London, England
Strong winds blew through the air, rustling the trees off to the side near the road. A man in a white shirt sat behind the wheel of the car, quietly cruising down an empty street while the evening sun began to go down. Peter sat on the driver's side, looking through the windshield at the dark clouds on the horizon. Next to him was Luke, sitting on the side and looking out the window through his pair of dark sunglasses. They were together today, all to take care of business around town. Finally, Peter had reunited with his friend and partner in business. It felt like it had been some time to get him away from Lucy.
Earlier in the morning, they had driven out of the West End of London to meet with a modelling studio. The studio known as 'Living Ornaments'. The headquarters was located in London but they also had a studio in L.A. and Miami back in the states. Word traveled fast through town, among the return of Lucy Pinder into the glamour industry. Luke brought Peter along, as they worked out the deal for a photoshoot. It would have to be next week, back in Miami. A high pay day was coming for Lucy with this shoot, it would instantly reach a magazine publication after it was done. With Lucy working solo and not signed to any agency so far, this kept Luke in good company to make deals with studios for photo deals.
Still while driving, Peter couldn't help but wonder if his friend was growing distant towards him. He had finally met Lucy Pinder himself, an introduction that happened over the morning. Peter still couldn't resist the thought that there was something going on and his old friend was keeping him out of it. Luke looked over at his friend and then back at the road in front of him. They were on their way back to their hotel that wasn't far off in the West End of London, close to Soho. While driving, Peter decided to strike up some conversation.
"You've found the goldmine with this Pinder babe. If only we had met her years ago."
"I know, I'm quite lucky."
Peter glanced over at his friend and then back at the road. His choice of words was rather revealing.
"You're the lucky one? I guess so. That leaves me out of the picture."
"What do you mean that leaves you out?"
"We are partners, aren't we? You and me, Luke. We've been in this a long time together, scored some beautiful women together. I kept wondering when are you going to invite me in with Lucy."
"Really? You're expecting me to invite you in?"
Peter sighed, turning the car as they moved down another road.
"I don't see why not. You usually don't have a problem inviting me for a double fucking session. Remember the time we worked for Keeley Hazell?"
Luke rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Seriously? We're gonna talk about this now?"
"Yeah, we are. Remember when we worked for Keeley Hazell? I could've dated her, but I invited you to join me to fuck her. Remember that?"
"Peter, just stop."
"No! Remember that!?"
"Fine, yeah! I do remember it, that was about 7 years ago."
"And it was me who shared her with you...so, it shouldn't be that hard for you to share Lucy with me."
"Not happening."
Peter laughed at his words. It seemed his friend was falling in love with the woman, that gave him easy ammunition to tease him with.
"Are you in love with her, Luke?"
"I don't know...honestly, I don't."
"Well, if you won't share her with your best mate, I think you might be. You need to think long and hard on it, Luke...You know what they say about men in this business that fall in love, you start to slip with the job."
While sitting in his seat, Luke took a deep breath while listening to his friend. Perhaps it was true, he was falling in love with Lucy Pinder. The part he doubted was his words about not having much time left in the job, if it was true.
"You know, I can hook you up with her friend if I want. I've got to a little job for her anyway."
"What friend?"
"Michelle Marsh."
Peter chuckled softly before replying, changing roads one more time as they were coming close to the hotel.
"That's a name I haven't heard in some years. So, she still hangs with Pinder, yeah? Wonder if she wants to come back into modelling."
"I don't know. But I need you to help me out with something."
"Oh, yeah? Like what?"
"Michelle's ex-boyfriend is some douche bag named James. I got his phone number, and I was going to ask if you can track it down from your computer. I need to pay him a visit."
"Very well, I can do that. Text me the number once we're at the hotel and then I'll get to work on tracking him."
"Thanks pal, you gonna come with me too? I'm gonna introduce a baseball bat to this prick."
The car slowed down as Peter pulled into the back parking lot behind the hotel, they had made it back. He then replied to his friend.
"Yeah sure, why not? You won't need the bat if I come along."
Luke laughed.
"This is gonna be good times, like always."

2 HOURS LATER
Back at the hotel, Luke was greeted to Lucy. It seemed as if she was beginning to 'move in' living in his room at this point. The thought remained on his mind what Peter had said, if he was falling in love with the woman. It was funny that he had mentioned Keeley Hazell to him. That was a fun job about 7 years ago, something that led to a kinky threesome. Luke thought different of Lucy. It was nothing against his friend, just that he did not want to think of any other man kissing her or experiencing her sensual side. Perhaps he truly was falling in love with her, for he knew that he didn't want Peter to have her for himself.
He would have to tell her about the modelling deal he had worked up for her this week. She had a magazine shoot right here in London, this time with an old contact of hers. The last time that Lucy had appeared in the glamour magazine 'Strange Charm' was back in 2010. The deal had been worked out for a pay check right on the spot after the shoot was over. Lucy was excited when he informed her of the news. They sat together at the dinner table while they ate on takeout an hour after he had arrived back to the apartment. Lucy spoke between him.
