I read the text and 9am and sighed when I sat up in my bed, my hair slicked into a pony and may dark comforter creating a pool of fabric around my body, groan sing as I looked at the bright red digital clock to my left, I swung my legs to the edge of the bed and sat up, my Babi Jammie's were neon pink and my hair was a rats nest.

Padding toward the door, I walked to the other side of my flat, and opening the fridge I find the left over Ham and cheese samwhiches , humming my approval I pick out my white porcelain plate and plop the cold breaded wonders on a plate and sit at the island in the middle of the kitchen about to take a bit theirs a knock on the door
"It better be Jesus" I open the door and the man standing their is defiantly not jahova witness
"I'm sorry" then man blinks rapidly and I cock an eye brow "I must have the wrong address" he stuttered and I let him continue "do you know mis Taylor" I narrowed my eyes about to speak when he cut in front "she's a tad of an odd ball black dress, um. Red eyes?" He looked me up and down innocently taking in my pink pjs,messy hair and clear skin.
"That's me" his face turned beat red and her wringed his hand "why yes I'm josh glazier and I'm the new apartment keeper, I, um, have realized that you havnt payed the monthly due in-" he looked at his sheet "4 months" I chewed on the inside of my cheek "of coures I'll get it to you as soon as I can" and before he could protest" my door shut and the click of the lock echoed within the house

I should have played it off as the wrong apartment

******************************

She walk in with my heeled boots clicking along the paved road she wore a knee length coat like dress, her hair pin straight and her belove red contact glaring against the sunlight

She opened the door with deft hands as the bell jingled against the door. The large restaurant had an oaky homey feel with large seats and polished tables raven wasn't use to the setting

Walking in she waited for an employe spotted her, a tall male with bright ginger hair stepped forward "um, hello, um do you have a reservation" raven blinked her bloodily red eyes her extended eye lashes flattering against her skin "yes under...um" she snapped her fingers what was his name "oh jake maxfield" the boys eyes bulged and her scribbled something down, if the poor guy wasn't nervous he was now

"Why yes this way" the tall man lead her toward a booth, prying eyes and hushed whispers pierced her ears like canons

She saw jake In front of her and she slipped forward  skidding past the waiter and into her seat, jake looked up sighing "really" he sighed raven glared her prefect lay painted lips pressed together as jakes eyes darted forward she failed to notice

"If I am one to recall your the one who asked me to marry you" she snapped and he arched an eye brow "some ones a bit catty"

"And some ones a bit crabby"
The glares at each other before jake groaned "how am I going to up with you!"
Raven rolled her eyes
I don't know what he talking about I'm amazing

He pulled a wad of paper out of a brief case she had yet to seen and he laid then Infront of her "these are the terms and agreements to our marriage"

They seemed explanatory
But as she read them over they almost seemed insulting:
Keep up worthy social appeal.

Social appeal? Raven barely understood what that meant

She continued to skim through her reading till something coughs her eye

A devoice is to take place 18 months after the signing, at this time the Parton raven Taylor will accustom 3.3 million dollars including the current treatment for her mothers treatment in the next 18 months

Ravens eyes pop from her skull 3.3 million dollars, she could do so much, she could move out of that god forbidden apartment she called home and into a nice home for mum

But while she was jumping in joy a section of small print caught her eye and as she went to read it jake shifted in his seat

During the range of those 18 months raven Taylor is forbidden to engage in any sexual relation ships

Ravens blood red eye narrowed and her glanced up at him through dark eye lashes

"What is this" she spat not that she could stay out of a strangers bed for 18 months but that it never mentioned his name, she never did well for
I can you cant.

Jake folded his arms as she glared at him, challenging him

"The contract" he replied calmly
"No" she said rather harshly and she continued "this crap saying I have to stay faithful to you but you being as free as bird"

His eye brows furrowed "it doesn't matter what media thinks about what I do it's more of what you do that reflects my image"he stated firmly.

This man was unbelievable, and if he though she would settle he was wrong, "this whole book is written unfairly" she hissed and her ignored her until she said
"Fine what do you want me to do go all nun for 18 months" he sat straighter and straighten his tie, cleared his throat "if you need anything you come to me with your needs"

Bringing with him? He couldn't go an hour with out insulting her she didn't even want to live with him let alone share a bed, if pulling and 18 month burgeon then so be it.

She nearly clawed him if it wasn't for the big boobed blonde that slithered her way to there table, she wore a short black pencil skirts and a bright blue top the cut into her cleavage, she Flipped her hair over her shoulder and that's when raven caught sight of the woman's name tag near her right breast. Ahhh. Thought raven, she works here
But the name Gracie reminded her of someone

Freash men year
It clicked in the crow feathered females mind

High school wasn't a fun experience

Gracie leaned down next to jake giggling, "hiya," she chirped "what do you want" the way she said in suggested more then food jake was nodding ignoring her attempts, but raven just had to speak up when the bimbo spilled his water and his lap and then tried to wipe it up.

"Gracie!l raven shrill cry caught the womens attention, as horror and rage flashed by her eyes
"Raven?-"  raven laughed "yeah silly can't believe you didn't notice me"
Gracie scratched her platinum blonde locked "why are you here with him" she sneered and raven shrugged "I dunno- he's a friend" jake visibly flinched and Gracie pressed her lips together about to say something when raven beat her to it "now I know what your a bout to blurt out and before that remember what happened last time"
Gracie diverted her gaze
"That a good girl now get me a strawberry milk shake and him a chocolate- k? Now sho" she scurried any and glanced at her warily "what was that"
"Nothing" she sang folding her hands on the oak booth and she changed to topic "so I'll sign it" he smirked "in three days" his smirk dropped three days?"

He just wanted to get these 18 months over with dealing with a freak like her

"Why"
"Because a few days a freedom would be nice" she said wistfully and he frowned she made it sound like a trap to live with him

After a curt nod and a few seconds of silence he spoke a gain
"I don't like chocolate I like strawberry"
She smiled
"Good so when she spits in mine we can trade"
