012 :: Pic

Would you like to take your pic now. (Peter)

She looked at him.

You must have a new set of photos for the files.  For your icons.  Do you want to dry your hair first. (Peter)

Peter tapped the mirror above the basin.  It opened.  Inside was an array of makeup.  She pulled out a lipstick.  She opened it.  Closed it.  Put it back.  Eye liner.  She applied it.  Chose a different lipstick.  Opened it.  Applied it.  Stretched her lips examining them in the mirror.  Nodded.  She pulled out the hair dryer.  Puffed her hair.  Turned her head from side to side.  She put the dryer away.  One by one she took out each item of makeup.  Some she put at the back.  Some she put at the front.  She did not apply any more.

Her Skroll buzzed.  She spun round like she had forgotten Peter was there.

Fabulous.  You ready for your pic now. (Peter)

Naomi smiled at Peter.  She stepped into the centre of the room and twirled for him.

Fabulous. (Peter)

Peter picked up her Skroll.  Held his fingers on the pads.  It opened for him.  He tapped the camera.  Tap tap tap.  The screen filled with pictures of her twirl.  From different angles.  Rows of pictures of her face.  Rows of pictures of her body.  Peter pointed to one portrait.  He shrugged.  He pointed to a full body shot.  Low angle.  She shook her head.  She held up the Skroll.

Where the camera. (Naomi)

Peter pulled the Skroll down.  He pointed to the corners of the room.

The house is fully wired.  360 C-tech.  It can show any angle you want. (Peter)

Naomi looked confused.

Just do another twirl.  The Skroll will find the best shots. (Peter)

Naomi closed her eyes.  She breathed slowly in.  Slowly out.  She spread out her arms.  Centred herself.  Rose onto her tip toes.  Opened her eyes.  Smiled.  Twirled.  Another set of pictures appeared.  She examined them.  Shook her head.  Stood.  Took two steps right.  Breathed.  Smiled.  Twirled.  Examined the pictures.  Stood.  Stepped to her left.  Breathed.  Smiled.  Twirled.  Examined the pictures.  Selected two portraits.  Peter pointed at a full body shot.  She shook her head.  Stood.  Stepped back towards the shower.  Breathed.  Smiled.  Twirled.  Examined the pictures.  Selected two body shots.  The body slightly angled to the left.  And the body slightly angled to the right.  From above.  Slightly.  Looking directly out of the picture.  A bold image.

Peter took the Skroll.  Tapped.  Passed it back to her.  He was still careful to avoid looking at her nude body.  Only at her eyes.  She sat next to him on the edge of the bed.

You tired. (Peter)

She shook her head.

You can speak.  I can read your translation. (Peter)

Naomi put her hands between her knees.  She looked down at her feet.  Peter waited.
