Ellen and Karen arrived at the house. " Well, this is where I stay, Ellen says. This is a beautiful house let's go in so I will see the inside, Karen asks. We have time for all that. Right now, we have to get ready. Karen nods. They head straight to Ellen's bedroom. " Cozy room, Karen compliments. Okay so we got two hours to get ready, and I have to text Blake that am at your house so he should come here instead ".
Okay, good idea. I will go and freshen up whiles you call him. Ellen goes
into the bathroom and went under the shower. She does her business and then came out. " Okay am done, Karen, you can go and freshen up now. They are new supplies in there so if you want anything else you can take it ".
After Karen went to the bathroom, Ellen hears her humming inside, and she giggles. She hears her cellphone ring. Ellen looks on the screen and sees her mother's name on the screen. She picks the call.
Hello, mom what's up? " Ellen are you home? Yes, why wouldn't I be? " I just called to check up on you and ask how your first day went ". It was okay, Everything was cool today and I have found a new best friend and she is the best. Her name is Karen. " That's great news darling, am happy you are settling well in school ". Yes I know right, Ellen says.
Oh, and another thing, am going on a date tonight with a guy. " What! you are going on a date on your first day in school with a boy you don't know anything about ".
No mom, I know a little about him, and Karen is also going with his friend so is like a double date. " Oh, darling I can't believe I won't be there to see you or dress you up ". That has been taken care of mom everything is under control.
" Okay listen Ellen, don't do anything irresponsible like drinking alcohol or having sex with him". I know you are Eighteen and you have the right but still d... Wooo, time out mom. No one is going to have sex. It's a decent party and there will be adults there.
" All right that's good but still look out for those horny boys, okay?
Okayyyyy mom, I hear you. No drinking of alcohol and no sex. " That's my girl, now when you are done dressing up, please take selfish and pics so that I will see how my beautiful girl looked ".
Okay mom am you're gonna make me late so goodbye. " Okay bye love, and say hi to your new friend for me ". Okay mom I said.
When Ellen is disconnecting the call, Karen came out of the bathroom.
" Great mom, she says. Yes, she's the best, Ellen responds. " I mean I practically heard all your conversation. Except for her part ". I chuckled. She started to pep talk me when she found out am going on a date. " No alcohol and sex dear, Karen jokes making Ellen laugh.
" Let's end playtime here. We got a date to catch". Karen says making a face putting a hand on her waist and tilting her head slightly up. Huh, what are you doing Karen? Are you trying to sound like a superhero?
"Did it work?"
No don't do that again it sounded awful. " Oh don't be silly, I sounded great ".
You know we could stand here all day and talk about your hero's awful actings or forget about going to the party course we have only an hour and a half a quarter minutes to get ready.
" Oh right let's begin with the makeup ". Arrhmm, I don't know much about makeup so I don't know how this is gonna work out for me, Ellen croons.
" Don't worry darling, course you got yourself a makeup genius ". Don't say that. " What? Karen asks. The word 'darling' because it makes you sound like my mother. Karen only laughs making Ellen pout at her.
" Help me do my makeup and get dressed first and I will take my time and do yours, Karen says. Okay, let's start. They did her makeup first then her dress. They were now deciding the type of shoe and purse Karen should wear. They finally choose a black sparkle purse and a red heel. You look really beautiful Karen. I mean wow, I always thought you are beautiful but tonight you are gorgeous.
Thank you, Karen blushes. " But now it's time to turn you into the diamond of the night. So sit, it's time for me to work my magic".
Ellen sits down and Karen applies a lot of makeup that Ellen didn't even know of. Karen, don't you think it's too much, Ellen asks.
" Shut up and just sit quietly. Do you want to ruin my hard work. You will be thanking me when am done". I
Ellen groaned in frustration.
She sits silently waiting for her to finish whatever she is doing. Ellen's eyes fell on the clock and she gasps. Karen, we will be late, we've already spent an hour and a half already we got only thirty minutes left. " Wait am almost done here. Karen says. She takes a minute and she finishes.
" Okay done ".
Give me a mirror to see how bad you've panted my fa a... . All Ellen's words got caught in her throat when she saw her face in the mirror. The girl she saw in the mirror wasn't her. It was a girl who looked like a goddess. She was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
" I know you are about to thank me but there's no need, I know how great I am, Karen jokes. Ellen smiled through teary eyes. " Don't you dare cry and ruin my makeup, Karen warns? I used all my creative and hard work to do this art so please don't let your tears fall ".
Ellen takes her hand, thank you so much. I didn't think I could look like this. " Shh, my makeup hasn't done anything but you. You are the face that brightens up my makeup. I have done makeup for many people but none has shined like you Ellen ".
" Okay let's get you in your dress, we've already wasted a lot of time, Karen says. Ellen takes out her dress and wore it. She was about to go into her wardrobe and look for a heel to wear but Karen stops her.
" You didn't think I would let you buy the dress without any shoes or purse, Karen smiles. I knew that if I told you, you wouldn't have allowed it so I secretly bought it along with our dress ".
Karen took out a bag and removed beautiful shoes and a purse. Ellen is blown away by how beautiful they were. It's really beautiful, it must cost a dime. " No it wasn't at all costly. Like I said the shop sells beautiful things but they are cheap ".
Thank you, Karen. I mean, we don't know each other that much and you're already done so much for me. " It's nothing, that's what friends are for. Now wear it and let me see how good it looks on you ". Ellen wears it.
Tell me how do I look? She asks. Karen took a second to respond. " You look perfect ". Ellen smiles, So do you. " Now let's wrap it up, the guys will be here soon ". Okay, I responded, Ellen responds.
They heard the doorbell ring when they were applying some perfumes. " Ellen, am going to meet them. Come down when you are ready but don't take too long please, Karen says. Oh, come on don't exaggerate, it's not like am not finished. Karen chuckled in response and left the room. Karen hears the door ring again and she hurried to the door. She opens it and gasps.

Karen gaps when he opened the door. She did not expect to confront Logan " Where is Elle he asked? Oh so he has nicknamed her, She thought. She will be down soon. She is just getting her purse." We are already two minutes late. Does she want to spend all night getting rea.... ". Logan is frozen in place whiles looking past her.Karen turns around and saw Ellen ascending the stairs in all her glory. Now I know why he is frozen in place, she thought." Cat's got someone's tongue. Blake whispered laughing.Shooting eye diggers at Blake, Logan's eyes returned to Ellen.************************************************************************Ellen packed her stuff in her purse. And left the room. Her eyes fell on Logan whiles descending the stairs. He was already staring at her so hard it made me her nervous. She walked to the door. Hi
Logan and Ellen made their way through the room with Ellen beside him. Ellen was very uncomfortable with the stares some men were giving her.They gaze at her with nothing but lust. Suddenly, She felt someone's hand surround engulfed hers.She looks up to see Logan looking at the men with fire. He was looking at them with dark green eyes. If looks could kill, they would have been six feet under by now.Ellen who didn't like what was happening decided to lose the atmosphere decided to start a conversation. By the way, you didn't tell me the reason for this event.Logan turned his attention to her responded with a growl. " The purpose of this event is a platform for my father to announce who the company will be handled by during his retirement ".Ellen could sense the anger in his voice but I didn't know why he was angry if he was the one going to inherit all the wealth.
The car ride was silent. The silence stretched as Ellen was very hurt and angry at how he shouted at her. Ellen didn't want to talk to him so she gazed out at the trees and houses that came in view. Suddenly, Ellen heard a sound on her phone. She looked at her phone and saw a message from Karen. Karen: Blake told me your guy is angry so you guys are going home. Ellen: Karen he's not my guy and yes he's angry because the company is being handed to his uncle. Karen: At least it's not permanent. We will be given it back when he turns twenty-one. Wait how did Karen know that. They didn't say anything about that at the party and I don't think they will leave such private information news. I need to ask her. Ellen: Karen how did you know that? Karen: Can't say it on the phone. I will tell you tomorrow at school. &nbs
Logan drove with many thoughts in his mind. He thought of what happened today at the party. How his anger got the better of me to a point he snapped at his angel. Logan can still remember the hurt on her face when he shouted at her. Even though tonight didn't go as planned it ended with him revealing how I felt to her. He smiled at the look of shock that appeared on her face when he confessed his feelings to her. She didn't take it well when he told her that he liked her so he wondered what she would do if he told her that he loves her. He didn't tell her that because he didn't want to run her off. He doesn't do love but Ellie has stolen his heart with just a look in his eyes. Logan laughed at the nickname he gave her. If anyone told him that he would love a girl this much, he would have laughed. He wants to take his time for her to fall for him bef
Ellen saw Karen inside when she entered the class. Karen smiled and waved slightly at her. Ellen went to sat besides her. " So what's up? Tell me what happened between you and Logan when he dropped you home last night ". Slow down Karen, Ellen whispered. I will tell you everything later. " No, I want to know right now, tell me Ellen please, Karen pleaded, I hope both of you didn't keep it cracking? She says surprising Ellen. Jesus Christ Karen. I haven't even relaxed and you are already attacking me with Logan. Wait what about you and Blake what did you guys do after we left. Sitting there silently, Karen blushed. " Umm, we we argh, kind of had a moment ". What do you mean a moment? Ellen inquired. " We kissed alright! Karen shouted. Keep your voice down do you want everybody to hear you? " No ", Karen whispered. " When the party was over, he dropped me home. I was abou
" Let me explain, Logan said. There's nothing to explain so can you let me go now, Ellen muttered trying to get out of his grip. " Stop! he hushed making Ellen stop struggling to look at him. Say what you want, Ellen says looking away. " Am sorry, Am sorry that I didn't push her off sooner. Ellen looked at him surprised. She didn't know if she should believe him or not. Do you think I care whether you are with her or not? You can do whatever you want with her cause I don't care! Ellen screamed at him. " You are lying, if you didn't care, you wouldn't have left when you saw her sitting on my thighs. You are very much affected and you know it. Logan says and pulled her close to him. He started to trail his mouth around her cheeks and neck making her whimper. " Tell me you don't feel me when am close to you? Tell me that when I touched you want me to stop? "
Listen closely Karen says. " My dad and Logan's dad are childhood best friends. And since they are best friends he used to come and visit us with his family which includes his wife and two children. Wait, interrupted. You mean to say Blake has another sibling. "Yes Ellen, and he's older than Blake. He's a boy? Ellen asked. "Yes silly, he's a male. Do you know Jason Woods?". Yes the famous lawyer, Ellen mutters. "That's Blake older brother". That Blake's brother? She nodded. Okay, but how do you know Logan, Ellen inquires. "Am getting to that part, be a patient girl. "So, Karen says with a sight. Blake's dad is the Executive assistant manager for knights corporation". So you mean to say that, Logan's dad and Blake's dad work together, Ellen asked. "Yes, Karen answered". I still don't get how Logan's dad knows your family,
Ellen woke up to the sound of her phone alarm. She got up yawning and stretching. She goes to the bathroom and does her business. She came out and dress in a long sleeve top with blue jeans and black shoes. Ellen pulls her hair into a ponytail and applied a little bit of makeup. Ellen goes downstairs to the kitchen and makes herself a fast cornflakes breakfast. She goes to the bedroom for her bag and leaves the house making sure the door was locked before she goes. Going, she turns to look at the door of my garage and sighs. I should start the driving lessons sooner or I will have to always call on a cab, She whispers to herself. Ellen walks to the road waiting for a car when she sees Logan's car coming towards her. The car stops in front of her with windows rolling down. "Do you need a ride, Logan asks Ellen with a grin on his f
