Everything at Once -- (Animal Kingdom -- Craig/OC)

Chapter 16

I had left Craig at the bar that night to hang out with Deran when I had left early. Waking up without Craig felt unbelievably weird, mainly since the only place he would be right now is his old place. I headed to the living room after shower and changing into some shorts and a tank to grab some orange juice and a muffin before planting myself on the couch with my laptop. I began checking my work and personal emails before I would head out to look for Craig and Deran to hear more about this Yacht job they wanted to plan out.

CAT READ THIS CALL ME -Marcel

I opened the first from from Marcel concerned it had something to do with the agency. Boy would I be wrong, and it wouldn't be something Craig or Smurf and the boys would like.

Kitty-Cat,

So, I have been on the phone with agencies all day pining to get you into the magazines and on their runways. Now I know you've been focused on being engaged (Congrats by the way, his brothers a sexy bad boy) however we hit the jackpot. Jan Singer wants to meet you to possibly have you join with their line and become an Angel. Victoria Secret, Cat. This is what we have been working towards all this time.

I sat there staring at the screen, I should have been far more excited than I was. He was right this was something we had been working towards. This was what I wanted this entire time, I wanted to progress myself though it would take me away from Craig, it would take me to Ohio for a while, before New York or L.A would be my home city, which L.A would only really be an hour or two drive away.

New York however was, much father.

I stood up shutting my laptop before tossing my phone into my purse and put all the food away as I grabbed my house keys and heading down to my car. I had to find, Craig and if not Craig then Smurf. I began to head towards Craig's old apartment, quickly parking in the sketchy lot and walking up towards his his unit. I started knocking on the door hard, I could hear him calling something groggily as he fumbled down one of the halls towards the door.

"Babe?" He said his voice filled with surprise as he opened the door. "Are you alone?" I asked him as he shut the door behind me. "Besides this wicked hangover yes. Come lay in bed with me?" He asked me with a grin.

"After we talk." I told him as I sat on the couch, noticing the joke, cigarettes and joint buts all over the table. "Yea, Deran and I came back here with a few people last night. Booted them out around two?" He told me, "I think he went surfing, had to the trucks still out there-" I cleared my throat stopping him.

"Remember how I told you I wanted to become an Angel?" I questioned him as he nodded. "Yea, Victoria Secret, sexy lingerie. Why?"

"The C.E.O wants to meet with me, in Ohio. To talk the possibility of me signing on with them." I told him my voice still sullen. "You sound sad, that's great news isn't it? I mean minus us having to go to Ohio for a few days." He laughed softly sitting next to me.
