72. Heartbroken
Miguel sat on the chair, waiting for Edna to come out from the dressing room. He had a tired look on his face because two other guys kept bugging him.
“Don’t you think you’re so handsome to be a photographer?” A guy asked and brought his hands to touch Miguel’s face but he pushed it off.
Finally, the door of the dressing room opened and Edna came out, dressed in a long jacket.
“Let’s start the shoot, I have a lot of things to do” she muttered and went to the studio.
Miguel stood up and followed her, they met Edna and some men fixing the stage light.
“Eddy, you’re here! Come stand over here” Zita smiled and gave space for her.
She rolled her eyes and stood there then took off the jacket, revealing herself in a blue bikini.
It was a little bit exposing but showing off her flat stomach and waist curves. Miguel raised his head to look at her and the first thing that came to his mind was so hot.
His camera froze in the air and kept staring.
“Should I borrow a speaker and ask you to take the damn picture!” Edna’s voice brought him back to reality.
“Shit, I’m sorry” he apologized and got his camera ready.
“Yeah, look all you want but you’d never have what you see” She rolled her eyes.
“I don’t even wish to have it, there are way better ones like Regina Wilson” he scoffed and Edna forgot she was posing for a picture.
“You!!” She squeezed her face ready to blast him with insults but he clicked the camera, capturing her like that.

D•S DESIGNS★
“How prepared are all of you for the sales party tomorrow?” Sunny asked all the fashion designers when she got to their class.
“Very prepared, we can’t wait to ace that party and bring in a good name for DS” Jasper smiled and Cynthia rolled her eyes at him.
“When you make a good name for yourself then think about DS” she scoffed and Jasper turned to look at her.
“Do you perhaps have a personal problem with me?” He asked.
Seeing the two wanted to start arguing, Skyler excused herself from the class.
“Skyler! I mean ma’am..” Sunny went after her.
Skyler paused and released a sigh before turning to her.
“There’s no need for the ma’am, can’t you just treat me like your student? It doesn’t matter if I’m married to the boss or not!” She squeezed her face angrily.
“I’m sorry forgive me, I wanted to ask if you’re fine, you didn’t look too well earlier” Sunny looked worried.
“I’m fine, can you stop paying extra attention to me? Gosh!” Skyler rolled her eyes and walked past Sunny to the female’s restroom.
When she got there, she stared at her face in that mirror before raising her excess makeup off.
Truly, she didn’t look fine and it was obvious without makeup but she needed to do this, Mason was just one day away from knowing she had another baby for him.
She placed her hands on her stomach and rubbed on it softly.
“Hang in there baby, don’t make mummy look sick, mummy promised that after tomorrow, she’d tell your daddy about you” she whispered.
Skyler then applied more makeup on her face and stepped out as if nothing happened.
When she got out, she froze at the sight she saw. A familiar car stopped and Felix came down, Lilian rushed to hug him, they both kissed and she entered his car.
“Why is he with her when a sales party competition is starting tomorrow? What is he even up to? ” she thought to herself as she stared into space.

EVENING; DELGADOS’ MANSION★
The family was doing what brings them together at night.
They were having dinner.
“Anyone knows why I’m not seeing that stubborn little head tonight for dinner?” Ivy asked as she looked around, she was referring to Carson.
“Prolly broke up with his girlfriend or something, I heard teenagers act like this when their relationship fails” Hudson laughed and Emily rolled her eyes at him.
“I should go upstairs and see what’s up with him,” she muttered and stood up.
Edna was just frowning, she kept using her fork to play with her food without eating.
“So tomorrow is the sales party, Sky, you’ve waited so long for this, how hard are you prepared?” Grandpa Mario asked but Skyler was busy thinking of other things.
“Sky girl” the old man looked at her.
“Beautiful, Grandpa needs to hear from you” Mason whispered to her and she came back to earth.
“Nothing Grandpa, I’m just a bit nervous yeah” She nodded her head.
“It’s understandable, don’t eat too much and go to bed early but keep your mind calm when you sleep,” Grandpa Mario said softly.
“Hmmm..” Skyler nodded.
“Sister-in-law, good luck, it’s starting tomorrow morning so don’t feed yourself with nervousness,” Ivy said and Skyler nodded.
“Good luck Skyler,” Jacob smiled at her.
“I’m sending luck to” Hudson followed.
“And me too” Edna muttered and everyone looked at her, she rolled her eyes and faced her food.
Mason smiled at her and rubbed her thighs under the table.
“Don’t be afraid to be beautiful, I’ll be watching you” he whispered.
Skyler stared at his face for a while before smiling back at him.

CARSON’S ROOM★
Carson was lying on his bed and sketching anything that came to his mind in his sketchbook when a knock sounded on his door.
“Who’s there?” He asked but Emily opened the door and stepped in.
“Oh Mom” he muttered and continued what he was doing.
“Carson, why didn’t you come downstairs for dinner?” She asked and sat on the edge of his bed.
“Because I’m not hungry” he muttered.
Emily rolled her eyes, took the sketchbook from him, and stared at it, the sketchbook had a big heart with a sword in between.
“You’re heartbroken?” Emily asked and he nodded.
“James broke up with me because he was tired of hiding” he muttered.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Come here” Emily moved closer to him and pulled him for a warm hug.
“I know how that must feel for you, your very first heartbreak. My baby son is growing up” She hugged him softly.
“What should I do mom, I don’t want us to break up, ever” Carson muttered.
“I wouldn’t interfere in your teenage life because I want you to enjoy it. But when you’re ready to tell your grandpa about your sex, I’d be in support but do it because you want to do it, don’t do it because you’re pressured” Emily said softly.
Carson just nodded, feeling too tired to say anything.
“You should come downstairs and eat something even if it’s an ice cream, it will help you relax better” She patted his shoulders before standing up and leaving the room.
Carson only just sighed and relaxed his head back on his bed.

NEXT MORNING; LIGHTHOUSE HIGH★
“Just a first day in school after being dumped by your first boyfriend, it’s nothing big” Carson muttered to himself as he stepped inside the school.
He got to the hallway and took a deep breath as he went to his locker. When he took his book and tried to leave, his eyes caught the last thing he expected to see.
It was James and Simon ( a friend of Carson for those that have forgotten ). Simon was resting at the back of his locker while James was in front of him and using one of his hands to cage him.
Carson didn’t know what they were saying but Simon was blushing and he knew Simon had always been crushing on James.
He squeezed his face in an angry and ugly way before going to meet them.
