                  LILLIAN GRACE

Last night was amazing as well as horrible and terrific. I drank so much because I thought I was falling for him. Because I think I am. We only know each other for weeks and we meet rarely. I don't know. What's wrong with me.

I'm in my bed, laying down, staring at ceiling. Should I marry him? He's my boyfriend now.

"Morning sunshine!" Mom came inside my room holding a my breakfast in a tray.

"Morning mommy. Oh shouldn't have brought it here. I was about to get up and come down." I said getting off my bed. She sat on my bed and kept the tray on the nightstand.

"Sweetie come here" she gestured sit on bed next to her. I did what she said.

"See sweetie I know you are too young to know about this but you are a teenager now. Falling in love is common in your days like this. And I want to tell you few things about it because I don't know if I'll be alive later so before it's too late, you should know about love"

"Mom please don't keep saying that. You won't go anywhere alright. I want you with me. Please don't say things like that. It hurts" i cried hugging her close to me. She maybe my stepmother, but I lover her like my birth mother.

"Oh honey don't make me cry now" she laughed.

"See baby. Everyone you know will love you. It's mutual. It can be anyone. Your father and i, we know eachother from primary. It's just we were not talking until Kate and John pushed us to talk to eachother. Your mother Clara was my bestfriend. She was just like you darling. She made a right choice marrying the love of her life. She loved him so much. Unfortunately she left us. She left Sam, she left you and me. I had to marry Sam because of you darling and now I know what a gentleman he is. Find a man who is like your father, who treat you like a queen not princess, who loves your presence, who believes in whatever you are, who cares for you and more than all of this is who loves you more than anything in this, you must be his world, his universe. If you find all this qualities in a man, what else go and have a life with him" she finished.

"Mom where do I find a man like you mentioned?" I asked looking at her.

"You don't need to find him sweetie. He'll come looking for you."

I remembered her words. 11 years ago, she was with me. Do I find all those qualities in him?. Uh let me just get of the bed.

I went to bathroom and did all my morning routine. I wore a red cardigan and jeans. While I was making my way out of room. My phone dinged. Oh it's Mr boyfriend.

Aiden- Paris is yours Sweetheart 💋.

Uh disgusting. Whatever I got what I need. That's it. So god I have to pack and i must leave tonight itself or else we'll be late. First i should tell them. I ran as quickly as I can to their rooms.

First i went to dad's room. To my luck he was there on his bed, looking at his laptop.

"DAD I GOT PARIS WEEK! I'M LEAVING NOW" with that i ran to Ella room without hearing his response.

I opened her room and she was reading a book. "ELLA I'M GOING TO PARIS!" again I left without hearing her response.

********

I was already to go to Paris. My designs are ready. My models are ready. I just need to win this. I love my  job so much. Uhh I'm waiting at the airport. Even though I'm rich, i prefer to wait in queue and proceed.

My assistant James is also coming with me. If you are asking about Jenson. God knows where he is. He's been gone for days now. I'm happy I'm going alone. As in not alone alone. But I feel free. Yeah my turn came and I showed her my boarding ticket and passport. She smiled and let me inside.
