~ Chapter 11 ~ We're Going To New York

The next day at work the smile on my face never wavered. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't remove it. Not even Jacob smearing blue paint on the table could wipe away my smile.

Adonis had text me this morning. I remembered the exact words because I kept saying them over in my head.

You keep running through my mind.

Last night we were probably on the phone until four am. How he pulled that off I don't know but we did. We were just aimlessly talking. About everything but nothing. We shared laughs and there were rarely any awkward silences.

"What's got you smiling like a rodeo clown?" Jasmine was dressed as a cowgirl. Today was Halloween and we had to wear our costumes today. But since it was the afternoon we still had work and we still had kids running around in costumes.

"Nothing." I shook my head.

I had to go out and buy a whole new costume because mine was ripped. So I was know dressed up in a goddess of love Aphrodite costume.

"No something has you smiling. What is it?" She turned me around.

"Fine there's a guy and he makes me happy." I wasn't going to tell her it was Adonis. If I did she's give me this whole spiel about how he's married and moved on and how he broke my heart and yada yada I don't need that right now.

"And.." She drawled out.

"We had sex and then stayed up on the phone all night." I continued washing the table. My smile was now gone.

Thanks so much jasmine. Note the sarcasm.


"Who is this guy?" She tried not to squeal.

"You don't know him." I lied.

"Well do I get to meet him?" She huffed.

"No, would you just leave me alone." I mumbled and ringed the rag out in the bucket.










I looked around the studio and it looked amazing. There were clothes hanging on racks. The walls were all white except for the backdrop. There were rooms off to different places, a table with snacks. Those tall lights, then the person I was looking for.

"Surprising." I walked up behind him. He turned around and smiled.

"Hey you." He pulled me into him by my waist and kissed my temple. "I was afraid you'd get lost." He joked.

"I kinda did." I saw a smile creep on his face. "But I'm here now ok! And I brought your food." I held up the subway bag.

"You're truly amazing you know that." He rubbed his nose against mine and took the bag from my fingers. "So how are you liking the studio?" He walked over to a table.

"It's stunning, I never thought you'd become a photographer." I followed him.

"Photographer, model, I do both." He waved it off and pulled me onto his lap.

"You model?" I asked surprised.

"A little." He started to unwrap his sandwich.

"I can't stay long I have to get back to work." I huffed and looked at him.

"Alright." He lightly kissed my cheek and allowed me to get up. "Get used to this because next week you'll be in a studio just like this." He smiled.

"I'll be looking forward to it." I smiled and started walking out the studio.

Right when I stepped outside I bumped into Laura.

"Alaska!" She said surprised. I was slightly frozen. "What are you doing at Adonis's job?" She narrowed her eyes.

"My cousin, she's a model here and I was just dropping by to say hi. I haven't seen her in a few years." It wasn't exactly a lie. My cousin Nora was here and she was a model and I hadn't seen her in a long time. I ran into her on my way inside.

"Oh." She nodded her head. "I just came to see my husband." She held her coat closer to her.

From the way she's dressed I can tell they're going to be doing more than seeing each other. She was wearing one of those long jackets that covered your body and some heels. God only knows what she's wearing underneath.

"Oh tell him I said hi then." There was no need to actually. She nodded her head and we went our separate ways.

When I got back to work I screamed because a werewolf masked popped out.

"Told you she'd be scared!" Matt highfived his friend Jackson.

"You kids are gonna get enough of scaring her." Jasmine shook her head with a fake baby strapped to her chest.

"She's so easy to scare." Matt smirked and took his werewolf mask from my hands.

"I hate Halloween." I grumbled and went off into the kitchen. Once again I screamed because I was attacked by fake spiders.

"Too easy." Jackson agreed.









"You're not even paying attention." Jasmine snapped at me as she handed the little boy a pack of m&ms.

"I'm sorry I'm just thinking." I pick at the empty pretzel packet I had.

"About what?" She looked at me.

"Do you think if I hadn't made Shug things with me and Adonis would be different?" I twisted my lips slightly.

"I think if you hadn't made Shug you and Adonis probably wouldn't know each other. So yes things would be different. Things happen for a reason." She looked at the line of kids walking up to her porch.

By the time they left the bowl was almost empty.

"Could you go inside and get the other bag of candy?" She asked while smiling and handing out the candy.

I stood up and went in the house. I grabbed the bag and opened it before taking it outside and dumping it in the bowl.

"Alaska! Jasmine!" Marcy came running up to us her brown hair flowing behind her.

"Hey Mar." I hugged her and then she hugged jasmine. "You're a pretty vampire." I laugh. She didn't show up to daycare today.

"Vampires aren't cute!" She hissed. "They're scary."

"Marcy honey, get your candy and come on please." Laura added sounding annoyed. Jasmine placed a handful of candy in her pillow case.

"Our little secret." Jasmine placed her finger to her mouth and shushed.

"Ok." She giggled. "Bye guys." Marcy waved and ran off towards Adonis and Laura.

Laura was holding on to Adonis and he looked slightly uncomfortable. The rest of the night, until midnight, was spent handing out candy and thinking. I've been over thinking.








"You ok." Jason asked through the phone.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. It's just.." I trailed off and shook my head. I then realized he couldn't see me. "I'm fine."

"It's not like I'm dying. Just a little accident." He chuckled but then groaned.

"Jason, you were in a drunk driving accident. You could've been killed. It could've been worse. You have to go into surgery tomorrow." That's what really had me on edge. "Promise me you'll have somebody call me afterwards to tell me you're ok."

"I promise, Jordan's going to be upset when he wakes up." Jason sighed.

"Why?" I raised my brow.

"His girlfriend she had glass in her head and she maybe in a coma. He's also has a fractured rib and has a broken wrist."

"Oh my gosh, does Adonis know?" I placed my hand lightly over my mouth.

"Somebody was supposed to contact him. But since he's no longer his legal guardian I doubt they did."

"So! That's still his brother his has the right to know." I snapped at him. I wasn't upset at him I was upset at the stupid hospital people.

"We don't know if they did or not. Look Alaska I have to go. Try not to worry to much alright. We'll be fine." He tried to sooth me but after hearing what happened to Adonis's parents I don't want that to happen to them.

"You'll have someone call me right after right?" I asked again just to have a slight since of release.

"I will and if I'm not to out of it I'll even call you myself." Once again he tried to crack a joke but ended up failing.

"I love you Jason." I bit my nail.

"I love you too, and stop biting your nails they'll be gone before you're thirty." I smiled and ran my fingers through my hair.

We bid our goodbyes and I hung up. My phone rang again and Adonis name flashed across it.

"Are you home?" He sounded distraught.

"Yeah why?" I tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Are you dressed?" He asked again.

"Yes why?" I would call pajama pants and a hoodie dressed. Don't judge my style.

"Then come outside." He then hung up.

I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my keys and car charger. When I went outside and locked the door his car was right there. I slid into the car and he pulled off without getting me a chance to put on me seatbelt. He was driving at a fast speed. If he didn't slow down we were bound to get pulled over or in an accident. But seeming it was about 2 in the morning there was barely anyone on the road.

"Mind telling me where we're going?" I looked at him.

"We're going to New York."

_____________
