STOLEN: Part One Of A Princeton Trilogy

Chapter 3

<MAYA>

Thank you jesus. Jacob came to pick up peace around 8:00am, and I had the whole day to myself. It was about time. If I wasnt doing laundry I was washing dishes or tending to little busy body. Now it was time to relax. I decided to run a nice hot bath. While I waited for the tub to fill I went in my room and turned on the tv to my favorite show, access hollywood. I sat down on the edge of the bed and tunned in.
"recantly our very own Michelle Dunahm, caught up with the famous model and ceo of outsiders ink, jacob perez at the image awards red carpet." I rolled my eyes as soon as they said jacobs name. I couldnt look anywhere without seeing him. They flipped over to the clip.

"Reporter: so your nominated for an award to night. Congratulations. I know you must feel great.
Jacob: thank you so much, and I feel really great. You know building my buisness from the ground up and traveling all over the world all while trying to raise a daughter is pretty hectic, and im just so honored to even be cosidered for this award." He said smiling. Only if he was as nice as he was on tv, in person.

"Reporter: okay, I also have a question. Every single woman in the world knows your single, so are you looking for a special lady and if so what kind of woman might catch your eye?
Jacob: well I am looking of corse, and I just want someone who has a really great personality and that my daughter likes. And I admit she is very picky so I dont know." He finished. I scoffed turning off the tv.

He better not have some bitch around my daughter

I thought to myself. The last thing I needed. Seriously.

<JACOB>

"yes, I understand that but I cant leave, not tonight punim." I said into my cell phone pacing back and forth in the kitchen while peace at lunch. I was talking to my agent michael punim. He said I had to fly out to L.A  immediatly for this video shoot. Some singer wanted me to play her lover. But I couldnt, no matter how much I wanted to.

"jacob, this is velecia we're talking about. Come on whats the deal. Your really gonna pass up a $22,000

Cash out?" He asked.

"look, im sorry shes gonna have to find another guy, plus that money is chump change to me." I said truthfully. I usually got paid at least $60,000 just for my face to go past the camera. Plus even if she paid a million I still wasnt gonna leave my daughter. We had a whole day planed out and I wasnt ruining it for anybody.

"im tell her im sorry and I cant make it. I have my daughter with me right now." I instructed, taking a seat at the island in the middle of the kitchen.

"alright jacob." He said with a sigh.

"thanks."

"yeah, yeah, yeah. Bye."

"bye." I said ending the call. I set my phone down on the cold marbol top.

I smiled as I watched peace eating vanilla pudding, getting it all over her mouth. She was so messy sometimes.

"Leana-Peace Marie Perez." I called. She looked up at me smiling.

"you ready to go?" I asked. I was gonna take her over to chresantos cando so the guys could see her. It had been a couple days since the bar b que and I thought it was time to stop by. She shook her head making her twists sway.

I reached for a napkin wiping her mouth making sure ther were no reminats of pudding. All clear.

"come on lets go." I said helping her off the stool. Off to chresantos house we went.
