Chapter Forty-Nine
“What do you think?” Aria was practically bouncing on her feet awaiting Deagan’s critique. She insisted that he tried Earl Gray tea, swearing that once he did, he would be hooked.
“Okay who are you and what have you done with my Aria?” He asked, looking genuinely concerned. Aria’s heart sped up at his endearment ‘my Aria’.
What do you mean?” She asked warily, her smile falling instantly.
“I mean, you, the girl who couldn’t go without her iced coffee fix even in winter, is swearing that tea is the best thing to grace the earth.” He pointed out, feeling genuinely concerned.
“I don’t know, Hazel forced me to taste it one day and I liked it sinc

“Okay Miss London, let’s get this show on the road.” She giggled at his enthusiasm.“Anywhere, in particular, you’d like to see?” She asked, plotting out a basic agenda for the day. When Deagan didn’t answer she turned to face him, ready to ask again but stopped when she saw the far-away look in his eye. She knew that look all too well, he was reminiscing about something.“Kew Gardens.” Aria’s eyes widened at the sudden answer, the word was out of her mouth before she could stop it.“What?” Deagan didn’t seem to notice her wide eyes; instead, he continued staring ahead with a small smile on his face.“It was the next place she planned to visit.” He glanced at her fleet

“Only you would take me to Buckingham Palace to see a car collection.” Deagan chuckled as they made their way out of the Palace and onto the streets of Central London.“I knew it would bore you to take a long tour of the Palace and as much as it pains me, I couldn’t put you through such torture.” Aria shook her head sadly, Deagan laughed out loud at her explanation.“How noble of you.” He teased and she grinned wickedly.He loved the cheerful air that surrounded them, the tension between them had dissipated the moment they stepped out of the apartment and part of him wondered if they would remain this way after returning to the apartment. He mentally chastised himself for thinking that and forced himself back to the present, he wanted to enjoy every waking moment with her no

“Was it worth it?” Aria asked when they stepped out of The Tower after their tour, they hadn’t chosen the extensive tour with a guide but instead opted for browsing the areas that interested them.“It was pretty cool, maybe one day we can take the full tour and see what all the hype is about.” She readily agreed, steering them in the direction of a tour bus station across the street from The Tower.“It’s a pity the Big Ben is under maintenance, it was one of the things I loved the most about the city when I came here the first time. Every time you hear the clock chime on the hour, it makes you realise how much time is wasted in a day, all the moments we take for granted are moments shaved off from our lives.” Aria pondered on the thought.

“What!” Deagan growled into the phone, he was angry at himself and at Zoey for having such horrible timing.“Baby, I miss you!” Zoey nagged into the phone only agitating Deagan further.“I don’t have time for your bullshit Zoey, get to the point.” He knew her too well, she didn’t call unnecessarily.“Which hotel are you staying in?” She asked and he felt panic flare inside of him.“Why do you want to know?” His voice remained impassive, but he was growing more suspicious of her actions by the second.“Aww baby, you didn’t hear. We’re flying to London for Amaya’s Dance Showcase, they wanted to surprise you, but I was too excited to

“Are you ready to go?” Deagan asked Aria when he stepped into the kitchen, her eyebrows furrowed at his question.“Where are you going?” She enquired.“I’m taking you to your appointment, where else?” He smiled funnily.“O-okay.” She was hesitant, but couldn’t find a reason for him not to take her there.“Have you had breakfast?” She nodded an affirmative and allowed him to usher her out of the house.The ride to the hospital was silent apart from the radio playing softly in the background.“I have a meeting with Mr Victor at 12pm, so you can leave; I’ll take The Tube back home.” She was anxi

Deagan was engrossed in replying to emails when his phone rang and Amaya’s name flashed on his screen, he quickly accepted the call.“Well, well, well. To what do I owe this pleasure?” he teased, enjoying it when she scoffed.“Can’t I call my only brother?” Usually, he would have laughed and responded sarcastically, but her comment made his heart pang.“You have two brothers, Amaya.” The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. Amaya took Aycin leaving the hardest of all and he felt guilty for being here with their brother when he knew his sister missed him immensely.“He’s dead to me.” She sounded pissed, as she always did when someone mentioned Aycin.

“Can I ask you something?” Deagan voiced after a few minutes of silence.“Sure.” She said without thinking, she felt at ease in his presence, despite the possibilities that came with such a question.“When did you first start seeing Dr van Donne?” She thought back to the first time she heard the man’s name; Dr Alton had referred her to him, insisting that it was a good idea for anyone going through what she was.“Probably within the first week of meeting Dr Alton, he referred me to him, saying that it would be good for me. I was really hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a chance.” She explained truthfully.“Did it help? Does

Aria looked at the three tickets in her hand, sucking in a deep breath she hoped she wasn’t making a mistake. She wanted so badly to watch Amaya dance, but she couldn’t help her apprehension.“Hey, it’s normal to be worried,” Hazel reassured her.“Is it”?” She looked unconvinced and Hazel smiled.“Honey, facing a difficult past isn’t meant to be easy. It takes courage even if you aren’t looking it dead in the eye. You’re the strongest person I know, it’s time you started believing that.” Aria wrapped her arms around her friend; her words were exactly the motivation she needed.“Thank you for everything Haze.” Hazel hugged her back just as tightly.
