Hiatus over! (Again) This would've been posted sooner but my muse went to Barbados and forgot to tell me.

Hope you had a happy holidays!

The shoot didn't take as long as it usually did. I was glad, my mind was far away from the land of cameras and models. To be honest Mello's...Mihael's? Story had shocked me far more than I'd let on. I couldn't be sure whether I was glad I knew, or just glad he trusted me but either way my mind was rushing forwards at a million miles an hour carefully making everything I knew about him slot into place.

I was glad when Misa called time, the sound of cameras clicking becoming monotonous to my ears, slowly driving me nuts. I know it's my job but I was trying to think and hearing people shout constantly, having make-up artists bustle past you and models laughing can sure make it hard to concentrate, especially if your mind can be easily distracted like mine. I didn't realise how distracted I was until I realised I was thinking about how some guy named Brad now had herpes. I don't think I even know a Brad so I don't know why it was on my mind.

As I was putting away my cameras Mello pounced on me.
"You seem distracted." He stated bluntly, completely ignoring the fact that he was half naked and pulling me upright as I slotted the last camera in place.
"Kinda." I replied quietly. "Though I'm more thinking about telling Misa she has a bug in her hair and watching her flip out." I laughed, bending back down to pick up the heavy bag, swinging it over my shoulder and trying to pretend that I hadn't just sunk two inches in the sand from its weight. Mello rolled his eyes, puling me out of the soft death trap.
"We leave tomorrow though right?" He asked, sighing as I nodded. "I like it here." He added to my look of disbelief. Though he does look like someone who would openly throw a bomb on a place like this and laugh while it burns. Or maybe my imagination is in overdrive.

Running up the small flight of stairs and into our shared room all too happy to drop the bag on the floor, shoulder aching. It was only a two minute walk from the beach but it still hurt like hell, that thing had to be at least 300 pounds. Flopping down on the bed I sighed in relief.
"Do you plan to move?" Mello asked, I shook my head, eyes closed. "Seriously? This is our last day, well...night on this island and you're just going to lay there?" "For now I am. I'm tired." I grumbled, throwing an arm over my eyes trying to block out the remaining sunlight. I could almost hear the impatience in the room. I sat up, shoulders rolling forwards in dejection. "You're not going to let me sleep are you?"
A diabolical grin crossed his face and I realised all to late I'd given him a centimeter and he was going to take a mile.
"I never said that, just depends what kind of sleeping you want." He leaned over my, kissing me lightly and I couldn't help but respond, tilting my head as he moved them to my neck.

I was surprised at myself, I actually wanted this, pulling him closer as he nipped and kissed the sensitive skin.
"I'm going out for a bit." He breathed, pulling away. I almost hit him, really but he'd already gone, grabbing a shirt on his way out. All my thinking from earlier and telling myself I'd finally figured him out blew up in my face. I just didn't get him.

Propping myself up, my fingers trailed over the mark where he's bitten me gently. I realised I was going to have to wear something to cover it until we got off the plane. I didn't want to give Misa the satisfaction of actually being right about something (How she made it through school...well...she is pretty...) and I also didn't want to be the guy who got any future jobs because he let the model fool around with him. Though I would look weird if I wore a scarf in a place this hot. It didn't take me long to realise I would have to suck it up and be that guy. Running my fingers through my hair I stepped off the bed, the possibility of sleeping long gone as my mind began to crowd itself once more.
