20. Worth The Risk
I CHOSE YOU AND I' NEVER CHANGING MY MIND!
Avery didn't sit at her usual spot for lunch today, because she knows he is waiting there. She can't face him right now, she would go weak.
"Avery you're not having lunch today?" Nora asked.
"Nah I'm not hungry actually." She lied, she was hungry but right now cooking seemed like a better option.
"Boss, someone outside is asking for you!" One of the waiters came to tell her.
"Is that 'someone' a guy in his late 20s, tall and handsome in a business suit?" She asked.

She closed her eyes tightly and tried to get out of the dream. Sometimes you know it's a dream but you can't get out of it. But this.. it felt too real for a dream. Avery could still feel his hands that were secured around her waist and the firm and warm chest against which she was pressed. "Riccardo? What are you doing here!?" she said opening her eyes.

For a second she didn't realised what he was talking about, although she didn't believed in the Greek Gods, she has always seen them as a fictional story or world that the people have created for their entertainment but she still have read so many novels on Greek mythology, enough to know what half bloods actually mean.
