EMMELINE CARROW

A hellish week had just passed, we had done some work at the shop to renovate some things and I was exhausted.

I had spent the week packing and putting things back. Cleaning floors that were dirty with paint, cleaning up the glass that was also dirty. I also had to supervise who was doing the work, and these were not finished before dinner.

I hadn't seen anyone for a week, even though I kept texting Mattheo, I didn't have time to see him.

Mattheo told me that Madison was asking about me and I didn't want to stand up to a little girl, but as soon as I got home and put myself on the bed, I fell asleep in record time.

Today was Sunday so I stayed in bed all morning, but when I heard the bell ring I got up and took a robe putting it on me.

I went to the door and opened it, only finding a bunch of orchids, my favorite flowers, I picked them up and came back home.

I saw that there was a little note attached to it, so I opened it and read it.

You're having lunch with me and Madison today, I won't take no for an answer. Get ready, goddess, text me when you're ready.
M.M.R.

I shook my head after reading that note. I looked at the flowers and put them in a vase with water.

I picked up the phone and texted a message to Mattheo.

Me: You don't like to ask things nicely, do you?

Theo: No, go get ready, goddess, I wasn't kidding.

Me: I think it's all too hasty.

Theo: Don't do it for me, do it for Madison.

I took a deep breath and looked the message.

Finally I went to get dressed and looked at myself in the mirror. I put my hands on my hips and thighs but shook my head.

I had stopped giving importance to what people around me thought. I had to like myself and I was learning to love myself, it was a slow process but I was succeeding.

I left the house and finally decided to walk to clear my head and after about ten minutes I arrived in front of Mattheo's house.

I rang the bell and the gate opened, I looked around and came to the front door which was opened by Mattheo.

He looked at me from head to toe.

«Fuck» I heard him mumbling.

«What?» I asked him.

«You have become even more beautiful, goddess» he told me opening the door to let me in.

I smiled a little, I wore a simple dress with flowers on it, I wanted to be comfortable, at the end we just had to eat.

«Where is Mads?» I asked him.

«In her room, she is getting dressed, come follow me» he said and went up the stairs.
