(Athena's POV)

And I woke up.

I was sweating profusely.

This was the third time this week I had that nightmare. That explains why I couldn't move... coz I was in that freaking dream. I reached over my bed side table to see that it was about 3 am. Good, I had 5 more hours before I need to wake up. I close my eyes wishing for a dream less sleep.

Its 8:30 am now, I am up and bright. I had taken a shower changed into a pair of jeans and a cute pink T shirt. I pulled my jet-black hair into a ponytail. My eyes were black too. Oh, how I wished I had blue or green eyes that changed color when I look at the sun, just like in the books I read. Reality check I'm no heroine... No such luck, this is what I got and honestly, I have come to like it. I am making bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Later, I should go meet my best friend Betty at 10 am, who also happens to be my photographer. Oh no I'm not a model, I am a 23-year-old, Food Blogger, quite a famous one and my friend clicks the food that I eat – sometimes when it's on the plate, other times while it's in my mouth. Just Kidding!

Betty is getting married next month, so we are meeting at a local boutique to search a wedding dress for her. After nearly 3 hours of rummaging through the wedding dresses, she finally said yes to a A-Line style Wedding gown. We were informed that we will get her size only after next week and as the bridesmaid it is my duty to collect it then. Oh, I'm so happy for Betty, I'm not one to have many friends, but Betty has been with me through thick and thin and I really can't imagine a life without her. I only want the best for her. I had shopped for my bridesmaid dress online, it was peach colored, not very plain not very imposing.

Now I'm back home packing my bags for a weeklong trip with Betty. She said she wanted to go on a trip to some relaxing resort and didn't want a bachelorette party. So, we are going to the 'talk of the town' Cage group of resorts where Max, Betty's fiancé is working as one of the freelance consultant lawyers. It was a part of the Cage estates that was at the foot of a mountain and was supposed to be breathtakingly beautiful. So, I was more than eager!!

{Hey guys!! We are just warming up now, soon the story will be full of twists and cliffhangers... Hope you like it and stay tuned for the next chapter... Happy scrolling!}
