Chapter 17- The fault in my stars

Chapter 17- The fault in my stars

Hello cupcakes! How are you today? I'm late in updating, I know, I'm sorry.. but I have valid excuses. I was sick and I had a CRAZY schedule ahead of me that I had to manage. I had my painting exhibition and then it was Diwali, which is like a huge festival for us Indians and the big topper was that my sister got married. I was literally all over the place because of that. After I flew back home from Mumbai, which was yesterday, I had another lovely thing to confront- my physics test which was today. You can imagine the joy a jet lagged teenager experiences when she has to sit and study ridiculous physics numericals when she'd rather volunteer as a tribute at the Hunger Games. Now if that wasn't enough this Friday I have to COMPOSE and sing a song for my AP English class.

Just perfect.

So, I hope that explained all the messages you guys sent me asking why I wasn't updating. I can be excused, right? *puppy eyes*

Anyway, I won't bore you guys any more with details, so here's the newest chapter!

Enjoy

Focus.

Focus.

Focus.

I chewed on the tip of my pencil as I edited Aerin's manuscript.

Focus.

"Ah, screw it." I grumbled my patience snapping as I reached for my phone.

1 voicemail. 5 missed calls.

Austin.

My finger hovered dangerously over the hear option as I chewed my lip.

"Why are you making this so hard Austin?" I whispered and pressed the delete all option.

I had to kick him out of my mind.

Tango entered my room with his half chewed tennis ball in his mouth, tail wagging.

"Why are boys so complicated, Tango?"

Tango cocked his head to a side.

"I need to get him out of my head."

Tango placed his saliva slicked ball in my hand and yapped.

I sighed. "Let's see if playing ball with you can help."

I tossed the excited beagle the ball and watched him bring it back to me. I tossed it back to him again and I felt a small smile tug at my lips as Tango chased his tail losing his ball in the process and then getting dizzy and crashing into the couch.

What a little goof.

I chuckled as my phone rang, it was Blake.

"Hey there Blakey."

"Hi Soph, are you free right now?"

"I was working on some editing but yeah.. do you have something in mind?"

"Actually I do, I was in the neighborhood, a new designer wanted to discuss a new modelling project with me, I finished just now and there's this really nice food joint that just opened here, they serve some amazing comfort food, I was wondering if you wanted to join me."

Comfort and food together. Mmm, how can I resist?

I smiled. "Sure! I would never say no to food."
