Introductions
Ashley's POV
"Ethan is it not enough that I'm a rockstar and daughter of one?" I whine after arguing with him for hours over this stupid clause in my contract.
"No, Ash. We need to get you out there and start up that modeling career that your contract is currently holding you to. We've got a photo shoot already booked for tomorrow with a Spencer Carlin, the best photographer in LA right now on the rise to fame. Right now its just for the album cover and posters."
I groan, "Fine. Whatever. Some pervy guy is taking pictures of me in scantily clad outfits, can't wait." I say sarcastically.
I hear Ethan laugh, "I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, Ash." And with that he hangs up.
I sigh to myself and google this Spencer person. I don't bother with biographies because I don't give a crap so I go straight to his portfolio. I'm surprised at what I see. He does most of the out gay Hollywood figures.
I browse through photos and see one of Bridget Vassar, that soccer player for the US National team who models as well, with her girlfriend Alex Cooper. Alex Cooper's a TV Star with her own show. Clumsy Love. She's one of the head writers of the show and she's successfully kept a lesbian centric show running for quite a while. They've been together for a while now despite a few rumored scandals between Alex and her co-stars. But hey, if you worked with Alex. I don't think you wouldn't be tempted. Average height. Fairly muscular body. Long brown curly hair and blue eyes the pierce right into you. Her interviews are pretty hilarious if you've watched them. What? No I don't have an Alex Cooper obsession. She's perfectly good with her leggy supermodel blonde.
Back to the picture, it's tasteful as well as sexy. Bridget's straddling Alex's lap with a look of lust in her eyes and Alex is holding her by the hips, looking up at her with calm relaxed blue eyes and a smirk. This Spencer guy can sure take a photo.
I scroll to the next one. Alyssa "Wiley" Wilder. I've run into her a few times. She done some small acting parts, but she's most famous for her hosting job on Car Garage Wars. Total car buff. She's kind of tough looking, but a real softie from our conversations. That blonde is all muscle. Definitely a gym rat. Purple-streaked long blonde hair, a few tattoos and piercings. Wiley's up against a brick wall in a leather jacket and baggy jeans, looking reminiscent of a 50's greaser.
Next photo is of Wiley and her cousin, Samantha Worthington. Or "Sawyer" as the soccer fans like to call her. Captain of the soccer team Bridget plays on. Short-ish faux hawk blonde hair. She and Wiley look so similar when put next to each other. Sam is about a head shorter though. Sam's got a smirk as they sit on the floor. Sam's playing with a soccer ball in her hands and Wiley's laughing.
Scrolling over to the next, Brooke Leighton. Choreographer to the stars. She actually helped me out on tour with my band earlier this year. We became friends, but I haven't talked to her in a while. Brooke's a sexy little brunette with a gorgeous smile and a raspy voice to die for. Yes, we did have a fling but realized we were better off friends.
My phone buzzes as I receive a text. I look at it, it's from Lucy.
Anything planned for tomorrow rockstar?
Lucy Reed's a childhood friend of mine. We were best friends in high school before my music career took off. She currently owns the best lesbian bar around in my opinion. But hey, I might be biased.
I quickly text back, "Yeah, I've got some photo shoot I'm being forced to do to 'launch' my modeling carrier."
My phone buzzes again. Haha, sucks for you. Well Kyla's coming back from Milan tomorrow. You can tell her alllll about the fashion in the photoshoot. Lunch after? You, me, Ky and Arden?
I roll my eyes. Lucy was always blunt and teasing but she's fiercely loyal and a great friend. She's currently dating my twin sister, Kyla Davies. Kyla is a fashion designer and owner of Davies Designs. She's coming back from fashion week in Milan. We are not identical if that's what your thinking. Ha, no. That'd be too much hottness for the world to handle. Ky is about the same height as me. We have the same chocolate brown eyes. But she came out looking cute, whereas I was just hot with my curly brown hair that I've recently streaked red. Anyways Ky and Luce have got the whole puppy love thing and it's kind of sickening. What? We're all successful 24 year olds and they're all mushy. They live together at Luce's apartment down the street from her bar.
Arden is our younger sister. Who is also gay. Yes, Raife Davies, our rockstar father, bred lesbians out of all of us. He jokes sometimes that he wanted a boy but getting lesbians was the next best thing. We all love him. He's been a mentor in our career paths. Oh right, Arden is an actress. She does mostly movies and had a stint on a few shows. Like me, Arden isn't one for settling down.
Ky's always been the levelheaded voice of reason, whereas Arden and I are the ones living the partying rockstar life. Ky comes to clubs with us, but only if Lucy is off work or its at Lucy's bar, Sappho.'
I text back, "Yeah, I'll call you guys once I'm finished."
My phone buzzes. Alright talk to you then.
I walk down the hall to my sister's room. Yeah, Ard and I share a loft. We're both barely here and we don't mind if the other brings their flavor of the week by for a good time.
I knock on her door, "Hey Ard. Decent?"
"One sec." Arden calls out. I hear whispers and rustling of sheets. "Alright, we're good."
I open the door and see a smirking Arden with…Nikki Rivers? Wow, no wonder Arden looks like she's been thoroughly fucked. Nikki Rivers just happens to play Alex Cooper's love interest on Clumsy Love. Brown almost black hair, wavey, with light brown eyes and a flashy white smile. Nikki just smiles politely at me.
"Damn, Ard." She grins and wraps an arm around Nikki. "Nice catch." I wink at Nikki and she giggles.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever Ash." Arden smiles and pecks Nikki on the cheek. "What's up?"
"You, me, Ky and Luce for lunch tomorrow. After my photo shoot." Arden raises a brow.
"Photo shoot? I thought Ethan was gonna work around that modeling crap."
I roll my eyes, "Apparently not."
"Aw, I'm sorry, Ash. But hey, you look smokin' in anything so you won't have to do much. Looked at the photographer's stuff?"
"Yeah, he's pretty good. He's done mostly out gay figures."
"Oh yeah, like who?" Arden asks curiously, sliding her hand along Nikki's thigh, smirking.
"Wiley, Sam Worthington, Bridget Vassar, Brooke Leighton and Alex Cooper."
"Huh, well. This person must be good. Al is not a camera whore. She's not too fond of a lot of photo shoots that aren't for promotions of things she's writing or on a red carpet." Nikki speaks up.
"Oh right, forgot you work with Alex on a daily basis." Arden says, nuzzling into her neck. "Ashley's the one with the show obsession."
Nikki raises a brow at me and I try to defend myself, "Hey, whoa whoa. Not an obsession. I went on tour and I watched the seasons on DVD in the bus."
"Yeah, yeah. We all know that you have a lady boner for Alex." Arden grins and Nikki laughs.
"Ugh, shut up Arden." I grumble.
"Don't worry. It's hard to control myself sometimes on camera." Nikki winks. "Al and I…well we have chemistry. Hence the rumored scandals between us. She's a great kisser and person. Bridget's one lucky girl, that's all I have to say." Nikki shrugs and leans against Arden.
"So what's up with you two?" I point between them, changing the subject.
"Friends with benefits." They both say and laugh.
"We both know we're not in love. But we have some fun, ya know?" Arden grins and kisses Nikki's cheek who grins in return. "We met on my latest movie actually. Nikki's the lead and I'm a supporting character."
"Ah, so that's why you were gone for several months and returned for a couple weeks ago." Playing dumb. "I had no idea, I just thought you were having orgies at the beach house." I shrug and tease. She flips me off. "Anyways, I'm going to go work out some more before this photo shoot thing. Nice meeting you, Nikki. Hope to see you around more."
"Likewise, Ashley." Nikki husks out as Arden starts getting a little more handsy. I shut the door and change for the gym. Wonder what tomorrow's gonna be like. This guy better not be an asshole.
