Cassandra awoke early the next day and couldn't wait to see Jason. He was consuming her thoughts. She thought about him before going to sleep and thought about him immediately upon waking up.Cassandra was so confused about her feelings, but one thing was for sure, she had never felt anything like this before.Cassandra jumped out of bed and put on the outfit left in her room from the night before by Max. It was a cute sky blue tank top with a scoop neckline that fit her petite curves perfectly and paired with a pair of comfy, low-rise skinny jeans.How Jason knew her exact size was incredible! It was another thing that amazed her about this man. He wasn't anything like she imagined he would be.She wanted to call Eloise before she met Jason for breakfast and tell her all about the events from the previous day. She knew Eloise was going to give her crap for not calling her the night before. Cassandra was amazed that Eloise had not blown up her phone, asking for updates.Voicemail. Hmm
Returning to the hotel, Cassandra had a little extra time to indulge in a relaxing bubble bath before it was time to get ready.All thoughts of Johnathan and his infidelity had vanished from Cassandra's mind, and all she could think about was Jason. She planned on arriving at the show a little early before the band took the stage in hopes of spending a little time with Jason before he went on.Cassandra tried calling Eloise again before getting dressed in hopes of taking a few minutes to bring her friend up to speed, but like the last time, she got her voice mail.Not hearing from Eloise left a pit of worry in her stomach. Why was she not answering or responding?She would try her again before she left the hotel.Cassandra curled her hair into small, smooth spirals and threw on her outfit. She touched up her make-up, giving it a little more dramatic look for the show. Cassandra was ready to head out to the venue to see Jason. Even though it had only been several hours, she had missed
Cassandra could feel tears start to well up in her eyes, and she fought hard to hold them back. Surely, there was no truth to what that woman was saying. Or was there?Jason was a gorgeous, world-renowned rock star, so how could he have eyes for just her?After all, Cassandra was just a plain old girl from a small town. What did he see in her? Was he just using her until he got to the next city and then would pick another one out of the crowd or from one of the meet and greets?Cassandra paced back and forth across the dressing room, wringing her hands with nervous energy, struggling to let herself believe the things that she had just heard.Then she started thinking back to their encounter at the beach the evening before and how Jason had pulled away when things were starting to heat up. He had the opportunity yesterday to make love to her; she was certainly willing, but he stopped it.Jason told her that she was too special, but was that the truth?Perhaps he honestly just thought s
Pulling up in her driveway, Cassandra met Eloise at her door. Eloise looked horrible; she had dark circles under puffy, bloodshot eyes, and she was white as a ghost. Cassandra knew something must be wrong seeing her usually upbeat friend in this condition.Eloise sulked into the house and immediately threw her arms around Cassandra's neck, and burst into tears, sobbing into her shoulder."Ellie, everything's going to be okay. Just tell me what happened."Cassandra led her into the living room, where they both settled down on the two-seater couch. It took a few minutes for Eloise to catch her breath, and quiet herself down just enough to get a few words out."Nic- Nicholas, lef..lef..left me." she stuttered through her sobs."Wait, what?""My husband walked away, Cassie!""Oh my gosh, Ellie! Why? When? What happened?"Cassandra was stunned by the words she was hearing. Despite their issues, Eloise and Nicholas were always so solid."He, he left me be-because I, I wouldn't give him a ch
"And that's the whole story," said Eloise sadly. "I'm going to have a baby, and my husband has left me."Cassandra sat in disbelief at the story Eloise had just told her. She was appalled that Nicholas would just up and leave his wife of nine years. And with a note? What a coward!Cassandra put into words what she had been thinking since Eloise had arrived and told her the news, "Elle, have you thought about calling Nicholas and telling him that you need to talk; that the conversation is super urgent?""I don't want him to come back just because of the baby, Cass. I want him to be here because he loves me, baby or not. I know I was getting frustrated with him and said I was tired of it all, but I honestly didn't mean it. I would have never left."Cassandra reached over and hugged her friend. "It's going to be okay, Elle. I'm here for you. It'll all work out in the end, I promise."Cassandra wished she hadn't made such an empty promise to her friend. She didn't know if things would eve
"Wait, what are you even doing here? Don't you have a show to do tonight?" Cassandra's voice was hoarse and shaky, and she could feel her balled-up fists growing clammy. Her nerves were getting the best of her right now, and she had to try and remain calm; no tears! Jason was standing so close to Cassandra that she caught a whiff of the clean-smelling cologne that he always wore, and it sent her emotions into overdrive. She could feel the raw attraction between them that was always there since day one. She couldn't deny that physical connection, and it took all the willpower she could muster not to throw her arms around him and tell her how sorry she was for leaving. "I came here to see you, Cassandra! To find out why you left me last night with no word, no note, no nothing! "You wouldn't even return my calls or texts. Then next thing you know, I pull up and find your so-called ex at your house yet again, kissing you! What exactly is going on, Cassandra?" Jason's words were hurtful, a
Jason lightly caressed her cheek with the back of his hand and moved it down her neck, settling at the mounds of her firm breasts.Cassandra's skin felt so warm and silky; he wanted to take in all of this beauty that was lying so close to him. He unbuttoned her shirt ever so slowly, taking the time to drop soft kisses on the flushed skin underneath.Cassandra's breath came fast as she craved more of his touch and let out a tiny gasp of pleasure. Jason removed Cassandra's blouse and tossed it to the floor. He found the clasp of her bra and delicately slid it down off her shoulders, exposing her naked breasts.His hands explored Cassandra's body and found her tiny pink nipples, taught with excitement. He ran his tongue ever so lightly across one, and Cassandra arched her back toward him, wanting to feel herself fully in his mouth.The warm wetness of his tongue and hot breath on her bare skin made Cassandra long to feel the fullness of him between her thighs. Cassandra feverishly tugged
They arrived at the airport where Jason's private jet was fueled up, waiting for them to board. The crew was friendly and polite and treated her with just as much respect as they did their famous boss. The flight was only about an hour-long, and when they landed at the airport, Charles was there in the shiny black SUV, waiting to take them to the venue. They pulled up to the concert hall, and Cassandra noticed the same familiar hordes of fans lined up outside the entrance doors waiting to get inside to see the show. She sat there and remembered just a few nights ago being simply a random face among that same type of crowd. Charles pulled up to a back entrance eerily similar to the venue Cassandra was at, just the night before when everything went awry. Jason helped Cassandra out of the truck and led her through a heavy steel door inside the building. They walked through the hustle and bustle of the many crew members that were getting everything ready for the show. Jason had missed sou
