The day was here. It hadn't even started and I was already tired of it.This fabulous definition of a small wedding was nothing like I have ever seen. First off, their small wedding guests were almost three hundred in number. Sarah had made sure that we all went to the order of events multiple times. Her immediate family members were expected to have gotten to the reception by seven in the morning and here I was still in bed, snuggled against Daniel by freaking six thirty in the morning.She's going to be so mad at us."She shouldn't be here for long," I replied, "Carol's going to be here any second, I'm sure the only reason we are yet to hear a reaction from her is because she's been caught on the web of a particular activity and couldn't show up to break our doors down."We should actually get to our feet." Daniel kissed my head gently.I stood up reluctantly knowing he was right. The living room had been transformed since the day we came into a whole event center. All the chairs,
The moment my sister brought Daniel home so the family could meet him was the day I knew I had to make him mine. He looked like he was written by a Latin God, six feet four, perfect for my height of five feet nine. He had jet black hair and he knew what he was doing when he wore that tight T shirt that hugged his muscles, sitting across from me on the dining table."So tell us Daniel, what do you do for work?" My mom asked him, serving her homemade juice to us."I just got in as a marketer in Jenner Inc." He said and that made me widen my eyes in surprise. Jenner inc. belonged to my father and I worked in the same department of marketing as him."No way," my mom looked between him and Sarah, my sister."Yes mom, before then he worked as a marketer for Vail in Chicago, and he moved here so we could be closer to each other. You know Vail is one of dad's rivals so he was happy to accept Daniel, one of their best into the company." She sounded so proud as they giggled at each other."That
"No, no, no!" I gasped when he helped me regain balance on my feet, "that was my favourite shirt." I gasped at the coffee stain that trailed from my boobs to the center of the shirt."I don't know what got me carried away Jennifer, it was my mistake," he reached for a napkin in his pocket and tried to swipe it on my shirt but that was no help."You remember who I am," I said in realisation."Why wouldn't I? You're my future sister in law," he smiled and that made me glare at him, and I hoped he translated it as anger concerning my shirt."So how are we going to fix my shirt? I can't go around work like this." I groaned, I was already late enough, there was no need to carry on in a bad mood.Daniel took me by surprise when he held my hand and pulled me forward, leading me to God knows where. My cheeks burnt a very bright red at the feeling of his hand on mine and I blinked when he took me into the men's bathroom.We stopped in front of a sink and he went to check the stalls to see if t
"How was work today?" Sarah asked immediately I came home."You've never asked me that before, why do you care?" I dropped my handbag and slouched into a seat. At our ages, we still lived with our parents because neither of us could live on our own, Sarah tried it, it didn't work and I was just too attached to home to want to leave for any reason whatsoever. "I'm just being curious," she shrugged, "and how was Daniel? Did you get to see him today?""So that's what you really want to know? He was doing well, miss girl I'm tired." I groaned. I didn't want to talk about my crush with my sister."Ugh, okay. I'll talk to him myself."A part of me wanted to tell her about the whole shirt situation but I wasn't sure if they shared everything in their relationship."Why are you being so moody though? Did I do something to upset you?" She sat beside me and wiggled her eyebrows."No, I'm sorry, I'm just really worked up, I'm looking forward to your party though," I hoped that would lighten her
As we headed back to our respective departments after the conclusion had been made, I went to where Stella was and pulled her back by her collar, "girl there is no way you didn't do that on purpose!" I whisper yelled at her, keeping my pace slow, not wanting anyone's eyes to longer too much on me."Do what on purpose?" She shrugged at me."Pairing me with Daniel, why would you do that?""What's wrong with it? Why's that such a bad thing to do?" She seemed like she was truly lost for words, "I gave my reasons which are genuine plus I thought you'd be much more comfortable, he's your sister's... Oh my gosh," she suddenly gasped in realisation. "You have feelings for him!""Have you lost your mind, no I don't." I snapped at her."Yes you do, Jennifer, you have to be kidding me right now." She chuckled."It's not funny, I'm dealing with a serious issue over here." I crossed my arms across my chest. She smirked, "Well things just got pretty interesting.""Shut up!""Hey ladies, mind if I
"Why are you here all by yourself?" Daniel's voice startled me when he sat next to me on the sand. It was already night time and I hadn't returned to join them again, just relying on alcohol the entire time."Why aren't you with my sister?" I redirected at him."She's hanging out with her college friends for a reunion or so, so yeah I'm bored all by myself." He explained. "I saw Stella you know, umm...""Making out with a random? Yeah, typical of her.""I was surprised you two weren't together, so I came looking for you." I narrowed my eyes, "why would you be looking for me?""I haven't seen you since the announcement, I was just wondering if you were okay." He nodded once."I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" I gulped the beer bottle in my hand."That's a huge bottle, did you drink all that?" He stared at the bottle that was half empty now."Yeah, care for some?""Nah, I don't do alcohol." "So, you're engaged now, huh?" I pointed out."Yes, that was the secret I was hoping to tell you...
My lips remained connected to his and I pressed my boobs against his chest, closing my eyes and enjoying what tasted like a hint of strawberry that was spread across his lips. I would have kept going if he didn't gently pull my face away from his.I threw my hands up in realisation, "oh my God." My eyes widen as I started at him in disbelief. He stared back at me and cleared his throat, "well I better get going."I had no words to say to him as I watched him leave my presence.How could I have brought myself to act on my instincts, it was just too hard for me to believe. More than ever, I wished Stella would have stayed by my side all through the day instead.**I was up early the next day so I could be gone before anybody was active at the beach. I had too much to drink, my head threatened to explode from the lack of sleep coupled with the hangover I was suffering from.I saw people passed out on the floor of the beach, so much littering the floor and the sun was yet to rise so nobo
I was all packed for the trip and we had a quick morning meeting with my dad and a few other committees, going through our pitches and seeing how convincing they were.I had always looked forward to being in France and now I was going with my crush, that I would never cross the boundary with again in my life.My dad drove us to the airport while Daniel and I sat in the back seat of his SUV.I noticed he kept staring at Daniel through the rearview mirror and the poor guy was clearly lost for words to say to him."So you're engaged to my daughter Hmm?" My dad's cracking deep voice broke the awkward silence between us and for a split second I almost forgot my dad had two daughters."Yes sir." I love how Daniel kept his composure almost like he had no fear for what my dad could possibly say to interfere in their relationship."Hm, when you get back, I'd love to spend some time with you and have a quick discussion on what it is your plan is.""That's fine by me sir."We got to the airport

Daniel kissed my head gently.I stood up reluctantly knowing he was right. The living room had been transformed since the day we came into a whole event center. All the chairs,
The next morning was a hassle. Carol had come upstairs banging on the door of our room trying to force everyone awake and it was genuinely annoying since we'd slept so late last night."We have to go shopping, get up." She raised her voiceDaniel's arm was around me and he groaned when I tried to get up. "Don't leave." His thick and husky voice called in a low tone, his eyes still closed."I don't think she's going to stop," I groaned, snuggling closer to him."She'll have to give up, the doors locked, she's not forcing her way in." He said and I nodded against his chest and tightened my hold around him.I winced as she suddenly began to pound on the door. "Yeah she's not going to give up." I groaned and reluctantly got to my feet.Daniel still stayed in bed as I managed to pull myself towards the door to talk to her. I still didn't know how she was related to the family but I didn't like her.She was pounding heavily when I unlocked it and she'd almost hit my face, "what is it?""You
Daniel and I had packed our bags the day before and headed to the airport. I called my sister and she sent one of the Banks' drivers to come pick us up so here we were pulling up in front of the Banks mansion."Weird to say this but feels good to be here again," I told Daniel, undoing my seatbelt and getting out of the car. I actually looked forward to this whole thing."If you say so." He chuckled.We both got down, Daniel and the driver took our bags from the trunk and led us into the mansion. I loved the familiar smell of the wet bushes. "Well it's the moment of truth," I thought as we made our way to the main entrance I had so many questions and I was finally going to get answers to all of them.Sarah was waiting at the door, she pulled me into a hug the moment she saw me squeezing the life out of me, "I can't breathe I cannot breathe." I flailed my hands around trying to get the hell out of her grip.She let me go after bursting into a long laugh, "I'm so sorry, I just got so exc
"Come on you can't be serious!" I groaned at my phone after reading the text message Daniel had sent to me. He was supposed to come pick me up after work but according to his text message the route he normally took was heavily blocked by traffic and so he had to go through a different path.I was pretty annoyed because I had expected him to come pick me so I didn't take any change of clothes since he had been the one to drop me in the morning. I just left home in my swimsuit and nothing more. "Did you really have to do this tonight?" I mumbled aloud to myself as I trailed down the street that led to our house. It would take me at least forty five minutes to walk back home and it was past eleven p.m . I finished at work by 9 p.m. The only reason I was here till this time was because I was waiting for Daniel to come pick me up and by now all the shops around us were closed and it was starting to get lonely and creepy so he asked me to leave because he would not be able to make it in
The next day was a Saturday. Neither one of us had work today. I was chopping onions to make breakfast with in the kitchen when my phone rang out loud from where I'd left it.I furrowed my eyebrows, I barely got called when I wasn't away from Daniel as he was the only one constantly blowing my phone up."Could you please pass my phone?" I called to him.He skipped into the kitchen and gave it to me, wrapping his arms around me from behind and planting kisses on my neck.I looked at who the caller was and gasped."What, who is it?" He asked out of plain curiousity."My dad." I said and the look on his face matched the surprising one on mine.Since I moved away from the house my dad has not called me for once. Every now and then I will hear from my sister or my mum but he didn't even want to know how I was feeling and I did just come to the conclusion that our relationship was over."Do you want to answer it?" Daniel wondered."I guess so, I mean why now?"I was curious to know what yo
A few weeks later."Here you go, our special pasta Dran meal." I served the plate to a couple sitting on the first table. It had been three weeks since I started working at Hooked on the waitress. It was a restaurant where we served food wearing swimsuits that were form fitting and showed a lot of cleavage.At first I was sceptical taking the job then when I heard that the pay was $50 per hour and I could work for eight hours a day I hopped on it straight away.The best part of it was Daniel and I had moved to this side of town because his new job at a different print company was an hour drive away and the restaurant was a fifteen minutes drive from home.Speaking of Daniel, there he was sitting on one of the tables, pretending to look through the menu as though his eyes were not heavily fixed on me. I was heading back to the kitchen when I stopped in front of him for a brief second, "sir, what will you be having?""Your best meal," he lowered his voice, "you." I rolled my eyes "chee
I spent one more night in the hospital before clearing everything. I had not been looking forward to leaving the hospital now that I knew my dad was kicking me out of his house. I did not regret standing up for myself because I deserved to put him in his place. I just wished he would have given me more time to prepare."You know you are staying at my place, right?" Daniel asked as he drove my Mom, sister and I back to our place."Only for a few days before I'm able to get my own place." I reminded him. The last thing I wanted was to be like a leech on his back."We will talk more about this." He kept his eyes on the road and I would also prefer to talk about it in private.The ride back to her place was a very quiet night of us seeing any of our thoughts aloud.We got to the house and my mum went upstairs before us, "I'm just going to check if he's in the room and I will talk to him and just make him understand that he is being such a dummy all the entire situation."I understood tha
Jennifer It had been a week since my shooting and I hadn't been strong the whole time. I knew they weren't exactly allowing families to connect with each other but I had yet to recover from the shock of it so I spent most of my time not knowing of my family meeting but today I was fully back to my senses. My sister and parents were by my side. My mom was stroking my hair, sitting at the foot of my bed with all this hospital equipment still connected to me."How do you feel now?" She asked me for the umpteenth time. She probably expected me to stumble and pass out. I heard I'd undergone surgery to have the bullet taken out and I had zero memories of it. it had to be the seamless surgery ever."Mom, I'm fine, relax." I rolled my eyes at her, my dad still wasn't talking to me but it didn't matter. I winced at the slight pain I felt on my shoulder where the bullet had hit me. The pain relief medications were helpful, but the image of me being fired created a weird phantom pain."Where'
DanielI watched her fall to the floor, my mind unable to make sense of what just happened. I saw the blood oozing around her naked body and I couldn't tell where it was coming from.The police barged into the apartment right at that minute. The fucking bastards were just coming after it had all gone down.I picked up the gun, not caring about what the repercussions of my actions could possibly be, I pointed it at the man that had shot her and one of the officers came to hold me back, taking the weapon from me before I could even fire it."Fucking let me go!" I called on the top of my voice. "he's killed her, he has to fucking pay for this!" I cried. I heard the police team saying a few words as they arrested the entire gang but my head couldn't wrap around it at all.There was a medical team buzzing in after the poliice had packed the men, "let me fucking go you bastards." I pulled free from their grip and went to kneel in front of her.A nurse lifted her onto a rack with his colleag
