Am I Really Alone?

chapter 7

Arielle's POV

Life has been great for me so far. I come from a rich family, but not to many people knew this in school. I believe they thought I was lower than them, but really I could have bought the whole school if I wanted to. That still probably wouldn't change how everyone felt about me. Its okay though, now I don't have to worry about them anymore. Hopefully.

I still can't help that I still hear their words repeatedly in my head and I constantly put myself down. Daniel tries to get me to open up about why I dislike myself so much, but I'm not quite ready yet. I know its bad to keep him in the dark, but I need time to work it out on my own first.

I know he cares because he shows it every chance he gets. Whether its with gifts or just a simple kiss or hug, I know he will be there for me through thick and thin.

So today I decided to surprise him at work, and take him out on his lunch break. I can't wait to see him.

I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to do my morning duties and get all dressed up for my man.

After my shower, I go to my closet to pick out my outfit.

I pick out a gray floral designed knee length dress with a gray blazer, and my gray suede 3 inch heels to match. I put my hair up in a neat bun and put on a light amount of lip gloss on for my make up.

I grab my purse, phone, and keys and head downstairs to see my mom cooking breakfast as usual.

"Good morning mom, how are you?"

"Good morning darling, I'm fine. Well aren't you happy this morning. Why are you so happy?"

She turns around to face me with an eyebrow raised.

"Why yes I am very happy, Excited even. I'm going to surprise Daniel at his job today."

I smile

"Mmm, okay. Have fun, but not too much fun."

"Mom!!"

She laughs.

I think she loves seeing me annoyed. Shouldn't I be the one annoying her?

"Girl, I'm only teasing. Be careful and have fun, now eat don't no man want a skinny woman. How you think I got'cha daddy."

She says shaking her hips.

I roll my eyes and smile. Smh

After I finish my breakfast, I leave to go see my baby.

When I make it to Accardo industries, I park and lock my car and walk inside.

When I walk in, I'm amazed at how big and spacious it is. This is a nice place.

I walk up to a smiling receptionist, and tell her why I'm here.

She kindly gives me directions to the elevator and what floor he is on.

I press the button for the top floor and wait for the doors to open up again.

The doors open up and I see another receptionist sitting at her desk painting her nails as if she has nothing to do.

"Excuse me."

I say politely.

"What do you want?"

She says looking me up and down with a disgusted look.

Alrighty then.

"I'm looking for Mr. Accardo's office."

She just glares at me.
