(Don't Leave by Snakehips ft. MØ)

Mason meets me at the restaurant where my next photo shoot is being held. It's for a crazy magazine that's obsessed with food so I will be dressed in food today. They want me to wear a nude bra and panties so it doesn't look like I'm wearing anything when they put the food on me. I believe the theme is dessert.

While a woman does my hair, I reply to Alex's text, letting him know where I am. The woman beside me has my hair pulled over one shoulder and is curling the ends. Once it's finished, I make my way over to Mason, wearing nothing but my bra and panties. "Where do they want me?" I ask.

"That big table over there," he points.

I climb onto the table and my hairdresser holds onto my hair as I carefully lay back. She fixes my hair on the table as people begin placing various desserts around and on me. Cupcakes, candy, frosting and more cover my body. "I'm done with photo shoots like this!" I yell to Mason.

"Why?" he asks, walking towards me.

"It's fucking weird. Do people actually enjoy seeing women like this?"

"There's more to eat," he laughs.

I can't help but smile. "Can you check my phone to see if Alex texted back?"

"Yeah. Let me check on Justin first."

He walks away and I turn my attention back to the workers who decorate me with various candies and desserts. When I notice Mason nearing me, I shake my head. "You owe me a new bra and panties."

I glance at him then do a double take. Alex is beside him and he doesn't look too happy. Shit. That didn't sound appropriate and this probably doesn't look good. "We'll give you two a minute," Mason says, glancing between us.

With that being said, everyone clears the room, leaving us alone. I sit up using my elbows, causing a few candies to fall from their place. "What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I finished at work early and thought I'd spend some time with you."

"I'm working," I say softly.

"Is that what you call this?" he asks. "Showing off your body for money isn't work."

"It's what I do. I don't know what you want me to do."

"I want you to quit," he states simply.

I furrow my eyebrows. "No."

"Why not?" he asks.

"Look, I know you're upset about that photo shoot but I'll make ten thousand dollars each day they call me in. I'll be under contract for a month which means I could make a ton of money," I explain. "That money could pay for everything the baby needs."

He shakes his head. "I know you're used to doing what you have to for money but things aren't the way they used to be. I have enough money to support our family."

Our family. It makes my heart melt but I'm not ready to let him have his way. "I know you can but that money could really help us. We could put it away for when we actually need it."

"You're not doing it," he snaps.

"Who are you to tell me?" I ask angrily, sitting up and causing a bunch of candy to fall from my body. "It's my body and I'll do with it as I please. I'm comfortable enough with my body to do it."

He shakes his head. "Would you be okay with dad seeing those pictures? Or our child? And what about Addison? She looks up to you and wants to be like you. This isn't something you should've even considered."

I've never thought of it like that but he has a point. I wouldn't want my family to see those photos and I'd be a horrible role model for Addison. "Look at yourself. You're a joke to these people. You can do so much better."

Looking down at my lap, a tear falls from my eye. He steps foward but I shake my head. "Don't."

"I'm done discussing this with you. If you do it we're done. But don't come back to me until you've decided."

He begins walking away and I begin hating myself for everything. Why can't I do anything right? I'm a fuck up - that's why.

Standing up, more candy falls from my body as I make my way over to the vanity. Grabbing my clothes, I go into the bathroom. I take off my bra and panties and quickly wipe away the sticky mess the candy has created. Once the mess has been washed away, I get dressed and put my hair up.

The only thing on my mind right now is leaving. I just need space... a break from life. Grabbing my keys, I make my way outside and get in my car. After making sure I have a full tank of gas, I get on the highway. I'm not sure where I'm going but I plan on staying there for a while. I need to think about things before I face anybody again.

After a few hours of driving, I find myself at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando. It's as nice as the one in Miami, only I don't have the luxury of an executive suite this time. I pay cash for a normal room and make myself comfortable on the queen sized bed. Even though I came here to think, I decide to watch TV to take my mind off of things for a while.

As I begin drifting off to sleep, I realize that I left my phone with Mason. I don't remember his phone number so my trip will be shorter than I hoped. He has no way of letting me know of any upcoming photo shoots. No one can contact me because of my impulsive decision. Sighing, I close my eyes and hope for a good nights sleep.
