SebastianThat had not gone the way I thought it would. I turned and walked away, afraid of pushing her further away as I headed to the bar. I ordered several shots and a beer, downing then quickly before asking for more. I text my best friend telling him I'd fucked things up this weekend. When I saw his call come thru I picked up my drink and headed to an empty booth towards the back before answering."What did you do? It was a bit hard to understand your message," he said when I answered. I sighed and took another sip of my drink before responding. "I got a call from my brother yesterday. That girl whose bed I woke up in months ago is claiming she pregnant and that it's mine apparently. He called right when I was going to have dinner with Adira, which put me in a rough mood. I lashed out in frustration about her being on her phone and she tore into me. I realized that I was wrong to be frustrated with her over that and we moved on or so I thought. I started drinking and

Chapter 102

Sebastian By the time I was sobered up enough to make it to our room it was close to midnight. I had no doubt that Adira was sleeping at that point and decided I was better off on the sofa in this condition. I tried to make as little noise as possible as I took off my shoes and then downed some of the ibeprophen she'd left on the counter with two bottles of water. It was like she knew what I was going to need before I did. Hopefully by making sure to drink some water and take the medicine now in the morning I wouldn't have as bad of a headache. I stretched out on the sofa and before I knew it I was out.I woke the next morning to a ringing. I was right, the headache wasn't nearly as bad, but was still present. I sat up right looking around to see if I could find the source of the ring. I looked at my phone on the coffee table. It was dead so that wasn't it. The ringing persisted and I finally realized that it was the hotel phone on the end table next to the sofa. I answ

Chapter 103

Adira I was actually already awake when Adrian brought up the coffee at 10. I had tried to sleep in but my mind was racing too much to allow me to rest. I'd sort of picked at some leftovers that had been in my fridge and was sitting on the sofa with Charlie watching reruns of Law and Order when he came in. I knew that he could tell right away something was off, but in so many ways I couldn't fully explain it. He sat on my other side and handed me the coffee and we sat in companionable silence for the rest of the episode before he spoke. "Are you OK? Did he put his hands on you?" He asked and I smiled. It was probably not appropriate for the question he asked but it felt nice to know that Adrian cared."No he didn't put a hand on me, barely even raised his voice. As far as am I ok, well I am conflicted," I started before laying out all of the events from the last few days. I told him how Valentine continued to pop into my head and how sometimes I would unintentionally compar

Chapter 104

AdiraBy the time I'd showered and changed throwing on a mix of the new me and the old me - a pair of cargo pants with a bright blue tank top and pulling my hair in a pony tail it was time to meet Gio for lunch. Charlie and I arrived there before Gio and decided to take a table on the patio today as it was a nice day with a cool breeze. We'd only been waiting a few minutes when Charlie spotted him and woofed softly towards him, telling Gio where we were. He waited patiently for Gio to arrive at our table before going over to give him some love. I stood up and waited my turn for a much needed hug. I sighed in Gio's arms and I felt his squeeze me just a little tighter before letting go. We sat down and ordered first before Gio picked up on things. "What's wrong cara?" he asked, his accent a little thicker than usual. Everytime he returned home and spent time with his family in Italy it did that. It brought a smile to my face as usual. "I believe things with Sebastian have

Chapter 105

ValentineIt had felt like forever since I'd seen Petra and even though my family had teased me about her this weekend I was looking forward to seeing her tomorrow. We'd chatted in small bouts as we could this weekend between her work and mine and the poor reception at the home. I was looking forward to our weekend away and set myself a reminder to call on Thursday to make sure everything was ready. We were still working thru my insecurity but she was still happily spending time with me.I was sitting at my desk going over sales reports and emails before our meeting when I got a message from my father.Adira agreed to do your photos. We're on the way. She wants to see your office and do part of the shoot today.Today? Shit, I ran my hand through my hair and stood up walking over to my private bathroom. I was a little scruffier than usual, noting having bothered to shave this morning as we'd returned so late last night. But I still looked presentable or mostly I noted before fi

Chapter 106

AdiraWhen I returned to the gallery I was surprised to see a large bunch of roses on my desk. I had to actually look up what the colors meant and was pleasantly surprised, both at the meaning and for him not sending red ones. The card was short and sweet - Until we meet again. I sent Sebastian a quick thank you for the flowers before heading to Adrian's office. We spent a few hours catching up on work stuff that I'd missed the weekend. He handed over a few new contracts that had come through and we revieed my schedule. I told him to take a few extra days off to spend with his family and he promised he'd leave early Friday and not return until Tuesday the 9th. He had gotten a lot of interest in the new gallery opening we had planned so he emailed me some samples from several different photogaphers for me to look thru when I could before he returned. I talked to him about taking some time off before the gallery opening to spend with my brother and he agreed it would be good f

Chapter 107

AdiraValentine called right as I was getting out of the shower and I had put him on speaker phone so I could continue to dry off and put on my pajamas. He made me laugh when I told him why I had to put him on speaker phone. "You could just have Face timed me. Then I could tell you if you were dry enough," he said the smile evident in his voice.I rolled my eyes even though I knew he couldn't see. Then we discussed lunch tomorrow and agreed to meet at a nice restaurant down the street from his office. I asked him how his day was and I got to hear his version of Adira coming to the office and how she was going to do the photos for his piece in Forbes.I congradulated him on getting a piece done on him and he kinda brushed it off. We laughed thru his retelling of me taking photos in his office. I almost chimed in more than once with my side of what he was saying but bit my tongue. He said he was so impressed with the one picture Adira - me- had sent it him that he immediately s

Chapter 108

Sebastian"Do you want to come back to my place?" she said and I grinned. I waved the waiter over and gave him my card so that we could go. I took her hand in mine and while I waited for the waiter to return I called my driver. He'd be outside in just a few minutes which was perfect."Are you sure bella?" I asked. She hadn't once invited me over to where she was staying, not that I had minded but it could be a big deal to her."I don't want to wait," she confirmed right as the waiter returned. I signed the check and walked out with her hand in hand. My driver was waiting for us right in front and after I helped her into the car I gave him the address of the gallery before sliding in beside her. As the driver got in I raised the partition and once we were moving I pulled Petra on to my lap. I had missed her but my dreams last night had shaken me a little bit. I had dreamed of Adira in the kitchen and how I'd peel that shirt off of her.I shook my head to clear it a little be

Chapter 109

AdiraAn afternoon quickie with Valentine was the last thing, well almost the last thing, I'd been thinking about but I hadn't realized how much I needed it. I needed to feel close to him and the last hour with him was like a balm to my soul. After he left I showered quickly and changed back into my dress before heading to the store. I had my list of things I needed to get for tomrrow and I wanted to get back home in time to prep. Charlie greeted me at the door and had fun running in and out as I brought things in. I turned the TV off and the radio on while I prepped snacks for tomorrow before heading out to my studio and setting everything up in there. I made sure the cameras were charged and I had emptied the SD cards. I pulled the one from my trip with Sebastian and tucked it away in my office with the other SD cards that had pictures on them. I made some pasta and had a fruit salad for dinner while Charlie and I watched a movie. About half way thru Valentine called and

Chapter 110

Valentine Why did she feel so good in my arms? She looked cute today - with her big eyes hidden behind her glasses but the rest of her clearly on display. Though her tshirt covered her skin it did nothing to hid her shape. I took a deep breath and rolled my shoulder and neck to relax myself before watching as she began to pose in front of the window behind my desk. I could tell she was in the zone and while she was too busy explaining the pose and the look she wanted me to convey, I snuck out my phone and snapped a few pictures of her.When she noticed she asked "What are you doing?" I quickly put the phone away and just shook my head. She narrowed her eyes at me but she didn't say anything else as she walked over to the table for her camera.We walked through several poses. At first Adira told me I was too stiff. "You need to relax. Right now you look like you've got a pole up your butt. Talk to me about your routine. What do you do in the morning when you first come in
