Allison's P.O.V:
Kendall dropped me off to a beautiful mansion. He said that he can't stay that long since Logan and him have to go golfing. I stand awkwardly in the front door while fidgeting my fingers. I look up at the double doors before pressing the little button. A loud sound rings my ears as a 30-ish woman in a maid uniform opens the double doors. I smile at her before entering. She bows at me before mumbling to follow her. I follow her as she leads me to a hallway before we enter the dining room. She bows at me again before leaving without any word.
I look back at the dining room to see my favorite cake… chocolate cake. I look around before dashing towards the table. I grab a fork and a knife as I cut the delicious cake in front of me. I take a seat at the golden chair before shoving the cake in my mouth. I moan and close my eyes in delight. This is the best cake ever! I take another slice and eat the heavenly pastry.
"Ehem." A rusty voice interrupts me on my cloud nine. I look at my left to see a 60-ish woman. She looks at me with a disapproving look –her hands on her hips and her left foot tapping the polish wooden floor-. I awkwardly smile at her –lips stretch wide showing all of my teeth- then I remember that I just ate a chocolate cake. I quickly close my mouth before running my tongue at my teeth licking them clean. She walks towards me and hands me a beige table napkin. I gladly take it before wiping my face and sure enough a big paste of chocolate ganache is on the napkin.
"Good Morning. I am Ms. Penelope." She says politely as she can. Her British accent stands out.
"Ms.?" I suddenly ask myself but I didn't know that it was loud enough for her to hear.
"Yes. I'm still a Miss. I was too busy to teach delinquent girls who don't have manners in them. Anyhow. For this week and further, I will be training you for the Grand Ball. Mr. Kendall Knight will be your escort we wi-"
"I have a question or probably questions." I say as I interrupt her. She nods and motions for me to continue. "What is a Grand Ball? Is it like Junior/Senior Promenade? Or like a Homecoming?" I ask.
"Grand Ball is like a Debutante Ball where in all young ladies and gentleman from the rich families are being gathered for presentation. It is to present the young ladies who are eligible to marry an eligible gentleman. Since you're married, this will serve as a presentation. Take note not all of the people here know that you are married to Mr. Kendall Knight." She says in pure British accent.
"When will this Grand Ball be?" I ask.
"New Year's Eve." She says.
"But I'll celebrate Christmas with my parents." I say.
"It's not for me to decide. Ask Mr. Knight, he's the one who organized this. I'm just here to teach you." She says.
"So…what am I going to do in this event?" I ask.
"Everything. Meaning, I'll teach you everything." She says.
"Come out Carson. I want to see." She demands. I look myself one last time at the mirror before opening the curtains.
"My name is not Carson. It's Allison." I say as I look at her. She rolls her eyes before sighing.
"Just what I thought. You have no sense in fashion. Purple doesn't match with Red. It's too hideous. It's a simple color combination yet you can't think of a proper way to match purple?!" she yells. I'm about to open my mouth to defend myself but she's too scary.
"Stand at the catwalk." She says. I follow her orders and I stand at the end of the catwalk. "Now walk." She demands.
"Excuse me?" I ask.
"Walk. Don't you know what walk is?" she says. I sigh before walking. "God! Don't you know what proper posture is! Didn't you learn that in high school? Don't slouch, keep your chin up, look everyone in the eye and never walk like there is something in between your thighs." She says. "Here put this on top of your head. Make you it won't fall when you walk." She says as she hands me a thick cook book. I put it on top of my head making sure it doesn't fall before I start walking. "Don't look up! You look like your being possessed. Keep your eyes straight." She says as I comply. Halfway through the catwalk, the book falls. "AGAIN! We won't stop until you reach the end of the catwalk without dropping the book." She says. I sigh. This is gonna be a long day.
Kendall's P.O.V:
I enter the mansion without taking a glance at the maid. I walk towards the hallway and sure enough I can hear Allie's whines and the clicking of the heels.
"I can't do this anymore! I'm tired!" Allie's voice says. I quickly burst into the room making the door slam into the wall and look around.
"Stop!" she begs.
I quickly ran towards the center hall and I see Allie on top of the small table with a book on top of her head and she's wearing a four inch heels. Her right leg was hitch upward making her balance herself with her left foot. Her tears are flowing on her face making it look like a waterfalls. Her gaze meets mine and she collapse making her fall hard in the floor. The book slams on her cheek and she cries out of pain.
"I can't do it!" she says as she cries her eyes out.
"You can't? How come Madeline can do it? How come Erika can do it? You're just lazy!" she says. Allie's about to respond when Ms. Penelope turns around completely ignoring the wailing girl on the floor. "Mr. Knight. How are you?" she asks.
"I'm fine." I smile gently at her. She can be mean sometimes but it's her nature. "You know Erika? As in Erika Brown?" I ask.
"Do you know her?" she asks me.
"Yeah. I know her." I say.
"More than know." Allie mumbles. Is she…jealous?
"I don't like that. You're married now Mr. Knight." She says.
'How's Allie doing?" I ask completely ignoring her last comment.
"Carson! Stand up!" she says as she shoots a look at Allison. Carson? "Put these on." She says as she shoves a shoe box on her chest. Allie opens it and she whines.
"No! The four inch pumps you made me wear is enough!" she says. I look at the box to see a six inch pumps.
Allison's P.O.V:
Now I wonder why Ms. Penelope never had a husband… she's too scary. Kendall and I are in the car now preparing to go home after the 12 hours of torture. When Kendall came into the mansion Ms. Penelope was kind enough to stop the lessons, I thought that it was done for the day but NO! She made me read the thick book that she had and it sure gave me a headache.
The drive back home is really quiet. Both Kendall and I are on the other end of the car making sure that there is big space between us. I happily look out the window enjoying the view where people rush to take a cab for them to go home.
"Are you okay?" Kendall's voice suddenly fills the car. I look at him and give him a sleepy smile.
"Hmm?" I ask. I then realize that he's right next to me. The distance between us is really thin and in just one move our face would be crash together. I look into his green eyes when a welcoming smell fills my nostrils. He has a new cologne…his cologne used to be strong…maybe too strong for my liking. But now, it's mild…almost making me hug him and sniff his clothes until the effect of the cologne is gone.
"I ask if you're fine?" he says. I didn't listen to him since I'm too busy watching his lips move as he talks. It makes me want to kiss him and feel those soft lips against mine. I look back into his face…his eyebrows are both raise as he gives me a gentle smile making my knees go weak. Did he act like he cared? I don't care… I don't have feelings for him. Maybe I'm just tired…really tired.
"I guess you're tired to answer me." He says as he laughs. His breath blows against my lips making them dry. His breath smells like mint which is a good thing or else I would have smack his mouth if it smells something different…like garlic.
"I'm fine. Just go back to your side of the car." I huskily say as I shove him lightly in the arms.
Kendall's P.O.V:
Allison moodily steps into the house. She looks at me…if looks can kill. She stomps her way through the bathroom. What the hell? What's up with her? Maybe she got mad at me for leaving her at the mansion. I wouldn't blame her; Ms. Penelope is a hard work.
I decide to follow her to the bathroom to ask what the problem is when something amusing happens.
"What are you doing?" I say. Allison's eyes opens widely as he looks at me. She looks at the bottle of cologne in her hands then back at me.
"N-No-Nothing." She says as she pulls the bottle away from her chest before putting the cap back on and putting it to the counter near the sink. She looks at me shyly. Well she didn't really look at me. She just turns around to face me but her gaze is on the floor. I can see her blush creeps on her cheeks. She's too cute.
"It's not nothing. It looks like you're about to spray my new cologne." I say as I smirk at her even though she can't see it. I like her discomfort; it makes her embarrass herself sometimes.
"Just ah…I uha... I kinda… I like it." She shutters as she looks at me with complete horror and discomfort in her eyes. She looks so fragile, so delicate. It makes me want to take care of her and make sure that she won't break. That's why I need her to stay away from James as much as possible.
I lean in as I brush my thumb to her pink cheek. I slowly caress her face as my gaze turns to her lips. It's slightly parted and I can smell her citrus breath. I slowly stop midway as I look up. Her eyes are close almost like waiting for me to kiss her. I don't like her remember? I didn't even like this whole marriage thing. We didn't like this. She didn't change her feeling about me right? We still hate each other? I still hate her?
I pull away before something happens. I grab my cologne before walking out.
"When you want my stuff. Ask next time." I say as I close he bathroom door.
"You need to rest Mr. Knight." One of my crew says as I pull my helmet off.
"I need to practice. I have a race to perfect and please stop calling me Mr. Knight. I'm not my father." I say as I give him my helmet.
"Oh and Mr. Diamond is here to see you." He says as he gives me a small smile before walking off.
"Sup Kendall." James says as he leans in one of the posts.
"What?" I ask as I sit on the cooler.
"How's Allie?" he asks as if nothing is happening. That brings me back to my senses as I stand up and march towards him bring his collar and round them on my fist.
"What did you do?" I ask as I see him smirk at me.
"You care about her." He says as he lets out a small laugh while shaking his head. "Did the deal won't be a deal anymore since you fall for her now? Dang it, I'm about to make a move on her." He says in a teasing tone.
I let go off him and he arrange his collar. "You know nothing about love James. All you knew is to screw girls then throw them into the trash." I say.
'Isn't that the exact thing you did to Jo?" he asks.
"I didn't do anything to hurt Jo. She's the one who hurt me. You knew that James. In fact you're the one who planned it and it still makes me sick every time I look at you." I say.
"Don't be like that cousin. It's not my fault that your dad doesn't approve Jo. Remember she made you choose. Her or your dad and you're so stupid to choose your dad and now you're mad since she clanged to me. It's not my fault it's yours." He says casually. "I know about love since your dad loves me as his own son. Unlike you, you're his own son yet he seems so distant to you. Well maybe he knew that you're still seeing your mom even though he forbidden you." He says. I punch him on the face.
"Don't hit me. Or else this is going to your school profile." He says. Yup, car racing is my other class. It may not be in school but someone is taking notes and giving it to the principal. Every move I make is being written down. I don't even know who the guy is but I must be aware.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"I'm your new classmate. I'll also be going to the Grand Ball." He says. "I'm joining your class. This is gonna be fun." He says.
"Fuck off." I hiss.
"No can do cousin." He says a he pats my shoulder. I coldly shove it and he chuckles. "See you at the Grand Ball. I'm sure Allie would be happy to see me than you." He says as he turns around then leaves.
I'm gonna destroy you James Diamond. I'm gonna make you go and rot to hell.
