"Don't worry Ms. He will understand." I hoped James was right. I hoped once Cameron knew about this, he would at least be able to listen.

"She's gonna be out for a few hours. You should go take some fresh air."

Putting on a hoodie over my tank top, I made my way quietly out through the back door. It would be hours until Calvin would be back and Corinne would gain consciousness.

Feeling my phone vibrate in my jeans pocket, I took it out seeing James had sent me a picture.

It was Mariano Di Vaio, a famous model and fashion designer. Why was Corinne with him that day?

She's been working with him on a new clothing line.-J

James always came in handy. He always knew what I wanted to know.

I couldn't help but look at him again.
Now I remember seeing him on a magazine cover.

I had made it to the sidewalk and soon I blended into the crowd.

Out of nowhere, I bumped into someone and my phone slipped out of my hand almost dropping to the concrete sidewalk before being caught.

I looked up.
And I stared.

And I had no idea how long I stared because he felt so unreal up this close to me.

Mariano.

"I-I-I......" I stuttered.
"Sorry?" His voice.

Stop.

"No I'm sorry."
He just stared at me.
"I-I didn't see where I was going." I finished the sentence somehow.
"It's okay. Here." He handed me my phone.

He saved my phone.

(A/N: Girls love their phones lol.)

"Th-thanks by the way." I said gesturing to the phone with a smile.
"No problem." He smiled back.

His smile.

SHUT UP!

I blinked rapidly before hearing someone speak.
"Move already." I apologized the girl quietly before turning to walk away. Almost reluctantly.
"Wait."

I began walking.
"You know I would really like to know your name." He spoke following me.

"Mer-"
No I couldn't tell him.
"Why would I tell a stranger my name?" I retorted.

Turning around I saw a smirk playing on his luscious lips. I gulped.

He moved a step towards me.
"It was nice meeting you tesoro." Saying this he walked away.

Trying to wipe a ridiculous grin off my face I walked back to the apartment. I hoped Corinne would wake up soon before Calvin returned.

********

Corinne's POV:-

The first thing I felt was the heaviness at the back of my head. Groaning slightly to find my voice, I pushed my eyes open to a dim ceiling.

I blinked numerous times and my vision cleared.
"Leah?" I called out to her.

No answer.
"Leah! I need some water." I rasped out. I usually did everything myself but right now, it felt like I needed help.

Hearing movement around me, I relaxed a bit knowing she was close so she could hear me.

But then I froze.

Leah had moved in with Dylan.

She couldn't be here.

My heart started to kick into a high gear as I realised slowly but surely that it wasn't Leah and this wasn't my apartment at all.
