Hollow

Forty Two | Nerves

I stand from my chair on the vanity and turn to find Killian laying on the now made bed, eyes glued to the TV screen in front of him. He looks at my attire and a smirk appears at the corners of his mouth.

"At this point, you should just sign with IMG ."

I wink as I stroll to my closet. I go through the dresses my stylist sent over, trying to find what to wear to the launch party. I make a mental note to tell her to send more outfits as I continue to search through the racks, shuffling one after another.

"Do you need help?"

I look over my shoulder to see Killian standing right behind me. I shake my head no and he narrows his eyes, strolling toward me before coming to stand in front of me, our faces nearly inches away.

I let out a breath of defeat and point at the looks I have to go through. "I won't go anywhere if I don't find what to wear."

Killian leans in and places feather kiss on my forehead before walking past me. He starts to look through the rack then he pulls out a white dress, holding it up to my body before shaking his head and putting back. He does this a few times and each time, I can't help but laugh at how motivated he is.

<<·>> <<·>> <<·>> 

I walk down the steps and see Killian leaning against his car. I start making my way towards it with several thoughts running through my mind.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes." He states, his face beaming with pride as he looks at it. I nod excitedly and open the door to the driver's side, getting in but before I even close the door, Killian holds it, stopping me.

"Please!" I pout innocently, ignoring his silent request to exit the car.

"I've seen the way you drive and I don't want to risk you crushing it."

"Please, please, pleaseee!" I plead with the cutest face I can possibly master.

"Don't give me that look."

"There's no look."

"You're doing it right now."

"But I d—" He cuts me off by gently dragging me out of the car.

I sigh and walk to the passenger's side with him following closely behind. He opens the door for me and I settle inside, getting comfortable in the seat as I watch him walk around to the driver's side. The engine roars to life seconds later and we take off. I feel Killian's fingers brush along my jaw, turning my chin gently and causing me to look at him as he drives. I turn my head to stare out the window, sulking with my arms crossed.

"Later." Killian says, slowly eyeing me from the side. I quickly turn to face him.

"You're seriously letting me drive?" I ask excitedly.

"I'll let you drive on the way back." He replies before averting his gaze back to the road. He makes a turn and joins the highway when the music from the sound system is interrupted by a call. He reaches for his phone and accepts the call, not averting his gaze from the road.

"Hey." A voice I recognize as his manager's rings through the speakers.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Vienna and some other people are coming to your house for your fitting. Por el amor de Dios, compórtate!"

"Your faith in me is astounding amigo." Killian laughs earning a nudge from me.

"I love you too." Robyn replies sarcastically. "Anyways, be safe. I'll see you soon."
