PIERRA'S POV

I was falling in love. Too soon. I think not. I'd had a crush on Andrew for years and even though we'd only been dating for a few months I was more than ready to take that next step. Andrew was perfect, he was a good listener, took care of me and gave me cuddles whenever I asked. I knew there was more to falling in love but I already had all that. Andrew was mature, goal oriented, loved his family and he actually made time for me. Time, trust, loyalty and love were all I really required in a relationship and Andrew was giving me all of them, well besides the love part. We hadn't exactly said the words yet but I wanted to more than ever.

My feelings for him had been growing exponentially and the more I got to know him the more I fell for him. I'd never had those feelings before and when I told my mom what I was feeling she just laughed and told me that I was in love. I thought about it and realized that she was right. Andrew was starting to mean the world to me and I didn't want to ever loose him. I didn't care who confessed their feelings first as long as I got to tell him how I really felt. We had lost so much time being scared and I never wanted that to ever happen to us again.

My phone rang next to me on the bed and I smiled when I saw Andrew calling me. I had thought of him so much, I had willed him into reaching out to me.

"Hi Andre."I picked up excited to talk to him.

"Hi beautiful. What are you up to?"He asked.

"I just finished folding my laundry so I'm thinking of what to do next."I replied crossing my fingers hoping he'd invite me over.

I could just go and see him and he'd be happy to see me but sometimes it felt nice when he actually invited me. It made me feel wanted.

"How about I suggest something?"He requested with a hint of hope in his voice.

"What did you have in mind?"I asked sitting up straighter.

"I'm good friends with a photographer here in campus but he only does studio shoots since he owns one. I made it to the top ten finalists for the competition I told you I was entering but in order to make it to the top three finalists I need to show that I can be a versatile photographer."He ranted out.

"Andre you're rambling, just get to the point babe. How can I help you get to the finals? Congratulations for making it this far by the way, I'm really proud of you."I replied with smile.

Andrew was really talented and deserved all the good that was coming his way.

"Thanks babe and you can help me by being my model. I really want to win this but I've never really worked with a model in a studio before. I just thought you'll be a nice fit since you'll be patient enough if I mess up and you're also experienced so it will...." He rambled inn and I had to stop him.

"Andre stop and breath."I commanded and he immediately shut up taking in a deep breath."Good and yes I will help you."

"Really?"

"Of course babe, just tell me what outfit to wear, where to meet up and the time."I replied.

"Just come by my place at around seven pm that's when he closes. He gave me the studio key and so as not to mess with his schedule we'll have to work at night. Please put together a couple of outfits so we can have a variety."He explained.

"I'll be there."I promised him.

"See you soon."

"Ivy?"He caked out preventing me from hanging up.

"Yes Andre."

"Thank you for this."He expressed and I smiled.

"Anytime. I'll be there at seven. Bye."

"Bye."

We both hang up and I hugged the phone to my chest thinking about just how happy Andrew made me. He was always so thoughtful and kind. I really hoped he got to achieve all his dreams, he deserved it for all his effort and hard work.

It was five in the evening so I got off my bed and chose five of my best outfits that would be good for Andrew's shoot. It took me an hour and half to get ready since I shaved every hair on my body except for the hair on my head. I needed to looked good for Andrew so that his photos would be perfect enough for him to win.

Packing everything up in one of my signature purple backpacks I made sure my house was secure before I grabbed my phone and keys leaving the house. The walk to Andrew's room didn't take long since I had my airpods on and could tune out the whole world. I let myself into his apartment five minutes past seven and found him packing his cameras into a bag.

He smiled when he saw me and stopped what he was doing to give me a quick kiss on the lips. I sat on his bed leaning on my elbows as I waited for him to finish packing.

"Did you eat yet, we can pass by the restaurant for a bite to eat before we head over. The shoot might take a while."He offered.

"I can't eat now, I'll be bloated for the shoot and don't worry about me, I'm fine. I had a late lunch thirty minutes before you called so I'm good for the next few hours."I explained and he hummed.

He was not pleased with my answer but he couldn't argue with my logic so he was letting it go. He finished up, strapped his bag on his back, took my hand and led me out of his room locking the door behind me.

"Why have you never tried studio photoshoot?"I asked as we weaved through the evening traffic of people going about their business.

"Don't tell Joshua this, he's the guy who owns the studio we're going to use but I think Studio photography is too easy. I mean you can control the lights and there's not that many variables to work against. Nature photography is so much different because you're literally working with or against God to find the right angle, perfect lighting and nothing is certain out there."He expounded.

I loved how Andrew was so passionate about what he did. It meant that he loved his work and I admired that trait in him. Not many people could claim they loved what they did, they were mostly in it for the money but not Andrew. Even I worked for the money, not because I loved being an ambassador. Sure it was fun and I got free clothes and shoes but it was also something I could easily give up and not cry over it. If Andrew found out he couldn't do photography anymore it would literally break him which spoke volumes about his love for his work.

"We're here."He announced as we stopped next to a three floor building tucked away near the market center. We walked towards the door marked J.J Studios. Andrew retrieved the key from his pocket and opened the door. He allowed me to walk in first before closing the door behind him. There was another door before we finally made it to the main studio room past the small reception.

Andrew turned the light on and it took a second for my eyes to adjust to the bright lights. I'd had my picture professionally taken before in a studio for work purposes so I was familiar with how everything worked but I had to leave all control to Andrew and let him run the show.

"So where do you want me?"I asked Andrew setting by bag down.

"Just change into your first outfit and get comfortable. The changing room is behind those curtains."He directed pointing to a set of curtains in the far corner of the room.

"Do I really need a changing room? It's just the two of us and you've seen me naked."I asked giggling and Andrew laughed too but it didn't reach his eyes.

I took tentative steps towards him and wrapped my hands around his waist making him stop whatever he was doing.

"Are you okay Ivy? What's wrong?"He asked and I smiled.

"Nothing, I'm okay I just wanted a hug."I replied snuggling into his chest and he hugged me back kissing my temple.

"It's just the two of us so no pressure. We are going to have fun, it's just like our first date just indoors."I prompted him and he nodded against my head.

"How did I get lucky enough to land you as a girlfriend?"He asked and I shrugged.

"Baffles me, I'm a prize."I joked and he burst out laughing, genuinely this time around.

"You're the best."He claimed kissing my forehead before leaning down to kiss my lips.

It was short and sweet which had me relaxing into his arms. I felt all tension leave his body too.

"Now finish setting up and let's have some fun."I announced getting excited about the whole experience.

Andrew chuckled before he nodded and we both got to work. My first outfit were high waisted blue jeans and a leso tied around my boobs look like a bralette top. I tied my curls unto a messy bun with a headband, put on some loop earrings and applied the appropriate make up.

"Wow you look absolutely gorgeous."Andrew praised when he saw the complete look.

"Glad your approve."I replied politely before taking my place on the stool Andrew had set up where the light was most concentrated.

"Are you ready?"He asked crouching into position.

"Yes, are you?"

"Definitely."He replied and we immediately got to work.

I was already used to photoshoots so I had a lot of poses in mind that Andrew seemed to approve of. He took pictures in many different positions until he was satisfied before asked me to change into my next outfit.

Wanting to try something different I changed into a complete traditional get up with beaded jewelry, dark make up, a white long dress and a while veil over my hair that I had quickly braided into two cornrows. When Andrew saw me he looked like he wanted to kiss me he couldn't, I had dark lipstick on and it was not smudgeproof.

"My African goddess."He praised and I beamed.

"At your service my king."I replied giving a bow and we both burst out laughing.

Andrew adjusted the lighting and we got to work. The outfit made me look innocent but badass at the same time which I totally loved.

My third outfit was a maxi off shoulder ankara dressed that flowed past my toes sweeping the floors. It was too extravagant so I didn't do any jewelry and stuck to light make up. I completed covered my hair with a headscarf made of the same material as my dress.

"You look like a Disney princess, if Disney princesses were Kenyan and as beautiful as you."Andrew complimented sneaking in a quick kiss before he started snapping away.

"My mom bought this for me and I am her princess so I'd say she nailed it."I replied sitting cross legged on the floor as per Andrews request.

"Your mom has good taste."

"I'll tell her you said that, it will make her week."I answered and Andrew just smiled as he took his photos.

My next outfit was a simple orange cropped top, black jeans as heels. I wanted to have at least one simple look so the whole shoot didn't look too exaggerated.

For my final outfit I changed into a baby pink crocheted cropped top, a matching sweater and high waisted panties. Andrew nearly swallowed his tongue when he saw me. "There's no way I'm sending photos of you in that outfit."He declared and I laughed.

"I didn't ask you to though I wouldn't mind. I trust you to do the right thing with the photographs we take here today."I assured him and he nodded.

"Thanks babe but fuck, why did you have to wear that? I'm getting hard."He claimed and his bluntness made me smile.

"Take the pictures first then we can see what to do about your little problem."I replied with a wink biting my lower lip.

"Here?"He asked surprised and I nodded.

"Why not it is just the two of us?"I shrugged.

"I swear you get sexier by the minute."He chuckled adjusting himself in his jeans before getting into position and taking the first photo.

Just to tease him some more I posed in the most sensual positions I could come up with. The bulge in Andrews pants grew and it was a wonder he could still move around with that rod in his pants. He powered through until he couldn't take it anymore so he put the camera down, walked towards me and pulled me into his arms.

He pinned me against the wall and devoured my mouth grinding his hard on against my throbbing lady parts.

"I want you so bad."Andrew breathed huskily as he sucked on my neck definitely leaving a hickey.

"Then take me."I replied and he immediately pulled away to get a good look into my eyes.

"Say that again."He requested and I smiled pulling him close to me so that my mouth was right next to his ear.

"I want you to take me against every surface of this studio."I declared and I heard him swallow hard.

"I thought you weren't ready to have sex yet?"He asked probably trying to be rational as I licked and kissed his neck.

"That was a month ago but I love you and I want us to finally take this final step."I confessed the words flowing out easy.

"You love me?"Andrew asked eyes wide open in surprise.

"With all my heart, soul and mind."I replied without a hint of doubt in my heart.

"I love you too Ivy. I have for a very long time and I'm so happy that you feel the same."He said leaning in to kiss me softly and gently.

"So shall we christen this place?"I asked wriggling my eyebrows making Andrew laugh.

He lifted me into his arms before setting me down on the clothes I had discarded carelessly on the floor.

I'd had good sex before but with Andrew it was great, probably because it was my first time having sex with someone I loved and that definitely made all the difference. It was my best first time with him and we really did christen the place leaving us both, more me than him, sore but happy and content.

Andrew and I were finally connected emotional and physically and it was the best feeling ever.
