Kameela Devgan

"I was shocked to see him too, Cabello. He told me to not tell you cause he could surprise you." Her rambles followed in with her as she walked into my room with a pair of large plastic bags.

I was keenly yet fastly packing up my stuffs for the sudden go-to-Paris shoots and I should be in the airport in less than a hour now.

As I was folding my undergarments to fit in the the corner of my luggage bag, I caught her casually sliding the plastic bags she carried into my luggage and I snatched it away to scan through the package. My eyes threw daggers in anger when I looked up at her and she quickly made a stroll out of the room.

I put away the packages and finished packing up without having them in. I adjusted my tank top real quick and exited the room with my luggages along. I walked passed her to get my dried clothes from the laundry bag and I heard her squeaking in annoyance. "I have rented all-day to find this sexy pieces for you and you're simply neglecting them. How dare you?"

The only reply she got was my guttural groan. "Shut up, Lisa. I'm not going on a honeymoon. This is a work trip, that's all. Stop fantasizing nonsenses."

She huffed something under her breath and threw the bags of lingeries away on the couch.

The time showed 7.24pm and I have my flight on 8.10pm, so I'm literally going to be late and so I grabbed my luggages yet we got out of my house together. After locking the door, I gave my house yet car keys to Lisa while telling her to carry it until I come back.

We paced to the elevator with her holding onto one of the carry bag and me, along two luggages. The elevator sent us to the ground floor and we left the lobby, her advises to take care of myself became prominent as we neared the pick up and drop spot.

I was impatiently looking around for the taxi I booked and she was studying me up to bottom oddly.

I signalled my head as if asking what's the wrong and she shook her head, her eyes pointed at my breast.

"Lisa!" I whined while stomping one foot in annoyance and embarrassment.

"What? I'm not lusting over your breasts. I'm just....confused." She uttered, eyeing back at my breasts.

What is she doing?

Right when I was about to lash out something onto her, a familiar blue SUV parked itself infront us and a smiling Dhilip came out from the car.

"Get in, you're going to be late, right?" He chirped, gesturing me to slide in his car.

"Dhi, stop playing already. Lisa had been such a pain and don't you gang up with-"

"Chill, okay? I just wanted to send you off. I missed four days with you, ma'am....and I just want this 30 minutes ride together. Is it wrong?" He sounded reluctant to listen anything further with that pouty face and I couldn't say no. Thus, the taxi isn't here yet so I could be late if I wait for it any longer.

I agreed to follow him instead and I hugged Lisa goodbye before leaving off with Dhilip. We had some mild chitchats about how these four days goes by and I shared with him everything in details. Though the 30 minutes ride seems longer with our short exchange and when we reached the destination, we were directed inside the taxiway field with dozens of aircrafts parked on sideways.

We drove to one of the aircraft scheduled in the middle and it wasn't just a normal aeroplane, it was the business jet which screamed millions. I made up the standing figures nearby and there he is, the Adrian Reed Smith in a casual look as he was busily talking with a male in an uniform, which I assume to be the pilot. With avid, he gaze over our car and Dhilip stopped the vehicle just few feets away from them.

I sighed, not knowing of what might he think of me bringing Dhilip along. Wait, why am I caring about his opinion? This is my life so my choice matters here.

In a sense of determination, I set out from the car to walk behind to the car's boot. Dhilip came running to me and insisted on carrying my luggage but two other cabin crew members ran to us to grab on the luggages themselves. We refused at first but they stand firm by saying that they were told to assist me on-board.

Dhilip walked with me to the aircraft and I could detect this burning holes throughout us, which we ignored while attending ourselves to bid goodbyes. Dhilip pulled me into a hug and I promised him a day out when I come back, where he playfully mocked my promise.

We laughed whilst pulling away and our eyes caught hostage on the raging Tesla into the field. The car parked right after Dhilip's and a model like bimbo with a fake pouty reaction came out of it. Running to our direction, she parted her brisk towards Adrian and lunged around his neck with a kiss on the lips.

I gasped, feeling a tight knot on my stomach as I watched the couple kissing on front me. He seemed forced and unwilling when she launch him for a kiss but he never did once pushed her away.

He's not my Love God, then why is it hurting so much to see him with someone else? Maybe, because I still believe that he's still in him and there's a tiny bit of hope coming up whenever he became possessive of me.

"Kameela?" Dhilip called while holding onto my shoulders in assurance, acknowledging very well of my state right now.

"Aww, honey, why don't you just tell me that you're leaving somewhere again? I was worried sick." The woman shrilled as soon as they separate from the kiss.

"I'm sorry for not letting you know, Sierra. What are you doing here anyway?" Adrian asked. trying to muffle himself away from her tight grasp.

"Hmm, guess what, I heard that you're going to Paris for some campaign shoots so I thought....we could go there together. You can have your shoots done while we can have our fair shares of romance, all in one." She said with a flirty coyness.

"No. This is a business trip, not some romantic holiday cruise." He lashed the refusal right away. She faked a cry and hugged him closer, she cooed something on his ears which was invisible for us to hear and Adrian frowned, deeply in thought of what she said.

"Fine, but let me tell you this, Sierra....never distract me when I'm working. I will have an associate with me all the time, there...." He gestured at me. "....Miss Devgan, she will be everywhere with me when I'm modelling as she's my personal fashion consultant so do not distract her as well." At his information, she briefly eyed me and turned her look back to him with dismay.

"That?" She slurred while her fingers circulated over my frame. "That....will be your fashion consultant? What a shame."

"Excuse-" I started to sneer. "Watch it-" I listened to Dhilip's growl as well but our words died midway when Adrian took the lead.

"Shut the fuck up, Sierra! Now just get the fuck in before I roll you out." He yelled, making us both to stare onto each other in surprise and she was pale by now, nodding quickly she strolled in with a guy following closely behind her along the luggages.

That bimbo had some nerves to insult me. God, I wish Lisa was here to listen this.

"How about you? Do you want me to carry you inside?" He turned his red face towards me now and I shook my head, waving at Dhilip one last time before getting in the plane.

"Wait!" I halted at Dhilip's voice, peering around to meet him. Adrian released a low growl as he heard Dhilip's calling.

"I want to come with you too." Dhilip announced, pacing closer to me.

"No." Adrian took the upper hand to reply, instead of me.

What's his problem?

"Mr Smith, if you're taking a plus one to this business trip then why can't Miss Devgan have a plus one with her? I'm sure I could give her a great company." Dhilip let know with seriousness and he is correct in every aspect.

"Yes, sir. I would love...." I glanced at Dhilip once and saw him grinning then connected my gaze back to the glaring man. "....to have him with me. It's still an unofficial trip so technically, I can bring someone along." I pressed on my statement and we heard the same woman's cooing from inside. He grunted over his nose, walking in with frustration. "Whatever, just get in already."

"Come in already....but Dhi, how about your clothes?"

"Ah, don't need to worry on that. I got some spare clothes in my car, let me grab it very quick." He rushed to his car, clutching few of his attire in hangers and made his way back to me. We got in the flight and we took two seats away from that lovely couple.

The plane took off in minutes and we had this constant feeling of seized by a heated glare all along the journey. It was traumatizing to evident the carbon form of my Love God with another woman but thanks to Dhilip for keeping me distracted.

"I have come by this place so many times but I had no idea that we could watch such a beautiful sunrise from here." Dhilip spoke in awe as we stare at the glorifying sunrise from the open area in Trocadéro.

I giggled, nodding my head at his exclamation while admiring the nature's orangy hue.

It's been a day since we came here and the shoots will begin tomorrow as the arrangements are still ongoing within different places in Paris. As soon as we reached here, we were briefly introduced to the top professionals for every part in this campaign and I was excited to meet the gorgeous Ashley Graham. She was radiating with so much beauty in person, rather than the filtered magazine covers I had seen her.

I was wrecking with nervousness on the thought of being the one and only representative from CurveCult as everyone here were quite known for our brand, but then, I managed to handle up things that I should be doing with the help of my CEO in a phone call discussion.

A good sleep was all I need after the prior jetlagged since the hours travelling here and coming to the place we are living right now, the hotel was all about luxuries and their services were exhilarating with comfort as we were registered under Smith & Co.

"Take a picture of me before it goes away, please." Dhilip pleaded in enthusiasm as he gave me his handphone. He walked away to get a better pose, with his back facing the Eiffel tower and the divine full sunrise.

I laughed at his hilarious poses with each pictures while clicking them. He ran to me and fetched his phone to himself, examining the pictures.

"Wow, I'm impressed by your photography skill. Now come on, let me show you mine." He ushered me forward to make a move but I refused. "What? No. I'm good, Dhi."

He stand on his ground to get my images and urged me to pose for him. I give in eventually and started awkwardly positioning myself to come up with a pose. He taught me some and I shadowed, his cheering got loud for every photos taken.

Honestly, I don't know of what would I do if he wasn't here. He's really taking serious efforts to be there and with him, it's always this brotherly vibes, which I had never felt before.
