A few minutes later, Ryan was reading a book laying on the bed while i was at the desk checking some emails and see what's going on with the company in the city. Then suddenly, Brenda calls me on my cellphone. I picked up the phone and talked to her.

Jane (*answers the phone) : hello ?
Brenda : Jane. we have a problem with the Hamsons Project.
Jane (*asks as she is worried) : what's wrong ?

Ryan looks up from his book and looks at Jane worried for her too even though he doesn't know her.

Brenda : i delivered the Hamson’s Project earlier but they never received it.
Brenda : i didn't know what i did wrong.
Jane : it's not your fault so don't blame yourself.
Jane (*asks) : what about the deadline ?
Brenda : i had a talk with them and they want it by tonight in their email.
Jane : okay. I’ll send over the project from my computer directly to their email.
Jane : i just need you to send me their email.
Brenda (*sending the email on the computer & says) : i got it. I just sent it over to you.
Jane : alright. I'm going to the cafe since i dont have wifi here to send it over.
Brenda : okay.
Jane : We’ll keep in touch.

I hung up the phone, grabbed my laptop, and bag. I left the lake house driving into a little town hoping to find a cafe shop with wifi service. I arrived at the cafe shop and sat at one of the stools near the window. It took me about 15 minutes to send over the email directly to the company. Once the file was sent over, i was relieved and doubled checked to see if i sent it or not and i did. Everything was done and nothing to worry about. I drove back to the lake house and talked to Brenda on the phone.

Jane : Brenda.
Brenda : Jane.
Jane : i sent the file over to the company already. It's been completed.
Brenda : Oh that's a relief.
Jane : the company should get back with us by the time i get back next week.
Jane : i have to get back to the lake house now so we’ll talk again later.
Brenda : alright.
Jane : bye Brenda.
Brenda : bye Jane.

[6PM] I drove up to the driveway of the lake house and parked there. I took a few minutes sitting there taking a breather inside relieving everything was done and now I can relax. Then i saw Lila standing next to my car out of nowhere. I got scared for a moment and came outside to talk to her. She looked a bit angry by the expression on her face. I was ready for her to yell at me for going out.

Jane : Hey Lila.
Lila (*asks with an angry face) : where did you go ?
Jane : i went to a cafe shop in town to do some work for the company.
Lila : you clearly promised me a few weeks ago that you aren't going to do any work here.
Jane : i'm sorry Lila but something came up and i had to help out with it.
Lila (*asks) : is everything okay now ?
Jane : yeah, it is.
Lila : promise me again that you won't do anymore work this week and focus on the wedding.
Lila : you're going to help me with planning this wedding.
Jane : i promise Lil.
Lila : you have to keep your promise.
Jane : it's one thing i'm good at.
Lila : i'm going to send you the schedule of what we are going to do this week.
Lila : every day is a busy day, just remember that.
Lila : you have a lot to plan for my bachelorette party.
Jane : I got it covered Lila. don’t worry.
Lila : you better or else I'm going to be mad at you for the rest of my life.
Jane : I know.

The both of us went into the house. I went back to my room and took a shower. I got ready for dinner as I wore a loose navy t-shirt, blue skinny jeans, white tennis shoes, and my hair down straight.

I wanted to dress comfortably for dinner. Ryan was not found anywhere near me in the room so I'm assuming he's with the guys doing something. Oh wait, why do I care all of a sudden where he goes? I must be losing it. I remember the last time we talked, we ended up in an argument about sharing a room together.

When the time hits at [7PM], I walked downstairs into the kitchen area. I saw Julie, Lila and Scott’s mother, with Cecelia, Kai and Natalia Stepmother, cooking something in the kitchen. There were also the other bridesmaids (Alanis, Kim, and Natalia) there helping as well. Lila was in her room resting at this time. I sat on the stool in the kitchen counter to talk to them about the bachelorette party and get some ideas about it.

Jane : i kind of need your suggestions on the bachelorette party.
Jane (*asks) : what would you guys like to do ?
Julie : for my bachelorette party, we went to Vegas to party it up.
Cecelia : when i married Tom, i didn't actually have one.
Natalia : they really didn't.
Jane (*asks Cecelia) : why not ?
Cecelia : because i liked the idea of just getting married to someone i love.
Cecelia : i didn't need fancy parties or a celebration to know that i'm getting married.
Alanis : i think we should do things that Lila loves to do.
Kim (*says to Jane) : yeah Jane. you know her better than anyone here.
Kim (*asks) : so why don't we do that ?
Jane : Okay then. let me help with dinner.

I helped everyone with dinner. After a while later, everyone came back to whatever they were doing or going for dinner. We are together for the first time and gotten to know each other more. Once we had dinner together, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Ryan took a shower first while I waited for him. Then it was my turn to take a shower. It felt so refreshing and good to shower. Once I got out of the bathroom, I saw Ryan sitting on the bed reading a book by himself before going to bed. I walked out of the room to look for Lila. She was in the living room watching tv. I came up to her and asked her.

Jane : Lila.
Lila (*says as turning her head) : oh Jane.
Jane (*asks) : do you know where the extra blankets are?
Lila : yeah, I'll get them for you. Come with me.
Jane : okay.

Lila walked me to the storage unit where the extra things were. She got me the blanket and pillow. We talked as walking back to my room.

Lila (*asks) : are you sure you're okay with sharing a room with Ryan?
Jane (*slightly smiles & says) : of course i am.
Jane (*asks) : why ??
Lila : i'm just worried for you. You've been on your own for quite some time now.
Jane : thank you for your concern but i'll be okay. It's just for a week, it's not that bad.
Lila : you can always tell me if anything goes wrong between the two of you.
Lila : i'll talk some sense in Ryan for you if he gives you a hard time.
Jane (*smiles & says) : everything will be fine. Trust me.

We reached my room and Lila says..

Lila : i'm really sorry Jane for this mess. I wish i could fix it.
Jane : stop beating yourself up all the time.
Jane : it's going to be alright and we’ll definitely get through this week together.
Lila (*smiles & says) : alright. Get some sleep, tomorrow's a new day.
Jane : good night.
Lila : night.

Lila walked away while I opened the door to my room and went inside. Ryan had already fallen asleep on the bed. I walked to the floor next to the bed and laid the blankets down. I laid down and began to sleep but couldn't after a few minutes of tossing and turning. So i got up from the floor and walked over to my bag to get my sketch pad. Then i walked outside of the room downstairs. I knew that I couldn't fall asleep. I laid on the couch and started to sketch some designs out. After sketching a few things, I fell asleep there.

Ryan’s POV.
I wasn't fully asleep so i heard Jane got up from her spot where she was sleeping. I saw her walk away from the room and left. She grabbed a notebook that looked like something really important to her. Maybe it was something i had said earlier prior to our first meeting. I really didn't mean to say those things to her. She didn't understand me, probably. I guess she was upset in sharing a room with someone like me. I felt guilty the entire night and wanted to talk to her about it. So i waited for a few minutes and went downstairs to see if Jane was asleep yet. And she was, happily. I walked over to her and covered her with the blanket. Then i took her notebook and put it on the table. When i did, i saw her sketching a figure that looked like me. She made me wear clothes that looked like from the Cinderella era, like in the books. Jane was so talented in her work and i wanted to tell her that. Maybe i could, tomorrow.
