Marie

After two weeks of "causal meetings" as Karter calls it, Karter finally asked me out on a date. I didn't want it to be something really fancy so Karter invited me to have dinner with him and Millie. I was reluctant at first but later on I agreed.

So right now I'm getting ready for my date. I put on a sky blue flowy dress that falls to my knees. I decide to wear white high heels as they would looks great with the contrast. Karter wanted me to come over by 7 and his house is almost 45 minutes away from mine so at 6:15 I head to my car.

After a good 45-50 minutes, I reach Karter's mansion. I park my car close by and walk towards the house. The door was opened by a sweet old lady who told me she was Karter'

    Marie"So really if I want to I always could move back home but I like it here. It's also really nice to be a somewhat foreigner plus the ladies love the British accent" Karter says smirking at me."I'm sure they do buddy." I say taking a bite of my sandwich.Karter opened his mouth to say something but my phone had started ringing. I picked it up to see Nina's caller ID. I answer immediately."Hello?" I ask."M! I haven't seen you in a week. Did you die or something?""Nope very much alive. I'm sorry, I've been busy.""Yeah with Karter for sure." I can tell she's smirking on the other side."Yeah yeah shut up.""The two of you have officially been going out now right? Since Saturday?""Yeah I guess. Nothing official yet though." I try not to take Karter's name as he's in the office with me."Well obviously he won't start calling you his girlfriend in a week. Baby steps M. Baby steps." Nina

She asks.Marie has been spending a lot of time with Millie and they both are getting along pretty well. I smile at my daughter," Not today sweetheart

    Marie"It's just three weeks. You'll be back before you know it." I say."I know but I'll miss seeing you all the time." Karter whines.I smile, "Don't worry, time will pass super fast.""Well I sure hope so." Karter says."Listen they want us to turn off the phones till we don't take off. I'll talk to you later?""Yeah.

    MarieIt's been a week since Karter left for Spain. It feels so strange not to see him everyday. I'm pretty bored at work as well. As Karter isn't around I don't have much to do.Today is Friday and work was pretty boring. I had very little work to do, Karter actually told me to take the day off but I don't like to sit around and do nothing. Plus I don't want anyone to think that Karter's treating me differently because we're dating. At least not when it comes to work matters.I reach home at around 4 and immediately hop into the shower. The warm water running down my body soothes me and relaxes my muscles. God I really need a spa day with Nina. How long as it been?

    KarterI just landed to New York. It's 27th July, meaning it's Marie's birthday. She doesn't know I'm in New York yet, she thinks my flight lands tomorrow so I'm surprising her. Marie also never told me when her birthday was, I had to ask Nina and thank god I did.I step out of the airport to see Richie waiting for me. He smiles at me and I smile, "Hello Sir. How was your trip?""It was great. Thank you. How are you doing Richie?" I ask as we walk to the car."I'm doing good Sir." He says."Where to Sir?" Richie asks once we're in the car."To Marie's house please." I say as Richie nods and starts the car.I reach her apartment and walk to her floor. Today is a Tuesday so Marie won't be home so I can easily sneak into her place.I call Nina who picks up after two rings, "Hello Karter." She says."Hey. I'm outside her apartment. Where did you keep the key?" I ask."Oh it's in the plan

    Karter"I'm honestly fine. I don't want you to check up on me Karter." Marie says."Are you sure? Because no offence but you sound like shit." I joke.I can hear Marie chuckling, "Thanks. Don't worry about me. If I need anything I'll let you know but I don't want you to skip work just because of me.""Are you 100% sure?" I ask."Yes I am.""If you need anything. I'm here.""I know.

    5 months laterMarieI stepped out of the shower and picked out a black button down, maxi-dress which has a little collar and a cleavage bearing neckline. It's cute and a little sexy as well. Not too revealing but revealing enough. I put on a sliver necklace and black heels to compliment the dress.After drying my hair, I put on some makeup and head for the door. As soon as I reach my car I get a call. I answer and it was Ellie."Hey M where are you?" She asked."I just left my apartment. I'm in the car. " I say unlocking my car and getting inside."Okay. See you soon. You're getting the cake right?" She asks."Yup. I gave the order three hours ago so it'll be ready and I'll just pick it up. Did people start showing up yet?" I ask."Okay good. Just a few kids are here. Drive safe. Bye!""Bye." I say and hang up.Today is November 5th and it's Millie's 7th birthday. Karter's throwing her a

    KarterI was watching cartoons with Millie in the living room when the doorbell rang. I bet that's Marie. I look at Millie who was too focused on her show. I get up and head to the door.I open the door to see Marie standing there with a plastic container in her hands. She smiles at me and I move aside to give her space to come inside.She peaks me on the lips and smiles ,"Hello.""Hi. What's that?" I ask gesturing to the box in her hand."Well I made Millie my famous chocolate chip cookies. I know how much she loves them." Marie smiles.

    12 years laterMarieI felt a pair of arms tighten around my waist and a few kisses were being planted on my neck. I smile as my eyes slowly start to open.I turn the other way to be faced with a smiling Karter ,"Morning beautiful.""Good Morning handsome." I smile at him. I was still semi asleep."How'd you sleep?" Karter asks."The usual. Good." I smile."I'm going to go get started with breakfast okay?""Okay." I smile yet again."It's still early, rest for a while before the little rascals' wake up." Karter says as he places a kiss on top of my forehead."I will. Thanks babe." I smile."Anything for you." Karter flashes me one of his billion dollar smiles and walks to the bathroom.I really am the luckiest girl in the world. I turn the other side to see a few pictures on our bedside table. One was of Karter, Millie and I on our wedding day. Millie was just a little girl

I mumble before latching my lips onto Marie's.The rest of the audience start to clap and cheer for us. Marie and I smile into the kiss as we deepen the kiss. We pull away and look into each other’s eyes."I love you." I say."And I love you." Marie smiles.We walk down the aisle hand in hand with everyone cheering and clapping beside us.

    Marie1 year laterOne thing I hate the most in this world is dieting. I just hate dieting. I hate it. Maybe I'm being a bit too cynical because I haven't eaten proper food in over a week now. I'm on a juice cleanse. I'm surviving on smoothies and boy do I hate them. Just one more day until I can eat solid food again. Thinking about it is making me so happy. Tomorrow is going to be magical not because I'm getting married but because I can finally eat junk again. Can tomorrow come by any faster."Marie? You can come out anytime today!" My mom yells from outside the bathroom. I was trying on my wedding dress right now. I forgot. I was lost in my thoughts."Just one second mom!" I say and quickly start to fit into my wedding dress.I zip myself in and walk out of the bathroom carefully. Can't ruin this dress, it's very important for tomorrow.Everyone outside gasps as soon as I step out of the bathroom. I give all of t

    Karter"Come on. Get up sleepy head. Your friend's Cindy is coming over today remember? We can't have her here with you sleeping, can we?" I ask Millie.Millie jolts up in her bed, "Is Cindy here?" She asked sleepily."No she isn't but she'll be here in a while sweetheart. Why don't we go downstairs and eat breakfast or do you want to take a shower first?" I ask Millie."Breakfast." Millie mumbles rubbing her eyes."Okay then let's go downstairs. Come on." I get up and open my arms and pick up Millie who's still pretty sound asleep.

    MarieI anxiously pace across my apartment waiting for Karter. Ugh. Why am I so nervous and freaked out? I need to calm down a little.There was a knock on my door and I immediately look up. Should I pretend like I'm not home so he can leave? No stop being ridiculous Marie.I kid you not, my hands were literally shaking as I held onto the doorknob. What is wrong with me? I need to calm down and take a breath before talking to Karter. He'll probably think I'm on drugs or something like that.I take a deep breath and unlock the door. Karter was standing there with a polite smile on his face."Hey." Karter greets me."Hi. Thanks for c

    MarieHave you ever just stayed up all night because you were too lost in your thoughts? Well I have. All night I kept thinking about my life. I know this must sound so cliché and maybe I sound like such a romantic right now but all night one person was continuously on my mind and that person was Karter.Tonight, was nice. It was better than I expected honestly. But there has been one thing that has been on my mind the entire night. Even beforeLouis and Ellie came. Am I still in love with Karter? The real question should be did I ever even stop loving him? I forgave him, I know that I did.But do I still love him?…The next morning, I was awoken by phone buzzing by my side. God. I want to sleep. Scratch that. I need to sleep. Ugh. I press answer and press my phone to my ear."Hello?""M. Don't tell me you're still in bed right now." Nina warns."It's a Sunday and it's" I remove my phone f

She wanted to have the double date at her place and wanted to cook herself.I was really hoping this could just be a one to one date but Marie set her own conditions. I could always give Liam a call and tell him to make anexcuse and cancel but I can't do that. Marie is starting to trust me again, even something so little might make her change her mind for good. Can't letthat happen now can I? I need to respect her decision and understand that I can't always get what I want.I stand outsi

    MarieGod, I hate Tuesdays. For me they're worse than Mondays. They just remind you that you still have an entire long ass week before your weekend starts off. Ugh. I hate leaving my warm and cozy bed. It's too hard for me.After my morning routine, I head outside. It's an awfully cold day today. Gosh I really wish I could go inside and crawl into my comfortable warmbed but duty calls.Since I switched branches as in since I left the headquarters to work at Carl's branch, I have to wake up way earlier in the morning as my current office is more then 45 minutes away from my apartment so that fucking sucks.

    KarterThe purpose of the last three months of my life can be summed up in a single word-realization. I realized several things in the past three months one of the them being that I'm a complete idiot. An asshole, a dick, an inconsiderate pig. Those are just few of many adjectives I would use to describe myself.At the beginning of this year, I had everything. I really did. Let me elaborate. My job was going great, I had met an amazing girl who accepted me for me and who made me open up to everything, my daughter had a motherly figure in her life who she looked up to, all my friends loved my girlfriend. Well everything was amazing because of one special person. I'm pretty sure you all know who that is.I'm still earning in millions, I still have my friends and my loving daughter by my side but my heart isn't truly happy with the stupid decisions I've made in the previous months. As any normal person would do after a break up, I started to isolat
