ALIS P.O.V
After a good nights sleep I woke up to get ready for my first day of work.
To say I was worried about what I should wear would be an understatement.
I want to make sure Im dressed properly and look professional. I decided to wear a white pencil skirt with a red blouse. Then straighten my hair and put on my mascara and nude lipstick. I don't usually use lipstick, but since today is the first day of work, I decided to put it on.
I glanced at my watch to see that its 6:30 am. I guess I woke up early. Oh well, thats a good thing. Since I still have an hour till work starts, I decided to stop by somewhere to get some breakfast.
When I got outside, I quickly called for a taxi.
"Taxi!" I shouted while raising my hand.
When the taxi came, I grabbed the door handle only to be stopped by another hand.
"Tell Miss. Dream. When are you going to start learning that you shouldn't take things that don't belong to you?" said a familiar deep voice.
Oh You have got to be kidding me.
I turned around, smiled and said "Good morning Mr. Day. Nice to see you again."
He smirked and said "Yes, yes it is. Now Miss. Dream, will you kindly move aside so that I may get in the cab?"
What? Okay please tell me this is not going to be just like yesterday.
"Mr. Day, I don't know if your're joking, but this time this really is my cab." I said exasperated.
He smirked and said "I assure you Miss. Dream. I am certainly not joking."
"Mr. Day, I got here first"
He laughed and said "Ms. Dream, now you need to learn to stop lying."
"Mr.Day this is ridiculous. I am not lying. You can go —"
Before I could continue my sentence another man behind Matthew spoke up.
"Excuse me Miss. We can share the cab Im taking." He shouted and smiled.
I stopped arguing with Matthew and looked over his shoulder to see a tall dark and handsome man, dressed in a dark gray business suit. He has the most gorgeous pair of green eyes and light brown hair that makes you just wanna run your hands through it.
I moved passed Matthew and walked up to the man.
This man is gorgeous.
He's not better looking then Matthew but still, I would be lying if I said this man was anything but handsome.
I walked up to the man and said "Thank you. Its nice to see that chivalry isn't dead."
I heard a scoff behind me. Knowing its from Matthew, I chose to ignore it and payed attention to the man in front of me instead.
"Im glad to hear that. The names Mark. Mark Davidson." He said smiling at me and sticking out his hand for me to shake.
"Ali. Ali Dream." I said shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you Ali." He said with a smile, that shows off his pearly white teeth.
I smiled and said "Im going to a place 9 mins from here for breakfast before I start work, so you'll mostly have the cab to yourself."
"You don't need to worry about that and I was heading out for breakfast before I start work too. Lets grab some breakfast together at Starbucks. Does that sound okay with you?" He asked
"That sounds great. Thanks." I said.
There was a moment of silence where we just stood there smiling at each other until it was interrupted with someone clearing their throat.
Oh right. I forgot we weren't alone.
Sadly.
I turned to Matthew, laughed and said "Well Mr. Day, looks like you get your cab after all."
"Actually Miss. Dream, I change my mind. Since your're my P.A, we should go to work together in the same cab." He said sounding a little upset.
Oh great. Now he's upset. What is wrong with this man!? This guy has serious issues. He is so ridiculous.
"No thank you. Thats alright." I said back.
"Your're going to be late for work." said Matthew with a smirk.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was 6:40. I still have 50 mins left.
"What time do you start work?" said Mark.
"7:30"
"Great. You have 50 mins left. Lets hurry, that way we will have enough time to eat breakfast and you won't be late for work." said Mark.
"Sounds great. Good Idea." I said smiling at Mark.
I turned to Matthew and said "I guess I'll see you at work Mr. Day"
I waved goodbye to Matthew and joined Mark in the cab.
Well that was an interesting way to start off my day.
ALIS P.O.V When we got out of our cab, Mark and I waited in line to order our food. Sadly there are eight people in front of us. Meaning we're going to have to wait for a while in line. I hope I wont be late for work. "So what do you do for a living?" said Mark as we waited in line. "Im a P.A for the CEO of Lexon Corp." I said. "Wow. Thats great." said Mark "Thanks. Today is my first day and the guy that I was arguing with this morning, is my boss." I said with a small laugh. He laughed and said "You've got guts, if your're going to argue with your boss." "Thank you, I guess. I've only known him for almost two whole days and so far, the only thing I've learned about him is that sometimes he can be a complete asshole." He laughed and said " Whats so bad about him?" "Well he —-" "Excuse me miss, are you ready to take your order?" said the Starbucks cashier, interrupting my conversation with Mark. "Yes, I would like to take a pumpkin spice latte and a toasted bagel wi

Matthews P.O.V
Matthews P.O.VMrs. Finkleston folded her hands together and said "Hmmm.. Where shall I start?""Grandma there's no need to bore them with old stories. I think its time for us to go." I said smiling to her, now hoping to get out of here as fast as I can. Even if we did stay and I let her make up some fake embarrassing stories, I don't want her 60 year old mind to go overboard and make me really embarrassed. If she's going to say an embarrassing story, I'll deal with the 'Peed in the bed' story, or a 'Calling my teacher Mama' story.One of my real embarrassing stories would be when my real grandma Dila Day, caught me masturbating in my room when I was sixteen and let me tell you, dinner that night was really awkward. We had to hold hands to pray for our food and guess who's hand I was holding?...Grandma Dila. Ever since that day, grandma Dila made sure to never sit by me at the dinner table ever again. "Oh no dear, its alright. Im sure we have time." said Mrs. Finkleston breaking me
Matthews P.O.V
ALIS P.O.V After I walked out of Mr. Days office I went straight to my desk and sat down on my chair. Why is 'Love' such a bad word to him? Maybe he must have been through something that caused his heart to break. What if it was an ex that dumped him? I feel depressed at the thought of him being with another woman. Ali! Do you have feelings for your boss? Ugh! This is so hard. I know I'm not supposed to be attracted to the guy. He's my damn boss! I know that he's not a person that you can trust with your heart. I know that for sure, by his past actions. So I know that I shouldn't feel any romantic feelings for the guy. Plus I've only known him for almost 2 whole days and he's my boss too! It isn't professional for an employee to be in a relationship with their boss. Plus, Im pretty sure that my coworkers would talk. Speaking of coworkers, where are they? I got up out of my chair to go take a look around to see if anyone else was on this floor. After looking around, I've onl
ALIS P.O.V "What do you mean no?" I asked Matthew narrowing my eyes. "I mean... No way, this place is too small for another person. You wouldn not want your friend Dillion to feel crowded in this place would you?" said Matthew."This place isn't small and I have a extra room." I said rolling my eyes. "Ali you are not going to live alone with another man." said Matthew in a firm tone. I shook my head and sighed. This guy is seriously giving me a headache."Mr. Day I—" I started to argue."Matthew." he said, cutting me off before I could finish my comment."What?" I asked in a confused tone."Call me Matthew. We're not in the office, so call me Matthew." he said in a stern tone.I took a deep breath and said "Okay Matthew, I am not going to be living alone with him. His sister is moving in with us too.""How are you going to fit him and his sister with you in this 2 bedroom apartment?" asked Matthew looking confused."Simple. Dillion and I can just sleep in my room." I said with a sm
ALIS P.O.VInstead of going back to the Lexon Corp building, Matthew told Will to take us to a italian restaurant called Cielo,for lunch. He was so determined to prove to me that his friend Mikey is real. I was just kidding when I told Matthew that I didn't believe he had friends. This guy needs a sense of humor. I laughed at the possibility of Matthew not even knowing what the wordHumormeans.

Matthew P.O.V(Seven years later) “Daddy do you think this looks pretty? asked Anastasia.I looked up from the paper on my desk in front up me and turned my attention towards my five-year-old daughter. She looked just liked her mother, with her long dark brown wavy hair and big dark brown eyes. She smiled and tilted her head, patiently waiting for my answer as she showed me the blue headband in her hand and the blue dress she was currently wearing.I put down my pen and stood up from my chair and walked around my desk, and towards my daughter. I bent down at eye level and smiled at her. She was a surprise that was fully welcomed the day, Ali and I realized that Ali was pregnant. My mother and Aunt were ecstatic when we told them Ali was pregnant.“Of course!” I said as I grabbed th
ALI’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” Matthew said to me as he handed me back the black tie. I sighed and raised my eyebrows “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”If I had never met Maria two days ago, I would have been really nervous; but after seeing her and seeing the kind of person she is; I felt sort of comfortable around her. I can’t say that I am fully comfortable, because I do not know her completely. In conclusion, I just hope that she really is okay with me and her son being together.Matthew laughed and replied “I was just kidding Ali.”My mouth formed into an ‘O’ and I nodded my head. I then grabbed the black tie and tied it around my eyes. This time
Matthew’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” I said to Ali as I handed her back the black tie.She sighed and raised her eyebrow “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”I laughed “I was just kidding Ali.”Her mouth formed into an ‘O’ and she nodded her head. Then grabbed the black tie and tied it around her eyes. Thankfully this time, she did not ask any questions and instead stayed quiet and patient. I scooted her beside me, interlacing my hands with hers. I saw her lips form a smile and I could not help but smile with her. Every time I put I a smile on her face, it puts a smile on mine.“We’re here sir,” said Will.We drove up to a big warehouse, that I recently bought, just for today
Matthew’s P.O.VAli picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”I was irritated with the interruption; I was close to getting my answer from her. I am eager to know what she is going to say. I feel like she is going to say yes, because she has told me she loves me, but then again; some small part of me worries that she will change her mind. Sometimes woman are fickle sometimes.Ali rolled her eyes and quickly shut her phone and pouted at me “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” she asked with a sly smile.You were about to tell me if you will be my girlfriend, I thought to myself.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. Gerald turned towards us and asked “Any sug
Ali’s P.O.VI picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”A woman’s voice greeted me “Hello! My name Margie, I am calling to ask if you are interested in buy—” she didn’t get to finish, because I hung up on her.I looked at Matthew and pouted “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” I asked with a sly smile.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. My father then turned towards me and asked “Any suggestions for songs you both want to dance to?”Matthew smiled and nodded his head, “I am not sure if you have heard of him before, but his name is Ed Sheeran.”My mother gasped in delight “I LOVE HIS SON
Matthew’s P.O.V(THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVED AT ALI’S PARENTS HOUSE)The shocked look on Ali’s face was comical. She looked confused and I already knew that she was going to wonder why we were here at her parent’s house. This morning I woke up with a plan to ask her parents for permission. I already knew that I wanted to be with Ali. Now, I just need to take the next step to make things official between us.“Why are we here?” she asked, pointing to her parent’s house behind her.I stepped forward, grabbed her hand and said “Ali, I love you, and I know you love me. That gives me enough reassurance that you want to be together.”She had a smile on her face and she nodded at me. That made me glad and I felt reassured that she was slowly accepting me being here at
ALI’S P.O.VI turned around towards Matthew my face full of confusion.“Why are we here?” I asked, pointing to my parent’s house behind me.He stepped forward, grabbed my hand and said to me “Ali, I love you, and I know you love me. That gives me enough reassurance that you want to be together.”I smiled and nodded my head, agreeing with his comment, that I am in love with him. I love everything about this man.“I was raised to ask a woman’s parents for permission first, before you date the woman you are in love with,” he said, emphasizing on the word ‘first’ to me.That is so old school, I thought to myself.“I know it is old school,” Matthew said to me with a chuckle.My eyes widened and I blushed, not realizing I said that out loud.“But it is the right way to do this because it is me being respectful to your parents, and showing them that I want to be with you,” Matthew said to me as he pulled me forward and kissed my forehead.I sighed, then pulled back from him and replied “Okay,
