Chapter 31: It's the Met

"So this is my home." I said as I opened the door to my Tribeca apartment.

We had just landed not that long ago, we had used one of the private planes that Mavs parents owned. It was always easier especially when I had to travel with the Mascot head.

"I totally forgot that you lived in the same building as Taylor." She said as she entered the apartment, I usually don't come through here as often as I used to.

But I usually made sure that I had someone come in so often to clean.

"I actually got it before she did." I told her as I brought in the suitcases, motioning for her to follow me as I quickly gave her a tour of the place.

I watched as she took everything in, there were pictures of everyone along with pictures of Rose.

"So you and Scarlett are pretty close huh?" She says as she picks up a picture of Scarlett, Rose and I when she was born.

"I mean you can say that." I said as I scratched the back of my head.

She stared at me before setting the picture down and picking up another probably more recent, usually Scarlett would always drop a few off.

I watched as she studied the picture before looking at the rest, I knew what she was thinking.

As soon as I walked into the apartment you could definitely tell that this is where she could be herself. So many pictures were hung along the wall, you could see the different drawings she had pinned up on the fridge.

The way that it was set up you could see her personality coming through. I knew for the most part she always had to keep it all hidden, it was a nice change to see.

She had quickly given me a tour of the apartment, and I was now checking out all of the photos.

There was one of her with Scarlett when I am guessing Rose was born, it was almost as if... my thoughts seemed to trail off as I looked at the other pictures.

There was a ton of her with Scarletts daughter that I never would've thought would be there. It's almost as if there was something more between the two of them.

I looked back down at the picture before looking over at her, she just kept looking back towards me.

"You can ask me whatever you are thinking." She said as I watch her bounce from her tip toes to her heels.

"Are you.. was there.." I started saying as I place the picture back in its place.

"Am I what?" She asked slowly making her way to the kitchen before coming back and sitting on the couch motioning for me to do the same thing.

I sit down as I looked over at her, she quickly places a water in front of me.

"Maria had it all set up." She said as she opened her bottle. "I'll tell you anything you want to know Hailee."

I nodded my head trying to gain all of my thoughts together, before I actually said asked anything.

"Were you and Scarlett something?" I finally asked as I watched her look down at her drink before looking over at me.

"Honestly not really... there was this one night near her birthday back in 2013. Both of us were really drunk...we've pretty much kept it to ourselves." She said letting a deep breath out at her confession.

"So is that why you have all of these pictures of Rose?" I asked as she took another breath... I sat there waiting for her answer. Simple math would tell you that it was 9 months before Rose was born.
