Emelia’s Point of viewEmelia?” She called my name as I swallowed hard unsure of what to say to her. “What the hell are you doing here?” She asked as I looked around everyone that was talking.I had to tell her the truth or else she won’t let me breath.“We need to talk...” I grabbed her by her arm leading the way to Eleanor’s office.“Oh my God Emelia what are you doing?” She questioned as soon as we were the two of us in the office.“Well turns out your friend Eleanor couldn’t take the pressure of being married off so she ran.” I said to her as she soon her head in disbelief.“No. That’s not possible.” She nonchalantly shook her head as I folded my hands looking at her.“She left without saying anything.”“And you? Why are you acting like her?” She questioned as I swallowed hard shrugging my shoulders“Well mum said that the fashion show must go on. So I am Eleanor for the next nine days.” I explained to her what was happening as she shook her head in disagreement“But that’s impo
Emelia’s Point of viewDays laterLast night after getting home, mum today me that Liam Anderson wanted to meet me. By me, I mean Eleanor. I must admit that Eleanor’s job was exhausting maybe that’s why she ran away.I woke up real early to go for my morning Jog. I sighed heavily thinking of how I might not be the one to be with Liam.After running back home, I went straight to take a shower in the room. “Good morning” I heard Mum’s voice shout from the bedroom as I sighed heavily.“Morning Mum” I replied turning off the taps as I opened the glass door stepping out of the bathroom.“You are leaving early today?’ She asked me as I gave her an affirmative nod. “Have to meet a client of mine before they fly out so yeah” I explained wiping my hair.“Any news on Eleanor?” I asked her. She shook her head.“Mum? We only have a few days, what will happen after that?” I asked her she swallowed hard coming closer to me. I knew that look and what it meant.“I know that I am being a terrible
Emelia’s Point of ViewAfter a long day, I decided to freshen up in Eleanor’s bathroom before I could meet Liam. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, bright red lipstick, dark eye shadow, and short hair. This wasn’t me.After looking at the accounts, I had decided that I would go ahead and do this even though I didn’t tell mum my plans. I was going to do it.“Mia? Are you here?’ I heard Amy’s voice from the office.“Yes? In here” I shouted from the office and she walked into the bathroom. She looked at me then sighed heavily“I didn’t have to find anything that might be to your taste. But I found this dress in my things. I have never worn it before” she said hard me a bag with the clothes.I took out the clothes and it was Black Corseted and Flare Pants Jumpsuit. “Thank you,” I said as I looked at the heels that she came with.“Any news from Eleanor?” She asked me as I took off my clothes so that I could put on the jumpsuit. “Well, I am not sure. But I am sure mom is trying ev
Emelia’s point of viewAfter a few glasses of whiskey with Liam, Jadon offered to dance with me as I shook my head. “No, I am fine.” I turned down his offer.“Come on. You can’t be in a club and not even dance. Please don’t encourage him” He insisted as I chuckled looking at Liam who gestured with his hand for me to go and dance.“You can’t leave me hanging here” Jadon insisted before I stood up, dancing next to him to some club music,I looked at Liam watching me dance with his friend, my eyes locked with him and his gaze was just on me while dancing to Jason Derulo’s swalla.Jadon tried some freestyle dancing which made him look like a lama trying to dance as I let out a peal of laughter and Liam broke out in laughter.“Come dance with me?” I extend my hand to Liam who shook his head.“I don’t dance” he mouthed to me as I shook my head, my hand still waiting. “Come on,” gestured for him as he stood up,He came in front of me as he took a step to the right and then another to the
Emelia’s point of view>>>>>I woke up the next morning with the ray of light hitting my face, I groaned softly as I covered my face. Why was my head throbbing like this?Shit! I was drinking last night! I cuss as I try to sit up, what is the time? I wonder as I struggle to try to sit on the bed. I look on the side of the bed and Liam isn’t there. Did he go to the office?I inwardly ask myself.The events of last night come flashing as I swallow hard, my throat is freaking dry and I am a mess. I look at the floor and it seems he picked up all the clothes and he put them away, on the chair, there’s a robe, a new toothbrush with a note.I grab them before heading into the shower to take a quick shower before I head out, I brush my teeth as look at me in the mirror, I have hickeys on my neck as I sigh heavily.I step out of the shower and put on the t-shirt which was on the chair and made my way stairs. I am not wearing anything under the t-shirt but likely I am slim so the shirt is lo
Liam’s point of view>>>>>Days laterI kept on thinking about Eleanor. Most people have said she is rude, arrogant, and very intolerant but to me, she wasn’t that kind of a person.She was easy-going, cheerful, and kind to a lot of people. Could it be the reason I am drawn to her? I said back in my chair at the fashion show watching the models walk around the leopard print.The room had palm trees around, with real grass around. The backdrop of the runway looked like it was a real jungle, on the two ends it had two real lions with some monkeys in the other cages.I guess this year they went all out. I watched the different designs as I nodded my head this was a much better collection than the show I had attended last year.For the final walk, Eleanor walked on the runway with her muses and another design as she smiled waving around her hand like a royal. “She looks beautiful doesn’t she?” Emma whispered in my eyes as I chuckled nodding my head.“Very” I complimented my eyes fixed
Emelia’s point of view>>>>> “Why did she call you Emelia?” Liam asked me as I swallowed hard wondering what to say to him. My throat felt so dry and my heart was throbbing unsure of what to say.“Sorry. I thought it was someone else. Eleanor, there’s someone who would like to talk to you” Amy was the one that saved me from this awkward moment.“Please excuse me” I hastily walked away, I felt my knees go weak and I stopped on the way back into the bar. Amy rushed to me holding me tight as I looked at her.“Thank you so much,” I said to her as she gave me an affirmative nod.“I think I will just address you as Eleanor even if we are just the two of us,” she said to me as I nodded my head heading back into the party. I went to meet the editor-in-chief for one of the magazines as we chatted.“Well done for making this such a success,” Mum said to me as I nodded my head. I wasn’t sure whether she was talking about Eleanor or me.“I hear the bikini collection was changed a week ago” she
Emelia’s point of view>>> “Are you in touch with Eleanor?” I repeated my question and she swallowed hard looking into my eyes. Why wasn’t she saying anything> did she know where Eleanor is?“Amy?”“I spoke to her last night,” she said to me as I let out an exasperated sigh. I nonchalantly nodded my head walking away from her.‘I am sorry.” She said to me as I stopped in my tracks staring at her.“Where’s she?”“I don’t-““Don’t you fucking lie to me?”“I swear I don’t know where she is. I asked her and she told me that she would let me know when she can” She told me as I nodded my head. It seems like everyone was very comfortable with lying to me.“That’s fine. You know what? Get out of my office” I pointed to the door as she sighed looking at me. ‘Emelia”“I am not your friend Amy. So get the fuck out” I pointed to the door as she nodded her head.“You are right! I am not your friend” she retorted before walking away. I sighed heavily sinking onto the couch, Eleanor was talking to
