Modeling Crisis (book 1)

Modeling Crisis: Chapter 12

"Bye Nikki."

Jake said as I began to get out of the car. Neither of us had spoken since the kiss, well that's not accurate. Jake continued to talk to me but I zoned out whenever he did and let me tell you something, I was spacing out back to the kiss. Of course every time I mentally slapped myself whenever I thought about it.

I stop my hand on the handle of the door and look into the sea of Paps that started to surround the car. I sigh and turn to Jake and ask hopefully,

"Would you mind walking me inside?"

Though in my head I silently that he won't because that just means having to hold his hand for a god three minutes depending on how aggressive this group of Paps are and if we'll have security guards helping us.

Jake smiles slightly and says,

"Even before you've never liked going through paparazzi. Sure I'll walk you."

I smile gratefully and say,

"Thanks Jake."

"Anytime Nikki. I'll go first."

Jake opens his door and steps outside where the cameras seem to multiply in flash. Jake turns back and offers his hand to me. I eagerly take his and step outside with the itchy dress in my arm. Well actually this dress wasn't itchy like the prototype. I had gotten the same dress made of different material for free after the photo shoot. Apparently we had to be in those itchy clothes because that material they used showed up better in the camera and Photoshop's better and then they use it in the magazines. Three body guards come to our aid and help us through the sea of paparazzi but I'm feeling nice today and feel like answering some of their questions. So I stop right before I get to the door, Jake looks at me confused. I smirk and lean up to whisper in his ear,

"I want to answer some of their questions, sort of like a press conference."

Jake's eyes light up and he smiles and leans in and says,

"Go for it."

"Nikki are you pregnant?"

I laugh and yell back,

"Do I look pregnant?"

"Nikki This way!"

"Nikki will you get married to Jacob?"

I answer this one,

"Not anytime soon."

Jake cried defensively, playing along,

"I thought we had something special!"

We both crack up laughing.

"Jacob this way!"

"Nikki do you regret taking him back?"

I look at Jake who nods in encouragement and I say,

"I did at first but our relationship has its bumps in the road any normal person."

"Jake how was the photo shoot?"

Jake answers and says sweetly,

"It was amazing; I got to spend it with my girl."

Jake kisses my forehead and more flashes go off. I mouth to him that we're done here and we head inside where the paparazzi noise dies down. The body guards stand by the doors and wait for Jake to come back out to help him back to the car. We're still in the lobby so I grab his hand and pull him around the corner where no window is visible.

                I sit down on the tiny gold bench and pat a spot next to me. Jake sits down and asks,

"What do you want? No one's here, so we don't have to pretend."

I roll my eyes and say,

"Well I wanted to talk about today and say thank you for walking me just now."

Jake runs a hand threw his hair, sighed and asked,

"What about? I kissed you because there were people watching and we have to learn how to keep up appearances."

I turn and face Jake, look him straight in the eye and say,

"Jacob Anthony Mason, that kiss wasn't to keep up for appearances. So you're going to tell me why you kissed me. And maybe I won't slap you."

Jake chuckles and says,

"Caught me."

He holds in hands up in surrender. I roll my eyes and say,

"Seriously Jacob. Why?"

He leans his head and the back of the wall and says,

"I never got over you, you know? All those girls, I was just trying really hard to make you jealous. I was the one also made my manager make this arrangement between us."

"You fucking did this?! Jake...why...what...I...what?"

I'm lost of complete words and I stutter in confusion. He looks straight into my eyes and grabs both sides of my face with his hands and says,

"Nikki, I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to be near you again."

I whisper, hurt coloring my voice,

"Did you ever think about trust, Jake? When I walked in our apartment, and saw you with that girl."

His eyes sad when he says,

"I'm so sorry for hurting you Nikki, I love you. Always have and most likely always will."

"Jake, I-"

Jake cuts me off by saying,

"Tell me you don't feel anything for me."

"Jake, I –"

"Listen to me Nikki. It doesn't matter what all those people think out there or even what you're thinking right now. Look me in the eye and tell me you don't feel something for me."

He begs me. I feel my eyes turn soft as I confess,

"Jake, I love you too but I can't Jake. You know why, this was only supposed to be fake."

Tears begin to prick my eyes and threaten to fall down. Jake sighs and says,

"Tell me if you don't feel anything."

Jake kisses me. His lips explore my mouth and he gently grazes his teeth against my lips and I open invitingly. His tongue enters my mouth as he deepens the kiss. He grips my face tighter and he pulls me onto his lap. I straddle him as I tangle my hands into his hair. I feel my dress slip out of my lap and fall onto the ground. I pull away and gasp for air. Jake's mouth doesn't leave my skin as he kisses down my neck. I pull his mouth back to mine. We both pull away and I rest my forehead on his and say jokingly,

"Yep, I defiantly felt nothing."

Jake kisses me again for a hot second and says,

"I never stopped thinking about us."

I chuckle and say,

"Aren't all those lines the one's I'm supposed to say? You sound like a girl Jake."

He laughs and says looking straight into my eyes,

"I've missed you Nikki. Will you go out with me for real this time?"

I smile and say,

"Sure but first I have to break up with fake boyfriend. Some loser named Jacob Mason."

We both erupt into laughter.
