CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

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

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

★BRIANNA’S APARTMENT…Brianna was trying to convince her parents to let her stay back in New York after the semester's exams.“No Brianna, you'll come home” her mother insisted “But mom, I can take care of myself” she pointed out “Look, baby, we know you're old enough to take care of yourself but you need us too. We want you here. We miss you” her father chipped in.Brianna sighed in frustration, she was trying to spend more time with Derek and also face her job better.Telling her parents she got a job for the holidays would only make them travel down to New York and take her back.Brianna always wondered why her parents were so protective of her. Their excuse was always that they care about her and want her to be close to them always, as the only child they have.“But dad, a lot of families have a single child and they let that child do whatever they want” she debated “Bria,” her father called her like they fondly do at home “Yes dad” she answered “What's the fourth commandment

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

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

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

★BRIANNA'S APARTMENT...Derek turned to Brianna, “you're traveling back home?” He asked calmly but obviously offended.Brianna sighed, “yes” she replied in a low tone, like she wasn't sure.“I sincerely was going to tell you” Brianna defended immediately.“Really? When? At the airport? When you've gotten home already?” Derek asked“I was going to tell you today or tomorrow” Brianna saidDerek nodded. “I see you love to do stuff without informing anyone” he said and got upRiley folded her lips in regret. She had no idea Brianna had not mentioned it to Derek.Brianna turned to her like she could do anything to stop Derek from being angry.Riley gave a What-do-I-do look. “Safe travels back home” Derek said and walked out. Brianna went after him, “listen to me, Derek” she was saying behind himDerek stopped and turned to her, “please go back in so you don't hurt yourself. I have something important to attend to right now” with that he walked away.“You shouldn't have said that!” Brianna

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

★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

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

★MIAMI… She placed her hands on his chest “Or maybe you're just too…’’ she was saying but paused, letting her eyes complete what her mouth didn't say Her eyes roam his physique with her hands accompanying them; moving from his chest, to his biceps, then his arms. She took her eyes back to his face, staring into his eyes like she was searching for something Her breaths were sharp and loudly poking her singlet as she did this “What are you doing?” Derek asked in a husky voice. “Nothing” she replied, kissing his chest. “I'm just appreciating God's creation” “I barely hold out around you, Anna” Derek groaned “Then don't” she replied and continued kissing his chest.

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

★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.

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

★MINNESOTA… “Mom, dad, I have something to tell you two” Brianna said, looking at her parents faces. “What's that sweetie?” Her father asked, worry creased on his face. Brianna cleared her throat, trying to sound normal. She wasn't sure about how they would take it but it was time to let them know. “I um, you know I'll be done with school in no time” she asked and they nodded “So I was thinking to start looking for job opportunities before I round up” she said and bit her lip That wasn't what she meant to say. She wanted to tell them she already has a job, now she sounds like she wants to ask for their permission to get a job. She slapped herself mentally ‘just a scaredy cat’ she thought to herself. “That's a goo

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

★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

CHAPTER THIRTY

★MINNESOTA...“I've been out with friends” she replied“Who?” Her mother asked“Just friends” she said and walked to the fridge to get water“I’ll go to my room now. Goodnight” she said and left them.“She's changed” Andaline whispered to her husband after Brianna left“She's just growing, no need to suffocate her. Let her breathe a little” he said. Somehow he believes her. Cooper didn't think there was a reason for Brianna to lie to them.“Are you sure?” She asked and her husband nodded.Brianna took in a deep breath as she entered her room. She thought they were going to make a big deal out of it.She plans on meeting Derek the next day, though earlier than she did so she'd get back home on time and not make them suspect anything.Her phone started ringing and it was Derek calling. She smiled and answered.★★★★★NEXT DAY…“I wish you wouldn't go back” Brianna pouted as she hugged Derek “In my presence or absence, I am all yours” Derek assured and she smiled.“I'll try to shorten my
