JACOB'S POINT OF VIEW
I woke up hearing my phone's alarm. I took my phone to turn off my alarm before I got out of bed.
"Good morning, young master," I heard my butler Gabriel say outside my room.
"Good morning. What's my schedule for today?"
"You have a ten a.m. photo shoot with the XOXO and a meeting at two p.m. with Ms. Ashtrid Shaw and the executives for your upcoming debut as a new love team. Since your class for today was three to four p.m. science with Ms. Sky,"
"Okay, I'll be down any moment now," I said, and I went into my bathroom and took a shower. How could I meet my girl? I laugh, thinking I just called her my girl at that moment. How ridiculous I am, right?
After taking a shower, I went out and wore just a plain shirt and pants—nothing more to dress well. I will change when I arrive at the studio. Since we will have a photo shoot for our new album. Named 'Peter Pan." It's just a mini-album. As I went down, I saw my mom putting plates on the table.
"Good morning to my beautiful mother, just like the sun shines every morning."
"Oh gosh, stop that, honey; I know that already. Take a seat; we will have breakfast with your dad today." I sighed and combed my hair with my hand. I just shake my head. Until now, my mom hasn't let go of that jerk.
"Where's Jake, Mom?"
"He left early; he said he had an upcoming swimming competition for the nationals. How was your training, dear? I heard you will have a game with Bangtang Academy; how's training?"
"Well, we're not yet taking training; trust your son, Mom. I can win the game even without a single training session."
"I know you can, son, but you still guys need to train to coordinate and get your bodies ready."
"Well, I will tell them, but for now, I will have a photoshoot and meeting." I pull the chair over and sit while getting a piece of bread and putting some strawberry jam on it, taking a bite before I sip milk. I stood up and was about to leave when the jerk... My dad came in.
"About to leave? Let's have a meal first, son before you leave."
"I can't; I still have things to do."
"Acting as you care about your grades, I know what you're doing. You always put yourself in trouble for what? For some spotlight!" He raised his voice and was about to punch me, but I shielded my hand to cover my face.
"You're such a disappointment. Putting the spotlight on you makes my name next to it. Use your brain and not those punky shitholes of yours."
"Yeah, shitholes, just like you giving guts to come here after what you did to us before."
"You're still putting shame on me for why you became like that. You already knew that even I didn't do that. You were such a shame even before, not just like your brother. Look at Jake. He puts his name in the spotlight but in a good way. He keeps winning in his competition, not just like you."
"Yeah say everything you want I don't care anymore." I passed to him and ignore him I keep hearing him saying a word, I don't care I have my own money now I don't need to kneel to him anymore.
I unlock my car with my keyfob and get in. Drive to the studio. I don't know why I need to have such a jerk Dad. He's wasting not just my time but my mom's too. To think Mom chose to be such a girl like that to be with that jerk Even though she was his legal wife, she chose to be his mistress for his sake. She keeps giving him everything he wants, even sex.
I arrived at the studio and parked my car before I went out. I just grabbed my phone as I left for my car. I walk through the parking lot. I saw Raphael getting a cup of coffee in the corner.
"Hey dude, did you hear the news?"
"Nah, what is it?"
"I heard Ashtrid will join us." After hearing that I can't help but smirk. Staff are getting crowded in the corner as if someone just got in.
"It seems she's already here." I saw a girl walking with her manager, giving her a piece of paper. I can't help myself from drooling seeing her. I just felt Raphael up my jaw, which just dropped in her beauty.
"Dude, you're drooling; I know she's hot and pretty, but dude, they may see you." I fixed myself and walked like nothing happened when I heard the director calling me. I walked back and went to the director.
"Jacob, I want to introduce you to this fair lady by my side. Jacob Piercee, this is Ashtrid Shaw." I heard her chuckle.
"Oh, come on, Director Tyler, of course, I know this guy. I saw him at their concert. I just went with my best friend." Hearing her voice made my heart beat fast. I offer my hand.
"I'm Jacob Piercee. Nice to meet you, Ms. Shaw."
"Oh, nice to meet you too, Mr. Piercee." She accepts my hand as we shake hands. I was looking straight into her eyes, but she looked in another direction and let go of my hand.
"Change your outfit now, guys, before we start the pictorial." We went to our room, and I was about to end when I saw the boys in my dressing room.
"I'm Jacob Piercee. Nice to meet you, Ms. Shaw," Jay said as he pretended to be me. While Lance pretends to be Ashtrid.
"Oh, nice to meet you too, Mr. Piercee." Raphael went in front and pretended to look at me and see that I was drooling over Ashtrid.
"Dude, you got the Ashtrid spark too?" Kai said as he snapped into my face.
"What do you mean, Ashtrid Spark?"
"A lot of boys got stunned when they saw Ashtrid coming all the way. All of his fans were stunned by her beauty. Can't you see she was like a goddess looking down just to be with us? Some of them called her the new 'Aphrodite' with her looks. No wonder why she got you stunned like that. Even if I see and get introduced to her, I will get stunned."
Her fair skin, red glossy lips, and even her black silky hair make her stun me. Seeing her eyes look into mine for just a few minutes, I can ask myself, "Who's this lady, and where did she come from? Where she was all my life, I exist in this world.' Now I know where they are coming from.
My designer got me an outfit to wear; it's just a brown blazer and pants. As I went out, I heard them whistle and clap.
"Now tell me how we can concentrate now, dude. Being that body might get her attention," Lance said while clapping his hand.
"Nah, don't worry, I won't put some spotlight on me today; I'll give you guys a shot to get it." I laughed before I left my dressing room. I don't need to put makeup on my face, even if it were foundation; my bare skin is enough to show the natural beauty of my face.
I saw Ashtrid in the chair in the center wearing a light brown ball gown dress that was just above the knee. I saw her look directly at me and sign me to go with Ashtrid. The photographer choreographs what pose I will do.
"Hold her waist, Jacob, while looking into each other's eyes. I want to see you guys are in love with each other and that this is not the first time you guys met." I held her waist while looking into her eyes. I can see his brown eyes looking at me with a glimpse.
I don't know what to do, but seeing her eyes makes my heart beat fast. Just like when I was looking into someone I've known for so long, I didn't know what to do. I fix myself before I leave, change my outfit, and get into my car.
We shot five more poses before it went to a group, and we are the only ones with the same color. while Raphael was wearing a black suit and pants.
Lance and Jay wear pink suits, while Jay wears a gray one. Lastly, Kai wears the red one. I don't know what the final touch is, but it seems good. The director called it. The day before we left, I saw her not remove the makeup she was wearing; maybe she still had an appointment. Oh, shoot, I forgot that appointment was with me. I was driving all the way through the company.
