On the morning of their scheduled photoshoot, Aubrey stared at her closet without really seeing anything inside. She couldn’t stop thinking about last night, not only about meeting Tom’s strict father, but the way things had gone south after he’d left. And the fact that she’d wanted Tom to kiss her last night, had almost hoped he would, but of course he hadn’t. Because we are just friends.

Aubrey would’ve been lying to herself if she said her heart hadn’t sank last night during the conversation about Tom’s ideal girl. She wanted to kick herself, both for letting the discussion happen, and for the way it made her feel completely inadequate. Even with her strangely mixed emotions about Tom, even if she would want to be his real girlfriend, now she didn’t think she’d ever be good enough for him.

Aubrey sighed again, tugging a shirt off its hanger. The writer who’d emailed her, Courtney, had said to bring a few things she felt comfortable in. Now that Aubrey had her entire wardrobe in front of her, she hated every last piece of fabric. All confusing thoughts about Tom aside, this was still a photoshoot for a magazine, and Aubrey wanted to look great. Luckily, her hair was behaving today, holding the long, loose curls she’d spent half an hour on after perfecting her makeup.

Aubrey threw on her standard black tank and favorite ripped jeans, but grabbed several other things – probably way too much, but better to have options – and headed out the door. Driving to the studio using the address given to her by the writer, she managed to arrive at the same time as Tom, who unloaded his own bag of clothes from the passenger seat.

“Hey,” Aubrey said, unsure how to greet him out here in the open.

“In case anyone’s watching.” He bent down and brushed his lips against her cheek, leaving her skin tingling. His husky voice lingered in her ears with his soft, “Hey.”

They walked into the studio together, both stopping in their tracks at the mock kitchen setup inside the lavish, modern space. Most of the utensils were toys, bright and colorful, and ingredients lined the shelves above fake stoves. A soft click caught their attention, and Aubrey glanced over to see a photographer adjusting his equipment and tripod.

“Hi, guys!” A female voice shouted from the back. “You must be Aubrey and Thomas. Congratulations on winning your awards!”

A young woman appeared from the small office to the side, waving at them.

“I’m Courtney,” she said enthusiastically. “I’m the writer for our feature, thanks so much for being here. This is Robert, our photographer.”

An older man by the camera offered them a friendly wave, but otherwise stayed where he was, looking over his camera.

Courtney continued to talk a million miles a minute, leaving Aubrey’s head spinning. “I’m also coordinating everything today. Let’s go over everything in case you have questions.”

They got the tour, including the restrooms and changing rooms. Courtney urged them to get ready, which Aubrey took as “change out of those clothes immediately.
