TRAPPED | Trent Alexander Arnold

Chapter 5 - a world of pain

Kylie

I can only remember one time in my life where I experienced this much shock. Well, not really shock, more of surprise. Because this was the last thing I would ever think of expecting. I did not see it coming.

At all!

He just stood there, frozen like a snowman as he stared holes into me with his mouth slightly opened and eyes dilated to the highest point. While Nathan was getting the stage and crew ready, Trent and I kept our eyes locked. And as much as my heart is filled with nothing but anger and disappointment in this man, that wasn't enough to distract me from his attractiveness. His hair's longer, his arms look musclier, his skin looks lighter and he's much taller. He looks dashing in the simple plain black T-shirt and ripped skinny jeans with curly hair and high top sneakers, enough to make ruby and the other ladies in the studio go crazy.

As for me, I was thinking about how foolish it was of him to pair a Nike shirt with adidas sneakers. This just shows you how much he has a problem with commitment. He can't even be loyal to one brand SMH 🤦‍♀️

"Kylie?" He quietly said.

More anger boiled up inside me as my name rolled off his tongue, but, I'm not that type. I'm not the 'start crying or going crazy because you've seen your very manipulative and selfish ex boyfriend who played you like a game of monopoly' type. No! I'm the 'burn your ex with cold water' type. I lay low, i play it cool. I kill with looks and words, not actions.

"Trent Alexander Arnold" I replied stiffly with a wicked smirk across my face as I eyed him consistently "nice to meet you" I Said as I extended my hand for a handshake.

He was completely shaken by my reaction, I'm sure he expected me to be all cold and sad and probably run out of the building at his sight. Lmao sorry this ain't the movies, so get the fuck outta here with that attitude. business school has thought me a lot of things. Things Like how to be a boss in and out of the office. Being a baddie is now a part of my soul, and to be honest with y'all, I love it 😏

"N-nice to meet you too" he managed to say after a couple of seconds as he shook my hand.

I'm gonna be washing that hand for the next three business days with liquid soap and all kinds of detergent powders.

"I'm-"

I cut him off immediately "the photoshoot is about to start"

I didn't even spare him a glance, I just started walking away after the words rolled off my tongue with ruby right behind me.

I was taken into hair and makeup instantly. I was made to wear a black wig that was nicely done into a sleek high curly ponytail, perfect for the white Versace pantsuit I changed into. My makeup was pretty much simple too, black Smokey eyes, nude lipstick, winged eyeliner and long eyelashes, a true definition of effortless glam. I don't know if it's the makeup artist who's so good or if I'm just too gorgeous.

Yeah, definitely the second option 😉

"Kylie, over here please, we're about to start!" Nathan called out to me to get on stage, where the asshole already was. I simply nodded and did as I was told with a straight face on.

I could literally feel his eyes boring holes into my skin as I joined him on stage, I wanted nothing more than to pluck those eyes out of their sockets just to have him stop staring at me, but I know I can't, and that sucks. I just can't wait for the freaking photoshoot to be over so that I can get away from this....this monster in human form.
