Hey."
Rosa struts directly to the studio's back draft as if he is air.
Madam Desta comes close to Rosa to pacify her. She whispers, "I am aware of your history together. But his charming girly face fits this concept."
Rosa chuckles. Her lips curled a little upward.
"Sssh. Now you are humored. Well, actually we told them it was his boy next door look. Just concentrate on professionalism. Learn from Brie."
Rosa looks at where Brie is. She is laughing talking to Magnus, the photographer. Rosa's left brow lifts up. Oh, her former lover. They are still amiable after all this time. Well, Brie is Brie, and Magnus is a gentleman and most of all loyal. Too bad, Brie loves her freedom more than anything. Magnus can't tie her down. At least he respected Brie's opinion and they parted in good terms.
The male model, Jonas, walks to where Rosa is, wearing a cream colored tuxedo.
Rosa mumbles, "Hey yourself."
"Come on. Loosen up, Rosa. It has been some time. Are you still angry at me?"
"Hands on his chest," Magnus instructs.
Rosa snorts. Reluctantly put her hands on Jonas giving him a look.
Rosa, stop looking at him fiercely. Just look to your left side. I want to see affection in your eyes in three, two, one." Magnus click his camera several times. "Good Rosa. That's why you're my favorite girl."
Brie butts in, "I thought I am your favorite girl."
"Nope. You are my favorite woman," Magnus retorts.
Rosa looks at them and smiles and Magnus press his camera again.
Magnus walks to them and shows the picture. "I like that silly smile, Rosa."
Rosa's peeks at the picture saying, "I think Brie is the silly one."
"I know, right," Magnus seems to agree with Rosa.
Magnus instructs, "Alright, Jonas put your arms on Rosa's waist. Rosa, lean on his shoulder facing me."
Rosa rolls her eyes. She'll just have to endure it just for today.
"Miss me?" Jonas asks her.
Rosa grits inwardly, smiling on the outside. She thinks her ears are going to bleed with all Jonas' non-sense.
"Why do you think I should miss you?" Rosa retorts.
Jonas calmly replies, "For old time's sake?"
Rosa sighs. "Well, it's old already. Just forsake it."
"You know I miss you so much and I still like you."
"You like too many girls."
"It's them who like me. What can I do? I am just being kind to them since I am a giving person."
"You're really very giving. That proves what a jerk you are." Rosa's patience for Jonas is about to run out but she holds on as she is still at work and they are still in front of the camera.
Both continue to argue while posing for different angles and Magnus just keeps on clicking his camera.
Brie and Magnus look at each other and shrug their shoulders watching the two squabbling subtly while posing continuously.
After another change of wardrobe, the pictorial finally ends.
Magnus declares, "And it's a wrap guys!"
The staff clap their hands in joy that they have concluded another successful project.
Brie teases Rosa asking Jonas, "Are you coming to the banquet tomorrow?"
Rosa reacts, "No, he is not. He's busy and he is not invited. Am I right, Madam Desta?"
Madam Desta looks at Jonas regretfully.
Jonas appears crushed but unperturbedly says, "As Rosa said, I'm busy. I have to fly to Portugal early in the morning for a catalogue shoot."
Jonas bows, "Have a good evening ladies. Ciao!" then walks away going to the car park.
"Let's have a lovely evening," Madam Desta veers their attention and drags them to ride in her red Maserati.
