All Chapters of A Promise To Forever: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The party was going on a full swing, or, should I say, sprinting and barreling in a full swing. Allie had taken entire responsibility for hosting the party since I didn't know a thing about parties other than occasional business functions and galas, which I handover to the party planners. Allie was the pro at these stuffs, or so she said. Even in our college days, there wouldn't be a weekend she wasn't partying or a month she wasn't hosting a party. I'd never feel so thankful for my part time jobs as I did when I got to skip her parties, which I did every time.I never had a fascination for those parties and gathering- that hadn't changed, but both Eva and Allie had been excited at the prospect so I had offered to sacrifice my place for the cause, happily handing over the responsibility to Allie, who had squealed like a kid taken to Disneyland by Santa himself. She'd bragged that she'd prepare the place and Eva for the awesome-est party to ever be known by humans or aliens alike. Some

Ten hours later, I was in my office, being more un-productive than Leah, who was on leave today because of reasons I didn't bother to find out. I was just grateful that I had one less thing to worry about with my mind already overthinking about the damned blue-eyed devil. I wanted to call him after Eva left last night, but decided against it because it was his fault for misunderstanding everything. I was ready to make things right but he had to make that dramatic exit without listening.And now my heart was scolding my brain for being stubborn. Was it only his fault tho? It reasoned with my brain, since I never gave him a reason to believe otherwise with my own dramatic exit from his place two nights ago. I pursed my lips and stood up from my desk, finally making up my mind to listen to my heart this time. I nodded to myself determinately and left for Adrian's office. I would make things clear once and for all.I entered his office building and frowned when I saw Adrian's glaring stra

Adrian, who was in the verge of taking another sip of water from his glass, choked a little before recovering himself. For such a smart man, it sure took him some time to figure out which scorpion I was talking about."Ah, so we're talking about Ms. Scorpes here?" His lips curled up at the corners but he smartly disguised it as a cough when I narrowed my eyes at him. I ignored him and my mouth took over from there despite the warnings issued by my brain. "Did you know that the name Rochelle means little rock? In other words, little Stone. She literally has you in her name. I wouldn't be surprised if she's planned your wedding in her head." I didn't even know why I was doing this- trying to sabotage our relationship before it even lived a day. All I knew was my insecurities, which I didn't even know existed until today were crawling around me, planting a vice grip around my heart, trying to protect it from getting hurt while at the same time suffocating it in the process. He frowned

I walked out of the elevator with my eyes fixed to my phone. Allie had decided to come and stay with Eva the whole day and I'd just received a video of them covered in pink. From their hair to the toenails. They even had stupid pink wigs attached to their skulls.Rubbing the faint ache on the side of my head, I was about to get to my car when I noticed I wasn't alone. My favorite car in the whole wide world sat there proudly while its owner leaned against it with his hands inside his pockets and a lovely smile on his face.I took a moment to send my multiple heart eyed looks to the elegant grey beauty of Aston Martin. My traitorous eyes then trailed back to its equally magnetic owner and stayed there as a paralyzed honeybee. The sight of his smile, combined with that magical light in his eyes made my heart jump rapidly against my chest, as if it would come out of my body right then and fly towards his.Shaking my ridiculous thoughts and reprimanding myself for sounding so cheesy albei

"This place feels weirdly familiar." I commented as I observed the large mansion in front of us.We were currently standing in front of Adrian's home, in Hillcrest Avenue, New Jersey. It was a beautiful place, one that looked like a castle the Disney Princesses lived in with their happily ever after. It was two storeyed and built in such a way that made it look like a cottage, just much larger. The house radiated elegance despite its modest and simple exterior. There was a cherry blossom tree in the left corner in front of the house with lovely pink little flowers scattered all over. For a moment I felt like I'd suddenly walked into a magical world."As it should. You did live here." Adrian pointed out, effectively pulling me out of my thoughts before I mentally wrote poems about his home. I blinked in surprise as his words registered in my mind. I'd completely forgotten about that fact. I looked around and saw that there was another identical house a few meters away from his. I wonde
