Eric got to the restaurant at exactly 7 pm. He had discarded his suit and was now putting on a dark fitted shirt and pants with a black jacket. His hair was styled in his favourite way and he hoped Annie likes the way he styled it.
Since the restaurant was a five-star restaurant, he booked a VIP spot for them.
Twenty-five minutes passed without any sign of Annie and Eric became kind of sad with the thought of her not showing up.
“So what do you think?” Eric smiled as he watched out for his youngest sister’s reaction.He just finished giving her a tour of the private suite they will be staying for the weekend.“I love it, Eric. Thank you!” She whispered, trying to hold back tears.She walked towards
“Wake up sleepy head.” Annie heard a loud voice say from her sleep.“Go away.” She mumbled as she snuggled closer to the pillow.“Annnnnieeeee, wake up.” The voice said again.“Give me twenty minutes, Ella.” She mumbled with her eyes closed.
Annie and Ella spent the day cleaning the apartment after which they lazily crashed on the carpet in the living room, going over Annie’s new project idea on her laptop.They were interrupted when the doorbell rang.“That must be Claire and Jayden” Annie responded to Ella’s questioning eyes. Before she could stand up to go open the door, Ella beat her to it.
“I can tell you enjoyed yourself.” Evelyn directed her question to her last born who was seated beside her husband. Laura's head was on her Dad's shoulder.“Yes, mom. This is like the best birthday I’ve ever had.” She grinned.“I remember you saying the same thing last year.” Her mom mocked, referring to her thirteenth birthday last year where they threw a huge party for her.
Annie found it difficult to fall asleep after reading the romantic text Eric sent her which made her stomach flip. He knew how to make a woman feel special.She woke up feeling nauseous, left her bed for the bathroom, buried her face in the toilet and puked in it. A tear rolled down her cheeks as she puked the more.She has heard a lot about morning sickness but she never knew it could be this bad.
Eric intertwined his hands with Annie’s own and led her to his car.He opened the front passenger’s door for her, she got settled and he made his way to the driver’s seat.They were both quiet during the drive until Eric decided to start a conversation.“I spoke to my family abou
Annie took a break from attending to her customers when it was almost lunchtime. She wanted to rest a little and of course, find something to eat.As soon as she stepped into her office, her phone buzzed, indicating a message just came in. She took it out of her pocket and smiled as soon as she saw the message was from Eric.“As promised I got lunch covered for my angels. The delivery guy is waiting outside, go get your lunch from him. Take care.” Eric.
“It’s okay Ella, you know I don’t like putting too much makeup on.” Annie groaned but Ella did not pay attention to her. Instead, she concentrated on the magic she was doing on Annie’s face.Ella, Claire and Jayden were getting Annie ready. She agreed to be Eric’s date at a function tonight.“You don’t have any choice, Ann. I want you to be the most beautiful woman in that event tonight. And if possible, I want to see your face
