Chapter 7:
I Don't Care
Things started to get serious between Yasmin and Cade really fast. The press began speculating whether or not they were a thing. They finally made it known at the Grammys.
The Rock Angelz were in their limo as they were driven to their first big awards show. They all wore beautiful dresses, Sasha in a red formal dress with a split up the side, Cloe in a blueish green mermaid dress, Jade in a black dress that was short in the front and long in the back, and Yasmin wore a bergundy dress with an intricate black flower design and a plunging neckline.
They were accompanied by Cade, Cameron, and Koby who all wore fine tailored suits.
Cloe held up a wine glass. "To all of our awards nominations!"
They all toasted and drank the wine. The a Rock Angelz were up for best band and Cade was up for best male artist. They were also against each other for best album.
"May the best man win girls," Cade said with a smirk.
"You mean best woman," Jade said elbowing him.
"So they don't know you two are together right?" Koby asked.
"Well they don't know for sure," Cade said.
"What will they say?" Yasmin asked.
"What they say about everyone. They'll be shocked, obsessed, create a couple name for us, then they'll move on."
The limo pulled up to the red carpet and stopped.
"Here we go," Sasha said.
As soon as they stepped out the place erupted into cheers and applause and screams. Fans reached out trying to get their attention. Cameras flashed as photographers tried to get the best picture. Reporters started asking them questions immediately.
One of the things that surprised them the most was seeing Yasmin on the arm of Cade. Everyone especially wanted to get pictures of that. Then Cade did something no one ever expected. He dipped Yasmin down and kissed her.
Everyone screamed even louder at that.
"Come on you lovebirds," Sasha said leading them into the awards show.
They sat at their reserved seats and the show started hosted by Kevin Hart who kept the crowd laughing the entire time.
The Rock Angelz won best band and Cade won best male artist. Then they all sat in anticipation as they announced the nominees for best album.
"And the winner for best album is...!" Kevin Hart said. He opened the envelope. "The Rock Angelz!"
The crowd erupted into applause. The Rock Angelz all went back up to the stage to accept the award. Yasmin went to the mic as the was instructed by Byron.
"Thank you so much for this award," she said. "We worked so hard on this album and it means so much to us to have this award."
Sasha wished she could have said something. Why did Yasmin have to have all the glory?
"We'd like to thank our friends, our families, and our amazing manager Byron Powell..."
Sasha resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Screw Byron and his obsession with Yasmin.
"Thank you so much!" Yasmin said. Then they went back to their seats.
*WW*
Everyone became obsessed with Yasmin and Cade as usual and came up the name Yasmade for them. However, the rest of the Rock Angelz didn't exactly trust him.
Cade was somewhat of a player in hollywood. In the past he'd dated Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Demi Lovato. The Rock Angelz were now worldwide super stars, who's to say he wasn't just dating Yasmin for the publicity?
Yasmade were a thing for several months and her friends still weren't buying it and they decided it was time to take it upon themselves to tell Yasmin how they felt.
One day they were sitting in a hot tub at the salon for some much needed rest and relaxation after several concerts.
"We went to Vegas last weekend and we had the most amazing dinner at the Monte Carlo. We're totally moving in together..." Yasmin gushed telling them all about the amazing things her and Cade did together.
"And he's totally serious about you?" Cloe asked.
"Of course he is!" Yasmin said. "He said I'm his one and only."
"And how many other girls has he said that about?"
"What are you saying?" Yasmin said defensively.
"We're saying that Cade isn't exactly known to be the most loyal person ever," Jade said.
"He's totally loyal!"
"Oh really?"
"Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter! He's not that kind of guy."
"Look, all we're saying is that we'd be careful if we were you," Sasha said. "A guy like that doesn't change his ways that quickly."
"All of you can just go to hell!" Yasmin said getting out of the jacuzzi.
"Yas..." Cloe said trying to calm her down.
"No, you don't know him like I do Cloe! None of you do! I trust him and I love him!"
With that she grabbed her stuff and ran off. Her friends exchanged a look feeling even more concerned.
After leaving the spa she went to Cade's house. Her friends didn't know what they were talking about. She loved Cade and he loved her. They needed each other and that was all that mattered.
She got to the house and unlocked the door knowing he wouldn't mind. "Cade?" She called.
She heard voices and found him sitting on the living room couch laughing with Ariana Grande. The two stopped when they saw her and looked up.
"Oh hey baby," Cade said.
"Hi Yasmin," Ariana said.
"Hi...what's going on here?" She asked slowly. Were her friends right?
"Ariana and I were writing a song together. Strictly business, it's for my new album," Cade explained.
Yasmin let out a breath. "That's cool, can't wait to hear it."
"Actually I should probably go," Ariana said standing up.
"You sure?" Cade asked.
She picked up her purse and flipped her ponytail over her shoulder. "Yeah, I'll leave you two alone. We'll work more tomorrow."
After she left Yasmin went over and sat on the couch next to Cade and kissed him.
"I hope that didn't bother you, it really was just business," Cade said.
"It's fine baby," Yasmin said. Her friends didn't know what they were talking about. Why would Cade ever be unfaithful to her?
*WW*
The next week Yasmin was at her house preparing to move in with Cade the next day. All of a sudden her doorbell rang and her friends were there.
"What's up guys?" She asked.
"There's something you need to know," Cloe said.
"What's with all the boxes?" Jade asked looking around.
"I told you, I'm moving in with Cade." She led them to the kitchen table. "What's up?"
"You still trust your sweet Cade?" Sasha said.
"Of course I do. Why...?"
Cloe out a magazine on the table. On the front was a picture of Cade sitting outside of a restaurant with his ex Kendall Jenner. They were sitting close and smiling. They seemed to be having a good time together. The headline said Cade Back with Kendall? Where's Yasmin?
Yasmin felt like her world was crumbling around her. This couldn't be true. "That can't be...this could mean anything, they're wrong!"
"There was even video footage," Jade said.
"No..." Yasmin said feeling like she'd cry.
"We didn't want this to happen Yas. We're so sorry," Cloe said.
Her friends stayed for most of the night to comfort her and the next day was the day she was supposed to be moving in with Cade but of course that wasn't happening anymore. Still the next morning he was there with a moving truck.
"Hey Yas, are you ready...?"
"I'd never move in with you if my life depended on it!" Yasmin exclaimed.
Cade was shocked. "What? Why?"
"You think I don't know?! You were out with your ex Kendall yesterday! How could you do that to me?!"
"Yasmin I would never...Kendall and I are just friends...!"
"Just save it! I can't believe I ever trusted you! I never want to see you again!"
She slammed the door in his face.
*WW*
She didn't hear anything from him the next few couldn't stop crying but maybe it was for the best.
But the next day she received a bouquet of roses on her doorstep. The note said it was from him. She didn't threw them away.
The same thing happened the next day but she threw them away again.
She received flowers every day for the next two weeks. They said things like "call me" and "I miss you." She stopped throwing them away and her house was starting to get crowded. Finally she just went to his house.
"Hey," he said when he opened the door.
"If I talk to you will you stop sending me flowers every day?"
"Probably."
They went into the house.
"Yas, I swear to god I never cheated in you. Kendall and I dated two years ago, we're just friends now. That's all it was, two friends going to lunch together." He held her hands and looked into her eyes. "I love you. I've never loved anyone as much as I love you. Please forgive me."
She decided he seemed sincere. After all, the past few days were hell without him. They needed each other like they needed water. She kissed him. "I forgive you. And I love you."
*WW*
Her friends were shocked that she took him back. They still thought it was a bad idea.
Yasmin wrote a new song the third on their second album. Her friends decided to sing it grudgingly and Yasmin invited acade to come watch them record it.
Cade sat in the recording studio on the couch while the Rock Angelz recorded the song. He'd never heard it before, he didn't even know Yasmin had written it until that day. But the more he listened to it he liked it.
"When we met, I knew then there was something cool about you
Even though some of my friends didn't notice it at all
You and me, all alone, took a walk and started talking
We stayed out all night counting all the stars
I don't care what they say, I don't care what they do
'Cause they all fade away when it's just me and you
Well it's more than a crush, an impossible rush
I don't care what they say when you're there, I don't care
All my friends think you're weird, but they don't know much about you
While they just disappear when you're hanging out with us
So your hair is a mess? They don't know how good you treat me
I pay no attention 'cause I know who you are
I don't care what they say, I don't care what they do
'Cause they all fade away when it's just me and you
Well it's more than a crush, an impossible rush
I don't care what they say when you're there, I don't care
Tell me stories, paint a picture
Hang it in the sky (in the sky)
Tell no lies and keep no secrets
Time stands still as days go by...!"
