TEMPTATIONS

chapter 2

" Whose dress is that?" Asked Gevin eyeing the dress. " Mine, I'm wearing it for Bridget's wedding."

" Oh yes, you're the maid of honor."

" Guilty as charged."

" You don't sound too happy about it."

" I am, but I don't want to be part of it, I simply want to be the guest."

" She's your sister."

" That's why I agreed to do it, I'm not a hateful person."

" You are when you have to be."

" Well, maybe and she wants me to meet the best man who is the brother of Brian."

" Perhaps she could be setting you guys up."

" The brother is married and I don't even believe he is good looking."

" Have you seen how good looking Brian is?"

" Ok, yes, you have a good point, he is very good looking."

" He can be married, but that doesn't mean you can't be a little flirty."

" I don't desire to be a bitch Gevin, so I'm just going to be nice."

" Well, you must tell me how it goes."

" Will do babe," I said as we both stood up. He hugged me goodbye and while I went back to work.

I arrived home and went to the kitchen. I was feeling quite hungry, but I wasn't in the mood to cook, so I decided on warming up last night's dinner. I placed the food on my plate, placed it in the microwave, and keyed in the right number before leaving the kitchen and heading upstairs.

I stayed alone and I liked it, well I had come accustomed to it after Gevin left and stayed with his boyfriend. I sometimes wished I came home to someone or someone came home to me, but I didn't dwell on it much because it would distract me from the more realistic things like my job.

I walked into my bedroom and made my way to the closest to change into something comfortable. I decided on sweat pants and a simple black top, with a pair of slippers. I then tied my hair in a messy bun and left for the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen and made myself a cocktail to go with my food. I was having pasta, which in my case, went well with the cocktail. I took my food out of the microwave, took my cocktail, and walked to the living. I was in the mood to watch a good movie, a perfect combination with my food and drink.

I placed my food and drink on the coffee table, placed myself on the couch, and switched my tv on. I took my remote and started scrolling through, looking at what they had to offer. I came across the great Gatsby and immediately clicked on it. One of my favorite movies. I took my plate of pasta and dug in, while happily enjoying my movie.

I woke up and slipped out of bed so that I could go and freshen up before starting my morning. I walked into the bathroom and did my usual, which was brushing my teeth, washing my face, using the toilet and etc.

I walked into the kitchen and saw my nanny cleaning up in the kitchen. Bettina was more than a nanny, she was like a guardian that I would've preferred not doing the cleaning, but she always insisted. She was very close to my mom and me, I've always seen her as my other mom. "Good morning Battina, how are you?"

" Morning Emily, I'm okay and how are you?"

" I'm good. Bettina Gevin is coming for breakfast, so do you mind setting up and also preparing a very good breakfast, pretty please."
