Marie
I 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'

Marie"So really if I want to I always could move back home but I like it here. It's also really nice to be a somewhat foreigner plus the ladies love the British accent" Karter says smirking at me."I'm sure they do buddy." I say taking a bite of my sandwich.Karter opened his mouth to say something but my phone had started ringing. I picked it up to see Nina's caller ID. I answer immediately."Hello?" I ask."M! I haven't seen you in a week. Did you die or something?""Nope very much alive. I'm sorry, I've been busy.""Yeah with Karter for sure." I can tell she's smirking on the other side."Yeah yeah shut up.""The two of you have officially been going out now right? Since Saturday?""Yeah I guess. Nothing official yet though." I try not to take Karter's name as he's in the office with me."Well obviously he won't start calling you his girlfriend in a week. Baby steps M. Baby steps." Nina

Marie"It's just three weeks. You'll be back before you know it." I say."I know but I'll miss seeing you all the time." Karter whines.I smile, "Don't worry, time will pass super fast.""Well I sure hope so." Karter says."Listen they want us to turn off the phones till we don't take off. I'll talk to you later?""Yeah. Bye. Have a safe flight." I say."Thank you love. Take care." He says and hangs up.Karter is on his way to Spain right now.

MarieIt's been a week since Karter left for Spain. It feels so strange not to see him everyday. I'm pretty bored at work as well. As Karter isn't around I don't have much to do.Today is Friday and work was pretty boring. I had very little work to do, Karter actually told me to take the day off but I don't like to sit around and do nothing. Plus I don't want anyone to think that Karter's treating me differently because we're dating. At least not when it comes to work matters.I reach home at around 4 and immediately hop into the shower. The warm water running down my body soothes me and relaxes my muscles. God I really need a spa day with Nina. How long as it been?

KarterI just landed to New York. It's 27th July, meaning it's Marie's birthday. She doesn't know I'm in New York yet, she thinks my flight lands tomorrow so I'm surprising her. Marie also never told me when her birthday was, I had to ask Nina and thank god I did.I step out of the airport to see Richie waiting for me. He smiles at me and I smile, "Hello Sir. How was your trip?""It was great. Thank you. How are you doing Richie?" I ask as we walk to the car."I'm doing good Sir." He says."Where to Sir?" Richie asks once we're in the car."To Marie's house please." I say as Richie nods and starts the car.I reach her apartment and walk to her floor. Today is a Tuesday so Marie won't be home so I can easily sneak into her place.I call Nina who picks up after two rings, "Hello Karter." She says."Hey. I'm outside her apartment. Where did you keep the key?" I ask."Oh it's in the plan

Karter"I'm honestly fine. I don't want you to check up on me Karter." Marie says."Are you sure? Because no offence but you sound like shit." I joke.I can hear Marie chuckling, "Thanks. Don't worry about me. If I need anything I'll let you know but I don't want you to skip work just because of me.""Are you 100% sure?" I ask."Yes I am.""If you need anything. I'm here.""I know. It's okay if I take off? Do I need to hand in an applicat
