Karter
My alarm clock started buzzing and I immediately woke up. Monday mornings are horrific. I turn off my alarm clock and get out of the warmth of my bed. I decide to take a nice hot shower to wash the sleep away. I'm extra exhausted today but I'm not like in a bad mood. I'm tired but happy. I don't know if that makes sense or not.
After showering I walk into my wardrobe and pick out a navy blue suit. I don't think I've ever worn this before so I decide to today. I'll be honest, half of the clothes in my wardrobe are untouched. I just have so many clothes. Perks of being a billionaire I guess.
By the time I was fully ready it was 7:30. I walk downstairs and I'm greeted by a smiling Brenda and Millie. Milli

MarieAll day at work today, I was lost in my own thoughts. It's been a week since I said yes to Daniel and today is the day I take that back. I can't do this and the longer I hold onto Daniel, the more I hurt him. I need to let him go. I can't really do this anymore.It's a Friday so I know Daniel is off today, I need to go see him. I still have to two more hours till work ends but I can't sit here like this. I need to see Daniel right now.I quickly get up from my seat and walk to Karter's office. I knock on his door and before hearing a come in, I walk inside.Karter looks up at me and furrows his eyes in confusion, "Marie?""I'm sorry for barging into your office but there's been a slight emergency. I was wondering if I could be excused from work early?" I ask."Is everything alright?" Karter asks concerned."Yes. No. Maybe. Can I please me dismissed?" I basically beg."Yes sure. Go ahead." Karter smiles.

MarieMy entire weekend has been shit, I'm just being honest. I was in front of my television for 48 hours straight, eating junk that will probably kill me. As you can tell, I'm copping up with a break up, perfectly.I usually always spend my weekends with Daniel, we're practically inseparable on the weekends. This was my first weekend in years that I was alone. I know what you're thinking, why am I even sad? I broke up with him because I wasn't in love with him. Do I regret it all? Of course not. I know that I made the right choice letting him but it's hard letting him go fully.Daniel has been in my life for so long, we've shared so many amazing moments together. He was my first love, my first ever serious

2 months laterMarieGetting up today I decide to take a shower. Today's a Friday so no work for two whole days! Thank you God! After getting ready I head to my car. I'm not hungry at all today so no breakfast, I'll probably stop at Starbucks and maybe get something to eat.I reach my office to see Karter already in his. He's here early? I knock on his door and walk inside after hearing a "come in"."Good Morning" I say, Harry looks up and smiles at me."Hello Marie" he says."Coffee." I say placing it on his desk."Thank you""You're here early today?" I ask."Just some important work that had to be done" he says and I simply nod.Over the past three months, Karter and I have gotten pretty close. I mean he's nice and polite and we get along perfectly."Marie, could you take a seat? I want to talk to you about something important" he says.I furrow my brows in confusion and

KarterAs I was heading out of my office, I saw Marie waiting for the elevator. I walked over and stood next to her."Hey" I smile.Marie turns her head to look at me and flashes me a smile, "Hi" she says.The elevator opens and the two of us walk inside."So do you have an plans this weekend?" I ask."Oh not really. Just going to spend time relaxing really" Marie smiles."So that means your free tomorrow?" I ask.Marie looks at me and raises an eyebrow, "Are you asking me out on a date?"I nervously chuckle, "Sort of"Marie furrows her brows at me, "Well it's Alex and Jennifer's wedding tomorrow. I had agreed to bring a plus one and I don't really have anyone in mind. Would you like to go? As friends of course. You know all the guys, it'll be fun." I say.Marie smiles at me, "I'd love to go""Well then I'll pick you up at 4 tomorrow?" I say as we step out of the elevator."Su

MarieTomorrow is Friday and I have a day off! Yay! Well technically the only reason Karter gave me a day off was because we have to work on Saturday. But only half day so I guess it does count right?I was binge watching tv shows on Netflix when my phone rang. It was 7:00 pm, who could it be? The caller ID was unknown. I wonder who is calling me.I press answer and speak, "Hello?""Is this Marie?" That voice seems awfully familiar."Liam?" I ask."The one and only!" He chuckles on the other end causing me

Marie"A daughter?" Nina asks with a shocked look present on her face."Yes. A daughter!" I say."What-how? I've done research on the guy and as far as I know he's still a bachelor with no children, legitimate or illegitimate.""I know. He never mentioned anything about a child. I was shocked too""How can you be so sure the little girl wasn't confusing Karter as someone else?""Nina, you should have seen her she's a female version of him. Literally. Same everything. And also at Alex and Jennifer's wedding

KarterAlmost immediately after snapping at Marie, I regretted it. But me being the dick I am, I didn't bother apologizing.The entire long car ride to the restaurant was silent. It was very obvious that Marie was mad at me, I don't blame her. It's just that I get very touchy when people ask me questions about my family life. She told me about her family and everything, why couldn't I have simply told her that I had a daughter? I didn't have to give her all the details just tell her about Millie.I'll be honest, I was going to tell her one day. I was, I really was and it sucks that she found out this way. I really should apologize to her.I

KarterI spent my entire weekend with Marie on my mind. I couldn't get her out of my mind. And the kiss-don't even get me started on that. I just want to see her. I don't even understand why I'm thinking about a girl so much. I never do this. What is happening to me?After my shower, I get dressed and head downstairs. I see Millie sitting there eating her cereal. I smile and walk to her, I place a kiss on her forehead and take a seat beside her.She looks at me and smiles, "Good Morning Daddy!""Morning Sweetheart" I smile.After breakfast, Millie and I head out to car wher
