D: You don't have any creamer, do you?
C: No sorry. But I'm heading out to the grocery store anyway I could get you some.
D: No, it's fine. I'll have it black then.
Derek joined me in my...excuse me...our dining table and we had breakfast together. He moved in a week ago after I called Bridget and found out she's still friends with the boys. I left the apartment that day and headed to the only place I felt comfortable these days. Mark's tattoo shop.
Derek happened to be there and if I'm completely honest I was glad I met him again. I found out he just moved back to LA after spending a year in South Africa. He was an artist, he painted pictures and had to find a new place to stay. I offered him the spare room in my apartment. I didn't think he would take the offer but after seeing the apartment he was positively pleased. I figured it was a great bargain. I got a new friend I could hang out with and didn't have to pay all the rent.
D: Is that all you're having for breakfast? I thought you were on a break?
C: On a break from modeling, yes. Doesn't mean I can eat like a pig now.
D: How come?
C: How come what?
D: I mean why aren't you working as a model anymore?
C: I needed a break. That's all.
D: Really? Why do I think that there's more to it?
C: There isn't.
D: You know, I'm not a curious person but I figured since we're living together I would...I don't know...learn more about you.
C: You're better off not knowing, trust me.
The phone rang and I mentally thanked the person, who ever it was, for rescuing me.
Hey, good morning.
Have you seen the news lately?
No, why? Should I?
Don't be mad, just giving you a head start.
What?
One Direction are on their way to the US for some promo appearances.
Okay...
That was it. I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
D: Who was it?
C: A friend.
D: You've got weird friends.
C: You have no idea.
D: No, but I'd love to know.
C: Another time.
D: Chloe you can't hide your past.
C: I'm not.
D: Okay.
I cleared the table and did the dishes while Derek got ready to head to his studio.
C: Will you be home for dinner?
D: Why? Are you planning to cook something?
C: In fact I am.
