The next morning, I woke up with the worst headache ever. I wanted to throw up, my tummy hurt, everything hurt. One thing was certain, I wasn’t going to drink alcohol ever again, that thing was terrible. I tried to get out of bed but I feared I was going to fall. The loud knock on my door sounded like it was going on in my head. “Come in,” I managed to say “Look who’s awake,” Zac said, staring at meThe details from the previous night were now a blur and I hoped they remained that way. From the way he looked at me, I could tell I had said something or maybe done something. I avoided his eyes, I didn’t want him to see me this way. “I brought you chicken noodle soup,” he said as he placed the soup on my table. “It’s going to help with the hangover, you have to drink lots of water too.” “Thank you,” I murmured. I wasn’t sure I could eat the soup, I feared I was going to throw it up. “I’m going to the office today, I have a few things to sort out,” “Oh,” I didn’t hide my disap

“Are you drunk?” Zac asked as we entered his limousine I shook my head and held back my laugh. I’ve never been drunk before but for some reason, I couldn’t stop laughing even though there was nothing funny. “Oh my goodness, you’re drunk,” Zac gasped. “How many glasses of champagne did you have?”I shrugged, “I don’t know,”I may have had one, three or five glasses but who knew? It was the waiter’s fault for always having glasses of champagne on their tray. “I can’t believe this,” he shook his headI couldn’t tell if he was disappointed in me. I stared at him with wide eyes then he started laughing and I joined him. “Jane Ackerman, you’re quite the character, aren’t you?” He laughed again “I could listen you laugh all day,” I confessedI should have kept my mouth shut but I couldn’t control myself. When we walked around, hands in hands, it made me feel like we were an actual couple and for a moment, I wished that was the case. I liked the way he looked at me, the way he let me

Zac and I were talking to a business partner when I spotted Mr Burke and Olivia from the corner of my eyes. I almost concluded they weren’t going to show up but they did. Mr Burke had a scowl etched on his face, he looked like he was about to strangle someone. Olivia looked upset but as usual she looked beautiful, she wore a red dress that accentuated her features. I wished her attitude matched her beauty, she would have been the perfect girl ever. I tapped Zac slightly and cocked my head in their direction. We excused ourselves from the man we were talking to and began walking towards Mr Burke and his daughter. Zac placed his hand on my waist. “They are very intimidating people, they’ll scare you but you don’t ah e anything to worry about,”I nodded. I didny feel scared at all. Maybe it was because I had quite an amount of alcohol in my system or maybe it was because I had on a beautiful dress and I felt like a sexy woman. “Zac,”Mr Burke's voice was gruff and harsh. The sc

The day of the gala arrived. It was a gala hosted by some of the most influential businessmen and tech investors in the country, and Zac had hired a stylist to make sure there was no room for error.I stood in front of the full-length mirror while two women hovered around me, fixing, adjusting, perfecting. My dress was nothing like what I would have chosen for myself and maybe that was the point. I’d usually go for something simple because I liked to play it safe or I’d wear any dress Nate picked out. But tonight, I felt sexy, I felt like a grown woman who could do whatever she liked.It was a floor length satin gown in a deep emerald green, hugging my waist before flowing effortlessly to the floor. The back dipped just low enough to be daring without being scandalous, and the slit on the side revealed my leg when I walked, subtle but intentional. My hair was styled in waves that cascaded down my back, I never wore my hair like that, it was always in a bun. My makeup was elegant gl

Rosa decided to spend the weekend with us, it was wholesome. She went about telling whoever cared to listen that I was her future daughter in law. I wasn’t upset, it was kind of cute and playful. Zac was always at the back reminding her that I was engaged to Nate. I wasn’t oblivious to her playing match maker, she’d make us do things together or she’d make side comments that made me blush and made Zac embarrassed.The previous day, she had written down a grocery list and insisted that we get it ourselves instead of Mr Vincent. Zac grumpily agreed. It was cute, seeing the back and forth between him and his mother. Today, she had written another list, she wanted fruits from the store and she asked if we could go get it together. “Why is my mom trying to match us?” Zac asked as we pulled out of the driveway, one hand on the steering wheel, the other drumming lightly against it.I laughed, adjusting my seatbelt. “Trying? She’s not subtle at all. Your mother wants a wife and a child

Rosa and I held hands as we walked into the salon, Zac following behind us grumpily. She just got back from her trip and she brought back a lot of things for me. Zac decided to resume the tradition of taking his mother to her appointments. I could tell it was difficult for him but I assured him it was going to be alright. The salon smelled like lavender and vanilla, the kind of scent that instantly made your shoulders relax. Soft music played in the background, something jazzy and slow. The attendants recognized Rosa immediately.“Mrs Gonzalez! We’ve missed you,” one of them chirped.Rosa beamed. “I’ve missed you girls too. This is my Jane,” she said proudly, squeezing my hand as if she was introducing her own daughter.Zac cleared his throat behind us. “I’ll be right here,” he muttered, already pulling out his phone like he was preparing for battle.Rosa laughed. “You always act like this place will swallow you whole.”“It almost did once,” he replied dryly. “Four hours, mom.
