“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Deagan asked for the hundredth time and Aria’s thin patience ran out.
“Deagan, for God’s sake, I am not a child, I can handle myself so would you please relax and get out of the damn car before they think we’ve changed our minds.” She snapped, with irritation written all over her face.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t handle yourself, I just- you and my brother don’t have the best history and I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.” He pouted.
“I am here in a personal capacity, if Aycin cannot separate his personal and professional life, that’s not my business and I am more than capable of handling him if he says something out of line so please breathe and let’s go, I can see th

Holding her hand in his, Aria expertly navigated them through the dense crowd which consisted of hundreds of girls dressed in either too little cloth or too much leather and metal. It looked a little like a scene from a fast and furious movie, apart from the fact that they weren’t congregated on a random street at the back of town, instead they filled the Seattle Circuit to the brim.“You couldn’t beat me if you tried, Rookie.” A tall man dressed in a blue racing overall smirked, his features were dark and looked dangerous. It wasn’t hard to tell by his prideful stance that he wasn’t speaking out of pure ego.“Why don’t we put that to the test on the track, or are you scared that you’ll lose your title tonight?” the man threw his head back with a burst of deep, rumbling laughter which was e

Aria’s concentration on the case file in front of her was broken by the shrill ring of her office landline. Seeing her assistant’s name pop up, a bad feeling settled over her heart, Lawrence preferred speaking to her in person when he needed something.“Lawrence?” She answered seriously.“Miss Gray, Mr and Mrs Gray are here to see you, shall I send them in?” Aria’s shoulders deflated at the mention of her parents, she wasn’t particularly in the mood to deal with her father’s disapproval today and it was very unlike them to show up at her office unannounced, her father preferred summoning her to his lair when he needed to speak to her.Aria cleared her throat to get rid of the ball that was forming and glanced at the wall clock before answering, “Of co

“Hey, Beautiful.” Aria smiled wide at the greeting and her nerves eased a little, he seemed to be in a good mood, which meant that the sudden news of dinner with her parents would go down just fine.“Hello to you too, Mr Cheery.” She teased, enjoying when he laughed.“Can a man simply not be happy to hear from his gorgeous girlfriend?” Her grin widened, leaving it to him to make her heart do a happy dance.“It’s a little suspicious, but I’ll let it slide because what I’m about to say might make you change your mind about hearing from me.” Deagan remained quiet and she took that as her cue to continue.“I was ambushed by my parents this morning, they want to meet you.” She held her breath.

“Honey, I’m home.” Deagan’s voice traveled to where Aria was rinsing her hair under the warm spray of water.“I’m in the shower, make yourself comfortable,” she shouted back with a smile on my face. He seemed to be making good use of the key she’d given him.Once her hair was product-free, she shut off the water and stepped out of the shower, expertly navigating the steamy room to find her towel. Behind her trailed a puff of steam as she emerged from the bathroom and Deagan feasted on the image of her glistening body wrapped in only a towel from his comfortable position on her bed.“I could get used to this view, I should show up earlier every time we go out,” Deagan smirked and she rolled her eyes.&ldquo

Aria hummed quietly as she sorted through the paperwork on her desk, she was preparing the files relating to the accounts that Lawrence would be taking over, she felt excited to hand them over to him.“Hey boss lady, I’m back from lunch, do you need anything from me?” Lawrence popped his head in the door and with a smile, she beckoned him in.“Have a seat.” He frowned at the mess on her table, he wasn’t a huge fan of the chaos she created while working and sorting through things.“How do you even know what’s going on here?” He grimaced as she dug under three files for a pile she made earlier.“It’s organised chaos my dear friend, plus they say that intelligent people are messier.” S

Deagan walked up to the door of Aria’s house with a lump lodged in his throat and hope in his bleeding heart.His shaky fists landed three knocks on the wood, he knew she’d be expecting him and he was hoping she’d calmed down enough in the last few hours to let him explain things to her.“Aria, Baby, please open the door?” Deagan pleaded, leaning his forehead against the door.He heard footsteps growing closer and stood upright waiting for her to open, but the action never came.“I know I have no right to ask anything of you, but I’m pleading with you to give me five minutes. Just let me explain.” On the other side of the door, Aria leaned against the handle, contemplating whether to let him in.

“If you told me the truth, why would you have done it?” Aria asked the moment Deagan pulled open the door to his apartment.He stared at her shocked for a moment with his hand caught in his messy hair, he wasn’t expecting her to be the person on the other end of his door at 2 am.“Aria…” She resisted the urge to smile upon seeing his awe-filled face, “What are you doing here?” He composed himself and gripped the door handle harder.“I need to know, why would you have told me the truth?” His eyes narrowed slightly, trying to grasp why she was asking him such a question.“Because you deserved to know.” He frowned.“No, I mean, what makes
