The Photo Shoot

*Wedding Photo Studio, 11:21am*

Bosco and Jessica arrived at the studio, “Have you thought about who you’re going to be best man for?” Jessica asked.

Bosco shrugged his shoulders, “Don’t know yet.”

They walked into studio and saw the two couples looking at pictures of wedding dress and suits. Ron pointed to one, “How about this one?”

Bernice looked at the picture, “It’s nice, I like it. Have you guys picked yours yet?” she asked Raymond and Charmaine.

“A dress? I don’t know. I think the last time I wore a dress was in high school and it was because I had to,” Charmaine flipped through the pages.

“Why don’t you just wear baggy pants and a shirt?” Jessica said walking up to them.

Raymond looked at Jessica, “Don’t put thoughts in her head.”

Charmaine kept flipping through the pages, “What’s up with this dress?” she laughed, “And this one,” she kept pointing and laughing.

Jessica pulled Charmaine up, “Bernice and I will find something nice for her. That’s if you trust me Raymond.”

Raymond nodded, “Just don’t let her choose something really out there.”

Charmaine, Jessica and Bernice walked towards the back where all the wedding dresses were while Raymond, Ron and Bosco were still sitting down.

Raymond and Ron glared at each other, “So Bosco have you decided who you’re going to be best man for?” he asked while he kept glaring at Ron.

Ron looked fiercely back at Raymond, “Yeh Bosco, have you chosen yet?”

Bosco looked at both of them scared that they will hit him if he picked the wrong person, “Why don’t we flip a coin?”

Raymond and Ron both turned and looked at Bosco disgusted about his suggestion, “What is this a game or something?” Raymond question.

“Yeh, we’re getting married. Its not a joke you know,” Ron added.

Bosco sat back, “I know it’s not a joke.”

Kenneth and Linda arrived at the studio and saw Raymond and Ron ganging up on Bosco, “What’s up with the guys?” Kenneth asked.

“Don’t know,” Linda replied.

“Hey,” Kenneth greeted, “What’s up?”

“Why don’t you ask Bosco, he seems to think this wedding is a game,” Ron said very seriously.

Bosco stood up and hid behind Kenneth, “Save me from them, they both want me as their best man. And I can’t choose so now they’re being mean.”

“Why don’t one of you just get someone else to be the best man?” Linda suggested.

“Fine, I’ll ask Moses to be my best man. You can have Bosco back,” Ron said trying to be the bigger man.

“Oh yeh, where are the ladies?” Linda asked.

Raymond pointed to the back, “Their picking out the wedding dresses.”

Linda walked over to meet with the other ladies while the rest of the guys went to get changed into their suits. Raymond and Ron walked out wearing a tux, “You look good,” Ron said to Raymond.

“As do you,” Raymond said looking into the mirror fixing his bow tie. “Why are the girls taking so long?”

Jessica, Bernice and Linda were already changed but were still waiting on Charmaine, “Come on Charmaine, we picked the best dress suited for you. Just come out and show us.”

Charmaine looked at herself in the mirror in the changing room, “I look weird and feel very uncomfortable, I think I’m just going to wear pants to my wedding,” she shouted out from the changing room.

Jessica knocked on the door, “I’m sure its not that bad, if you don’t come out we won’t have enough time to take photo’s.”

“It’s too weird, I’m going to change out of this,” Charmaine told Jessica through the doors.

“Wait!” Jessica shouted.

Linda walked outside already dressed into the main area where all the guys were waiting, “Your wife to be isn’t coming out of the change room,” she said to Raymond.

“Why not?” Raymond asked.

Linda shrugged her shoulders. Raymond walked to the back and saw Jessica banging on the changing room door, “What’s going on?”

Jessica sighed, “She doesn’t want to come out.”

Raymond knocked on the door, “Charmaine is everything alright?”

“I think I’m going to change out of this, doesn’t suit me,” she said to Raymond.

“What? I haven’t even seen it. Just let us look at it and if you really don’t like it you can wear whatever you want on the wedding day, I promise,” Raymond wait a while for the response.

“Fine.”

“I’ll wait for you downstairs in the main waiting room then,” Raymond smiled at Jessica, “Hopefully it won’t be long till she decides to come out.”

“I’ll try to hurry her up,” Jessica said fixing her hair.

Raymond walked back down and sat on the lounge where Bosco, Ron and Kenneth were.

Charmaine was still in the change room she took a deep breath and walked out, Jessica and Bernice looked at her, “You look great.”

“Really? I still I look weird,” Charmaine said looking at the mirror.

“That’s because you never wear anything slightly feminine and plus this is the first time your wearing a wedding dress,” Jessica said fixing up her dress.

“You don’t see Bernice being all weird about this.”

Bernice tugged on her dress a little, “That’s because I’m different. Anyways let go downstairs for our photo shoot.”

“How long do you think my sister will take?” Ron asked.

Raymond didn’t answer him but stared at Charmaine as she walked down the stairs, she wore a white wedding dress, which was simple yet elegant. Raymond couldn’t believe his eyes, he kept staring at her thinking she was the most beautiful bride ever existed.

Bernice walked down after Charmaine; Ron had the same reaction as Raymond. He kept staring at Bernice smiling; Bernice looked at him and smiled back. Jessica followed behind Bernice, although she wasn’t wearing a wedding dress, Bosco stared at Jessica in her maid of honour dress almost drooling.

All three ladies reached the main waiting area, Raymond kept staring at Charmaine not moving, “Does it look really bad?” she asked looking down at her dress.

Raymond smiled shaking his head, “You look perfect, couldn’t wish for anything more. I hope your going to keep this for the wedding, I think this might look a bit better than wearing pants.”

“Why don’t you wear the dress and I wear your tux?” Charmaine asked laughing.

Raymond held her hand, “You’re the most beautiful person in this room today and you will be also the most beautiful person on the wedding day too.”

Bernice, Jessica and Linda turned around and glared at Raymond. He saw the fierce look on their faces and pulled Charmaine outside to prepare for the photos.

“Don’t worry about him, I think you will steal the spotlight on the day. You look beautiful, I can’t wait until our wedding day,” Ron said to Bernice as he walked her outside.

Bosco held Jessica’s hand, “Ohh… you don’t have to worry either. You have me to give you all the compliments.”

“I know you will, so I’m not worried,” Jessica joked and walked outside with Bosco.

Linda was left standing by herself with no one to comfort her, Kenneth saw her standing all alone and walked up to her, “Don’t worry I think you look very pretty too.”

Linda’s face lit up hearing Kenneth compliment, “Thanks, want to head outside?”

Everyone gathered outside to take photos, Raymond and Charmaine were the first to take the photos. “Ok, groom holds onto brides hand and look into each others eyes as if you are very in love.”

Raymond turns and looks at the photographer with a weird look, “What do you mean ‘as if we are very in love’? I’m telling you now that we are indeed very much in love. There’s no ‘as if’.”

Jessica, Bernice and Linda felt so touched by what Raymond said while Bosco, Ron and Kenneth would almost feel themselves throwing up at such a cheesy line.

“Ok then, groom please hold onto the brides hand. Look into each others eyes very much in love,” the photographer reworded his instructions.

Raymond and Charmaine looked into each other’s eyes, both their eyes sparkled with love. The photographer started taking shots, “Great! Ok now I want a few shots with smiles. Perfect. Ok now change positions, groom stand behind the bride a little and I want you two to stare into the distance.”

“Into the distance?” Charmaine asked a bit confused.

“Yep, into the far distance.”

Raymond and Charmaine began staring into the distance, “What are we meant to be staring at?” Charmaine asked Raymond.

He shrugged his shoulders, “Just stare at the tree over there.”

The photographer put his camera down, “No, its more a gaze into the distance into your future.”

Bosco and Jessica started laughing at Raymond and Charmaine attempting to gaze in the distance, “They look like fools,” Jessica laughed.

“I think it will turn out great, gazing into their future,” Ron said.

“I know, really want to know how our future will turn out,” Bernice and Ron both gazed into the distance.

Bosco and Jessica looked at them and burst out laughing even more, “What are you guys doing? It’s not even your turn yet and you’re already gazing,” Bosco said laughing so hard his stomach began to hurt.

“Ok let’s take a rest,” the photographer put his camera down. Raymond and Charmaine sat down beside Ron and Bernice.

*H&L Law Firm, 6:12pm*

Steven waited for everyone to leave the firm before he could take the files off of Raymond’s computer. He checked if everyone was gone and walked into Raymond’s office. He switched the computer on and logged into Raymond’s computer. He searched around but couldn’t find the files he planted in.

“Where are the files?” He heard the elevator door open, he could see a small figure walking towards Raymond’s room, he switched the monitor off and hid under Raymond’s table.

Rain had come back to the office to pick up some things for Raymond since he wasn’t at work today, she realised his door was closed, “That’s strange, did Raymond come back today?” she asked herself.

She walked inside and could hear the computer running, Steven was still under the table and could feel her getting closer.
