Elaine Scott is a 24 year old girl who loves her job. But when she is being forced to marry someone she doesn't want to, she ends up choosing some random guy to marry she lies about being engaged to. She doesn't think much about him, except for the...
I woke up today and I find no roses next to me. Finally! He has stopped sending me roses. But I have to spend the day with him thanks to Atlas. Some important business calls, my foot! I wonder what he does. Well whatever. I don't care. Right now I need to get ready and then go meet John. Tonight I also have to go to Atlas's house. I'd go to Claire's house after hanging around with John, where Atlas would pick me from. So I decided to dress up right now so that I won't have to get ready later on. I wasn't hungry so I didn't do breakfast. I just drank coffee because my day doesn't start without coffee!
After drinking coffee, I was going back to my room when I saw my father.
"Elaine. You didn't tell me. Is his family coming?" He asked
"Yes, Dad. His family will join us this Sunday for dinner." I said as I smiled and went back to my room
I took a bath. And now I was faced with the most important question in every girls life. A decision that every girl hates to make. I opened up my closet and looked at my clothes. I didn't know what to wear. I went with something simple. A white shirt and a jean along with shoes and a jacket. I did put on makeup as I thought that I'd have to go to meet Atlas's family.

I went out and took a taxi and went to the restaurant. I didn't have my phone with me as I will get it tomorrow. As soon as I reached the restaurant, I saw John standing there.
"Oh hi! I didn't think you'd actually come." He said as he looked happy and surprised
"Why?" I asked
"Because you said you didn't like me." He replied
"Don't misunderstand. I still don't like you in that way. This is just for old times sake." I replied
"Okay then let's go!" He said
"Where to?" I asked
"Just wait and see." He replied. I followed him and we went to the amusement park. We took a lot of rides! I didn't ride on the fast ones because they look dangerous. And then we even did shooting. It was just like how we used to hang out as friends. I was kind of having fun. I know I was being selfish, but if only he wasn't in love with me. If only that didn't happen, he'd still be my friend and I wouldn't have to lie to anyone. After we were done with all our rides, I bought french fries and started eating them while walking along him.
"Are you happy?" He suddenly asked
"Huh? Of course. It was fun today." I replied
"You know if you choose me you can have this much fun everyday." He said as we suddenly stopped walking. Why did we stop walking? What is this awkwardness? I really hate tension in the air. But what he said, made me feel bad for him. I felt pity for him. Which I'm pretty sure is the last thing that he needs me to feel for him.
