"What?" I asked while staring at him in awe. He smiled, he could sense my nervousness i'm sure. "The sunset" he pointed to the sky not taking his beautiful brown eyes off of me. "Isn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?...besides yourself" I blushed, looking down at the ground feeling like a little nervous kid again. "Uhm...yeah" He laughed and walked over to the railing and leaned over it beside me. I could feel my heart starting to pound straight out of my chest.
Silence fell upon us for the minute or so as he just stared in deep thought. Right now I could only dream of being a mind reader. "So what's your name?" he asked me while turning to face me and taking a few sips out of his glass. "A..Aliyah...Aliyah Felts" He nodded and smiled...Goodness he has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. "Are you like a dancer or.." I cut him off unintentionally, "Assistant stylist" He just stared at me and got quiet making me feel extremely awkward. "I-i'm sorry I didn't mean to.." He laughed again, "no it's fine." Once again a silence fell upon us and i could feel his eyes on me which was freaking me out so bad. "Would you want to...?" I turned to face him as he was beginning to ask me a question but he stopped mid sentence, laughed and sipped from his glass.I was confused. With my eyebrows drawn together I asked him, "Would I like to.. what?" "Would you like to come through and style for My video shoot?"
I nearly choked on my wine. Gasping for air I managed to say, "What!? I-I-I mean ye-yes are you fucking kidding me right now? Please don't be kidding me right now." He let out a slight chuckle, "I'm pretty serious, I mean I was gonna ask Jessica but I mean this might score me some points with you so why not" I don't know if I should feel happy or disappointed about him giving me a job that I love only to score points with me and he could have definitely seen it on my face because I began to frown a bit. He laughed, "I'm just kidding about the score points thing, but I do like your style and Jessica's style just doesn't suit me the way yours does...so what do you say?" Tilting my head to the side with an eyebrow raised I agreed. We exchanged contacts and he texted me the info that I needed for the shoot. I left soon after considering I had Aiden at home probably about ready to set my shit on fire. The whole drive home all I could think about was the fact that I went from a B- nursing student to styling for an A+ celebrity overnight. " Drake " I whispered aloud to myself while waiting for the light to change. I Laughed, why was this man giving me butterflies while I am on the way home to be with my boyfriend? The weirdest part of it all I've never been a huge fan of his nor have I ever found him to be...attractive to say the least but for some reason, I am having butterflies about him while on the way home...to be with my man.

"Maybe I should come with you tomorrow...you can't trust these rap guys, I read all the time the way they force good girls in bed with them Aliyah." I was completing a few of my assignments while Aiden went on and on about why he should come with me. I have to say on one hand it was cute but on the other hand it was really frustrating, "I can take care of myself Aiden" He grabbed my wrist slightly making me look at him in confusion, "Truth is Aliyah I don't trust any of these guys around you. I mean have you seen how beautiful you are? I'm just gonna follow you there and I'll stay far away as possible." "Aiden! no! You can't just...you can't just pop up with me at my jobs..no one's gonna ever want to work with the girl who brings her self conscious boyfriend along every time"
I felt a little bad once the words were actually out of my mouth, they sounded better on the inside than they did on the outside. He just nodded, and walked away.
I felt bad, mostly because I got so defensive because I didn't want Aubrey to find out about my boyfriend, I kinda felt like he'd give the job to someone else if he knew he had absolutely no chance with me. Wait, who am I kidding? The guy has me blushing just thinking about him. "What are you thinking about?" Aiden walked into the room knocking me from my thoughts, "uh, nothing really...Just how perfect you are to me" He smiled and jumped in bed kissing me. "I'm not nearly as perfect as you are" I smiled, put my books away and fell asleep in his arms swapping between him and another man in my dreams.
