A few days past and both Jessica and Desmond haven't spoke to eachother not because of the arguments but after that nice advice Desmond gave her which shocked her still. They both felt a bit awkward to talk eachother.

Right now Desmond was working out and showing his clients about the workout as He was focusing on his work.

While Jessica has been busy with her work and had more photoshoots scheduled today including some interviews and more but Jessica was taking it slow.

Ariana has been texting Desmond non stop and was trying to apologise about that argument that they had a few days ago, But Desmond ignored her messages.

Desmond was looking at the clients as he had a text message which was from Ariana as Desmond sighed and closed his phone.

Desmond: She's starting to annoy me even more. . . .

Desmond continued until he had a notification of Jessica posting her new photodshop as He looked at the picture where Jessica had was wearing a red outift and was posing.

Jessica_McKay: Burning up in your heart 🔥❤

Desmond smiled at the caption and at the picture as He stared at it and saw how pretty she looked as Desmond just liked the picture and closed his phone.

Meanwhile Jessica was looking at the mirror as she was fixing her hair.

Jessica: Look at my new hairstyle Cassie! It looks cute doesn't it?

Cassie: Yesss it suits you so well!

The girls were cheering as Jessica was getting spammed with notification as Cassie looked at her as Jessica smiled and saw alot likes and comments until she noticed that Desmond liked the picture as well as She was surprised but also couldn't help but smile as Cassie looked and smiled.

Cassie: What happened?

Jessica: Oh Nothing.

She continued smiling as Jessica remembered Crowe's words in her head.

" 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 kept remembering his words before she just shook her head.

( Hmph, Looks like High school Desmond is back )

Cassie: JESSICA!!!

Jessica screamed and jumped as Cassie looked angry as she was pouting.

Cassie: Did you even hear what I said!?

Jessica: Uhh I agree!

Cassie: On what?

Jessica: *Shrugs* About what you just said.

Cassie: What??? Jess, What are you even thinking about sis?

Jessica: Nothing! I was just lost in my thoughts.

Cassie: . . Mmmmm definitely not thinking about Desmond.

Jessica: No, that's not true!!!

Cassie: Hehehe you seem more soft to him then before sis.

Jessica: CASSIE!!!!

Cassie was laughing as Jessica started hitting her with no harm though, Jessica decided to go outside and take a break as She was playing with her new hairstyle as the wind was blowing.

Jessica: Now I wonder where Desmond could be.

Jessica was thinking, She felt like she wanted to see him for some reason as Jessica was thinking if she should or not.

Until Jessica had an idea and knew where Desmond was exactly at as She smiled and looked around.

Couple mintues later Desmond was taking a break as He was staring and couldn't stop smiling as Sam was peaking with an strange look on his face as Sam walked towards him and tapped his shoulder.

Sam: Uh Desmond?

Desmond: *Smiles* Yeah?

Sam: I stole you soda and drank all of it.

Sam was expecting Desmond to be angry and was preparing to run but Desmond didn't even look at him and continued smiling.

Desmond: *Smiles* Its alright.

Sam: Wait what???

Sam didn't expected that response as Sam just stared in confusion.

Sam: So your not mad? Or are you just playing with me?

Desmond: *Smiles* Nah its okay.

Desmond continued smiling as Sam was confused and raised an eyebrow.

Sam: Why are you smiling like that?

Desmond: *Smiles* Nothing.

Desmond continued smiling as the thing that was on his head was Jessica as Sam just stared.

Sam: Who are you thinking about?

Desmond: *Smiles* No one.

Sam: Are you sure? Or is it Jess?

Desmond: *Smiles* Maybe.

Sam's eyes were widen as Sam covered his mouth and looked with a smile.

Sam: Ahhh I see you two are getting along slowly huh??

Desmond: *Smiles* Yeah you can say that- Wait.

Sam was smiling as Desmond's smile slowly faded away as he turned with his eyes widen as Sam nodded and smiled.

Sam: Busted.

Desmond: Sam, I'm gonna punch you!!!!

Sam laughed as Desmond got up and was blushing and felt embrassed as Desmond punched Sam on the arm as Cahil was laughing and was holding his arm as Desmond felt really angry as Sam looked at him.

Sam: You were just smiling and staring while thinking about Jess?

Desmond: *Stares* N-No!. . . .

Sam: Hahahaha I knew you like her

Desmond: No I don't!!! *Realises and Punches him in the shoulder again* You drank my soda!

Sam: Hahahahaha Geez, Jessica keeps you calm then because now your getting upset when your not thinking about her.

Sam continued laughing as Desmond and anger on his face.

Desmond: Ahh screw you.

Desmond just walked away as Sam just laughed and smiled as Desmond drank some water until he heard someone humming and walking as Desmond was confused until he turned and saw. . . .

Jessica was walking as She looked around the gym as Desmond was shocked.

Desmond: Wait, What is she doing here???

Desmond was about to walk away until. . .

Jessica: Desmond!!!!

Desmond tried to run away as Jessica got upset and ran towards him.

Jessica: Don't avoid me!!!

Desmond: Sam!! My Killer is haunting me again!

Jessica: Excuse me!?

Desmond chuckled and laughed as Sam saw the two and chuckled as Jessica turned Desmond as he looked at her. He saw her new hairstyle as his eyes were widen as Jessica looked at him.

Jessica: What?

Desmond: Umm nothing.

Jessica: Anyways, How's my new hairstyle???

Jessica smiled and showed her hairstyle as Desmond stared at it and found it cute on her as he had a small smile before he kept a straight face.

Desmond: It looks. . . Great actually.

Jessica: Hehe Cute isn't it?

Desmond: Yeah right.

Jessica smiled at him as Desmond wS feeling a bit awkward until Jessica pulled out a picture as it was her recent photoshoot as she was showing it to Desmond.

Desmond: Uhh you do know this is a gym, Jess.

Jessica: So what??? I'm just showing you a picture!

Desmond: Your the only one dressed up like that while others are wearing workout outfits.

Jessica: It doesn't matter! Anyways look at this.

Desmond grabbed the picture and was looking at the photo as Jessica was smiling and talking.

Jessica: Honestly the hairstyle suits sooo well for this outift! I was gonna pick a different color but I loved this one. Does it fit??? Give me an honest opinion Jerk.

Desmond: Uhh It actually suits really nicely, Looks cute too.

Jessica: Really????

Jessica was shocked that he called it cute as Desmond smiled a little and nodded as Desmond continued looking as Jessica was looking at him as Desmond looked at her.

Desmond: The hairstyle reminds me of how you looked in high school.

Jessica was smiling as She just stared at Desmond while touching her hair as Both of them were looking directly at the eyes as they were silent.

Suddenly they started feeling a bit awkward as Jessica smiled and slowly took the picture while walking away while still staring at him.

Jessica walked away as Desmond was just staring at her as She just looked at him one last time as Desmond kept staring at her before she walked away and left.

He stared and felt a bit different as Desmond felt his heart beating fast when he was around her.

Sam noticed Desmond was just standing as Desmond continued smiling and was thinking about Jessica as He looked at the ground and chuckled.

He was feeling a connection towards her.
