Amy was browsing through her social media page when her phone began to ring. Her face lit up when she saw the caller ID, but she immediately composed herself before answering the call. “I’m mad at you.” She hastily said, not giving the caller the chance to speak. “I waited for a goodnight call last night or even a simple text, but I got nothing.” “Forgive me, beautiful. I had a lot on my plate yesterday.” Bryan quickly apologized. “And a simple goodnight was too much to say?” “I wasn’t trying to justify myself, princess. I know I acted badly and I take full responsibility for my actions. Please forgive me.” Amy was biting her fingers while smiling to herself. He was really falling for her act. If only he knew she wasn’t at all upset, rather she was feeling giddy inside just from hearing his husky voice. “Why didn’t you call? I couldn’t sleep last night.” She said with a pout, trying to sound sad. “I had a couple of meetings to attend to and after that, I had to go over some con

Amy got into her room and immediately locked the door behind her. She hit her head against the door three times to express how angry she was at herself. She made a complete fool of herself back there and it was all thanks to her stupid hormones.When she heard Bryan’s voice, it was like everything inside her became cautious. She suddenly became aware of the fact that she hasn’t showered that morning and was just wearing her pajamas, not one of the best ones, if she might add. To top it all, she was stuffing herself with her breakfast.‘So embarrassing.’ She thought to herself, as she walked towards her bed. She slumped on her bed face flat and groaned into her pillow in frustration.How was she going to face Bryan tonight after such an awkward encounter this morning?Amy decided to distract her thoughts by giving her mom a call, as she hasn’t told her that she was coming over. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and dialled her mom’s number. After two rings, her mom answered t

“You look beautiful.” Paula said to her daughter with a proud smile, as they both stood in front of the mirror.“You think so, mom?” Amy nervously asked, checking herself properly in the mirror to see if she missed anything.“Look at me, sweetie.” Her mom held her in place.“He’s going to be at loss for words when he sees you… Whoever he is.”Amy laughed at her mom’s last statement, and it helped ease her nervousness a bit.“Thanks mom. I promise I’ll reveal his identity when I’m ready.”“I hope it won’t be when he breaks your heart.”“Mom!”“I was only joking.”Amy’s phone beeped, getting her attention.“I guess that’s prince charming.” Paula said with a knowing smile. Amy nodded in reply while opening his text.My chauffeur is almost there. I’m so sorry I couldn’t pick you up myself. I wish the circumstances were different. Can’t wait to see you. Amy wore a sad smile after reading the text, but it’s okay. She consented to this, knowing fully well the challenges and consequences tha

Bryan’s black Lamborghini was currently parked in front of Paula’s house. They were both inside the car. Neither of them wanted the date to come to an end, even though it was already past midnight. “I had a lovely time with you.” Amy said, smiling at their entwined fingers. “Me too. I hope we can do this again.” Bryan replied, kissing her knuckles. “Sure.” She smiled and they fell into a comfortable silence. “Do you have plans for tomorrow?” She then asked. “Missing me already?” He joked. “No silly! Just wanted to know what you’ll be doing.” “I thought you already know that.” “Bryan!” “I’m sorry, my love… Since it’s already past midnight, I’ll try to get some work done.” “Are you being serious?” Amy asked with a raised eyebrow. “Well, you wanted to know what I’ll be doing.” “Aren’t you gonna get some sleep?” “No. I have a lot to do.” “You always have a lot to do… Please, try to get some sleep. For me?” She pouted, batting her eyelashes at him. Bryan pretended like he was

Amy lay her little brother on the bed and tucked him in properly. After that, she went into her closet to get a pajamas to change into. She decided not to shower and just wipe off her makeup, go into the bathroom to brush her teeth and put on her pajamas. When she was done, she dropped her dress in the laundry basket and joined Carl on the bed.“Did you have a nightmare?” Amy asked her little brother while bringing him close to herself, so they would cuddle up together. Carl shook his head in reply, wrapping his small arms around his big sister.“Why were you scared, then?” She enquired.“You and mom were fighting.” He mumbled.Amy was taken aback by his reply. She didn’t know they were that loud.“What did you hear, baby?” She softly asked to know if he heard everything or most of the argument.“Not much. Just heard you two yelling at each other.”Amy breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he couldn’t make out anything. That is quite a relief because he was still too young to be expose
