Like the second dress, this one was also black. She ran her hand across the cloth’s edge. It felt like suede but looked like fine silk, no doubt of the finest quality. It seemed like eternity before she finally wore the dress. It was tight just below the ribcage and loose around her neck, black as night. It flared under her waist, stopping just two inches above her knees. The back of the cloth was a wide opening that showed her neck to the base of her spine. Alexis whistled to herself.Now, this was a killer outfit. It was more of a street sexy, rather than an extravagant sexy. Exactly her type of clothing. She turned to Haley, feeling confident. From the look on Haley’s face too, she was certain this was the one.‘’It’s lovely,’’ Haley said.‘’I choose this one.’’‘’Wonderful.’’ Haley sounded relieved. ‘’Now, let’s move to the shoes section.’’Alexis gathered her old clothes and followed after her. ‘’Could I get a sneakers instead?’’ Alexis asked.‘’With that gown?’’ Haley scoffed.

The man must have caught up to it as well and he immediately changed the topic. As they were discussing business, Alexis turned her attention to the building. The inside was really beautiful, and the designs were sleek, clean, and of good quality. She had no doubt that even the marble floor underneath their feet was going to be squeaking clean if she touched them.She was about to react to her intrusive thoughts when Haven suddenly called out to her. She halted, her hands inches from touching the marble floor. Haven and the man stared at her, blinking. She straightened up, laughing lightly, her cheeks red from embarrassment. ‘’I thought I saw something on the floor.’’ She lied.‘’Let’s go.’’ Haven reached out to take her hand. She grabbed it without hesitation and he guided them both to a far corner of the lobby.‘’You don’t like that man?’’ The question was out of her mouth before she knew it. She remembered his rigid self and how he had looked hot when he was angry. ‘’I don’t like

‘’I said don’t tell me what to do.’’ She removed her hand from his. ‘’I am the one doing you a favor here.’’‘’I am paying you.’’ He retorted.‘’Screw you and your money.’’ She clearly didn’t mean that.She stepped backwards, her heels clicking against the marble floor. ‘’Arrogant bastard. Fucking idiot. You think you’re all that, huh?!’’ Haven frowned, taking a step closer to her. ‘’Stop.’’‘’Don’t tell me what to do!’’Her little shout caught the attention of those in the room and suddenly all eyes were on them. She could hear their tiny voices talking, gossiping about them. Haven wanted a rumor, well, he would be getting one from the looks of things.‘’You’re making a fool of yourself.’’ She heard him say.‘’I am making a fool of myself? All day, you’ve been a pain in the butt. But I thought I could put up with it cause I need the money but that doesn't mean you can dictate how or what I do.’’Haven frowned but quickly recomposed himself. ‘’I am paying you.’’‘’That’s all you have

"What are you saying?" she asked. Haven held her hands, his thumbs running circles on her skin. “I’m saying the whole circumstance that brought us together has blinded us to see what has been growing inside of us. Alexis, I think I’m in love with you.“"Haven," she whispered, "I think I'm falling in love with you too." She said with a whole lot of emotions. And it felt like a burden was lifted of her immediately she said those words, thereafter came a soft smile that was unique and uncommon.Alex had always engrossed herself in a high self esteem on her composure and calmness. It was one of those things that made her different. But today was not that day that grace was going to be upheld.The morning sunlight came peeping through the curtains, giving off a warm glow over the bedroom as Alexis came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a white towel.Her mind was busy with the details of her arranged marriage to Haven. It was not that she denied having feelings for him, by the way they sha

After everything, the mornings mishap had became more than just an unintentional incident, it was a stand out moment in their adventures together, a reminder that the feeling for each other can grow beyond limits even in the most unseen situations.A voice came out of the living room, echoing everywhere. “Haven, where are you?” She shouted.“I’m right here, there is no need to shout and disturb everyone, Alexis.” He said Haven's voice looked calm and collected.Alexis turned to face him, “Oh, there you are. Do you mind explaining why you cancelled dinner plans, without informing me first?” Her voice spitting out rage.Haven looked up, his eyes not giving emotions. “I sent a text message about two hours ago. It’s not my fault that you don’t check your phone often.”"A text message?" Alexis scoffed, fumbling in her purse to retrieve her phone. "That's how you communicate with your wife now? Just a text, what happens oti dropping a call?”As she opened her phone and started scrolling thr
