Dylan Ryder's FoolProof Guide to Womanizing

Chapter [29]

Chapter 29

"What an a@shole" GigI yelled into the phone.

"Tell me about it"

"I can't believe this... So this would have been at least 2 years ago"

"I know"

"And with Heather? Like what the hell is up with that",

"I think that irritates me more than anything... Like anyone but my worst enemy I would maybe forgive him. But he knows our history"

"Yeah, oh hey babe I’ll have to talk to you later yeah? Gotta go in for hair and makeup."

"No problem, I’ll call you soon". Brooklyn didn’t feel like going to work today but she knew she had to act like everything was fine otherwise people would ask questions.

And after such a public engagement there were going to be questions she didn't want to answer.

Brooklyn had just had gotten out of the shower when she heard her phone ringing on the bedside table, she read the caller ID to see "River" flashing across the screen.

She rejected six calls and missed seven before he stopped calling.

She drove to her studio with a frown on her face. She didn’t greet the receptionists when she got out of the lift. She walked past everyone and retreated to her office where she shut the door behind her.

"Hey what’s up with you? Thought you'd be over the moon today" Louisa began when she walked in unannounced.

"This is really not the time Louisa" Brooklyn said acting as if she was busy with paperwork.

"Oh surely all that stuff can wait, show us your ring" Louisa said walking up to Brooklyn trying to lift Brooklyn hand.

Brooklyn snatched her hand back and yelled this time "L GET OUT OF MY OFFICE"

Louisa was shocked and stunned at Brooklyn's outburst that she pretty much ran out of the office.

Brooklyn put her head against the table and sobbed uncontrollably.

I was pretty shocked when it was Louisa not Brooklyn that called me to come in to the studio for a few more shots. I arrived at exactly 2pm. Brooklyn though was out of sight.

"Where's Brooklyn?" I asked Carla who had also come in to take a reshoot.

"I don't know I just got here as well" she said in her strong Russian accent.

Louisa came scurrying past moments later, "she's got a stick up her a*s today, dont bother"

"But why she just got proposed to by one of the sexiest guys I know" Christian the other photographer added whilst focusing his camera and taking shots of another model.

"I'll go check on her" Carla suggested before making her way down to Brooklyn's office.

"Brooklyn honey what’s wrong?" she asked when she found a completely distraught Brooklyn.

Brooklyn explained everything after Carla's persistence got to her.

"That bastard" Carla muttered to herself.

The crying and seclusion continued for about a week before Brooklyn decided that it was time for her to suck it up.

She was in her office filling out some paperwork when a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in" I less distraught Brooklyn said, she had her head down still finishing up paper work when she lifted her head to see Dylan standing in front of her.

"I came to see if you were okay, also wanted to see if the ring really was that big close up" I said smiling slightly.

"I'm better now, and I forgot to wear it. Did Carla tell you?"

"She didn’t need to, you wouldn’t forget to put on a rock that big on your finger" I said referring to her engagement ring.

This got a laugh out of Brooklyn. "Not the time to be cracking jokes Ryder"

"I cheered you up didn’t I?"

"I guess you did", Brooklyn replied with a smile, "Do you wanna go grab a Starbucks? I'm craving a Frappacino"

"He cheated on you?"

"Could you not say that so loud" Brooklyn whispered,

"Ha-ha sorry, I just find it hard to believe that he'd cheat on you" I said gesturing towards her. "I mean your gorgeous, what more does he want"

Brooklyn quickly took a sip of her coffee to hide her blush “Thanks" she muttered.

I smirked knowingly. I was into her... But going in for the kill (so to speak) so soon after her supposed split wasn't my style.

With Pablo out of the picture, I was gonna have to try a new angle.

Rule# 23 - only in rare circumstances must you try new angles. (For reasons why refer to rule#24)

I was going to make Brooklyn St. Pierre fall for me.
