October quickly ended and November came with cold weather and beautiful snow. Blaze and I, have been... how can I say this, normal? Within our patterns of normal, our last discussion in my office was... curious.

I was trying to understand his curiosity about my whereabouts, in his sudden seemly caring about me. While he was interested to know my acts of discomfort to his kindness ones as he proclaimed.

Moreover, it ended up pretty nicely, he didn't make any more fuss about it and simply gave in. He said to forget. How will I forget the only time Blaze Maxwell was nice to me without having anything in exchange? I was curious and determined to find out why he was being nice that day, I seriously was, but he was so stern and cold at the end of our discussion that I decided to forget it as he said.

I let myself forget about it, it has been two weeks and look at me... all forgetful. Let's just pass it over you know?

In general, it has been peaceful. We eat breakfast together and each one takes their ride to work, I get home, I have dinner and I go to sleep. I only seem him in the morning and sometimes in reunions at work. In these two weeks Blaze has managed to prioritize Bourbon wine marketing, so we are basically working as a team as much as we can. The product will launch soon thanks to Blaze efforts of prioritizing my ideas, everyone is working as a team and it's going pretty well, not to mention that Alfonso and Blanca love the idea and are thrilled for the launching of the new special edition of wine dedicated to their son.

In conclusion, it has been tough but pleasantly nice, since people are working together with the same eagerness and content about the new product... but good things end quickly don't they?

Turns out I have much more important things to worry about...why you ask? Well... because it's November and what does that mean?

Sarah and Damien are getting married ... that's right. I thought it was a simple rich wedding turns out it was much more complex than I was hoping for. These two had managed to make a two-day wedding kind of thing, ruining my whole weekend... Thanks for that by the way.

The plan is... Saturday will be the rehearsal dinner and church entry, I didn't know people still did that. How difficult can it be? You just have to walk into the church say 'yes I do' and leave, I know that because I eventually ended up doing so, and I was obligated so imagine them... they are marrying by free will, why the hell do they need rehearsals?

Honestly, at this point, I think they just like to spend money. Blaze said it was to show themselves to others, by that he means the rest of the family. this long-hour trip to their wedding location with Blaze has been more like a before-exam class. The Subject? All about the Keller's family tree and their rich habits. I am possibly taking a B+, I am feeling confident.

I understood that Blaze's family is sort of like a rich community of neighbors, that are desperately trying to be better than everyone. Instead of buying new furniture, they have sons with degrees to brag about, instead of block parties they have birthdays and weddings to suprass each other. It's all about who's best and who's the richest, the family tree is big, he has a lot of cousins and all of them are not fans of him, I guess it comes from his inheritance of the farm. They were more than happy when Blaze dissociated the surname Keller from his name and used Maxwell instead. Seems toxic to me. I guess they are not my kind of people.

"So is there anyone that likes you?" I asked curiously to Blaze while waiting to arrive at our destination. The rich wanted to marry in the snow, I don't know if that is some fetish or if it's romantic... or for historic reasons.

"Aunt Mary? Oh and great-aunt Grace" He answered while driving through the snowy mountains

"Who is that?" I questioned while looking at the files he handed me at the beginning of our trip. Do you think he wouldn't do more biography files? he did, more than one hundred of them, they weren't that elaborate just a quick description and photos of the people would certainly appear. I tried to look for Grace. The nice aunt.

"Grace Keller"

"Found it" I said looking at the photo of the old lady "What is it with you and old ladies?" I questioned smirking at myself while reading the few description of the lady

"She is my grandfather's sister, the only girl out of 4 siblings. She was friend of my grandmother, she was also the only one who didn't seem to be angry at me after the farm was inherited"

"How did that happened? didn't your grandmother died when you were young?"

"Yes... she wrote down a will, that my father tirelessly tried to change over the years before I had reached 18, he wasn't successful though"

"Imagine that" I commented sarcastically "So what about this lady... was she simply nice?"

"she seems to be the only to agree with my grandparents decision"

"That means she will like me..." I stated while tidying up the files

"We will see..." I raised an eyebrow at him

"What about Mary?"

"She is my mom sister. She is a very calm and nice woman... She took me in whenever I escaped my mom's"

I looked at him curious about his life yet I didn't want to intrude much more, I was happy to know he had at least someone

"You know when I agree to marry you I didn't thought that I would gain a list of arch nemesis..."

"I guess that's the trouble of marrying a man like me" he commented while parking the car near a big chalet hotel

"That wasn't on the terms and conditions though"

" I wasn't planning on seeing my family either, may I remind you that you were the cause of all this ?" He questioned unbuckling his car belt "because you fell into my mother honey trap"

"Ok I will admit you're right but think on the bright side. You'll see your family thanks to me."

"I don't know if that's something to to think on the bright sight or even to thank you about" he said while dressing in his winter coat

" How long has it been since you've seen them?" I asked curiously

"Years? 7 maybe? Last time I saw most of them was in court"

I smirked looking at him while he as dressed himself "let me guess, about the famous inheritance that everyone wanted?"

"How did you guess?" He joked

"Intuition " I said stepping out of the car with him

"Good evening Mr. Maxwell " The Valet greeted while Blaze gave him the car keys, I looked around and found two bellhops taking the bags out of the car trunk. When I realized Blaze was already by my side extending his hand to help me climb up the stairs to the entrance of the hotel.

I looked around taking in the beautiful sight. A luxury chalet hotel in the middle of the white snow, it was simply beautiful, with a breathtaking view. "Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell good evening!" A man said catching my attention.

Everywhere we go, people always end up by knowing Blaze... it's amazing

"Hello Herbert, how are you?" he questioned the smiley man. Looks like Blaze also knows every person.

"How do you know everyone?" I murmured making Herbert laugh

"Herbert worked in one of my hotels"

" And I was very well treated there may I add" The man smiled, his teeth showing " I am sorry for not appearing at the wedding by the way, we had a lot of work around here"

"It's okay. It was more of a business event than a real wedding" Blaze confessed

"I am right here" I advised a bit angry at his words, it was still a wedding... a forced one but it was a wedding. He better treat it like one.

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow while Herbert giggled "I see you got yourself one of a kind" the man said looking at me

"I guess you could say that" Blaze said, and from the corner of my eye I swear I could see a smirk planted on his lips making me give a slight frown. Herbert guided us to the lobby reception where we met a brunette woman, with a very bright red lipstick.

"Good evening!" She welcomed Blaze with a smile. I looked invisible, her eyes didn't leave his figure for a second.

"Good evening. I booked a suite for today and tomorrow under the name of - "

"Blaze Maxwell, yes it's here" She interrupted with doe eyes, I cringed at her tries for his attention but I was very invested where this was going.

"Here" he said handing her his card.

"Fifth floor, Room 546"

"Thank you" he said

"This room offers special free access to the spa, outside and inside pools, turkish baths, jacuzzis, restaurant and bar. Would you like to add any more benefits?" She asked with a small smile and flirty eyes making me roll mine.

"Which are?" he asked looking at her, her cheeks completely red

"Spa massages like Swedish, Hot stone, Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Shiatsu. Hammams, steam showers and sauna. You can also have service room, including all meals, lunch, dinner and breakfast and you can also buy everything from the frigobar now and the next drinks or snacks asked are free." She explained. Blaze was nodding his head but he didn't seemed very interested in all those 'paying bonuses'.

"Lovely options but none of those appeal me"

"We can also add a special night service, not every client get those, I will make sure that I am the one giving it to you" she whispered while biting her lip. I just hope that lipstick is strong enough for that bite otherwise she will have the that red lipstick on her teeth instead of her lips.

"Sounds promising but not very professional of you besides I am afraid I will have to refuse the offer, I intend to be occupied all night with my wife" He said making my eyes and hers widen in surprise.

She handed him his credit card alongside the key card for the room. Her head low I could see she was embarrassed, well she kinda asked for it.

We were about to leave and I simply couldn't go unnoticed "By the way" I said caughting her attention "you have something red on your teeth" I said pointing to my own mouth "maybe from all that biting" I smirked while she quickly tried to search for a napkin and cleaned her teeth.

I followed Blaze and we entered into the elevator. He clicked on the button and once the doors closed and we were alone in the elevator he took the chance to speak "Careful" he said with his hands on the pocket of his black long coat "Your jealousy is looking very realistic"

"Yeah, you wish." I responded "I'm just a very good actress plus she was kind of asking for it" I said while leaning back on the wall and crossing my arms

He gave a weak laugh and leaft the elevator once the doors opened. I frowned in frustration, was he not believing my words? What an ass. I rolled my eyes and followed him throw the hall "you know I am not jealous right?" I asked, very offended by his statement

"Hm hm" he hummed in response, not a very convincing humming, making me more frustrated. He was clearly doing it on purpose.

"I am not jealous!" I informed

"I got it" he said in his monotone voice, although I couldn't see his face since he was the one in front of me leading the way, I clearly knew that he said those words with that stern and emotionless face of his.

"I am not!" I shouted through the hallway a bit louder than I should "if I was that implied liking you which I clearly don't " I stated confidently watching him stop in front of a door

"Ok" he simply said

"On the contrary, I actually despise you" I said truthfully

"Wonderful" he said looking at me with a smile and opening the door of our room "My sentiments exactly" he entered leaving the door open for me.

Gosh, why does he have to be so intolerable? This could be so much easier if he was just... different.
