Ruining Isobel

Chapter 9: Airport

“b***h! It’s been two years that you were gone!”

I almost laugh at Cherie, she and Elizabeth had been bugging me for months! They said that I have been away for too long. But what can I do? I received a lot of international offers after I accepted a project in ASIA which lasted more than a year and now I am here in Europe for almost 8 months and have never been back in LA nor at my place at Beverly Hills for more than a year.

I celebrated 2 of my birthdays out of the country. Even my parents are begging me to go home.

“You can just simply say that you miss me you know!” I giggled when she snorted.

I am planning to go back home, I think years of working outside of the country is enough for me. I missed my family and friends and I missed Hollywood! So I am going back home no matter what happened!

“I will never do that!”

“Okay, then.. perhaps I can tell Aunt Audrey that I will sign another World Tour Concert-“

“I missed you!” She yelled at me. “I missed you damn much! Happy?!”

I laughed at her and she began to giggle when she realized how funny she delivered it.

We talked about our plans once I get back. I asked her not to tell anyone about my come back because the media might flock to the airport. No one must know that I will be coming home so they will be all surprised to see me! I am excited to see my family’s reaction!

“I can’t believe we are coming home!” Issy said as she packs my things!

“I will miss the English Men!” Trixie said and she giggled as Vera’s eyes turned wide.

“The English men and their sexy accent!” Vera said and we all laugh.

“Well, you guys can stay here for a month more since I am planning to take a one month vacation!” I said but they all shook their heads.

“Nope!” they all said.

“We missed Hollywood!”

“Then, it’s really time for us to go home!” I said and they all proceed in packing while I fixed all the things that I bought here for my family.

Surely, Mom will be delighted when she sees all the limited edition bags I got her, while Cherie and Beth will freak out on the dresses I got for them from the Fashion Week.

“See you soon California!” I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes as I imagine myself back in Cali.

“Oh no..” I stopped on my track when I saw that there are media at the airport. They are flocking on someone. I think there’s another Celebrity at this airport. Silently I pulled my shades down at put my Fedora hat properly in place. I looked down and tried to blend in with the crowd.

My team, spreads out so we won’t attract attention, I even have one personal bodyguard with me but I made sure that he won’t look like one.

“Isn’t that Kirsten?” Vera who’s also wearing sunglasses whispered from behind me but I can totally hear her.

With that, I took a glimpse of where Kirsten is. She is looking better than the last time I saw her, she also looks happy with the attention that she is getting.

I heard that finally she landed some gigs and she finally made a name in the two years that I am gone. So maybe she is right? Somehow I became a hindrance to her?

But was it really my fault?

I am just doing my job.

Because my mind is preoccupied, I bumped into someone that made my sunglasses fall down.

“Sorry..” a girl said.

My head snaps to the girl who looked as if she is in her early teenage years.

“It’s okay..” I smiled at her, too late when I remember that I am trying to conceal my identity.

My bodyguard picked my glasses and gave it to me.

The girl is still in front of me. Her eyes are wide, she looked so shocked.

“Oh my goodness!! Isobel Leigh!!!” She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Oh my golly!!! Isobel Leigh is here!!" she screamed again as she jumped on her feet looking so excited!

“Oh shit.”I heard Vera cursed.

I sighed as Begun to be nervous when people started to look in our way.

“Isobel Leigh?!” I heard people around me asked.

"Yes! It's Isobel Leigh! OMG she's so gorgeous!" 

My bodyguard shielded me from the people who are trying to approach us, as we continued walking. My Glam team also went to us to help my bodyguard from the people who are trying to reach me.

But what’s more bothering is when the Media People heard the commotion. From standing in front of Kirsten, one by one, they run towards me. They took pictures of me and tried to ask me questions and welcomed me.

"Isobel! Isobel! Are you finally back for good this time?" One of the Media man asked.

"How are you doing Isobel? Is it true that you are dating your Co-Model?"

"Isobel! Is it true that a big European Brand is trying to get you as their Ambassador together with their most popular Male Brand Ambassador?"

I gave them only my famous mysterious smile as I tried to look away from the flashes of the camera.

The airport guards saw what's happening and tried to control the people while some airport personnel tried to escort me.

My eyes flew from where Kirsten is standing. She looks shocked and offended, standing alone, with just her manager in the middle of the lobby.

I saw how her eyes turned to slits, her hands turned into a fist as her eyes finally threw daggers on me.

She said something while looking at where I am before she walked away.
