TWENTY EIGHT. yes or no?

"Hey there." Eugenia greeted.

"Are we okay?" She asked abruptly.

Eugenia wasn't expecting to hear from her and was unsure of her own emotions. She tightened her grip on her phone, unsure of how to respond to the question.

"I didn't mean to bring up anyth-" She was interrupted.

"I understand. You're upset about what happened last night," She remarked.

"No! I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed that you said no," Eugenia clarified.

"I didn't want to disappoint you. I was caught off guard, that's all," She explained.

"I completely understand. I'm glad we talked about it," She expressed.

"Me too. Although, I never answered the question you asked," She admitted.

"Well, what do you say? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?" Eugenia asked.

"Let me think about it for a moment. Of course, I would be honored to be your wife," Selena replied.

A wide smile spread across her face, filled with happiness that they were now engaged. She smiled even bigger.

"I love you," She said.

"I love you too, fiancé," She responded before ending the call.

She smiled as she put her phone away. She headed back to her apartment to get some sleep.

-The next day-

Selena was with her best friend. She is preparing to visit her mom in a little while.

She entered the establishment and had a therapy session. Afterwards, she returned to her apartment and spent time with a friend.

While out for lunch, her mother unexpectedly showed up and they enjoyed themselves, even taking photos with fans. They eventually finished their meal and headed back to the apartment, where she smiled at her dog.

As they conversed, she glanced around the living room before retiring for the night. The next morning, she got up and headed to the gym before leaving the building.

She stepped into the car and placed her hands gently on her lap. Glancing out of the window, she admired the passing scenery.

A smile formed on her lips as thoughts of her fiancé filled her mind. Despite her hesitation about getting married again, she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.

Her attention shifted to her phone, excitement building as she anticipated the workout session with everyone else. As the car came to a stop, she stepped out onto the sidewalk and was escorted into the building by her bodyguard.

Placing her purse on the ground, she prepared herself for the intense and sometimes brutal workout regime. Confident in her abilities, she knew she could handle it, having experienced intense workouts in the past with familiar faces.

Observing others pushing themselves to go faster, she increased the speed of her punches on the punching bags in front of her. Taking a break to hydrate, she grabbed some water to replenish her energy.

Returning to the workout, Selena gave her best performance yet. As she started to pack up her belongings from the bench, she noticed the instructor approaching her.

"Good work today. You did an excellent job, Selena," He commended with a nod.

"Thank you," she replied softly.
