"It has come to my notice that we've never done that before, so I'm really excited about the whole double date thing," Harper said as she applied another layer of mascara.

Officially, I had recovered from my bullet wounds and Jeffrey's hearing was in ten days. I knew that he wasn't going to receive a lifetime in prison, but I knew that he wouldn't get a year or two either.

Julian and Ansel decided to take Harper and me on a double date which was a first. We had never been on a double date before, so we were a bit confused, yet excited.

"Do I look good?" I had an olive green dress on with gold heels and a gold clutch. My hair was pulled away from my face in a half updo and it fell against my back. "You look absolutely gorgeous!" she gushed, making me smile.

"And you look dashing." She was on fire with her baby blue dress and silver heels. Ansel was so lucky to have someone as beautiful as her as his partner. Honestly, she was lucky too because Ansel was a great husband. He loved and supported her in a way many women "It's kind of weird that they said they would be waiting for us at the restaurant. Don't you think?" I wondered, adding some touchups to my lipstick.

"Yeah, like why didn't we go together?" she agreed with me. "Men are weird." She shrugged, making me chuckle.

"They probably say the same thing about us sometimes," I told her.

"One time Ansel couldn't understand why I was crying because the hot water wasn't working and I wanted to take a shower. He told me to just take a cold shower since it was Summer and I burst into tears." I could see myself in the same position. "He didn't understand that "I get it, but he probably won't," I said. Men couldn't really get everything about women and that was fine by me. The thing I loved about the man I

was in love with was how he would ask me 'What can I do to make you feel better?' whenever he felt lost. Usually, all I wanted was for him to hold me for a while.

"Are you done?" I wondered, looking at Harper.

"Yeah, let's go." The two of us headed towards my car and I drove off to the restaurant they told us about.

I spent around two weeks at home and Julian made it his number one mission to take care of me. I wasn't allowed to cook or do anything and only when the doctor said that I needed to start walking did he allow me to start

he was lucky that I loved him. I also didn't want to worry him at work since he had to get back to the office after two spending a week working from home, so I thought if I did what he wanted, he wouldn't be anxious while

relieved when the doctor cleared me and said that I could move freely. I also wanted Julian to get back to

out with bodyguards. Now, having bodyguards was a must. I could clearly see the car driving behind me. Those were the bodyguards Julian assigned for me. A few months ago, I would have hated the idea. But now, Harper and I arrived at the restaurant. After parking the car, the two of
