I woke up before Elijah and I quietly went downstairs. I saw a room full of paintings. My eyes lit up and I quickly went inside. There were some spectacular paintings. I grabbed one and saw the Hyperrealism effect in one.

"Wow," I said.

"Morning, love." I heard a British accent. I turned around and I saw him smiling.

"Good morning," I said politely.

"Is this yours?" I asked him.

"Yes. Do you paint?"

"Yes. It's my major. This Hyperrealism effect is spectacular. I always have problems drawing this kind of work."

"Thanks, love. Perhaps, I can teach you sometime." I smiled politely and went to the kitchen. I made two cups of tea and went into the room. Elijah was awake.

"Morning," I said.

"Good morning," He replied.

"Tea?" I offered him.

"Thanks."

We both sat on the balcony and sipped our morning tea.

"I have never had this kind of tea before but it is very soothing." He said.

"My mom was part Indian. She used to make this. It's Indian chai." I said. He nodded and sipped from it. 

"Thank you for not kissing me on our wedding day... Wow never thought I'd be saying this to anyone," I said. He smiled and looked down.

"Well, you didn't look comfortable with it. So, I'd be wrong to touch you without your consent." He said. "Why do you not like holding hands?" He asked.

"I like holding hands, I just hate the cold feeling when somebody leaves your hand," I said.

"You can always borrow my hand when that cold feeling is bothering you." He said which made me blush.

"Well, I gotta go to work. I have a city to run." He got up and dressed. I hear a knock on our door and I see Theo. I hug him so tight and he hugs me back. "I am so sorry. I screwed up." He whispered in my ear. "It wasn't your fault." He buried his head in my shoulder and sobbed a little. Elijah was standing in the other corner of the room just staring at us. He pulled back.

"I got you your stuff." He said while wiping tears off my cheek. He went and brought in four giant suitcases and a guitar.

"Thank you so much. It's the least I could do." He said. His gaze moved from me to Elijah. I turn around to introduce them.

"Theo, this is Elijah. Elijah, this is Theo." They both shook hands.

"I am going to work, honey." He said and quickly kissed my cheek and went off. That was bizarre. 'honey?' and what was up with the kiss. Theo and I got to talking and he helped me set up my things. He and I chatted for a while but then he left.

Maybe this marriage isn't so bad. He is cute, charming, and responsible. I showered but did not change my clothes. I got in the blanket with my fantasy storybook. I read that for a while but then I decided to get some work done. I grabbed my tablet and drew some designs for my clients. I ran an online website on which I design people's business logos and stuff. I also had an Instagram page on which I posted my artwork. In the afternoon, I ordered a pizza and met Freya. She was nice. I made one post and it was showing a good response. I recorded yesterday in my audio journal on my tab and then grabbed my book again. It was very smutty. I was giggling the whole time I read it. It was so naughty. I put the book away and then opened my laptop and saw The Amazing Spiderman 2  and was literally in tears. Elijah was back and he saw me crying while watching the movie.

"Are you okay? What happened?" He said with a worried tone. I looked up and wiped my tears real quick.

"Oh, it's just a movie. Don't worry." I said with a chuckle. He was relieved and rolled his eyes.

"So, how was your day?" I asked.

"Well, there was a problem about the land but I took care of it." He said and smiled. He removed his coat and started unbuttoning his shirt which made my eyes widen and I quickly look away. I covered my eyes. He smiled and smirked. "It's okay," He said which made me throw a pillow at him and he threw it back at me. 

"Had dinner?" He asked after changing his clothes.

"Yup," I said. "You?" 

"Pretty much." He said. My phone starts ringing and I pick up.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hi, is this the designing website?"

"Yes mam but please don't call me. It's mentioned at the website to 'text' me if you want to place an order." 

"Oh, I am sorry." She hung up the phone.

"You have a business online?" Elijah asked.

"Well, that's how I buy stuff, you know but don't tell Dad, " I said sarcastically.

"What do you sell?"

"Well, I make designs and logos for people's businesses, profiles, and channels," I explained.

"Interesting." He said. I turned off my laptop and he got into bed. I turned my head around and we both drifted to dreamland. The next day, he was awake before me, and I woke up to his voice calling me to have coffee. It was Sunday. So, everyone was home. I showered and He did too. We went downstairs and he introduced me to the rest of the family members. We sat down to breakfast. Hayley filled us up with Hope and stuff. I was quiet most of the time and after having breakfast, we returned to our room. I get a phone call and I pick it up.

"Happy Birthdayyyy!!" The voices of Theo and Eliana startled me.

"Oh god! Thank you, hehe." 

"Come let's party!" Theo said.

"Okay. I'll have to get ready."

"Ok." I hang up the phone. I heard a call from downstairs and I went.

"Jade! There's a parcel for you." Elijah called. I ran downstairs and opened the box. It had a cake which read, "Happy Birthday, little sister." My eyes lit up and my smile widened while seeing the cake. It was my favorite flavor which was oreo and she remembered.

"Today is your Birthday?" He asked and I nodded in response.

"Can I go out with my friends?" I asked.

"Sure." I gave him a peck on his cheek and ran upstairs.

"Ohh. Don't you dare touch my cake!" I yelled while going up.

The dress:

I was just leaving and Elijah saw me and he said, "You look beautiful." I replied with, " Well I was going for more of a sexy look but thank you." and I left.
