My Photographer (Diggy Simmons)

should've kept my big mouth closed

Alexis

As I pulled out of his fathers parking lot I just drove. Diggy was quiet as he looked straight out of the window.

"Diggy where are we going?"

"Keep straight down this road until you get to the second light. After the second light, make a left!" He instructed.

Once I got to the second light I turned to the left. I saw multiple gated communities, buildings mostly. He instructed me to stop at a gate at the end of the block so I did. He than reached over me and typed in the code to the gate and instructed me to park in the back of the building.

Once I parked he just sat there in silence. I was becoming a bit uncomfortable so I spoke.

"Um where are we?" I said looking around at the perfect landscaping that surrounded the building. It looked as though it could have been an expensive hotel.

"Come on" was all he said before getting out. He swiftly walked over to my door opening it for me and closing it after me. For him to be such a jerk he had a little manners.

I followed closely behind him as we walked inside the double doors leading us to an elevator. He pressed the button and the doors opened. We got on and he pressed the number 10 button. We rode in silence.

Once we made it on the tenth floor we walked three doors down and the letters on the door said 10C. I watched as he shuffled for his keys.

"Diggy, where are we?" I asked once again as I looked down the hall.

"My place" he said after opening the door. He let me in first as he closed and locked the door behind himself.

I looked around as he left me standing in between the kitchen and living room. His apartment had a huge open floor plan. Windows everywhere exposed pipes on the ceilings and somewhat on the walls. He had a brick fireplace with a huge black leather couch sectional. His apartment was kind of retro in a way but homey at the same time.

"Which one!?" I heard him ask snatching me put of my train of thought.

"Excuse me?" I asked as I turned around. I was a bit taken back. He had his shirt off with his jeans unbuckled as his V-Line showed. My eyes wandered and it was obvious of what I was looking at.

"Alexi which one!?" He repeated. I looked up at the clothes he had in both hands.

"Hmm i like them both but get the suit, it'll cover up those scratches" i said pointing at it. He said nothing he just walked back to the back. I took a seat on one of his stools that sat by the window as I waited. After twenty minutes of waiting i grew impatient. I walked to the back and into a bedroom, a huge bedroom. I saw the bathroom door half open so I walked in.

"Are you... ok?" I said softening my tone as he sat on the toilet with his head in his hands wearing only his shoes and pants.

"I'll be out in a minute " he said dryly. I could tell that, that was going to be a lie.
"I can't tell, stand up" I said grabbing his arm he stood up after pouting.

I looked at him in the mirror.

"Do you have any rubbing alcohol?"

He pointed to the drawer by the door. I went in it and grabbed it along with some neosporin and bandages I spotted.

"Turn towards me!" He turned facing me as he looked straight. I must admit his body was beautiful and he smelled good.

"Now this is going to sting a little which you should already know but this has to be cleaned or it'll get infected." I poured the alcohol on a towel and dabbed his neck and jaw over and over. I then took the neosporin and rubbed it over the wound and put the bandages on him.

"There you go." I said as I finished.

"Thanks" he said still standing in one spot there was this awkward silence once again.

"Ok, you can put your shirt on now, and make sure you button it all the way up just to hide the bandage on your neck. If anybody ask about the collar, you cut yourself while shaving" i said before walking out. I sat back in the stool and within five minutes he was ready. "Wow you clean up nice" I joked as he walked to the door he gave me a blank stare as he opened the door letting me out then locking it behind him.

"So, what happened? If you don't mind me asking." I said as I pulled off.

"You ever been cheated on so many times and you just couldn't take it anymore knowing you were so good,loyal,honest and faithful to that person then one day you just had enough and said screw it!?"

"Honestly... no, I don't!" I said now mad that I even asked the question.

"So you wouldn't understand" he said a he stared out the passenger window. The rest of the ride was very quiet. He didn't say anything and neither did I. I should have just kept my BIG mouth closed! :-\
