Alissa woke up, looking at the alarm clock at 7:15. She quickly got up from her bed and took a shower. She wrapped the towel around her body and opened her closet. She was fiddling with her clothes, still thinking about what to wear. She finally decided to wear a black v-neck top and a white pencil skirt. Her hair are naturally curly, so she just did a little bit of touch up in that and made them look presentable.
She wore a smoking eyeshadow and light pink lipgloss. She looked at the time 8:10. She quickly planted a kiss on her sister's cheek.
"All the best" Jade said.
"Thanks" Alissa smiled and went downstairs, and quickly locked the door with the spare key. She sat in a cab and told that driver the place. After 20 minutes, she reached there. She paid the amount and went inside the company. There was a receptionist, who was chewing gum. She was not looking much bothered about what was happening around her.
She went towards her and asked politely "Where is Mr Eric Williams's cabin? I have an interview"
The receptionist looked at her and looked at her attire. She smirked and said "I hope he could do better than this, anyways, floor 44 down the corridor on the left"
Alissa frowned and thought to fight back but didn't want to create drama so she let it go. She stepped inside the elevator and pressed the 44-floor button.
Ding!!!
She stepped out of the elevator and went down the corridor. On the left was a door, on top of it was written 'Eric Williams' and on down of it 'CEO'. She saw there were some chairs, she sat on it and thought to go inside now or wait for some moments. Suddenly, Josh who was passing by from there stopped and looked at Alissa. He went towards her and said politely "Can I help this pretty lady in any way?"
Alissa looked up at him and said "Yeah, I came for the interview, can I go in there now?"
"That receptionist, haven't told you that you can go inside"
Alissa shook her head in no.
Josh scrunched his eyebrows and said "Surely, she only knows how to wink at men and criticize women, anyways, just a minute I'll go inside and ask him. Wait here"
He went inside and a few moments later, he came out of the cabin and said "You can go there. All the best. He may make you feel like he is arrogant and all but still he is a nice guy" Josh said.
Alissa smiled and said "Thanks" he winked at her and left.
She knocked on the door and a raspy and professional voice came "Come in"
She opened the door and saw that a man was sitting on the chair. She couldn't see his face because his chair was turned around. She stared at the back of his chair. Only his head was visible. Hair nicely slit back.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare huh?" He harshly said.
She jumped a bit and quickly went towards the chair in front of the table. He turned around and Alissa was kinda got blown away by his looks.
She sat on the chair. Eric looked at her. She was looking good enough for an interview. She was just looking at his face. Memorizing his features. Blue eyes, perfectly shaped lips, his hair were looking so silky.
"So Alissa Lawrence" She was brought back to reality.
"As you know the first impression is the last impression and you've already given me your first impression and that is to get lost in your own little world all the time" he said rudely.
"No, it's no-" She got cut off by Eric saying
"And on top of that, you have to argue" Eric said in a harsh voice.
He huffed and started reading the information about Alissa written on his computer.
"Okay, so you have written you are a fast learner. Is it so?" Eric asked.
She smiled and nodded. She realised it was stupid to smile.
She made a serious face. Actually tried to make a serious face.
"Umm....you worked in a restaurant. For 3 years. Can you guarantee that you will not leave the job?" He asked with a serious face.
"Yes" Alissa answered confidently.
"Why should I keep you as my personal secretary?" He asked, emphasising the word 'you'.
"Umm....as you already know I am a fast learner. I like to take responsibilities. I am a calm headed girl. I am not a sassy little diva" Alissa said, nervous that she might have said something wrong.
Eric stared at her and said "You can go, we will call you if you'll get the job"
Alissa stood up from her seat and left the company.
Eric was a little amused. He never saw a girl like this. He was sitting on his chair, recalling the lines Alissa said 'I am not a sassy little diva'
He let out a small laugh. "Interesting girl" he said to himself, getting up from the chair and going to the cafe.
Epilogue~6 years later~"God you smell so good" Eric said while kissing Alissa's shoulder.They both were still so in love with each other and were still going strong and knew that, that is how it always will be like. They both started kissing each other. They were so into that kiss. They didn't care about anything else."Mommy, daddy look" The voice of their 3-year-old daughter Erina came.They both quickly pulled apart stood in an awkward position with an awkward expression on their faces."Yes, baby" Alissa said."What happened? You two look weird""I was just helping mommy in making breakfast. It's really delicious and smells fantastic." Eric said with a creepy smile on his face."Come with me fast. See what Naomi did" Erina said. Their oldest daughter who was 5 years old, also a little clums
Alissa and Eric were busy shopping and Alissa was dying with curiosity, thinking what will be the surprise that Eric is going to give her. They bought a cute white T-shirt on which a teddy bear was holding a balloon in his hand. Then they bought a white fluffy soft pyjama. It was so comfy and soft. Then they both went to the restaurant and it was already 7:00 pm. Eric said that they should eat some snacks so that they won't be hungry till they will reach home and also then they can eat some special meal for dinner.They sat in their Lamborghini and after few minutes reached their apartment. Alissa thought that he must have forgotten about the surprise and must be tired till now so she should not ask him about it. As Eric opened the door, the lights remained off. Alissa took a few steps further and looked behind her to find Eric was not there. But how this possible, he was right here beside her. She thought. But as she looked in front she saw that lights went on. There w
The wedding was glamorous. The cake was beautiful and tasty. The dance was full of joy and Eric and Alissa danced with so much joy. Their couple dance was the most romantic sight. They danced to the song 'Beautiful in white'. Alissa danced with Richard as well. It was awkward for Alissa at first but he gave her his blessings and Alissa gave him a small hug in return. They played the newlywed games. Alissa even threw the bouquet which fell in the hands of Cassandra. Eric is pretty suspicious now because he saw her and a boy in the wedding flirting way too much. But let's put that aside.When the wedding was over Eric and Alissa both intertwined their hands with each other. They left for their honeymoon with the blessing of their elders. Eric and Alissa were going to Los Angeles. They both were so excited. The honeymoon destination was unknown to Alissa since Eric wanted to surprise her. When they entered their private jet Eric told her where they were heading to and Alis
Wedding DayCan it get more exciting? Or can I be more nervous than this? Or can I be more happier than this? Can this be real? Or is it a dream? All these questions were roaming in Eric and Alissa's head. Finally, the day has arrived when Alissa will be marrying the love of her life and Eric will be marrying the love of his life. They both were equally excited and equally nervous. Alissa was in her room almost ready. Only the veil is left to be put on her head. The two ladies brought her veil and it was the most beautiful veil one could ever ask for. Alissa looked at her reflection in the mirror and she believed that she is the most beautiful person right now.Eric on the other hand was also in his room and his brother Ethan made him wear his white stylish coat. The hairstylist slicked his hair back and Eric gave him a nod. He was so ready to finally marry the girl he has ever loved. Ethan gave him a pat on his back and gave him a reassur
AlissaEveryone was very excited to know what was the game. And it was 'The nearly wed-game""Can I have your attention please?" Cassandra said."Thank you. So in this game, we have a bowl of small chits with questions written on them. We will ask those questions from the bride and we will see how much does she remember this. We will ask some questions regarding her and Eric. After she answers we will play a small clip of Eric in which he has already answered. So, I hope you all will enjoy it. Alissa, please sit on this chair" Cassandra said and I sat on the chair.She picked up a bowl from a table with a bunch of chits inside that and probably some interesting questions. She picked out a chit and opened it."Okay, so the first question. Who said I love you first?""Me" I said.They played the clip and Eric said "Alissa"Everyone started h
AlissaI am very excited because today is my bridal shower. Yeah. I am super excited. My dress is so beautiful. Like, it caught my eye, the first time I saw it. It is so gorgeous. Eric and dad are gonna stay with Ethan at his apartment because obviously, it is a bridal shower. No boys allowed. From my side, only Jade and Eleanor are there. But, there will be Josephine, Cassandra and there will be 10-15 girls more. I think more than 15 to 20. They have a big squad. We will dance, sing, play games and all the other fun things. I looked at the clock and it was 9:30 am and I have already taken a shower and Jade is almost ready. Cassandra insisted I get ready at their mansion because she wanted to help me in getting dressed up. I packed my dress, jewellery, shoes and other things in a bag.Jade quickly came out wearing a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans because she is also going to get dressed over there. Cassandra has already booked a limo for us. My god, I t
AlissaDates are already decided. The dresses are all ready. The venue has been decided. Honeymoon is decided. Rituals and ceremonies have been decided. Maid of Honor has been decided. Jade, no doubt. Eleanor will be at the wedding too. But, who's gonna make me walk down the aisle? There's the thing. I don't actually have a family. That kinda makes me miserable sometimes. But I know Eric very well. Even if the earth collides he will never allow Richard to walk me down the aisle cause even if he says that he has forgiven them there is still that glint of anger in him. I am still in the office and when I felt that these thoughts are occupying my brain I made my way towards Eric's cabin. I knocked and his raspy voice replied "Come in"I entered the office and he smiled while looking at me and closed his file on which he was working. I sat on the chair in front of him and he looked at me with a puppy face."That's not fair" He

AlissaIt's been a week now since he and his parents have sorted out the issues. I, on the other hand, wants to talk to Eric about our marriage. He is not saying much about our marriage and I am desperate to know what is the plan. Today, I have a date with Eric and I want to talk to him about our marriage. Jade was pretty excited when she came to know that I was ready to get married. I quickly got ready for the date and Eric picked me up from my home. I, first thought to talk about it later someday but convinced myself that the sooner the better.I just don't want to push him to do that if he is not ready yet. But I have to talk about it. We soon reached the restaurant and it was grand. We entered and soon were sitting on our chairs. Eric has already reserved it for us. We started a conversation. Our food and appetizers were in front of us. I took a sip of my appetizer and cleared my throat. Ready to speak."Eric, I wanted
