I Want You

('I Want You': part 1)

It was 8:45am when Darren woke up. Slamming off his ringing alarm clock, he slowly sat up on his bed and rubbed his eyes. "Bloody hell, why can't i just sleep in for one day?" he said, scratching his head.
He followed his usual daily routine: brushed his teeth, took a shower, got dressed, fixed his hair, (which took about an hour) grabbed something quick to eat and then called Daniel.
"Rise and shine, Danny boy. Another new and promising day awaits us"
Daniel yawned loudly. "Ya, i bet.....well, i'm almost done getting ready, all i gotta do now is brush my hair and then i'm outta here"
Darren chuckled. "Well, that shouldn't take you too long, huh, Danny? Alright, i'll see ya at the studio soon. Drive safely. Ciao" and then he hung up. Picking up his bottle of Calvin Klein's 'obsession', he squirted himself lightly several times and then left the house.

"Ok guys, now just turn a little to the right...ya, that's it...good.....now hold that for a sec....perfect" CLICK!
Both Darren and Daniel were blinded by the ever-so-bright flash of the camera.
(Crap!) thought Daniel. (One more picture and i'll go blind!) "Just a few more to go, ok guys? Just hang in there while i go and get a new film" said the photographer as he left the room.
"Oh my God" whispered Darren. "He's trying to kill us, i swear" Daniel wiped his sweaty forehead and nodded.
Then, the photographer came back into the room, and both of them resumed their previous poses.
"Alright, now just loosen up a bit.....maybe even smile for me...ya...a smile would be nice....come on, Darren, don't look so serious..."
Darren sighed and then did his best to force a smile.
"Excellent, now just hold that for a sec.....great!" CLICK!
Darren rolled his eyes in annoyance. He felt like a barbie doll, being forced to move a certain way and make a certain face.
The photographer stepped away from his camera and approached them.
Taking Daniel's left arm, he placed it on Darren's shoulder, and then stepped back to observe his new creation.
"Looks great, guys.....now, do either one of you feel uncomfortable?"
Daniel remained still, staring at the photographer blankly.
The feeling of having his arm resting on Darren's shoulder was certainly nothing to complain about.
Darren glanced at him. "Daniel, are you comfortable?"
He just nodded quickly, making no expression whatsoever.
"Fine then, just hold that pose while i take this shot, alright? 1-2-3"
CLICK!
After the flash, Daniel still remained posed; his arm on Darren.
Darren looked at him strangely. "Ok, Danny, the photoshoot is over now. You can take your arm off my shoulder"
Awkwardly, he slid his arm off of Darren and then looked down at the ground.
The photographer looked from Darren to Daniel, attempting to make sense of what was happening. "Are you guys ok now? We're finished for today, so you can go home or wherever you're headed to"
"Alright, thanks again, Jerry. We'll see you again tomorrow, same time, right?" asked Darren.
"Uh, ya.....see ya then" then he left the room.
Daniel looked around the studio and then at Darren. "Ok, Darren, i'll see you tomorrow" he said quickly, and then walked towards the exit door.
"I'll call you tonight" said Darren with a smile.
"Ok, bye" he replied happily and then walked out.
