Carlos’s pov

I left the house and got into my car as someone knocked on the window.

I noticed it was the butler and ignored him as I looked around for my keys but didn’t see it.

“Where did i put that stuff?” I muttered while searching for it as the knocks came again and again.

“What?!” I yelled, opening the door and standing with my fingers clenched and ready for action.

He stared down to my fingers and sighed before jangling my keys before my face. In that moment, I felt stupid.

He came close to me and dropped the keys on top of the roof of the car before stepping away.

I didn’t know what to say in that moment.

“I still don’t know what master Jules sees in you,” he said which angered me even more.

That felt like an insult. Was he insinuating that I was not worth it?

I looked to the roof and picked up the keys as he turned and started to go back to the house.

“One of these days, you’ll be out of a job and I’ll be here to laugh in your face,” I said after him, but that didn’t slow him

    Julian’s povWe got to the venue as I got out of the car and stepped aside for him to get out. He started to tap on his phone. I looked to what he was typing, but then he removed the screen from me.“I see we are hiding things from each other now,” I chuckled, but he shook his head.“We aren’t. But I can’t have you ruining the surprise with your snooping.”I nodded. “Fine. Alright. I give up. I’m not going to snoop into your phone anymore.”He chuckled. “Look, how about you stop worrying about me and take me to this place you want me to be in. You know, this special place that you say is very good and is wonderful and is the best thing that happens in Sliced bread. I just want to know where this place is.”I chuckled. “Fine. But you have to get off your phone. You’ve been tapping on it since we’ve been in the car. Seriously, I don’t know what you’re typing or what you’re showing out there.”He nodded and tapped on his phone again, then put it in his pocket. “Fine.”I held his hands an

    Carlos’s povThe next morning, my phone buzzed as I turned and picked it up.“Hello,” I said in a groggy voice as his loving voice came over the phone.“Hi, baby. Still asleep?”I chuckled. “Waking me up by…” I stopped and looked at the time before getting back to the call. “8.32 is not really what I’d call, you know, a good thing. I love sleeping in. Till the afternoons.”He chuckled. “I see that. I’m calling to let you know that we have a lot to do today. I want to know if you’re ready for today.”“I am.” I said, sitting up while swinging my legs across the edge of the bed while swinging it around.“You sure? You sound like you had a lot to do yesterday.”A sigh escaped my lips as I rubbed my temple.“I’ve had more than a hectic night. My night was going well before I started to feel a bit tired, you know, from all I had done yesterday, and I tried to sleep. But then people from the office called me, so I had to wake up and start going through a lot at midnight. Like, it’s just been

    Julian’s povHe entered and looked around before I gestured for him to go sit on the same couch my mother had sat in. I looked around and walked to my desk while trailing my fingers around the edges of the desk.I was looking for the most comfortable way to tell him what I had been told. I sighed before looking through the window. The distant lights of the city got to me.I then turned to him. “Do you want to go out and take this night to a different height?”He slowly got to his feet and closed the distance between us with his hands slowly taking mine in his. I smiled when he did that. Everyone I've dated knew my weakness and it was that of touch.“I can tell that something is wrong. Just tell me what the problem is.”I shook my head. Telling him would cause more problems as the relationship was already shaking. I needed to divert whatever we were feeling to a happy mood.“If you don't tell me what you two talked about, how will I know how to fix things?”My phone buzzed but I ignore

    Julian’s povI got back home with Carlos as the butler shuddered away from us after seeing Carlos. They weren’t going to be best of friends anytime soon.“I had a wonderful day today,” he said to me, as I chuckled.“Yeah, well, I wouldn’t call it wonderful with how you sprung the marriage proposal on me.”He nodded. “I am truly sorry about that.”I gave him a shrug. “What’s done is done anyway, all you can do right now is make sure that you don’t do this again to me. Please don’t. I just want you to promise me this won’t happen again.”“I’m not making any promises.”“It’s too soon.”“What was too soon,” a voice said behind me, as I turned to see my mother standing on the grand staircase. She was in the middle. I had not even heard her steps coming down the stairs. Nothing.I gave her a fake smile. “Just things that might affect you in the future.”She walked down the stairs and got to the last step as she leaned on the railing.“Like what?”I turned to Carlos, then turned to my mom. “

    Julian’s povI didn’t know what to do as I was caught off guard. The guests stared at us and I knew whatever actions I took would either make this relationship between Carlos and I get better, or it would destroy us to pieces.What was going to do next? I had no idea, but something had to be done.I looked at the ring. It was pure diamond from what I could see. His face was looking sober. He wasn’t drunk at all. He was serious.The thought of being married brought fear and tension into my mind.I had gone through hell with Silas. Getting married again didn’t seem like something I wanted to do anymore. I just needed sometime to myself. I didn’t need to spend it on anyone else.Getting married to Carlos was something I had not imagined before.I had always thought we’d have fun, yes, but marriage? I mean, dating, yeah, everybody had to date each other to know they were compatible, but marriage seemed too serious. It wasn’t even up to a year before I was broken away from Silas. Now I ha
