“Don’t forget Jay is leaving us this tour, we will need help with wardrobe.” I remind them all.
Vanessa’s eyes catch mine; an enormous grin lights up her face.
“Evan’s right. Derrick and Sienna could totally do his job,” Vanessa squeals excitedly.
Axel eyes me suspiciously. I shrug at him.
“Okay, set it up, V, they will be a perfect addition to our team.” With that, Axel walks away leaving Christian and me talking to Vanessa.
“Don’t think I didn’t see you flirting with her Mr. Wyld,” Vanessa scolds me.
I try to pretend I don’t understand what she is talking about.
“Dude, no touching the employees; remember tour rules,” Christian adds.
Fuck, how could I forget? It will be torture traveling with her for three months, not being able to touch her. I need to get this crush under control before she arrives.
“Hands off Sienna if she joins the tour. You are as bad as him not being able to keep your dick in your pants,” Vanessa reprimands us both.#p#分页标题#e#
“Hey,” Christian pretends to be hurt.
“I know, I know, but she is hot,” was my only comeback.
Vanessa folds her arms over her chest not looking happy with my comment.
“It will make her day if I tell her that. But still hands off, understood?”
I nod. Yeah, I get it, she’s off limits.
“And Christian, please behave in Mexico, I don’t want to have to kick your ass when I get home.”
Christian crosses his heart.
Vanessa didn’t look convinced at all.
And with that she signs off.
Christian punches me in the arm. “Seriously, no touching Sienna, V is super protective of her – they are practically sisters. You can look but no touching, there’s plenty more willing women around.”
I nod in agreement, but I knew that promise would be hard to keep once she was here.
“That fucking bastard,” I yell, throwing the newspaper across the breakfast table shocking everyone around it with my outburst. Spread across the black and white pages were big bold letters screaming engagement. Photos of Beau and Diana, with their respective families dressed in formal attire, posing for the photographer. A close up picture of her ring attached to the article showing the large stone shining against her bony fingers. They had to twist the knife right where it hurts. Christmas and New Years’ spent by myself for the first time in 10 years. And Beau was spending it getting engaged to his mistress. Happy fucking New Year to me!
“Beau proposed in front of our families on the stroke of midnight during the Williams’ family annual New Year’s Eve ball. He declared his love in front of everyone that we know and admire. I can’t wait to marry him and plan our future together, one we missed out on having for such a long time. I can’t wait to become Mrs. Williams and start a family with the man I love.”
Derrick starts gagging after reading the quote from Diana. “What a bitch, she just had to have a dig at you didn’t she?”
“You were always too good for that man,” Dad adds, before taking another bite of his blueberry oatmeal waffles.
I love that dad is a celebrated vegan chef, but sometimes I wish we could just have bacon for breakfast. Today definitely calls for bacon.
“You can stay here for as long as you like, sweetheart.” Mum smiles across the table at me. “You don’t have to go back just yet if you don’t want to, dear.” I know she wants to keep me here a little longer because over the years I’ve been so busy with my business I haven’t had much time to hang out with her, and this break has been good for us to catch up again.
We are heading back to Sydney today and in all honesty I want to stay stuck up here on the mountain where I can enjoy the bliss. Instead, I am going to be hit by a media tsunami after the bombshell Beau dropped. “I know Mum, but Derrick and I have to get home to pack so we can join Vanessa in LA.”
Vanessa returned to the US to get ready for the band’s tour of Europe. It was hard saying goodbye to her but we were going to see each other soon. After surprising me with a private Dirty Texas concert, she offered Derrick and myself jobs as the band’s newest stylists. It took us 2.5 seconds to say yes to her offer. Getting away from Sydney is exactly what I needed to do. There’s nothing left for me there anymore, and now Beau’s engagement announcement makes moving from Sydney that much easier.
“I’m just going to miss you so much Sisi,” she says, looking a little teary eyed which breaks my heart.
“And I’m going to miss you as well, Derrick.” She adds, giving him a smile.#p#分页标题#e#
