You Can Call me

11 : "Fame"

We drove out from the restaurant and we were quiet the entire time he was driving his car. My thoughts were simmering through the things that happened at the restaurant a while ago and I still can't believe that this man is insanely huge. The traffic light was on red and we came to a stop. I exhale heavily while I kept my eyes looking out to the window.

"I'm sorry." We unexpectedly said in unison.

We chuckle together too.

I move my head to him. "I'm sorry about Adam."

I exhale. "He's... He can be a bit... He's just a big ass jerk. Like, all the time."

"Yeah, that guy has a huge mouth. Annoying, sometimes."

"Annoying as always."

Dillion grins.

"I didn't know you were a f*****g huge photographer." I snapped. "You're known worldwide. You're a multi-awarded photographer. But I never knew who you really were."

"And I liked it. Because you didn't see me as who I'm known for. You didn't know I was D. Cole. You've been so normal with me and I was enjoying my time with you. To be honest, I was thankful I bumped into you in Gage's private party."

My heart aches hearing Gage's name. I wonder how he is. I wonder if he still thinks of me or do I even cross his mind.

"You were the coolest and most chill girl I've met on that night." He added.

"I spilled your drink on you." I reminded him.

"Worth it." He smirks. "I looked for you everywhere that night, I wanted to see if you've found your friend."

I chuckle.

I flinched when a honk came from the car that was behind us. I laugh softly, "Green light's on." I tell him.

He begins to drive again with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I noticed Adam complimenting about your short hair. What was up with that a while ago? I saw your reaction." He tells me.

I sigh. "He liked me with my long hair so when we broke up I cut it short."

His mouth forms in an o. "Not planning on growing it out again?"

"Not yet. I love my bob cut right now. It goes well with my blond hair."

He smiles. "You look so pretty on it too. Rocking it."

I smile at him. "Thanks. And I have a trivia question for you, did you know I was originally a brunette?"

He looked surprised. "No way?"

"Yes. I was."

"I would love to see you with a long brown hair." He smiles.

I think I'm keeping my hair into a blond.

When we reached back to my apartment, I thanked Dillion a tons for the wonderful dinner that was almost perfect if it wasn't for Adam Stanton that ruined the night. But it was cool, because after that fancy dinner, we went to some mini mart and bought slurpees which gave me brainfreeze all the way home. Dillion was just fun to be with. I know he's super famous with his photography industry, but he doesn't complain on where I take him.

The second I got inside my apartment, I began stripping my clothes off from my body. I walked around naked towards grabbed my huge ass white t-shirt. All of a sudden my phone buzzed on top of my kitchen table. I quickly ran near it and saw a message from EdwardBlack1794. Suddenly a smile begins to creep on my face that I've seen his name on my screen. For some unknown reason even though he bores me with texting sometimes, he makes me smile with one text.

EdwardBlack1794: where's my little cupcake at? Haha. Hi Tate :)

I stare longer at his kik username.

Fuck. I cussed at myself.

How can I be so stupid not to search this username on Twitter? f*****g asshole Tate. You are so so so so dumb. Like, seriously. You could actually know him already if you've searched him on Twitter.

Face palm.

I quickly logged into Twitter and searched for his name over Twitter...

I sigh, no username found.

Sucker.

I stare at my account and came to a realization. Sweet ass, he might actually be searching me on Twitter too, just like what I'm doing right now. That's no fair. He's so secretive and I hate it. I began to change my Twitter username into...

@tattie_tate

I smile at it, "Cute." I commented.

I got back into kik right away once I've seen another message from EdwardBlack1794.

EdwardBlack1794: what did I do for you to seen zone me? :/

I chuckle.

tate_kvngh: sorry. Got something on Twitter :)

Way to start inviting him to follow you on Twitter, Tate. I smile at myself.

EdwardBlack1794: oh, twitter's got loads of s**t happening around so quick. One mouth to another.

tate_kvngh: yeah, it's crazy sometimes.

"Ask me about my Twitter. Come on Edward Black. If that's even your real name." I muffled to myself.

EdwardBlack1794: so, what are you up to cupcake?

I sigh.

tate_kvngh: guess wut happened. Bumped to my ex while I was having dinner with a friend a while ago.

EdwardBlack1794: oh. Really? That's something. what happened next?

tate_kvngh: my friend sassed him out.

I wait for him to reply but it took him ten minutes. He's not responding again, isn't he? Ugh! He seenzoned me!

tate_kvngh: I just remembered, ur from England ryt?

EdwardBlack1794: yes, why?

I gaped, "He was really intentionally not responding back to me. What a wuss."

tate_kvngh: have you seen Gage Stockholm in person???

EdwardBlack1794: a fan of him? I can tell him you said hi :)

tate_kvngh: wow, as if you know him. Dream on, Edward.

EdwardBlack1794: you might not know, he could possibly be me.

tate_kvngh: lol no. That's really the shittiest prank you could ever think about. And I think Gage's got no time for kik. I mean duh he's famous as hell.

EdwardBlack1794: haha, you may never know Tate.

I growl as I type my next message. I really wanna know how he looks like and what's his Twitter account. He interests me so much it's already frustrating and annoying the f**k out of me too.

tate_kvngh: you got Twitter?

I can't help it anymore. I nervously bite my lower lip while he was typing his message for me. I waited for him to reply.

EdwardBlack1794: yes.

He took that long to actually send me a message with just one word?! You're so boring dude. So f*****g boring. But you still entertain me and how is that possible that you interest me so much?

EdwardBlack1794: but my twitter's got loads of none sense in it.

Ask me for my account damn it!

EdwardBlack1794: ttyl when I'm up cupcake. Just got off from work. I promise to talk to you more often. It's my free day tomorrow. x

"Oh fuck." I spat.

I was already growing hatred and anger at this dude for not actually being sensitive enough that I want his Twitter account. I mean why is he so secretive? Why does he always be gone for hours then hits me up when his work is done? Ugh! Edward Black, I hope that's your real name because if it isn't then I'm so gonna get even more pissed at you!

Suddenly my phone lights up again..

EdwardBlack1794: and btw, I would love to follow you on Twitter cupcake but soon :)

I groan.

tate_kvngh: Whyyyy?? Why not now? Why does it have to be soon?? I wanna know how you actually look like :/

EdwardBlack1794: sent a photo

I waited for the photo to successful load up and when it did, I saw a pair of long legs while one foot was over the other. He was obviously on top of a bed wearing a white bathrobe. I grin. 

tate_kvngh: I meant your face Eddie. But nice pair of legs though. You make me actually doubt that you're a man ;)

EdwardBlack1794: Heyyy. I'm straight. I just have deceiving nice legs :)

EdwardBlack1794: and don't call me Eddie. That sounded so awful.

EdwardBlack1794: goodnight little cupcake. This isn't a drill anymore. x

I smile.

tate_kvngh: goodnight Eddie :p

I sigh, "Why are you so mysterious? It's making me more curious about you."

Suddenly my phone got a notification from Twitter. I quickly clicked into my account and was surprised that Dillion was asking me to accept his follow request.

I smile.

@D_LionCole is now following you!

I click onto his accounts and holy cabbage he was 6M followers and 128 following. And I'm one from the 128 people he's following.

Get in there Kavanaugh!

•••••

The following day, I met up with Monique at a coffee shop and told her how I met Dillion Cole and how I had lunch and dinner with him. I was so surprised that she knows him too. She knew he was gorgeously hot and she was right about it. She knows how big he was in just a span on one year and how he quickly topped other well respected photographers. I don’t my know he was this huge if it wasn't for Adam. I talked to her about Adam too and how he ruined the beautiful for me and Dillion.

"Seriously, that man is still so not over you Tate." She tells me.

I nod.

"He only wants you now because you're already getting pretty great with your life. She only wants you back because she realizes what he missed, now that he had set you free." She groans.

"Men. They only want you back when you're doing so f*****g great with moving on about the thought of them." She spits.

"Even if he comes begging me for one more date, I will never ever be the fool girl that he used to know." I rant.

"Attagirl." She smiles. "So, did you have Dillion Cole's number?"

"Yeah. I did. He asked for mine."

She gasped dramatically and smacks my arm while chuckling. "You are one lucky biatch."

I smile. "Hey in my offense, I didn't know he was a super famous photographer."

"Are you f*****g kidding me? He's like known everywhere. I can't believe you don't even know him. You don't read news about new hotshots that's why." She tells me.

"Where'd you met him again?" She asks before taking a sip from her coffee.

"Gage's party a few days ago." I answer.

She spills her coffee from her mouth and looked at me in shock. "That means he must know Gage! Oh my goodness do you know what that means Olivia Tate?" She asks with excitement.

My brows creasing. "What?"

"He must have worked with Silver Spade before! Holy ass you should ask him if he did and tell me all about it." She says so happily.

I sigh. Oh Monique, if you only knew what Gage and I did that night. It would be something you'll definitely be mad or either be proud about.

"Were you listening?" Monique snapped.

I shake my head briefly. "Yeah I was. You were blabbering about Gage Stockholm again."

She giggles. "That's because he's so hot. He gets hotter every time I see pictures of him. And I just can't get enough of Gage, it's crazy. I mean, if I ever get to spend one night with him that would totally be cool. I think I can die happily."

I smile at her. Gage sure is hot. And he does get hotter every time I looked at him that night. He is undeniably a sweet yet naughty gentleman.

She pouts while stirring her drinking straw. "Too bad he's dating a new model this time."

"He's... He's dating someone?" I asked.

She looks back at me. "Yeah."

"Who? What's her name?" I asked right away.

"Why are you asking all of a sudden? You never ask anything related about Gage Stockholm."

"W-well... Can't I get curious about him? I mean he had an A-list of exes. I'm just curious who he's dating now." I say as innocent as possible.

She sighs heavily as if she's totally heartbroken about the fact that Gage is dating someone new.

"The model's name is Nadine Leopold." She answers sadly. "She's a super stunning and hot as f**k model."

Monique quickly showed me her phone and it was Nadine's IG account. "See? She's so hot and I hate it. I hate her. What's in her anyways that she's dating Gage? Ugh, she's just after his fame."

I sigh. "Why does everybody say that?"

She paused and looks at me. "Say what?"

"That. Those exact words. That she's after his fame. Why does all of his fans say that against any woman they see Gage with?"

"Well, because it's true. They are using Gage so they would get famous too. It's showbiz Tate, what goes on behind camera we don't know. They might told Gage to date this woman because so on and so forth. It's like a give and take relationship Tate. I mean come on, those women would get so intimidated by Gage and they love the attention too. Those bitches."

"It's showbiz, as you say. Their management is the one picking women for Gage so why do you hate those women when they're just doing what those bigger people are telling them to do?" I ask her and she went quiet.

"They still love the attention." She spat.

"Because it's good for their career. And not all women who are around Gage are after his fame Monique. You should remember that." I tell her.

Because when I met him I was definitely not after his fame. He was a very nice man when I met him, quite persistent though but I couldn't take advantage of him. He's very thoughtful and sweet and naughty too. Very naughty I must say.

"Whatever you say Tate. Even if you defend them I still hate those bitches being around Gage. They don't deserve how nice and how a gentlemen Gage is." She spits so angrily.

So Gage's already dating someone. Nadine Leopold huh?
