Chapter Fifty One
Ava Well what can I say? There is absolutely no way I am going to be able to sleep much tonight and fancy letting me hang on like this. If my heart wasn't gravitating so strongly towards him, I'd simply say forget it, tell me now. Only he came across stern on the messages that I didn't dare push it. Especially not after Sebastian has come all this way to see me. I mean really. Just drop your bum on your private jet and fly a few thousand miles to see the girl of your dreams. It is amazing. This is truly the stuff that movies are made of, you know Hallmark movies in particular. I wonder if I could write a book about us. I can't wait to tell Zoe when she comes back in with Nate. Talking of which, that is getting pretty serious, meeting his mom tomorrow. Crikey. I am still staring at my phone, in particular a selfie of Sebastian and I. We're sitting at the roof terrace restaurant he booked for us in Grenada. My smile takes up my whole face and his tiger eyes are looking down on me with

Chapter Fifty Two
Ava Well needless to say I didn't sleep much. I have been awake on and off all night and now I feel totally shattered. Although I am mixed with so many different emotions at once. It's six a.m and I know Sebastian will be awake and I am convinced he will be feeling pretty much the same as me. One minute elated that we will see each other again. Has it really only been twenty-four hours. It feels longer. The next I feel scared. What if he does tell me something that makes me run in the opposite direction? My feelings for him are so strong that they have completely washed over me like a tsunami, I couldn't imagine anything he tells me will turn me off wanting to be with him.

Chapter Fifty Three
Sebastian Am I nervous? Yes. Am I terrified? Yes. Am I excited to see my beautiful American Girl again? Absolutely. The last twenty-four hours have been a rollercoaster and now it is finally time to go down to meet my driver and finally collect Ava. I haven't slept much and with the time difference between here and Japan, I spent a good deal of time on my lap top and put a call in to my project manager Mr Hazouko over there. He has assured me that everything is running smoothly and we have no issues. I already know from my CFO that we are now operating back in budget. I've reviewed the latest images and the gardens at our hotel there are impressive, when the cherry comes into blossom it will be a sight to see, in Japan this is my favorite time of the year.

Chapter Fifty Four
Sebastian I am greeted by the hotel manager as I walk through the door. They have expected me for the reservation I have made for the entire terrace for our breakfast to be served with champagne. "Good morning, Sebastian. It is so good to see you." We shake hands. We've known each other now for many years and he was once my hotel manager for a hotel in San Francisco. His wife's mother became very poorly and she wanted to relocate to Chicago to be her main carer. Hence he moved and at the time I couldn't offer Rick a position in either of my Chicago hotels. He is missed. A good bloke who has put his family before everything. That goes a long way in my book. "Good to see you, Rick. How are things going? I see there have been some changes since I last came here." I notice they've had a facelift, the walls are now painted a shade of cream instead of the pale blue they once were. It looks elegant and the optimum of luxury. "We are well thanks you for asking. My wife's mother passed awa

Chapter Fifty Five
Sebastian We have selected our breakfast from the dishes. I have chosen something simple. Scrambled egg, smoked salmon and toast. To be honest my stomach is spinning so much I actually feel physically sick. Ava has chosen the same with a side plate of sweet pastries. She does, I have noticed like sweet things. I reach my hand across the table and take hers in mine. "Where to begin." I start with and swallow. This isn't going to be easy since I already know I should have been honest and open with her right from the onset. Only I did not expect for us to grow on each other so quickly nor for our hearts to blend. Yet they have. "I'm ready, Sebastian." Her eyes are earnest and expectant. "As you know, I was with somebody fourteen years ago. I was just a young adult, sixteen. Her name was Lleña. She was a girl from my father's friends business partner and we went to the same school. We used to play together when we were children and I guess it was always expected we could get married

Chapter Fifty Six
Ava I don't know what to think or what to say. I mean it is a lot to take in. The way he was treated by his ex, finding out five years later that you have a child. It is all overwhelming and my heart goes out to Sebastian. I can imagine how hard he fought for his child but all those wasted years. Not being there to hold her hand, change her diapers, hear her say her first word or take her first step. What does that do to a person? It would cripple me. It makes me realize just how much I really love Sebastian. It's deep and true. I know I am being honest to myself when I look into his eyes, they appear worried. I can only imagine that his heart is in his mouth waiting for me to respond. Do I need to think about this or do I jump in feet first? My whole life will change. I don't even think I can imagine to what degree it will change. Even without there being a child involved who will be living with us and becoming a step-mom, my entire life will be wildly different. The full force of

Chapter Fifty Seven
Ava The impact is huge. I mean I never could have expected how much my life is about to change. Not really. "You have a wedding to plan, Girl." Zoe reminds me. Like I need reminding. My entire focus has been on the wedding. My mother of course wants to invite all her friends, all my friends, all our family and wow well that would take us to a huge number of two hundred and fifty people. I'm not sure about that. Sebastian and I have four weeks to go until Bella comes to live with us. Am I nervous? Oh. My. God. I am so nervous. She knows about me, Sebastian has had the call with her and told her he had some very important news to tell her. So he left Chicago yesterday, precisely two days after he had arrived to fly straight to Marbella where Bella is currently living with Marissa. "My little girl is so excited to come to live with me. Ava I cannot tell you how much this means to me and for you to be by my side. I know already you will be giving so much up. I cherish you." He kisse

Chapter Fifty Eight
Sebastian Leaving Ava is always so damn difficult. If I had my way I would wrap her in my arms and take her to Marbella with me straight away. Only it is not possible and besides anything else, it would not be fair on Arabella. She is expecting to see her daddy. My driver negotiates the busy Chicago traffic as we drive to the airfield where my jet awaits me. It will be a long trip back and part of me is filled with emptiness of Ava not being by my side, the fear that anything could happen between now and when she joins me in a few weeks’ time to be with me and contentment knowing that Ava wants to be with me for the rest of our life. Even I am taken aback by how my heart has gone from this rigid lock down for ten years to being so open and receiving with Ava. She is a very special woman. She is one of a kind and I am confident my baby girl, Arabella is going to welcome her into her life too. I keep my finger’s crossed. After all, it is all sudden and new for Arabella. I only found

Chapter Fifty Nine
ZoeKnowing my best friend is going to be alright fills me with joy. It was a hard time for her having been ditched by Mark and just months before the wedding. Who needs that in their life? I could happily have gone over to his and stuck needles into his eyes. Alright so that is a bit harsh, but you have no idea just how much I hate that man.To be perfectly honest, I never really liked him from the start. When we were younger he was always a bit arrogant and had way too much self-assurance and not in a good way. He was always the kid who seemed to know it all. The girls, well they did like him and that only fed his ego some more. When Ava started dating him I wanted to warn her off him, but there was no telling a seventeen year old Ava anything. She was smitten with him. She never really saw what I saw when it came to Mark at school and growing up.It wasn’t even as if he didn’t know what her dreams were made of, how much she always wanted to be a photographer. Ava is amazing she can

Chapter Sixty
AvaI have landed and boy is it busy. So many people, I guess after a few days back home and having been in tranquil areas of Spain this all seems manic. But I love it. Yes I do. I've always loved New York having visited it a few times now. Four times I have been to the Big Apple. Once with my parents when I was fourteen, it was a four day break and we did all the typical tourist bits and pieces. Which I fully intend to do whilst I am here this time. Then I came with a school friend when I was sixteen, getting my parents to let me come for a school photography project was hard work. I was warned about pick pockets and just about everything else but it didn't put me off. I wanted to the excitement, the fun and to take amazing pictures. Which I have with me for my agent to review. Then when I met Mark, on our first dating anniversary he bought me here. We had a romantic weekend in a beautiful hotel right in Times Square. In the heart of the action. I think about it as I wait for my p
