I just knew it was summer-themed and she was in a bikini and swimwear for most of the day which is why she's been so anal about her workout routine and eating clean. It's been a change to actually hear her suggest having veggies instead of pizza. I don't know why because she can eat what she wants and still look like a supermodel.

We drove to Malibu the music playing at a comfortable volume I sang along a little Nell mostly looked out the windows. "Can you stay? I mean do you have anything planned today?" I flicked my eyes to her she was already looking at me. "I was just going to chill at your mum's place with her. But I'm sure she won't mind me staying with you today." I say. "If you don't mind. It will be kind of boring so if you don't want to that's fine." "I want to." I reached for her hand and placed it on my lap before going back to holding the wheel. "Thanks."

We arrived early and Nell was whisked away into hair and make-up, I hung in the background out of the way she spoke to me and kept looking around for me to make sure I was still there which was adorable to see. "Princess?" She called I had moved to look at the outfits for the shoots only slightly out of her sight of vision. I went over to her and she reached for my hand. "Stay." "Okay, okay," I said squeezing her hand I stayed beside her talking, she was relaxing the longer she was there. The creative director came over to her to brief her on the first look and she took it all in nodding along she suggested a few things because she knew the processes well. He seemed impressed with her.

"We're going to be shooting black and white." "Okay," she says in a small voice. "That okay?" I knew it reminded her of her dad, he always shot in black and white. She forced a smile and nodded quickly. "Can we get you anything? Drinks?" "Lavender tea please if you have it." "If we don't we'll go send someone to get it for you." "From Hastings, Please." She says and he nodded. "You don't like that tea." "But you do." She says looking up at me. "Love you." "Love you." I pecked her lips before her lipstick was applied. "I'll be over there okay." She nodded and picked up her phone as I slipped away.

I felt in the way standing around her chair making the artists move around me instead it wasn't fair on them they had a job to do. When she was changed into her first outfit that stressed look on her face came back. I pushed my thumb between her eyebrows like she does with me and take her hand. "It's going to be okay." She nodded. "You look stunning," I say observing her. "Thanks." She looked around taking everything in. The building was crawling with people. "Your tea." "Thank you, Sam." She says smiling taking the tea before handing it to me. I sipped it and it was heavenly. "Hastings?" "Hastings," I confirm. "Good."

I watched completely captivated by her as she easily shifts positions moving into the artificial sunlight they had set up letting it catch her at all the right angles I guess her being a photographer really helped because she knows what will translate well through the lens.

She was currently sitting on a wooden bench her legs completely exposed as her body is covered in a wool kimono tied with a thick belt. her hair was messy and she looked effortlessly beautiful. It came so naturally to her.

"We got the shot." Someone called from behind me, I turned to go see it
