Ms. Nobody [Unedited]

Boss Bitch

"I'm a bitch, I'm a boss

I'm a bitch and a boss, I'ma shine like gloss
I'm a bitch, I'm a boss
I'm a bitch and a boss, I'ma shine like glossSaid, bitch, I'm the after, you've been the before
I been the stallion, you been the seahorse
Don't need a report, don't need a press run
All of my bad pics been all my best ones
I wear the hat and I wear the pants
I am advanced so I get advance
And I do my dance and cancel the plans
Said, boo, don't be mad 'cause you had a chance, drop"

Too engrossed in preparing my portfolio, I didn't notice my mom sitting on my bed, watching me until she accidentally switched the lamp off.  She knows I've been working hard, with my school, freelancing designing, and baby sitting my brother at times. She has been really supportive of my dream and would often just watch me as I would work. Sometimes, when I'm too tired to put my stuff away and fall asleep like that only on the bed, she would put away my stuff and tuck me in just like she tucks Jay in, kissing me lightly on the forehead and wishing me sweet dreams.

My busy schedule has kept my mind from wandering to Cameron, he hasn't texted me or tried to get in touch with me. So I didn't make any effort either. I often read articles that usually have lines such as 'Hottest celebrity on the red carpet!' 'Cameron and Sal, is there new love in the air?' and others in bold. I'm pretty much used to it now so I don't get bothered as much as I used to. I'll admit I started this career to prove myself to Cameron but once I started I realized I don't wanna do it for anyone other than myself. I have been underestimating myself too much. I am enjoying what I am doing. But I haven't forgotten his promise. I'll wait for him, I'll give him time to meet me. I won't give up on him. But I won't sit idle, ruining myself fantasizing for him. 

Next month, I'll graduate and will officially apply to Fashion Designing. I've already started bringing together some of my designs. Although it isn't easy I'm hopeful. Instagram and my followers have been really supportive of my designs and I've received a lot of attention and appreciation for my amateur designs, so I'm hoping to make an early start.

Three years into my specialization degree and a year of internship as a rookie in trusted brands have taught me a lot. Next week, I'll be launching my first collection. Although I'm nervous, I'm hopeful for a positive response. And more than that, I'm wishing for a chance to invite Cameron over to my launch. I'm hopeful that he will contact me. But I know he is not in the city but being hopeful won't do any harm.

The hustle-bustle of visitors continues the entire day, chitchatting with few people, smiling from a distance to others while my friends take orders and my mother socializes, my eyes keep darting back to the door, expecting him to show up out of nowhere. I eventually realize, he won't come. It's time I go 'SOLO'. 

After having a long day, we finally pack up and order pizza while we change into PJ's. The doorbell rings, I run to grab the pizza, my stomach growling with hunger. I pick up the cash from the kitchen table and open the door. The pizza boy greets me and hands me the boxes of pizza, I take the boxes, put my hand out but before I can offer him money, he runs off shouting the money has been paid. 

Confused, as to who paid the money, I take a step outside and suddenly someone takes away the boxes from my hand pushing me outside and closing the door. Too surprised at what happened, I look around in confusion and I stop breathing. He stands there wearing a black co-ord set. He takes a step towards me when I don't move, he runs and picks me up. He hugs the life out of me if I had any left. I burst into tears and smile as I hug him back. 

"When? How?"

"I promised you that we will meet, I kept my promise. I wanted to come to you sooner but I wanted you to grow out of the phase of 'Ms. Nobody' and mature into an independent, successful girl. I've been in touch with your mum about your progress. I knew you could do it and see you did it!"

"Wait, did you have anything to do with my Instagram?" I question in doubt. I did have a certain follower who would always comment and encourage me.

"I couldn't contact you personally, but I couldn't sleep without talking to you so I did that, I know I was selfish but I needed you and you were the greatest support I had, you encouraged more than I encouraged you. We were with each other every day, the only difference I selfishly hid my identity. I apologize for not being truthful since the start but I wanted you to realize you were everything without me or anyone. You don't need anyone, my queen." He kissed my forehead lightly.

I think I should have been offended by him but I was grateful that he did fulfill his promise and kept a check on me that I didn't mind the selfishness. Of course, we have our flaws, and our way of thinking differs but we can manage that.

He leads me inside, which reminds me that someone had pushed me out, which means everyone knew about this surprise. They figured that I had finally placed all bits and pieces together, in order to stop me from bringing that topic into the conversation, mum brought out pizzas that she had re-heated and brought some Cola from the fridge for Cameron and my girlies. While she brought a ginseng energy drink for herself. We had a heart filled dinner that night, giggling and chatting as if catching onto each other's life that we had missed upon. Entire family sitting at one table, eating, drinking, laughing as if it was Thanksgiving. 

I wish time would halt and we could be like this forever but my girlies had to leave so we said our good-byes. As for Cameron, he was surprisingly staying over and won't leave until the next day. So to catch up on the moment we had missed, we decided to binge-watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I fell asleep on his lap and was woken up by the sound of dishes in the kitchen. 

I sit up only to find Cameron missing from my side. I head over to the kitchen, the sight was as lovely as one could be. Mum making pancakes, Cameron playing with Jay, and Jay laughing so heartily. A perfect family, looking at him play with Jay made me realize that he would be a great father.

*********************

The next chapter is going to be the end of the story. Sorry for rushing too quickly but because I picked up this story after 3 years, I can't remember the plot too well. So I made a new one. Hope you enjoy it! :)

I've added some songs because I felt you would understand the character more. If you are not a K-pop fan it's okay.

Hope you guys have a good day and be safe everyone. Lots of sincere wishes to all of you.
