Elaine. I woke up with a groan and stretched my arms above my head as my alarm rang next to the bed. The curtains were open and the brightness was annoying. Fully opening my eyes, I turned off the alarm and noticed that Zack wasn't in bed. In the two days that I've been living with him, I have never woken up earlier than him and I never find him home in the morning. I didn't mind it though because we were both busy. I already contacted some people about the redecoration and I couldn't help but feel estsctic about it. Since I moved out from my shop, that meant that there was more space at the back and having an influencail man like Zack helping me, I could already imagine myself reaching better heights. This deal was really letting me enjoy the benefits and I thought that maybe, just maybe, this could be a blessing in disguise. Sitting up, I ran my fingers through my bed head and sighed. I stood up and went into the bathroom to prepare myself for work. As I brushed my teeth, I look

Elaine. I steadily walked to Audrey's room after a brief talk with the doctor. Immediately I was done with work, I made my way here and I was excited to take her home. Not a crapped room behind the flower shop, but a beautiful house that had all the space she'd need. I couldn't imagine how it could have been if we were to squeeze into a small bed with a flat mattress while we nursed her injury. It was just 5pm and I hoped that she wasn't too tired. I reached her room and slowly opened the door before getting in. "Hello," I greeted with a smile. "You're finally here," Audrey said as she turned to face me. Her bag was already on the bed but it's zipper hadn't been done. "You're packing?" "No. The nurse helped me with that. I wanted to pack the bear too but I'm having trouble zipping it back up." I walked to her bed and tried to zip it up. It was tough but once I succeeded, I looked at her and said, "Easy." She laughed and playfully hit my shoulder. "Says the girl who struggled fo

Elaine. I parked my car in the parking lot and did my best to pull myself out of my seat. The sun was bright and it was a little windy, the perfect day to move around. I wasn't in the mood to do this but I had no choice. Audrey also got out of the car and looked towards the mall with an expectant smile on her face. I groaned, internally wishing that she could share some of her energy with me. We walked into the building and since I forwarded the email that Mrs. Brookes sent me to Zoe this morning, we were supposed to meet her in front of the first store on the list. I pulled out my phone to double-check if I was at the right place. "Over here!" Zoe yelled as she waved her arm about and I looked up from my phone. I smiled and waved back before making my way to her along with Audrey. "You're here early." "I didn't want to keep you waiting." "Well, I hope that you haven't waited long." She shook her head and looked over my shoulder at Audrey. "Your sister?" I nodded and stepped a

Elaine. I looked at myself in the mirror as I practiced different smiles. The big day had finally come and saying that I was nervous was an understatement. My hair was beautifully done in a plaited bun bedazzled with white pearl hairpieces. My makeup was thankfully light and I wore fine diamond jewelry from Zack's company. We were at Zoe's house and despite me being alone in the guest bedroom upstairs, I could hear the activity downstairs. Giving the mirror one last smile, I stood up and walked to the chair where my veil was. Following Zoe and Audrey's advice, I wore a beautiful mermaid dress with a long train. It had transparent sleeves and beautiful pearls that decorated the bust and waist. "You're done?" Audrey asked as she opened the door and walked in. She wore a beautiful, peach dress that was flared and almost reached her knees. It had a sweetheart neckline and a golden necklace complimented the outfit. The more I looked at the accessories that Zack's company made, the more

Zack. I leaned back into the headboard of the bed as I went through the document that I was working on. After trying my best to convince Mrs. Brookes, she sent me one piece of work that I had no problem finishing. The mid-morning sun shone brightly and it was the perfect weather to think. This was the second day that Elaine and I had been here and while I waited for her to finish preparing herself for the day, I decided to busy myself. We had decided to go to the beach for a picnic and I wondered what took her so long in the bathroom when she was only required to wear a swimsuit. My thoughts drifted to our wedding night and I rose my gaze to the bathroom door. Elaine was more bold than I thought. Considering how she behaved at my parent's house, I didn't expect her to seduce me so expertly. But at the same time, she was in a field of playing pretend for who knows how long and who knew what other things she was hiding behind her bubbly exterior. Things moved on as normal but none of
