Always forever

Chapter 1

Juliette's POV

I'm so ready to go home, I think to myself as I wipe the counter. This is my 3rd year as a chef and not gonna lie, I love my job but sometimes it gets so tiring that it makes me want to quit. After cleaning everything I go to the family to tell them goodbye.

"Thank you so much Juliette, the dinner is delicious." says Mrs. Anderson while eating her pasta alfredo.

"Of course, thank you for having me." I turn around and head for the door. As I put my shoes on and my coat I see a notification on my phone. It was the money that Mrs. Anderson transferred me. I smile to myself and say my last goodbyes. 

Outside is a good, chilly fall evening in New York and I called myself an Uber. After waiting for 10 minutes it arrived and after a short amount of time I was at my place. Seeing my apartment brought me such comfort because I knew that I will rest in a few minutes.

 My apartment was a small room with a bathroom and a small closet. I never wanted a large place because I never knew what I'd fill it with. It had a bed in the middle and a small desk near the window. There was a bass guitar standing on the other side of the bed. I learned the bass guitar to look hot and it became really fun. Sometimes my friends come over and I play it for them. On the left of them room sat a small couch where I usually spent time drinking wine and watching Netflix.

I sat on the couch and looked at the clock. It was 8:40pm which was too early to go to sleep. I beautiful idea came into my mind.

"Hey guys, I'm free right now so do y'all want to go out to a club?" I texted my friends, Avery and Parker.

"That seems fun, I'm down. What about you Avery?" asked Parker.

"I'm in. I'll take an Uber and pick up all of y'all." responds Avery.

"Alright, text us when you're here." I smiled at the thought of finally hanging out with my friends after not seeing them for the past two weeks. Work kept me really busy and I needed a brake.

When it was 8:50pm I started getting ready. I put on some eyeliner and covered some of my pimples with concealer. I decided on a natural makeup look. I put on a black dress that goes beautifully around my waist and shows a good amount of cleavage. My blond hair was laying on my shoulders and I had a gold necklace around my neck. For shoes I wore black heels that match me perfectly. 

Right after I was done getting ready my friends texted me. I got my black purse and quickly went down to meet my friends. They waited for me in an Uber and I got in.

"Hi girl, we haven't seen you in such a long time!" exclaimed Avery.

"You look so hot, you're definitely getting laid tonight." said Parker

"Oh stop it, besides I'm not looking for anything like that." That was halfway true. I didn't want to get laid but I did want a girlfriend. I've only had one relationship and it was with a girl back when I was 16. We met at a party and dated for 3 months. It was mostly for sex because both of us needed some relief. After some time I realized that I don't want this anymore and broke up with her.

"We're here" said the Uber driver. All of us got out and headed towards the club entrance. We showed the guard our ids and got inside. The music was so loud that your heart starts beating with the rhythm.

"Let's grab a drink" said Parker while heading toward the bar. I got a drink and took a sip. This was gonna be a fun night, I thought.

 I took another sip of the drink and went to the dance floor. The music took me over and I started dancing like I had never before. It was so much fun, so much that you want to stay in that moment forever.

A few people danced with me before I went to the bar to grab another drink.

A beautiful woman stood beside me. She had long, black hair that laid on her shoulders. She was dressed in a black suit that showed a lot of cleavage. She was perfect.

"Hello darling, my name is Alodie" she said.

"Oh hi, my name is Juliette." I stuttered. Why did I stutter?

"Would you like to dance with me, Juliette?" Alodie offered her hand for me and I took it. She guided me to the dance floor and placed her hands on my hips. I started swaying them to the rhythm and my hands got around her neck. Her eyes, they were so beautiful, a perfect shade of brown. I stared into them like I'd never see them again.

We danced more and then I started to feel tired.

"Sweetheart, you look tired. Do you have anyone to drop you off home?" asked Alodie.

"I'll call myself an Uber." I responded.

"Alright, here's my number, text me once you're home so I know that you're safe." She gave me her number and I put it in my phone.

"Thank you for the night, I'll text you when I get home."

"Alright, bye Juliette."

"Bye Alodie." I texted my friends that I'm going home and called myself an Uber.

I got home and immediately texted Alodie. She replied with a "That's good, I'm in that club every Tuesday and Thursday night so if you want to see me, just come there. goodnight sweetheart." My stomach flipped. Am I starting to fall in love? No, this can't be, she's just for one night. I promised myself that I won't fall in love that easily.

"Sounds good, goodnight Alodie." I replied to her.

A moment after a notification came to my phone. I opened it and saw that it a permanent job offer. I started to read through the details and everything was perfect for me. The job was a private chef to cook for a person everyday. It required to live in the house in order to cook every meal. I looked at the name of the person and my heart dropped. 

It was Alodie Dupont.
