"Here's a picture of my………niece. Sophie. Like I said I'm in a hurry for the doll……Mr.…..?"
Massie handed him the picture. He examined the picture before answering. "Mr. Hotz. Josh Hotz to be exact. Long time no see, Massie."
Massie backed up a few steps and was about to run, when she burst out laughing. He gave her a questioning look. "It's just the thought of Josh Hotz, owing Bratz. It's hilarious."
He joined in laughing, but stopped after at least a minute. "Why'd you leave Mass? Do you have any idea what it did to the P.C. or Derrick more importantly? Actually, we all were hurt."
"I'll tell you another time." Massie promised. "You can't tell anyone I'm here. I can almost promise you they'd all kill me. For now I just need that doll."
"Okay, I'll give the doll to you tomorrow. Slice of Heaven, 11:30." He said standing up. "Now Ms. Block if you'll excuse me I have a meeting with another client."
Massie nodded and walked out of the room. She walked into the elevator, tapping her foot impatiently. When the elevator dinged for the ground floor, Massie ran out – well as fast as someone in 3 inch heels can, and go in the limo. The driver took her to the hotel she was staying at.
When she got in her room, she took a long, relaxing shower. She put on some sweats and her hair in a messy bun. Her iPhone started ringing. She dashed to her Prada bag, to answer it.
"Hello?" Massie said with a little yawn.
"It's Anna. Bad news and good news." Anna said. Massie exhaled into the phone. "First, you need to move to Westchester to be closer to New York, for your magazine. Good news, we are making a huge house for you and Sophie. A pool, swings for Sophie, spa, game room, and more fun stuff for Sophie and you. Massie understand that this is for your career. Ignore the past for now."
"Anna. I'm trying really hard not to scream." Massie stated. "I'll ignore what happened, as long as Sophie agrees to coming and living here."
"Yes. She loves the idea of growing up where her mom grew up. We'll be flying in tomorrow in the private jet at about 4 o'clock. See you then, bye!" Anna said, hanging up.
Massie put her iPhone on the little table, and thought out tomorrow. 11:30 a.m. she had to meet Josh for Sophie's doll. Then 4:00 p.m. she had to pick Sophie up. A million possibilities that she would run into someone she didn't want to see. She sighed and went to bed, overly tired.
-O-
TI's Whatever you like woke Massie out of her dreamless sleep. She hit the clock a few times before it turned off. Massie bolted to get dressed, grabbed her iPhone and purse, and then hurried down to the limo.
When she got to Slice of Heaven, Massie completely ignored the hostess, and sat across from Josh. He handed her the Sophie doll. It look like her only in an older version. Her dirty blonde curls had grown out making it wavy, but in a controllable way. Her amber eyes looked stunning. Massie's eyes watered.
"It's so beautiful and so much like her." Massie said, wiping away the tears, before anyone could see. "Thanks so much. She's going to love it."
"No problem." Josh stated leaning back. "It is too bad that you can't stay longer. I'm sure everyone would love to see you again. Especially Leesh."
Massie bit her bottom lip and sighed. "About that I'm moving here, to be closer to New York in case of any business in New York anywhere. Believe me it was totally last minute."
Josh practically lit up like a light bulb. "That's great Mass! Would you like to come over, to our house tonight? Just to catch up on old times."
"When you say out? Did you and Leesh get married?" Massie practically shrieked. He nodded yes. "That's great! I guess we'll come. Better just to get it over with."
"What do you mean we'll? Shouldn't Sophie be with her mom, on her birthday?" Josh asked.
"She will be duh. After all she's my daught-" Massie's eyes widened in shock at her slip. "Niece! Anna, my cousin will be moving here with me, because she's my assistant too."
Josh blinked. He looked at the doll. Blink. Looked at the table. Blink. Looked at Masse. Blink. Doll. Blink. Table. Blink. Massie. His eyes widened. "That's why you left…..Derrick…..Sophie."
Massie silently nodded and looked out the window. "I didn't want to embarrass him. His soccer career would've started in a few years. There's no way we could've raised a kid. So I left, made something of myself, and made money for Sophie.
Josh suddenly looked angry. Like steam coming out of ears angry.
I'm going to leave off there. This time I'm keeping my promise. I further promise longer chapters! I have the whole thing written out though, so no worries. I just think that would be a good place to leave off and my dad will come home any second and I'm grounded. -,- yay, right? Layta
