Chapter 8

FRANCESCA

I don't think I can eat another scoop of ice cream for the rest of my life.

For the past week, all I've been doing is being cooped up in the apartment, eating junk food when my tummy aches get too bad. Basically, I've been existing on Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough, and a box of donuts Emmalee brought to my place a few days ago, worried about me.

The donuts are all that is left now, since I can't fathom eating another spoon of ice cream, and since they're so old they've gotten moldy, I'd rather not risk it.

At that point, I realize I can't stay in my apartment for ever.

Never mind the fact I've been told that by Emma, my housekeeper, my brother and both my parents. I needed the time to heal, because the past week has been nothing but a shit storm of blog posts, tabloid articles and general terrible gossip.

It started with Kaiden's damn interview. And then someone took a photo of me arriving at his place, which was just perfect, because it kicked off further speculation.

Of course, it wasn't mentioned until the day of the premiere, when I was too busy to pay attention to the media. Then, all hell broke loose the day of the movie premiere ...

There were photos of everything - save for our little touch and feel exploration in the theater, thank God. If anyone were to know about that, I would just about die of embarrassment.

But there were plenty of other photos ... Like me, red as a tomato, in the middle of an embarrassing conversation with Monica Hunter.

Fucking Monica Hunter, who's won two Oscars, and I was being teased about being fingered in front of her. Can I die now, please?

And then there were the photos of me slapping Kaiden, which of course, fired off a whole new story and plenty of speculation about what happened.

Let's just say our faces have been plastered on every gossip website, many of which took it upon themselves to tag me in their posts to make sure I saw it. Who does that?

I don't let myself think about him.

Meaning, I try to stop it, but occasionally it does happen.

I'm too embarrassed to even think about what I let him do in the theater, but what's surprising is the fact that he hasn't made a single comment to the media about us. Actually, the tabloid's favorite movie star kid has been keeping low, not even photographed with a pretty model, leaving a club and looking completely shitfaced.

It's mildly shocking.

But I don't let myself dwell on it too much, because Kaiden Hunter is a complete, utter asshole, and I don't want anything to do with him.

My phone has been ringing off the hook, though I haven't bothered to check my messages yet. Not many people have this number, so I have no idea whether the media got a hold of it or what.

However, staring at the moldy donuts I realize something's gotta give.

With a sigh, I take a long shower, dry my hair and sit down to do my hair and makeup.
