Let go just a little
The next morning I got a text from Taylor. It was an address she wanted me to meet her and Gabby at for breakfast. Fine I could call the modeling agency on the way. I threw on some new clothes and pulled my curly hair back into a pony tail. I grabbed my keys and left the house. "Be there in fifteen." I texted. "K, see you soon." She said.
I dialed the number to the modeling agency. "Hello, how may I help you?" "Hi, I'm looking for Collete." I said. "One moment." "Hello this is Collete?" "Hi Collete, this is Jessica I was just calling to make a change with one of my models." I said. "Okay give me a second to pull your file....Okay here we go. Who were you looking to change?" She asked. "Bunny." I said. "Okay I'll pull one of your backups and text over her measurements. Is there any reason you decided to switch her out?" "Oh, uh no reason. I just wanted to go in a different direction." I said. "Oh okay, I just like to know if there's an issue so I can address it. Okay I'll text you the details. Is there anything else I can help you with?" She asked. "That's it. Thank you!" "No problem, have a good day!" She said. "Thanks you too." I said hanging up the phone.
I pulled into the restaurant getting out. The girls came around the corner screaming. "We missed you!!" Said Taylor. "I'm so glad were all together again." Said Gabby. "Oh me too me too!" I said.
--------------------------------------
"Okay these waffles with cheese and bacon in them, drenched in syrup are so delicious!" I said taking another sip of my coffee. "Yea for being newbies in town we found a great place, although i guess we should've asked you where to go. I mean you've been here way longer than us." Said Gabby. "Oh, I wouldn't of known i haven't been out much if you know what I mean." I said.
"Oh we know what you mean, you sly dog you." Taylor said. "What? No NO!" My eyes shot up. "That's not what I meant. I meant because I've been busy on the line oh and cause you know people hound Hunter. People just come up to you like it's totally okay!" I said.
As if on cue a woman walked up to the table. "Hi, Jessica right?" I nodded. "Yes...can I help you?" I asked. "I just wanted to tell you I was sorry to hear about you and Hunters relationship. I had hopped you'd be the ones to make it." She said.
"What are you talking about? Our relationship is fine." I said. "Oh because I heard about the Bunny." She said. "The bunny??" I asked confused. "Oh, I guess you didn't know about the bunny. Which is...y'know awkward. I'm gonna go..." She waved and ran off. "What was that about?" Gabby asked. "I have no idea." I said. "And just a few weeks ago some lady wanted to help us find a house. I mean we talked about it over dinner but agreed it wouldn't make any sense to move." I said shaking my head.
"Wait a minute..." Taylor said. "Look at this article here." She said sliding her phone towards me. **Country Music Star and Heart Throb Hunter Hayes just recently married an unknown woman are they already having marital problems? His new wife is an up and coming fashion designer. While doing a model fitting he got cozy with one of the models, Bunny. What will happen to the happy couple? Will this break them up for good or will they be able to bounce back?** I couldn't read the rest I shoved the phone back in Taylor's direction.
"This is ridiculous! I literally just fired her today!" I said. "This was posted yesterday." Said Taylor. "Well something is going on. Nobody could've known unless...they had eyes and ears on the place. Give me one minute." I called Hunter. "Hey, I'm in the middle of a take what's up?" He said. "Y'know I wouldn't call you if it wasn't important." I said. "I know that's why I stepped out. What's up?" He asked.
I explained what happened with the girl that came up to the table and the article we found. Then connected it to the real estate agent. "You don't think...you don't think someone is bugging the house?" He asked. "How else would they know all of this!" I said. "Well nobody has been in the house!" He said. "Sure they have. We had Jack over several times so you guys could do work stuff. He wasn't on board with us staying married. Maybe this is his way of trying to break us up?" I suggested.
"Maybe but I'm not convinced. If he is in on this the article about us buying a house doesn't make sense. I just...hold on." He covered the phone. "Can you give me a minute it's important." He said to somebody. He pulled his hand away. "Sorry bout that, anyways. Why don't you see if you can find any other articles and I have a way we can bust him if it's true. I really have to get back in there but I'll be home at five. I'll have Leo come by and see if he can find anything suspicious." He said.
"Maybe we can tell him I lost a needle or something small? We can pretend like I lost it. Right, and Leo can call you while were looking. He wants to talk about the honey moon and how he thinks he should join us. While he's there he can offer to help us find the needle. Then we can walk him out and he can let us know if he finds anything." I said. "Yes and he has a buddy who just joined the police force. We can have him come over and we'll call Jack. He'll come in afterwards to let us know the jig is up. He knows who did it. We'll have him whisper in our ears while pointing at Jack." Hunter said. "This could work! Then he'll try to run and he can pretend to arrest him. And if he admits to doing it we can fire him." I said.
"Perfect. I love you and I don't need anybody trying to get involved. I don't know why he's doing this though." He said. "Me either. We'll figure it out though." I said. "Of course. Have a great day Babe. I'll see you soon." He said. "Bye love you." I said. "Love you too." He said hanging up.
I told the girls what we had talked about. They thought it was a good idea. They even helped me look up articles. We looked at several that had come out over the last few weeks. "None of these make any sense!" I said. "Yea I hope Ya'll nail Jack!" Said Taylor. "If it's even him. But honestly I dunno who else it could be." I said thoughtfully. I finished the last bits of my breakfast. "So when did Ya'll get in?" I asked. "Last night. Late, really late." Said Gabby.
"Well I'm glad Ya'll made it safely." I said. "Me too, so tell us what you need for us to do." Said Taylor. I gave them a rundown. Gave them the number to the guy at the factory. Told them he'd be making stuff and it would go in the warehouse. Where they would then get it shipped to the companies. Gave them the big names to hound. Gave them numbers to where the fabric was and when to get more to the factory. And anything else I could think of. "Great, we'll have a three bedroom house so we can have an office." Said Gabby.
"But if you wanted to go ahead and pay us now so we could find a place that'd be okay too." Said Taylor. I giggled. "I'll start paying you in two weeks when you start working. If you find a place let me know and we'll sort it out." I said. "Great yay. You're going to go on a honey moon. With your dream guy and were still single...wait where was I going with this?" Taylor asked.
I snorted. Hunter and I were so thrilled that the girls were moving here to help me out that he suggested we hook her up with a friend of his. "Well I was going to hook you up with a guy. But okay if you're going to be bitter never mind then." I said. "Wait what? Who? Is he a singer? Please say he's a singer." She said. "He's a singer. He's one of the opening acts for Hunter." I said. "Oh yay, what's his name and is he dreamy?" Taylor asked.
"His name is Riley West. Yes he's dreamy here look at this." I pulled up a picture of him singing with the lights behind him shinning through his shaggy brown hair. He had a trail of sweat. "Oh my geez yes please, hook me up with him." She said. "Well I know he's going on tour with Hunter and so if it works out...he'll be gone." I said. "Right, but you'll keep an eye on him." She said. "That's true." I said. We finished eating and they headed back to the hotel. Or house shopping I wasn't sure.
I however had to drop off the t-shirts and the designs I wanted printed they were cute and a little funny. They looked Great with my line. I was glad hunter suggested them because it needed something fun. Once I had done that i went home to finish sewing the shorts. The shirts were a standard size and should fit the new girls but they needed to try the shorts. I made the shorter ones a bit longer. I was so jealous of the models long legs.
Once I was done with that I had the girls come and get fitted. A few pins here and there and we were all good. While I waited for Hunter to get home I finished sewing the clothes to fit the models. It was a daunting task and I only got halfway done. Hunter texted me that the plan was a go and that he was at the house. Jason the cop would be outside the apartment in his patrol car waiting on his signal. We'd have him come up before Jack got there. So I started "looking" for my needle.
"Hey babe." Hunter said giving me a kiss as he walked in the door. "Hey, how was your day?" I asked. "Good, I've got one more song to nail and that should be done tomorrow and then they'll start getting the cd's out." "Not a lot of time eh?" I asked. "Doesn't need to be. I mean were in the digital age. Everything is mostly streamed now a days anyways." He said. "True, and I aint mad about that. I can't tell you how many scratched CDs I have floating around." I said.
"Ditto, how was your day?" He asked. "Long, I've seemed to of lost a needle I really need it." I said. "Oh can I help you look for it?" He asked. "Okay sure." He texted Leo to come on up to our floor of the condo. Then pretended his phone rang. "Hey Leo what's up? Oh sure that's fine. Where are you? Oh okay. Well we are home why don't you come on up?" He said. Then he ended the call and "hung up." We let Leo in. "Hey guys I wanted to talk to you about honey moon protocol I know you said you didn't want a body guard but I think you need one." Said Leo.
"We'll be safe." I said looking for my needle that wasn't lost. I was really looking for a camera. "What are you doing?" Leo asked. "Looking for a needle." I said. "Oh I'll help!" He said. Now he could start looking for a camera or something without tipping off Jack. If he was in fact involved. He must've saw something because he stopped looking. "I don't see it, I'm sorry. I need to get going but really think about taking me along." Said Leo. "Okay, we will. Can we lead you out?" Hunter asked. "Sure thing man." We led him outside.
"Okay so I found several hidden cameras all over." Leo said. "How come we didn't notice them?" I asked. "They were tiny and if you didn't know what they were you probably wouldn't of known what they were." Said Leo. "Thanks man we owe you one." I said. "No problem. I always liked Jack but this is low even for him. Let me know how it works out." Said Leo waving and leaving. Then it was time for Hunter to call Jack.
"Hey buddy how's it going?" He asked. "Well not to good man, I've got some bad news." Hunter said. "Oh what about?" He asked. "Well there was a news article and it's causing problems can you just come. We need to run recon." Hunter said. "Oh sure thing buddy. Be there in five minutes." He said hanging up.
We had Jason up and had briefed him on the plan already. When Jack came in his eyes shot up when he saw the police officer. "Heya buddy, what's with the cop?" Jack asked. "Well funniest thing happened we found some cameras and Jason here was able to trace them to their owner. So we know who's been watching us. We thought you'd like to know." Jason walked over and pointed at Jack while whispering. "You mean...no not my trusted friend Jack!" Said Hunter pretending to be alarmed. Jason walked over and put him in hand cuffs. Jack had no choice but to admit to his crimes.
"I can explain, hold on." He said. Jason stood by waiting for an explanation. "Look I did this out of love for you and your career man. It was getting stale people didn't care about you now that you were married. And I needed to get your name out there for the big album drop." Jack said. "You crossed a line. This is unacceptable! "Hunter said. "Look come on we can talk about this, it doesn't have to come to this. We can get rid of the cameras and go back to life as normal." Jack said.
Hunter laughed. "Well you're delusional. Look I knew you had been doing this. I just needed to force you into confessing. I'm not gonna have Jason here arrest you today. But I can't have you working for me anymore." Hunter said. Jack turned to me. "Please make him see reason I know he'll listen to you." He said.
"Yes, of course he will but I 100% agree with him. You gotta go. You didn't just violate his privacy you violated mine." I said. "Like you care! Your name was getting out there you were getting famous!" Jack snarled. "You clearly don't know me. I don't want to get famous. And I certainly don't want to piggy back of off Hunter's talent." "Then why are you still here!?" Jack asked. "Because I love him you idiot." I said. "Sure kid." Jack said. "If anything gets out about anything we've told you in private I will be pressing charges." Hunter threatened. He was talking about when we accidentally got married. "Jason take him out." I said. "Yes mam. Ya'll have a good day." He said opening the door and dragging Jack out.
After, Hunter called and got somebody new. Seemed like a nice guy. Hard to tell. His name was Garret. I guess when you're in this business you know other people doing the same things you were. I just couldn't believe what had happened. Neither could Garret. "Jack Naples seemed like a decent guy, guess you never know. I look forward to working with you though. Have a good evening." He said wrapping up the conversation.
As we ate the chicken and fries I quickly heated up we discussed the evening. "I can't believe that just happened." Hunter said. "Me either but at least the articles will finally stop." I said. "Oh yea, which y'know it's crazy. I don't really read the articles. I just don't care." Hunter said. "Me either. I know if I find them to lie it'll get the better of me." I said. "Right, it'll get to you either way honestly. Nothing you can do but know your own truth. And just hope others can see it as well." He said.
"I never wanted this." I said. "What being married to me?" He asked confused. "Yes, no. I don't know. You know being married to you comes with some challenges." I said. "More so than most marriages I can agree to that. This isn't what I wanted either. I mean I had to babysit some girl because of a stupid mistake we had made. I didn't know if you would ruin my career I mean you know if people found out we got married on accident. And I don't mean babysit in a bad way it's just you didn't know. I didn't know if you'd be cool." He said.
"Well I understand that. You have a life here that is very much in the public eye and I could've been upset about being fake married. But I tried to handle it the best I could." I said. "Are you kidding me? You were a champ!" He said. "I guess I just thought we had to be patient until you could go back home and hope nobody found out. But then when Jack said we run with it. I was like well maybe this is a better idea because you know if people found out I had a girl living here. There would be a lot of questions I couldn't answer. Do you feel like we made the right decision?" He asked.
"Oh yea! This could've ended badly for both of us. I mean if I didn't come back my family might have some questions. But in the end I suppose they wouldn't of came here. Or probably even cared." I said sighing. "I hate that your family doesn't see how amazing you are." He said shaking his head. "That's why you're my family now. And one day we'll have a couple of cute, creative kids running around here." I said. "Well you're right there." He said smiling.
