ten years apart - b.a

-25

emma's cries can be heard from downstairs, brandon looked over at jade.
jade always knew how to soothe emma when she cried.
she ran up the stairs and when she opened the door, emma's eyes were red and tears kept streaming.
"hey, what's wrong." jade sat on emma's bed.
"y-youre gonna turn into my other mommy."
emma could barely say.

"no, i promise you. it's never going to be like that ever."
"you do? you're doing the same thing as her."
jade's heart felt like it was going to break, "just because we have the same job it doesn't mean i'm going to turn into her and hurt our family em."
jade wrapped her arms around emma, as she cried.leaving jade's shirt with tear stains, "cmon you have to get ready for your mom's house."

"i don't like her." she sniffled.
"em, shes still your mom. she made you and no matter what she's still going to love you."
"do you have a mom?" she asked jade.
"yes, she lives in montana. it's a state where i used to live, i visited her not too long ago."
jade held out her hand and emma grabbed it, the two getting her ready to see her mother.

on the car ride to lynn's, emma has fallen asleep.
"no texting and driving sir." jade grabbed brandon's phone out of his hands.
"i was texting lynn."
"i already texted her that we were on her way."
he looked over at jade with a smirk, "my baby is always prepared."

a little smile formed on jade's face as he placed his hand on her thigh, they pulled up to the driveway.
"hey jade." lynn said.
"she's asleep, i can grab her for yo-"
"no don't worry i got this, thank you jade."
lynn smiled.

it was the first time lynn was genuinely nice to her.
"hey, uhm jade. you know you're this months cover." she said, carrying emma in her arms.
her eyes lit up, "what? really?"
lynn showed jade her phone and her jaw dropped, "i haven't even-"

"it was my suggestion and they like you a lot jade, you deserve this."
they waved goodbye as brandon pulled out of her driveway.
brandon was silent, he gripped the steering wheel so tight his fist turned white.

                               •        •        •

"what's wrong?" she asked as the two walked to his office.
"nothing." he said quickly.
"hey, somethings wrong and i know it."
their lips connected and brandon pulled jade into his office, pushing her up against the door roughly.
"shit." she said with a smirk.
"yall needa chill." they heard behind them.

they turned around, austin and nick were just sitting on the couch.
brandon turned around, 'what the fuck are you guys doing here?' he mouthed.
jade moved from brandon's grip and walked over to the boys, "hi!"
hugging both of them, "congratulations."
nick said as he hugged her.
"you already know?"
he held up a magazine and there she was on the cover, she jumped up and down. 

"oh my god! i cant believe it! thank you nick!"
she shocked with a hug and the two fell onto the couch.
"you're welcome." he smiled.
"next time check your office before you try to fuck." austin laughed.
brandon scoffed walking over to his desk, locking eyes with jade for a bit.
she mouthed something and brandon smirked, she turned her attention back to austin and nick.

"honestly they should've used my other picture not my lingerie shoot picture."
"how many shoots have you done so far?"
"only two, i was supposed to do a third the same day but brandon came and i wanted to go home." she chuckled.
jade rested her arm on nick as they looked through the magazine.
"there's another page with you on it, actually two pages."

jade looked closely at them and smiled, she couldn't believe it was her.
"let me see." austin snatched the magazine out of their hands.
"can you guys get out please." brandon said from his desk.

the boys nodded and hugged jade goodbye, she walked over to brandon and moped.
"they're my friends too."
"i don't like those pictures everywhere, they're just looking at you like that."
jade sat on his lap, kissing his cheek.
"remember what we talked about, i'm yours. nobody else's and it's going to stay like that."
their lips interlocked and jade unbottoned the buttons of brandon's shirt.

he grabbed her hands, moving his lips to her neck. leaving little love bites, "brandon stop it."
"i don't like this, we always get this close and something interrupts it."
"i'm not doing it in your office." she got up off of his lap, looking at the magazine again.
