Karen stared at the team of workers that crowded Cole and took his aid from that point. She was curious to know where they would take him and why he passed out like that.
She returned to her seat and continued with her phone, taking his matter off her mind.
*
Karen knew she wasn't lasting a second day with the camping idea when they were driven to the hotel they were to spend the night. She missed the feeling of staying away from everyone.
The longer she spent with the models, the more she discovered a lot of them were actors and singers she had seen on television.
They were in one of the city's most popular five star hotels.
She was given a personal room, as the remnant models in the trip.
It was a great platform and the sponsors were wealthy enough to take care of them.
Her hotel room was neat and that took the stres
Karen followed behind the three women that had officially been taking care of her hair and make up since the French man had put them in charge of her.She sat with her eyes glued to her phone screen while they took care of her. It was officially the next day of their shooting.
Cole looked into the room, trying his best to stop Lara from coming inside. Karen looked like she was distracted by the tea in her hand, and didnt seem like she was interested in his visitor.Cole pushed her aside and stepped out of the room, "Lara, what are you doing here?"
"N..no." Cole stuttered, restoring his handkerchief into his pocket, he didn't look like he was lying and so she waved it, not caring so much."Hm." She waved at a waiter. The man in a tuxedo answered her silent call and came over."Get me a new glass cup." She simply put."Yes ma'am." The man nodded and left to do as told. She loved it when people listened to her even though it was his job to do so."Why? You want to have a drink with me?" Cole raised an eyebrow at her,"Something like that." She shrugged, wondering if it wasn't obvious enough."You know," he began, "I still don't understand why you came to hang out with me." He said."I felt like it." She shrugged, "I came to listen to the show and I saw you sitting alone so I chose to hurt in." She stirred in her seat.The waiter returned with an empty glass cup and she eyed it cautious
Lara Zyke sat in the restaurant, her hands on the table. She crossed her legs, ignoring how her short dress was almost revealing her underwear in that seated position."I think you need to use some more makeup on your face though." Khalid pointed to the small red mark on her face from her encounter with Karen.
Karen was on her way to another shoot when her phone rang, disrupting the peace of the car. The noise had broken the silence that had accompanied them all the way from the hotel to their current destination.She had flinched when it rang in her laps where her small handbag was rested.A few eyes turned to her. There were three other models in the limousine, the vehicle chosen as today's ride. They soon diverted their attentions back to the road, easing her of feeling uncomfortable."Have you heard the news?" An unrecognizable voice asked her from the other end. Whoever it was was calling her from the office landline.She didn't care much about the news unless...Her eyes widened. Could people have managed to publish that she and Cole had sex on their trip? Everyone must have have been on the look out for them ever since they heard about them working together. She shook her head, "what news
"Karen!" Cole was unable to catch up with her. His hands reflexively flew up to his head and he shook his head in fear. Someone from the other side had managed to catch her instead. He yanked her towards him and drew her close to his chest.Cole heaved a sigh of relief. The man seemed so determined because he didn't let her go. Karen looked at him like she was lost from her environment. He had a feeling it was because she hadn't expected the incident.Cole ran across the streets when he knew the road was free."Karen!" He pulled her out of the strange man's grip. He was still holding on to her by now which made him appear fishy to Cole. "Are you okay? What were you thinking? " He received her and hugged her to his chest.She didnt say anything at first. She moved away from hom and shook her head really fast, "thank you so much for saving me Jacob, I have no idea where you came from but I'm thankful."
Cole inserted the key into its hole and furrowed his eyebrows when the door budged. It was already open. He walked into his apartment and glared when he saw that Lara was in the living room."Cole!" She stood to her feet sharply."What are you doing here?" He walked in and closed the door behind him"I only came by to say hello." She lied, smirking and taking strides towards him. "A little bird told me you would be coming back home and so I thought it would be great if I came here beforehand, what do you think?" She got to where he stood.She snaked her arms around his neck and moved closer to him. "What do you think you're doing?" Cole was tired, too tired to pay attention to the gown she was in.Lara had specifically chosen the outfit she was in, a red lace gown that was see through. It barely stopped after her butt. There was a shorter shirt gown in the same colour underneath her outfit
Cole got into his shirt, scanning through his contact list to see if he would find any information about Karen. "Dang it." He groaned, realizing he didn't have her phone number.He proceeded to dial Lara, hoping internally that he could stop her before she got what she wanted.Like he expected, she didn't answer the phone. Cole hooked his car keys around his index finger and stuffed his phone into his pants pocket. He ran his fingers through his hair unconsciously and left the house.This was the last string Lara would be pulling, he could vouch for that.*Karen sat still in front of her dressing mirror, talking to her reflection. "Here goes nothing." She nodded and applied a decent amount of face lotion onto her palm. She hadn't used any skincare products in so long and her smooth face was proof that she didn't need them to look good.Tonight, she was overwhelmed by bore
Karen waited for him to react, but there was nothing. He stood there staring at her, trying to process the information internally. There was no way in the world she had just said that."What?" He said in a cracked voice.She shrieked when he pulled her to her feet and lifted her from the floor she tapped his shoulders repeatedly, "put me down, please let me go." She squealed in amusement.He did just as she had said, letting her to her feet and then he took her lips in his."Oh my God, I can't believe this," he laughed, placing his hands on his head."You scared me back there for a minute, I thought you were going to react the total opposite." She confessed with a smile, wrapping her arms around him, "so you're happy about it then?" She raised an eyebrow at him."Fuck yes!" He chuckled. "I don't even know what the right action to take is right now." He buried h
"Oh my goodness gracious, that is wonderful news!" She felt like a whole bomb that had been waiting to explode had finally been let loose inside of her. She had lowkey spent time worrying about his well being but knowing fully well that there was nothing to worry about did so much much in relieving her that she had no idea when she stood to her feet and pulled him into a hug."Come here you." She chuckled, squeezing him tight in her grip. He laughed at the reaction and returned the hug in an even tighter embrace. There was really a lot about her he fancied so much to even think to let go off her."How are we celebrating this? This is the best news I've heard in a while.'' She smiled against his shoulder."I could eat a whole meal... with you on the menu." He teased her."Well, dinner is served then." She raised her eyebrows at him, wrapping her hands around his neck while he lifted her up."But before then, you should get stuffed up too, we don't want you getting all exhausted, so eat
The next Monday at work, Karen called Hannah to her office after informing her that she had something important to share with her.She was on her phone texting with Cole. They had been doing this over the last hour and even though it was distracting her from going through her emails, she enjoyed the feeling.They had spent most of the weekend together and he had offered to take her on a trip. Her smile wore off when Hannah walked into the office with a slight knock on the door."Come in." Karen called to her, letting Cole know that she would talk to him later.She moved her phone and placed it on the table face down. "Please take your seat." She directed, extending her hand to the seat in front of her."Okay." Hannah nodded in agreement, a little bit fearful of what Karen could possibly want to say to her. "Did I do something wrong?" She wondered aloud."No. I just wanted
Cole decided not to ask her anything about the topic, knowing it would only lead to more uncomfortable moments. The drive to the hospital in silence for the rest of the journey.Getting there, the calm breeze that hit Karen's skin made her feel a sense of refreshment.Cole noticed but only smiled in response, holding her hand and taking her into the building with him after he had secured the car locked in a good parking space.When they walked into the hospital, the first thing Karen felt was an instant hit of sadness.She looked around at the people that filled every corner of the room and couldn't help her expression."What's wrong?" Cole asked again,noticing how far she looked."It's nothing." She lied and craned her head in different directions, silently following him to the woman at the reception counter."Is there anything I can do for you?" She aske
"Yes we are getting back together, why do you seem to have such a big problem with it?" Karen raised her eyebrows at his confused mother, "I mean if people want to go in relationships, you shouldn't go around poking noses into their businesses." She sounded as if she had planned the answers previously, waiting to let it all out."But he is my son, I have every right to ask him why he is with his ex wife all of a sudden, so don't make it seem like I am some bad egg or something." Elizabeth retorted. She was still flabbergasted from meeting Karen here all of a sudden but that was not a considerable factor to hold her back from saying her mind."I'm glad we have answered your question." Karen stood to her feet and extended her hands towards Cole. He was still in shock and plain confusion hut he received her hand and stood to his feet as well. "I think we will leave now.""Cole, what is happening?" Elizabeth wondered, followin
Barely anyone paid attention to their presence for a second when they got inside but a few heads turned their way. Karen calmed down in that stance,realizing that people didn’t really know so much about her like she thought and that made her feel relieved, a bit comfortable to be here again.She wondered where his mother could be, or what she was doing. Karen didn’t think she would have to bunp into her anytine soon because she was the expectant grandmother and should be busy with handling other activities at the nmoment.Karen was brought out of scrutiny when her phone began to ring in her purse. Cole had been paying attention to what she possibly felt like and so he was curious to know what phone call she was receiving.“Who's that?” He asked her while she unzipped her bag. She brought the phone out and put it up to her face.“My mom.” She answered him, sounding surpri
"What are you doing?" Karen sat up in bed and looked up at Cole as he dressed up ,clearly ready to leave for somewhere.She stretched, I ywned and rubbed her eyes a little. Cole smiled at her and kept doing the buttons on his shirt while trying to focus on his reflection at the same time."Tell me, do I look good enough?" He turned around to look at her and his lips twitched into a smile when he cauht the look of confusion on her face and her furrowed eyebrows. "Why do you look like I stole something from you?""Where are you going?" She changed the format of her previous question."So today is my sister's baby shower and I'm supposed to be there." He explained, moving towards a drawer. He pulled it out and brought a colonge out."What time is it?" Karen looked around the room, trying to find a wall clock."Almost twelve." He sighed."Whoa." She gasped, wi
"W..what?" Karen stuttered, staring blankly at Cole. She thought she must have heard him wrong and wondered if he knew what he was doing or saying.Cole raised one eyebrow at her and when she remained silent for a long time, he began to laugh at her facial expression. "I was just messing with you. You should have seen your face." He teased her.
Karen was walking out of the organisation after closing hours when her phone rang in her handbag. It was a white leather one that matched her suit outfit. She stopped walking, zipped the bag open and pulled her phone out. She had been startled a little because she was not expecting the phone call.She rolled her eyes with a smile on her face when she saw who the phone call was from. It was none other than Cole. Typical.
