Love And Hate A Gideon Cross Love Story

Chapter 15

At around 15:00 pm,  my Realtor called me to let me know that my offer was accepted and we can sign the papers immediately,  I had asked him to bring the papers to my office since I was already there.  He arrived at my office and I asked Kim to buzz him in,  I had read the contractual obligations with my lawyer,  P. Walters. I then signed all the paperwork that was necessary and did a direct payment the same day,  by 16:00 pm , I was the new owner of an amazing apartment in the upper east side of new York.  I felt rather proud of myself. 
I decided to have it furnished immediately and got my interior designer on the phone,  I showed her the pictures I took and told her what I wanted to change and what I wanted to keep,  it wasn't much but it would definitely add more value to the home.  She let me know that it would take 3 days to complete the work, and gave me a quote of three hundred thousand dollars, I confirmed that I would be using her services. She was the best, and I only wanted the best , I mean I wanted to make this home, since  I would be spending more time there.

I checked the time and it was already 18:15 pm and I hadn't eaten anything  yet,  I wasn't hungry  so I decided to just skip eating for now,  I was happy with all that I accomplished.  I then realized  that I hadn't checked my cell  in hours. I reached into my Chanel purse and noticed I had some notifications.
I unlocked it and saw I had 17 missed calls from Gideon and 28 texts from him.  I ignored both since I was clearly avoiding him,  upon resting my phone on my desk,  it vibrated and the caller ID  was none other than Gideon Cross.  I silenced his call and placed my cell back in my purse,  I decided to head out. 
As soon as I stepped out of my office building  I was bombarded by paparazzi,  yelling questions  my way,  making statements  etc.  One asked /yelled  if I was jealous of Corinne.  What the hell?  Me?  Jealous of her? I mean she was stunning yes..  But she wasn't me..  I learnt that from my best friend Annalise, she taught me that I don't need to be insecure over other females,  I just need to remember who I am and that I am worthy..  It's probably the best advice she has ever given me.
Taylor had shielded me from the paparazzi,  allowing me to reach the car safely,  I wasn't ready to go home, so I asked Taylor to drive me to my favorite restaurant, I called one of my closest friends,  Cameron Jean,  I knew she was in town because she had her popup shop here and she was working hard on it.
"Hey babe,  you wanna get something to eat?" I asked enthusiastically enough to hide whatever emotion this situation with Gideon was making me feel.
"Heyyyyyy,  yeah I'm so game,  I haven't  eaten all day,  been so busy with preparing for the store." She practically yawned.
"I feel your pain,  struggle is real,  want me to pick you up?"
"Pleaseeee,  I'm at my hotel."
"On my way."
I instructed Taylor to drive to Cameron's hotel and we picked her up. We spoke the whole way about work and I promised to make an appearance at her popup tomorrow,  by the time we got to the restaurant  we were pretty hungry.
We ordered our food and shared some gossip.
"Sooooo,  I hear you and the sex god are together again." She fished subtly.
"I guess you can say that..  It's just been a struggle..  But let's talk about something else,  I don't want to think about him right now."
"You okay?  You look kinda distraught..  How's it going between you guys?"
"We just started dating and it already feels insane.. I don't know Cammie  it's frustrating to love someone so well known and have the pressure from the media on you 24/7 I wish it could just change."
"Hang in there,  remember you're just as known as he is..  It's bound to be crazy but you guys should lean on each other , because nobody is gonna understand it  better other than the two of you,  because you're going through it together."
"You're  right." I agreed.

We spent the next hour chatting about Cameron's sister's baby shower coming up and how excited we all are. Our night ended at about 20:30 pm and we decided it was time to go home.
Taylor dropped Cameron off and I was heading back to Gideon's,  I guess.
I thought of making a reservation at a hotel and staying there until my place is ready. I was heading to his place to pack a bag and leave.
