Well the story stars here when you met a guy called Ville Akseli in a music photography exhibition. Both of you had been working for several years shooting different rockstars and both of you seemed to like the same kind of music. You exchanged cell phone’s numbers and emails and that’s where everything started.
Last week, you were sitting on your couch in the living room just watching your favorite show when your cell phone rang. Picking it up you said "Hello?"
"Hey Carla, it’s me Ville"
"Oh hey Ville! Long time not talk to you"
"Yeah that’s true I have been busy here but anyway I was calling you to make you a propose"
"Oh? And what’s it about?"
"I’m working on this photography book called ‘666 Vampire Ways’ and well basically this book will be tour photos and interviews of two bands called ‘The 69 eyes’ and ‘HIM’, they are currently going on tour together and I was thinking if you wanted to help me and come on tour with us?"
Sitting straight in your couch, your mouth hung opened when you heard the bands that were going to be on tour. You replied, "Holy shit, are you serious?"
Hearing him laughed, he said "Of course, you know how much I love your work and I think you are perfect to work with me, really"
Oh my god, was all you could think. Here you have this guy asking you to go with him on tour with two of your favorites bands and you stupidly stayed shock "I- god Ville I don’t know what to say" Then you thought it and said OF COURSE YOU WANT TO GO!
"Come on, you have a week to think about it"
"I seriously have to think about it"
"Okay I will give you a call tomorrow and you tell me what you think" Ville said, hoping that you would agree.
"Sure, give me a call tomorrow and I will have an answer"
"Ok, then I will talk to you later, bye bye" And hanging up, you stared at your phone shocked about what had just been proposed to you. You could go on tour with your favorites bands for god knows how long and you told him that you would think about it. There was nothing to think! Of course you wanted to go and you were going to. Since you were your own boss you could take the time to go and do this work.
Waking up the next morning at your cell phone ringing you groaned and grabbed it from the nightstand. You kept telling yourself to turn it off once you go to sleep but you never learned. Answering you heard Ville’s voice in the other line, "Woke you up right?" He said laughing.
Groaning you replied "Yeah you know what time is it here?"
"Yes, it’s 11 am so get up lazy ass"
Looking up at your nightstand watch you were about to say that it was 7 am when you indeed saw that it was 11 am "Okay so you are right, I thought it was earlier"
Laughing he replied "So anyway have you think about the tour thing?"
Clearing your mind to remember what was about you said, "Oh yeah, well when is this tour starting?"
"Next week"
"Jesus Christ, is too soon I have to get things ready here before going there"
"Come on, you are your own boss what do you have to do?"
"Well I suppose this tour last at least 3 months so I need to get things done. What about my apartment? I need to let my family know I’m leaving"
"That doesn’t take a whole week, come on you know you want to"
Sighing knowing it was true you replied "Well let’s see what I can do, what about the hotels or where are we staying during the tour?"
"That’s all done all you have to do is have your camera, the rest is pure magic"
Rolling your eyes you said "Yeah pure magic…Okay as soon as I get the plane ticket I will give you a call" And hanging up you proceeded to start getting everything ready for your trip because sure as hell you weren’t missing it.
A week passed and you already had your ticket for the next day, making the last arrangements you called Ville to let him know when you were arriving into Helsinki. He was happy that you accepted since he knew you were perfect for this work and you, more than anyone, would enjoy it to the fullest.
Grabbing your bags, you looked around your apartment that you weren’t going to be for three months and smiled. Although you were going to miss it you were glad for what you were going to do.
Walking out of the plane that was now in Helsinki’s Airport, you walked to the baggage claim and waited for your bags to appear and while you did that you called Ville.
"Where are you?" I heard him said as soon as he picked up the phone.
"Next to the baggage claim picking my stuff up"
"Okay, we are just outside the baggage claim" Hanging up the phone you saw your luggage and grabbing it you walked out to where Ville A. was waiting for you. Smiling you hugged him.
"Such a long time" He said and you nodded your head.
"Yeah that’s true Ville" Looking up you saw that Ville A. was not alone, beside him was a dark haired man that you knew too well from photos and videos.
"Let me introduce you to Jyrki, which you might know" Nodding your head, a bit in awe because of seeing one of your many idols, you extended your hand to shake but he instead took it and planted a kiss on top of it. A perfect gentleman, you thought.
"Nice to meet you, darling" He said moving his dark glasses a bit so you could see those beautiful blue eyes.
"Same for you" God, this man was so beautiful, you thought. Walking to Ville A.’s car, you got in the back of it. Relaxing against the seat your eyes started to drop off and soon you were dead asleep.
When Ville A. parked his car in front of his house, he looked from the reviewer mirror and saw that you were asleep. Jyrki seeing that Ville A. turned around, he himself did the same and saw what caught his attention. Jyrki thought that you were beautiful, simple yet you had that beauty that he didn’t see that much even though he layed various women.
"So I will just carry her inside and then she can meet the guys" Ville A. said and Jyrki nodded his head. Walking out of the car Ville A. carried into the house where the rest of The 69 eyes and HIM were having some beers.
Ville shushed the guys and they quickly turned around to see Ville A. carrying a beautiful female. "Well and who’s that sleeping beauty?" Asked Jussi69 as he took a sip of his beer bottle.
"This is Carla, she must be very tired so I’m just going to lay her down on my bed and then you can meet her and we will have the talk about what we have planned for this book"
"Oh let me carry her to your bed" Said Bazie hornily and everyone laughed. Shaking his head Ville A. made his way upstairs and into his room were he laid you down in the king size bed. After closing the door he walked downstairs where the guys continued talking.
"So she is basically the only female on the tour bus" Jussi said with that look on his face that only men could understand when they wanted to make a move on a girl. Ville Valo was struck speechless at your beauty, were you even real? He thought.
"Jussi she is our photographer not a hooker" He spatted which made everyone laugh. "Photographer , hooker what’s the difference?" And again everyone cracked up. Shaking his head Ville sipped on his coffee since he had stopped drinking for about more than an year now and he was glad about it.
Waking up a few hours later feeling restless you looked around and freaked because you were in a room that you didn’t know. Quickly standing up you walked to the table that was at the corner of the room and saw a camera and it stuff. Sighing knowing that those were from Ville A. you walked to the door and seeing the stairs you went down.
Hearing voices in the living room you fixed your hair and clothes and walked into the room. Ville A. said your name and all the pair of eyes turned to you. Smiling you tried not to scream since you had your idols in front of you. Trying to play it cool and not sound like a fool you introduced yourself and after that you sat next to Ville A.
"Well, how did you sleep?"
"Great, thank you for not waking me up…so this are the guys" Nodding his head Ville A. replied, "Yes, so let’s explain the guys what we want to do in the book"
You nodded your head and waited for him to continue, "The idea of this project is to show you guys in every aspect of the tour yet if you want to keep something private we are willing to go with your wish. We want to show what Finnish rockers are like at tours, rocking at sold out shows and how fans react to you in this case"
The guys looked at each other and thought that this idea was perfect to get other countries to know them better. "So we are basically being shoot in the tour and when we don’t want you to do it we just say it?"
"That’s right, we will be partying with you, we will be everywhere just behind you taking photos of you yet if you don’t want you will just say it" You said, your professional side coming out of you. When this mode came to you, you were serious and there was nothing that disturbed you.
"I think that this is a great idea" Ville said and you smiled at him. "Well as soon as we get the feet on the road we will start with this project. Ah and we will also make some interviews that will be included in the book" You said and they nodded their head satisfied about it.
Soon chat turned to partying and since you were leaving the next day the guys said that they had to go and party on 'Ice Bar'. You had never been there but you had already see them in photos. Getting into two cars, you drove with Jussi, Jyrki, Ville, Mige and Linde while the other guys drove in the other one.
You couldn’t stop laughing with this guys. They were hilarious and you thought to yourself that you were going to spend a good time with them. And you didn’t regret it at all.
Arriving at the Ice Bar, you walked to the VIP tables and alcohol started flowing around you. You felt a pair of eyes burning in your neck and when you turned around you saw Ville looking at you. Smiling at him you turned once again to the contest that Jussi and Gas were having about who drinks more tequila than the other. Jussi was making a poor intent on trying to beat Gas.
All the guys after finishing the contest, Jussi losing and in a very drunk state, they decided to go to the dance floor and tried to hook with any of the girls that were able to fulfill their desires. You, not being drunk, decided that you were staying behind and let the boys haunted.
But you weren’t the only one not wanting to dance since Ville didn’t go either. Taking a seat in front of you, you smiled at him and asked "Not going with the boys to 'haunt'? as Jussi refer to hook with someone" You asked Ville and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Not really in the mood for it plus they are pissed drunk and I’m barely awake" You heard him said while glancing where the guys were dancing.
"Oh well there will be other times on tour" Nodding his head Ville looked up at you and you swear when those emerald eyes turned to you it hit you hard. Those eyes held sadness and concerned as to why, you were about to ask when he spoke,
"So since we are going to be in the tour together, why don’t we get to know each other?"
Smiling, something you always did, you replied "Well as you might now my name is Carla Michaels, I have 25 years old. I have been working as a photographer since I’m 18, I have always been passionate of photography, I like to travel and well I live in Los Angeles, California" You took at deep breath which made Ville chuck,
"Well that’s something" He said and you laughed, "What about you?" You asked curiously.
"Well as you might now" He started mimicking you which made you giggled "I’m Ville Valo, lead singer from the band H.I.M., I’m 34 years old and turning 35 this 22nd of November, I love to sing and music has been my life and air"
"No doubts on that" You said and the both of you laughed. Looking up at you Ville lit one of his cigarettes and smoked on it. "Well it’s nice to meet you, are you nervous about being the only girl on the tour bus?"
"Not at all, I have been on tour with many bands such as Trashlight Vision, Hanoi Rocks and many more so I’m used to the manly manners of the guys on tour" You explained and he nodded his head.
"Well if any of this guys try to hit on you and you find it bothering I’m here to kick some of their asses" He said with a sincere smile and you gave him one back.
"Thank you Ville, you are really sweet" You and Ville continued chatting and once the guys were done with the haunting some of you got back to Ville A.’s apartment and some of them went their separate ways with their preys.
Arriving at Ville A’s house with the help of Ville you took the guys all to the couch since they were too drunk to do anything. The only sober ones there were you and Ville and since you weren’t going to take everyone to each houses you decided that they could crash there.
Once you were done you turned to Ville and he said, "Well I guess I will leave you with this, It’s time I get home or tomorrow nobody will be able to wake me up"
Nodding your head you walked with him to the door and opening the door you said your goodbyes and soon he was out of the door and walking back home. All the time he was thinking how beautiful and intelligent you were and how good you looked. He swore he had never seen such a beautiful woman. He couldn’t wait to see you again. Tomorrow seemed so far away.
