Letters to Marie

Chapter 15- Letter Twenty Six

It's the last chapter! Before you all start reading I was thinking that I will do a book of alternate endings with the other boys if you all would like, so let me know about that and get to reading!

"So my dear what is it you have in mind for your office, I obviously took the boring route but now it's your time to change anything before we go shopping for decorations!" Emily has me sat in front of a piece of grid paper with the office drawn out on it and I can draw in whatever I'd like. Which I just begin adding in shelves things that come from the wall with a push of a button and things I've always dreamed of.

"I've gone for a lot of technology and a bit of a beach theme!" I finally speak up as we're leaving the office to finally go shopping! 

"You know Marie I never understood how you got this far in your career after all you're only 19. How is it you did this?" I myself have found myself having a hard time explaining this to people. 

"My father had me enrolled at a college when I was 16 and I went from there and now I'm here." I begin to explain to her as we grab things after things to decorate with.

"Ever since the day you walked in my office for that job I admired you. Never showed you because you were my assistant but I wish I had. I know you will go far, just watching you shop for your office and designing it amazed me." Her complement really makes me see she's not at bad of a person like I thought she was and the rest of shopping was great, especially since I get the next three days off for them to remodel my office, get my new pay and get a lineup of assistance's for me to choose from in the next few days. 

The walk to Delaney's front door doesn't take me too long and soon I'm being invited inside. While Delaney goes to wake Rose from her nap I decide to text my letter writer as he asked.

To: Admirer

'I'm off work just getting Rose I should be home in about 15."

I click off the screen and Rose is clung to Delaney's shoulder with her eyes shut, she hands her over to me and I shake her gently to wake her and she slowly but surely peeled her eyes open and woke up fully. 

~~~~~

"Why don't you grab the letters Rose, I'll unlock the door." She reaches up on her toes and grabs the few letters that lay in the box and I open the door for us. The first letter I see is the last and letter Z. 

                   Dear Marie,

                              Zipper. The shirt you meet me in will most likely will or won’t have a zipper on it who knows. But looks like today's the day, well hopefully. Have you ever been to a beach here in Britain? Well check the back of this letter and wait for a text. I'll most likely be who you least expect. See you soon 

                                        Love,

                                              Well you'll know who I am very soon. xxxx

I quickly turn to the back of the letter where two plane tickets are taped but the arrival place is marked out all I can tell I I'm supposed to board the plane at 7pm at the Waterloo airport. My phone vibrates from inside my bag and I dig to the bottom to find it and read the first text he's sent me.

"I hope you've found you and Rose's tickets, you don't have to bring her but I thought just in case I'd give you one for her as well. Pack your bag and dress for warm weather along with your swim wear. The trips for 2 days not counting tonight I hope that's alright." My first thought is I can't take Rose, I don't even fully know this guy and I ring up Delaney and ask her something I never thought I would. To keep Rose for almost a full 3 days and the lovely person she is agreed once I explained why.
