ready for your next surprise, love?" Jason asked as he rose from the table."I am!" Cassandra beamed enthusiastically. She wondered what he could have in store for her next that could be better than the beautiful rooftop garden lunch they just had.Jason took Cassandra's hand and led her through the garden doors and back into the hotel. He pressed his hand against the small of her back as he guided her toward the elevator. She loved how attentive he was being.They arrived back down to the ground floor of the hotel. The couple walked outside to see Jason's driver and black truck waiting for them at the curb. "Charles, we meet again!" Jason teased with a friendly smile."Good evening Mr. Cole, Miss Stewart. I hope you enjoyed your lunch."Charles was such a delightful man. Through the way they acted towards each other, Cassandra had a feeling that Charles had been employed by Jason for quite a while.You could tell the older man had much respect for his younger boss."It was lovely, Ch

His lips felt soft and warm, and his touch alone sent instant shockwaves through her body. His kiss was tender and passionate at the same time and awakened a sensation in Cassandra that she hadn't felt in quite a while.The intensity was something that she had honestly never experienced before. Jason moved his attentions to Cassandra's neck, and he left a delicate trail of kisses down to her sun-kissed shoulder.Cassandra feverishly raked her fingers through Jason's wind tousled hair and pulled him in closer. She could feel Jason's breath coming faster as she gently nipped at his earlobe.As Cassandra moved toward Jason and positioned herself onto his lap to straddle him, she could feel him hard underneath of her.Jason's hands slid down her back and crept up under the back of her skirt, and he pulled her hard into him. Cassandra let out a gasp of pleasure as her animal instincts drove her to move slowly up and down against him.She was so lost in the moment that she was losing all se

Cassandra awoke early the next day and couldn't wait to see Jason. He was consuming her thoughts. She thought about him before going to sleep and thought about him immediately upon waking up.Cassandra was so confused about her feelings, but one thing was for sure, she had never felt anything like this before.Cassandra jumped out of bed and put on the outfit left in her room from the night before by Max. It was a cute sky blue tank top with a scoop neckline that fit her petite curves perfectly and paired with a pair of comfy, low-rise skinny jeans.How Jason knew her exact size was incredible! It was another thing that amazed her about this man. He wasn't anything like she imagined he would be.She wanted to call Eloise before she met Jason for breakfast and tell her all about the events from the previous day. She knew Eloise was going to give her crap for not calling her the night before. Cassandra was amazed that Eloise had not blown up her phone, asking for updates.Voicemail. Hmm

Returning to the hotel, Cassandra had a little extra time to indulge in a relaxing bubble bath before it was time to get ready.All thoughts of Johnathan and his infidelity had vanished from Cassandra's mind, and all she could think about was Jason. She planned on arriving at the show a little early before the band took the stage in hopes of spending a little time with Jason before he went on.Cassandra tried calling Eloise again before getting dressed in hopes of taking a few minutes to bring her friend up to speed, but like the last time, she got her voice mail.Not hearing from Eloise left a pit of worry in her stomach. Why was she not answering or responding?She would try her again before she left the hotel.Cassandra curled her hair into small, smooth spirals and threw on her outfit. She touched up her make-up, giving it a little more dramatic look for the show. Cassandra was ready to head out to the venue to see Jason. Even though it had only been several hours, she had missed

Cassandra could feel tears start to well up in her eyes, and she fought hard to hold them back. Surely, there was no truth to what that woman was saying. Or was there?Jason was a gorgeous, world-renowned rock star, so how could he have eyes for just her?After all, Cassandra was just a plain old girl from a small town. What did he see in her? Was he just using her until he got to the next city and then would pick another one out of the crowd or from one of the meet and greets?Cassandra paced back and forth across the dressing room, wringing her hands with nervous energy, struggling to let herself believe the things that she had just heard.Then she started thinking back to their encounter at the beach the evening before and how Jason had pulled away when things were starting to heat up. He had the opportunity yesterday to make love to her; she was certainly willing, but he stopped it.Jason told her that she was too special, but was that the truth?Perhaps he honestly just thought s

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

' 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 .

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 .

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.

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.

' 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 .

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.
