adore you (abandoned)

chapter 11

"Hello?"

Hi Mommy!

"Hi baby!"

I was then confused from the unfamiliar background noises,

Good afternoon passengers. This is your captain speaking. First I'd like to welcome everyone on...

"Honey, Where are you?"

We're in an aiwplane (airplane), mommy!

She enthusiastically said, then I heard a cheery laugh from her side.

"Oh hi honey! The babysitter has some personal matters to attend to and your father's busy with the managing stuff as well, so I tell Adore: 'Let's surprise, mommy, cause why not.'" She casually said.

As much as I want Adore to be with me every step of the way, I was hesitant to expose her to the things in the industry. Especially with what happened the other day, when she suddenly went missing, I don't want to go through that again.

"But mom..."

"No buts, honey... we promised to behave, right Adore?"

"Yes Mommy. I pwomit (promise) to Grandmama and to wou (you), to behave." I can imagine her sweet grin and her puppy eyes behind her voice.

"Ok fine baby. I love you. Have a safe flight." I said, while Violette softly smiled and did her final touches with her work on my face.

"I wuv wou too, mommy." she replied with her infamous giggle.

As soon as I ended the call, Violette also finished my makeup.

"Ms. Rice, we'll be starting in 5 minutes."

"Thank you. I'll be right there."

Deep breathes, Kayc. You can do this.

It's been habitual for me to give myself a pep talk before doing something whether it is for a photoshoot or for a film.

I take a glimpse of myself in front of the mirror, and notice how Violette did her job well from hiding the black under my tired eyes, and how it was all natural that it highlights my features more.

Breathe In

Breathe Out

After I calmed myself, I exited the trailer. I carefully step foot to one of the metal stairs of the trailer. I took one last step of the stairs but good ol' me, missed it. I was trying to grasp the handle vertically positioned at the side.

I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline that allowed myself to close my eyes and prepare for the impact of the concrete, yet it never came. Strong and sturdy but a gentle grip stopped me from my clumsy fall.

"Woah..."

"Easy, there."

I looked up and felt as though my life just flashed before my eyes while struggling to catch my breath. The sun created an aura effect around him as if he had fallen out of heaven to save me from my fall.

Just from our close distance, I could smell my favorite scent of his.

So, he's still using it?

Ok kaycee!? Why do you care if he's still using it?

As my blurry version comes clear, I won't even deny that he looks like a knight not perhaps in shining armor but in leather. It suddenly feels like I'm stuck in a fairytale where the birds chirp in celebration for you have reunited with your prince charming
