687 Words
I just moved to the New York City, for me, what I thought, that this will be a fresh new start. To make new realtionships and to find the love of my life.. just kidding. Not ready for that yet. I moved in like 2 days ago, my mom lives in France, Paris. Even though she's not from there, her husband is. The person I'm supposed to call dad. Anyways, I decided that I wanted to live on my own.. I think I can handle that.
I was cleaning the boxes out of my room, until I saw a picture of me.. Evelyn Reedwood, with my.. boyfriend back then, Alex Williams. We just graduated and went out to celebrate the next night. I had a black short dress on with my hair is a messy bun, weird fit right. It was the best night in the worst night. He.. had dark brown hair and his eyes were green. I'll never forget those eyes, they're beautfiul. But it's time to throw that picture away, it's the past. What I remember about him was, that he was smart and patient. I think he got famous and he's a billionarie right now. Saw it on the news. Enough about my boyfriend.
I jump onto my bed and I feel that I'm tired, after celaning up today. Guess I can take a little nap. I woke up in the middle of the night, by my phone vibrating. I check my phone and It's my toxic ex-bestfriend who had been sleeping with my other ex before Alex. The f**k does she want. I couldn't even read the message. My eyes were blurry. Oh and she.. uhm she's kinda my new boss. I immediantly signed up for a assistent in an office, cause that's what I've been doing in my experience. And the company is her fathers. Well they hired me and I'm glad. Anyways, she asked me to meet her at the office. I'll try to sleep further now.. tommorow is another day.
Next morning
I woke up, got dressed in a black skirt and light link blouse with black heels. I dropped my hair over my shoulders. Ate my breakfast and got in my car. When I arrived at the location I saw Chelsea standing there with someone beside her, which I can’t see. I walked towards her. “Finally, you’re here.” “Yeah I am, whats wrong, why did you call me that late?” She looked over to the man standing next to her, so did I. I checked him out, he’s tall and has green eyes, and that sharp jawline. Damn, who’s he. He holds out his hand. “Hey, I’m Alex.” He said. I froze. Which Alex? I felt like he could read my mind. “Alex Williams.” I stared at him with no response, is that THE Alex? I did not know what to say. "Let's go inside and I'll explain." Chelsea and Alex walked towards the door. Alex turned around. "It's fate." Yeah ofcourse it is. We walked to a room, I guess it's a meeting room. I sat down next to Chelsea and Alex sat opposite of me. "I know you two have hystory, so I thought it would be good to call you." "I'm sorry but can you explain what's happening?" She put a few papers in front of me. Fake relationship contract. "What is that supposed to mean?" I look up to Chelsea. "You're going to marry me." I looked to Alex. "Like hell I am." He smirked. What's so funny, I don't get it. "Yeah, you need to marry him." "What? For what?" "To save my carreer." I laughed. "No, thank you." I stood up. "It lasts for one month, in that month, you have to make people believe that you're in a relationship." I can't believe it. Can't he call his hookups? I walked towards the door. Alex grabbed my wrist. "Please just think about it." I nodded and walked out of the room. I.. I'm shocked.
