A shoot by the pool

Sarah awoke to see Jay on his laptop looking serious. "What's up babe?" she asked sleepily.

"Hey sexy. Nothing serious, Sadi just thought those pictures from yesterday were a bit boring. He didn't like your bikini and thought your outfit for the restaurant was cute rather than sexy. Honestly we were both a bit tired. I just kind of hoped we'd get some out of the way so we could relax. He did say that we should go to a particular boutique if you wanted and he's settle the bill."

No girl likes being told that someone was unimpressed with them but she pushed it aside, determined to be professional about it. The swimsuit wasn't her best and maybe she did lack a classy sexiness in her evening wear. "Maybe we should go and check it out later" she said. She got out of bed and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend "Lets try and do two sets this morning and we can visit the boutique after, get some lunch and then relax this afternoon."

"Perfect, I fancy trying more of those ridiculous cocktails at the pool bar."

"Drinks in coconuts it is then. I'll get ready."

The first outfit was to be a healer from a popular team shooter then a cool thief from an old school anime. One set at the pool and another on the beach. It was makeup and wig stuff but she thought she had done well in reflecting the character with the bikinis and the accessories. She put on the red thonged bikini with the Swiss flag on the bra cups her blonde wig with character appropriate style and decorations and a pair of red heeled sandals.

"You make a cute blonde" said Jay picking up his gear.

"Boys and blondes, honestly" said Sarah rolling her eyes "Come on."

They garnered a fair amount of attention at the pool. In part because Sarah looked stunning and in part from the fact that they were obviously doing a photo shoot. They did a number of shots from playful and cute to serious and appealing to down right sexy but they were limited in how far they could take it due to other people being around. Being watched so avidly by the small group of people at the pool was kind of titillating.

During the shoot they were struggling a bit with the bright, direct sunlight. They had done shots in the shade but Jay was keen to get some showing off the bright sun. He was struggling with a reflector to counteract the shadows when a high pitched voice with a thick accent said "Would you like some help?"

There stood a beautiful, slender Japanese woman. She had long black shiny hair with straight bangs and the body and face of a fashion model, lacking in curves with a very petite bust but beautifully elegant. She was probably on the taller side for a Japanese woman but was no taller than Sarah.

"Would you mind? That would be great" said Jay walking over to her. Sarah noticed her eyes flick over his body as he approached her, she clearly liked what she saw.

"I'm Kyoko" she said blushing slightly.

"I'm Jay, this is Sarah"

Kyoko suddenly seemed to remember that Jay was not the only person there and she dashed over to where Sarah was sat with her feet in the water "Nice to meet you" she said. She spoke English well but slowly "You are doing cosplay yes?" they confirmed that they were. "Ah I used to cosplay too before I became a model, you look very lovely" she said to Sarah.

Sarah smiled at the sweet compliment "Thank you Kyoko, you speak English really well. Who are you here with?"

"My husband" she turned and waved at a round bellied, grey haired Japanese man on a lounger in a pair of small speedos. The man waved back and they all waved at him. Yikes thought Sarah but didn't like to think too hard on Kyoko's situation and just smiled back.

They got to it and Kyoko turned out to be very helpful. She directed the reflector but also gave Sarah a few pointers on her posture and pose. Sarah might have been annoyed by it but Kyoko was so sweet about the way she said things that she couldn't really be angry and looking at Jay's camera she had been correct.

Soon they were done and it was time for them to head out. They told Kyoko that she was welcome to come but she had to, reluctantly refuse as her husband expected her to with him at some lunch date. "We were going to come back here later to hang out and have some drinks if you wanted to find us later" said Sarah.

"Really? I would like that very much" she said looking excited "It is nice to find people of my own age."

"How old are you Kyoko?" asked Sarah.

"Twenty five"

"Cool, I hope we see you later" she said as they headed out.

"Twenty five and married to that grandad" said Jay when they were back at the apartment so Sarah could change.

"Don't, I know" called Sarah from the bathroom "She was sweet"

"Yea she really was."

"She was totally into you."

Jay was surprised "What? No, she was just friendly."

"She was reserved, you were too focussed on your camera, she was checking you out constantly."

"No, really?"

"Hell yes. I can't blame her with that thing in her bed at night." She paused then said "You should flirt with her if we see her later."

"Are you going on this again?"

"Damn right I am. You have a Japanese fashion model politely drooling over you. When will you learn you are hot? Be the sexy man I know you are, I think it would be hot."

"What would?"

"You and Kyoko"

"Maybe" said Jay. He had to admit, Kyoko was a world away from Sarah but he wouldn't mind knowing her better.

"That's the spirit" said Sarah as she stepped out wearing a yellow bikini with a purple bobbed wig with a yellow Alice band. She slipped on some large starlet sunglasses and a sheer floras sarong and they headed out for the next shoot on the beach.
