Arranged / Nick Mara

Chapter Twenty / "Whore"

Kiley's POV

I sighed as I got ready to go home from a shoot. I missed a few shoots over the past couple months and Hayley was getting extremely mad at me. She didn't care that I was hurting because "work is still work".

I called an uber and gave it the address to my place. I wanted to change and shower before I went out. The uber stopped in front of my home and I thanked him before walking up to the door. I made my way to my bathroom and quickly showered and shaved. I stepped out and decided to wear some jeans, a white crop top, and a fuzzy cheetah jacket.

My phone rang across the room and I saw Nick's face on the screen.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey baby girl, you ready?" He asked and I looked in the mirror one last time.

"Yes sir." I said.

"Okay I'm on my way," He said. "I love you."

"I love you baby." I said and hung up.

I made my way downstairs, wondering where Genny and Ila were. Probably with the boys.

I walked out of my door to see Nick's car. He looked fine as hell, as usual. I knocked on the window for him to unlock the door and right when he saw me his face lit up.

"Hey Kiley." Nick said softly as I got in the car.

"Hey Nick." I said back with a small smile. He motioned for me to come closer and I did. He slowly planted his lips on mine and I smiled into the kiss.

"How are you?" He asked as he pulled away and sat back into his seat.

"I'm good. Tired." I said and settled into my seat and buckled myself in.

"Hey I have a question for you." Nick said and found my hand to hold.

"Ask away." I said and watched him drive.

"I want to meet your family." He said shyly and I smiled.

"I want you to meet them too." I said and he grinned.

"For real?" He asked excitedly and I laughed at his adorableness.

"Yes for real you dork." I said and squeezed his hand.

"You think they would be cool with meeting me?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"They would love to meet you." I said and he pulled into the parking lot of the Starbucks.

"So like... when can we do that?" he asked and I shrugged.

"You can come home for Thanksgiving with me?" I asked and he smiled and nodded.

"I would love that." He said and pecked my lips before we got out of the car.

As expected, paparazzi was everywhere.

"Kiley! Did you actually cheat on Nick?"

"Nick how can you stay with someone who betrayed you in such a way?"

"Kiley how can you live with yourself knowing you broke Nick's heart?"

Nick and I just walked past them with our heads down until we made it into the small cafe.

"I should go say something." I said and Nick raised his eyebrows at me.

"What?" He said and before he could stop me, I walked back outside to all the paps.

"Kiley!" They all shouted.

"I will only speak if you all shut the fuck up." I said and they complied. I heard the door open behind me and knew it was Nick.

"Okay first of all, I did not cheat on Nick. Those photos were just one big misunderstanding." I attempt to explain.

"But you literally kissed that guy." Someone said and I took a deep breath.

"That's not true. The story is none of your business but I did not kiss that guy. So please stop asking about it." I said and one of the paps came close to me.

"You're just a cheater, that's all anyone is ever going to know you as. Whore." he said and I stood there dumbfounded.

The fuck?!?

"Um, what the hell man? Don't talk to her that way." Nick intervened and I could see he was getting angry.

"What are you gonna do about it?" The guy urged, obviously trying to get a negative reaction to post all over the internet.

"I'll fuck you up don't think I won't-"

"Nick stop. Let's go." I said and grabbed his hand. He looked down at me and saw the silent plead in my eyes. He nodded and we weaved our way back to the car and quickly drove away without a word.

"What even was that? That was so weird." Nick said and I shook my head.

"He's right." I said and Nick whipped his head at me and then back at the road.

"What?" He said and I sighed.

"All anyone is ever going to see me as from now on is a cheater and a whore." I said and closed my eyes. Nick suddenly pulled the car over.

"What are you doing?" I asked but he didn't answer me.

"Look at me." He said and I turned my head to look at him. "Never say that about yourself. You know the truth and you know what happened. You are not a whore Kiley. You literally were assaulted. Kiley please never say that about yourself or believe that people see you like that."

"Nick... I want to go home." I said and he looked at me.

"We're on our way home right now baby-"

"No. Like home home." I said and he grabbed my hand.

"Let's go home."
