Chapter 1

EX GF
"What is he doing here?!" I find myself gasping in horror as I make my way down the aisle of the plane, small overhead luggage in tow behind me.

I don't miss the way his head whips in my direction from his once view of the plans window he was looking out of. My voice must have startled him, his lips ever so slightly begin to curl in with a snarl sound emitting.

"Me? What are you doing here?! Aren't you like-" he stops and sucks in a harsh breath "suppose to be in Paris, at the Fashion Show?"

I can't tell him I called in sick, he'll never let me live it down. It was my soul life dream to go to that fashion show and be part in it. That's what the whole diet I was on for was all about. Why I didn't sleep for a solid two nights. Why I wasn't suppose to be here now but here I am. I couldn't tell him any of that. So I decide to be s bitch instead. Something he's not fond of.

"No. I'm suppose to be here on this nonrefundable flight to Mexico."

"Well so am I." I can see that, idiot.

"Yeah but you said you wouldn't be. That you didn't want to be anywhere near me for the rest of your life. As I recall you also said you would rather eat dirt then to be on this plane right now." I clear my throat. "So,.."

"So?" He asks. It's hard not to smile at the dumb idiot before me, but I refrain and control my mouth to stay still. No smile from me.

"So why aren't you eating dirt instead!?"
