One More Chance. Chapter sixteen.
Pulling up in her driveway, Cassandra met Eloise at her door. Eloise looked horrible; she had dark circles under puffy, bloodshot eyes, and she was white as a ghost. Cassandra knew something must be wrong seeing her usually upbeat friend in this condition.Eloise sulked into the house and immediately threw her arms around Cassandra's neck, and burst into tears, sobbing into her shoulder."Ellie, everything's going to be okay. Just tell me what happened."Cassandra led her into the living room, where they both settled down on the two-seater couch. It took a few minutes for Eloise to catch her breath, and quiet herself down just enough to get a few words out."Nic- Nicholas, lef..lef..left me." she stuttered through her sobs."Wait, what?""My husband walked away, Cassie!""Oh my gosh, Ellie! Why? When? What happened?"Cassandra was stunned by the words she was hearing. Despite their issues, Eloise and Nicholas were always so solid."He, he left me be-because I, I wouldn't give him a ch

"And that's the whole story," said Eloise sadly. "I'm going to have a baby, and my husband has left me."Cassandra sat in disbelief at the story Eloise had just told her. She was appalled that Nicholas would just up and leave his wife of nine years. And with a note? What a coward!Cassandra put into words what she had been thinking since Eloise had arrived and told her the news, "Elle, have you thought about calling Nicholas and telling him that you need to talk; that the conversation is super urgent?""I don't want him to come back just because of the baby, Cass. I want him to be here because he loves me, baby or not. I know I was getting frustrated with him and said I was tired of it all, but I honestly didn't mean it. I would have never left."Cassandra reached over and hugged her friend. "It's going to be okay, Elle. I'm here for you. It'll all work out in the end, I promise."Cassandra wished she hadn't made such an empty promise to her friend. She didn't know if things would eve

"Wait, what are you even doing here? Don't you have a show to do tonight?" Cassandra's voice was hoarse and shaky, and she could feel her balled-up fists growing clammy. Her nerves were getting the best of her right now, and she had to try and remain calm; no tears! Jason was standing so close to Cassandra that she caught a whiff of the clean-smelling cologne that he always wore, and it sent her emotions into overdrive. She could feel the raw attraction between them that was always there since day one. She couldn't deny that physical connection, and it took all the willpower she could muster not to throw her arms around him and tell her how sorry she was for leaving. "I came here to see you, Cassandra! To find out why you left me last night with no word, no note, no nothing! "You wouldn't even return my calls or texts. Then next thing you know, I pull up and find your so-called ex at your house yet again, kissing you! What exactly is going on, Cassandra?" Jason's words were hurtful, a

Jason lightly caressed her cheek with the back of his hand and moved it down her neck, settling at the mounds of her firm breasts.Cassandra's skin felt so warm and silky; he wanted to take in all of this beauty that was lying so close to him. He unbuttoned her shirt ever so slowly, taking the time to drop soft kisses on the flushed skin underneath.Cassandra's breath came fast as she craved more of his touch and let out a tiny gasp of pleasure. Jason removed Cassandra's blouse and tossed it to the floor. He found the clasp of her bra and delicately slid it down off her shoulders, exposing her naked breasts.His hands explored Cassandra's body and found her tiny pink nipples, taught with excitement. He ran his tongue ever so lightly across one, and Cassandra arched her back toward him, wanting to feel herself fully in his mouth.The warm wetness of his tongue and hot breath on her bare skin made Cassandra long to feel the fullness of him between her thighs. Cassandra feverishly tugged

They arrived at the airport where Jason's private jet was fueled up, waiting for them to board. The crew was friendly and polite and treated her with just as much respect as they did their famous boss. The flight was only about an hour-long, and when they landed at the airport, Charles was there in the shiny black SUV, waiting to take them to the venue. They pulled up to the concert hall, and Cassandra noticed the same familiar hordes of fans lined up outside the entrance doors waiting to get inside to see the show. She sat there and remembered just a few nights ago being simply a random face among that same type of crowd. Charles pulled up to a back entrance eerily similar to the venue Cassandra was at, just the night before when everything went awry. Jason helped Cassandra out of the truck and led her through a heavy steel door inside the building. They walked through the hustle and bustle of the many crew members that were getting everything ready for the show. Jason had missed sou

Cassandra turned to face him, "Jason, these past few days have been the best of my life. I can't thank you enough for making them so special."She lifted her face to his, and the moment their gaze met, his eyes blazed with heated passion. Jason grabbed her face and crushed his lips on hers, feeling her tongue twirl around his in a fiery response.He pulled Cassandra's shirt off and tossed it to the floor beside them, and then slipped her bra strap down off her shoulder and ran his tongue across her silken skin.Cassandra's hands traveled down his toned midsection and made their way to his firm backside pulling him into her. She shimmied his jeans down over his hips and let them fall to the floor.Jason stepped out of them and slowly guided her towards the bedroom of the large suite. While Cassandra stood in front of him, Jason pulled his shirt off and then sat down on the satin bedsheets.Cassandra loosened the button on her jeans and peeled them down seductively giving him his privat

Cassandra hailed a cab and headed to the airport. She was hoping she would be lucky enough to catch an immediate flight out and not have to wait until morning.She couldn't stand the thought of Eloise all alone in that cold hospital waiting room with no one there to support her.When Cassandra arrived at the airport, she was happy to find there was a flight heading back home within the next forty-five minutes. If all went as planned, Cassandra should arrive at the hospital in just a couple of hours.She was tempted to call Nicholas herself to tell him what was going on but she knew Eloise would have her head and she wanted to respect her friend's wishes.Cassandra just wished Eloise wasn't so stubborn sometimes. Once she boarded the plane and settled in her seat, she remembered she still had the card from Jason that she had neglected to read.She removed it from her purse and gazed at it lovingly for a few moments before opening it. Jason could be so sweet and thoughtful, and her hear

Cassandra arrived home shortly afternoon, and all she wanted to do was throw on some comfy clothes and crawl into bed for the rest of the day. Cassandra had upset her best friend to the point of her asking her to leave, and she missed Jason terribly and hadn't heard from him. The past several days had been such a roller coaster of emotions. Feeling mentally drained, Cassandra slept for a good portion of the afternoon and well into the evening hours. She awoke to a dark and quiet house feeling more alone than she ever had before. Hoping she would see that she had voice mails or text messages from Jason and Eloise, Cassandra immediately grabbed her phone off the nightstand. She anxiously flipped through her phone...nothing from either one. Cassandra felt wretched for the way she left things with Eloise at the hospital, and she was having doubts about the way she handled leaving Jason without saying goodbye, yet again. She was starting to worry that maybe he hadn't gotten the note. On th

Cassie, I have to call the hotel to check out . Nicholas will get our luggages from the hotel later,' Eloise said, still busy packing.' Ohhh , that great ' Cassandra remembered everything that happened to her , she probably hates Eloise for trying to hide everything from her . She badly wants to ask Eloise why but right now is not the best time , she has to remain calm so she can finally leave this place .

Cassandra clenched her stomach. ' Gosh I'm so hungry' just then Ellie walked in with a bag of food in her hands ' Thanks goodness ' Cassandra said Eloise handed her the bag , she was ready to devour the food . She has been unconscious for five days and if her quests was right, she haven't had anything in her stomach for five consecutive days.

Cassandra gently stroked Eloise hair, she felt so weak and her call for Ellie could not be heard . Ellie tossed her head to the other side still sleeping, it dawned to Cassie that the unfamiliar room was the hospital. ' What happened ? How long have i been laying here?' she removed the oxygen bag from her noise. She tried to sit up but was just so impossible, she felt so weak . After so many attempt she finally woke Eloise ' Cassie, please leave me alone , I'm so sleepy ' Ellie shoved Cassie hands off her head. After a while, Eloise eyes was wide open ' Wait was that Cassie hands on my hair or am i dreaming ?' she questioned herself She raised her head up slowly and saw Cassie eyes wild opened, she was staring at her . ' Oh my gawd ' Eloise exclaimed ' Tell me it a dream right now Cassie? ' No, it not ' Cassie said weakly ' Ohhh my gosh, ohhh my gosh, I'm so excited ' she jumped ' I will be right back ' she disappeared She came back with a doctor who was accompanied by a nurse. ' Hell

Jason sat in disbelief, he couldn't believe all that was going on . 'Is he dreaming? Or is he hearing words from Skylar correctly ?' He sat down speechless not sure of what to say . ' Jason, I want you to forgive me, ' she begged with her head down . Jason was shocked by her reaction. ' skylar' He finally spoke after being silent for a while ' It's fine , you acknowledge you were wrong and decided to change , I forgive you' he said patting her hands gently ' Jason, can you do something to show I'm forgiven? Why don't we settle with a hug ?'. ' Sure, there is no harm in hugging ' Jason stood up and gave her a hug which made her smile . ' Thanks' she said softly ' Ohhhh my bad , what do you care for ?' she asked handing him the menu . ' I'm fine with just coffee and no sugar ' Jason smiled Few minutes later , a lady came with his coffee. They chatted for a while ' It's good you changed from your old ways and we are now friends.

what the heck are they saying right now?' He can't just leave Cassandra here all alone . ' i won't be going anywhere for now, ' Jason said with a frown. ' Jason , this is a decision that has already been made and finalized. Nothing can be done to change it ' one of the board members said ' And who finalized the decision ?' Jasonn questioned ' The whole entertainment board and your manager ' Jason looked at max who tried to hide his face . Gosh, who are they to mess with his life?. He owns his life and has every right to know anything before a decision is being made . Jason stood up in anger , made his way to the door but was stopped by Skylar who had been quiet all this while. ' Not so fast Mr Cole ' he stopped and turned ' This reporter here have an interview with us' ' God , what again is the bitch trying to get at? ' He was fed up of her madness. ' Mr Cole, I hope you comply with her. she is one of the renowned reporters in the media industries ' one of the board directors said as

' This is a miracle ' she screamed, calling for a doctor . The doctor examined her .The doctor face was glowing with a smile .

' excuse me ma'am ' The voice of the nurse brought her back to the painful reality. ' Are you miss Miller guardian?' ' yes I'm ' ' we have some file you need to fill ' ' Okay, no problem , is Cassie alright? what's wrong with her? Why are the doctors taking too long to come out?' ' the doctor will attend to you soon , I can't say much now. Please come with me to sign the file ' she handled Cassie's file to Ellie. Ellie was gloomy, she also needed medical attention, her head and feet hurt badly . Her face looked white and pale. She felt dizzy and fell to the ground. The nurse raced to help her up .

Can I have a pen and the paper ' ' okay, but take a seat , I will be right back ' the nurse returned in a few minutes with a pen and paper.

Nuella her manager jittery round to look for a mirror ``Here you go, ' she said, handing her the mirror. Skylar snatched it fast from her ' ohh ohh , I don't look too bad ' she said to herself.
