One thing I hate about mornings is waking up very early. Who agrees with me? But you really can't help it,  when you have plans, you've got to set the alarm. And that exactly is the only shit I hate. ALARMS

But I really can't complain because something deep inside me keeps pushing out the excitement I'm feeling. Today is the day we are going to Russia and don't get me wrong, the place is beautiful man but I'm kind of pissed off that I have to wake up at such an early morning. So gathering up all the courage, I stood up and pushed all the negative emotions aside and replaced them with positive vibes. That's the shit I will be needing. No one likes a moody person ehy?

I set the alarm like 3 hours before the time because I had to pack. Why the hell didn't she pack up last night? I'm lazy and was really tired last night. Just seeing the sight of my empty bed and the cool wind breezing past my window is very tempting. So I jumped and immediately fell asleep. Enough with the  blabbering or we won't get anything done.

I grabbed the purple suitcase I kept under my bed and placed it on the bed. Eww dusty. I patted the suitcase as dust started to enter through my nose. I sneezed loudly and cursed. Whatever. Grabbing a whole lot of clothes (sleeping, working, one dress and a whole lot of other shit), necessities and basically everything in my room. Just kidding. Let's just skip and move on.

I was rushing on doing everything when someone ringed and said that there is a car waiting. I'm presuming Damien ordered his men to come pick me up. I actually don't have the restriction in adressing him by his first name because I'll only use it mentally and not verbally. Rolling my eyes. I ran a brush, stroking my hair once hoping that it'll somewhat make it atleast far from a bird's nest. God I really should've packed last night. The consequences are alarming. I grabbed the suitcase and basically ran all the way down to the lobby.

"Hello Beth, can you take a hold of my key? I'll be gone for a week. Job matters." I'm pretty sure I looked like a truck had ran over my face due to excessive sweat that trickled. I had no time to cake my face even just a powder because I haven't got the time. So putting the self-consciousness aside. I smiled widely at her.

"No problem Ell, I'll miss you lots." I smiled at her thankfully and bid her my goodbyes. Rolling my suitcase against the marbled floor. A guy in a bodyguard suit greeted me. I greeted him with a smile as he smiled back.

"A very early good morning to you Miss Ariela, would you like it if I buy you some coffee? You look very tired." I was shocked to say the least that he was beinb very kind towards me, what if I was some mean bimbo? Would he treat me the same way?

"Good morning to you too, uhmm Gerald. Thank you for offering to buy me some caffeine but I'm fine." His name was neatly spelled out in his nametag that hang on his suit at his upper right chest as I read it inside my head.

"I know well enough that I probably looked like a stressed buffalo at the moment but you can't blame for waking up this damn early and especially if you're this excited in going to a foreign place."  Well not for my case since I really liked Russia in the first place. When I was in elementary, we used to share about which place we would like to travel and for some unknown reason, Russia was the place I've taken interest on.

"You're actually pretty Miss Ariela, simple and natural beauty is what you have. And please don't assume that I have like a crush on you since you look like you're ten years younger than me and besides, I already have a wife and I'm really sorry to burst your bubble of the hopes in getting a relationship with me---" I cut him off with my right hand held in front of his face and said.
