Love Behind the Lens Chapter 75
AdiraI knew I needed to eat something or I was going to be too weak to work tonight for the final shoot so I called down and ordered a minestrone soup. With my soup came a delivery of flowers. An entire luggage cart of flowers - all kinds. Roses, and tropicals and even simple daisies and tullips. I had them bring them in and place them on any available surface they could. by the time they were done my room looked and smelled like a floral shop. Oh god. I hope he didn't buy the whole store. I sighed as I took the tray with the soup and went to sit on the balcony. I noticed a note on it and opened it, unsure where it had come from.Petra,I want to first ask that you finish reading this to the end before setting it down. I know that I own you so much more than this apology, but I wanted a place to start. I am sorry that I was disrespectful and did not take your feelings, and concerns into consideration. It was wrong of me to try and put you in that position. I wish I coul

AdiraI woke before my alarm went off , the smell of all the flowers almost choking me. But in my half awakened state I actually had a really good idea. One that if I was quick I could pull off and it would definitely be a money shot.I found one of the night workers who was able to help me take them all down to the beach and arrange them the way I wanted. I then trudged back and got myself ready and returned to the beach to set up my gear. It was right before sunrise, in twilight so I had about an hour to get some good shots. I had them set on 45 second timers, 15 seconds apart and began moving through the different poses. I thought about Valentine and about the message I wanted to send to him through my work. I was starving by the time I finished, the sun shining fully down on me. I told the hotel to take the flowers and donate them to the nearest hospital to which they did gladly. I had breakfast delivered while I changed into my travel gear and packed away my cameras. I

ValentineI knew I looked like shit but I had a smile on my face today. Earlier I'd gotten a message from Petra saying she wanted to meet for lunch. And she'd even sent me a picture from her photoshoot. It was breaktaking. It made me wonder if Adira or Petra had set it up. I had every intention, if Petra and I worked things out, to print the photo she sent me for my desk.I had decided to cook today instead of having my father cook and invited him and Matteo over. I was actually running behind because I'd been so relieved hearing from Petra that I'd accidentally fallen asleep on the sofa. I hadn't slept much or well the last few days and had woken up to my cousin at the door. He took one look at me when I opened the door and asked me who died. I just rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen to begin prepping dinner. He followed me and I quickly explained to him what had happened before there was another knock at my door. I told Matteo to go get it since I knew it was my fat

AdiraIt was hard sitting there at dinner and not staring at Valentine. He looked worse than I expected him to with messy hair, wrinkled clothes and dark circles under his eyes. I know I probably didn't look much better but I actually felt bad for him. I was glad that Gio was there guiding the conversation. I could easily see how him and his cousin got into lots of trouble together when they were younger. He had that mischievious glint in his eye even now. Gio walked me out to my truck so we could have a moment to speak."I'm glad you made it to dinner cara. Does it help you feel better about tomorrow?" Gio asked as I held the door open for Charlie to jump in. I nodded and replied "Yes. I took the time and listened to his voicemails and read all his messages. I probably could have been more understanding and I hate to see him suffering the way he is. But at the same time I knew I needed to stand up for myself. You aren't mad are you?"He pulled me in for a hug and we stoo

ValentineI saw her face lit up when I handed her the roses and her kiss made everything better. I knew that I could apologize to her and that I hadn't completely ruined things between us when her lips touched mine. I had already spoken to Vicente about lunch - fresh bruscetta, a light salad, some zuppa tuscana soup and tiramisu for dessert. Once we sat down and she agreed to what I'd chosen for lunch I took her hand in mine. I could see the question in her eyes and was glad I didn't see any anger lingering there."Bella, I am so sorry that I didn't not listen the first time you told me no. I had no reason to be that way nor do I have an excuse other than I only want you on my arm. You are an amazing woman, beautiful, kind, smart. I want to be able to proudly show you off. I want the world to know that I am worthy of such a woman, that I have put my past behind me. I have never felt this way about a woman before and I want to see where this goes," I said. "I guess you could

AdiraI hadn't realized how much we had both needed that lunch. I felt things were a little more out there on the table afterwards and even though it made my feelings a little more scrambled I felt better knowing how he felt about me. I still had a few hours before dinner with Sebastian so I took the time to edit the photos like Adrian and I had talked about and spent a little time double checking the others before submitting them. Then I brushed up the others and sent them to Adrian so he could see what magic he could work.I made sure Charlie went out and had dinner before I got ready for dinner with Sebastian. I pulled my hair up in a high pony tail, the curls making it look a little fancier. I had washed the makeup off my face as soon as I'd gotten home so I just redid a little eye liner and some tinted lip balm before slipping into some soft gold sparkly dress pants with a solid black halter top. A pair of large gold hoops, some gold bangles and my strappy black heels comp

SebastianGod it felt like forever since I'd seen Adira, or tasted her lips. I was really starting to hate when she was away for more than a day or two but I knew that she enjoyed her job. I was glad to see she was just as anxious to go as I was. Luckily my place wasn't far and once we were in the elevator I let my desire for her take over. The call I'd gotten earlier hadn't actually been work but I'd deal with it later.I grabbed Adira and pinned her up against the wall in the elevator my hands under her ass to hold her up as I devoured her mouth. I nipped her bottom lip and when she gasped I dove right in. I could still taste the sake on her as our tongues danced. I felt her legs tighten around me, locking her in place as her hands took down my hair so she could burry her hands in it.When the doors opened to my floor I carried her out, our lips still sealed together. I held her up against my door one hand supporting her while the other unlocked the door. I carried her stra

Adira I smiled as I glanced over at Charlie who currently had his head out the window of my truck as we flew down the driveway to Gio's house. I hadn't seen my benefactor, who really was more like a father to me, in over a month. It had been worth it though. The shots I had gotten in Egypt were mind blowing. I couldn't wait to show him.Getting that contract was putting me one step closer to my ultimate photographer's dream of Greece. Of course, I could have gone already but I wanted to be INVITED. As I pulled up to the front of the mansion that Gio lived in there was an unknown sports car parked there. My heart started beating faster and after parking I took a few seconds to breathe. Charlie was over the center console and on my lap hugging me the minute I parked and his weight and warmth reminded me I was here and so was he. I wasn't expecting Gio to have company, even though I knew he was a busy man. He would normally let me know if he was with someone else so I could
