I’m Dedicated To You

“Did you want to sleep with me?” Bradley says and that halted my steps and I looked at him bewildered.

“I didn’t mean that, I mean you can sleep inside my room so, I can take care of you” he explained with a bashful look and I can’t help but have a stiff laugh because of his expression.

“Don’t worry Mr. Hale I will be fine without sleeping with you?” I say using his earlier words against him and I witnessed the most epic expression on Bradley’s face that anyone in the country will kill to see.

“Then I think I will go into my room now so, Mr. Hale you don’t have to worry about me so much”.

“Ok goodnight Gina”.

“Goodnight Mr. Hale,” I replied.

I don’t think I can ever get used to this magnificent room, I think of changing into my night dress but I remembered that I didn’t have anything I can change into yet so, I decided to sleep in the clothes that Tara gave me.

I lay down on my queen-sized bed to sleep and I reminisced about all of the events that have happened these past few days but I decided to sleep and think about how to get out of this predicament I am in the next day. I switched off my bed lamp but when I faced the ceiling I noticed a skyline design with a moon and star shining bright and I can’t help but smile about the beautiful view. It didn’t take long before I fell asleep.

OLIVIA AND VICTORIA POV

The three-bedroom duplex the girl lives in is nearly furnished nicely and painted in white and blue colors.

“Can you please stop looking at the window and come and sit down?” Victoria says.

“I want to check if those trouble-looming bastards are still out there,” Olivia says, stretching her neck out the window to see if the reporters are still there.

“You know they can’t leave our place anytime soon you know how you guys work”.

“Yeah you don’t have to worry they will leave soon” I added.

“I just hope Gina is taking all of this well because most people are against her and even her agency lays her down already,” Victoria says and I can’t help but also agree with her.

“She has gone through a lot to be one of the most successful actresses in the entertainment industry but just one scandal is enough to make her the most hated person in the country she must feel so devastated and confused, she doesn’t have anyone to stand by her to get through this trial, “Olivia says tearing up.

“But she has us, Ollie”.

“I know but we can’t help much even with our media influence didn’t you see how the scandal is spreading like wildfire and how some people are spurting lies on the internet. I am sure it’s that spoiled young master that is behind it”.

“If the spoiled young master is behind it, don’t you think we have someone that can help us”.

“Who?” Olivia asked, raising her eyebrow because she doesn’t know anyone they can bombard with their worries.

“Bradley Hale,” Victoria says and Olivia looks at her hesitating with a curious look because she isn’t expecting Tori of all people to think like that.

“Tori what are you saying”.

“Let’s ask Bradley Hale for help,” she says.

“You want to ask Bradley Hale for help when we both know that you hate getting involved with high society but now what’s happening”.

“I already crossed the line when reporters already flocked the house of the people Gina could stay with and I asked Bradley Hale to accommodate her so, it won’t hurt to go against my principle one more time,” Victoria says closing her eyes and I possibly know that it may be hard on her to make that kind of decision.

“When we are growing up on the cold streets of the city we promised to stay out of trouble but why did I feel that trouble is already looming around us,” Olivia says laughing Victoria joined and the laughs later turned to sobs.

“What do you think is going to happen to Gina now,” Olivia asked, cleaning the tears on her face.

“I am sure she is going to get through, you know she is a strong girl”.

“Yeah, she is,” Olivia affirmed.

“Let’s go to sleep. Best so, we can visit Gina tomorrow. I am already stressed out from the recent events”.

“Yeah goodnight and please make sure you get enough sleep because your dark circles are making you look scary,” Olivia says tauntingly rushing into her room.

“Fuck you b***h” Victoria cursed behind her.

GINA’S POV

A girl is seen wandering on the busy street of the city and people are seen casting disgusting stares her way when she had enough of it, she started running to only God knows.

When she runs out of breath she stops and studies her surrounding she noticed that where she stood is full of many billboards with her pictures and which put a smile on her face but that smile suddenly fades when her pictures on the billboards started getting replaced with other’s pictures till there are no traces of her and the girl started sweating upon the realization and when she started gasping for air…..

I woke up from my dream or should I say nightmare gasping for air and I felt scared because that nightmare may be my reality that thought saddened me and when I touched my face I noticed my face is already tear-stained.

I checked the alarm clock beside the bed and I saw that it was just 4 a. m. I decided not to doze again because I don’t want to have another nightmare. I lay my head down on my pillow and just stare at the skyline design on the ceiling. I thought back on my journey in the entertainment industry trying to pass the time till morning.

The ray of sunlight shining into the room hits my face and it makes me make a grumpy sound. I opened my eyes slowly trying to find out the source of my discomfort and I noticed a movement in my room. I noticed it was a human movement and not just one person I think they are five but the only face I recognized is Bradley’s.

“What’s going on here,” I asked looking for an explanation for the commotion happening in my room.

“You have a fever” I heard Bradley say slowly while holding my hand.

“Fever but I was fine a while ago,” I say, not believing the theory that I might be sick.

“You were some degrees over the normal temperature Gina,” he says and I noticed a doctor touching my head.

“ohhhhhh”.

“Why did you sleep in that wet clothes you could have changed into something else”.

“I don’t have anything to change,” I reply.

“But there are so many night dresses in your dressing room,” he says and I was about to ask what dressing room but I was interrupted by a doctor telling Bradley that I am fine now and I just need to keep resting because I need to regain my energy because of my concluded surgery.

“Ok, I will make sure to take care of her”.

“Hmmm miss Grey” the doctor called. I just noticed that he looks so handsome in his doctor’s coat but no matter how excited I felt I just nodded my head at him because it feels so hard to even talk.

“I am a really big fan of yours so, I was thinking maybe if I can get an autograph”.

“Yeah su…” I managed to say but Bradley cut me off and he shooed the doctor away leaving me with Bradley alone in the room.

“I am sorry,” Bradley says and I looked at him, raising an eyebrow and asking why he was sorry.

“I think you are in this mess because of me, if my car didn’t hit you then you won’t be in this mess,” he says and I want to say I am even more thankful because if I am not staying with him I don’t know where I could stay in that I won’t have to worry about when reporters could badge in but I don’t have the energy to refute his claims I just nodded my head acknowledging his claims.

“Can I please get a glass of water?” I asked to clear my throat to show how dry it is. Bradley quickly got me one and I can’t help but get suspicious about his attitude towards me but I decided to brush it off just like always.

“You don’t have to stress yourself about me, you can just send Tara or ma’am Peller to come here,” I say after finishing the water with his help because I still have a cast on my hand.

“No, it’s fine I can take care of you”.

“Doesn’t Mr. Hale have something to do?” I say because why will the mighty Bradley Hale take care of me when he is so busy taking care of the group affairs?

“You are my work”…..
