A Girl Can Only Dream Ch 14: The taste of Dusk
The vineyard stretched out like a dream. The vines catching the dying sunlight, rows of grapes cradled in green leaves, and the faint sound of a string quartet playing somewhere near the wine station. The evening air was crisp, filled with the scent of earth and honeyed wine.I swirled the crimson drink in my glass and took a sip, savoring it's smooth richness on my tongue. Cole had surprised us again,. sweeping us off the yacht and straight into Veloria's rolling wine country.Ofcourse, not without drama.Before we'd left, Megan was screeching from the hallway in a satin halter dress."You said this was going to be a party. Cole!"He'd just grinned, completely unfazed. "It is a party.""Wine tasting with old men in suit, isn't a party!"He held a hand on his chest. "I need my favorite girls there. Besides, I'm Veloria's prince."Then, with a wink, "as I'm yours."Megan had groaned, muttering about throttling him later, but she still got in the car.Now, at the vineyard, Cole and Mega
A Girl Can Only Dream Ch 13: A Quiet kind of Heartbreak
I sat beside Megan and Cole at the long dinner table set on the main deck. Elegant lanterns floated above us, strung from mast to mast, casting warm pool of lights over the carefully plated dishes. The yacht had transformed once again.Across from me sat Victoria, composed, smug as ever in a sleek navy dress that clung to her like it had been stitched on her body. Next to her was, Cassian.He hadn't looked at me once.Not when I walked in, not when I sat down. His eyes had remained on Cole, the horizon and his plate. Anywhere but me.I sipped my wine in silence. I could still feel his mouth on me. I had sobbed myself to sleep after he left. Embarrassed of my choices and myself. When I woke Megan was fussing around me, brushing my hair and picking a dress for me."Victoria took a boat here," Megan had said, brushing highlighter on my cheeks. "Guess she couldn't bear his Lordship alone in a yacht with sexy American girls."Desperate much, indeed.Now victoria turned her head to me, a pr
A Girl Can Only Dream Ch 12: Kisses and Consequences
The morning sun shimmered across the water. The sea was calm, party long over. I had already freshened up, hair damp from the quick shower and my face scrubbed clean. But no amount of water could wash away the heat crawling up my neck.I remembered everything. The grapes. The teasing. The way Cassian laid beside me, stroking my hair and how close he'd been. How I'd fallen asleep to the rhythm of his voice.He was gone when I woke. No note, just a hollow space beside me.I stepped out onto the deck, the sunlight nearly blinding me after the dim corridor. The scent of the sea breeze and brewed coffee hit me first.Cole and Cassian, were seated at the outdoor table.Cole was in a loose t-shirt and shorts, sunglasses pushed into his air. Cassian sat beside him, dressed as impeccably as ever. Even in casual wear he looked composed and unreadable."Morning, moonshine," Cole greeted cheerfully lifting his cup.Cassian looked up his eyes, meeting mine. "Good morning, Miss Moon."His words wer
A Girl Can Only Dream Ch 11: The blanket and Stories
I wasn't sure how many glasses I'd had. Somewhere between Sarah's confession and the third song at the DJ booth, I'd stopped keeping track. Now the world tilted slightly with every step, the wind warm on my skin.I staggered over the dessert table and grabbed a plate clumsily. My eyes locked onto a cluster of grapes. I placed them on the plate, and then wandered looking for a place to seat.I found a bench tucked near the side rail, out of the way of the dance crowd. The sea stretched endlessly before me, moonlight rippling across the surface. I stared into it, the grapes forgotten.A moment later, Megan appeared wrapped in a large, puffy coat over her dress, cheeks flushed and eyes glassy with alcohol."Ooh,"Megan giggled, plucking a grape from my plate. "Thanks."I blinked slowly, still floating.She popped the grape to her mouth, then grinned. "I kissed Cole's uncle."The words hit me like a slap. A bitter cocktail of dissapointment and Jealousy flared in my chest before I could sh
A Girl Can Only Dream Ch 10: The old money privilege
The weekend arrived like a dream I had been waiting to wake up into. My first weekend in Veloria.Cole returned from the main palace, early in the morning, his eyes gleaming with mischief and excitement as he ushered us all into a sleek black SUV."Pack your swimsuits, darling," he'd said dramatically. "We're going to the Coast."An hour later, the wind was whipping through our hair as the coast came into view—white sand, turquoise waters, and the soft glow of a luxury yacht gleaming like a pearl on the horizon.The staff were already waiting at the dock, and champagne glasses were handed out before we even stepped onto the vessel."This is insane," Megan said spinning in her cover– up. "I love old money.""I am old money and taxes too," Cole joked, popping another bottle. "Tonight's party will be in the middle of the sea. No press, no scrutinization, no problems."Everyone cheered, but I felt a soft yawn escape my lips. I'd stayed up far too late the night before giggling over hot ch
A Girl Can Only Dream Ch 9: Fifth Wheel
The midday sun shimmered over the castle's private pool, casting ripples of light across the water. Megan lounged on a deck chair in her cherry–red swimsuit, sunglasses perched on her nose as she gestured animatedly with her drink."—and then cole almost knocked over the entire fruit stall trying to impress me. Like who needs to catch a falling mango midair? Honestly, I should've gotten it on camera."I sat cross–legged at the edge of the pool, trailing my fingers in the water, while Sarah dipped her feet beside me, more subdued."I wish I came," Sarah sighed. "But I felt so gross all morning, like I'd swallowed a cactus."Megan clicked her tongue sympathetically, but her gaze soon flicked the me. "Okay, but you— Miss Mysterious— how did you end up being chauffeured by Lord of brooding a.k.a Cole's uncle."I shrugged, keeping my face neutral. "I got lost in the crowd. Luckily, he recognized me from the garden party and offered me a ride back."My voice was even. But I hated lying, the
