Ch 0.8 • Text Message

After the appointment I got home and immediately had to drive with my parents to the airport to bid them goodbye. We hugged and cried and then they had to board the plane, they left as my dad consoled my mom and my mom cried on his shoulder that she had to leave us again. "Bye mom, bye dad!" We shouted in unison, Ryan pulling me into a side hug as I too was crying like my mother.

"I'm just gonna miss them so much," I sniffed. Ryan rubbed my shoulder and Justin joined the hug.

"I know, sis, I know," Justin mumbled.

"Hey, it's just the Trainor sibs again," Ryan chuckled beside us causing us to laugh.

"Yeah," Justin grinned, "I guess it is."

The next day I started getting ready for my date. "Hey Ry?" I called down and soon enough he appeared in my doorway.

"What's up doc?" He laughs and I smirk at him.

"Call Ashton for me I have a date at 7," I smiled whilst attempting to get to the bathroom to shower. Nope.

"A date?" Ryan choked on air, "How in the hell?"

"It's uh, just a guy I met in the hospital," I tell him honestly. It's not a lie, it's just not the full truth. He eyed me suspiciously. "What you think I've turned to prostitution?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know, Meg, maybe..." He joked and I slapped his arm.

"Well, I need to shower, so go!" I ushered and he put his hands up in mock defeat.

"Yes master, I apologise sincerely for my actions," he laughed as he cruised downstairs. I finally got into the shower and then went to pick my outfit. I pause. What am I supposed to wear? I huff and call Blake.

"Missing me already?" He joked when he answered.

"Not quite. It's just because I don't know where we're going today, I don't know what to wear," I explained quietly.

"You girls and your clothes! Just wear something nice, not overly formal but not overly informal either. Got that?" I nodded even though he couldn't see me.

"Yeah, I think so. Thanks Blake," I thank him.

"Your driver already knows where to take you, so that shouldn't be an issue."

"How did you-"

"Oops! Got to go! See you shortly, Meg." The line went dead and I was left stood in my room with absolutely no idea what to wear.

After about a half hour I settled on a spaghetti strap black dress with gems on the bodice that stopped just above the knee. I picked plain black heels and had my hair curled lightly at the ends whilst I had red lips that contrasted my pale skin. I was cutting it close and finished just before seven. I went downstairs before realising I forgot my clutch and had to lug myself all the way back up to grab my sparkly black clutch and go down again. "Ready?" Ryan asked as I sat on the sofa waiting for Ashton.

"Yes," I sighed, "Finally."

He laughed, "Good, because here's that Ashton to take you to your destination." I groaned. Ryan stood up and hugged me. "Have fun," he mumbled, "But not too much," he warned.

"I'll be fine, Ry. Don't wait up," I smiled at him and he let me go.

"I'm waiting up," he whispered and I smiled with a nod.

"I know you will," I said lightly, touching his arm. I smiled at him one last time before meeting Ashton outside of my sandy coloured rented house. "Hey, Ashton." I smiled at him.

"Hey Meghan," he returned my smile and I got into the black SUV with tinted windows that had become all too familiar.

"So where to, Ashton?"

"No can do I'm afraid Meghan, no can do," he smirked. I groaned in the back seat and watched the scenery pass by as we drove through Los Angeles. Eventually the engine went silent and the car stopped running. We were at a theatre. I got out of the car and smiled at the area around me. Outside of the theatre was a garden with a fountain and neatly trimmed shrubs and plants.

"You like?" Blake asked, appearing from what seemed like nowhere holding a bouquet of flowers. I smiled at him.

"I like," I confirmed, pulling him into a hug. "It's great to see you again," I laughed.

"Same to you, Ms. Trainor. Flowers?" He offered me the collection of roses which I took gratefully.

"Thank you."

"My pleasure," he held out his arm to link. "Shall we go?"

"We shall."

"Hey, in my defence that was not my fault!" I defended.

"Sure," he chuckled, his tone riddled with sarcasm.

"It wasn't!" I whined like a child and he just laughed more. We stopped in front of his car and he looked into my eyes, his hand still holding mine.

"I can call my driver if you-"

"That won't be necessary," he told me, bringing my lips to his. It was soft at first but I deepened it, I made it more rough and he pressed me against the bonnet of the car. My lungs burned for air so I broke away from him. "My place?" I nodded.

"Yeah," I smiled lightly and got into the passenger side of his Audi sports car. We drove back to his no doubt huge house in idle conversation. I mean, if this car is anything to go by, his house must be ginormous! We got back and he pressed me against the wall as soon as the front door closed behind us. I let him take me upstairs and lay me on the bed. Both of us got to the point we were practically naked. I was in nothing but my bra and panties, and he was in nothing but his boxers. The clock had long since passed midnight, but I was still awake enough to know that this was not what I wanted.

"Blake," I pushed his chest, "No, this is too soon."

"I understand," he smiled, moving so he was no longer on top of me. My phone buzzed, which I thought strange since it was practically 1am. I'd expected it to be Ryan. It was not Ryan. What I saw brought tears to my eyes and sobs rose in my throat.
