As Serena enjoyed the warm water cascading over her, she couldn't help but think about the conversation with Melvin earlier. It had been a bit unexpected, and she was pleased with how they'd reconnected.

Stepping out of the shower, Serena wrapped herself in a towel and padded back into her closet. Her phone buzzed with a message notification. It was Sarah. She didn't want to bother herself with anything about work at the moment.

Serena couldn't help but wonder how she would cope with the upcoming weeks without her frequent interactions with Jaxon. He had become an integral part of her life, and the connection between them was undeniable.

As the evening wore on, Serena got dressed in comfortable nightwear, ready to unwind after a long day at work. She entered the room, where Hadley was engrossed in a movie on a laptop.

"Hey, mind if I join you?" Serena asked, collapsing on the couch next to Hadley.

Hadley glanced at her, then scooted over to make room. "Not at all. What's on your mind?

    Serena didn't need to look at the manager to be able to feel how disappointed she was. A few attendants had scurried with Rylee to clean the mess.The manager called Serena and Phoebe aside to a corner of the room. “Look, this wasn't my fault in any way, I…” Phoebe began but the manager held up her hand, making her stop immediately.“I don't want to hear a word of it, you were clearly in her way ..and,” the manager clenched her fists, released them and threw them in the air before dropping them down with a sigh.“Who's supposed to begin the interview?” She asked both of them.Phoebe moved her head towards Serena’s direction indicating that she was the one. Serena had found a spot to focus on on the manager’s blouse. Her chest heaved rapidly, then slowly and she fought the emotions building up in her at that moment.She was supposed to enjoy her work, she wouldn't let Phoebe ruin her day for her.“That would be me,” her lips barely moved, but the manager seemed to care less.“I don't

    Rylee knew how to do her thing, Serena had to admit; she slayed. She knew how to grab eyes, her presence brought attention. The attendants passed the hall more times than they were supposed to until Noah shut the door when someone almost tripped over a cable wire.Phoebe had conducted the rest of the interview. They had laughed a lot of times and Serena hoped it was a sign that they were getting good stuff to put in the magazine. The credit would go to Phoebe of course, but it was teamwork and Serena was part of the team.The other models were graceful as well, but it was evident that Rylee had stolen the show, they'd focused on her more. They had to go on a break earlier than usual, thanks to Rykee who had complained that she was exhausted. She asked for her escorts to be brought into the room and then she made phone calls here and there. Serena watched from where she sat as she opened her phone to text Hadley and then eventually scroll away on Instagram. Not long after her escort

    Serena approached Rylee, who was now flipping through some fashion magazines while sipping on a cup of coffee. The room buzzed with the anticipation of the next photo shoot."Miss Cress, your attention is needed," Henry repeated, gesturing towards the setup. Rylee looked up from the magazine, her gaze meeting Serena's."Serena, right?" Rylee smiled, her eyes glinting with a mix of professionalism and warmth."Yes, that's me," Serena replied, adjusting her jotter. Rylee gave her that scrutinizing look that Serena hated so much, if she was looking for someone to chat with, she could always call her Phoebe. She wasn't having fun with her messing around with her like this."I wanted to check in before we proceed. How are you feeling about the shoot so far?" Serena asked before Rylee could say whatever was on her mind.Rylee leaned back, crossing her legs gracefully. "It's been good, a bit hectic, but that's the nature of this industry, isn't it?"Serena nodded in agreement. "Absolutely.

    “I don't know if she's met me somewhere else before, I totally did not understand the kind of attitude she was projecting towards me,” two glasses of wine later, Serena threw up all that happened on the shoot day at work to Hadley. She was in a pink and white striped button down pajamas shirt and white cotton shorts. Her feet were covered in pink socks that had white medium-sized polka dots. She felt like a cute Barbie, the colors helped her calm down.“I think it's the Phoebe girl, she probably told her something bad about you just so she could met out her frustration on you.” Hadley pointed out.She was on the settee, while Serena was on the bed. “That girl is just a bitch and I don't look forward to working with her, ever,” Serena said with another swig of wine down her throat.“She's just jealous of you,” Hadley said as she sat up and walked to the bed where Serena sat down. “You really look tired, you've had enough wine. Hadley took the wine glass from her and switched on the d

    “Have you been checking for me? I didn't know you'd miss me this much,” Noah's voice had laughter clinging to the end of every word.Serena rolled her eyes, she knew he was going to take it up from there. “There’s obviously no way I'd go around looking for you when I know you can't be here.”“I'll be coming next week. I miss you too,” there was an extra calmness with which he had said it, like a reassuring one that felt deep. She didn't miss him that much, she missed working with him, the company he provided, but she didn't miss his person; like the way she missed Jaxon.She had not heard from him and she did not reach out to him as well. She had started rethinking, why would she agree to someone ghosting her. That was exactly what she did. He had said he wouldn't be available, and he would be away without giving her a call. Not even once, and she stupidly agreed to that.She wasn't even in a relationship with him, that was the craziest part. She had no right to scold him for behavin

    “What does a club have to do with anything?” Serena's eyes widened in bewilderment.“You just wait and see, you're going to have the time of your life,” Sarah gave her a mischievous look.Serena was curious so she agreed to go. They both walked back to the office together. Serena listened to Sarah as she whined about some of her club escapades.After work, Serena closed her laptop, her heart expectant and her body giddy. Sarah made jokes about it as they went down in the elevator.“Are we going to the club looks liking this?” Serena realized they'd be out of place if they went to a club in their office clothes.“I know a thrift shop,” Sarah grinned and jumped in excitement as they got off the elevator. She always had a solution. She was used to this lifestyle.There was an Uber already waiting outside the company's premises. Serena wasn't surprised to find out that Sarah knew him well. “Is he one of your…” she caught herself bef6she could even complete the question.“I might be bisex

    After spending almost thirty minutes dancing around the thrift store in different outfits while Old Jane gave them some amazing moves, they finally walked out of the store in their new outfits. Old Jane had given them discounts for “helping an old lady relieve herself from the burdens of the world”. It was fun for both parties after all. Serena got added to her email list.They had to wait for some minutes because they had ordered an Uber driver late. Serena shook her head, “I'm shaking off the thought of coming here every other weekend to shop and dance.”Sarah laughed, she tucked the strand of her hair that came loose back behind her ears. “This is actually the first time I'm experiencing this. I don't shop from just here, so I guess I come on the wrong days. She's always lively though, God bless her soul.”Serena nodded, yes, God bless her soul.The Uber driver came and they both hopped in immediately. Serena did not know the club they were heading to, but she tried to clear her

    Serena managed to get through the event without feeling intimidated. Jaxon made sure he didn't leave her side for too long. He introduced her to his parents as his girlfriend, he was so proud of it.They had received her warmly, contrary to what she had expected. She was surprised to see his brother, he was calm, handsome and soft spoken. She had imagined him to be a viscous, stubborn, shorter man.He smiled at her when she put her hand forward for a handshake. It wasn't the best of smiles, but for someone who was in some sort of rivalry with his brother who happened to be her boyfriend, he gave her a warm reception.Jaxon's father was just as she imagined, like the clips from the news, he was funny, but he still had that wall around him, like he was a small god and unapproachable. He had complimented her dress and told her he'd heard of her wonders and he was happy to see her.His mother on the hand was the sweetest soul, she hugged her and was surprised to hear the college she gradu

    He had seen her on the dress before but it didn't look as elegant as this, he wiped his face with a handkerchief to be sure he wasn't getting teary. She had curled her hair into magnificent waves that dropped to her shoulders.Her shoulders gleamed under the bright chandelier that hung on the ceilings of the stairs. She flashed her radiant smile at him, his heart melted again. She was wearing the emerald green version of the blue heart necklace which was paired with complementary earrings.It seemed like she was taking forever to come down the stairs. He resisted the urge to meet her where she was and lift her in his arms down the stairs.It felt like prom night again, but with someone he actually loved. She finally met him at the foot of the stairs and placed her manicured hands on his jacket and straightened the collar. They heard a gentle cough from behind and separated. Uncle Jeff came from the living room and handed her her coat. “I expect that you won't catch a cold with him,

    “I'd like for us to have an official date, not just reconciling in the middle of a launch like this, it's so busy around here, but first I'd like to invite you to my inauguration party this weekend” Jaxon leaned in to whisper to Serena.Serena's eyes darted from left to right and she looked up at him. She didn't expect him to say that. “Inauguration party?” “Yes, you know, corporate stuff, I'm sorry it's going to be a lot bigger than this and all of that formal shit, but I'll be by your side. I want you by my side.”“I…I don't know, I'd love to…but,” she began but he hushed her before she made any excuse.“I'm desperate right now to be honest and I can go on my knees for you not to refuse me. Did I forget to tell you or has Hadley told you?”“Told me what?” Serena asked confused.Jaxon’s mood shifted to a more solemn one, “I heard you found out who your…real mum is.” Serena nodded and kept on paying attention to him, the information wasn't something to bother her again. “And she happ

    Serena loved her experience in Florida, the person she had stayed with was the most hospitable person ever. She showed her around herself, she made sure she always had something to eat. She even waited for her at the airport during her arrival in Florida.She took her to the most exciting places, met new sane people. She fell in love with the most mundane things and she had a lot of fun.It was quite sad that everything had to come to an end but she was excited for what was coming. Hadley was going to launch her restaurant in the coming week so she left Florida during the weekend.Uncle Jeff and Aunt Mabel were so happy to see her. They had celebrated New Year without her. She immediately went to Hadley's house to see her, her brother and mum had come to Rhode Island for the launch too.Serena remembered when she used to crush on Hadley's brother. Hadley had been so against it, that they almost fought. He had more tattoos now and Serena already heard he had a girlfriend, so there was

    “Serena, Hadley is here!” Mabel called Serena from the front door. Serena screamed with joy like she'd been for her since forever. She wore her indoor slippers and ran down the stairs.“Oh my God, Hadley,” she hugged her until they both fell on their knees and were lying on the floor of the front door. Mabel looked at the hilarious sight, it felt good to see them like this again. It was like they were sixteen and about to resume high school again.“Come on girls, you're making fools of yourselves in front of the neighbors.”“Hey, the neighbors,” Hadley jumped to her feet and gave Serena a helping hand, “is Gavin still around?” She grinned.Serena tapped he arm lightly, “all you know how to do is ask after your men, you wouldn't ask how I'm doing before you move into your men.” She joked.Serena carried Hadley's small travel bag inside the house. Hadley came behind her and shut the door. She took off her shoes at the small passageway just before she entered the living room. Mabel gave

    Jaxon wondered why she demanded to meet him in person. She'd been trying to contact him for days and the assistant he assigned to her had been bugging him.He finally decided to spare some time for her. He arranged a meeting with her at a cafe close to his office. He made sure it was during busy hours when people would be around in case she wanted to try something funny.She had the effrontery to be late, he kept on checking his wristwatch for the time. He ordered coffee and sipped it bit by bit as he watched the people walking into the cafe through his shades.A few people still managed to recognize him, some of them pointed at him discreetly. It was amusing how he had turned from nobody to somebody and everyone wanted to identify with him. He didn't like having bodyguards around him, so he still had to deal with pushing some people off by himself.Anybody would rush at him, for business proposals, for food, money, assistance. He didn't know how to explain to them that he wasn't a wa

    Serena chose to ignore her presence and sat down beside her Uncle who was seated alone at the breadth of the rectangular table. Aunt Mabel sat opposite her, next to him while Amora sat beside her sister. They were having fried turkey with rice and salad. Serena allowed Aunt Mabel to dish her food and she began eating. She expected them to say something about why this woman was with them. They didn't say anything until they finished eating.The normal tradition was to watch sitcoms together anytime they had a meal at the dinning room. Aunt Mabel would be the first to sit in the sitting room, Serena would join her while Uncle Jeff would come in last.Aunt Mabel always slept halfway into movies, Serena and Jeff would binge watch movies together until Uncle Jeff was tired he'd take her aunt into the room while she either continued watching more shows or she'd retired to her room.That was when they ate together, but on other nights when she had her meal in her room, she'd just watch stu

    Serena began speaking after the waiter left. She had given the restaurant a four star review for both of them.“I know my place, Jaxon. Our worlds are totally different and you have a lot going on. I should be the least of your worries. Whatever you have going on with your brother, you should resolve it. Family is more important, focus on that. You might regret it so much if you lose any of them. It can happen at anytime, any minute, so please, take care of yourself. I'll always remain grateful to you for getting my uncle out and giving us our house back, but you see, it makes us even more indebted to you. I don't think any further affiliation with you would be good.”Jaxon sighed, “I'm not asking you for anything. It's just..”“My uncle still has to work for your company to make sure everything is returned, doesn't he?” Serena asked him, he sighed, they both knew the answer.“It's not like he's working for the replacement of the funds, I'll figure it out, but it's not like you're s

    She wore a teardrop pearl necklace that sitted well on her chest suiting the V-neck blouse she'd chosen to wear her black mini skirt with. It was nothing grand, she reminded herself.She had picked the venue and made sure to come twenty minutes late. She walked into the cafe and didn't have to look around too much to find him. He was punctual, all these things he was doing to repent.He had shades on, but she could tell him apart even if there were several men wearing the same suit he wore. He looked nice in a suit. She laughed in her head, he still became the corporate guy he dreaded so much - because of her, she was reminded by another of her thoughts. Shut Up- she told it back.Lemons - he had started using that bath wash again or he intentionally used it to remind her of the first time she met him. She maintained her stoic expression. He wasn't exactly smiling at her as well, but he looked good, seductive as always in whatever he wore. He would be the center of attraction in his
