Lindsey's POV
During my highschool days I had always thought that the game of truth or dare was quite a bore.I don't know what it was but the fact that someone would spin the bottle and I just had to magically do their bidding even if it meant streaking across the school's hallways stark naked or face the consequences did not sit well with me.But here I was strapped between an expectant mother and my idol crazed best friend pouring shots that I was unfortunately downing at the moment because I was"Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles await you when you rise Sleep pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby" --The Beatles Golden slumbersLindsey's POVHow I found myself in front of Ethan's bedroom door at ten pm in the night exhausted and running on reserve energy stored in my body…I do not know.Partly because i haven't been able to get a look around the house so my navigation skills are definitely subpar so at this point I really was not too sure that I had arrived at the right door and partly because Annalise was in the room right across from mine and our picture perfect ideal of the loving

At first I think that it is my mind that is playing tricks on me when I hear it again…small, light but definitely there. I raise my hand to my eyes and give them a good rub as I try to register what had happened earlier. Lin had come over to stay with me in order to abat

I had draped a towel around my neck while another one was wrapped around my torso and sat on the bed as I tried to towel dry my hair with it's ends when I get a sound for a notification on my phone. I wonder if it's Nathan with an update for the investors who I had to unfortunately dismiss I walk towards my bed to where my phone was and I bend over to reach it. On opening it I could an email compilation from my tech guy…Benny. It was a no brainer that after Lin's surprise confes
Little baby told God, hey I'm kind of scared. Don't really know if I want to go down there. From here it looks like a little blue ball That's a great big place and I'm so small. Why can't I just, stay here with you? Did I make you mad, don't you want me too? God said oh child, of course I do But there's somebody special waiting for you --Garth Brooks Mom Lindsey's POV "Don't even get me started on the fact that she did not bother to tell anyone and never left her room so the smell permeated every corner of the house." "Dear God we had to get the house completely deep cleaned after her entire experiment and Francine literally kept her away from the kitchen with everything she had" I said looking at my younger sister accusingly. Annalisa raised her hand above her head as she tried to defend herself "Again in my defense I said that I was nine… besides I was not the only one with

I ask him confusedly. "During your previous encounter with my mother which I am yet to apologise to about you mentioned your mother." "Oh…" I say, unsure of what to say.

“I won’t ever forget, I will make you happy just like saying we are oneI’ll give it my allI promise you------PROMISEEXOETHAN’S POVProbation….a nine lettered word that could mean an entire host of things.In normal situations, it ought to mean that I had done a grievous sin and after an extended period of time I was finally allowed to pay for the retribution of my actions but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that trying to win my mother-in-law’s favor would be akin to boot camp or for a much better comparison hell.It’s only been two weeks but honestly…it feels like a lot more.Ever since Lin had introduced me to her mother I had made it a point to come over and try to get to know the woman I'm to call mother-in-law a little bit better but unfortunately each time I was unsuccessful. Unsuccessful was putting it a little bit lightly…I was a colossal failure.From the moment I had set foot into her hospital room it was though I was reduced to nothing but an errand boy. At f
"Well, well, well...look at what we have have here"Serena looked up from the article she was reading in the waiting area of the airport to see her sister peering down at her with a big smile plastered on her face."Chelsea!"Serena said as she returned her sister's smile with an even bigger smile. In the past six months that she had been away, she hadn't contacted her sister as often as she should and sure enough she had missed her terribly."How are you doing dear?" Chelsea asked her sister excitedly"Don't even bother answering that. I can see that you wherever it is you went to treated you just fine.

25"Welcome home …."Serena stared at the old woman in silence with a blank look on her face as she tried to quell the panic that she was feeling internally. She had definitely not expected to meet anyone and most definitely not the staff right now. She had just woken up after all."Ahem.Ma'am, may we come in?" She asked gesturing to the room with a nod of her head when she say that Serena hadn't responded to her greeting."Oh uhm…yes please come in." Serena said to her before rising to sit up on the bed.The old woman gave her a small smile before creeping closer to where Serena lay.Serena watched as the woman walked towards her, her eyes never straying. The older woman was quite smallish in stature hen

Mr and Mrs LoganSerena thought it was crazy that to think that just at this time yesterday she was Miss Asher, alone... single, independent and now she was married to a man that was far more powerful than what she could even begin to imagine.She raised her hand to look at white diamond ring that sat rested between her little and middle finger.It was made up of both gold and silver bands, the metals intertwined with each other in loops making a flower shape around a center diamond...all in all it was quite a beautiful ring. She wondered if Terrence had personally picked up the ring himself or if it was something that he had gotten someone to get in their spare time.As she continued to stare at the ring, Serena felt a panic bubble up from within her.'What if I am was just being too impulsive?' Serena thought with a slight frown on her face 'Who's to say that this could possibly end well? What if Terrence decides to abandon her halfway then what

Nah I’d rather hit the stage with y’all" -- Felly Probation Lindsey's POV “You are engaged?” My mother asked turning to face me directly. “You had gotten engaged, and you didn’t even bother to tell me? Lin, are you pregnant?” I shook her head vigorously as I tried to refute her claims .“No, Mom. No I am not pregnant.” “But you’re engaged to be married right?.” “Yes mom I am.” My mother looked at me with quizzical eyes as she tried to make sense of what I was saying. "So if you are not pregnant then why the hell are you getting married then and if memory serves me correctly where in the world did this mystical man

Singing, uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh Uh-oh-oh, oh-yeah--Jason DeruloWill you marry me?Lindsey's POV The office was as long as it was boring and I had missed home already. Woah…home… The fact that Ethan's place had slowly turned into my home did not quite sight right with me. It hasn't even been up to four days and here I was… I cast the thought to the recesses of my mental drawer and decided not to think about it again. Today Nathan had handed all of his work over to me and now I am officially Ethan's personal assistant slash secretary (I guess the position had been sandwiched together).&nb

Ethan and I after the events of last night had grown quite closer and I was able to finally relax in his presence. After last night I had seen a whole new side of him that I had not seen before and it was so wonderful to have witnessed it.
