Chapter One: New Beginnings

 

"We just moved into the new house Jacob bought for us and might I say that it’s amazing, and the inside is purple. To be exact, lavender purple walls. All around the house, the living room, the kitchen and upstairs. I’m having a hard time getting used being in a bigger space. But I love it and Jacob can’t wait to start over, a new future with him. I miss being within a close distnace to all of my friends in New York and my mom is still back in Mumbai. I hope that later on this year, my mom and dad will visit. Getting things in and out of the truck is so tiring, but like no other, me and Jacob work together and I think I can get used to having a bigger place to live, we finally have a neighborhood with neighbors that don't bother you. This area is quiet, and it's where me and Jacob will start our family. This is a perfect beginning for us. But, ayways, i've gotta go and see ya next time!"- @SummerElleW_86

 

 

 

"Hey, Jacob. Anything else U need to put in the house?"

 

He replies, after sticking his head out of the truck’s back opening.

 

"Nope all done, and you know what this means."

 

"We can finally start setting up things in the house." I say.

 

 

I jump excitedly.

 

He pauses, as his stomach growls.

 

"But first, I need to eat and take back the moving truck." he says.

 

I reply.

 

"Great, i’ll start going to the store and buy us something for the week."

 

 

We both kiss, before I hop in my new car that I bought before we moved.

 

 

I start up the car, as Jacob backed away from the sidewalk with the truck and drives off to return it.

 

I back out of the driveway, to roll down the street and make a left turn towards the nearby neighborhood stores.

 

I pass by the buildings.

 

 

I guess you could say, that living in the New York suburbs is better. Because it feels like home and it has that New York building view I love.

 

 

I stop by the nearest thrift store, it was big and small like an old urban store.

 

I walked inside, went up and down the aisle to find the products I needed that could last a week in our household.

 

 

When I paid for the groceries, I hopped back in my car and drove back home, to find Jacob had already set up our bed.

 

Except everything else in the house. I put the groceries in the fridge.

 

 

I ran upstairs to see our room, it was bigger than the others.

 

We had 4 rooms in the house, 3 upstairs and 1 downstairs.

 

 

I haven’t thought about how many kids I wanted, but it came to mind and i’ll think about it later.

 

Jacob comes down after a while, to find me making sandwiches. He takes and eats it. I eat mine and we set up things in the kitchen and living room.

 

 

By the end of the night, we already had the living room and kitchen set up nicely. The way I wanted it.

 

"Now for the bedroom," I mention

 

"Later." Jacob says coming over to me.

 

 

He had two sodas in his hand, and one waved a can to me.

 

We both open them and sit down on the new couch we bought weeks ago.

 

 

"You and me make a great team, don’t we Jacob?" I say.

 

"Yep, just like always." he replies.

 

 

That night, we fixed up a little more of our room.

 

Luckily, all was left was the tables, mirrors, the rest of the furniture and the bathroom.

 

 

I couldn't just sleep and know that there were a million things to do.

 

Trust me, i’ve been thinking about this moment since forever and it’s finally here.

 

Jacob could have strapped me down to the bed and I would still find a way out to clean or do something.

 

 

But I had to rest, tomorrow was work for half the day.

 

I still need to keep up my energy for when I come back home.

 

 

I close the lamp on the small table, close by our bed. And I drift off to sleep.

 

 

 

That next morning, I woke up extra early to make breakfast.

 

Toast, cereal and fruits in a cup.

 

It wasn't the best breakfast for a start, but i've made better.

 

 

I made coffee too, to freshen up the smell of the house.

 

 

Jacob suddenly woke up and I could here him coming down the stairs, as I warm up my toast.

 

 

"Mmmm…what's smells good. I can't believe  it."

 

"A decent breakfast. Sorry I can't whip out the pans a make a souffle." I say.

 

 

They're still in the garage.

 

 

He smiles, as I pass him his plate of toast and orange juice.

 

He sits down and eats as I turn on the small the tv in our kitchen.

 

 

Things were going great so far, until I remembered that i'd be late if I didn't go to work now. 

 

I hurried up to our room, and headed into the restroom.

 

And suddenly I remembered, I had set up my clothes for today.

 

Thank god.

 

I quickly brushed my teeth and put on my clothes, then took a quick look in the mirror.

 

I ran downstairs to pour my coffee into my accessible drink holder, and I kissed Jacob on the cheek before I left out the door.

 

 

"Okay, Jacob are you sure you're gonna be fine being home from work for 2 weeks. Cause I can stay today, if you want me too?" I asked.

 

 

He smiles and stops me before i'm on the lawn.

 

"It’s alright, i’ll be fine being home alone and plus i’ll get to fix up the house throughout the day."

 

"Save some for me, you know I wanna do it to." I remind him.

 

 

He kisses me on the head and looks at me.

 

"Now go, you're gonna be late for work if you don’t get there on time."

 

 

I run the door to my car.

 

Because of the change in distance, going to work, I have to get to work 20 minutes earlier than before.

 

 

And plus, taking the long ride to work gives me relief, instead of stress.

 

Now I have plenty time to stop at a open store to grab something to buy or eat on the way.

 

 

It’s one of the things I love about living here now.

 

 

I’m already in Manhattan, waiting for the red light to turn green. Only 2 minutes till work starts.

 

The light turns green and I turn left into the FARELLE parking lot.

 

 

I found a spot really quick.

 

I’ve been practicing with Rikki ever since I got my car to floor it from where I live to the parking lot in time.

 

And on the exact time, when i’ll arrive to FARELLE, Rikki will make sure i’m on time alongside her.

 

 

On the way, out of my car, I meet up with Rikki before I enter into the department.

 

We walk and talk as we went up the alley way towards FARELLE.

 

 

"So tell me Elle, how was your first night in the new house?"

 

"It was amazing and I have new plans on how I want to decorate the house and you're helping me when I come up with it." I reply.

 

  

We go into the elevator, as I search through my phone to find my story on the hottest fashion fails of september.

 

The elevator doors ding and the doors open.

 

I put my phone up and walk with Rikki to the hallway, leading to a few offices and people who worked minimum paid jobs here.

 

 

We walk past the front desk and offices and pushed on 2 glass doors, leading to the one place i've become accustomed to.

 

FARELLE,...the writers and design building.

 

 

I walk over the receptionist desk.

 

Unfortunately, the people who worked here last year have to keep their second jobs, and the includes me.

 

Until can get others to come in to take the position. Even though I still get to keep mine as a writer, which makes me happy no one can do a better receptionist job than me.

 

 

Lauren comes from the entrance to find me.

 

"Oh my god! Elle how are you this morning?!"

 

She yells and attempts to hug me and I let her.

 

 

She shares her adventures and about the trip she took back from Africa.

 

She claimed she needed to find her peace in her, so called 'soul'.

 

 

I bet she did because, she came back to FARELLE a new person.

 

 

She interrupts me before she leaves to her office.

 

"Elle, I want you to talk with Jeff about the photograph shots and then Marus and I will introduce you to a new special someone who will take up the internship on becoming the next writer of FARELLE magazine. And don’t worry, she won’t take your job, you already have it."

 

 

She left to her office in a cheery mood. She high-fived a couple people as she skipped.

 

The dreaed Marcus being here was no biggie, but a new intern stirred the crate.

 

 

I knew this new intern wouldn’t take my job, because it’s been mine since before I left back to Paris with Jacob.

 

 

I was an intern here at FARELLE, until I mastered the interview for a higer position. I got my shot with Marybella, who now works here.

 

I turned down Lauren's offer months before for a different job, so that I can get one that involved writing.

 

 

I remember the little memory we had together and that time she taught me how to ice skate, before Jacob came home for new year's. 

 

Marybella helped me through my rough times without him and I expected to see her here every single day.

 

 

Rikki headed to her office, a rather small office outside the glass doors. 

 

A little office and front desk outside of the writer's and design doors.

 

 

I walk over to where Jeff was working, on taking shots of our new Model, who recently came in a week ago.

 

I really like the new model, she has potential and character.

 

 

Lauren and Marcus walk towards me, ready to announce something to all of us. Lauren speaks first.

 

"The new intern for the writers and design department, at FARELLE is about to walk in through those doors in 3..2..1."

 

 

A few seconds go by and no one walked through the doors.

 

Then finally a girl, who was somewhat not short but tall enough for me to tower over, came in.

 

 

She seemed clumsy and didn’t know where to go.

 

I helped her bring a small box onto the receptionist desk as she entered.

 

 

"Hi, my name’s Elle, are you new here?"

 

 

She looked at me, like I was a prize or something and she didn’t talk for a second.

 

Lauren came up behind us, she greeted the young girl who was taking up the internship for the writers department this year.

 

 

Lauren talked up a storm with the new girl, she told her about the writers and design awards that we're having for the first time this year.

 

Lauren made eyes with a gestured to my presence.

 

 

"And here is your boss a.k.a mentor for your internship here, make yourself at home and explore New York while you have the chance." Lauren said.

 

She smiled eagerly at the girl, then Lauren had a call from her phone. "Excuse me I have to take this, see you later."

 

 

Lauren left to her office, while the girl stood a fair distance from me.

 

She walks up towards me.

 

"Hi, my name is Sara. Nice to meet you. I hope writing for FARELLE is an amazing job. Lauren told me you're the new writer and editor for FARELLE since last year right?"

 

 

I was nervous to say anything back, but I had to. Sara was the new intern and I had to suck it up and be a boss to her.

 

"Yes, I am the writer and editor of FARELLE magazine company, since last year. Now it’s official."

 

 

She smiled in return, I could tell she was as young.

 

As young as I was when I first came back to New York again.

 

 

I showed Sara around, like how Rikki and Marcus did when I first started here.

 

I could tell, either she was gonna be friends with Marcus or Jeff. Depending on how well she socialized with
