Fated To Be Together

Dinner with family

I woke up the next morning and rushed to my phone hoping to see a text or a call from Brian, but I was still disappointed. I had to call him to check what happened.

"hey babe". he answered after the third ring.

"hey" I said

"I'm sorry I couldn't call you back as I promised, I was held at work". he said sounding uneasy.

"it's okay.. hey are you alright?. you aren't sounding ok".

"I'm okay babe, just been awake all night sorting out some work"

"alright". "I have a shooting today so I'll go to the set later. do you mind coming to my place before then?".

"aww babe, I really wish I can make it but I still have some unfinished work on my desk".

"it's alright, I'll come to help you out then" I asked with fingers crossed. And as expected he refused. He has been like this for the past couple weeks, always coming up with some excuses to avoid me.

"so when can I see you?" I asked sighing in defeat.

"I'll let you know when I'm free baby, okay?" " just know that I love you alright"

"I love you too.. let me leave to your work then".

"alright my love, I'll come see you when I'm not busy"

"okay bye". I ended the call before he could say something else. I rushed to the bathroom to take my bath before heading to the kitchen for my breakfast.

This has been my daily routine, except when my assistant comes around and, of course Ria.

speaking of Ria, I haven't heard from her after my shoot yesterday. We are supposed to plan for our girls night which is this weekend.

I picked my phone to call her but decided against it until i finish my breakfast. I went into the bathroom and allowed the warm water to calm my body. My bathroom is filled with all the body and hair wash I can think of. Being a model and an actress comes with its pecks remember?

After my warm bath, I changed into a nice comfortable dress before heading to the kitchen. I decided to go with oats and scrambled eggs for breakfast.

I finished my breakfast, cleared the dinning before calling Ria. She didn't answer at the first call which is a bit odd cause she's always with her phone. I called again and she answered at the fourth ring.

"hey baby girl" she said huskily

"Ria don't tell me you're still sleeping" I queried

"I am.. hangover" she said.

"who was it this time, your secret boyfriend? I asked winking even though she can't see me.

" no babe... why did you call?"

"oh I was hoping you could come around to stay with me before my shoot, i still have few hours left and I don't wanna be alone".

"sorry babe, can't make it, I can barely stand from the bed" she said.

"oh okay, take enough rest alright".

"thanks T". I dropped the phone feeling a bit dejected. it isn't my first time of being alone but I really needed to stay with somebody and nobody is here. I picked up a magazine on top of my table to keep myself busy. On the front cover of the magazine was me looking all exquisite in my royal blue strapless gown. I can remember very well the day I took the photo. It was on my 25th birthday, I had just sealed a deal with Aurora, one of the biggest makeup companies in New York City, that was two months ago. I celebrated it with my close friends and colleagues.

Picking up the magazine made me realized I haven't spoken to my parents in days. I miss them. I picked up my phone and called my mom..

"hello Natasha" she answered after the second ring.

"hi mum"

"how are you my dear?"

"I'm fine mum. And how are you and Dad?"

"we're fine dear. miss you dear" she said in her sweetest voice

" miss you too mum" I said

"when are you coming to see us?"she asked

"you know I've been busy with my work and career mum.. but don't worry I'll make out time to come".

"you and your work, always working and not resting. Anyway, what about this Sunday?".

"you can come and have dinner with us.. we'd be having people over the house for dinner too" she continued.

"I'll check my schedule mum, but I'm not promising anything yet"

"that's okay dear"

"my regards to dad okay"

"yes dear, we'll be expecting you on Sunday".

"ok mum, I know you'll never take no for an answer" I said laughing

"bye dear". she said, ending the call.

My parents have always been there for me, especially my mum. They're my idol, being the owners of Sparkle Magazine which I'm their brand ambassador. I haven't seen them in weeks and now I'm gonna have dinner with them. I can't wait for Sunday, who knows who they'll be inviting this time, trust me, they always do.

I looked at the time and realized that I have two more hours before my shoot. Two more miserable lonely hours. I decided to take a short nap, maybe when I'll wake up, it'll be already time to go.
