Aurora’s POV“Dad, why are you doing this to Timothy?” I asked dad while looking at Timothy who was busy making a pot out of a clay. That has been my dad’s business ever since. I already told him to stop making pots and just enjoy his life since I can just give him some money, but he always refuse.“That’s his punishment for making you cry last night. Also, if he wants me to trust him, then he must show me that he could protect you when I am not around.”“But he’s not used to making pots. He is a CEO of a huge company.”Dad frowned. “Come on. He can do it if he has patience. Who cares if he’s a CEO? By the way, you still have to go to work, right? Go now.”“Dad, don’t make him work too much.”“Fine, fine. Go on now.”Before leaving, I walked over to Timothy who was busy molding a pot that kept on getting ruined.“Timothy, aren’t you going to work already?” I asked him.He looked at me. “It’s alright. Are you going to work now?”“Yes.”“Goodbye and take care.”“Thanks.”***“You mean,
Aurora’s POV“I can’t believe you really agreed to stay at our house. Were you even able to sleep properly last night? We only have one bed since dad usually wants to sleep on the floor with a futon.” I said as Timothy and I were heading to the market to buy some ingredients for our lunch. He really took off a vacation just so he could continue molding a pot.Timothy just shrugged. “Well, I wasn’t able to sleep immediately, but I find it more peaceful here to be honest.It’s like a small city far from the noisy streets of New York.”“You’re right. That is also one of the reasons why I always spend my days at my dad’s home whenever I can.”“You and your dad surely get along well, don’t you?”I nodded as I smiled. “”Yup. Ever since I was a kid, dad was the one who takes care of me. He’s the one who attends errands at school and prepares breakfast for me. He is the best dad a daughter could ever ask for.”“I can see that. I can see that your father is a good man.”“He is.”As soon as we a
Aurora's POVBoth of us looked away when Timothy moved away from the kiss. "I-I'm sorry. I-I'm just a bit tipsy. I didn't meant to--"It's alright. I guess we have to go to bed now." I said as I stood up. Timothy stood up too and started cleaning up. "Go ahead. I'll take care of this.""O-Okay..."As soon as I stepped inside my room, I leaned against the door and covered my face with my palm. I could feel my cheeks getting hot while remembering what just happened. "You're already drunk, Aurora. You should go to sleep now." I mumbled to myself. I lay down on my bed and tried to sleep, but I can't. My body feels so hot and I can't help thinking about Timothy and the taste of his lips. Wait, what am I saying?I shouldn't have gotten drunk with him! In the end, I just decided to go out and get some water from the fridge. Or maybe it's just an excuse to check if Timothy is already asleep or not. I felt a bit disappointed when I didn't see him. I poured some water in my glass and dra
Aurora's POVI woke up hearing my dad's voice from outside our house. "Here, just put that here, Timothy!" he said.I squinted at my clock and realized it was already eight in the morning. I was about to stand up when I suddenly saw my reflection on the mirror just across from my bed. My eyes widened when I realized I was actually naked. Right. I didn't even notice Timothy leave my room because I already fell asleep after we did it. Something happened again between us. I shouldn't have let myself be drunk again. After taking a shower and making my bed, I already decided to go out. "Dad, you're already here." I said as I went outside the house, seeing dad and Timothy carrying boxes of new tools used for pot molding. "Yeah. I arrived here early in the morning. I saw Timothy already inside the pottery."I then shifted my gaze to Timothy, but then looked away when he looked back at me. I can't look at him after what happened last night. "I-I just wanted to practice, that's why."
Aurora’s POV“I heard you are already married. How come you didn’t tell me?”mom asked.It was break time, so I just decided to go to where she asked me to go since she will surely make a scene if I don’t show up.“Mom,he’s--“Don’t you see me as your mother anymore? You haven’t even informed me about your wedding.”“Mom, it’s not like that.”“I know I’m not living with you anymore, but that isn’t enough reason for you not to invite me to your wedding. Am I that bad as a mom?!” she said as she started fake crying.I heaved a deep sigh. “Mom, dad didn’t attend too. T-The wedding was a private one. In fact, only the two of us were there. His parents weren’t even there.”“Really?”“Uh-huh.”She wiped the tears even though there weren’t any, then looked at me. “Then introduce me to him.”“H-Huh?”She folded her arms over her chest and spoke. “I want to meet your husband, I want to know if he really is a good man.I heard he is a CEO. He must be really rich.”“Mom. He’s always busy. Also, ju
Aurora's POV"Oh, you are so handsome! My daughter really knows how to choose!" Mom began throwing compliments at Timothy as soon as she saw him.Timothy really invited my mom for dinner at his house. I already warned him about my mom, but he kept telling me it's alright.Timothy nodded while smiling at her. "Thank you, Mrs. Winters. I really appreciate your compliments. You and Aurora really look alike. No wonder you both look beautiful.""Oh, you're so sweet.""Please wait here. I'll just prepare some food for us." Timothy said as he stood up."Timothy, I'll take care of that."He shook his head. "No, it's alright. You're mom is here, so it would be best if you stay by her side. Just please, feel at home."As soon as Timothy went to the kitchen to prepare some food for us, mom looked at me. The smile on her face didn't fade. "This house is so big and luxurious! You are so lucky to live here, Aurora! Feels like you hit the jackpot!""Mom! Can you lower your voice? Timothy might hear
Aurora's POVI woke up not seeing Timothy on the couch anymore. I took a shower in my room and went downstairs to see if he was there, but I didn't see him. "That was tiring!""Yeah. But it was fun."To my surprise, mom and Timothy suddenly arrived wearing sportwears and wiping their sweats. "Where did you go?" I asked them.They looked at each other and smiled before Timothy answered me. "We went for a jogging. We actually went out five in the morning.""J-Jogging?""Uh-huh. I saw Timothy in the kitchen drinking water early in the morning, so I asked him if he wants to go jogging with me." mom said.I nodded. "I-I see. I'll prepare our breakfast now.""I'm sorry I didn't wake you up because I didn't want to disturb you." Timothy said to me."No, it's alright. I'm just surprised how you look so close already." "Your mom's actually a cool one. She told me a lot of things about you."I widened my eyes at mom who was already laughing. "Mom, what did you tell him?""Well, I just told h
Aurora's POVIt was already late in the afternoon when we landed in Paris since it took us almost 8 hours to arrive. Timothy really chose the hotel where we could clearly see the view of the Eifel Tower.In the lobby were mostly fashion editors and middle eastern families mingling with each other. There were also some who only dropped by to have some coffee or dine in. The hotel staff helped us carry our luggage to our suite. "Wow... Isn't this too big for only the two of us?" I asked as soon as we arrived at our room. "This is where I usually stay whenever I go here in Paris," said Timothy as he took off his coat and put that on the couch. The suite was made in french classic design where you could find comfortably elegant furnishings, including silk-covered armchairs and two cushy beds topped with high-end linens. But what caught my attention was the door-sized silver picture frame outlining a perfect view of the Eifel Tower. "By the way, would you like to take a bath?" I imm
