DREIDAN'S POV
The joy I felt! I could not stop reading the message.
No need to come over again Mr. Vaughn. I'm bringing Avatia back home.
They're coming back to NY? How did Draya pull that up? Really got to reward her for a job well done. I dialed her number and she picked up on the fourth ring.
"Mr. Vaughn?" She asked. For the first time, I enjoyed her voice. I was ecstatic hearing her voice. What more of when I finally get to see my Avatia. I can't believe I'm feeling all this joy again. I never knew I'll be this happy after Nevaeh's death.
I tried my best not to sound too excited. Well I made myself sound as cold as she's used to. "I hope you've got positive news or else I'm coming ove..."
"Oh Mr. Vaughn, didn't you see my message?" She asked cautiously.
Avatia kept biting on her finger nails the entire plane ride. She kept staring out of the window. The jet seemed oddly familiar to her but that was the least of her problems. She was nervous. She was going to meet this guy whosoever he was and in all honesty, she wasn't even prepared to meet him. But Draya had assured her it was going to be just okay. She hoped it would be."I've already told you Ava, the guy won't hurt you despite what everyone says. He loves you, believe me. And if he hurts you, I'll take account for it." Draya reassured her, taking her best friend's hand in hers and placing a kiss on it. "I love you so much to endanger your life."Avatia who had been trying to hold the tears of fear in her eyes let them roll down as she turned and hugged Draya. "Thank you. Thank you so much Draya. In fairness, I wanted to leave that cottage. I wanted some air. Some space. And you've ju
WRITER'S POV"Welcome back, princess." Avatia heard the deep voice. She turned around to see the man who said it, and it caused her heart to leap a bit. The voice continuously echoed in her head, causing it to spin. All the portraits in the hall kept flashing before her eyes. Her head was pounding and she began hyperventilating. It was all too much for her. The voice in her head, the paintings, the face of the guy before her, all the people in the room and their hushed, voices it was too much. She pressed her palms on her temple to suppress the pain but nothing was working. She began to feel dizzy and the room started spinning. She heard the people around her call her name but it didn't feel real. Things began to become blurry and her attempted steps faltered. Beads of sweat started rolling down her face and the heat was becoming unbearable. What was happening? 'Avatia....' she heard, before eve
WRITER'S POVSaturday morning, the cafe was super busy with customers coming in, and some leaving, satisfied if I may add. But who Adam did not expect to see was Draya."Draya honey, you're back!" He exclaimed happily but in a low tone, causing the other workers and a few customers look his way. Oh, the sweet old man loved Draya. She was sweet, charming and chatty which always made his customers happy.Draya wrapped her arms around him, in a warm hug. "Oh Adam, I missed you and everyone else and this beautiful little cafe." She said as she waved to the other co-workers nearby. "Plus, I'm not the only one who's here."The old man furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't get it. I can see only you standing before me. Or are you a spirit now?"Draya chuckled. "Oh Adam, what's the polite way of saying 'fuck you' to an old man?"Adam pretended to think. "I think you'll say
WRITER'S POVAnd just like a miracle, that night, while Avatia tossed and tossed in her sleep, it came flashing through her mind. Everything. From the moment she flew from Ohio to New York, her employment in Adam's, to her loosing her job and getting a new one for her very strict boss and meeting Leo. LEO! Ohhh, poor Avatia was already wet from all her perspiration and she was having a restless sleep. The memories kept coming and soon, she wasn't able to breathe again. She tried and tried and finally ended up screaming and abruptly jerking up from her sleep, placing one palm on her forehead and the other on her chest.Draya who was in the next room in Dreidan's luxurious guest house hurried over to Avatia's room and was shocked to see her best friend in such a panicked state. Her protective instincts kicked in and she searched the room for any intruder, seeing none, she rushed to Avatia. "What's wro
WRITER'S POVDreidan canceled all his meetings for the day so he could be with his favorite girl. As usual, Avatia made him do things which he didn't want to do. Like going to the park, feeding birds, playing with little children. Avatia noticed that he actually enjoyed playing with little children and smiled at the thought of having children herself. What if she had children with him? That would be great. The children would be just as perfect as him. She smiled at the thought as both walked hand in hand to go get icecream."What's making you smile that way?" He asked looking at her in amusement.Oh poor Avatia blushed even more. How would she tell him she was thinking about having kids with him? He'll think she's rushing things. She had to play cool. She shook her head and looked away. "Its... Its nothing."Dreidan stopped walking and faced her. "You were blushing a while ago. If you do not tell me what made you blush, I'll tickle you right now till you
WRITER'S POVAnd tomorrow came pretty fast. Avatia was a nervous wreck. Draya even called Dreidan over so that he could make Avatia calm down but she just couldn't stop worrying. She knew how angry her mother was.Grace called Draya at 8:15 AM to set up the 'meeting' which was to take place at 9:30 in her house over breakfast."Calm down princess, everything's gonna be good." Dreidan said while kissing the back of her hand.She looked into his eyes. "What if she doesn't accept you? Us? You mean so much to me and I want her to give her blessings Dre."He kissed her rosy lips to ease her raging nerves. "I love you princess. That's all that matters. If she doesn't accept me, then I'll figure out our next move. But for now, we'll just cross our fingers and hope for the best. "
WRITER'S POV"My goodness, that guy went all the way to get you the latest Louis Vuitton matching heels and clutch. Shit, it looks so damn expensive. Like someone's monthly salary and more!" Draya exclaimed as she kept the first box she'd open aside. She took the next box and pulled the ribbon, smirking. "I hope he has a brother cause I'm super available and opened to this sort of pampering. Jeez...I'm already jealous of your date tonight. I can't believe he said he wants to take care of everything you wear tonight. "Avatia laughed at her crazy friend. "You're crazy, you know? But i think he has a brother. Alessandro. ""Ooohhh...." Draya cooed and shut her eyes. "I think i just had an orgasm. Even his name sounds hot, bitch. Anyways, its not about me having an orgasm today, its about you."Avatia blushed and laughed. "I'm trading you for a can of tuna anytime any day. You're so crazy. Its just dinner, at the rooftop of....what's it even called? PARAÃ&b
WRITER'S POV Avatia blushed and looked at Dreidan through her lashes. He approached her and pulled her into a warm hug, enjoying the smell of her hair shampoo. "You're breathtaking, princess. I'm sorry i couldn't come pick you up earlier, i had to come here and make sure everything is perfect for a perfect date with the perfect person."Avatia looked into his eyes and smiled. "Its fine. Being with you now is everything. By the way, white really suits you. Better than black, if i might add." She teased.He chuckled, leading her to the table and pulling out her seat. She sat down and he went to his own seat. The stars shone so bright as if they were paid to shine and Dreidan could still not believe that all the beauty before him was real. She was surreal. "You're so beautiful."His gorgeous date smiled. "Thank you, handsome."They both burst out laughing. "That's cheesy as fuck. By the way, I ordered food from the French cuisine. "
