How my life changed.... by Melissa (fantasy novels to read .txt) 📖

pull out a length of the paper as rough estimate of how much I will need to wrap the flowers. I lay the bouquet on the short edge of the wax paper. I roll the bouquet gently until I completely wrapped the wax paper around it, and then continue half way again. I tape the edge so it doesn’t unwrap. I scrunch the bottom of the wax paper around the stem and tape it securely. I tie a white ribbon to hide the tape. To decorate it more, I select a square of coloured tissue paper and lay it out flat. at that moment I grab the bouquet and lay it on the corner of the tissue paper. I hold the corner of the paper and smoothly roll the bouquet and paper towards the opposing corner to create a tissue paper cone to hold the flowers. I tape the edges. I then fold the bottom of the cone and tape it in place, and tie the whole bouquet with a red coloured ribbon.
“Done.” I hand it over to the blond lady.
“how much is that?”
“35 quid.” I speak.
She hands me the money and exits from the shop.

Second day in work was great, it was really busy, there was more than 10 customers in and out at the same time- first class.

On Wednesday, last day of work wasn’t so great as yesterday. As there was no customers after four, she let me out earlier. I usually finish at 5:30. I show up at the hotel plus pay the rest of the money I promised to pay.
“will you be at the party today?” Joshua asks in a kind way, sort of flirty.
“what party?” I raise both of my brown eyebrows-confused.
“we have parties for our customers every two days, on Wednesday and Sunday for them to have fun.”
“what time does it start?”
“it starts at 6:00 in the hall downstairs, you coming?”
“yep.” I put my thumbs up and sprint to my room. My hands shaking I unlock the front door and enter the room.
I run to the bathroom, have a quick hot shower using my favourite shampoo and then my conditioner to make my hair look sleek. I fully wash it not wanting a greasy hair later. As that I am a shaving girl I shave my legs and underarms. When I get out the shower, I use my exfoliant and loofah to ensure my skin is shining. I use a good smelling body exfoliator to really smell beautiful.
I cream my self every where, over arms, elbow and legs, and anywhere else other than my face. For my face cream I use a gentle face cream to moisturize , making the skin soft and radiant. I then blow dry my hair as my hair style with be loose curls which I will need my hair dried fully to be in it’s place.
I apply deodorant at this stage.
Make up time!
I put foundation on my forehead, cheeks, chin, using my foundation brush I bought week ago, I spread the foundation over my face giving it a nice, shiny look.
In a speed of light, I coat my long eyelashes with my thickening mascara which makes my eyelashes look even longer.
I spread my pink lipstick on my red full smooth lips. I apply a little pink blusher for my cheeks to stand out.
I gradually chose my white knee length dress that I wore once in a party.
I curl my hair bit by bit, then shake my head to give loose curls as I prefer and it looks much better on me
Before I get out, I spray a very little amount of my perfume and set my foot inside my white ballerina shoes. I look at my reflection in the mirror ‘I looking awesome’
When I end up in the hall, Joshua is waiting outside the double wooden door to welcome others.
He stares at me with his sky blue eyes which makes me feel very uncomfortable and he smiles.
“hey.” I wave kindly.
“hello.” his eyes glow.
We have some fun with Joshua, doesn’t matter what we do or what others say as long as we just have fun.
We get to know each other well, exchanging jokes and tales and chatters before we get things that matter. We dance and dance across the hall, every one lays their eyes on us.
“come with me.” he pulls me aside.
He asks me if I could be his girlfriend and I accept. Slowly, our lips press. It wasn’t a proper kiss. I felt my palms sweat and my face got hotter and hotter which I knew that I was blushing. Hate it when that happens especially next to boys.


Joshua is my boyfriend now, were going out for our FIRST DATE and im so excited and nervous. I get ready and go.
I am sitting at the table tapping my fingers anxiously, feeling excited yet apprehensive. The moderate sea breeze didn’t seem to calm em down one bit. As I sat gazing at the edge of the waters where the sky meets the sea, I felt a stir at the table. it was Joshua. My heart thumping so fast… my ears and cheeks are flushing red, I believe. He smiles at me and with the sweetest voice of the heaven said ‘hi’ I smile back. I am bunch of nerves at the time when he suggests flipping thought the menu. I agree readily, with relief. He were dressed casually, . He is wearing a white t-shirt with the word you are my angle in bold red. A matching jacket and baggy jeans. You have no idea how cute he looks.
My heart was leaping with joy when he said I looked smart with my shirt and sleeveless polo pull-over. He mentioned that he really likes the way my silky blond hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail with that simple black clip and he beamed with that lovely look on my face. I was certainly at the right place at the right time, with the right guy of my life. We ordered our food with the friendly waitress. The day seemed so perfect that I could feel my heart wanting to burst into a song as I slowly eased into comfort being with you. To be continued...
Upon finishing our meal, he suggested watching a movie.
He clanged onto my arm and gave me such a girlish smile that my heart melted. It could definitely be re-molded into the shape of a heart! The moonlit night sky made the ambience that we are assimilating into such a wonderful paradise. The sound of the lapping waves and his gentle whispers that were caressing my skin ever so gently, made me wonder how real this scenario was.


Joshua:

I grew courageous and turn her around, holding her by her waist. She is so close to me, I could smell your scent, so sweet. She rests her head on my chest and hugged me tight. I bit her on the neck gently, pulled her apart and pressed my lips against hers. It was such a magical moment. We began kissing and I felt her, the whole of her, so soft. her hands around my neck. I looked at her straight in the eye and said:" I love you Lora, never shall we part this lifetime." He takes me to his room which was downstairs near the hall.


Lora:

I am a bit hesitant to go in as I had never been alone with a man in a room before.
“what’s up?” he smiles.’ do you think im going to tear all our clothes off or something?’
‘no’ I say, plonking myself down on his bed. He sits besides me and starts to kiss me, I grew tense.
“what’s the matter?”
I shrug. ‘nothing’ I lie. I felt very nervous. Joshua pulled away from me. I felt bad and I wanted to tell him what was on my mind but the look on his face put me off.
After a moment he started talking.
“look, Lora, your not going to get pregnant by kissing. It’s early days yet, and we’re just getting to know each other in a new way.”
“yeah, your right.” I sign.
He goes to the shop to get couple of bottles of wine. He pours him self and me loads of wine in a large glass. He turns the stereo on.
“that is a big glass.” I say, sipping it.
“yeah, I thought it would save me pouring it too often.”
I put the glass down on the bedside, and say’ c’mon, let’s dance.’
We dance and dance. He refills the glass. I drink. Joshua drinks.
My head is lying comfortably on Joshua’s shoulder. Joshua responds by squeezing me tightly.
The room was quiet.
My mind was occupied with Joshua. We look deeply into each others eyes. Our lips joined and my body felt like it has been set on fire. He wraps his arms around me tightly. Joshua began to pant and moan breathlessly.
Things were moving fast. Before I knew it, my white top was off.


Lora:


I woke up finding myself wrapped in his arms. I sit up, thinking about what had happened between me and Joshua the night before. The scene is in my head, I cant get it out.
His arm is around my waist. Instantly, I sit up and nudge him to wake up.
‘Joshua, Joshua wake up.”
He just moans and tries to muzzle my neck. I give him a jab in the ribs.
“wake up.”
He turns to me, a big grin on his face.
“what’s the matter, babes?”
I remain silent.
“what’s the time?”
“late”
I jump out of bed pulling on my clothes.
Joshua gets out of bed.
“where are my shorts?” his words hit me very hard, we both look at each other and my heart sank. ‘oh, no, what have we done.’ I whisper.
“where are you going?” I ignore him and walk out of the room in silence. So many questions are twirling in my brain. what if I become pregnant? Bla bla bla….
I have a long, hot bath and straight get into bed.

I was in a deep sleep until I heard a soft knock on the door. I jump out of bed. ‘who could it be?’ I question myself. I think- obviously Joshua. Who else could it be?
I open the door, he steps into the room and stands in front of me.
A drop of tear rolls down my red cheek.
‘don’t cry’ he wipes my tear away.
‘ I trusted you. Why did you do it?”
‘ why did I do it?’ you wanted it as much as I did.’ he shouts back. He is right.
‘ look calm down Lora, it’s only happened once. It’s not as though you’ll get pregnant or anything?’
‘ but what if I do become p…..?’
I cut off. The ‘p’ word put me off.
There’s a long pause.

I get out and walk in the town as I need to think.
I don’t feel like looking at my body anymore.
I am so confused, frightened and upset.

I vomited about more than 7 times this week.
Im three days late for me ‘p’
What if im pregnant?
I drag myself out of bed and throw on my clothes. My mind was fixed on getting a pregnancy test kit. I finally reach the chemist. I buy it.
I pop in the
