Chapter Sixty
“It’s a duck!” Deagan called out, causing Hazel to stop short and send him an incredulous look.
“Where in the world did you get that from!” She exclaimed which made everyone burst out laughing.
“Uh, you said it swims on top of water?” Aria couldn’t hold back her giggles when the timer ran out.
“I said it’s man-made!” He huffed in reservation and looked at her expectantly.
“Well, what is it?”
“A sailboat!” everyone else chorused, much to his annoyance.
“I give up, this game is stupid!” he threw his hands up, pouting.

She looked stunning in her baby blue gown, the plunging neckline made him uncomfortable and the wisps of her pixie cut hair which brushed the back of her neck gave him the urge to go out and drag her back and hide her from the prying eyes of the world, but the hopeful smile she sent him when she stepped off the grand staircase still lingered in his mind. He could see the hint of insecurity in her eyes and the nervousness in the hands that constantly ran down the front of her dress, smoothing out invisible creases.As much as he wished he was the lucky man who would get to place his hand on the small of her back tonight, he knew he was one leg short and all out of luck, so he had to settle for watching her approach the sleek black Mercedes Benz which no doubt held a man he was insanely jealous of.As she disappeared from his sight, into the dark car,

Deagan’s eyes were furrowed, where in the world was Aria at this time of the night? He was far too agitated to stop himself from reaching for his phone.He trusted her, but dammit he was worried.“Hello?” she answered on the second ring, he barely had time to feel relieved before the sadness in his voice threw him into a panic.His eyes widened in alarm and he flew up from the seat, not feeling the pain that shot down his leg at the sudden movement. “Aria, where are you? What’s wrong?” his voice was frantic, the weight that settled on his chest only increased when a sob escaped her throat.“Ari baby, please tell me where you are.” he choked out and tried to take a step towards the door, but tripped o

“Hey… Can I join you?” Amaya’s voice broke her from her angry thoughts, she was surprised to see the youngest sibling standing beside her. She was the last person she was expecting, especially given the fact that Maya didn’t seem to be her biggest fan.“Sure.” The young woman took a seat on the bench beside her and pulled her knees up to her chest before leaning back to look at the star-littered sky. The evening was quite chilly, which wasn’t particularly unexpected since they were in England.“I always loved the stars even though I don’t get to see them real often living in the city.” She smiled, looking content.“You danced beautifully at the showcase, I know it may not count for much, but I am really proud of you Amaya.&rdq

“Aria! We need to go!” Amaya whined from the doorway, causing Aria to smirk evilly.“What’s taking so long?” Deagan stepped up behind Amaya with a frown on his face, looking as annoyed as his sister.“Just a few last-minute touch-ups.”“What are you touching up for and I thought it was only an informal dinner, why are you wearing a dress?” His frown deepened, now he looked more pissed than annoyed.“‘Cause I want to,” Aria smirked and walked past the pair.Maya puffed out a breath and walked behind her, sounding relieved that they were leaving.###

Andrew landed in London early on Monday morning against his better judgment. He was split between the need to leave Amaya be, or fix their “relationship” for the sake of his friendship with her brother. He knew getting involved with her in any way would later prove to be a bad decision, but he found it hard to resist her charm.It hurt his pride to admit to himself that he isn't who she wanted but was similarly turned off by the lack of interest she showed in his pursuit of her, especially after everything that happened when they were still back home.Neither her brothers nor aunt and uncle knew what went down between them and part of him wished it would stay that way, but given their inability to keep things platonic in front of her family, they would eventually ask questions and Andrew was willing to bet he would be the first person qu

“How’s your leg?” Aria looked worriedly at Deagan, he had just had the cast removed and Aria was worried that the leg wasn’t properly healed, but Deagan brushed her off.“Babe, I am just fine, it doesn’t hurt, it hasn’t for a while. The doctor wouldn’t have removed the cast unless I was ready and I still have the boot on for support.” He soothed, taking her hand into his and placing a kiss on the back.“Let’s take a seat anyway,” Aria suggested and Deagan got the feeling that she wasn’t convinced, but nodded for her sake.“Outside?” Deagan asked when he spotted the glass doors that led out to the garden and Aria nodded.“It’s so beautiful here at night if the

Andrew’s flight was leaving in two hours, but the thought of walking out on her without so much as a word didn’t settle well with him, so against the voices in his head screaming for him to take the elevator all the way down to the lobby, he stepped off on the floor her room was on.He sucked in a deep breath and knocked at the door. Glancing at his watch, he cringed when he saw that it was 3 am, she wouldn’t be thrilled about being woken up, she was a beast when woken prematurely.She opened the door with sleepy yet deadly eyes, which much to his surprise, lit up when they landed on him and dropped to sadness when she saw the bag beside him.“Andrew, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” She eyes the bag cautiously, wrapping her arms around herself tighter as

“Deagan will you get that please?” Aria called from the bathroom when she heard her phone ringing.“Aria’s phone, hello,” Deagan answered, sounding as professional as ever.“Hi Alaster, yes she’s in the shower at the moment. Can I take a message or ask her to call you back?”“Would you please tell her to check her inbox, I’ve sent her some pointers on the history of the event and suggestions of things she can mention in her speech,” Alaster said.“Sure, I’ll tell her to check it out.” Deagan nodded.“Your names are all on the guest list, I understand that your family is still in London?” Deagan nodded and hummed p
