I woke up smiling.The sunlight was streaming in through my window. The curtains where open allowing allmost all the light into my room. Making the crystals hanging from the ceiling above my bed aluminate my bedroom walls in different colours. I stretched my muscles before getting out of bed walking into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth then showered. When I came back into my bedroom I turned on the radio turning it up a little as Ariana Grande's song honeymoon avenue fills up the room. She reminds me of a young Mariah Carey with her wide vocal range.

Opening my closet I pull out a plain white vest and a gray loose shirt with my dark gray jeans. I look under my bed for my black and white vans but then remember their in the bathroom. I closed my closet after giving the black and white summer dress a knowing look."Later." I whispered.

Down stairs I could hear my mom and Noah singing. I walk into the kitchen slowly sneaking up on Noah that was making Michael Jackson moves. His a good dancer like our dad I thought causing a little knob in my throat. I catch moms eyes and I see she had the same thoughts. She was clasping her hand over the necklace that my dad gave her for their anniversary last year.

"Boo mr thriller " i shout grabbing Noah from behind making him squeek before he pouts but continues dancing for moms entertainment.

After breakfast I asked my mom for the car which she didn't mind. Markus was meting me at Joe's like the first time probably because he felt I'll  be more comfortable there. I still had plenty of time before my date with Carson but I was still nervous. But exited too,  guys like him dont just show up here. His not conceited even with his good looks and that makes him even more hotter in my book.

Stopping infront of Joe's I noticed a black mustang. It looked like one of the cars in 'the fast and furious movie.' Wonder who the owner is? Getting out of the car I suddenly felt apprehensive but I shook it of. This is a chance of a life time I reminded myself. Pulling my shades of I strut into Joe's with my head held high.

Markus was waiting at booth at the back. He was frowning down at the laptop infront of him and typing away rapidly. "Your early " he says without even looking up from his laptop when he motions for me to sit. "Early bird i guess." A small chuckle left my lips that for once had a some colour. Not a fan of makeup. Something me and my mom have in common. He signs running his hand through his brown hair then finally closes his notebook.

" Do you have good news for me ?" He asked beaming at me which I cant help returning.

"Yes I talked to my mom and she supports me as long as I finish my education and dont forget about her and Noah when im strutting my stuff on the famous catwalks around the world." I strike a pose and flip my hair playfully. "Definitely cant have that. "He laughs at my antics.

Markus has a huge grin on his face we had gone through some answers and my general knowledge about the fashion industry that I found really useful. But the burning question was still if I wanted to move again?

After we discussed everything about being a model the conversation turned to normal chitchat.We exchanged e-mail and phone numbers. Markus is a really interesting guy not to mention funny a real peoples person. I find myself agreeing to almost everything he says. He had a call from New York that he had to take. Looking out the window my attention caught a familiar black SUV pulling up outside. I didn't have to wait for the occupants to exit the vehicle to know who they were. Carson was the first one out. Making his way inside with long determined strides. Man even his walk is sexy. Once inside his eyes immediatly finds mine. And once again it was hard too look away but even more so too keep eye contact with his perching gaze. Markus ended his call snapping me back. "The ball is on the roll." He grins getting up and shutting his laptop. "Scarlet I just talked to Alex and his really exited about meting you.He really likes what his seen so far. "We can finalize everything tomorrow. Congratulations and welcome to Cassie Models." And bring your mom and brother too dinners on me."I was literally beside myself with excitement. "Wow still cant believe it." I smiled bashingly getting up too. We shook hands and was about too leave, "Markus, what a surprise " Carson's voice washes over me like a title wave. Giving me butterflies on top my excitement. Even though the tone of his voie had an icy edge. Markus stiffened but quickly composed himself putting on a pleasant smile as he prepared to retort. "Carson my man all grown up I see." His voice held no malice or sarcasm. But one look at Carson told me he took offence. We had the attention of his friends now. They obviously knew each other so introductions was pointless. They had a silent stare off when Markus finally turned to me once again. "You I will see you tomorrow and remember your mom and Noah.' He winks. "Sure see you." I released the breath I didn't know I was holding. He was about too turn but Carson was blocking his way. My eyes caught Carson giving him a pleading look. He slowly stepped aside. Markus made his way out of the diner not sparing anyone or anything a second glance. Carson's friends was back to looking at the menus making me sign with relief. "What was that about I asked aloud not really expecting an answer. "And old friend Carson admits with a shrug. I Found it hard to believe if the tense atmosphere before was any indication. "So you want to have lunch " He rises an eyebrow cockily making me momentarily  forget about what just happened. "What about your friends? " I retort while glancing at the guys at table one. Without even looking over his shoulder, "its fine their already ordering." He says nonchalantly. M was writing down their orders when i caught her eyes she was giving us a curious look. I took a seat. Was that worry a saw on M's face besides curiosity? I glanced up just when Jace I think was his name made her blush at something he said. Then I found Carson's penetrating gaze locked with me when i looked up making me gulp and blush im sure. His stare was intense. I dont think I'll ever get over how I feel when his looking at me like that. Just when I was about to say something stupid he broke the silence.

"Scarlet I..." he begins but stops running a hand through his raven black  hair making it dishevelled but it suited him. For a moment he seemed different, unsure unlike this macho confident guy i met yesterday but then he gets this determined glint in his eyes. And it seemed like I might have imagine it. " Im glad I ran into you Scarlet. " He continues dropping his hands on the counter either side of my elbows leaning slightly forward. If it was someone els his close proximity would've annoyed me. But having those dark brown pools focus on me I just drowned. I couldn't help but sense a deeper meaning behind his words. He took a deep breath closing his eyes for a second drawing my attention to his longish dark lashes that would make any girl envious. They seemed very prominent when his eyes where closed 'beautiful ' is the word even though his a guy. But when he opened them my breath caught. I felt a strong pull we were now inches apart "Me too Carson." I found myself confess closing mine as well when his masculine scent washed over me. As soon as his name left my lips our eyes locked again in an intense stare. My heart was beating a mile a minute something was swirling in Carson's eyes or was it my imagination. "Ready to order ?" M interrupted our moment. "What can I get you y'all ?" I almost spilled my pepsi but managed to grab it then realised it was empty. Looking up i gave an ambarrassed laughs. A low growl made me stop only to see Carson giving M and angry stare. M being oblivious was giving us a curious look then when her eyes landed on Carson she smiled nervously showing her pearly whites while giving him guarded look. Carson was clearly annoyed because his jaw was ticking and his lips drawn thin. But I couldn't help but think he looked hot " I'll have a sunrise surprise special please." I was seriously hunger now. "And bring me the same" he finishes. "I'll make it a couples combo." She winks at me. "Anything to drink in the meen time?" We both decided on pepsi to drink. "So where are you guys staying?" I ask tentatively because I was still nervous even though I really wanted to know."The In "he answers smoothly then he gets this poker face before frowning Iike he was thinking about something. "We were actually just passing through but then I got distracted he finished a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, a ghost of a smile. Something told me that he rarely does. "Oh I see ." And I can feel myself blush stupid hormones or should I blame the laws of attraction. But then again there is no denying this guy is very attractive. ""Your not from Newtown..." His words was more like a confirmation than an actual question so I  just gave him a nod. I wasn't really surprised since my accent was pretty obvious apart from the town folk. " No." Great now my mind just froze. But he seems to notice and save me from the awkward silence that is sure to follow. "Blue Mountain is my home loved growing up there." He got this nostalgic look in in eyes proof of a happy childhood. "Never been there but I heard its beautiful. Always wanted to go see wildlife and Mystic Lake." I stopped talking because I thought I was babbling but he was genuinely interested. "You'll love it Scarlet he says looking down at my lips. M makes her appearance with our order." Enjoy." Then she walks away swaying her hips while sending me a wink. Once the smell of the heavenly food hit me I practically moaned making Carson rise a eyebrow before chuckling. From there on lunch was in comfortable silence with idle chitchat we both dug in with the occasional moan of agreement of the fine food.

Unknown to them both someone accross the street was watching them. The man in black pulled out his phone called someone on the third ring they answered. "Is is her?"

"Yes boss there's just a little problem..." The man signs but replies with a droll bored voice. "What kind of problem?"

"Theres a dog with the witch sir."The man laughs then stops abruptly. "Take care of it I dont care."

"As you wish sir." He walks toward the black car with a evil grin.
