Jocelyn's POV


After Domnic and I discussed how this plan will work, he left to go to his place to get dressed. I finally had some time to myself to really think if I want this new career or Domnic for that matter. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to handle all of this on my own. It seems like I haven't talked to Star in ages. Though I see her practically every day at work, she's hinted to what's going on with me but I have yet to admit to anything. As I went to get dressed for dinner, I called Star and asked her to come over. "Hi dear. Can you come over like, now? I'm ready to tell you....everything. And I need your help with something." I said to her right before I got into the shower.

Just as I was finished getting out the shower and wrapping up in my towel, I heard the text message beep on my phone. As I picked up the phone, the doorbell rang. Going downstairs to answer the door, the phone beeped again. Opening the door for Star, I noticed a car was outside on the street where no one ever parks. Assuming that it was another photographer, like last night, I let Star in and closed the door.

Immediately we fell into conversation and I was telling her everything from the night of her birthday party till last night. It wasn't easy telling her about Marcus showing up and hurting me, since she hates him with a passion. My phone beeped again and I forgot to check the messages when Star came. I noticed that I had one from Marcus, Domnic's and one from an unknown number. Checking my texts then answering them.......


Domnic: It's only been an hour since I last seen you and I miss you already. I will be there to pick you up at 6. The dinner starts at 6:30. I love you...

Jocelyn: Ok. I love you more.


........


Marcus: I see that you've been a naughty girl Jocelyn. Someone sent me a photo of your boy proposing to you. If you know what's good for lover boy, you might want to say no and break up with him, ASAP! You of all people know how I get when something or someone is keeping me from what I want. I'll be coming to get what's mine soon.

Jocelyn: Restraining order is still in place!!!!!!!


........


Unknown: I see that you don't know how to stay within your age. Someone should turn you in to your place of employment. If I were you, I'd go back to the hubby before he gets anxious.

Jocelyn: Who are you and how in the hell you get my number?

Unknown: That's for me to know and I have my ways. Just stick to men your own age and social status and there wont be any repercussions.

Jocelyn: Who I am with is none of your business. Leave us alone.

Unknown: Unfortunately, it is my business. You either leave him or suffer the consequences.





Texting and listening to Star reprimand me at the same time, I didn't notice the time and it was almost 6. "Star, I'd love to finish this story but Domnic will be here in a bit. Can we finish this tomorrow over lunch? I have no doubt that I will have an abundance of time for you for the next few months. That I promise." I said as I was walking her to the door. "Remember, as of tonight Domnic and I will put our relationship out in the open. But as soon as it is out, we will publicly no longer be an item. I need you to play your part tonight when I come home and need a shoulder to cry on. So don't forget to bring the movies that we missed last month." I said before I opened the door to let her out.





Domnic POV



I noticed a car on the street when I pulled up and saw Ms Star leaving Jocelyn's house. As Star was pulling out of the driveway, she noticed me and did a double take. The look on her face went from happy to mad in as instant. I just hope that its because of the plan that Jocelyn and I discussed.

Ringing the doorbell, I waited patiently for my baby. When she opened the door she was looking at her phone with a wired expression. As I closed the door behind me I asked her what was wrong, then she just handed me her phone. I saw some text messages from Marcus and a unknown number. The messages from both of them were unsettling. I know now that what we plan on doing was for the best.

"Look Thickness, most likely, the unknown person is Alex. She probably had some PI gather all the info that they could on you. Especially your number, so she can mess with your head. I'll get you another phone before you leave for New York. Right now, can we put Marcus and Alex on the back burner and enjoy our time together before we 'break up' in front of everyone." I said knowing that I was going to have a hard time without being with her.

Just holding her in my arms remembering all of our moments and conversations together within the last couple of months. I truly believe that I have found my equally yoked, soul mate. A man couldn't ask for more than that.

As I run my fingers across her hands, I noticed that she's not wearing the ring on her ring finger. Instantly, I started to worry. I'm starting to think against Plan B. "Thickness, where's your engagement ring?   Please tell me that you are not having second thoughts.   What is going through that beautiful mind of yours?  Don't you trust me to not let Alex and Marcus break up what we have?" I said making sure that she knew that I was concerned of why she took off the ring.    "Domnic, slow down and pump your breaks boo.   I didn't want them to get suspicious, so I put that ring on my other hand with the other rings.  It won't come off until you take it off to put it where it belongs.   Until then, it will stay on the ring finger on my right hand.   And yes, I do trust you.   Don't you trust in the plan that you put together?   Since Mac is going to New York too, I know that you must have a back up plan if things don't go your way, right?" she says, eyeing me as if to make sure if I was sure about the plan that was chosen.   "Either plan works for me, Thickness, as long as I'm with you.  But if this plan means that the family keeps the company as is and I get my girl, well I'm down with the plan. But if I feel like I'm loosing you at any time, I will immediately revert to Plan A.   The business means a lot to my family but you mean more to me.   I won't let anything or anyone get in my way of making you my wife." I said to her making sure she looked me directly into my eyes.   She gave me a faint smile, looked at her watch and walked to the door, opening it and saying, "Well look at the time.   I'm hungry.   Aren't you?"   Thank goodness I knew where she was going with that one.   She was ready to get this show on the road.   And so was I.    "I'm starving." I said as I slapped her on the ass after she locked up her house, walking by me to get into the car.

Hey guys, this was just a little filler to inform the Mac fans that he too will be going along on this little adventure and possibly Star.........  The impending dinner will be next.   Remember that Alex was invited to dinner as well.   This should be interesting, don't you think??????  Until then...........
