A One Night Stand, Lingered To A Fling

It's The Start Of The End

June 2009 - London.

"Casey are you sure you wanna do this, it's completely out of your usual work" Stephanie asked for the millionth time. I rolled my eyes and nodded. In the last few months I had been asked to do a few modelling jobs in London, I usually said no. Mainly because of my history in London but this time I looked into the clothing line that wanted me to model for them. It was a new line called Down But Not Out. The creator, Josh Franceschi was the lead singer in a band called You Me At Six and they seemed really cool. So I decided to give it a shot, they weren't a big professional company that were gonna fuck me over. I tried to think of it as like Drop Dead... some guy in a band trying to make his clothes popular.

My style had changed a lot in the last three months, I had a sleeve and a few tattoos on my legs. I guess you could sorta claim me as an alternative girl but I don't really like labels. One thing that I have learned about myself is that I can't forgive people so easily, Oli has tried many times to get me to forgive him for cheating on me but I can't bring myself to do it. Whenever I go back home for the weekend he tries to come over and hang out but I usually find a way to get out of it. The final straw was when he got a tattoo for me. Like getting a tattoo for someone specifically is bad enough but the fact that he got one for me when I ended it with him is pathetic.

There was a few models working on the shoot but I was the main one. We were in some abanonded warehouse for the shot, it was quite nice. Stephanie was helping me out with my clothes. "Do you think that Josh dude will be here?" I asked.

Stephanie turned to me and smirked. "Are you hoping he is?" She asked with a sly smile. I laughed and shook my head.

"Shut up, I just wanna know if I get to say thanks" I said pulling a shirt over my head.

"Depends how you say it..." She winked.

"Oh shut up" I laughed. I haven't really seen any pictures of this Josh guy anyway, so I don't even know if he's good looking.

"Just don't do anything I wouldn't do" She smiled at me. Stephanie is a pain in the ass at times but I wouldn't be here without her, after the break-up things got a little sketchy for me. She dropped work to come down to London for the shoot, knowing what happened when I lived here she didn't want me going on my own. What are best friends for?

"Casey, you're up" A voice called from the other side of the screen that was put up for the models to get changed behind. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself. I didn't recognise myself anymore...

I walked out and the photographer greeted me. "Hey, I'm Louis. I hear you're a photographer yourself so you won't have too much trouble here" He smiled.

"Yeah, I'll be easier to work with than usual" I laughed. I walked over to where he pointed me to and we began.

It's very different being on the other end of the camera. I guess now I respect models more than I did before, now knowing what it's like to be up here myself. After an hour of shooting and discussing different aspects of the shoot in general a voice spoke up from behind where I was standing. "Is this my model then" a very southern London accent asked.

I turned to look at the owner of the voice, infront of me stood a guy with longish brown hair, he looked very confident and self aware but in a nice way. He smiled at me and walked over. "Hi, I'm Casey" I held my hand out. He took it and kissed it lightly.

"It's alright I know who you are, I did ask for you to be my model. I'm Josh Franceschi the owner of Down But Not Out" He smiled knowingly. He was confident in a completely different way from Oli and it intrigued me. Oli sorta acted arrogant in a way but it was an action that pulled you in for more, it made you wanna be around him but Josh was... nice. I liked it.

"Well thank you, I'm not a model at all actually. I'm a photographer and this is totally out of my comfort zone. I really like your designs though, I would totally buy these clothes" I said as I looked down at my attire.

"No need to buy them. You can have them for free, infact you can have a lifetime free supply of DBNO" He winked. I couldn't helped but blush a little, he was very intriuging.

"Oh you don't need to do that" I looked down at my feet.

"Well with you as my model then I'm gonna be rolling in the cash, people are gonna wanna buy these clothes because of you" He grinned. I smiled at him and hugged him.

"Thank you" I whispered.

"No problem" He said as he pulled back. "Okay, I'm going out on a limb here so don't be too mean when you say no but would you like to go out with me tonight? I have this thing I'm going to a friends party in town and I need a date. The guys have dates except Max so your friend could come. It'd be nice to get to know you better" He rambled on.

I smiled at how flustered he was getting. "Yeah, we'd love to come" I nodded.

"Really? Oh great, you've made my day Casey" He smiled. It looked like he wanted to jump around with excitement.

"Well we're staying at a hotel in the city so just give me a ring and we'll meet you wherever this place is" I suggested.

"Yeah that sounds fine, I have your phone number anyway" He smiled.

"Well I best go get Stephanie and get ready. Thank you for the invite and I'll see you tonight" I told him. He gave me a hug and said goodbye. I walked over to find Stephanie and tell her our plans.

"Ready to go model" She asked looking up.

"Yeah, guess who we're going out with tonight" I flashed her a grin.

"Josh?" She asked. I nodded enthusiastically and she rolled her eyes. "It looks as though you have a little crush on him" She said standing up.

"He is cute" I smiled.

"He is 19" Stephanie pointed out. My jaw dropped.

"He's 19? What? Oh my God. Is it weird I still wanna go out with him tonight?" I asked.

"No, you're 22 it's only 3 years older" Stephanie laughed.

"I guess, I don't know. He's still really nice and I didn't think he seemed that young, I thought he was the same age as me" I made a face.

"As long as he's legal" Stephanie winked.

"True, true" I grinned. "Let's go get ready for the night, we have dates" I winked.

We drove back to our hotel and had a few drinks, got our hair and make-up done and then got dressed. I was wearing a strapless black dress that goes down to my mid thighs and black heels. Stephanie was wearing tight red dress with long sleeves that goes down to her thighs also with red heels. We looked great, not to be modest but I think we looked really nice.

Josh phoned me and we made arrangements. I still had no idea where it was we were going or what party it was. Me and Stephanie were a little drunk when we met up with Josh and the rest of his band. They all seemed really lovely. We went into the club and Josh told us the V.I.P area wasn't open yet where the party was being held so we went to the bar and got some drinks, in effort to get to know each other.

"So Casey, why did you decided to be a model for Josh?" Max asked. I sipped my drink and then smiled at him.

"Well, I know someone who started a clothing line and I didn't get to help out at the beginning so I wanted to be a part of this" I explained.

"Fair enough, you have a great look so I'm sure it'll help Josh out" Dan nodded.

"Thank you" I grinned at him.

Josh looked at his phone then looked at us. "V.I.P area is open, let's go party" He winked at me.

I downed the rest of my drink and placed the glass on the bar. Josh grabbed my hand and we began walking through the club. Dan, Matt, chris and their girlfriends walked infront of me and Josh. Stephanie and Max were behind us. The guy ticked us off a list and then we walked through into the room. I looked around then stopped dead in my tracks when I seen where I was.
