Married to the Arrogant billonaire by Esther Benson (top 100 books of all time checklist txt) 📕

Tiana POV 

   "Lily get off my damn couch and get ready for work already you have been like this for a week now, Are you not afraid of getting fired" I yelled for the sixth time today attempting to drag her off the couch. She refused to 

  "I told you I was working from home, let me go T" she grumbled, pushing me off Argggg. Now I wish we were back to when boys are gross because I can't take this anymore. I have never seen her like this before.

         She has been driving me crazy since kelvin broke her heart, she arrived at my doorstep a week ago crying her eyes out, she explained everything that happened to me at that moment I felt like going back to the house with my tennis racket to her.   

        I tried everything I could to make her feel better, they all went down the drain, she refused to leave the house or receive any visitors, not even her husband, who has been at my doorstep almost every day. She just sits on my couch and watches sad shitty movies and cries all day. It's depressing to watch.    

        "Alright, fine you can continue sitting on the couch, but no more junk food for you " I grumble picking up all the junk food scattered through my living room. I have to think of something to make her leave the house. Been locked up in here is not helping. 

   "No don't put it away I need them " she whined trying to take them back from me, nope am not having that today, I need to think of something to cheer her up. 

"Nope you don't need them girl, what you need is a nice warm bath  you stink, and your breath smells like cheese " I mumbled using my hands to pin my nose. I cleaned up the room. Arranging things back in order, I can't help it. I am a neat freak, I can't stand anything being out of place.

"Hahahaha girl, very funny. I don't stink. I smile really nice if I can say so myself," she whined, sniffing herself giggling as she  munched on some  chips. Where the hell did she get that from, I am so worried about her state of health right now, She hasn't had any real food in a week now except pizza. 

Does that even count as food?

Of course it does. Pizza is life.

But too much of it can be bad for her health. I am so glad I hid all the wines. 

"Just go take a shower girl, we are going to my boutique, you better get yourself ready, stinky or not I will drag you to the boutique with me today if I have to" I warned as I made my way up the stairs. I Made sure to give her the don't mess with me look.

     I live in a two bedroom apartment on the richest side of town. This apartment was a birthday gift from my Dad. I lost my mom at a very young age, it was hard for me and my dad to cope with the lost, we were able to, it was just me and my dad against the world. 

            I haven't received any gifts from him lately since he married that bitch, Lucy!! She was my high school rival, miss queen bee biggest slut we all know she married my father because of his money except him. I refuse to call that bitch step mom, nasty, I can't even stomach it. 

     " Now where is that my cute jacket  I could swear I saw it a while ago " I whispered to myself, searching my closet, Argggg it's so hard to find anything, why do I have so much clothes anyway, i don't even remember buying this gown, but its cute, I will wear it for our anniversary dinner tomorrow,  its Franco and I six years anniversary. I can't wait for tomorrow. 

   I feel guilty for being happy when my friend is sad. I have to find a way to get Lilian to talk to kelvin, she really loves him but doesn't want to admit it. I know he loves her too, Our time at the hotel was enough proof. 

~~~~~~•••••••••••••••••√

  "Can you please Smile lily, you are driving  my customers with that frown " I muttered to her, she groaned, giving me the middle finger. 

"Now that's not a very nice young lady" I touted, she signed, giving  me a creepy smile that was way worse than the frown. 

"Geez girl, you can go back to frowning, now you look like my dead Nana, keep working on the smile I will be the right back girl" I said, going to attend to my high profile customer that just came in. 

         Business was really great, I had so many customers I am so exhausted. 

*Ring*Ring *  Where is that damn phone? I whispered to myself trying to find my phone. 

   " Hello!! " I said into the phone without  checking the caller. Glancing at Lily from afar she seems to be so deep in thoughts. 

" Hey baby girl " A muscular voice said on the line, I immediately knew the mysterious caller.  

"I thought I was told to never ever call me baby girl" I whispered in a threatening tone. 

"Relax don't go all mama bear on me". I could hear someone talking to him in the background.

"How did you get my number anyway, Tony? " I curiously asked. 

"It was not that hard, I can teach you over coffee, tomorrow by 12:00am " 

  "I can't tell you a thousand times already that I have a fiance, we are getting married, the date of our wedding is fixed, No I can't have coffee with you" I explained yet again, this guy is seriously annoying.

"Relax mama bear, we are only going to discuss how to get our friends together and have a conversation, I can't watch my friend like this much longer." He explained,  

   "Fine, just text me the restaurant address, I will meet you there" I gave in disconnecting the line, I can't bear to see her like this. Lily is not going to like it but am going to do it for her.

"Lily, can you please eat something, you didn't have anything all day"  I said to her as she was about to leave the table. 

"Am full, stop fussing about me, am not a kid anymore" she replied, walking out on me. I stare at my food no longer feeling hungry, I decided to retire to bed.

     I tried calling Franco for the fifth time tonight but he wasn't picking my calls and it keeps going to voicemail. I hope he is fine.
