Let's have some fun

Andy started set up in the bedroom with Josh's help. Josh pulled out all of the equipment from the bags - the studio strobe, soft light and reflector - while Andy moved around the room with her light meter. "Are you sure you can't stay?" she asked him, "You know I told Chriss, you were the perfect candidate for this assignment." She gave him a

Josh was already shaking his head. "No luck, Andy. You two aren't roping me into another one of these things." He straightened after plugging in the strobe. "Do you know what kind of hell I went through when the blokes at the office found out?"

She turned and faced him. "They were just jealous. Who knew they had an undercover Beckham in their very own offices." She watched him inwardly cringe under her scrutiny. She smiled and moved towards him, towards the door. "Oh, settle down," she nudged him with her elbow as she passed by, "Chriss would never hear of it. She's keeping you to herself from now on."

She left the room to find her sister who was with Jessica in the living room.

Chriss was in the middle of explaining to Jessica of her plans (her vision if you will), of the photo shoot. "...and we can set up the kitchen counter for make up and hair for right now, that's your forte. I'm thinking maybe we won't limit ourselves to just the bedroom. I want to do a few around the fireplace." She opened the portfolio she had in her hands and gave it to Jessica, showing her the sketches of each wardrobe piece with accompanying hair styles and color pallet for the make up

Lisa tried to look nonchalant as she came back inside the flat, trying to seem as if she'd been standing there the whole time instead of hiding out in the balcony. She waved a hand behind her back, trying to signal Mike so that he'd get himself up and back inside.

She tripped over some cords as she was walking around the television, smirking slightly to herself thinking she couldn't possibly be any use as a model now. Lisa cleared her throat and walked towards the kitchen. "So...doppelgangers and co., can I offer you guys something to drink? Water? Ale? Jäger?" Lisa mumbled the last bit of her offer, "Draught of the Living Dead?"

Andy met the small group in the living room. In response to Lisa's question, she inquired, "Is there a local shop for latte?" She turned to her sister and Jessica, "You two want?" she asked, already placing orders before Lisa had a chance to reply. "The bedroom is set for lighting, so I can make a run while you get to work."

Josh came up behind Chriss and kissed her cheek. "None for me, Andrea, I have to run." When Andy gave him a look he shrugged. "I told you Anna's concert is this afternoon. I promised I'd be there." He was only too happy to sit through his cousin's performance if it meant being as far away from a photoshoot as possible.

He gave Chriss' shoulder a squeeze, "Good luck, ladies." And headed to the door.

Mike watched all of the interaction as he stood in the balcony door, slow to follow Lisa. How she was able to get back in there and talk to this crowd was beyond him. And great... the only other bloke in the flat was leaving.

"I'll see you tonight." Chriss walked with Josh to the door, giving him a smile of approval and a small wave goodbye. After their televised spectacle in New York on New Years Eve, she put a stop to almost all public displays of affection between them. Suffice to say it was a difficult task, so they came to a compromise: no kissing when she has lip gloss on. And she wore it, often. "And if you must, tell your cousin I said break a leg."

Jessica took out a small notepad and pencil from her purse and started writing down the coffee orders for Andy, speaking out loud as she wrote, "Large iced Americano with one raw sugar and half & half for Chriss, I'll have a medium soy vanilla latte..." She looked up from writing at Lisa and Mike, "What would you like?"

[assuesco]

Lisa shook her head, looking across the room at Mike to make sure he answers as well. "Nope, I'm good." She turned her gaze back to Jessica and smiled, "Thanks though."

Lisa walked away from the kitchen, leaving Andy and Jessica to their coffee business, to the clothing racks. She had to admit she was actually curious what they'd actually be wearing, and deep down Lisa wanted copies of whatever photos of them the twins would take... especially if by chance Mike was forced to wear something like leather pants.

Mike came up behind Lisa, almost silently, trying not to draw any attention to himself. He didn't have any place to go to get away from this and Lisa was like a gravitational familiar force to which he let himself be pulled.

The door slammed as Andy left the flat. At least there wouldn't be any photos taken in the immediate future. "Lis," he said, "this is insane."

[assuesco]

"Yeah, uh huh." Lisa was only half listening to whatever Mike was saying as she replied, her attention mostly on the clothes she was shifting through on the rack in front of her. She pulled out an outlandish article of clothing and showed it to Mike.

"D'you think this is for you or for me?"

Mike's eyes bugged and he took a step back. "God. You I hope."
