Derek dropped Brianna off at her house.She thought he would want her to spend the night at his place, but he didn't and it somehow made her feel disappointed.“Want to come say hi to Riley?” Brianna asked “Not today babe, but I'll create the chance for that” Derek replied.Babe? Brianna smiled.Derek kissed her, “Bye baby,” he said to her.“Bye” Brianna replied and started walking away. Her heart was beating fast and loud like a talking drum. She couldn't stop smiling.His car zoomed off.★★★★★Derek’s apartment…“Why are you still awake?” Derek asked Rowan who sat drinking wine as he stepped into his sitting room.“Because I await your royal return” Rowan replied.“Fine, I'm back now so go to bed” Derek said and pour himself a cup.He misses Brianna so much. A part of him wanted to bring her home, but he resisted. He mustn't rush her.He knew bringing her home would result in sex and she isn't ready for that. He doesn't want her to feel rushed or pressured.“You look horrible, for

Derek kept calling Brianna, but she wasn't answering. He became worried as she didn't mention she was going to be busy after the exam.He had given her the day off as it was the day of her final exam for the semester. Now he couldn't get hold of her and it was nighttime already.He dropped several messages but no reply still.He asked Morris to drive him to Brianna's apartment. He put on a face cap and a nose mask to avoid being recognized. He knocked countless times but there was no reply.She wasn't at home, neither was her roommate.He was lucky to see a neighbour who just took out trash. He greeted the person and asked if she knew anything about Brianna and Riley's whereabouts.“Oh, I think they were attending a party. Some sort of celebratory party” she said“Thank you” he said and left.He already made plans to celebrate and spend time with her but she had other plans and even kept him in the dark.He went straight back home but his mind was not at rest.He dialed Rowan's number

★NEW YORK….Derek called Brianna after Lisa left his office.“Hey, I got your text” he said over the phone“And?” Brianna asked softly “And I need you to pack your bags, we'll be away for a few days” Derek said.Brianna smiled sweetly.“Where are we going?” She asked“You'll see. Morris will pick you up at 8am tomorrow” Derek said.“Goodnight Anna” he added and dropped the call.Brianna held her phone to her chest, smiling. That was the best reconciliation ever.“Are you guys finally good?” Riley asked“Yep! And I'll be away for a few days” she informed Riley “Away? Where?” She asked “I don't know. He didn't say” Brianna answered “A surprise huh?” Riley said with a knowing smile“He's spoiling you so bad” she commented and Brianna blushed “Mhm” Brianna hummed“I'll help you pack up the right things” Riley declared “You? I don't trust you” Brianna protested“I didn't ask you. I'm doing it whether you agree or not” she said and went over to where Brianna's space and dragged out he

  ★NEW YORK… “Tell me every fucking thing that happened. Leave no detail out!” Riley warned. Brianna laughed. “Nothing much happened” she lied. Riley knew she was lying.She shook her head softly, disagreeing with Brianna. “I can feel the aura. Something unusual happened” Riley insisted  Brianna released a fake cough. “We went out a lot and spent time together” she simply said and tried to walk away but Riley dragged her back. “Details!” Riley yelled and she laughed. She knew Riley couldn't wait to hear everything and her eagerness was something Brianna wanted play with. “Okay fine” Brianna gave up. Riley adjusted herself for the gist. “The only unusual thing was that we uh…” she drawled and bit her lip.

  ★MINNESOTA… Brianna was surprised by her father's question to her.She wasn't so sure what exactly he was referring to, so she felt he knew something about Derek, but how? Did anyone go through my phone? Or did someone report something to them? she wondered.Could it be about Derek or Riley? Almost impossible Has there been someone watching me in school? Her eyes bulged at the thought of that. “No way!” She exclaimed under her breath. “Are you okay?” Her mother asked with a worrisome expression  She had to tell herself to calm down because she might be overthinking it. “Yes. I'm okay. Very okay” she said at once. “Okay … you acted shocked by what your father asked” her mother said &ldq
