Maybelline I felt the lightest, feathery kiss on my forehead, and a slow warmth spread through me as I stirred awake. My eyes fluttered open to find myself wrapped in Grayson’s arms, his embrace tender and protective, and I couldn’t help but smile at the comfort of being held by him all night. I only came in to kiss him goodnight yesterday’s night, after that he insisted that he wanted me to sleep by his side. I wanted it too, so he didn’t have to persuade me for too long. Here we are."Good morning, my sunshine," he murmured, his voice deep and husky from sleep. His eyes sparkled as he looked down at me, and I reached up, my fingers tracing slow, loving patterns along his jaw, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath my touch."I could get used to waking up like this," I whispered, and he chuckled softly, his hand moving to cradle the back of my head as he threaded his fingers through my hair with care.“Then move in with me,” he said, his voice a quiet, earnest plea that sent butter

Grayson. “Since when?!”“Why didn’t you tell us!” Becky exclaimed immediately. I told her that Maybelline and I are dating already. We were on video call, my phone was on a table top tripod with my laptop beside it.“Well, I was going to. But there was never a perfect time,” I said to her, her lips stretched into a smile. “Finally. I’m happy for you ” she giggled and I nodded slowly. “I’m happy too,” suddenly the screen splitted into two and Katrina’s Video appeared. “What are the both of you discussing,” Katrina said as she raised a piece of pancake and bit into it. “We’re discussing how to sell you off. Since you no longer know how to keep quiet,” I replied immediately, the corner of her lips raised in a small sneer as she bit into her pancake again and chewed slowly. “Guys, I have exciting news for you!”“What is it?! You met someone new?!” I replied not matching her energy, I definitely knew that was what she was on to, her eyes slowly rolled to me and she glared at me.“I

Maybelline. After Work. “When you said something nice, I didn’t think that it’d be this — Nice” Grayson said after he pulled out my chair and rounded the table to sit. He carefully sat like the chair would break under his full weight. I chuckled lightly at this.“I know this is not what you’re used to, but their food is good and not expensive” I said to him and he nodded slowly in reply. “If you say so,” he replied, shortly after, the owner of the shop walked up to us. Her eyes lit up immediately when she saw me.“Belline,” she called, my lips stretched into a wide smile as I got up to my feet and pulled her into a small hug.“It’s been ages. I hope you’re good!” She said as we disengaged and I nodded in reply, my lips still stretched into a wide smile. She slowly turned to look at Grayson and then backed up at me.“You came with someone today, who is he?!” She asked.“He’s the Pre …” My gaze slowly flickered to Grayson, he sighed slowly and gently looked away from me.“He’s my boy

Maybelline.Next day. Wednesday 8:00am“Good Morning Cupcake,” I heard Grayson say behind me. I turned to see him place his bag on the mini dinning table in the kitchen and walked up to me. I flashed a smile at him and he stepped forward and placed a long lingering kiss on my lips. “Did you sleep well?!,” he asked and I nodded slowly, my smile not leaving my face. I turned back to the coffee machine, grabbed a cup and handed it over to him. “Here,” I whispered, he took it from my hands, leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.“Thank you sweetness,” he said. I blushed at his words as I lifted the cup of coffee up to my lips and took a sip. I was somebody’s girlfriend now and I had no idea how to behave. Fred didn’t really date me, we were just really close friends and then he asked me to marry him. He married me at twenty one and practically ruined my life, like I was some old hag. Well I’m thankful for how my life turned out, if I hadn’t married him, maybe I wouldn’t have m

Maybelline.Later in the evening.“I hope you enjoyed your date with your personal assistant,” I snorted as Grayson walked into the living room. He paused in his tracks and slowly turned to me. I crossed my legs and folded my hands across my chest leaning into the chair. “What are you talking about?!” He asked as he slowly turned to face me. I didn’t respond, I simply got up to my feet, picked up my laptop and headed upstairs. He reached forward immediately and grabbed my hands, he pulled me back and made me face him. “If someone should be angry between you and me May, it should be me,” he whispered, I begrudgingly folded my hands across my chest, my face held in a tight scowl.“Well, I’m not the one going on dates with my assistant!”“Date?! Katrina?! Where did you get that from?!” “Almost everyone at work knows you and Katrina do not just have a work relationship,”“And I saw the both of you getting into your car hand in hand,” “Coming right after you said you have feelings for

Maybelline.Meanwhile,I turned off the faucet as soon as I was done washing my hands. I placed my hands under the hand dryer to dry. Just as I was about to leave the door open, I looked up at it to see Loretta walk into the bathroom. Her looks smug as ever, she took slow confident steps into the bathroom. “I should have known. The company chose you so early on the job to be his Anchor. That was suspicious,”“I’m not surprised though. Girls like you seduce their way into fame,” she said, I placed my thumb and my other fingers on my forehead and rubbed it slowly with an exhausted sigh. The last thing I wanted right now is to argue with Loretta.“Look, Loretta if you have nothing to do. I have a lot going on right now. I can’t deal with your tantrums,” I said to her calmly. I could tell that she was very triggered that she has never gotten a reaction out of me, even with all of her nasty behavior. And I honestly wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of me going crazy over her child
