"Mom please come visit. Just for a week. I haven't seen you since Christmas." I fell back onto the couch and took a bite out of my white chocolate covered strawberry.

I've been on the phone with my mom for about an hour, but I recently decided to bring up her coming to visit me.

"Sweetie I have a lot of shoots to attend. Vogue, Chanel, you know how the business works."

"Please mom. I want to spend sometime with you." I begged in a baby voice. It always works on her.

She sighed, "Fine I'll be there on Friday afternoon." A smile spread across my face. Today is Wednesday so that means she'll be here in two days. I really miss my mom.

"Okay mom. I can't wait to see you. I'll call you later. Love you."

I tossed my phone on the couch beside me, before I grabbed the remote and pressed play.

"You are so dumb Dan. Always trying to ruin something for Blair." I shook my head as Gossip Girl played on the large television screen.

A light flashed indicating I have received a text. I rolled my eyes as I paused the show once again.

From: James (Received- 1:21)
Meet me at my house. We need to catch up.

I haven't seen James in a while.

To: James (Sent- 1:21)
Alright I'll be there in a few.

This morning the weather reports said it would be about 47 degrees so I decided to dress warm.

I slipped off my oversized sweatshirt and I could see a little bump beginning to form. I'm really hoping my stomach doesn't grow too fast.

I'm not insecure about gaining weight. I know I'm gonna start gaining because of the baby, but if my stomach grows at a quick pace than that'll give me less time to hide it.

I slipped on a cozy slightly oversized crew neck and some black leggings. I shrugged on my black trench coat before I slipped on a pair of black UGGs. I left my in the messy bun I've been rocking for the past 3 days. I placed a pair of vintage glasses on my face.

I grabbed my phone and texted Albert telling him to meet me in outside.

I sat down in my usual spot on the couch and pressed play and began to watch Gossip Girl till I received a text from Albert saying he was outside.

"Good afternoon Albert." I spoke sliding into the back of the SUV. "Hello Mrs. Braun." He said before he closed the door.

"I'm going to the Greg Mansion." I spoke before I pulled my black Beats (I leave them in the car) over my ears and played Hold Me Down by Hasley.

"Thank you Albert. I'll text you when I need you to pick me up." I gave him a smile before I walked up the stairs that leads to the large door.

I pressed the doorbell and stepped back. Moments later the door opened  to reveal a lady dressed in a maid uniform. James is a big drug dealer, he has costumers in multiple parts of the world, so he makes a lot of money.

"Good evening Mr. Greg is expecting you." She moved to the side allows me to enter the house. "He's in his office."

I nodded and continued to walk through the foyer and stopped at the white door that had a sign that read 'James Greg' and a sign under that also read 'Do Not Enter'.
