A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 22
Ring…Ring… I jumped out of my bed like my ass was on fire. I glance at the clock and I just have an hour and a half before Luke comes to pick me up. I wonder if William told Luke about what happened yesterday and if Luke was picking me up just to scold me.I dash into the bathroom and do the necessities. Once I was done with that, I styled my hair into a center-parting ponytail and lotion my body before opening the cloth bag Hazel had sent earlier.I put on the black with white polka dot A-line gown that stops a little below my mid-thigh and It had see-through long puffy sleeves. I paired it up with the black thigh leather heel boots and a white cute bag placed in the shopping bag.I loved the outfit but there was no time to admire myself in the mirror. I spritz on perfume before rushing to the kitchen to have toast and my daily dose of mocha.Once I was done, I washed my plate and mug and made my way down to wait for Luke.Luke arrived not up to a minute later and I got in the car a

I dozed off in my outfit immediately after I got home yesterday and it wasn’t until later when I woke up that I changed out of the clothes.My ringtone stirred me from my sleep and I reached out for it on my nightstand half asleep as I slid accept on the screen. This has become my morning alarm wake-up call each day“Good morning Bailey.”“Good morning Hazel, you’ve got to stop calling me so early.” I groan yawning.“I’m sorry. I just wanted to let you know what I have planned for your schedule today.”“Alright, lay it on me.”“You have the other half of your wardrobe shopping today-” she says and I interrupt her with a groan. “-Today’s shopping will also include make-up.”“I don’t use make-up that much, so we don’t need to get that.”“Okay, so I’ll scratch that off.” We are also doing hair and skin products and we are meeting a designer who is going to take your measurements for your event outfits and also for any other outfit you’d have to wear. Don’t worry Bailey, today’s shopping

After messaging May, I hopped into the bathroom to have my bath. I spent a little bit more time in the bathroom under the shower before coming into my room to apply lotion on my skin.Hazel came over yesterday when I wasn’t around and helped me arrange my new wardrobe, I am super grateful for her. She already grouped clothes that go well together. My wardrobe was filled with basically only designer clothes.I pulled one out of the wardrobe and placed it on my bed. I decided to curl my hair today so I started that first by putting in the pins and rollers before making my way over to the kitchen to make egg pancakes for breakfast.I open the drawers and mix the flour, sugar, milk, and eggs. I get my pan ready for frying. After frying, I place the pancakes on two separate plates because knowing Hazel I doubt she has had anything to eat this morning with the workload she has. I covered the one for her with a wrap and dug into mine.After eating and washing my plate, I walked back to the r

The lady from earlier walks back to our table. “Hi, My name is Calla Magnolia, the owner of this bakery and Mr. Armani informed me to go with anything you wanted Mrs. Simmons so we are just going to jump right into the cake tasting.” She says and I nod as Shayna hoots while I roll my eyes at her.Calla excuses herself for a minute before returning with multiple carts and a bottle of wine which she places on the table.“So I am going to give you all notepads." She says handing us all a small pad and pen.“You’re going to rate the cakes from the best to your worst to help you choose the flavor that you all liked best and then the bride-to-be gets the final say,” she says and we nod.“I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you are getting married, I am so happy for you kid,” May said as we all walked behind Calla.“Thanks, May,” I said, giving her a fake smile. My heart grew heavy and I wished I could tell May that this wasn't a real wedding but I knew I couldn't.We walked into

“Do you like the black one or the red one?” Alois asks, showing me the two silk gowns.“The black.”“Okay people, let’s get a move in, We only have about three hours to make my belle femme shine. Chap! Chap!” He says, clapping his hands and talking to his team.I was led into the bathroom first to take a shower, and once I was pruned properly, they began on my toenails and fingernails while someone started on my hair.I remember saying I didn’t want to deal with William again for a while but it seems like the universe is just against me cause it really doesn’t like me even at all. Earlier today, Hazel informed me that William and I would be attending a charity event to raise money for foster kids. I guess you don’t judge a book by its cover, turns out William always donates to this charity event yearly even though he never attends it in person. William booked two hotel rooms closer to the event venue for us to get ready so we could get to the event in time.Once my fingernails and toe

“Welcome Mr. Armani.” The security at the door says receiving a nod from William as he uses a card to open the door for us. Immediately we walk in, William drops his hands from mine and I awkwardly use both hands to hold my purse in front of me.My eyes flutter as I try to get my eyes to see clearly from the blinding lights out there. I smoothed my dress as I glanced at my surroundings. The hall was enormous with round tables and chairs in almost every corner with a sparkling chandelier hanging in the center of the room. Most people weren’t seated yet, they were mingling with each other, making conversations, I felt very much out of place.I could see the catering staff dressed up in their uniform with trays in their hands that had most likely champagne-filled flutes on them serving the standing guests.The plan was simple: stick to William’s side through the night, keep to myself but also try mingle with people but not to stray from William. Talk about our relationship, make sure to
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 29
Oh God! I was a mess. I was running around my room looking like a headless chicken. I hope I don’t forget anything behind with this awful last-minute packing.What was I thinking about sleeping so early yesterday? I should have done this yesterday instead of right now. William will be arriving in less than two hours and everything was a mess. I haven’t even taken a shower yet nor talk of brushing my teeth. I pulled out the light hand luggage Hazel bought for me yesterday and unzipped it, throwing in the outfit she picked that I would wear for the next two days. I threw in a clean towel, pajamas, and whatever necessities I needed to get me through this weekend. Once I go through my mental checklist and tick the items on this mental list of mine, I dash into the bathroom to take a shower as fast as I can. Once I was done bathing, I pulled my hair into a ponytail as I put on the graphic black tee and light jeans before knotting my shoelaces and ensuring I was well-equipped with everyth
