Alexander POV
             Eliza's alarm  goes off at 7:00 a.m. and she wakes me up. She showers and then I showers while she gets ready.
"I smell your perfume," I say.
"Thanks?" She asks with a confused voice.
"It smells good," I say.
"Thank you its my favorite perfume," she says taking the compliment
"Well then I'm sure you'll impress anybody who interviews you," I say.
"You too. I'm gonna go make eggs and sausage and the coffee you finish getting ready and we can go to our potential work areas," Eliza says while leaving the bathroom.
"Ok," I say.
She make the eggs and soon enough the whole apartment smells like eggs and sausage. That's what she thinks but to me I smell her coconut hair and her sweet perfume. When I come into the kitchen, I smile at her and kiss her while grabbing a mug for coffee. She is so sweet. How did I ever get so lucky. We head out the door hand in hand with a whole world of potential ahead. I went in my car while she gets in hers and we drive our separate ways. When I arrive at the office I go inside and I see some lawyers and their clients. This guy was passed out in because he found out the kids were not his. Then a divorced couple fighting about how unfair the custody is. Then I head into the interview room. We talk about my credentials and they say I'll get a call within the week. My next interview is 15 minutes away from there and it went well. They were very proud of my grades and my recommendations. When I got out of my interview I decided to text Eliza.

Soon to Be Hubby👨🏻‍⚖️✍🏻-How's the interviews? My first two went great!
Soon to Be Wifey👩🏻‍⚕️💍-They went great too! So glad yours are too!
Soon to Be Hubby👨🏻‍⚖️✍🏻-Awesome! Meeting Burr for lunch then I have three more interviews. The last one may run late because Laurens had an interview with them this morning and they were behind schedule.
Soon to Be Wifey👩🏻‍⚕️💍-Tell Burr I say hi, and ok just call me on your way home an we can figure out dinner. Gtg love you 😘💙
Soon to Be Hubby👨🏻‍⚖️✍🏻-Love you too😘💙

I text Burr to make sure we are still on. We are. We sit at our table in the steak house we are eating in.
"So how's the interviews?" He asks biting into his steak.
"Good so far so good," I say eating my masked potatoes.
"Don't get yourself thinking like that you you don't want to expect that call saying you got the job. News flash it ones the always end like that," he says
"Thanks but I can handle my confidence in my own way," I say.
"So you are engaged," he says.
"Yeah. I just want to marry her now," I say.
"At least you got someone to marry," he says.
"You will find someone," I say.
He smiles at me and we pay the check. When it was time for me to go to my next interview I shook his hand. I get in my car and get a call from Martha.
"Hey Martha," I say.
"Hey there groom to be," she says.
"What's up?" I ask her.
"Are you busy or can you talk?" She asks me.
"I am driving to my next interview so I can talk until I get there. Everything ok?" I ask her.
"Yes but I wanted to talk to you about the wedding. Who's planning it? Who's invited? When and where is it? Oh am I badgering sweetie?" She asks.
"Little bit, Martha, Eliza and I got engaged two days ago we have been busy. We will plan soon alright?" I tell her.
"Ok I sent some of the stuff in the mail. You know Eliza's moms neighbors sister is a wedding planner and she gave some, stuff to her. I assume you already have a planner. Wait let me guess you and Eliza are plan the wedding yourselves?" She asks.
"Yes we are most likely. Eliza will recruit help but it'll be a friend of hers," I say.
"Who?" She asks.
"Probably her gay best friend Titus," I say.
Titus and Eliza met when they were two. They were neighbors and he is her gay best friend. Like if you were to think of a gay best friend he's the definition.
"Ok," Martha says with proudness.
"Why are you so proud?" I ask.
"I have been guessing and I'm getting everything right," she says.
"No you have been talking to Eliza's mom while she talks to Eliza. Oh Martha I gotta go I'm at my next interview," I say.
"Good luck! Make me proud!" She says.
My next two interviews go really well as well and I'm supposed to hear by all the places I applied by next Friday. When Eliza's gets home she texted me and I told her that I was going into my last interview. It went great when I get in the car I call Eliza.
"Hey what's up?" I ask.
"Not much what's the plan for dinner?" She asks me.
"What do you want to do?" I ask her.
"I don't feel like cooking so maybe we could get takeout?" She suggests.
"Sure Chinese sounds good right now," I suggest.
"Oh yeah. I'll call and order our usual and you pick it up ok?" She says.
"Consider it done. Whatcha doing?" I ask her.
"Watching Dance Moms," she says
"I thought we were watching is season together," I say.
"It's a rerun don't worry. I'm gonna call the Chinese place so see you in like 30," she says.
"See ya. Love you," I say.
I respond with an I love you too. When he gets home we watch Dance Moms.
"So glad Melissa and Maddie left but I miss Kenzie," she says.
"Me too but oh my god! Chloe's back!" She continues.
We go to bed after two episodes of Greys Anatomy. I'm really happy right now, but I really hope I get one of the jobs. With the wedding coming up we need to the extra money and working with George work much longer because it's a temporary job that is easy. Thank god Eliza got a job working at a daycare. Now I get to be a lawyer and I'm really excited of myself. I know I want to do more than just write, I want to fight.
