ETIENNE'S POV
I enter my office irritated.I need to do something.Maybe I can ask her out ,get laid and get her out of my system?But I don't think that is going to be enough.She looks so innocent and pure.Last night when I held her I cannot decipher my feelings for her.I felt so protective of her.My heart took a leap when she fainted.All I could think at that moment was my urge to protect her.
I was brought out from my reverie when my phone rang.It was my mother,the only person that can help me in this situation maybe.I picked up my phone.
Before I could say anything,she said
"Just dont be angry Tien,but I have invited Kathy for today's dinner."
Silence.
"You are surely going to come right?"she said in a small voice.That is emotional blackmailing mom.I raked my hand on my hair."Fine mum I'll come,but next time don't do anything without asking me."I said in my stern voice.
"Thank you so much sweety.I knew you would never say no to me.Love you son."
"Love you too mum.."
I kept my hands on my face and leaned on my desk.My mum is too sweet, she doesn't know that Kathy is a brat.I just don't want anyone to hurt my parents feeling.And I am too sure that Kathy is not the one for me.I hope today's dinner will bring a side of hers which my parents are unaware.
"Someone is need of a drink".I looked up and saw my best friend Drake.
"Hey man."
"Wow you sound like a cornered rat.So spill.What got your knickers in a twist?"I rolled my eyes.
"I'll tell you everything but Lemme drink
first."He raised an eyebrow perfectly knowing I never drink so early.
"You want some?" I offered.He shook his head.I poured myself a glass of vodka and gulped it down.Then I spilled everything about Natalia.
He listened raptly.After sometimes he said:
"Tien you like her don't you?"
I quickly nodded.
"Dude so what is the problem ?Ask her out and maybe date her.I know you don't date anyone but lets just give a try huh?Who can say no to the infamous Etienne Martin?" He teased.
"But what about Kathy?"
"Dude both of us know that Kathy is a bitch.She only wants to be with you because of your status symbol.Don't worry Sarah and William are very understanding.They 'll see right through her farce."I nodded once again.I know Drake is right.He is like a brother to me so I trusted his judgement.
"I'm getting late dude..tell me how everything goes?"
"Later."
That evening I took Kathy to my parents' house.My parents' home is like a small mansion with lush green garden and fountain.I spent my entire childhood here.I have many memories attached to this place.My parents greeted us at the gate.My mum went to hug Kathy.But instead she air kissed her and said "Oh no my dress will be creased."My mother frowned but didn't say anything.Well I guess I don't have to do anything at all.
We went inside ,I hugged my Dad.
"Hey ,dad how are you?How is everything going?"
"Everything is good son."My mother interrupted saying.
"Honey Can you help me?"
"I'll come mum."I saw Kathy busy with her phone not even offering my poor mother to help.This is going to be a long night.
My mum cooked lasagna,steak, steamy rice for dinner and brownie for dessert.
We started eating.
"So Katherine what are your plans for future?"My mother asked politely.
"Its Kathy by the way,And I want to pursue my career in modelling."She replied arrogantly.Kathy was eating only salad.
My mum frowned
"Katherine why aren't you eating lasagna?"Kathy huffed hearing her full name.
"Because I don't want to turn my body in the likes of you peop..".she retorted angrily.My mum was silent.How dare she ?I held back my own tongue to disgrace a guest.Honestly I want to let my parents see Kathy's bitchy side but I could not let her insult my parents.
"I mean I am a model.Surely,you know how are nutritionist go mad the moment we put on an inch here and there?"Kathy spoke politely.
But the damage has been done.Not to sound as an asshole.But I was glad my mother could see Katherine's true face.
The dinner table was silent after that.My father conversed with me ocassionally.
After dinner my mum served the mouth-watering brownie.Kathy refused to eat anymore.
"Where can I wash my hands?"Katherine enquired.
"The left side of the living room" replied my mother curtly.
After a minute we heard a crashing sound.We hurried towards the kitchen and saw Kathy has broken my mum's favourite china dishes.
"Damn Sarah why did you have to keep the dishes in the middle?"We glared at Kathy.All of us know my mum is a neat freak.Kathy stormed out angrily not even offering her help.I stayed back and help my mother pick up the broken pieces.She sighed and said "I'm not so sure about Katherine..She's a mannerless bitch".I was stunned,never have I heard my mother abusing.Internally I was relieved from my mother's comment.
I relished my dessert and made small talk with my parents.Katherine didn't even try to speak to them anymore.Even my parents avoided her.
I left my parents house,dropped Kathy much to her dismay.
"Why cant I stay with you today?"She whined like a brat.
"Because I'm damn tired Kathy.Go home and take rest."
She pouted.
But I didn't budge.
Finally,slightly pissed,she stepped out of the car and made her way inside her building.
I didn't want to involve her anymore in my life so swiftly I drove off to my penthouse.I thought how my night would have been different had it been my Natalia?"
"My"..woah where did that come from?I really need to ask her out..But how??"
Hey guys..Are you enjoying?Lets see how destiny works for them.

NATALIA'S POV'Open your mind before your mouth'.If only I would have followed my own rule.After the meeting I was walking on a trance dreading my impending doom.If only I would have not opened that hole on my face.After school I went to the washroom.Quickly I combed my unruly hair,applied pink lip gloss and tried to uncreased my outfit.Though in vain.Without wasting anymore time I left for Martin International.My school admin has already taken prior appointment as Mr.smarty pants is so busy.There words not mine.I reached the aforesaid building.I was very nervous as I made my way to the reception.I prayed that somehow Etienne wouldn't be there and I would give the invitation card to his personal assistant."Hello I am Natalia Taylor.I have an appointment with Mr.Martin."The receptionist with a warm smile replied."Just a minute please"."Aah..yes Ms Taylor,Mr.Martin is expecting you.Kindly go to the 34th floor.""Thank you."I made my way to the elevator and took a deep breath.I ent

Maybe.Maybe I am a hopeless romantic and actually believe in happily ever after.

DATE NIGHT "No!Nat you are not wearing that".Zita screamed. "Nat are you competing with Etienne's grandmom? Your dress should help Etienne to be glued to you entire night."She had a glint in her eyes. I held out yet another dress. "He is not taking you to the sun
NATALIA'S POV "A woman's best friend is a chunk of super heated carbon." Etienne was called by one of his associates while I moved around admiring the piece of art displayed.Well the art was more in the lines of different jewelleries ranging from sapphires,rubies and diamonds.The place was swarming with women adorned with elegant outfits and extra polished face. Some were pouting in front of their sugar daddies while some were shooting envious glances to each other.I squeaked when someone hold me from behind.The musky cologne send my frenzied mind to calmness when I realized it was Etienne. "Did you like any of those?"He asked me seriously. "Yeah the one towards the end." "Which one?" "Come I'll show you." I took his hands and showed him the emerald necklace carved intricately with small diamonds. "It kind of reminded me of your eyes.Shit."I blurted out and closed my eyes. "Oh really,you were thinking about me.I should be flattered."He chuckled. "You were not suppose to hear
Soul meet souls on lover's lips. ---P.B.ShelleyNATALIA'S POVMy date night was going very good was as understatement.Even though that blondie aka Katherine tried to ruin it,her plan backfired.And I am glad that I listened to my heart.Etienne was the perfect gentleman.He held my hands throughout the event,cared for me in front of the paps and planned a romantic dinner.What more can a girl ask for?Not once did he try to invade my personal space.Is he not attracted to me?Am I looking weird..? Here goes my self confidence.I mentally rolled my eyes at myself.During the dinner Etienne told me a lot of stories from his childhood and kept me entertained.He really was a great guy.I noticed he came really close to me in between our conversation.Our thighs were brushing each other time to time.His body emanating his masculine heat and I couldn't hold my blush."Are you blushing Natalia?"He smirked.Damn him.I knew he was doing this deliberately.Than

Marriage is a bond sealed by love. -BlayzeMy hands were clammy and my heartbeat was erratic.I was a perfect example of nervousness and excitement.Zita remarked it was a perfect trait of the blushing bride.I couldn't sleep the whole night tossing and turning.Mom insisted on a traditional marriage so Etienne and me are separated.We'll see each other at the altar now.Maybe that is also the reason for my sleeplessness.Usually Tien drapes his arm around my waist pulling me close to his warm body.I feel protected.I feel safe.But more so I feel cherished.And now here I'm standing in front of my mirror where I've been subjected to all makeover torture past four hours.But I'm glad the end result is fantastic.I'm actually looking good.The way my wedding dress is hung on my body.The way the skirt is flowing easily.I look like a princess.My makeup is a mixture of natural to minimum giving me the authentic look."Oh my god my baby is looking so beau
