The sound of Dart's alarm wakes them the next morning, still entangled they smile and snuggle up for a few more minutes. "Morning gorgeous. This is my favorite part of the day, waking up with you." 

Jo mumbles a bit, not fully awake yet, her voice sounds soft and hoarse when she says: "My favorite part is falling asleep in your arms." 

Darts smiles and whispers: "Perfect fit then." He kisses her nose and gets out of bed to take a shower. 

Jo sneaks in with him about a minute later. Dart washes her hair, massaging her head and Jo washes his back. They dry off together and Jo braids her hair, while Dart shaves. He gets dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, not bothering much, because he won't be wearing his own clothes for long. 

Jo gets a blue dress out of her suitcase and blue lace underwear to go with it, she puts it all on and then asks Dart to help her zip up. He kisses her shoulder and helps her out, his eyes going a bit darker as he catches a glimpse of her lingerie. She finishes the outfit off with blue ballet pumps.

Dart whistles at her and says: "They are going to think you are the model. I don't stand a chance today. Not that I ever do with you around." He laughs and holds out his hand to her. Jo puts her hand in his and they walk out of the room together, Dart looking all proud. Outside there's a taxi waiting for them, to take them to the location of the shoot.

They reach the building and Jo recognizes it, Dart stiffens up and walks into the door fast. Jo squeezes his hand and he looks at her with a grateful look in his eyes. They are welcomed by a man who must be the designer. He shakes Dart's hand with a lot of energy and then turns his gaze to Jo. 

"This must be her, no? Lovely hair and the figure of a real woman, very nice. And you obviously love her. Exactly what we were hoping for." Jo blushes slightly, but smiles at the happy go lucky nature of the man. "Oh sorry, I am being rude. I am Tom Tailor and I am very happy you are here." 

He holds out his hand to Jo and she shakes it.
"I am Jo. I am happy to be here too."

Dart laughs softly at the situation. 

"Okay Jo, I will send your man off to become even more handsome. I will take you to the rooftop to find a perfect spot for you to watch it all and to introduce you to the photographer."

Dart looks at her to see if she is okay and she leans in for a small kiss, to show him she's fine. He smiles at her and walks away to get ready. Jo follows the designer, a bit shy without Dart. They walk up to the roof and Jo looks at the set-up with growing curiosity. 

A man walks up to her, with a camera around his neck, looking at her from head to toe. Jo feels a bit uncomfortable and the man notices. "Sorry, it's second nature to look at people like that. But I realize it is rather rude, especially if we haven't met before." He holds his hand out to her and introduces himself. "I'm Dirk, I'm the photographer and I will direct the commercials." 

Jo hears his name and introduces herself: "I'm Jo. Are you Dutch?" 

Dirk looks shocked for a second and then speaks. "Ja. Mijn moeder is Nederlandse." 

Jo smiles as he tells her his mother is Dutch. She tells him that she hasn't spoken Dutch for a while and that it's nice to meet a fellow Dutchie. 

"My Dutch is not very good. But my mother is going to love it when I tell her I met a pretty Dutch lady on a roof." They talk about Dutch food and holidays and then Dirk stares at her and squints his eyes. "Wait a minute! You are Dart's girl, aren't you?" Jo nods and smiles. "So I am getting you in front of my camera at some point. Nice. I look forward to it." 

Jo thinks for a second and then goes for it, before Dart shows up. "Maybe you can help me out with a gift for Dart. It's going to be his birthday soon and I want to give him something personal. But I am not very confident and I need a friendly photographer to help me." 

Dirk smiles and says: "Oh leave it to me Jo. I can hook you up. I will figure out when we will have time to do something without him walking in on it." He points at the other side of the roof and Dart walks up, dressed in a tight-fitted suit.

Jo smiles and stares at Dart with fiery eyes. Dart catches her looking at him and winks at her. She fans herself, before placing a hand on her chest. He smiles and strikes the first pose. Dirk moves in closer, taking a few pictures and checking them on his camera. He gives Dart some pointers and he follows them perfectly. "Now stare in the distance thinking of Jo and how much you miss her." Jo stares at Dart and sees the pain in his eyes from where she is sitting. He is so impressive. "Now take off the jacket and pretend to look at a picture of Jo on your phone." Darts takes his own phone out his pocket and looks at it with so much love, that Jo feels warm inside. 

"Awesome Dart! If you keep this up, it will be very hard to pick the best ones." Dirk walks towards a table with a laptop to load the pictures onto it and tells Dart to get changed into the next suit. He waves Jo over to come and look at the pictures with him. Jo stares at them with her mouth open. "Yeah, you have gotten yourself a very handsome man." 

Jo whispers: "Yeah." Insecurity washes over her and she rubs her arms. 

Dirk, very skilled at reading people, opens a picture on the screen and points it out to her. "Look at that face. It's the face of a man in love." Jo looks at the picture and sees Dart staring at his phone and on the screen of the phone is vaguely visible what he is looking at. It's the picture of her sleeping on his couch. Her insecurity quickly disappears, with Dart's love showing so clearly. She thanks Dirk and walks back to her spot, to watch Dart pose in a different suit.

The day goes by fast and Jo isn't bored for a second, she checks the final pictures of the day with Dirk. Smiling proudly at how gorgeous Dart looks in them. Then Dirk leans over to her and lowers his voice. "Tomorrow morning, at about 9 in your hotel room." Jo raises her eyebrows and he chuckles. "I am bringing props for Dart's gift. Don't worry about it, just go with it. It will be just me and a make-up artist. And Dart will be gone for some press stuff." 

As he tells her not to worry, she starts to worry, but two strong arms wrap around her from behind and they stop her worrying immediately. Dart looks over her shoulder at the laptop and asks her what she thinks. Jo clears her throat and tells him they are great. Dirk chimes in and grabs the laptop. "Have a good night lovers. Tomorrow will be another busy day." He winks at Jo and says goodbye in Dutch. 

Dart smiles and nuzzles her neck. "So did you get bored today?" 

Jo leans back against him with a happy sigh. "No, not for a second. Dirk kept me involved and I can watch you for hours. I felt so proud, looking at you, portraying all those different emotions. You were very impressive." 

He hides his face against her shoulder, feeling a bit overwhelmed by her words. Usually people just tell him he looks hot or that he's a hunk. They rarely compliment him for something other than his looks. And then coming from Jo, makes it even more special. 

Jo turns around and lifts his face up with her hands, seeing the emotion in his eyes. "Who is hiding now, huh? No need to hide with me." She covers his face with kisses. "I love everything about you, not just the awesome package it comes in." 

Dart closes his eyes and says: "Please Jo, don't make it worse. I am trying to control my emotions here." Jo smiles softly and pulls him in for a hug, allowing him to hide his face on her shoulder, while she strokes his hair. He takes a deep breath and lifts his head to place his forehead against hers, keeping his eyes closed for a moment. He opens his eyes and Jo can see that he has gained back some control.

"Come on Dart. Let's find something to eat." She takes his hand and pulls him towards the door, he follows her without a word. Dart is worried that she feels like eating in a restaurant, but relaxes the second she tells the cab driver to take them back to the hotel. She squeezes his hand in silence and he lays his head on her shoulder. Once they reach the hotel, they go straight up to their room and Dart sits down on the couch. Jo calls room service and orders sushi. She walks over to Dart and sits down on the table in front of him. "You need to talk to me now. Or I will get scared. I stayed quiet for as long as I could." She sighs and places her hand on his cheek.

He looks at her and nods, talking in a soft voice. "I am sorry. I always get emotional after a day like that. And your words hit me, hard." 

She can sense how hard it is for him to put his thoughts into words and tries to help him: "You are not used to compliments about something other than your looks, right? You even think your looks are all people see. Maybe even think that's all you are." Dart nods, a bit surprised, as Jo continues: "Yeah, I get it. Now you know how I feel when someone, you especially, compliments my looks." 

The look in his eyes changes and she can tell he gets it. He says: "Yeah...I think I get you better now. You don't think you're gorgeous, so it's hard to hear it, even harder to believe it." 

Jo nods and smiles. "Exactly." She gives him a little kiss and then says: "I have seen how people act when you are not around and heard what they say about you. Most of them talk about how hot you are. But the people that make the decisions all praise you for your professionalism. You better start believing it yourself. You are good at what you do." 

She winks at him and gets up, when she hears a knock on the door. The food has arrived and she thanks the waiter. She walks over to Dart and asks: "Dart? Could you please help me out of this dress?" She knows it will snap him out of his thoughts and they need to unwind and eat. Dart leaps up, to help her out of her dress and Jo laughs. He takes off his shirt with a crooked smile, while Jo gets up to bring the sushi to the table. 

She sits down in front of the couch and starts to eat immediately. Dart smiles and asks: "Are you sharing? Or should I keep my distance?" 

Jo laughs and shakes her head. "I am in a sharing mood right now, you're safe to eat." 

Dart slides down from the couch to sit down next to her and they eat in silence. Jo stretches out and looks Dart over, still a bit worried. He eats the last piece of sushi and leans back against the couch, closing his eyes.

Jo gets up and walks over to the bed, sits down on it and takes her bra off, throwing it towards Dart. He opens his eyes and looks for her, smiling when he sees her sitting up in bed. She beckons him to come over and he gets up, taking his jeans off on the way. She pulls the sheets away and he gets into the bed, snuggling up to her with his head on her chest. She wraps her arms around him and kisses his hair. She feels him relax against her and she sighs happily. 

He smiles against her chest and says: "You sure know what to do, when I am being an idiot."

 She strokes his back and says: "You're not an idiot. You're just as human as the rest of us. Even though you look like something out of this world. It makes me feel even closer to you, than before. And I love to try and make you see what I see in you. Even if it makes you feel uncomfortable."

Dart looks up at her and says: "Same. I love making you see what I see." He lays down on his side, one hand under his head, using his other hand to play with the charms on her necklace. "Jo? About tomorrow... I have press stuff tomorrow and I can't take you with me for it." 

He looks at her all sad and Jo replies: "I know. Dirk told me. He is meeting me for coffee here at the hotel. We are going to gossip about you for hours." She laughs at his surprised face. "Stop worrying so much. I am fine and I trust Dirk. I will just yell at him in Dutch if he misbehaves. It will remind him of his mother." 

She laughs again and Dart chuckles, shaking his head. "You surprise me every day." 

Jo looks deep into his eyes and says: "Oh just you wait, there might be more surprises soon." Dart starts to tickle her, when her phone beeps. "Mercy, mercy! It's probably Jake." 

She jumps out of bed to get her phone and looks at the message. It's not from Jake, but from Dirk.

What size shoes do you wear?
I'm bringing a black and white dress shirt that Dart wears in the campaign, a tie and I will bring some pumps. 

He sends a picture of a very sexy woman in a male shirt, buttons all open, just barely covering her chest and wearing red stilettos. Jo blushes and hopes Dart won't notice. She replies to Dirk with her shoe size, adding she is nervous about it. 

Just imagine the look in his eyes, when you present him with a framed print of you looking like that. 

Jo smiles at the thought. And it would be an awesome way to show him she is all in for her part of the campaign too. She sends Dirk a thumbs up and walks back to Dart. 

She finds him asleep in the bed. She covers him with the sheets and checks his phone to look at his schedule for tomorrow. He needs to be downstairs at 8.15, she sets his alarm at an hour before that and walks over to the other side of the bed. She sits up with her legs under the sheets and starts typing a message to Jake. Jake replies quickly. 

You better not be worrying about me.
Have as much fun as you possibly can out there! 

Jo smiles at her phone and asks him how he is doing, adding she is having a great time. Jake replies with a selfie of him and Maria, making funny faces. Jo giggles and sends him a kiss emote back. 

She looks at Dart, sleeping deeply with his hair all messy and she takes a picture of him. She puts her phone away and kisses his forehead, before curling up next to him. He pulls her close in his sleep and she drifts off, feeling relaxed and protected.
