It's been two whole months since me and Jack's breakup. I haven't spoken to Dominic since that one day he was at my house. I was determined to prove Jack wrong that I didn't need a man.
I'm a very strong and independent woman. Why would I need a man to do all the things that I can do for myself ??
I mean, aside from sexual things.
"Good morning Jaide." My new boss, Mikaela smiled at me as I entered the beach house for today's photo shoot. Apparently, Mayra gave my name to a few of her friends and ever since, I've been landing modeling jobs left and right.
"Morning" I smile at her and head to my dressing room. I put on the red bikini and strut my way to hair and makeup.
After I'm done, I make my way down to the beach and am instantly instructed on what to do.

(Seriously tho why can't I be her😭)
"These are great Jaide!! Go ahead and take 5!" The photographer smiles at me and I smile back. I watch my feet sink into the wet sand as I walk up the beach. A piece of my hair falls into my face and I tuck it behind my ear just as someone clears their throat. I look up and am instantly met with the dark brown eyes that I've avoided.
"What are you doing here?" I ask monotone.
He shrugs. "Holiday issue is done. Got offered a job here and I took it."
"You took a job here??" I ask surprised and kind of pissed. He nods and I begin to storm off.
"Where are you going?" He asks and I hear him following me.
"To tell the boss you quit" I bitterly chuckle at him. I'm harshly gripped by the wrist and spun around to face his stupid but hot face.
"Look Jaide, that was wrong of me , ok?" He looks into my eyes and I glare at him and yank my wrist away.
"No shit." I say and continue walking away.
"Wait- I'm sorry Jaide. First I didn't let you explain, then I got you fired. It just hurt me a lot to see you with Dominic." He says and I turn around.
"Is that your excuse? Oh please. He gave me the same one for why he cheated. 'I didn't like seeing you with Jack'" I mock Dominic's words and roll my eyes.
"You really did only hear him out huh.." jack says barely above a whisper.
"Yeah I did. I mean after we broke up we almost kissed but your words really got to me. I cut both of you off that day and it's been great living without a man." I say sarcastically and he scoffs.
"I didn't even mean that! We all say fucked up shit when we're mad! You said you hated me!" He yells and I look down. Okay, maybe that was a lie... should I really let him know that though?
"Look Jaide, I miss you. I can't live with myself knowing that I let someone as amazing as you get away. I love you baby... but if you can look me in the eyes and tell me that you really do hate me, I'll leave you alone. For good." He finishes and my heart beat increases. Wouldn't giving in tell him that I do need a man?? No.. right? He's gonna use this against me.
I don't need a fucking man in my life. I'm perfectly fine without one...
"I hate you." I say trying to make myself sound confident. I guess it worked because Jack's shoulders immediately dropped and his eyes showed nothing but hurt and disappointment.
Tell him you love him Jaide.. fucking tell him..
"that's all I needed to hear." He says before turning away and speed walking.
