Hollywood Zenith



It took whole two hours of shooting before they completed the outlook for the first design. They were working for the whole evening, it was almost six o'clock when old man decided it was time for a break. It was going so well but seeing the weary eyes of staff, George had to oblige.

The staff members brought some food, Samuel found it strange that they served them fast food. McDonald's burgers? He had no idea how long it had been since he eaten one of these. He rarely ate out these days and if such opportunity presented, he would always go with some fine dining!

But it did wonders, high on sugar and salt they definitely needed a lot of physical energy being standing still for hundreds of shots.

Samuel gulfed down two of the bad boys along with their signature smoothie after which he came to see the old man to look for the results.

Everyone was a professional, their ability to grasp every little emotion of model's face was immaculate. The photos came out very beautiful even with any post-production work, after which everything would be literally spotless!

While admiring his work they reached the photos where two of them were 'almost' kissing. Ashley face was full of blush with a deep look of yearning. Samuel could tell how embarrassed she must have been during this shot.

He noticed his face was full of affection? Fuck, wait, why the hell am I making that face? he thought about the time, he never thought he was making such a face.

In meantime, old man was grinning looking at the photos, he was happy that he chosen right people that fully highlighted the essence of what he was trying to capture. He was fairly certain that this season of Armani would be sensational!

After this minor hiccup, the next shooting started, Samuel and Ashley were rejuvenated and were giving their best. With in few hours, they were done with second set of youth series and third set which was about modern designs with little inspiration from the local culture.

It was eleven o'clock but they still needed to do one more shoot, the company was set to launch new set of jeans this season but the problem lied that they had to highlight it during the shoot.

George decided to make Samuel bare some skin, mostly his upper body would be naked while wearing low-rise jeans. It would reveal his full muscular body while the only piece of clothing on his body would be highlighted.

For Samuel it was not a problem, he was always in best shape of his life with his rigorous daily training the problem was Ashley, would she be able to be in tune with him?

She would also be in the same style with skinny jeans while wearing only a black bra which would be barely hiding her upper body.

When they dressed up, Samuel almost got a nosebleed looking at the stunning beauty. It was hard to notice up to this point but her baggy clothes hid most of her curves, especially her chest which was bouncing all over the place.

Her small waist didn't make things easier for him, he was having hard time not to stare at her as they were very close to one another.

The photographer smiled looking at these young couple, he started asking them to do various ambiguous poses. Somehow despite the heated atmosphere, they went through with it. That's when they asked for the last pose.

It was Ashley lying down on the ground while propping up her upper body. Samuel was instructed to go on top of her while maintaining few centimeters of distance. It was fair game but they asked him to place one hand on Ashley's chest.

Samuel instantly protested, it was fine but he felt it would be violating her privacy. How could they make them do such a absurd scene? Ashley was blushing heavily, she couldn't even look toward Samuel as he was asking to change it!

" Old man, don't you think it's a little over the line?" He asked.

" What? Are you a little kid? We are all professional here. I was afraid you would be like this which is why I left this part for the last." Old man grumbled.

" Why didn't you left it out all together?" Samuel rebuked.

" Kid, Don't teach me how to do my job!"

Samuel still wanted to argue a few words. He feared about the reaction of public along with the girls, they would definitely make a fuss over this. He just knew it!

" I,I c-can do it!" Ashley interrupted them. She didn't even dare to look at anyone, only staring at the ground with her head held low.

Old man looked at Samuel with a triumph expression. You see! the girl don't mind, if you still have any comment I can only tell are you really a man? He conveyed his feeling through his eyes.

Fuck! Samuel was trapped, he thought he would never see her agree to this but not that it came to this, he could no longer decline. He had no excuses left!

They set up according to photographer's request. Samuel was looking at her face from the top while debating where to put his hand. Her was going to slide it toward her stomach whey Ashley took his had and placed it directly on top of her left mound.

Shocked, Samuel subconsciously squeezed! Fuck! He was beating himself inside but what's done he couldn't change it. He had to endure while looking at alluring reaction on Ashley's face! She didn't expect it to go this way, she was looking at him fiercely fearing others would notice it.

Samuel was a little embarrassed and immediately retracted his hand and scratched the tip of his nose. He rarely showed it but it was one of his tell signs when he was feeling like it.

Unfortunately, these little actions were all seen by the staff. They were baffled, first he took advantage of the situation but now he was smelling it? What the hell was going on?

Samuel obviously realized that he had made a huge mistake. Staff member were fine but he had to convince Ashley that he didn't mean to do it.

"If I said I didn't mean it, would you believe me?" He looked at her innocently.

"keke." Ashley sneered. Although her eyes were a little cold, she too noticed he didn't mean to do it but what's stopping her from having a little tease? Finally the ball was in her court!

Samuel knew she meant no harm but her fake anger seemed to make her more cuter. Her charm was too great, it easily leaped beyond the scope of his defenses. Not getting anything concrete from Samuel she pushed further.

"Do you want me to hold your hand and do it again?" She too could act innocent, the best punishment was not to give any attention to the matter at all. Her attack were successful as Samuel stuttered for a little.

"Uh, t-that's not necessary."

" Too late!" She took his hand again.

Since it was the second time, Samuel was much more calm. This time he didn't made any extra moves and was very careful with his reflexes.

After the pose was set, the photographer demanded some genuine expressions.

"Okay, look at each other, yes with passion. Just like lovers, good, tilt your head a little to the left." Although sometimes, photographer made unrealistic demands. Samuel and Ashley were already lost looking at each other.

Their expressions were full of tenderness and extra flirty.

"Yes, yes, that's it, hold on, I will get few more shots."

The camera kept on flashing while Samuel got lost in his crooked thoughts. He was half cursing the photographer for having strange fetish while trying his best to calm himself down while staring straight into Ashley's dark eyes.

He was a healthy young man with a high rate of going berserk, wasn't it too cruel to make people put on such shameful poses?

" Samuel? Sami?" Ashley's voice rang in his ear.

" Hmm? What?"

" It's done, you can let go now?" She smiled looking at his face. It turned out that while he was thinking about strange things, the photographer had already announced the closure.

" oh, ah, right...."

" If you didn't have enough, we can continue..." She grinned heavily implying something entirely different.

" Oh, umm.." He let go, a little embarrassed again wanted to touch the tip of his nose but forcefully stopped his actions halfway. He could say it was a mistake one time but doing it twice would be very bad!

Nonetheless, Ashley caught his movements, seeing him repeating like a broken record. She sighed for all the wrong reasons. Samuel didn't know but he was already classified as a pervert rather loosely by many people today!

For Ashley he was saved as she saw him doing it again, at least he was not doing it voluntarily which restored some faith for her.
