Jason's POV
"Jason you made it, I was just about to call you." I walked into Miranda's house, she moved obviously and wasn't staying with her dad hopefully Austin isn't here.

''Wow you cleaned up nice," I teased admiring the decor of her new house I'd say, it was like your any modern day house, the wallpapers were white and black definitely not what I thought she would go for, but who doesn't love a white house. 

"Am so glad you came early, this way you'll help me with the remaining shopping and preparations, is Sophie here?" She was giving me a tour of the house now and honestly I just wanted to lay down and sleep, it was already Monday here so at least that's one day down.

She was talking way too much hardly letting me get a word in, and I simply nodded and smiled when she turns to look at me.

"And this is where you'll be staying for the week." She showed me to my room but I actually had a different plan actually.

"I was thinking of staying at a hotel actually, don't worry about it." I scratch the back of my head awkwardly.

"Nonsense, you'll be staying here its only proper." She played the fancy voice at me I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're still doing that, her royal highness duchess Miranda of erendel,'' I also teased, she loved the idea of being royal I'd blame it on the times she had to spend alone but at least she had something to escape to.

We actually became friends mainly to confide in each other, she had her loneliness and with her dad never around to deal with and I had a dad who never let's me plan my life so we kinda helped each other until I switched to a different alternative and things took a wild turn for me, am just lucky I had a reality check before it was too late and I managed to do something for myself, it's not what I wanted but am happy.

"But on serious note, I need to be at the hotel," I stressed thr hotel just so she would get it, I couldn't miss the hurt in her face but I really didn't want to do this to her, plus Austin wouldn't want me living with his soon to be bride.

"Fine I'll just drag Sophie into staying here then." She forced a smile and we walked back to the living room.

****
I was checked in at The Dorchester Hotel and guess what? it was the same hotel Annabelle checked into, she's definitely going to hate me for this but I can't get away from her, even when I try I just can't, I manage to get her room number from the front desk which wasn't easy and got the next room right after hers, let the fun and games begin.

I slept the whole night yesterday, like a baby some might say I was exhausted and the moment I got back from Miranda's place I fell asleep instantly, now am thinking of the perfect way to surprise my next door neighbour, who if am not mistaken is getting ready for fashion week.

I showered and change into a casual look, I wore a white cardigan and blue jeans and a converse and made my way down to the lobby, I was waiting for her like a kid excited to open his present on a Christmas morning and it was freaking me out too, maybe am being too much I might come out as stalkerish so I decided to turn around when I bumped into her of course.

''Are you following me?" Was the first thing out of her mouth, all I could do was stare she looked absolutely perfect wearing the most lovely dress I've seen, even when she's not trying to hard she still manages to look gorgeous. "Hello?" She snapped me out of my trance.

"Are you also staying at this hotel, my room is just by the corner 4B." I pointed straight ahead it was all I could think of.

"Unbelievable how is that even possible, I don't even want to know I have a show to catch," she swings her hands in frustration and I followed behind like a dog chasing it's master "what do you want?" She turns back at me.

"Since am not doing anything today, might I suggest accompanying to the show," I offered hoping she says yes.

"Why?" She frown at me and I felt my heart slowly crushing.

"Think about it, who shows up to an event without a date," I twirled my hands sideways at her and that did the trick,  Miranda won't mind I could skip today.

"I can't believe am saying this, but sure." We made our way to the limo packed outside right by the hotel, with two people already seated inside waiting for her, they both looked terrified of her and I honestly don't know why someone would be terrified of sweet ol Belle, but that wasn't my concern at the moment, I was just excited I get to spend the day with her.

"How was the flight?" She turned to the girl seated in the car.

"Uneventful," she answered quickly avoiding eye contact, I was expecting she introduces me but she didn't, am guessing her personal assistant.

The ride was oddly quiet and not how I expected it to be, I thought we'd be back to talking or maybe teasing at each other but she was on her phone the entire time and so were her assistants.

"Are we still not talking?" I break the silence but I was too late we were already here, the door open and we walked out, I couldn't see a thing cameras flashing the crowd was insane I was about to get lost when a hand pulled me in by her side and we walked to our seats.

''Don't embarrass me," she warned taking her seat.

"Am sorry if I've never been-" she cuts me off immediately.

"Shuush, shows starting." And I was silent wondering what was going on.

So yes they're modeling cloths, some are writing notes down I think, others admiring but I didn't know what the hell I was watching and why I was watching, few times I would try to tap her but her assistant would shrug me off not to.

The show was finally over and we were back in the car, well I was because she stayed for interviews, I was with Kelly and Harry, apparently those are their names which I learnt back inside when she was yelling at them.

"Are you dating madam?" Harry asked.

"Does it look like it?" I asked him back.

"No one would date that witch honestly," Kelly let out a laugh.

"Excuse me?" I felt offended, why would anyone call her a witch, sure she's mean to them from what I've seen but it felt too extreme.

"Don't get me wrong, she's nice but deep down she's broken, unloved and that has made her really cold," she defended and I  couldn't help but think if I was that reason, I know she has been through a lot than anyone should, from her parents secrets to Ashley, but I never taught it was that serious.

Maybe am seeing it the wrong way, I shouldn't be thinking of how to get back together with her, but rather I show fix her, show her how it feels like to be loved again, she must have been hurt losing everyone she loved that day and I didn't help either, I really messed up.

Annabelle's POV
Who does he think he is showing up just to prove a point, crashing my flight and now he's crashing my hotel space, am not falling for his charms anymore, I did that years ago and look where that got me, broken and hopeless, losing everything I ever loved and he contributed so much in my pain that I hate it.

I wasn't even concentrating on the questions being asked, I know he's seated perfectly waiting in the car right now, I don't even know why I agreed to him following me now I have to think of a way to get rid of him, without sounding so rude.

"Great everyone's still here." I stated rather than asking they all looked startled upon seeing me but I couldn't care less.

"How was it?" Jason reached for my hands but I pulled away immediately, am not falling for his tricks.

"What's On the schedule today?" I turn to Kelly.

"Looks like you have the rest of your day free," she looks up to me smiling.

"Great I'll take you out then, let's see the city," Jason offered immediately flashing that smile on me, god he looks so innocent when he's being evil.

"No thank you," I turn my back at him facing the window but he wasn't giving up that easy.

"We're stopping here," my two assistants spoke right on cue I wanted to be selfish and ask them to stay but I knew there was nothing to do for me honestly at the moment, but I just didn't want to be alone at the moment with him.

"keep your phones on standby," I added and they were off.

"Come on it'll be fun," Jason turned immediately they left shifting closer to me.

"Space?" I raised my voice a little before calming down "sorry."

"It's fine maybe I should just stop it," he said in the most lowest voice possible and at that point I felt bad, he was trying so hard to get me to forgive him and I wasn't being fair so what's one day going to hurt.

"No let's go," I turn to him giving a half smile.

"You mean it?" He was looking so happy at my response.

"Why not!" I gave him a reassuring nod putting my hands on his and his smile at that moment totally melted my heart, I think I just fell in love again.

'Oh no'
