Hope

 " Miss I'm done " Emma said . I didn't reply though, I'm tired and nervous and I don't need her disturbing me .

 " Miss I said …" she said but was interrupted by my mother voice .

 " Emma leave us "my mother said , I wasn't scared of my but I want her to love me , although I don't admit it I still wish that she'd love me .

 " I know you probably understand what's going on, don't mess it up or you might actually die this time " she said , ending her statement with a cold chuckle. 

 Who says that to her child but my mother was heartless she wasn't scared of father , no she was just like that ,heartless. I remember when I was little she'd punish us for getting injured or for not topping our classes .

 " Of course mother " I replied not showing any emotion in my voice .

 " That's good , at least for you " she said and walked away . And for those who care I'm wearing a quite modest red gown , with black heels and a black purse , some accessories and leaving my hair down . Thank you Emma .

 I arrived at the venue an hour later , apparently Alexander was too busy to pick me up . So I went in and sat at a table resting till he came .

 " Miss Anderson " I hear someone call me from behind and turn around to see a handsome man, words were not enough to explain it . He had these grey eyes I never knew I liked . Has black hair , tall, the works .

 " Y.. yes , may I help you " I said stammering a little , damn . "

 I'm Alexander Ellis it's nice to meet you " he said in the most beautiful voi... wait did he say Alexander, wow

 " Nice to meet you Mr Alexander. " I said feeling a little flustered , internally at least . I stood up to shake his hand , when he took my hand and said " The pleasure is all mine . "

 "Let's go dance " he said as more of a command , I didn't mind though obeyed all my life . We went to the dance floor and danced to the slow music

 . " So Miss Anderson I do not like to beat around the bush, so I assume you already know about our arrangement " he said . His emotion was nothing to write home about .

 ". Yes a little bit , I replied " ok " he said , we stopped dancing when he said " let's go I'll drop you home " I wanted to say we just got here but mother's words rang in my ears so I kept quiet .

 We reached home , it was a silent ride I was leaving the car when I said " good night "I said .

 " Tell your father I agree , or do you have any complaints " came his somewhat cold reply

 " No , no complaints . I'll inform him , bye . I said He didn't reply and drove off .He might not know but something bloomed in my heart and no it's not love , it was something way better , hope . I had hope , a lot of it If only I knew …
