reached the building…if he reached the building. His nerves were killing him. He felt as if he was going to end embarrassing himself at the photo-shoot. It was professional photography they were talking about. For what his sister had told him the magazine was one of the most wanted magazines in the fashion world, and it was because of all the photos it contained. More than articles, the magazine was constructed by photos. Izzy had even showed him the last month's issue and the photos inside were amazing. Many different photographers worked for that magazine. Professional photographers that were better than him in so many aspects he could not start to count them. He didn't know why Magnus needed a new photographer when he had many others working for him…Many others that would leave his work looking like a kids drawing rather than a professional work…So, as said before, to say that Alec was nervous would be an understatement. He was seriously considering not going. But he had already told his sister, and she was coming to pick him up so they could go together to the building. He couldn't let her down. Plus, he could still feel the tiny hope that maybe he would get the job.

He was putting his breakfast dishes in the sink when he heard someone knocking at his door. He rushed to open the door, letting his sister inside and then moved to the bathroom to wash his teeth. He then took his jacket, phone, and camera and they both made their way out to take a cab that would take them to the building where Izzy worked at.

"Are you nervous?" Isabelle asked her brother after a long time of silence.

"Deathly" Alec said with a shudder "I don't know why I'm doing this"

"Don't be silly Alec…you're meant to do this!" Izzy said "You have a great talent! It was about time you started doing something with it"

Alec was about to answer her but was interrupted when the cab stopped outside a building. It was several floors high and many different people were walking in and out of it. Alec gulped at the sight of it, but obliged when Izzy pulled him out of the car. They paid for the ride and then moved to walk inside said building.

The reception was fancy looking. A really big and elegant candelabrum hung in the air above a mahogany desk. The walls were bare, with only a few pictures hanging. They were magazine's covers. For what Izzy had told him, he recalled they were the most sold issues of the company. Izzy greeted the receptionist, who smiled kindly at them, but then returned back to the computer typing away multiple things as she talked on the phone.

"Magnus's office is up to the last level" Izzy explained "Since I'm going to be on the photo-shoot we should head over there"

"You'll be in the photo-shoot?" Alec asked surprised

"Yeah…Magnus himself asked me yesterday before I left" Izzy said with a brilliant smile "He said it might be easier for you to see a familiar face"

Alec just nodded, touched that Magnus had thought about that. He certainly was nervous and he knew seeing a bunch of strangers wouldn't help. At least he would have Izzy there to support him…and Magnus. Alec didn't know why, but knowing Magnus was going to be there gave him a really warm and pleasant feeling.

They both got inside the elevator where only a few people joined them and together they went to the last level where they were expected to be. It was 5 minutes for 9, so they were just in time for the photo-shoot. They made a few stops on the lower levels were other people walked in and out of the elevator. In the end, it was only Alec and three other girls (including Isabelle) in the elevator reaching towards the last level. They were good-looking girls who seemed to be models, so Alec guessed that's what they were. It gave him a nervous feeling…was he going to be photographing different people? That only made him more nervous.

They reached their destination and Izzy guided him down the halls and towards the place where the photo-shoot was taking place. She left him there, telling him Magnus should be there, and then she rushed away to get the clothes she was supposed to wear. Alec took a deep breath and then he opened the door for the set and stepped inside. He instantly spotted Magnus. He was easy to find since he was wearing bright red skinny jeans, a yellow shirt that framed his lean stomach in all the perfect ways. He was also wearing his spiked hair as Alec had seen him do the two times he had talked to him and LOTS of red and golden glitter.

Magnus was talking to another man who was more normal-looking. He had chocolate brown hair that was styled to one side of his face. His eyes were brown as well, a few shades lighter than his hair. There wasn't anything too extravagant about this man, but he wasn't that bad looking.

"Alexander!" Magnus exclaimed with a huge grin as he noticed him "I'm glad you came"

"It's Alec" He corrected him "And I said I was going to come"

"You could have changed your mind" Magnus shrugged but then smiled "Well, are you ready? The models will be here in a moment"

"I guess" Alec shrugged looking around the place and taking in the set. It was simple, just a huge white screen where the models would be posing.

"Alec, I would like you to meet Tyler" Magnus said pointing towards the boy he was talking when Alec walked inside "He's the photographer in charge of this photo-shoot and he'll help you when you start taking your own photos"

"Nice to meet you" Alec said towards Tyler, but he just gave him a short nod "Anyways…what's the photo-shoot about?"

"It's quiet simple" Magnus explained "But incredibly important…these photos will be the publicity for my clothing line that will go to sale the next month"

Alec nodded and took out his camera and started to check the lenses, getting it ready for when it was his turn to take photos. Tyler fixed something with the lights while Magnus told them both about the new clothing line that was going on sale. Alec didn't really care, he never cared much about fashion, but it would be rude not to pay attention…also he rather liked the sound of Magnus's voice when he talked about clothes he had designed. His voice held certain happiness, some glee, and it showed that he was proud of his work. He liked how Magnus talked because he could catch a glimpse of who Magnus really was and not the teasing and flirty man he had met at the coffee shop.

The models arrived a couple of minutes later and they all got ready for the photo-shoot. There were only three girls: Isabelle and the other two girls who had been with them in the elevator. They were wearing different outfits, but each looked really good, Alec had to admit. They were all in the shades of green, brown, and orange.

"Are we ready to start?" Magnus asked and all three girls agreed eagerly.

Magnus grinned and Tyler ordered the first girl forward. Magnus gestured to Alec to come sit next to him behind the screen that showed the photos that Tyler took. Alec sat down and looked how the first girl took her place in front of the white screen and turned to look at the camera. She had brown hair that fall in soft curls over her shoulders. She was wearing tight denim pants with brown combat boots that reached her knees. She wore a light green blouse under a brown jacket.

She started posing, following the instructions Tyler told her.

The photos came out alright, but Alec couldn't shake the feeling that they looked too forced, too dull. The girl wasn't smiling. Tyler kept telling her to keep a straight face, and she did. She looked stunning, there was no denying it, and there were a few shots that came out incredibly, but Alec knew the photos could come out better. He didn't say anything, of course. He didn't work here, therefore his opinion shouldn't matter.

Tyler moved to the next girl and the photos came out very similar to the one before. Alec wanted to say something, tell Magnus what he was thinking…and he almost did, but stopped himself before he said something he would later regret. When Tyler moved to Isabelle and started taking the pictures Alec couldn't help it anymore. He made a sound of discomfort that Magnus clearly heard.

The designed turned to look at Alec with a look of amusement as he saw him frowning towards the screen where the photos were showing.

"Is there something in your mind?" Magnus asked Alec with a small smirk.

"It doesn't matters" Alec shrugged

"Come on…tell me what you think of the photos" Magnus insisted

"Well…They're too dull. Too forced" Alec said bluntly "Don't get me wrong, there are some great shots…but there could be so much more that could be done"

"Like what?" Magnus continued, honestly interested in what Alec thought.

"Well each girl has their own strength a point that when photographed looks more beautiful than anything else" Alec explained "In my sister's case…her hair. Her hair is like a free spirit of its own. I've been able to capture it in photos many times and they give the photo certain something…a rare characteristic that makes the photos unique"

"And Tyler doesn't use that" Magnus nodded turning to the screen.

"Exactly" Alec nodded "In his photos all I can see is…boldness. Too serious, too plain…And even though they are supposed to be used for publicity…these photos don't show the shine each of these girls has therefore it won't attract as many people as they have the capacity to get"

"Wow Alec…you really know about this stuff, don't you?" Magnus asked with a grin.

"Oh well….t-that's just my opinion…" Alec shrugged, blushing furiously and looking away from him.

Magnus just grinned wider. "Adorable" he thought as he stood up and walked over to Tyler who was taking some more shots of Isabelle.

"That's enough Tyler" Magnus spoke "Alexander mentioned something to me back there and I want him to show me his opinion"

Tyler stopped taking photos and turned to look at Magnus with an eyebrow raised. He then turned to look at Alec, who was blushing and looking down at his shoes. He rolled his eyes and turned his camera off turning to look at Magnus with serious eyes.

"What? The novice didn't like my photos?" Tyler asked rolling his eyes.

"Oi!" Isabelle cried "Watch what you say!"

"It's nothing like that!" Alec spoke quickly standing up and walking towards where Tyler and Magnus stood.

"He did pointed out the photos were too plain and dull" Magnus said

"Did he now?" Tyler asked glaring at Alec "And I guess you could do better?"

"That's not what I meant!" Alec said frowning at Magnus.

"Show me what you meant then!" Tyler snapped.

Alec sighed turning to glare one more time at Magnus who was watching the scene resolve with a look of amusement written all over his face. Alec connected his camera so the photos would show in the screen. He then turned to look nervously at Isabelle. He knew he should have kept his mouth shut, but now there was no turning back, and he might as well show them what he could do. Izzy gave him a reassuring smile and moved to stand in front of the camera.

"Ready whenever you are brother" Izzy grinned.

Alec took the picture without thinking and he captured the grin on Izzy's face perfectly. Magnus and Tyler had retreated to the back of the room where the screen was so they could see all the photos.

"That doesn't really show the clothes" He heard Tyler comment.

Alec just rolled his eyes and turned to look at his sister. She was wearing a beautiful green dress. It fitter her upper half perfectly and then fall perfectly over her legs until it reached her knees. She also wore brown cowboy-styled booties.

"Alright Izzy…You're showing off those clothes. Remember your strength is your hair...Use those two things and own them" Alec explained "You know what to do"

Izzy nodded, grinning once again and then turning to stand on profile. She placed her legs one in front of the other, as if she was walking, and then turned her upper half to look at the camera. She ran her hands through her hair lifting a bit of it. She faked a look of surprise which Alec captured.

"Too fake" Alec called "Relax your face"

Alec another shot and then nodded at Izzy. Izzy turned around standing facing the camera. She took in her hands both ends of her dress and let her hip fall to one side. She smiled sweetly at the camera getting a look of pure innocence.

"That's good….tilt your head a bit to the left" Alec instructed and took the shot "Imagine you're in the park and you look up when a plane flies by…You LOVE planes!"

Isabelle did as Alec instructed and put herself in the scene describer to her. She looked up at the ceiling of the room imagining there was something that truly amazed her. Alec took the shot moving from where he was to get the angle perfectly.

"IZZY! SIMON IS TALKING TO MOM!" Alec cried suddenly.

Izzy swirled around immediately, a look of shock crossing her features as she tried to figure out what Alec had just said. Alec took the photo just as Izzy turned around. Her hair moved with the swirl, as did the dress making it look perfect. He face showed a look of shock. Her eyes were a bit wide open and her mouth slightly parted.

"You scared me!" Izzy cried glaring at her brother

"I can't believe you fell for that" Alec chuckled shaking his head. "Alright…I'm done with you…could you come up now?"

He asked the girl with brown hair, the first one who had posed for Tyler. She nodded with a great smile in her face clearly amused at how the shoot had gone with Isabelle. The rest of the shoot went with a blur for Alec. He was enjoying himself so much he didn't notice anything else in the room but his camera, the model, and himself. He talked to the other two models as he took the shots with them. Got them to know a bit more and found their strength. He took some incredible shots with them just as he did with Isabelle and then he called the three of them to take a few group shots. The final shot was one of the three girls laughing, wide smiles in their faces and their eyes shining with glee. It was perfect.

"These photos are brilliant!" Magnus exclaimed walking up to Alec with a huge grin.

Alec turned around with a shy smile on his face. He turned off his camera and looked up to find Magnus looking at him with a look he couldn't quiet describe. He was smiling, though, a beautiful smile that took his breath away, so he guessed it couldn't mean anything bad. He looked around and noticed Tyler wasn't in the room anymore. He frowned slightly and turned to look at Magnus.

"Where is Tyler?" He asked.

"Left in the middle of the shoot" Magnus rolled his eyes "Coward…couldn't accept your photos were better than his. I fired him"

"You did what?!" Alec asked with wide eyes "Why would you do that?!"

"He kept talking bullshit about your photos…He annoyed me, so I said your work was better than what he could ever dream of doing…and then I fired him"

"You shouldn't have" Alec said looking at Magnus with a look of astonishment.

"I wanted to" Magnus said softly "Plus I'm right…you're better"

"I don't really think…" Alec started but Magnus cut him off.

"You are…Am I right?" Magnus asked the models who all agreed with wide smiles.

"You have a great talent Alexander" Magnus said looking at him once again "I would like to use your photos for the publicity of my clothes and you will get paid of course"

"You really want to use my photos?" Alec asked in disbelief.

"Of course! And I would also like for you to work for my magazine" Magnus said with a gleam of joy and mischief in his eyes "So what do you say? Willing to come and work with me every day from Monday to Friday?"

"Y-Yeah" Alec said still in shock "I…I would love to"
