-NATHAN-
Standing up I patted the hood of the car. “Good save James.” He nodded from inside, I walked into the car and shut the door once I sat down. “It would not hurt if you tell me that you have given Helena to your parents for the night, plonker.”
No reply.
Pretty much nothing happened in the there, then why is my wife frowning at me and giving me silent treatment? Sighing I reached for her hand but she snatched it back. “Give me a chance to explain.”
I saw her eyes move to the front mirror where you could see James concentrated on the road but he shouldn’t be hearing this. I leaned over and closed the shutter of the space so that he could no longer hear us when Anastasia, herself leaned over and opened it. “Sorry for that James.”
James looked at me through the mirror, I shrugged. “Monroe?” I closed the shutter again only for it be opened by Anastasia.

-ANASTASIA-When your maid of honor becomes your best man‘You might think why am I saying that? Well my friends it is true. I know someone who has to be the best man because he can’t be the maid of honor. It is funny but when you think of it, it actually makes sense. And any friend shouldn’t be disappointed in becoming a best man.I actually have the honor of becoming maid of honor for two upcoming weddings and nothing has made me this happy… and other reasons also which I will come to any second. Now if you have stories of maid of honor becoming best man or vice versa you should tell me. and don’t be embarrassed if can’t be the best man and have to be the maid of honor, just do it with a smile after all your best friend is getting married.Well about those other reasons… I have another increase in followers thanks to you guys due to which the children in the orphanage are making more money thi
-ANASTASIA-“You look better than when you had Helena’s milk on your clothes before.” Nathan said smirking when I came down the stairs, I pushed my hair to the side and looked at my dress. It was a lovely lavender sleeveless dress that had princess-seamed bodice and a plunging V-neckline. The dress stopped an inch before my knees, it was one of the ones he bought for e but didn’t see me wearing it.“I am wondering if it is a compliment.” I wondered out loud fixing Nathan’s collar that was slightly upturned.He chuckled. “I meant you clean up nice. You look beautiful.” Blushing I thanked him and rode Helena’s stroller out of the house.“Is Maria ever coming back?” I didn’t have a problem looking after Helena or the house but I missed her and her advice. Also it was always better to have a third person to look after Helena especially at parties and stuff.H
-ANASTASIA-The entire dressing room for the bride was filled with people trying to get to the bride and some of them still getting ready. It is starting to get on my nerves, I had suggested to Natalie that we kick them out but she said it was fine as long as everyone is happy and excited.I don’t know if my anger and intolerance is from yesterday night or my hangover, probably the almost steamy night. And your guess is right, things are very awkward. Today morning when I went to get Helena for a bath he was also there which happens very rarely anyway he came forward to kiss me but I turned my head and he got my cheek.I tried to start a conversation but Nathan said, “Its fine. Will see in the wedding.” No it is not fine… we almost had sex, that would be breaching what we had decided on when all of this happened. It was not on his contract but it was there in bold letters in the contract that I had made for myself.
-ANASTASIA-I removed her blanket just slightly enough to let air come in and she doesn’t feel hot. The summer heat was far worse than expected and Helena of all people noticed it more. I kissed her forehead and switched her baby monitor before going downstairs.I have to clean this place, ever since Helena started to crawl and eat a lot more than milk the house is always in a mess. I picked all the tiny toys strewn here and there and then carried all the clothes from the laundry to my room to fold them.Natalie and Adam went for their honeymoon two weeks ago and Priya’s wedding was next month, so right now there was a lot of peace in the house expect when Helena is awake. Nathan and I are learning new things daily which leads to small arguments that end up okay if not bad. I haven’t told him yet how I feel about him because I know he doesn’t feel that way but you can’t stop me from hoping.I removed my overs
-ANASTASIA-After I got over the shock I decided to check on the damage that has already be done. There recording was around thirty five minutes long from the time Dave had entered the room. Even seeing him again had my nerves up, thankfully our faces weren’t clear due to the jewelry box providing some sort of darkness, the video stopped right when I came close to the camera.Shit! However worse or guilty I was feeling I had to do something, there were hundreds of messages asking if I was okay and praises for Nathan. I decided to put in a message to clear their doubts.‘Hi guys. I am assuming you have all seen the video by now. This happened at a friend’s house where my screen was on without my knowledge but she is fine at present as her husband came at the right moment. Thank you for the concern and I will be updating her status in a few days.’KeyI couldn’t write even if I wanted to
-NATHAN-Her friend walked towards me just as Anastasia closed the door behind her… I should probably not be angry that he got to kiss her because he is gay. Isn’t he? Or does he like Anastasia and is pretending in front of her?I am going to have Stella run some background checks. Just as he reached the car I drove off leaving him hanging in his bloody towel. Bloody hell! I slammed my fist on the steering wheel in frustration I don’t, DON’T have feelings for her then why in god’s name am I feeling jealous?It is just an attraction I feel nothing more but why didn’t I tell her ‘I don’t know’... this was supposed to be a done deal not one where she falls for me in the process. What I did today was wrong but when I got the message that the bloody ex of hers came to my house.I panicked... I thought she is going to cheat on me and leave me like Jocelyn that fear is keeping me away from h
-ANASTASIA-“Cain I will see you at the café later. Okay?” I called out from the front door, he went to get dressed just before I had to go. I heard say fine so I closed the door and went outside his gate to wait for my uber when I saw James park in front of me. My brow raised in confusion. “Good morning James?”He nodded and opened the door of the car. “Ready when you are ma’am.”So he sent James to pick me up when I asked him not to come. Seriously when will Nathan stop controlling my life? I checked my phone to see that my uber driver cancelled since there was a family emergency. Sighing I got into the car feeling grumpy, I noticed the small smile on James’ face. “He did not win. And call me Tasha or Mrs. Dominic not ma’am.”“Yes ma’am... sorry Mrs. Dominic.”We reached home within minutes, I took a few breaths before getting out. How is t
-ANASTASIA-“Why didn’t you tell me that she was going to be here?” Priya asked annoyed at Cain, who shrugged in reply.I thought he was going to have some good reason that might make her want to stay. “Priya please just listen to me and then you can go.” She pushed her chair back in so I held her wrist to stop her. “Please.”“Priya just listen to her once.” Priya looked between us and then sighed before taking a seat.I sat beside Cain and offered her the muffin again and this time she took it from me with a glare but regardless bit into it, I knew she wouldn’t say no to the muffin. “Priya, I created that website years back if I remember correctly I think I was 13.”“Nerd.” Cain mocked beside me making me punch his shoulder. “You created a website at 13 what else am I supposed to call you?”Priya chuckled. “Maybe human geni
