Beau and Marigold stood outside by his car. He opened the front passenger’s side door and said, "Alright my princess. Let's get going." She got into the car as he closed the door behind her. He got into the driver's side, turned on the car, and drove off leaving The Bax Residency into the open road.

20 minutes passed and he glanced over at her, seeing her looking out her window. He thought to himself, 'She looks so beautiful it's making me nervous. I can't even speak to her, I'm so nervous. I feel like if I say something to her I'm going to sound like an idiot from being tongue tied. Why is it so hard to talk to her? She's just so beautiful. Alright Beau, say something to her. Compliment her, make conversations, say anything. Just speak to her.' He gripped his steering wheel as his cheeks turned red and she looked over at him, asking, "Are you alright Beau?" He sighed and answered, "Yeah I'm fine…" She said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a tomato." He said, "Yep I'm okay… I jus

    Marigold looked at Beau and said, "You want me to go to Paris with you for a week?" Beau nodded, saying, "Yes, I would like for you to come with me." She said, "I don't know the first thing about Paris. I don't even know how to speak French, I've never been outside the country let alone the state." He smiled, saying, "Well there's a first time for everything." She looked down, saying, "I don't know Beau, I've never traveled that far before." He said, "Marigold, I think it's time you live life. You've said it yourself, you want to travel but haven't gotten the opportunity to do so. Well now is your chance to actually do something you want to do. Start doing things that will make you happy." She looked at him, thinking, 'He's right. My dad never let me leave his side. I always had to take care of everyone else but myself. I never got a chance to live my own life and travel like I wanted to. This opportunity to leave the country… It's intimidating but I want to do it, I need to do it.' He

    Marigold continued holding on to Beau's arm, tightly. Beau thought to himself, 'She's holding my arm… She's actually holding my arm… I'm so happy and nervous all at the same time.' He glanced down at her, seeing her face buried into his chest. He thought, 'I want to stay like this forever. To have her close to me, to be close to her. I want her to stay by my side, I want to stay by her side for the rest of my life. She's a dream come true, my princess.' She felt his arm, feeling his muscles, and she thought, 'He's so strong… And when I'm near him I feel so safe… Like there's nothing in the world that could ever hurt me. I wish we could stay like this forever. He's so sweet, so handsome, so amazing… I've never met anyone like him… He's really something different, a Blessing. I can't focus when he's around me… I can't stop thinking about him, he's always on my mind. No matter what.' She moved her head, laying the side of her head on the side of his shoulder, and she thought, 'If only we

    DING The gold elevator doors opened and Beau put his hand out towards Marigold, saying, "Ready to go up?" She grabbed his hand and they entered the elevator watching the doors automatically shut behind her. Inside the elevator they saw gold walls and a silver railing that circled the entire elevator walls. The floors were carpeted and the color of the carpeting was red. Next to the elevator doors was a set of buttons that went all the way up to 50 and above the elevator doors was a black electrical sign that told you what floor you were on. She stood next to the buttons, asking, "What floor?" He answered, saying, "The 50th floor." She pressed the button looking at it light up bright yellow. She looked back at Beau saying, "You booked us for the top floor?" He said, "Yes of course I booked us for the top floor. It's the best floor to be on. It's very private and secluded and the best part about it is, it's extremely quiet. You don't hear any noise." She said, "Well I've never been on

    ErrrrrrThe door to Marigold's and Beau's personal hotel bathroom opened and Marigold walked out of the bathroom clothed in the black high-waisted dress Beau bought for her. She looked at Beau seeing he had changed into a navy blue blazer, white button up shirt, black pants, and white tennis shoes. He looked at her, his heart racing, and thought, 'She's beautiful, that dress looks amazing on her.' She looked down, grabbing her upper arm, and saying, "You look nice Beau." He felt himself jump in his skin and he said, "I uh… T-Thank y-you. T-The dress looks nice on you." She walked over to her bed, and sat down, while asking, "Just the dress?" He turned around to face her, seeing her looking down, he thought, 'Come on Beau! Tell her the truth. Tell her she looks amazing, that she makes your heart race when you look at her, that her beauty is unmatched, say anything,' and he said, "Yes." She said, "Well at least you like the dress… I like the dress too." He thought, 'Beau you idiot you'r

    7 hours later URRRRR URRRRR BURRRRRR URRRR URRR BURRRRRR URRRRR URRRR Beau's phone alarm went off waking him up. He sat up in his bed, grabbed his phone off the bedside table, and turned off the alarm. He looked over at Marigold seeing her wrapped up in her covers, still asleep, and thought, 'She looks so comfortable, I don't want to wake her up but we have to go, we can't be late for our flight… I guess I can give her a few more minutes of rest while I finish packing up everything.' He pulled the covers off of himself, swung his feet down to the floor, and stood up while stretching out his back. "Uh I'm so tired," he whispered. He walked over to the dresser that was in the hotel room and finished packing up everything that belonged to them in their suitcases. 20 minutes passed and he finally finished packing everything up. He walked over to his bedside table, grabbed his phone, and looked at the time. '7:00am we're right on time,' he thought. He put his phone in his pocket, walk

    Marigold looked at Beau and said, "What's behind the door? Is it more clothes?" He chuckled and said, "Why don't you open the door and see what's behind it." She put her hand on the door's golden door knob, looked back at Beau, and said, "I'm nervous." He laughed, asking, "Why are you nervous? Do you think it's something bad?" She answered him, saying, "Not something bad per say. It's just surprises make me nervous." He said, "Well don't be nervous. You should love what I got for you." She turned around to face the door, took a deep breath, and cracked open the door. Errrrr Errrrrr Urrrrrrr The door squeaked. She felt the door push open a bit and she felt something rub up against her leg. She jumped back into Beau's arms, burying her face into his chest, shouting, "What was that?" He looked down at her, chuckling, saying, "Take a look." She turned around and looked down, seeing a white kitten laying on the floor. She looked back at Beau, saying, "Beau you didn't."

    Beau looked at Marigold and she said, "So will you take me to your office so I can learn more about you." Beau said, "If you really want to come with me to my office we can. Whatever makes you happy my princess." A smile came to her face and she said, "Awe Beau I can't wait. I'm sure your job is interesting." He chuckled, saying, "It's more paperwork than interesting but I am in the middle of getting things ready for a charity event so if you want you can sit in on the meeting." She said, "I can't wait, what should I wear? Are we suits or casual? He chuckled, saying, "Dress in business attire. Tomorrow we have to leave by 7:30am so Carls please make sure my princess is up and ready to go. If you get done early and we leave out by 7:10 we'll stop and get coffee." She rolled her eyes and said, "I know how to get up by myself Beau. I'll be ready, matter of fact I'll be done earlier than you."

    25 minutes later…Beau pulled his car up to the front of The Bax Company building. He glanced over seeing Marigold swaying back and forth, sipping on a 20oz dark chocolate frappe that had whip cream and a chocolate drizzle on top of the whip cream, through a blue straw. She looked at him, smiling, and he said, "I hope you're happy." She said, "I'm very happy, thank you Beau, or should I say Mr.Bax Jr." He sighed while smiling, asking, "Why would you call me Mr.Bax Jr?" She answered him, saying, "Because you're the boss and isn't that your professional title?" He chuckled, got out of the car, closing the door behind him. He glanced over to the front door of the building, seeing the valet standing by the front door, behind his (the valets) stand. The valet waved to Beau, saying, "Good morning Mr.Bax Jr." Beau waved back saying, "Good morning." The valet walked towards Beau saying, "Mr.Bax Jr. I see that you're late today. You are almost never late. It's unlike you. The whole building is

    As she walked inside of her old home she once knew she looked around her seeing her once vibrant, modern style living room darkened and in shambles. She sighed, taking in the sight of broken furniture, scattered beer bottles, holes in the wall, and pictures of her family broken in their picture frames. She breathed in the air that now reeked of alcohol and trash, thinking to herself, ‘He never changed…’ She pressed her back up against the front door and closed it as she whispered, “It's only for a moment.” She walked away from the door, going further into the house, and began stepping on glass that crunched underneath her feet. Step, crunch, step, crunch, step, clang. She looked down, seeing a golden picture frame underneath her foot, crouched down, and picked up the picture frame, seeing an old picture of herself, her father, and her mother, all smiling at a beach. ‘When did you decide that you were no longer going to be my father? Was it the day mama died… Or were you always like t

    Inside Beau's room, stood Beau. He went through his closet, going through his suits that hung on a clothing racket. As he went through his suits he felt his phone begin to vibrate. He took it out of his pocket, looked at it, seeing Fress calling, and answered it, saying, "Yes?" "Sorry to call so late Mr.Bax Jr. but while you've been wasting your day away doing senseless, 'Birthday activities,' with your family, I've been working hard on the charity event and need your signature on some contracts for the vendors," Fress snickered. Beau gritted his teeth, sighed, and said, "Send them to me and I'll sign them when I get the chance." Fress said, "See to it that you do. We can't all do whatever we want like you, with no care in the world." Beau said, "Okay." Fress said, "I'm glad you're taking this so nonchalantly. This is why you'll never be a top business man, because when it comes down to it, you can never focus and get the job done." Beau said, "Look Fress I'm not going back and forth w

    Marigold entered the kitchen, looking down and smiling to herself. She looked up seeing Angela, Nathaniel, and Carls standing in the kitchen, the cake sitting on the island and a cake knife sitting next to the cake. Angela looked at Marigold and said, "Marigold, we were just talking about you." Marigold walked over to Angela, saying, "Talking about me? What were you guys about?" Angela grabbed Marigold's hands, saying, "How talented you are. I mean, you are full of surprises." Carls said, "Your voice sounds like a beautiful bell, Miss Marigold,"Nathaniel added, saying, "You can paint, you can sing, you truly are a very talented woman. I see why my boy is in love with you. You truly are an amazing young woman." Marigold's face turned red, as she looked down, saying, "T-Thank you, but I-I'm nothing special." Angela said, "Why Marigold Bax, that is utter nonsense." Carls said, "You are very special, Miss Marigold,"Nathianel added, saying, "A woman with talent like yours should put it to

    Early in the morning Marigold stood in the kitchen wearing a wrap style shirt that had long puffy sleeves and was beige pink colored. She also wore blue skinny jeans, and t-bar style heels. She had her long hazel brown hair up in a high messy bun and wore 14k, rose gold, hoop earrings. She put a plate that had chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and sausage on it on a metal tray next to a small cup of syrup. She went through the cabinets in the kitchen, found a tall glass, poured some orange juice, and put it on the tray. Carls walked into the kitchen seeing Marigold preparing a tray and said, "Miss Marigold you're up early." She looked at Carls, smiled, and said, "Yes, I wanted to make breakfast for Beau." Carls said, "Well it smells delicious, Miss Marigold. Master Beau is going to love it." She said, "Thanks Carls," stood in front of him, her back facing the doorway of the kitchen, and said, "Now how do I look?" He smiled and said, "You look beautiful Miss Marigold." She said, "Beaut

    Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding Marigold was awakened by the sounds of her cell phone going off. She slowly opened her eyes and began rubbing them. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding She listened as her phone continued to go off. She mumbled, "Why is my phone going off," as she reached for her phone that sat on her bedside table. She looked at the time, seeing that it was 4am, and thought, 'Why is my phone going off this early in the morning?' She unlocked her phone and saw notifications from the art websites she posted on. She gasped as she opened one of the notifications to one of the websites, seeing that her painting was sold for 500$. Her eyes widened as she smiled from ear to ear. She jumped out of bed and she began screeching from excitement. She continued to look through the rest of her notifications, seeing that they were commissions for more painting. She thought, '10 commissions and they're all 250 and above, I've got to get painting right away.' She ran out of her room, went to the art

She laid in her bed feeling her body feeling heavy, hot, and weak. Knock, knock, knock, knock She continued to hear knocking at the door but ignored it, as she closed her eyes, feeling her stomach begin to turn sour.She heard Carls say, "Miss Marigold can I come in," but ignored him, feeling pain in her stomach.

On the tray there was french toast on a plate, bacon on a saucer, fork and a knife that sat on top of a napkin next to the plate, and a tall glass of orange juice.

    4 Years ago…In his office at the Bax Company was Beau, sitting behind his redwood desk, holding designs in his hands. He sighed, thinking, ‘None of these will do, these aren’t original enough. The people are going to hate these.’ He tossed the designs on his desk, thinking, ‘Come on Beau. Sales are down by 15%. I have to do something to get sales up and these designs aren’t going to cut it.’ DING The sounds of the elevator dinging filled the air. Tap, tap, tap tapHe heard the sounds of heels tapping against the floor, and looked up to see Jessica standing in front of his desk.

    Marigold looked at Beau seeing him siding eying her with no expression on his face. As he looked forward at the road, he tightened his grip around the steering wheel, and said, "So, what did you think you were doing?" She looked down saying, "Beau I-I, I don't know." He said, "How could you just leave without telling me where you were going? What did you think you were doing, all the way in the city, without transportation or any form of communication?" She said, "I know, I should've brought my phone… I just… I was distracted." He said, "What if I hadn't been there to protect you? What were you going to do then?" She said, "I can handle myself Beau, I don't need your protection." He said, "Oh yeah, like you were handling Fress right? You had the whole situation under control." She said, "I did, I can protect myself, you just got in the way before I had the chance to defend myself, you…" He interrupted her, saying, "Marigold this is not the time to play.

    4 Years ago…In Beau's office were Fress and Beau. Fress sat on a couch chair and chin buried into his hand while Beau sat on the loveseat. In front of them, sprawled out on the table were drawings of designs of different outfits drawn by both Beau and Fress. Fress said, "Alright, we need 2 more designs for the Runway show and then we're done." Beau picked up one of the drawings. The drawing was of a sparkly one shoulder dress that had a tulip skirt. Fress grabbed the drawing from him, looked at it while stroking his chin, and said, "It's a good design, but if we're going to make the dress we need the perfect model to model it." The voice of a woman said, "What about me?" Fress and Beau looked over at the elevator seeing a woman aged 18 standing in front of it. The woman wore a light blue, A-line, knee length dress, and black heels. She had a diamond necklace that sparkled in the light and earrings that matched the necklace. Her thick, strawberry blonde hair was done in an updo with
