Amelia's POV "Awn, you guys are just so cute", Auntie Elena said instead and I had to force a smile. I can still feel the hotness on my cheek where William had kissed me. It had sent so many shivers down my spine and it still does. I turned to look at him but I don't think I look angry enough right now, cause he smiled so sweetly at me. "What of your parents, Amelia? I should meet them someday", Auntie Elena said and I looked at her with a small smile. "They are dead", I said truthfully as calmly as I could and I felt William's hold on my hand underneath the table. I turned to look at him and he was just staring at me and then, he smiled. "Oh my God, I am so sorry", Auntie Elena said and I just smiled at her. I don't need her self-pity, you know. "What of your other relatives-?", she started again but she was cut short by one girlish voice. "Auntie!" I looked up to see a black colored hair girl. She is wearing a dress that reached the middle of her thighs, barely. Barely re
William's POV I walked into a hallway, away from the party as I searched for father. "William", someone suddenly said behind me and I turned to see my father's assistant. My father was in front of his assistant with the cane he now uses in his hand. How long has it been since I saw this man? Ten years? Fifteen years? "Father", I greeted as I bowed at him. "Mm", he replied with a small smile. I guess he is happy to see me then. We walked into a quiet room and took our seats on the couches there. My father's assistant stood behind him. "How long has it been since your mother took you away?", he asked and I chuckled. "Too long", I replied and he smiled before nodding. "You've grown up well. I would have to thank her for that", father said and I felt my stomach churn. "It's something every mother would do", I replied and he nodded. "I heard about your company", he said and I looked up at him. "It seems to be faring well", he said and I just kept an expressionless face as I n
Amelia's POV I dragged my back against the door when I heard William's footsteps leaving. I can't believe he just said all that. Mia was right after all. He said he loves me but how do I explain my feelings to him? I know it's not love, right? I can't possibly love him, it is just a mere infatuation. Yes, that's what this is. What do I do now though? I have always thought of the possibility of William loving me but now that he says it, I am just dumbfounded. I don't fuçking know what to do and I am angry at that. 'He has confessed, Amelia. Think of something, please, my other part said and I sighed out loud but sure, I thought of something. His lips on mine, that feeling. I touched my lips and the memories replayed in my head. Oh, it felt so heavenly. The way he kissed my lips, the way he explored all corners of my mouth. The way his lips moved in perfect sync against mine. Oh my! It felt so good. I opened my eyes when I realized what I just thought of but I can't help the s
Amelia's POV A few minutes later, we were still not at home. "Is it me or is it taking longer to get home?", I asked before my eyes went wide. "Wait! Did you forget the way home?! Are we lost?!", I shouted in shock. "We are not going home", William finally said and I got confused. "Where are we going to then?", I asked in curiosity and then a frown followed. I mean he did not tell me about an outing or meeting before. "You will see", he replied and I frowned. "Like seriously?", I asked stretching my words a little and he turned to look at me. I gave him a 'really?' look and he smiled. "Yeah, I am sure you will like it", William replied and I just rolled my eyes. The car finally stopped and I looked out of the window. It's an amusement park. "Why are we in a park?", I asked and William rolled his eyes at me. "Come on, get down from the car", he said as he unbuckled his seat belt and went down quickly. I looked at him with a frown before getting off as well. William locked
Amelia's POV "Nothing, I just like how my full name sounds on your lips", William said and I looked up at him in surprise. My laughter? Fading well. I looked up at him in surprise as my heart started beating fast and he just looked back at me. I looked into his deep blue eyes and I could not take my eyes off them. It is just beautiful. "Cheesy", I finally found my voice even though it came out low. At least it ended the tension between us as a smile crept onto William's lips again. "I am serious", he replied in a fairly tiny voice and I rolled my eyes at him as I felt my cheeks getting hot. "Wait, is that a blush I see?", William teased and I covered my cheeks quickly. "Fuck off!", I groaned and he laughed. "Bad language Amy. Bad bad language", he said and I scowled at him. "Would you get the candy or not?", I asked quickly and he laughed before walking towards the cotton candy stall. I smiled as I looked around. I don't know why but I can't seem to get the smile off my fac
The Amelia's POV Today is Sunday. Today makes a week since William took me to that park. He has been so sweet to me after that day and I just could not help it. I got amazed by his actions and his cheesy words. I don't think it is a mere infatuation anymore, I think I might just like William, not love him though. I walked into the kitchen and tried to find the ingredients I will be needing. That's right, I want to cook. Jeez, calm down. It's just pancakes. I learned it from the kitchen channel I now watch on TV but I would be watching a tutorial on YouTube as I make it as well. I got all the ingredients from the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. "Mary must make snacks a lot", I commented loudly as I found the liquid vanilla flavor. "She makes me cake on my birthday", William said from behind me and I turned to see William standing by the door with his hands in his pants pocket. He looks like a model, just standing like that. "Oh, the teacher said pancake and cake ingredie
Amelia's POVThe lady finally left him not noticing me and I saw William smile."Come in", he said and I looked at him with a frown.William walked further into the house with the lady trailing after him. She is walking way too close to him too."Oh, Amelia. Meet Hilary, my college classmate back in country A", William said and I scoffed internally before forcing a smile."Hilary, this is Amelia", William said and I looked at him in surprise.Just Amelia? Wait, what was I expecting? Amelia dear? Or My girlfriend, Amelia? Oh God! That would be insane.I was about to stretch my hand out for a handshake towards Hilary when she suddenly talked in her sweet voice."Is she your cook?", she asked as she fashionably held her bag and I groaned loudly.William looked at me quickly and when he noticed the way I was looking at Hilary, he quickly said. "No, no, she is not my cook", he replied and I rolled my eyes anyways."I am sorry, she is using an apron, so I just thought-", she said and trail
Amelia's POV Still on Sunday (chuckles). The three of us are seated in the same positions we were in the afternoon when we were having the pancakes. "Don't you have a maid, William?", Hilary asked as she served herself. "She does not work on Sundays", William replied sternly. I guess he does not like the sound of someone calling Mary a maid. "Oh", Hilary replied before sitting down on her seat and starting to eat her food. I was about to start eating my dinner as well when William suddenly talked. "Eat the grapes first, Amy", he said and I looked at him with a frown. "What?", I asked as I looked up at him and he raised an eyebrow at me as he talked. "Come on, try them", he said again and I looked at Hilary. She was also looking at me, waiting for me to eat the grapes. I guess. I picked one up from the bowl in the middle of the dining table and ate it. "Then, drink your juice", William said and I drank my juice after, waiting for the magical taste but nothing came. "Eat
