Fated Love

Chapter 21

I got to my destination and met Ian with someone, a model I assume –I had seen him earlier on the stage. They were laughing at what one of them had said.

As I drew closer, I got a better view of the person Ian was laughing with and there was only one word I could use to describe him. Damn, he was young and handsome.

Talk about those intriguing hazel coloured eyes, babe! My inner voice squealed. Wow!!

Yeah, I had a thing for people with coloured eyes, they catch my attention faster than you can blink. I find them fascinating.

I walked past them to where I'd earlier been standing and placed the chair besides Ian.

He looked over at me with his dimply smile. "What took you long?"

"Erm, I met a friend."

"Oh." He nodded and stole a glance at what young man seated next to him was doing. "Your phone's been ringing." He said to me.

"Oh, okay." I collected my bag from floor, brought out the phone and indeed found several missed calls. "Thank you."

He flashed me a smile and turned his attention to the guy beside him.

I stared after him longingly, wondering what had him all excited. I let out a soft breath, opened my phone and blinked as I checked the calls I'd missed. Four from Rosa and one from Krystal.

I bit my lower lip and frowned. "What could possibly be going on to warrant these calls?" I mused.

You forgot, your life is an headline story. My inner voice offered.

Ha! But how and when did that happen?

Ask yourself. Was the reply I got.

I swiped the screen and was about returning their calls when Rosa's call came in.

"Oye!" She squealed. I winced –isn't she supposed to be at work. "¿Como estás usted?"

"Soy bien." I smiled.

"¿Como está el trabajo?" She asked.

"Ha sido bueno hasta ahora." I answered. "What's with the Spanish?"

"Can't you tell? I'm so in the Spanish speaking mood." I arced my brow as though she could see me. "I just felt like speaking the language to see if I still remember the basics."

"Oh." I muttered.

"Have you eaten?"

"No." I frowned.

"Why?!"

"Because I've been busy." I pointed out.

"And you didn't take any food with you?"

"Nope." I answered, emphasizing the 'p'.

She paused for a moment, "Did you even eat this morning before leaving?" She said, with a low voice.

"Sadly, no." I sighed. "I woke up late and left the house in a hurry."

"Jeez! That's bad." She mumbled. "I'll tell Krystal to make it an objective that you eat before leaving or you at least take something with you."

"Please, do." I cried.

"So," she started with her usual cheery voice. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," I shrugged. "The photoshoot is going well as planned and everything's good. Although, I'm currently on a break."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Oh, that reminds me, you didn't tell me Reece was having a shoot here." Ian sat up at that and glanced at me.
