Monica Hughes was surprised when SupaStorm didn't show up with his "StormChasers"-the muscular entourage that seemed to follow him around everywhere. It was weird seeing him all by himself as he walked into the studio just a few blocks from the Barclays Center, where she saw him in concert earlier in the year. He was much shorter in person-almost her height of 5'6"-and nowhere near as animated as he was in his great performance that night.
"Hi, I'm Marcus," he said quietly, reaching to shake Monica's hand. He had a great smile, a sexy, dark complexion and gorgeous dreadlocks; Monica imagined what it would be like to run her fingers through his dreads.
"Not SupaStorm?" Monica asked, her brown eyes brightening.
"No, no," he replied, marveling at how long her straight red hair was. "Onstage, yeah, but offstage...just Marcus Johnson."
"OK."
"So, what part of Australia are you from? Never been down there, but we have shows in Sydney and Melbourne before this tour wraps up."
"Oh, I'm from Brisbane, in Queensland."
SupaStorm smiled. "From Brisbane to Brooklyn, from Queensland to Queens! That sounds good, right?"
"Wow," Monica replied. "It can come to you that quickly?"
SupaStorm blushed. "Kinda."
"Oh, sorry I'm late!"
Gloria Gold burst through the studio door in a frenzy and but her bags on the desk. The famed photographer ran over to shake SupaStorm's hand, then Monica's. "Congrats to both of you!" she said, brushing her long blonde hair out of her face. "Number one album and single in the country, and the new face of Gypsy Jeans!"
SupaStorm and Monica both nodded humbly. Monica still couldn't believe she had landed the Gypsy gig, nor could she believe that the biggest name in hip-hop was joining her on this photo shoot.
"Well, let me get set up, and you guys can change over there."
"OK," Monica replied. "Can I change with him?"
"Sure."
SupaStorm was shocked, but he didn't say anything as Monica grabbed his hand and led him to the studio dressing room. They quickly switched out of their clothes and put on Gypsy jeans and T-shirts; Monica was loved seeing SupaStorm's rock-hard chocolate chest up-close before he put the T-shirt on, while SupaStorm's eyes danced at the sight of Monica's large, pale, pert breasts-covered by a light-blue bra-and her curvaceous body.
Gloria took a few test shots before shooting the soon-to-be iconic images for Gypsy's ad campaign: SupaStorm and Monica embracing, SupaStorm caressing Monica's bare feet, Monica feeling SupaStorm's large bicep. Gloria snapped several sexy poses before Monica came up with an idea of her own.
"How about one without the T-shirts, with both of us topless, and him feeling on me?"
"What?" said SupaStorm.
"Oh, come on," Monica replied. "Look..."
Suddenly, she whipped off her T-shirt, removed her bra and walked in front of him, grabbing his hands and placing them on her large tits. "Now, I want you to kiss me on the neck."
"Monica..." SupaStorm whispered.
"Hey, you think that would look sexy, right?"
"Sure," smiled Gloria. "Real hot."
"OK...come on, Marcus, just go with it, will you?"
