Emelia’s Point of view I stood in front of the restaurant as I sighed heavily afraid of taking a step and getting inside. I looked in the reflective mirror looking at my reflection. I was not Emelia this evening but rather my sister Eleanor. I had longer collarbone wavy brown hair with the highlights, I had done a subtle smokey eye make-up on that I haven’t down in months. I wore a Split V-neck Short Sleeve Midi Length Sheath Dress and I settled for black pumps and a clutch. I walked into the restaurant and walked to the reception area as I looked around wondering where Liam Anderson might be sitting. “Good Evening Ma’am” A gentleman approached me before I could get to the reception. “Good evening” “Your Table is this way” He gestured for me to the right side of the restaurant. The place had an explicitly grand ambiance The restaurant is roomy and dark with stained oak trim and finely carved wooden wrap-around bar to one side The seating on the other side is spaced so that
Emelia’s Point of viewAfter I received the call form mum, I drove as fast as I could to the house. I had just finished doing what she wanted me to do now it was time for me to move on with my life.I arrived home and barged in the house looking for mum. I really hoped she wasn’t drinking. “Mum?” I shouted looking for her as I turned on the light.“”Mum?” I shouted as I went to the bar but she wasn’t there. I looked in the kitchen before heading to her room.“MUM!” I knocked before opening the door and letting myself in, I found she was on the bed sobbing silently.“Mum? What happened?” I questioned her as I sat down on the bed and she sniffed back as she shook her head.“Your sister. She… She...” She stuttered before breaking down again as I swallowed hard wondering what really happened.“I wanted to cancel the fashion show when I spoke to the one organizer it. She said that there’s no refund if we decide to go ahead with cancelling everything” Mum said to me as I nodded my h
Liam’s Point of View.I sat in my home office staring at Emma who insisted that I go on a blind date, something just didn’t sit well with me and having to meet a woman organized for me by my family wasn’t what I expected.“Just meet her. If you don’t like how she looks or…” “Snorts when she laughs, I can walk away right?” I asked her as she furrowed her eyebrows. “Snorting? What’s wrong with someone snorting when they laugh?” She asked me as I shook my head.“Are you asking me that?” I asked her and she shrugged her shoulders.“Liam. This is important. You need to make sure that even if you don’t like her you will pretend to do that. Are we clear?” She emphasized as I nodded my head.“Great! Now let’s get you ready because I have to go somewhere” She said to me as she stood up from the chair grabbing her purse as she made her way out the door.I took a deep breath before following her behind and s he led the way to the bedroom. she went to the bedroom and picked out my suit wit
Emelia’s Point of viewI stood frozen as I looked at Liam, I didn’t know how to respond or say to him because he had just caught me off guard. What in heaven’s name was he doing here? My throat was dry. I didn’t know how to go about it because at this point I couldn’t explain what I was doing with these designs.‘Uh... I do have an interest. Something that I do when I am free” I said with a controlled smile, he nodded his head mouthing an ‘oh’ as I nodded my head.“That’s good. I should probably get some advice from you sometimes” He said as I chuckled looking around the parking lot. “Sure. So what are you doing here?” I asked him as he sighed heavily/‘I am here to meet someone for coffee. Want to join?” He offered me with a smile on his face., I shook my head thinking I shouldn’t even bother to go with him.“No thanks. I have to go right now” I declined his offer knowing I couldn’t keep up with my acting for too long.“Shame. Maybe another day?” He asked me as I nodded my head.
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

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.

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
