"Alright last pose." I continued snapping pictures of my 5th client of the day

She did as instructed and I snapped the last few pictures.
My business has been booming lately and the income is lovely, I'm booked up for two months in advance, and I still work part time at the dentist office. I've never been more tired yet satisfied in my life.

"Oh these are amazinggg." The expecting mom brightly smiled while I showed her the pictures

She was barely showing but doing a maternity shoot. I guess some people really like to track their whole pregnancy.

"Thank you. You wanted slight editing right?"

"Yeah, just a few tweaks here and there."

"Ok, I'll edit them tonight and have them to you first thing in the morning."

Normally I'd edit all the pictures within an hour or two, but it's closing time and I'm exhausted.

"Thank you again." She hugged me

"Oh, ok." I was a bit surprised by the hug but accepted it anyway

"You've really made my day. My pregnancy hasn't been going too well, the father's not active and seeing these amazing pictures just warms my heart." She sounded like she wanted to cry

"Aw. Thank you, I'm glad I could help in some way."

She smiled while rubbing her belly "Well, let me get home." She chuckled

"You be safe London."

I always like to address my clients by their last name first, just being formal. But she insisted on me calling her by her first name.

"You too." She grabbed her belongings

"Hey handsome." I sat my keys on Chris' counter

I haven't moved in or anything, but I do have a key and I use it proudly.

"Wassup baby, how was your day?" He paused his game

"Long." I took off my shoes, walking over to the couch "But my last client was really sweet though. She's 3 months and the dad isn't active and-"

"She gave you her whole life story huh?" He chuckled

"Yeah, it was kinda' weird for me, but she said I made her day which was really sweet." I blushed, laying my head on his lap

"That's really nice baby." He played in my hair "Wanna know something? You made my day too."

"Really?" I looked up at him

"Yeah, soon as you came in my heart skipped a beat." He bent his head down to kiss me

"Aw babyyy." I said before our lips met

We shared a few long pecks before pulling away

"And it'd really make my night if you gave me some."
