"good morning Mr hernandez" "good morning sandy how are you?" "I am well thankyou, can I get you a coffee?" "Yes please I will be in my office".
Walking in I closed my door and took a seat at my desk, looking at some new portfolios. Although I still couldn't get dana out of my head. It's been nearly two months since dana told me she loved me. Two months of not wanting to leave her side, to leave her luscious body, her beautiful greens eyes. I just can't get enough.

"Hello" "mr hernandez how are you?" "I am well alexander, what can I do for you?" "I have a new collection I'd love for you to show in your magazine, if you have the room" "I'm sure that can be arranged I have not yet done any shoots for the new magazine" "wonderful. Nicko and I agree to wanting dana again. This time it'll be a formal shoot" "I'm sorry alexander that can not happen but I do have some other models that would be suitable" "that is not what we are after" "I'm sorry alexander, that was a one off. dana was not happy to do the last shoot" "was she not happy with the collection?" "The collection did not bother her it's the spotlight" "she is a very good model" "yes but I will not put her in an uncomfortable position again" "I do not want anyone else mr hernandez" "I understand that but.." "you can make it happen" "I'm sorry but that will not be happening this time" "hmm I am not very happy mr hernandez" "I am sorry I can not fulfill your wishes" "we have always done good business" "yes we have" "I'd like to speak with dana in person" "I can try arrange that, I will speak to her" "okay please keep me informed" "I will, have a good day" "bye mr hernandez".
Oh I already know how this is going to go, dana will not have any part in it and I hope she stands her ground.

"Mr hernandez" "come in sandy" "here is your coffee" "thank you" "is there anything else I can get you?" "No thanks" "alright" sandy walked out and I grabbed my phone.

- Morning dana, I hope you slept well.
Dana - I did and you? I hope your morning is going alright?
- I slept well. Not bad but I need to speak to you about something
Dana - hmm I can already see where this is going and the answer is no
- I already told him that but he would like to speak with you
Dana - okay I can do that but he won't change my mind
I grinned I didn't think he would
Dana - I'm sorry if it causes you issues
- no, you are what matters if he wants to pull his collections from my business than that's his choice I will not have you go through that again.
Dana - thank you. I better go I have to get ready for my session with corey
- okay have fun and don't over do it
Dana - tell your brother that
I Chuckled. Corey has been pushing her a lot harder but it's been good for her, expect by the end of each week she is sore. Not as much as she used to be but still it does take a toll on her body.

Tomorrow dana has another laser appointment and we are hoping it will be the last one for her arms. She not worried about the small one on her head. I think she just want the ones on her arms gone so she can feel more comfortable and get rid of her hoodies. I know thats why she always wears them out in public and I'd love to see her more comfortable while she is out. It's not like it's cold out now.
She still hasn't ventured out much and avoids the public. hopefully with a new magazine out soon the heat will move off of her and she will be more comfortable to leave the apartment or the jiu jitsu centre.

Knock knock
"Come in" "oh morning Lochie" "good morning Heather how is everything going?" "Good I was actually coming to see you about the upcoming magazine, have you got any models in mind?" "Hmm not yet, I want to see how the meeting goes between mr drays and dana first" "what?" "Yeah he called me earlier and was once again he was adamant he only wants dana but that will not be happening" "you are saying no?" "Yes I'm not pushing her again. He has asked to meet with dana and she agreed but she has already told me she won't do it" "hmm this could mean you could lose alexander drays pieces in your magazine" "yes and I am willing to do so" "that is a big decision" "no, dana is my partner and I will not risk losing her for a few images. I nearly lost her last time and I am thankful she was willing to give me another chance" heather grinned "alright, we always have other lines we can use" "that is correct".
"do you really think she will turn him down, he is a very successful business man" "he may be but dana doesn't care about how well known someone is. She does what is right for her" "oh Id love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting when will it be happening?" "I haven't discussed that with dana nor mr drays, I would like to speak with dana in person before I arrange it" "that is a good idea. Well I will leave you to your work. Please let me know what is happening so I can arrange some items for the shoot" "I will, thank you heather".

Dana

Finishing my session with corey we both sat down to talk.
"How has your body been handling the sessions?" "Not bad by the end of the week it needs some tlc but it's definitely not as bad as it used to be" corey grinned "you have come a long way" "I know. Oh your brother messaged me today saying mr drays wants to meet with me" "how are you feeling about that?" "Fine, I'm happy to meet with him but my answer is still going to be no" "you won't do it again?" "I'm not ready for that and it doesn't make me feel comfortable" "how is Lochie handling it?" "Alright actually he said he won't push me and he stands by my decision" corey grinned "good so he should plus I know you are still avoiding the public" "yep. Oh I have my laser appointment tomorrow Im hoping the last of my scars will be gone on my arms" "that's awesome I'm sure it's uncomfortable always covering yourself up" "ehh I'm used to it but it would be nice to not have to cover them all the time" "you know you don't have to" "in my mind I do, I don't want to be questioned nor looked down upon" "we won't do that" "others might though" "yeah maybe. Let me know how it goes" "I will. I better get going" "take care dana" "you too, see you on Wednesday" "you will".
Waiting until my taxi arrived I then got in and headed home.
Walking into my apartment I locked my door as always then headed to the kitchen. I needed food. feeling a severe cramping in my stomach I dropped to the ground. "Far out" feeling a gush of liquid in my lower region I looked down to see a lot of blood soaking through my leggings. "F*ck".
Making my way to the bathroom I headed straight to the toilet removing my pants but the blood didn't stop. This isn't my usual period. The cramps were overbearing. What the hell is wrong with me.
I need to contact Lochie. Grabbing my phone from my pocket, I decided I should call him.

"Hi dana" "Lochie there's something wrong" "dana are you okay?" "No I'm argh.. I'm umm cramping really friggin bad and the blood won't stop it's really hurting" "I will be there soon" Lochie hung up the phone and I headed for a shower hoping the heat would help the pain is excruciating. Getting in the shower, I then removed my clothes so the blood didn't go on the floor then sat down. Sitting under the hot water the blood was slowing down but it was still heavy covering the floor where I sat. The cramps weren't settling and I wasnt getting out of the shower to get any painkillers. I wanted the blood to stop. I know it's not my period, I have never had a period like this. Only light cramps and the blood definitely didn't gush out. Closing my eyes, I tried relaxing under the hot water but it wasn't really helping.
"Shit dana" "it's hurts Lochie" "Im going to call a doctor" reaching up, I turned the cold down a little more soaking up some more heat.
