Paul wants me and I know he has a reputation of wanting what he can’t have ; but I am loyal to my boyfriend . According to Paul; I am not off the market , as long a Max hasn’t put a ring on my finger its fair game and he has it in his head that we have a connection.The only connection I have with Paul is that of friendship and that’s it. I was surprised when Blake and Salvatore were nowhere to be seen. They were in the building but Blake was helping his brother get to me before Paul could .

Chapter 99MaxPaul has a way of getting under my skin and I really don’t like him . He is an egotistical son of a respectable man and woman who don’t know what monster they created .

While I was waiting for her Paul said something that just triggered feelings of insecurity .I know that Ellie is loyal , I don’t like the fact that she will be working with Paul and I have to watch him be close to my girlfriend . I know that Ellie’s ring size hasn’t changed but I wanted to ask her to be my wife at the official match this Saturday .

Chapter100EllieAs soon as Daniel left with Max I double checked everything, and I had realized left my work phone on the top drawer of my desk . When I took out I saw a couple of text messages including the one Paul . I had already packed everything and I was headed out ,so I listened to Paul’s message and I called him back .“ Hey Paul .”“ Hey Ellie I hope you don’t mind ; I had a lunch date with your boyfriend instead of you .”“ Hey Paul I don’t mind he told me that ; the both of you had a conversation about his career.”“Yes we did .”“ That’s good .

I don’t know what my brother sees in you. It’s bad enough that he is taking you as his plus one to the match , but I am making it clear to you that I know your type and it’s a pity Daniel doesn’t see the selfish self serving bitch you are . “Ouch those are arrows fired .

Chapter102MaxDaniel and I are fast becoming the best of friends . We have a bromance that we never knew we needed until it came along and I have never been so happy . What brought us together was the fact that we didn’t like Paul and he was trying everything to break Ellie and me up . When he gave me the captaincy he told me that my schedule was going to be hectic , and that I should brace myself for a lot of trips and campaigns . If I was with Betty I wouldn’t mind and I would have jumped at any opportunity to stay away from the house and away from that woman.Right now I want to enjoy playing soccer and spend time with Ellie ; doing things that lovers do and preparing for the souls we are going to bring into this world .
