Standing before the wrought iron gate, Karlie Kloss nervously shifted her weight from foot to foot. Her anxious hands kept absent-mindedly rubbing her rounded midriff, heart beating like a drum within her in chest. Having managed to bully her way past the initial wave of security, the second had stoutly refused her entry onto the grounds of the actual house itself. So, here she was, watching from afar as the front door of the mansion opened up and out came a masked figured. Pounding heart sinking like a stone, she saw a masculine figure with a dashing head of dark hair. Cole. Not Taylor. With a resigned walk, he gradually made his way down to her, stopping well short of the gate. Folding his arms and adopting a defensive stance, he called out to her.
"You've got a lot of balls showing up here Kloss. What? You couldn't take the hint? Blocked number. Burned letters. Unopened packages thrown out. It's been years at this point. Get it into your head that you are not welcome in this, or any of our households. Ever. The only reason we are having this conversation in person is to let you know how serious we are. How serious
she
is. Try to contact us again, and you'll be getting slapped with a restraining order. That wouldn't be too good a look for you, would it? And we all know that is all you care about. How it looks."
His words hurt, but deep down she knew everything he had said to be true. Eyes darting from window to window, she hoped to catch a glimpse of Taylor peeking out from behind a curtain. It would be one last desperate sign of hope. Something to tell herself that maybe all wasn't lost. She saw nothing. Staring back at Cole, she looked him up and down. A shiver ran through her body. He was looking good, the fabric of his shirt stretched taught over his muscles. Even a mask couldn't conceal the handsomeness of his features. The cut of his strong jaw with a hint of stubble peeking out. Emerald green eyes, normally so beautiful, instead staring daggers at her. With his sweatpants on, she could just make out the impressive telltale bulge of what she knew lay beneath. With pregnancy hormones rampaging through her system, it made her want to jump him. Right here. Right now. Or maybe that had just always been the case when it came to Taylor's longtime lover. Now fiancΓ©e.
"I'm so sorry Cole...for everything. I never meant to hurt her like that."
"Bullshit. You knew exactly what you were doing. Exactly how to twist the knife. There's...there's no coming back from a betrayal like that. And the worst part is...she really did love you. With all her heart. Every last ounce of it."
"I swear, I didn't know what I was doing. We just got to talking...and Taylor came up. He was my manager after all. We talked about lots of different things, but that's all different now. I'm sure you know. He's out. Gone. I'm not managed by Scoo-"
"Don't you dare say that fucking name anywhere near this house." Cole cut in harshly, his hand slicing through the air. "It's bad enough that you told him personal stuff, private details about Taylor, but to then try and defend him when shit really hit the fan? He's tormented her for
years.
It still tears her up every day that he got his grubby paws all over her masters, and you made sure he had all the information he needed to make it hurt as much as possible." He was breathing heavily, practically shaking with anger. "It's just...despicable. You're
despicable.
Now leave or I'll throw you myself. I don't care how pregnant you are."
"Please! I realized I fucked up. I'd never intentionally hurt Taylor. She has to know that. She has to forgive me..."
"No. She doesn't. And she won't. Goodbye Karlie. Forever. Now, get out."
The last two words were spoken with a deadly quiet before he turned his back on her and began the long walk back up to the house.
"Wait! I brought gifts! Presents! To congratulate you both on the engagement!" Karlie cried out in a last desperate effort to keep him talking.
He didn't even break his stride as he continued on his way back inside. Rooted to the spot, Karlie simply stood there, shaking. Keenly aware of the security guard's eyes on her back, she took a deep breath and steadied her trembling upper lip. Perhaps she should have worn a mask, it would have concealed so much more of her face. With a head held high, she waddled back to the car, eyes following her in total silence as she went.
The driver opened the door for her and once safely sequestered inside, concealed from the world by blackout tinted windows, her calm demeanor broke and tears began to flood down her face like a dam bursting. They slid down her high cheekbones, dripping off of her chin and landing on her rounded stomach. She'd thrown it all away. The best friendship she'd ever had. The best
