To Love Thy Enemy (An Arranged Marriage Series Book One)

Part Eighteen

Once we arrived home, I carried Ellie upstairs. She just cuddled into my arms and slept. I took off her shoes and tucked into bed. I wanted to do some research on places to get married and places for honeymoons so I could have places to discuss with her tomorrow.

*Next AM*

Ellie POV

I woke up in the same clothes I wore to dinner last night. I looked around and realized I was at home. I don’t even remember coming upstairs. I felt the bed beside me and realized Frankie was not there. On a hunt I went to find him. A few moments later, I found him asleep in the couch. I looked at the clock and saw it was 6:45 am. We had to leave for school in twenty minutes.

“Babe, it’s time to get up.”

Frankie didn’t stir that much so I decided to try another tactic. I carefully crawled on top of him and started leaving little kisses trailing to his lips. At that, he woke up and looked at me kind of strangely.

“What are you doing?”

“Waking you up.”

“Umm…okay. What time is it?”

“6:50,” I replied looking at the clock.

Frankie POV

I woke up to Ellie on top of me kissing me. I was surprised, confused, and also curious.

“What are you doing?”

“Waking you up.”

Why on earth would she be waking me up like that?

“Umm…okay. What time is it?”

“6:50,” she replied looking at the clock.

“Oh shit,” I said bolting up off the couch and running into Ellie’s forehead at the same time.

“Sorry babe,” I yelled running into the bedroom ahead of her. I grabbed some clothes and ran off to take a shower. I could not get how she woke me up out of my head. I got out of the shower, got dressed and went to sit in the living room, looking over the stuff I printed out last night.

Ellie POV

I rubbed my forehead and walked into the bedroom. I heard Frankie in the shower all ready. I grabbed some clothes and started to do my morning ritual. About ten minutes later, I heard Frankie yelling from the living room.

“Are you ready? We are going to be late.”

“Yeah, yeah I’m coming.”

We hurried down to the car and sped off towards the school. We had about five minutes before our first class started. I saw the gang heading our way but we really didn’t have time to stop and chat.

“Hey Torie, I will see you in class, I’m running late,” I yelled.

I could see her nodding her head. I ran to my locker and threw my stuff into it. I then booked it to my first class. Luckily, I made it in right before the teacher. The teacher of course started blabbing about something I wasn’t interested in so I decided to text Frankie, even though he was in my class.

How’s class going?

You should know. Oh I found sum wedding stuff that we need to look at

Oh do we have too? Jk What kind of stuff?

Oh sum beaches and honeymoon spots

Oh okay. I like the sound of a beach. Where did that come from?

I always thought it was cool and I remember you saying that was where you wanted to get married when we were younger.

Oh wow! I can’t believe you remembered that

*flashback*

Ellie and Frankie were about 5 and 6 years old when their mothers had brought them to the beach for a play day.

“You know what Frankie?”

“What Ellie?”

“This is a pretty place. I wanna get married here.”

“You know what Ellie?”

“What?”

“You’re a dork.”

*end flashback*

Yeah me either but I think it’s a good idea

I didn’t say it wasn’t. I will have to look at it at lunch

J See you soon love you

Love you too

Frankie POV

I couldn’t believe that Ellie and I were starting to plan our wedding. I really just couldn’t believe it. I just hope that nothing goes wrong…
