Gravity

Chapter 14

'Hey. It's me. I know I haven't wrote anything in a while. I'm slacking I know but in all honesty things have been so bat shit crazy lately.  No excuses....I hear ya! Sooooo...I took this job for a model named David and for the last several weeks we have literally been traveling the world. Like right now I am sitting in this fabulous hotel in Sydney Australia with a killer ocean view!
But what's even funnier is somewhere a long the way.....I have fallen in love with this man. I know I know you are just as shocked as I am right?!  Who knew someone could love me??  As much as I tried to tell myself I couldn't and shouldn't.....I did.
No he doesn't know everything just yet....it's only a matter of time. And don't give me the "honesty is key" lecture I know! I'm just not ready to let go of him yet when he so chooses to run. But what's really interesting is.... Get this..!
I have not had a single nightmare in the weeks I have been with him! Not. A. Single. One. I don't know what to think about that. Yes I have been sharing a bed with him and at first I was completely against it because I didn't want him to see one but you can NOT say no to that face! Just when he snuggles up behind me, wraps me in his arms and the warmth of his body....it calms me.'

"Hey. What are you doing?" His sexy British accent whispered in my ear.
Jumping I quickly slammed my book shut then turned to look up at him standing over me. He was fresh from the shower with nothing but jeans on. His intense masculine smell enveloped me completely leaving me dripping with need.

"Nothing." I smiled sweetly adjusting my seating on the couch.

"What about you? Ready to head home for a few days?" I asked trying to get his mind off of what I was doing.

"You have no idea. Not that I haven't loved traveling, especially having you with me has it that much better but I'm ready to have you all to myself."

"Oh yeah? I should probably be heading back to New York you know? I haven't seen Amy in forever....and my job..."

"I understand but you can spare a day or two right? Please?" He pleaded with his best pouty face.

"Yeah I'm sure I could manage a day or two." My answer rewarding me with his panty dropping smile.
He rounded the couch to take a seat next to me.

"There is just one more thing I want to talk to you about...." He started.

"Ok...."

He took my arm pulling me into him and smiled "So there is an event in London this Saturday and I would like for you to accompany me."

"What type of event and one would assume its formal and very public?"

"The British Fashion Awards....and yes it is formal......and public but.."

"Oh David....I don't...I don't think that would be such a good idea. We have talked about this..."

"What if I could get Amy in with a press pass?" He bargained raising his eyebrow.

"She would love that!! And probably would die!" I whispered causing him to chuckle. "But no. I would love to go but I don't want us being photographed together and end up in magazines and all over social media."

"Joslyn please...."

"No David! I said no ok? Please do not ask me again. Just let it go."

"Well. Ok then. I'm sorry I asked." He stood from the couch and began to walk away.

"David don't be mad."

"You can't live life locked up inside Joslyn. It wasn't meant to be lived that way. I'm not mad. Just.....beginning to re-think some things."

A small gasp escaped from my lips.
"Like what? Me? Us?"

We stared at each other for several long agonizing minutes before he sighed and walked away.
