My phone alarm went off and I quickly turned it off and looked back in the mirror.

I had been standing here for like two minutes now admiring my beauty- because that's what us baddies do.

* her outfit *



Okay but no let me go check on the girls.

I walked to their room and saw that they were still sleeping so I took this as my chance to find a outfit for them.

* their outfit *



Once I picked that out I walked fully out the room and walked downstairs.

Again guards nodded at me and let's just say I have to get used to it.

The plan for today was to tour Belgium but I feel exhausted off of it yesterday so I don't really know what to do.

When I got to the kitchen Lenard was there washing dishes.

" bonjour lenard " I said and he quickly turned around. ( hello )

" ah bonjour mademoiselle janessa, comment dors-tu " he said back and sat the plate down. ( ah hello miss janessa how do you sleep )

" bien et toi " I said sitting down. ( well and you )

" heureux de savoir Et j'ai aussi bien dormi, y a-t-il quelque chose de spécifique que vous voudriez pour le petit-déjeuner ? " he said and walked to the refrigerator. ( glad to know And I slept well as well, is there anything specific you would like for breakfast? )

" French toast will be fine " I said and he nodded.

Oh wait I forgot I was supposed to be apparently meeting someone.

" Janessa " I heard from behind me which made me quickly turn around and I saw it was Stephanie.

I looked her up and down and you can tell she's nervous- she has that thing where she moves her hands a lot.

" What's wrong? " I asked and she looked behind me for a quick second then back at me.

" regrèt mwen jis pa vle jennen tèt mwen " she said and i nodded. ( sorry i just don't want to embarrass myself )

" Lenard we'll be back " I said and got up and grabbed Stephanie's hand before dragging her away.

" I'm not going far so let's go here " I said once we got in front of the guest room and we walked in.

I stood by the door and she sat on the bed- i have a feeling what this conversation is going to be about.

" is there something you want me to explain? " I asked and she shrugged her shoulders.

" well what do you mean by you didn't want to embarrass yourself? " I asked after a few seconds and went and sat down beside her.

" I want you and not only as a friend " she said and i nodded.

" Will you go out- " she started.

" I'm sorry but unfortunately I can't do that " I said cutting her off and she was about to speak again until I did.

" I'm just kidding of course I will- took you long enough to ask me " I said laughing.

" yeah that's not funny " she said and I shrugged my shoulders.

" eh kinda was " I said and it went silent so I looked at her only to see her looking at me.

" people don't normally kiss before they go on dates but who cares " I said and kissed her to which she instantly kissed back.

< ANTHONY'S POV >

" Good morning Lenard, wasn't Janessa down here? " I asked as I got to the kitchen.

" yes she said she'd be back shortly- she was with her friend " he said and I heard footsteps coming up behind me.

" Morning brother from another mother " I heard diana say and she sat beside me.

" wait so if you're h- ohh! " I said cutting myself off.

Honestly all I can say is it's about time.

" you're weird but it's okay because I love it, what's on the menu chef? " she asked turning to Lenard.

" French toast with fruit " he said and she nodded.

" Where is Janessa and Stephanie? " she asked.

" they are having a discussion about their issues " i said and lenard handed me my usual black coffee.

" would you like any drink in specific? " lenard asked Diana.

" orange juice is fine " she said and lenard nodded before waking to the refrigerator.

My phone went off and I quickly pulled it out to see who it was.

Bethany: Can I come now?

Me: Give me five minutes

I sat my phone down and internally sighed.

I hope this goes well..

I'm quite nervous if I do say so myself and there may be some anger and tears which is understandable but we couldn't wait any longer.

This has been planned for a few years now and we're not going to let it fail."



I finally pulled away and we were both trying to catch our breath.

No seriously it turned into a make-out session and i wanted her more.

" your lips are red " she said and leaned it.

" well who's fault is that? " I asked also leaning in and I went to kiss her but she moved her head which made me kiss her cheek.

So then my mouth went down her jaw and to her neck and I started sucking on it.

She let out a small moan and i quickly stopped and moved away.

" If you do that we'll be here all day " I said and stood up.

" sorry you're right plus it's almost time for breakfast and to wake the girls " she said also standing up.

" i wouldn't mind having something else for breakfast " i said grabbing her waist and pulled her towards me.

" be serious " she said and I felt offended because what makes her think I'm not serious.

" I am being serious but you're right " I said and started walking to the door.

" oh and you better cover up all those hickies on your neck " I added and walked out the door.

I made my way back to the kitchen and saw Diana and Anthony there although they were both smiling at me.

" eww you two are creepy " I said and Diana hummed in response.

" what? " I asked looking at them both.

" your lips look bruised and Stephanie isn't with you like she's supposed to be " diana said in a teasing tone.

" I'm not hiding it " I said shrugging my shoulders.

" about damn time " Anthony said which made both of us look at him.

" what? i pay attention " he said and I shook my head.

" did you two do it? " diana asked.

" what- no! " I said and diana cheered aloud.

" haha you owe me $1,000 pay up " she said.

" you two betted? " I asked in disbelief.

" yeah like five minutes ago " Anthony said handing diana a small stack of money.

" I'm going to go get the girls up " I said and walked away.

" that's not fair! " I heard Anthony say and I scoffed.



I zipped my jacket up and although that didn't help I can just put my hood on and race to the room.

I need to change and calm my beating heart down.

She has me feeling all types of things and I love it.

She did scare me when she said no and apparently it was a joke but when I'm facing my nervousness and overthinking- i take things serious.

I could even feel goosebumps forming on me and I craved her touch again.

I put my hood on and left the room before quickly running to the stairs only to be stopped by diana.

" TURN AROUND! " she yelled and i internally screamed and bit my fist.

" Can't- I have to pee " I said and kept going.

" Are you sure about that? " she asked.

" Yes I'll be back! " I said and ran.

That was a close one..

When I got to my room I went straight to my closet and grabbed some un- you know what it's not anyones business.

Once I put that on since I was still sort of in pajamas I changed my clothes.

* her outfit *



It's giving right now and that's all that matters.

I did the other stuff when I woke up so i went back in the bedroom area and plopped on the bed.

My day is starting off well if you ask me. ________________________________ A/N:
