btw i imagine reeve as Grayson Dolan and Evelyn as Luca Whitaker but feel free to imagine them as you want.

Charlotte followed me around campus throughout the day. the headmaster allowed her to stay with me and go to each of my classes. six year olds will be interested in everything in sight. i only saw my mother when she dropped Charlotte of at my door in the morning. Reeve and father must have still been sleeping. we returned back to my dorm after the school days. i threw my bag and books onto the breakfast table, therefore Charlotte did the same except with her coloring books. she used those adult coloring books with pages covered in these exquisite drawings someone once did. so many lines, shapes, and spaces. Charlotte stares at me with her chocolate eyes. Charlotte was a mirror image of me. she had the same long blonde hair and brown eyes. a little more attitude added to her though. she crossed her arms and stomped her foot looking quite upset.

"what's wrong char?" i ask her.

"do my makeup for dinner." she says sternly.

"easy! i can do hair too." i smile at her and she scrunches up her nose and smiles real big.
"i love you!" she throws her arms around me and nearly suffocates me. i walk over to my vanity and have her sit down. i put light pink eyeshadow on her and a glittery wing. mascara is next, for i just applied a few swipes. i put some highlight on her cheek bones and the tip of her nose. Charlotte picked out a soft pink lipstick and put it on herself. i performed a water fall braid on her hair and curled the ends. Charlotte put on her white satin dress and pink sandals. now it was time for me to get ready. i performed my usual makeup and slipped into a flowing white sundress that stopped at the knees, and i stepped into a pair of brown wedges.

"ready to go?" i asked Charlotte. she stood up from the couch and nodded. i opened the door and we left my room. we are supposed to meet Houston downstairs at the front doors of the dorm hall, so we make our way down. as told, Houston is standing there with his two brothers.

"hey Houston." i lean forward and hug him. "hi care." Charlotte hides behind me immediately when she sees the two boys. i gently push her to my side when Houston crouches down to meet her.

"hi Charlotte. your sister has told me a lot about you." she looks up at him briefly before throwing her arms around him. Houston looks at me with so much love in his eyes. im shocked that she already likes him. Houston releases from their hug and stands back up. "Charlotte i would like you to meet my brothers, Caspian and Theo." the boys walk forward and stand close to their brother.

"hi Charlotte!" Caspian say. he holds up his hand for a high five and she accepts it.

"why do you guys look like each other?" she asks.

"we're twins. we have the same everything." Theo tells her.

"that's cool. i have a big brother and a little sister named Marla." she gives both of the boys hugs. i glance at Houston, for he is already looking at me. "ok is everyone ready to go?" Houston asks. the kids nod, therefore we walk out of the building and right down the street to the restaurant. i love how everything is so close by. we enter the restaurant and a waitress guides us to our table where the rest of the family is. i see reeve sitting at the table with Marla in his lap. he looks and stares at me confused, but then ecstatic.

"why so confused?" i laugh as i also wrap him into a hug.
"you look so different!" reeve says.
"it better be a good difference." i tell him.
"it's not." he looks at me with a straight face. my face drops and i roll my eyes.

"just kidding, you look beautiful." he says. i look back at reeve and give him one of Julia's classic looks. along with that i flash my middle finger, but then return to greeting everyone. i take Marla from Reeve's arms and hold her against my hip. "hi Marla." i smile at her. she put her tiny arms around my shoulders the best she can and squeaks out a few words, "care!" she says.

"has she been talking often lately?" i ask reeve.

"a ton. some words we understand and some only she does." he laughs. "how's it with dad?"

"ill be talking to either parent as little as possible. even if things are working well between Houston and I doesn't make it ok that they forced us into this marriage." reeve nods his head.
"im on your side one hundred percent." he gives me a fist bump then everyone sits down at the table. Houston sits beside me after finishing a conversation with his father. a waitress arrives at our table and takes orders for drinks. she returns and grants everyone their drink. my mothers stands up from her seat and taps her fork to the filled champagne glass in her hand. "i would like to propose a toast if i may receive your undivided attention." everyone lifts their head and focus on my mother , but i choose to keep my head low in order to prove im still upset at her.

"to begin, it is great to be reunited with my daughter and finally meet our new family. im very grateful for Houston and Caroline's future marriage because of all of the amazing out comes of it. this is to new beginnings!" most everyone claps. i bow my head down only to bang it on the table, and i don't mind only because of the current situation. beside me Houston nudges me with his elbow. "carolineeeee. you can't hide your face forever." he places his warm fingers under my chin and gently lifts my head up. i turn my head to face him. i examine his face, capturing every little magnificent detail. "god you're hot." i mutter. then i realize what i said and my eyes go wide. his lips grew to a large smirk. "as are you." my eyes widen further than before. Houston Sage thinks im hot? i take the compliment and raise my confidence. "why thank you Mr. Sage."

"my pleasure Ms. Future Sage." he turns his head in the other direction to tune into the conversation of the parents.

Mrs. Sage. Caroline Dahlila Sage. doesn't sound bad at all.
