"Sophia are your parents getting divorced?"
"Sophia, are you attending Axton's wedding?"
"Your brother has been spotted with a girl, is he dating someone?"
"Chanel posted a list of models, your name is there, can you confirm molding for them at their show tomorrow?"
Their questions flow through the air, hitting me harder than the wind. It was early, around nine in the morning. The sunlight warms my skin. I was on my way to breakfast with Axton. After last night, we couldn't finish our conversation about his new sister, so we're meeting for lunch, or at least planning to, but with the paparazzi,I might die before eating waffles, yes I'm being dramatic.
"Sophia, your outfit looks amazing!"
"Thank you." I smile, today I was wearing a black fitted long sleeve top, tucked into my dark blue pants, which had a box tied around the waist. I added heels and literally ran out the door. Yes, I ran in heels.
"Sophia, who were you wearing last night?"
"Prada." I answer, walking into my car. Guess who was driving herself today, without security might I add. My phone vibrates and I see a message from Axton.
Axton: Seatbelt.
Does he stalk me? I shake my head, pulling the seatbelt over my body. Today I had to take Shyla to the doctor because she's scared to ask mom and doesn't want to do it alone, so I'm taking her. Then I have to go to my office, coffee, you better work bitch.
I turn on the radio and Swimming Pools by Lloyd starts playing as I pull onto the busy streets of New York City. The morning was early but the streets were pretty busy, the hustle, rush, and speed of this city own my heart. Interupting my music, Amyra calls me.

"You interrupted my concert." I answer her call,
"Did you know your dad's real name is David?" I burst out laughing.
"Haha, what?" I ask still laughing, as Myra chuckles through the phone.
"Yeah his name is David. He changed it to Xavier for his career." Typical David.
"How do you know that?" I ask her, raising a brow.
"Well, I'm your mom's lawyer, also remember when we talked about growing old in the lake house in Florida?"
"Yeah," I reply, brow still raised.
"Her will says Sebastian's going to fucking get it!"
"So?" I ask her, laughing.
"You're not getting it bitch!" she yells.
"Myra I don't care." I continue laughing.
"Well I do!"
"Of course you do, I have breakfast with Axton now, I'll call you later." I tell her hanging up.
"Bye Have fun!"
I pull into the car park of the cafe, and thankfully there's no paparazzi here, at all. I get out of the car, walking to the front of the cafe, I like sitting outside of the cafe, so I smile when I see Axton sitting at a table outside of the cafe. But he doesn't look happy, he looks, stressed?
"Hi." I tell him, walking up to the table.
"You look beautiful." he says. Don't smile Sophia. Don't.
"Thank you." I smiled, yeah we both knew there was no way I couldn't smile.
"I ordered waffles, with strawberries and chocolate syrup." he tells me and I smile.
"Thank you, but I'm too sexy for this syrup." I wink at him and he rolls his eyes.
"You really need to get off Tik Tok." he mumbles.

"Enough about me Axton, tell me about your, sister." I laugh because it felt weird saying that to him.
"Firstly, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you." he says, looking at me with a sincere look on is face.
"Yeah, yeah. Your sister!" I tell him.
"Remember after my dad and Corbin screwed up the company?" I nod slowly.
"My parents left for Paris, and they stayed there for about a year."
"Yeah, because your father was too scared to show his face in New York." I roll my eyes.
"Well, during that year my mom was pregnant." I widen my eyes as the waitress places the plate of waffles in front of me.
"Thank you." I flash her a smile.
"Go on." I tell him, taking a bite of the waffles.
"They hid her pregnancy from us, basically the world. She gave birth, but apparently the baby had died." I frown.
"But it was one of my father's lies, he gave the baby up for adoption. The family contacted me to assist them financially with her education and thought she might want to know us." He helped her. I'm so proud of him.
"I pay for her education and other stuff too. She's pretty adorable." he slightly chuckled. I smile, a bit shocked because did Axton McKay actually say a kid was adorable?
"How old is she?" I ask him.
"She's three, she'll be four soon."
"I'm so proud of you Axton" I smile and his lips tug into a small smile.
"Where is she? In Paris?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
"Hawaii."
"Oh wow! Have you ever met her, Oh my God, do you have a picture of her?" I ask him eager to see this girl.
"Uh, actually yeah I do." he says showing me a picture of a cute girl, with I swear, the same eyes as Axton.
"She's adorable!" I tell him, grabbing the phone from his hands.
"She would love you." he chuckles.
"Think so?" I ask, chuckling.
"I know so." he says looking at me.
"Does, uh, does your mom know she's still alive?" I ask him and his smile drops.
"No, I don't want her knowing us, we'll hurt her." he says and I frown.
"I'm proud of you." I tell him and he smiles.
"Thank you Soph."
"Oh, Jace knows." Of course he does.
"I understand it was personal and you kept it away from me for a excusable reason."
"Ameila." I say her name and he nods.
"I love it!" I say realizing it starts with A
"As much as I'd love to sit here all day and watch you lick that chocolate syrup off the fork, I have a meeting. So, call you later?" I slowly nod.
"Have a nice day!" I yell as he walks off.
"Impossible, you're not going to be with me." I roll my eyes smiling.
"Check please!" I call out to the waitress.
"This is already paid for." she tells me. Of course it is.
"Oh, okay."
"Huge fan by the way!" she tells me and I smile.
"Thank you for supporting me. Have a nice day." I tell her, getting up.
I smile walking back to my car.
