Welcome to the Dollhouse (Jun)

[Bell Connelly]

Ah the old familiar places….

When Bell had a free moment this was the place where she liked to go, most people liked to go our, soak up the sun maybe go to the beach, but that wasn’t really Bell. Her and the sun had something of a strained relationship ever since Bell was a child. Bell’s skin seemed to be almost stupidly easy to burn and old Mr. Sun seemed almost too happy to do exactly that when Bell let her guard down, so she tried to avoid it whenever possible

..So naturally she retreated to her home away from home: The school library

If one were to look in her general direction they would see a young woman –With naturally bright flaming red hair, and reading glasses perched on her nose reading intensely focused on the her book. Of course if there was someone looking at her she would have no clue

Of course no one was watching her…

…Right?

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

The library, a place the Jun-Aaron was not a huge fan of, even if he checked out a lot of books from that very location. He just didn't like being in a space that was roomy yet crapped at the same time do to the towering cases of bookshelves, desk, chair, computers, and the people that were using it. It made his wings sort of ache to just burst out of his clothing and stretch out while knocking everything over in the process. Of course he would not do that because the shirt he was wearing was too high quality to just allow his tucked in wings to rip through.

That and he didn't want to have to deal with the cleanup that he would have to go through after doing such a thing. At any rate, normally he picked up the books he needed and would head out but today was different. Only because as he was heading out he spotted a red head, what looked to be a natural red head. No doubt she was pretty and after moving back to catch a look at her face, he confirmed it. Yes, he so needed to use her for a photo shoot because no way was he not going to get some bonus points for getting a shot of a red head.

He kept a hold of his three books on photography, since he needed their advice due to being more of the person in front of the camera instead of behind it. "Excuse me miss, I could not help but notice you from you beautiful hair and well overall beauty. May I know your name?" Jun Aaron asked, putting on a charming smile and his best manners as he practically slid into her view. He set his books on the table she was sitting at, all too pleased by his luck.

[Bell Connelly]

Bell thought the exact opposite of the library, she couldn’t be more comfortable here if she tried, there was a comfortable warmth she felt about the place…Cosy that was the word she would use. So very cosy and that’s all Bell really needed. It was quiet here and in this school there was so many rare places where Bell can say she was without peace and calm- In a school full of noisy, hormone fuelled teenagers…

…Well at times things were at best chaotic

Bell was busy humming to herself as she went to turn a page when she looked up politely when she was being addressed “Yes? Can I help you with something?” She said with a warm smile plastered on her face. She blinked momentarily in surprise, as an instinctive grin came to her face somewhat flustered at such bold words “Well, aren’t you kind” She said as she recovered. I don’t know about “Beautiful” but Thank you very much. I’m Bell, Bell Connelly for the ego boost, you sir has just made my dad Mr…”

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

This woman, this beautiful, and perfect red head before him also had manners; which were all too pleasing for Jun-Aaron. Who wanted to deal with someone who was a jerk? Him being nice was to be expected when he wanted something and you could not just be rude to someone and expect them to be willing to help you out with anything. What did he want her help on? To be a model of course and because he could see something about her that reminded him of himself before he had the confidence in himself that he had now.

"Yes, you can help me by being a model for me for my photography and fashion classes that I'm behind on." Jun Aaron said, sort of getting right to the point when she asked what he could help him with. What? She asked and it was the truth so he didn't see any harm and coming out and just saying it right then and there. She seemed like a sweet heart so he doubted she would have been able to turn him down, especially if he did things right. She was already flustered at such a simple complement, then again being called beautiful was pretty a big deal. At least it should have been no matter if you hear it from everyone every day.

"And honest, my dear." Jun said with a smile as she pointed out that he was 'too kind'. "I assure you, it is a word that fits you perfectly, along with so many other words. Sweet, innocent, and you certainly have a charm to you as well." Jun pointed out as he kept building that ego a little bit by bit. It was better than building his own ego. "Jun Aaron Starr. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bell." Jun Aaron said as he would reach out to take her hand so he could give it a kiss.

[Bell Connelly]

Oh yes, well of course she had manners. Why would she go out of her way not to be nice to someone. Bell was raised to believe to respect others and she made it a point to be as nice as she possibly could to everyone she met. It didn’t cost her anything to do so after all and she liked to think people appreciated it. One never really can gauge how far a smile or a kind word can go.

Bell blinked momentarily and her cheeks turned pink at such a offer “Well, you’re very kind. But I hardly consider myself the model type but I’ll be more then glad to help you look for one” She said warmly, somewhat taken aback by the offer. She wouldn’t really know even how to model. Or where even to begin with that sort of thing.

She couldn’t help but giggle at his ever so sweet gesture leaning back her head somewhat “And who said chivalry was dead…”

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

There is was, that sign that he had her already within his talons. Why talons? Well he had wings and that whole bird ability for a power so it just seemed like talons fit better then saying his claws or in his grasp. He could not help but to shake his head in a disapproving manner when the woman did not seem to think that she had the model capability. It did always end up sometimes with those who were very beautiful did not believe it. He wanted her to believe it, even if he had to pull it out of her himself, and that was what he planned to do.

He would have to be careful about how he did it, but he was sure he would be able to pull it off. There was always a way to pull off such a task with the right words, actions, and general confidence that Jun Aaron had at the moment. "My lady, I assure you I would not lie to you when it comes to your beauty and being able to pull off being a model. I'm a model myself, I know when someone could be competition for me or not." Jun assured her as he gave her a friendly smile mixed in with a little bit of flirting. She was a beautiful woman, how could he not flirt just a little bit with her?

At least she was still willing to help him despite how she felt about herself. She was even pleased at his action; yes, it was indeed a 'lady killer' move. So long as you met the kind of girl who liked to be treated like royalty, then it worked every time. "If you would allow me to run and get my camera, we could take a few photos here if that would make you feel more comfortable. Would love to get some shots of you sitting there reading." Jun Aaron pointed out. After all, it was in that state that he had spotted her, so why not capture it on camera as well?

[Bell Connelly]

Bell being Bell, was never one to frequent a bar or club or anywhere what this situation where boys would try this type of questioning to get what they wanted . So as you can imagine the tactics that Jun was employing was working a treat on the red headed English teacher, her cheeks glowing and a flustered smile playing on her face, melting just the way Jun would want her too. Not that the flirting effected her and it wasn’t like she was sexually attracted to him –He was a student. Jun needed to burst out far heavier guns then that to make her forget her rock hard Moral code thank you very much- but Bell thought he was very sweet boy

…And Bell was quite flattered to say the very least… “Now you’re just being silly” she said can’t helping but to smile.

The more Bell considered the idea., the more she was coming around. It wasn’t as if he was opening to give her a make over her put her in some kind of fancy dress –At least not yet anyway- It was quite a minor thing filming in the library and there didn’t seem to be more or less empty “Well, I suppose if it’s just here it should be fine…” Bell began hesitantly”

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

It always felt amazing when your skills were just at the top of their game, just building along your ego. It made you feel like you could get any woman that was actually attracted to men, but Jun-Aaron was not looking to take this woman's innocence or anything like that. He was assuming she still had her innocence. While he would not mind taking such a precious thing, he honestly did want her to model for him and to get some nice shots of her. Getting anything more out of her outside of a possibly friendship and a 'Temp-Model' would just be an added bonus to the cake.

The cake that was oh so sweet by how Bell was blushing and smiling at his words. Now he was a little hungry. She called him silly and he just chuckled a little and kept his charming smile the whole time. Yes, she certainly was not the kind of woman who was used to this sort of thing or at the very least she had the purest of minds and didn't take anything too seriously. Shame, but perhaps after he was done with her all that would change. Only time would tell or in this case; the camera would soon reveal all. He did fully plan to dress her up and make her over, but for now baby steps.

He had to build her confidence a bit more before just shoving her in the first thing that he thought she would look amazing in. "Wonderful. I will be right back, just remain where you are and just do what you would normally do here." Jun Aaron informed her and with that he gave a small bow before dashing off to get his camera. It would not take him long to go receive it; thanks to shortcuts, and he didn't approach her once he had it. Instead he stay at a distance and started to snap some photos of her to really get some natural photos of her.

[Bell Connelly]

Well this was new ground for Bell she wasn’t used to being complimented in this fashion so much and when she woke up this morning modelling was the last thing that she thought would happen

Not that she considered herself “Model” material but it was good to help a student in their endeavours.

“Oh lovely…Well..I’ll do it…I mean…I’ll try at least…right” she coughed before turning back to her desk and Jun went to get his camera.

At first Bell felt somewhat self conscious knowing that she was going to be taken picture of, she kept her back up straight, she fidgeted to and fro and smoothed down her hair she wondered if she should keep her glasses on but before too long she sat forward and slowing became absorbed in her book again almost forgetting about the camera

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

"Thank you ever so much. I greatly appreciate it and if there is anything that comes to mind for a way I can pay you back. Please don't hesitate to let me know." Jun Aaron assured her before he left to get his camera. He was not the kind of guy who did something for nothing so he did not expect others to be the same way; however, it was clear that he was likely going to have to come up with his own way to pay her back. She was far too sweet to ever likely want him to pay her back in anyways and he doubted she would take his money so that meant he was going to have to treat her to something to drink.

Or take her out to have a meal with him. The latter was likely going to be what he was going to go with, but for now it was time to take photos. Lovely photos of her sitting there and getting all caught up in her book again. He felt a little bad of taking photos of her when she was not aware that he was there, but that was what he wanted a few shots of. Her being in her 'natural habit' and not concerned with what he or the camera might be doing. After he got a few shots he then approached her, moving his camera in front of her to show her a view of one of the photos he had taken.

"See, you are exquisite. The way your hair gently flows down the frame of your face, the way your eyes focus on the book and even the way you sit as you get into what you are ready." Jun Arron pointed out to her before slightly sitting on the table she was sitting at. "Now, I would like to get some close up shots, can you smile for me for the first one? Then for the second I want shots of you trying to hide behind your book." Jun Aaron directed her, speaking in a friendly tone and still in a way that left it up to her choice if she wanted to do it or not.

[Bell Connelly]

Bell must admit she was somewhat curious what Jun had on offer for her. Or at the very least what the young man saw in her she supposed most photographers you needed to have a creative eye for certain things. A normal person just looked at a table and saw…well, a table a photographer didn’t just see a table but different angles, the lighting. How to position them and all manner of things that Bell really wouldn’t have any earthly idea about.

Bell simply sat back with his hands pressed together below her chin as Jun described. Once again Bell had to look downwards and pressed the back of her knuckles ever so daintily as he pointed out her various features he considered to be impressive and attractive.

Bell’s confident had somewhat risen the more this meeting went on “Um, Sure if you insist” Bell leaned back a little in her seat and flashed her a blinding white smile for Jun to take a few pictures of her “Hiding behind a book? You mean something like...” Bell grabbed the book and covered her face with it so that only her eyes were showing

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

He tried to make sure he explained what he desired, very clear. That and well he was still making sure to project an air around him to make sure she was calm, felt respected, and above all safe. When you could allow a woman to feel such a way for a certain amount of time, it just made it that much easier for you to get what you wanted out of them. Sure some men used that to their advantage to get one thing in particular; and Jun could not deny he had used it for the same thing as well, not this time however. She really was a true natural beauty and he wanted to be able to capture it on his camera and turn it in with many of his late projects.

If he kept meeting people that were up for dealing with him taking photos of him, that just meant he would likely be able to catch up all the way before classes even started. He could already tell by her body language that what he was doing was already working on the woman, and that more than pleased him. "Thank you kindly." Jun responded with a small nod, yes he fully intended to keep his manners at their best around such a woman who clearly valued them. Seeing her blushing was adorable as he figured it would be and he was pleased by the smile she ended up giving him.

Certainly a woman such as this would not stay on the market for long as soon as she worked out her confidence and developed a love and understanding of herself. She was just too beautiful and sweet to not be taken. He just hoped that whoever was skilled enough to wiggle their way into her heart would not be one of the unsavory types. "Yes, perfect. Just like that." Jun Aaron said as he moved and took some more photos. Then he was pretty much satisfied and it was clear to see by how he nodded to himself and was smiling.

"Thank you for assisting me, you really have to see how stunning you are." Jun said as he turned the camera around so she could see the screen and the photos of her as he would wake a moment before turning to the next.

[Bell Connelly]

Her nose was beginning to itch just a little, but she didn't dare scratch it less she ruins some of Jun's hard earned pictures and that would be terrible. Could she scratch it? Was that something that could be allowed? Bell wasn't sure what counted as a modeling no-no and what was allowed

Ha. Look at her, worrying about her modeling. Like a professional. Tee-hee.

Bell would say thank you but again she wasn't sure if she should move any part of her body or not just in case it ruined her pictures in someway or another. She was still learning what exactly she should do...Maybe she'll pick it up as she goes

"Well, it just shows how much of a wonderful photographer you are and I' m happy to help out. It was fun"

[Jun-Aaron Starr]

Jun-Aaron would have been perfectly fine if she itched her nose, he did want her to more or less behave how she normally would. Requesting that she hide behind the book was because he could so see her doing such a thing and it also represented the woman she was in terms of personality. There just enough for you to see just a little bit outside the edges of her book. Yet, still hiding just a little bit because she was not sure of herself and aware just how beautiful she was. Jun was going to change that, which was the goal anyways.

He was not certain just how well it would work but he would not me Jun-Aaron Starr if he didn't give it his all and try. He showed her the photos he took of her, allowing her to see just how beautiful she was and how much she grabbed the camera's attention. It would be a fool for anyone to think that this woman could simply blend in with the books. Not only did she have red hair; which pretty much made blending in impossible, but just the overall woman that was present there. He refused to believe that she did not at least have a few suitors or admirers.

He did get an ego boost from her complement and could already feel himself slipping into that egotistic side of himself. "Thank you, but I still have a ways to go before I can be called a wonderful photographer. I still don't actually know how to work everything on here." Jun admitted and he gave a soft chuckle. He was a model, no photographer but he was working on it. "I'm happy you had fun. Would you like to give it a go?" Jun asked as he held out his camera for her to take. Yet again this was all for the sake of pulling her out from behind that 'book she hid behind'.

[Bell Connelly]

Bell was still slowly learning the ropes of this whole modeling thing. She was a teacher after all helping out a student for his college project, she wasn't exactly a model but she appreciated the boys kind words at any rate even if they might have been bare face flattery at the best of times and she would naturally help out anyone who took the step of actually approaching Bell.

Good help was always on hand for anyone bold enough to ask for it, that was Bell's motto

It always might have been a slightly modified Harry Potter quote.

"Well you seem to be on the right track" Bell smiled at the student " As far as my layman eyes can make out I'm sure you have a promising career ahead of you" Bell blinked a little in surprise at the offer to use the camera "Well...I...I mean if you're so insistent.." Bell stumbled over her words taking the camera studying it keenly "Gosh, what exactly do you want me to take pictures of?"
