A week has past and Jessica has been more busy then usual, Her and Ariana started a competition of the best model until the next few months. However Jessica and Ariana have a real life feud and hatred together but people think that their just doing that for fun.

Jessica hasn't been at home nor has talked to anyone. Desmond has been hearing about everything and was hoping that Ariana wouldn't trouble him any more. Although Desmond has been alone lately without Jessica troubling or talking to him.

Right now Desmond laying on his stomach on the bench of the Gym as Sam was standing and looking at him.

Desmond: I'm bored.

Sam: Geez, Your been saying that for the last few days. Aren't we both playing video games and hang out often?

Desmond: *Sighs* I know but I'm bored.

Sam: Wow that's strange of you.

He rolled his eyes as Sam just stared at him as Desmond just got up and stared at Sam.

Desmond: What? Anyone feels bored.

Sam: Right and Didn't we watched The Batman yesterday? Along with Scream Five? You were excited to watch them

Desmond just stayed quiet as Sam just looked at him until he realised something as Sam was shocked.

Sam: Wait a minute. . .

Desmond: What?

Sam: Do you. . . Miss Jess?

Desmond was silent as He just stared at Sam as Sam was shocked.

Sam: She has been at work alot and is more busy every since she started a competition against your Ex Girlfriend. Are you actually missing Jessica??

Desmond: Uh- What?? No of course not!

Sam: *Has a smile on his face* Ohhh somebody is in love finally.

Desmond immediately got up as Sam stated laughing and ran off as Desmond started chasing him in anger.

But Did Desmond actually miss her?

Soon Desmond was out of the Gym as He walking while kicking a pebble as He just sighed and looked around.

Desmond: Great, Sam left to do something and Cody is one busy man. . . And No one to annoy.

He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes as He was thinking about Jessica.

Desmond: Feels odd that she hasn't been here. . .

( The first thing I always heard in the morning was her screaming or shouting. . )

It felt different when he didn't hear or seen her as Desmond just continued thinking until he bumped into someone as He saw who it was.

Cassie: Oh Hey Desmond! Sorry for bumping into you like that

Desmond: *Looks at her hair then at her face* Hey Cassie. It's alright actually.

( Wow How many times has she changed her hair color I wonder? )

Desmond: Cool hair color by the way.

Cassie: Aww thanks Desmond!

Desmond smiled and nodded as Cassie smiled at him until she decided to ask Desmond a question as She fixed her hair.

Cassie: Hey, Have you been with Jessica?

Desmond: Uhh. She hasn't been in the apartment lately actually. She probably comes late night. . . Why?

Cassie: Oh I see. Its just that I haven't talked to her every since she started competition with Ariana Grande. She said that she's been so busy and she wants to focus but I also notice that she's been overworking

Desmond just tilted his head as Cassie continued talking.

Cassie: Like, I'm worried if she hasn't been getting enough sleep. I tried texting and calling her but she always messages and says she's busy.

Desmond: I guess that's how busy a model is. But I understand your concern.

Cassie: Yeah. I was wondering if. . . You could maybe speak to her?

Desmond: What? Why me??

Cassie: Because both of you live together. C'mon Just talk to her and tell her to not overwork.

Desmond: I. . .

Cassie: Look, I don't mind if you two start arguing as usual. But can you atleast tell her to not stress out?

Desmond looked at her as He was thinking about Jessica, Desmond had to agree on Cassie's concern. At the same time not only Desmond was bored or anything, He also felt a bit worried about Jessica.

Desmond: Okay. I'll do it.

Cassie: *Smiles* That's great! Thank you Desmond, Let me know okay?

Desmond: I got it Cassie. But You already will know how the rest of the days goes when I talk to her.

Cassie: *Laughs* Arguing?

Desmond: Of course.

He joked as Cassie laughed as Desmond just chuckled as Cassie said "Bye" to him as Desmond walked away as He was thinking about it.

( Don't know when Jessica will come back home though? )

Meanwhile in the apartment, Jessica came back a little early to rest up for sometime before going back to work, She fixed her hair and looked at herself in the phone camera.

She smiled and fixed her hair and took a selfie as Jessica went inside and looked around as Jesscia went to the living room and didn't see Desmond.

Jessica: Desmond isn't home?

Jessica just stared, She also hasn't seen or talked to Desmond in a while. She sat down taking her heels off as Jessica was looking at her nails then looked at her phone.

Suddenly She heard the door opening as Jessica immediately knew it was Desmond as She just raised an eyebrow and looked at her phone.

She saw a glimpse of someone peaking as Jessica turned but didn't see anyone as she was confused while Desmond was hiding behind the wall.

( Wow, Already she's here??? What a timing. )

Desmond was feeling a bit awkward as he fixed his collar and just walked as Jessica looked at him as He decided to give a nice smile.

Jessica was staring at his smile as She smiled a little until She tried to pretend she wasn't looking at him.

Jessica: Welcome home Jerk. Why are you smiling so much also?

Desmond: Umm Because I got a date?

Jessica: Wait What??

Desmond: I wish I did.

Jessica stared and looked in relief for some reason, She rolled her eyes and laughed.

Jessica: I actually wanna know the reason why the girls don't wanna date you hahaha

Desmond: Hey, You should look at yourself!

Desmond just sighed in anger and remembered what he needed to do as He sat down in the couch as Jessica bit her lip and looked at him as Desmond cleared his throat.

Desmond: So. . Why haven't you been at home?

Jessica: You know the reason why, Its because of work and deal with your ex girlfriend! She's already annoying me.

Desmond: Geez I get you but are you overworking too much?

Jessica: *Raises an eyebrow* Why are you asking?

Desmond: *Shrugs*  I'm. . Just sayin

Jessica: Of course I am. You gotta work hard for this moment of being a model.

Desmond just stared at her as Jessica was staring at him as They were both awkwardly silent.

Jessica: Did I. . Say something?

Desmond: What? No.

Jessica: Then why are you silent!?

Desmond: Owww My eardrums

Jessica: Urgh!

Jessica threw a cushion at him as Desmond was holding the cushion as Jessica crossed her arms as Desmond stared.

Desmond: Ow Okay fine. You know I know that your coming home late night

Jessica: Yeah. Very late.

Desmond: Yeah um. . . You shouldn't. . Do that you know?

Jessica: What do you mean?

Desmond: Like, Don't overwork or stress yourself out, I can tell your not sleeping properly.

Jessica: I am-

Desmond: Your makeup is probably covering the tiredness.

Jessica: What? No-

Desmond: Trust me Jess. I know how big this is but you should take care of yourself first, You don't have to go through stress just for Ariana.

Jessica was shocked and silent as Desmond was holding his head as He was trying to speak.

Desmond: She's not worth it, You can go through the competition but also take care of yourself. I . . . Know your a great model to be honest and. . . Way better then Ariana.

Jessica's eyes were widen in shock as Desmond looked at her.

Desmond: Believe me, just be yourself. Even your friend Cassie is worried. . . Thats all I have to say. Uh. .

Jessica: Ummm. . .

Desmond: I'll. . . Leave now.

Jessica didn't know what to respond with as Desmond just got up and walked away as Jessica was just staring at him.

Jessica: Wow. . .

Jessica was just sitting for sometime thinking about the way Desmond spoke to her as she started blushing until she smacked her head.

Jessica: Urgh! Stop thinking about him!!!

She got angry while was blushing as Jessica was staring. Meanwhile Desmond was standing outside the front door as He was feeling a bit awkward.

Maybe he was feeling something about her as well.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
