CHAPTER 3
Kylie Harding
POV
I walk into my apartment; I was late Denny was going to go off on me.
“You’re late!” I hear him scream from my bedroom.
I roll my eyes and head to my bedroom.
“I know, I know I am sorry. I caught up with an old friend I did not realize until it was too late” I apologize
I walk into my bedroom. My clothes are packed and ready to go.
“Thank you…” I say gratefully
If it were not for him, we would probably miss our flight.
I was flying with my Friend Katya. She was a model; I was performing at Denny’s fashion show as a favor, and he would kill me if we missed this flight. The fashion show was tomorrow, and I would be singing in the showstopper that I have not even tried on due to me being too busy.
“Come one let’s go, you have a fitting on the plane.” He says in an overly dramatic tone. He would kill me like slaughter me and still use my body in the fashion show.
I carry my bags out of the room and follow him out
I hope he packed me some sweats in so I can get into something comfy we have an eleven-hour flight ahead of us.
“I love you…” I say following him out
“Of course, you do, doesn’t mean I forgive your late ass.” He says swaying his ass
I roll my eyes and smile.
We walk out and to his private limo. I just think he didn’t feel like driving. Lazy bastard.
I chuck my bags in the boot and get into the car. His busy typing away on his phone. Denny was a brilliant fashion designer. We went to high school together; he knew he wanted to be a fashion designer before he graduated. He was good at what he did. He had an amazing bod. He looked better than most female models, he had hair longer than mine. His went all the way down to his ass. He had grey eyes like his mother and an amazing, tanned body.
They called him a genius for a reason. He could turn a rag into something fabulous.
He was probably on the phone with his boyfriend Maxwell, Max was a photographer. They met at a shoot Max wouldn’t stop taking pictures of Denny and when Denny confronted him, Max pulled out the worst pick up line if you ask me.
He said he couldn’t stop taking pictures of him because Denny was the most beautiful person, he’s camera had ever taken pictures of.
I smile thinking about how both Denny and I gushed over how amazing he sounded. They have been dating for six years and still going strongly.
Thinking about how I met the only man I have ever loved this morning, I don’t know how I feel about that, Gray has always had my heart, when I saw him with Carryn I was crushed. Him saying she kissed him brings me to shock. I didn’t understand that. How could that be? Had I broken up with him prematurely? Could we have still been together if I hadn’t misjudged what had happened between us?
“What’s going on?” Denny asks
I turn to him; I shake my head. “Nothing just lost in thought” I say softly
“Where’s the latest?” he asks
I look at him in confusion. “The latest what?” I ask him
“The latest boytoy, you have been seen with a new guy why isn’t he with you?” he asks
I don’t say anything. Saying something will make seeing my lost love a big deal and that’s the last thing I want.
I shrug “He bored me half to death he is a reader.” I make an excuse.
I got rid of the coffee shop guy as soon as Gray left me. I couldn’t go home with a guy knowing Gray messed with my brain.
“So, no guy is coming with to Paris?” he asks
I shake my head. “No, just us” I say
“Wait what really?” he asks
I nod.
“Where the f**k is my friend and what have you done with her?” he asks dramatically
I roll my eyes. “I don’t understand what the big deal is” I shrug
The car stops, we get out and walk towards the plane.
“The big deal is I’ve never seen you alone since I met you.” He speaks
“There’s no way that’s true.” I deny
I try to think back to high school. God if I wasn’t drunk, I was high. It was pretty much a blur to me.
“What about the class trip to Greece?” I ask thinking I wasn’t with someone then I remember how fun it was sneaking drinks on the plane
“You remember the Greek God your had s*x with on the trip?” he asks
Emilio right. God that was amazing.
I don’t say anything but get on the plane.
“What’s up bitches!” Katya screams as soon as she sees us.
I give her a big smile walking up to her sitting next to her. “Tell Denny I have been alone; I’ve never needed a guy.” I say with a bright smile
She looks at me and then Denny. She opens her mouth than closes it again.
“Sorry honey but if you’ve ever been without a man I must not have been there.” She says sadly
“What about right now? I don’t have a guy with me in fact I haven’t gotten laid in two weeks” I saw dramatically holding up two fingers
They don’t say anything.
“Come to the back let’s do your fitting so I can fix anything that needs to be fixed on the ride over” he says
I nod getting up. I greet the other models on the flight as well.
They greet back. We go to the bedroom on the plane.
He closes the door.
“Come on get out of that jean and top. Chop Chop” he says clapping his hands
I roll my eyes and get undressed.
He unzips the dress bag and I look at it in awe.
A beautiful dusty blue almost white lace dress, with golden lace long sleeves. The bottom of the dress is golden as well as well as the sweetheart neckline. It’s a ballgown inspired dress. The skirt isn’t as full as a ballgown, but it doesn’t cling to your skin either.
He helps me into the dress. The dress is a bit big at the top area.
He pins it in place where he’ll need to take it in., he checks the length as well. It needs to be taken in as well. He pins at there as well.
“What do you think?” he asks me
I look at myself in the mirror. I tie my hair up and checking the back.
“I like it. I can’t believe I get to perform in this…” I saw in awe.
“Really?” he asks his face lighting up like a Christmas tree.
I nod
“Come on, get out of the dress so I can have it done by tomorrow” he says
I oblige.
“The bag on the bed has your favorite sweats in them okay” he says
I smile. I walk up to him and hug him.
“Thank you love. I love you so so so so so much” I tease him
He rolls his eyes and smiles.
“Go, go you’re keeping me out of work.” He speaks
I quickly get dressed and head out to the room.
I was performing one of my first songs. I wrote this song when Grey and I just broke up.
I plug my earphones in so I could go over it if anything needs to be changed since I’ve changed over the years.
Song name: You broke me
Written by me
{Your goal was achieved
I am broken beyond repair
You broke me
You broke me
Your goal was reached
You said you always be there
To catch me when I fall.
you weren’t there when I fell.
I was a fool to fall for you.
I fell into your trap.
I didn’t understand it then
But I do now.
Your plan was to break,
Well, a job well done to you.
I might be better than I was
Before I met you,
But that doesn’t mean you didn’t break me.
That doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
It doesn’t mean my pillow is dry at night.
You broke me.
You hurt me
You made me cry
I’m better off without you…
But that doesn’t mean my pillow is dry at night.}
I don’t know when I dosed off, but I did.
My phone ringing brought me out of my slumber.
Unknown number when I check my phone
“Hello?” I answer
“Hey.” I hear Gray’s deep gruff voice coming through on the phone.
“Grey?” I ask in shock
“Yes. I missed you” he says softly
“You saw me a few hours ago” I deadpan. It was just a few hours ago, how could he miss me already?
“It was seven hours, forty minutes and thirty-three seconds” he says
Wait it’s that late already? We’re landing soon.
“Grey” I couldn’t help but sigh
“Kylie when can I see you again? Please I need to see you again” he sounds as though he is begging me.
Why did I have to be so weak to his powers. He has such I huge amount of power over me.
“Grey, I don’t know” I say softly
But I knew he knew me; he knew I was caving. I was going to do anything he asked me to do. I was too weak to handle Grey
“Come on Ky. We both adults now. I want to spend time with you. We can get to know each other better” he tries to convince me, if I’m being completely honest, he as convinced me the second I saw him in that coffee shop, the reason I didn’t bring a guy on this trip, the reason I haven’t even thought about picking up another guy.
“Fine…” I sigh heavily so it would seem like it was a tough decision for me.
“When are you free?” he asks me
“I’m on a plane to Paris right now. I’ll be back for my brother’s wedding I’ll see you in a couple of days” I mention
It was true I wouldn’t see him until then and I wasn’t going to invite him to my brother’s wedding I wasn’t dumb. It would give me a chance to breathe as well.
“That’s so long away” he whines like a four-year-old child.
I smile. It reminds me how he would throw a tantrum when I wouldn’t kiss him.
“God you’re worse than a four-year-old” I couldn’t help but say.
Hearing him laugh does things to me. I haven’t felt anything in my heart since being with him.
“You know I’m only this way with you my love” he says and somehow, I know his not lying.
“You’re almost thirty you need to calm the hell down.” I complain
I go on to say something else but then I hear Denny speak. “Kylie, are we going or not?”
I turn to him showing him I’m on the phone. he looks at me funny for a second and then walks away.
“Look Grey I have to go; I’ll call you when I land” I say before he could respond I hung up.
I got up and followed Denny to the back. The dress was nearly done. I fit it on again and it fits me amazingly.
