Walking up to the platform hand in-hand with Roman I feel the nerves creeping back up. The bright lights almost blinding me in the process, but it was finally hitting that this was real. A squeeze on my hand from Roman brought me back to reality. I give him a reassuring squeeze back and smile softly at him.

"Alright guys so the first pose I want you Roman to sit behind her. Cléo, I want you stand in front of him and kind of cradle his head," Thank God I was blessed with melanin because Lord knows I would've been blushing like a damn school girl. Roman takes his position and I take mine. "Alright now Roman, I want you to cup her right leg from the front, exactly just like that," The director says and the camera snaps the pictures. I could feel Roman breathe against my skin and I felt myself heating up. "Looking good guys, okay for the next one Roman I need you to stand other there in the corner, have your hands crossed in front of you, someone give him a fake cigar, thank you, alright put the cigar in your face and have you arms crossed in front of you," He does as he's told. 

"Now Cléo I want you to show of the front of your outfit, just pose however makes you feel comfortable," I start doing different poses and I hear the cheers getting louder, I couldn't help but smile, "Beautiful, just like the Cléo keep smiling for me," My cheeks hurt from how much I'm smiling. "Alright last pose now, Roman come up behind Cléo, and Cléo I want you to lean against him like you're leaning on a wall for support," I lean against Roman. 

"Roman I want you to wrap your arms around her neck," I feel his arms wrap around my neck and I get comfortable. "Wow you guys are naturals alright, Roman I want you to stare at her, like you're-" She cut, "Yeah just like that," I don't know how he's staring at me but with the way people are reacting I think he's doing a good job. 

"Alright that's a wrap, thank you guys so much," Everyone starts clapping and I thank everyone as well. I try to walk away but realize that Rom still has his hands around me. Turning around so I'm now facing him, "You gonna let me go?" I ask cheekily. He tilts his head back pretending to think about it. "Nah, I kinda like this situation better," He says smirking with the cigar still in his mouth. Now I don't find smoking attractive in any sense, but seeing Rom with a cigar hanging from his lips has me thinking in ways I shouldn't be. A cough is what brought us both to reality and we both turn to find Tako standing there. Roman instantly removes his hands from around my neck and I cough awkwardly.

"Sorry to burst your little lover bubble or whatever this is but I just wanted to come here and say thank you to the both of you, specifically Cléo. I know you didn't want to do this at all and you still did, I really appreciate that," I couldn't help but smile. "Of course Tako, initially I was a bit frightened but I had fun," I respond, "I can't guarantee that I will do this again willingly so don't bring it up," I say sarcastically.  

"I also came here to tell you guys that I'm having a little kick back at my place after we're done here so I just wanted to tell you guys if you have nothing else to do," Tako says. I contemplate for a second before I agree, "I have nothing else better to do so why not," I say.  I turn to face Roman, "You know I'll be there, your room is like two doors from mine anyways," Roman says. 

"Cool, see you guys at 6," He says walking away. I finally turn towards Roman, "So, I'm going to get out of these clothes and head back to my dorm to get ready, so I'll see you later," I say to him walking backwards towards the dressing room. He starts walking towards me and I smile, "What are you doing ?" I ask. "I also happen to need to change too," He smirks and I laugh, "You dirty whore, we are not changing in the same room," I giggle out and try to push him away. 

"Okay, I'll go change over there," He points at a different dressing room, "And I'll be waiting for you right outside yours so we can walk together," He says and I smile and nod.
