MarieI was awoken by my alarm clock, ringing and vibrating. God, I hate Mondays! I pull the covers off my body and head to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror and decide to take a bath, honestly, I look like shit. I put on a knee-length black skirt with a V-neck white top. I put on a pair of black heels and decide to leave my hair open and all-natural today.Once I'm properly dressed I head to the kitchen and make myself a bowl of oatmeal. After finishing breakfast quickly and cleaning the dishes I grab my car keys and head out the door.My office isn't too far, about 10-13 minutes so I don't really have to hurry. I work at one of the biggest companies in America, Allan Establishment, I work at one of its branches in New York as Mr. Carl Rodgers, the CEO's assistant. At 22 I'm pretty happy with my professional life, a stable job at a good company, a good boss, and friendly colleagues. I also earn pretty generously, people my age are us

MarieOnce again I was awoken by my alarm clock ringing and buzzing. God, I hate waking up at 8 am! What's the point of graduating school when you have to wake up for work at 8? I honestly used to think that after school you can like wake up whenever or something. Life is so unfair. And I'm so stupid! I pull the covers off my body and head to the bathroom.I examine my face in the mirror. Ugh. Why can't I wake up looking stunning? So I can actually tell people, "I woke up like this!" Damn you Beyoncé. I decide to put on a grey pantsuit with black heels and a black undershirt. I don't feel like washing my hair today so I just tied it in a pony tail.After finishing my bowl of cereal and washing the dishes, I head out. I really could have called in sick or something, Mr. Rodger wouldn't have said anything but the fact that our tyrant boss man Mr. Allan is coming tomorrow, we have a ton of work to do and I know everyone is terrified so I can

MarieI was awoken by the beaming light coming from the windows hitting my eyes. I move in my bed and rub my eyes. Wait what time is it? I pick up the phone and check the time, it read "8:45". My eyes quickly widen. Oh shit! Why didn't my alarm go off today? It should go off at 8! I have to be at work at 9, oh my goodness I can't be late today, it's Wednesday. I don't want to lose my job. I immediately pull the covers off my body and run to the bathroom.Luckily I showered last night so I was good. I quickly put on a nice black and white knee length dress. I simply brush my hair and get it out of my face. I put on my favorite pair of white heels and decide to apply some light makeup to make myself look extra presentable.By the time I was done it was 8:55, I had to skip breakfast and quickly head to work. By the time I park my car and reach the elevator it was 9:10. Oh shit. Can't this elevator move faster?Finally the elevator opens and

Marie"Do you really have to work today?" Daniel pouts.I smile at how adorable he looks, "Babe. I told you. Mr. Rodgers has a strict policy of not taking Monday or Friday off without a proper excuse or a medical certificate!""I know I know but I just wish I could spend my entire day off with you!" Daniel whines."I wish the same. But I can't take the day off. Maybe Mr. Rodgers will let me off early today if I ask?" I suggest as Daniel's eyes light up like a little boy."Hopefully. Fingers crossed!" Daniel smiles. I lean in and attach my lips onto Daniel's. I devour his lips for a few seconds then pull away and smile at him."Well then you better get going. I'll be chilling at your place today baby. That's alright right?" He asks.I smile, "Whatever makes you happy!""Have a great day! I love you!" Daniel says."I'll try to. I love you too!" I smile.I peak Daniel's lips once again and grab my st

Marie"You know you have to take it right?" Nina says. I had just told her about Mr. Allan's offer."Nina" I pause "I don't know" I say taking a sip of my coffee."Marie, this is your big break. I mean you're going to get much more money and working as HIS assistant will look amazing on your CV, like why are you even thinking of turning an offer like this down?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."I don't know. I don't like the guy. He was being really polite yesterday but I bet that was just because he wanted me to accept his offer. How am I going to stand him for 12 hours a day?""If you want to stay, then stay but you know that a chance like this might not come knocking on your door anytime soon"She's right. I should take it but. God this is so confusing. "Well I should get going now but you should really think about this M. What did Daniel say?" She asks getting up from the couch."Well we're having dinner today, s

MarieToday, I get up before my alarm. I wake up around 6:30 and just lay in my bed. I tired to sleep but it just wasn't happening. Like I was so insanely tired but still I couldn't sleep. So around 6:45 I gave up and get out of bed.I pull the covers off my body and head to the shower. I put on a navy blue, full sleeved dress that fell to my knees. I wear some blue heels with it and straighten my hair. I apply a very light layer of makeup to make myself look presentable.I make myself some eggs and quickly finish them and clean the dirty dishes. Grabbing my bag from the coffee table I head to my car. It was 7:34. I type in the address of the office on my car GPS.After a good 25 minutes I reach the building. At exactly 8, I make my way to the parking lot to see that it was mostly empty. I park my car and head to the elevator. I pressed the button to the first floor and find a woman sitting at the reception.The building was fancy

MarieThe phone on my desk rang from the 100th time today. What the bloody hell does he want now? I swear he's just doing shit to annoy me. Today is Monday, meaning my first day of the second week. My first week working for the devil was alright but today he's getting on my nerves asking me to run errands that don't even make sense and it's not even 11 am yet? I'm literally going to punch him.I pick up the phone," Mr. Allan office. Marie speaking. How can I help?" I ask even though I know it's him calling."Your voice sounds a bit too robotic don't you think love? I don't want to scare off my potential clients. Could you say that one more time with a little cheerfulness?" I can hear the smirk present on his face.I roll my eyes, "Hello, this is Mr. Allan Office. This is Marie speaking. How can I help?" I say with a fake calm voice."Good. That's so much better. Now if you could come to my office for a second that'd be great!" Befo

MarieMy dream was interrupted by a familiar Beyoncé song playing in the background, a song that also happens to be my call ringtone. I groan against my pillow and grab my phone. Without checking the caller ID I press answer."Hello?" I ask. Who the hell I disturbing me at 9:00 am on a Saturday?"Marie?" A raspy British accent speaks. Mr. Allan. Why is he calling me? Did he want me to come in today? Oh please no!"Mr. Allan? Why are you calling me this early on a Saturday morning?" I ask sitting up and leaning against the headboard."Marie, I want to ask you if you are free tonight" Is he asking me out? I crinkle my nose in disgust. He's met Daniel. Who does he think he is? Or think I am am?"Sir, I have a boyfriend and I think this is very unprofessional-"I was interrupted by rather loud chuckling, "Marie, I'm not asking you on a date love"Almost immediately my cheeks redden, Of course he isn't.

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

Karter"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. Karter Allan, you may kiss your bride." The pastor says."Finally." 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. I was smiling so much that

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

KarterI quickly make a stop at the flower shop before heading over to Marie's place. 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. I can't even sleep in five extra mi

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
