I was halfway to my cousin's work when it started raining hard. Figures, this seems to be the type of luck I have had recently. The last two years have been terrible and emotionally draining. My ex-fiance decided to take a job in France a week before we were to get married. While that would be a good thing, it wasn’t. He decided not to tell me that he was doing this. I found out when I called his sister and she told me what he did. He completely blindsided me. I knew his parents didn’t like me so I was not surprised that they never said anything to me. Thankfully his sister and I were friends so she told me everything. Apparently, he had also cheated on me. That was a year and a half ago. These last six months have been better.
I was taking my cousin lunch because if I didn’t she probably wouldn’t have eaten. I had cooked her some homemade chicken enchiladas. Thank god the food couldn’t get wet. I, on the other hand, am completely soaked. I finally made it to the building where she works. Stephan, the receptionist looks at me and starts laughing. I am sure I looked like a drowned rat. I look down and yup my shirt is transparent and my baby blue bra is on display. I just shrug my shoulders. There is nothing I can do about it. I take the elevator up to her floor and get off. It sounded quiet so I let myself in only to see she was not alone. There are three people. Two men and a woman sitting across from my cousin Evie.
“Sorry Evie I didn’t hear anyone but you talk so I thought you were alone,” I tell her.
“It’s fine Kyaria. We are almost finished.” Evie answers with a smile.
I stand at the end of the table and place her lunch on it. I am trying to stay quiet and not disturb their meeting. I look up only to be met with a pair of dark brown eyes with golden-green flakes sprinkled in them. I shake my head and the guy smirks. I notice he is giving me a very thorough eye-fucking. The guy is so gorgeous. It really should be illegal for a guy to be this gorgeous. He’s tall with curly black hair. He stands up and his shirt shows off his muscular arms and washboard abs. His jeans fit his muscular legs perfectly. The leather jacket just adds to his bad boy look. All I can get myself to do being faced with this god-like man is to smile at him. I notice his eyes keep traveling down and I am sure he is looking at my baby blue bra through my transparent shirt.
The three of them leave and I finally release a breath that I didn’t even know I was holding in. What the hell, my entire mind just shut down. Not exactly the best first impression. I am used to seeing ridiculously attractive people in Evie’s office. She owns her own modeling agency.
“You walked here in the rain?” Evie asks.
“Kinda, the rain started when I was halfway there,” I answer.
“Is that lunch?” Evie asks.
I just smile and push the container towards her. I hear her let out an appreciative groan when she takes the first bite. I want to ask about the guy, but I know that if I show any interest she will have me set up on a date. The last time she set me up with one of her models it didn’t go well. The guy was expecting a model, not a regular girl like me. Her phone starts ringing and she picks it up.
“I need to take this.” She says to me.
I wave her off. I know she is working and I am not offended that she picked up the call. I pick up one of the magazines that litter her office and start flipping through it. I notice the tone of her voice changes.
“Ok, yes I understand,” Evie says to the other person.
“Really, yes I can make it happen,” Evie adds.
I tilt my head and look at her. I can see a surprised look on her face. When she hangs up a huge grin stretches across her face. She is looking at me and I am mildly concerned. I don’t like the look on her face.
“That was Gabby.” She tells me.
“Ok,” I reply.
“I am guessing she was the woman here with hottie #1 and hottie #2.” I say to her.
“Yes, she is the assistant to Brady, hottie #2. They manage the band Crazy.” Evie explains.
I know who that band. They are one of the biggest rock bands. I have been a fan since they released their first album five years ago. I look at her. I am not sure why she is smiling at me.
“They were here because the model they had chosen for a video bailed on them. Gabby knew they were gonna be in town so they swung by here to look at some of my models.” Evie tells me.
“Ok, and this matters to me because?” I ask.
“Please pay attention Kyaria, you just met Jaidyn Matthews. He is Crazy’s lead guitarist.” She explains.
Well, that explains a lot. Damn, he was hot. I was totally lost in his eyes and I would love to run my hands up and down that solid chest and those rock hard abs. I am still confused as to what any of this has to do with me. I am actually starting to worry because of the shit-eating grin on her face.
“Gabby just called to cancel the model that they had picked out.” She says.
“That sucks for you,” I tell her.
She grabs my face to make me look at her. She has lost her mind. I can’t help her. She might be my cousin and best friend but I am not model material.
“They canceled because Mr. Rockstar wants you to act as his girlfriend in Crazy’s new video.” She explains.
Excuse me, what the actual fuck. Me, Kyaria Rogers. I am no model, why in the hell would he want me? I am nothing special. Evie continues to tell me about the video shoot and when it is. I still can’t wrap my mind around why he would choose me. I am no model and I have never done anything like that before. Somehow Evie talks me into doing the video. She calls Gabby back to tell her that I will do it. I still haven’t said anything and I am not sure what I would say. What in the hell just happened?
Evie gives me a ride home since it is still raining out. She follows me up to my apartment. She looks around, I already know what she is thinking. Yes, it’s small, but it is only me so I don’t need anything big. I am still in shock over what happened earlier. Why in the hell would a famous rock star want plain old me? He literally can have any woman he wants. None of this makes sense.
Video shoots are my least favorite thing that we have to do. I hate the whole process. They are repetitive and boring. I just want this to be done so we can get back to Los Angeles. The album is done and this is the first single off of it. The song is amazing. This is the last day of the shoot. The other guys have already shot their parts. I walk downstairs to the kitchen. There is a group of models admiring themselves in the mirror they are trying to catch our drummer Devon’s attention. He however is engrossed in a conversation with our manager Brady.
It’s been three days since the video shoot and I can’t get the images out of my mind. I can’t shake the feeling of Jaidyn’s arms around me and his hands all over my body. Everywhere he touched me he left what felt like tiny electrical sparks. When he kissed me I am positive my mind shut the hell down. It totally short-circuited. He tasted like cinnamon. God, he smelt so fucking delicious, like cinnamon, cologne, and leather (probably from the leather jacket he wears). I was disappointed when the shoot was over. I didn’t want to get out of his arms. I was leaving my house on my skateboard to head to work. I work for my sister in her cafe. It is mainly
I am sitting in my chair behind my desk pinching the bridge of my nose. Jaidyn stands in front of me. I seriously can’t believe what he did. I have known him, Aiden, and Dru since we were ten. I have no idea what he was thinking. I knew something was up with him when Kyaria walked into the meeting we were having with the agent. You could almost feel the sparks and instant attraction between the two. Don’t get me started on the video shoot. That was the hottest and steamiest video Crazy has ever shot and it was due to their on-screen chemistry. I look at Gabby and she is just shaking her head.
The whole band was standing around waiting for the last of the shit to get loaded up. I noticed Dru opening the door of Brady’s car for someone. I watched as Kyaria stepped out. She was wearing a pair of cut off jean shorts and an off the shoulder t-shirt. I could see straps that belonged to what I am guessing was a tank top. She had on black flip flops. I could see her struggling to get a couple of large suitcases out of the trunk of the car. I jogged over to the car and hauled one of the suitcases out as Dru grabbed the other one. I noticed that she had two smaller bags as well.
Well, so far everything is going well. We have been on the road for a week. In that week the band has played three concerts, so I have hundreds of pictures already. Jaidyn has been nothing but a gentleman so far. Well besides being super flirty. Between the schoolboy type flirting and the sexual innuendos I really like being around him. Of course, I can give as good as I can take, so he has gotten quite a few smart ass remarks shot back at him along with some sexual innuendos of my own. I guess you could say we are definitely flirting with each other. I know it will not go anywhere. That knowledge makes me sad. I a
After what happened yesterday, I decided that Kyaria and I needed to have a girl day. Of course, we had to have Davis one of our security guards with us. Which was fine. I made sure to tell him that once the two of us sat down for lunch to disappear. I knew with him around that Kyaria wasn’t going to say much. I could see a personality change in her when the guys ran up on her so fast. Then when Jaidyn yelled at her cause he was worried she instantly shut down. When Jaidyn came out to meet us for dinner letting us know that Kyaria wasn’t opening her door I knew there was something seriously wrong. I have seen it be
I noticed that Kyaria vanished before the end of our concert. I started to get worried until Dru told me that Gabby sent her to get ready for the after-party. I was so pissed as she told her story over dinner the other night. How dare that worthless piece of shit bail on her before her big day. No wonder she acts like guys doesn’t want her. If she only knew how many guys follow her with their eyes when she is walking around with us or during the concerts. Dru has had to warn several of them to keep their hands off. Which I am glad for.
Jaidyn is kissing me again. The last thing I knew was he was tickling me. Then his lips were pressed against mine. God his lips feel so good. I can feel him press down on me more and it feels so good. Let go of his shirt and slide my hands around and onto his back. I slide one of my hands up and bury it in his hair. I hear him groan into the kiss. He nibbles my bottom lip and I grant him access. Soon our tongues are wrapped around each other. I feel his hand slip up my outer thigh and land on my ass. He picks up my leg and wraps it around his waist. I can feel the same hand slide back up my side and jus
