" Aaron you keep saying that. I really have to go this time. You don't want me getting fired do you?" I begged Aaron. He kept saying "One more night" but I really had to meet up with Mr.Lancaster this time. What was I supposed to tell my parents if they found out I was fired?

"No sweetheart I don't. But I'm going to miss you when you leave. You have no idea how happy I am to have you with me," He pulls me into a warm hug. "Babe, I'm going to miss you too. I'll meet you at my place after work. Around 7 okay?" I suggested. "Okay sweetheart. Promise?" Aaron locked out pinky fingers together. "Promise"

- work -
" Where were you yesterday ?" Mr Lancaster questioned the first thing when I entered the office. "I have a really good reason," I cut him off. "Here. Listen. All the answers for Chambers and some personal recordings I got when me and Aaron were together," I passed him the ear piece and he smiled menacingly.

"Perfect," He snatched the ear piece and connected it into his computer to download the recordings. "Hottest oh lord the bloody hottest news coming up," Mr Lancaster rubbed his hands together. "But no one will know that it was me who contributed the information right?" I quivered through my question.

" Depends Kara, depends," He gave no concern."Depends on?" My heart started to beat faster. "Why does it matter anyways?" He snapped back into reality. "I just don't want either of them to know," I didn't want to say the truth.

" Or is it because you're in love with both of them and you don't want to break their hearts?" He rolled his eyes at me. " No no! It isn't like that!" I interrupted.

" That's what every other typical journalists would say if they had fallen in love with the celebrity. If you were really into this industry, love isn't the priority," He strictly said. "Love isn't my priority. I'm focused, ready and every other quality a potential journalist needs!" I fought back.

"Okay if you say so... After gathering all the information I need from those two brats. I need you to cut all contact you have with them. We're moving on to Olivier Giroud and Kieran Gibbs," He slammed his planning folder close and smirked.

" What?! No! I can't just leave them hanging after using them! Are you out of your mind?!" I screamed in confusion."This is exactly what I meant Ms.Martinez. You're too weak for this industry. We don't need spoilers like you if you carrry on like this. Are you still going to be in or not?" He emphasised the last part.

I couldn't let my family down. I needed the money. This was my dream. This was my 6 years of studying Journalism leading to success. What else was I here in London for other than this oppurtunity? I didn't come here for men. I came here to live my dream.Aaron's words about living the life I love kept ringing in my head. But damn, sometimes you gotta do what you have to.

"Yes I am. Don't worry a single bit about me. What's next for this project?" I answered full of confidence. "These. Read through it and then do it. Clear?" He wrote down a few notes on a post it's and stuck it on a pile of papers.He threw me the a pile of paper binded neatly into a stack.

"That's it for the day. Go back home to your lover boys and do your assignment. Go." He gestured to the door. " That's it for today? I can leave now? It has been barely half an hour!" I gasped.

"Just get out," he rubbed his forehead. I quickly nodded my head and left the office. "Hey babe?" I phoned Aaron to pick me up. "Hey sweetie how's everything?" I could hear the smile in his voice. "Yeah. Everything's great. I'm leaving early today from work. Can you pick me up?" I asked sheepishly.

"Awh shit babe. Your work place has tons of paparazzis. But... Why not you walk down a few blocks from there. I'll pick you up," He suggested. "Well alright. See you there in like 20 minutes?" I agreed. "20 minutes is all I need sweetheart," He hanged up the phone and so did I.

I gathered my stuff and headed out the building. Walking a few blocks away from my work building. I could see Aaron's silver Mercedez from afar and I started walking a little faster. "Hi sweetie. How was work today?"He started the car. "Alright I guess. You don't want to know to be honest." I thought about the newest assignment.

"What's wrong?" His eyes were on the road but his mind on me. "Nothing just a little stressed.Usual," I shrugged my shoulders. "I see you have a binder there. What is the assignment about?" He peeked at the binder I was holding.

"Nothing!! Nothing at all!" I said in panic. "Babe. What's going on? " He sounded serious and concered. "Nothing. Really. Stop." I snapped. He slammed on the brakes and darted his head at me. "We are a thing. We shouldn't be hiding anything from one another.Kara. What is it?" He was eyeing the binder. "Aaron. Please don't do this to me," I sighed. He hurriedly snatched the binder and flipped it open. "Stop contactling Aaron Ramsey and Calum Chambers once done with assignment...Get in contact with Kieran Gibbs and Olivier Giroud...No falling in love..." Aaron read aloud. My heart skipped a beat and my mouth was dry.

"What are all this Kara?" He slammed the folder shut and his face turned red with anger. "Don't let it get to you. Please. This is all part of an act. I really do love you," I pleaded. I gently placed my hand on his face but he flinched it away. "Was this all really a bloody act? All of this was for your stupid assignment. Babe. You're better than this!" He raised his voice.

" Babe trust me! I can explain-"I tried. "I don't want to hear you!" He ignorantly belowed. "We're over with this conversation. Do me a favour shut up when we're on the way back please," His blood boiled. I could feel it. Tear by tear trickled down my face whenever I kept recalling his words. What was I going to do?
