Marie
Tomorrow 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

MarieI wake a up with a strange pit in my stomach. Yesterday was weird, hell the entire weekend was weird. The kiss was mind blowing, I won't lie and I honestly thought Karter would pretend like it never happened and that thought made me kind of sad. But the fact he wanted to talk about it and us made me so nervous that I was hoping to ignore him forever.As discussed tonight Karter will be coming over to my place to discuss whether we're "compatible" or not. Couldn't have I liked a more normal guy who would just take me on a date? God forbid someone dare call this a date because Karter doesn't date and at this point he hasn't decided what he wants to happen between us. I'll be honest, I'm not much bothered or hurt by this. This is a very complicated situation. Not only is he my boss, he doesn't date or socialize with people beside his inner circle, he's a complicated-bipolar billionaire too and not to mention he has a 6 year old daughter and I know n

Karter"Seriously it's not funny!" Marie says.I laugh out loud once again, "It most certainly is Marie. Why would you even do that?""I was 5 okay?" She defends herself. I can just picture her scowling at me and hitting my arm so I shut up."That's not a well enough excuse!""Didn't you do stupid shit when you were 5?""No. I was a very well behaved sweetheart." A smirk appeared on my face."Well what happened to you now?" Marie asks.

MarieI quickly grab my cellphone and my car keys and head out the door. Today was a Saturday and I had lunch plans with Nina and Josh. They invited me to their place. I was already running late as I overslept but it's fine, she's my best friend she'll understand. I mean after all she knows me better then I know myself.After a few minutes my phone started ringing interrupting the song that was playing. I look at my car screen to see it was my mom calling. I press answer and speak, "Hey Mom""Hi sweetie. How are you?""I'm good mom. How are you and Brian and Grace?""They're all good. We all miss you"I smile, "I miss you guys too.""So, I had a long conversation with Nina the other day. You know catching up and all" My mom says.I furrow my brows in confusion, "That's nice""I don't want you to think of me as a nosey mother but I worry about you Marie and you don't tell me everything so I obviously went

KarterThe entire week I kept thinking about what Ellie and Liam had said to me. I want to make things right with Marie even if it means disobeying my own rule about not dating. I really don't want to hurt her, she doesn't deserve that.I was wide awake way before my alarm clock started buzzing but I decided to leave my comfortable bed once the alarm clock started buzzing. I got up and walked to the shower. I put on a nice grey and black suit today. I push my hair off my shoulders once and walk down the stairs.I saw Millie sitting on the table eating her breakfast. "Morning Sweetheart" I say kissing her on top of her head."Good Morning Daddy!" She smiles at me.I grab my cup of coffee and slowly started taking sips. Today, I don't feel hungry at all so I decide to skip breakfast entirely obviously minus coffee. That's an essential. I cannot survive without my morning coffee but then again I'm pretty sure 90% Americans can't eithe

MarieAfter two weeks of "causal meetings" as Karter calls it, Karter finally asked me out on a date. I didn't want it to be something really fancy so Karter invited me to have dinner with him and Millie. I was reluctant at first but later on I agreed.So right now I'm getting ready for my date. I put on a sky blue flowy dress that falls to my knees. I decide to wear white high heels as they would looks great with the contrast. Karter wanted me to come over by 7 and his house is almost 45 minutes away from mine so at 6:15 I head to my car.After a good 45-50 minutes, I reach Karter's mansion. I park my car close by and walk towards the house. The door was opened by a sweet old lady who told me she was Karter'
