When Amber and James returned, we met them downstairs. Amber looked in awe as Malia walked toward her. Alex and his mate came down the stairs, he was holding Isabella and all three of them looked amazing.Alex had taken his role of uncle as an absolute. There wasn't a day that had gone by without him holding her or making sure that she was alright. No one else had been able to hold her, nobody outside the family, he and James were very alike in that aspect. Very protective.”You look beautiful,” Amber said breathlessly as she wrapped her arms around Malia.I bit my bottom lip and hooked my arm with James’s.We walked to the clearing where Lisa, Jackson, Trisha, Raven, Lucas Lydia, and Micheal were waiting. Amber wiped away a tear as she saw what we had done.”Oh wow,” Amber said.”It looks amazing,” James whispered in my ear. Malia guided Amber onto the cliff and grabbed her hands. ”There is nothing I can say that will ever measure up to how I feel about you, but I promise to show
Avery POV * * * * * * * * I stared at him as he was holding the pen and writing notes, his eyes moving as he read through the history book and his tense jaw biting together as it does when he is focused
Averys POV* * * * * * * *I hastily picked up my phone and saw that I had no missed calls or texts from my parents. How come? Did they not notice that I wasn't home all night? What's going on?Whenever they didn't hear from my brother, if he missed to call them once a week they would be on the first flight to go and check on him. My brother lived in another town since many years back, he had a job, a wife and a life of his own but our parents were determined to be a big part of it.The lack of contact from my parents confused me, but they must've had a good reason for it.As I scrolled down, I saw I had texts and calls from Lydia, my best friend. I could understand why she would be worried as we talked every day, but yesterday I hadn't called her, and she had been at work until late that night. As I scrolled even more, I saw that I had missed texts and calls from Liam. And like a slap to the face, all the events of last night came running back to me, the touching and kissing, the othe
Averys POV* * * * * * * *What the hell?Lydia tilted her head toward me and whispered into my ear "Someone's got their eyes on you." I looked around the room to see what she was talking about and then I saw him, a big muscular man leaning towards the wall with a drink in his hand. He was quite far away so I couldn't see all that well but from what I did see, he looked like a god. His arms were big and muscular, and they made it look like the long-sleeved shirt he was wearing was about to rip open, his chest was out as if he was on his guard, and I could see his hair flowing from the wind let in by the open doors. I gently looked away from him and walked with Lydia to the bar. We each got a glass of red wine, and then we stood there looking over the crowd.The people were already wasted, dry-humping each other on the dance floor to some 80's rock music. Down by the corner, a few frat guys were doing a keg stand. In my opinion, it's really inappropriate considering this is quite a
James POV * * * * * * * * * What's happening to her? She’s looking around the room frantically as if she's about to pass out.
Averys POV * * * * * * * * My head kept looking around at my surroundings in shock before I snapped my eyes back at his, my heart beating fast and my mouth open, I licked my lips and shook my head to regain the ability to speak. ”Did we? Uhm…we didn't right?"
Averys POV * * * * * * * * I had just gotten out of the shower and was wrapping myself in a towel. The water had felt so good against my skin. I must have been in there for at least 30 minutes. At one point, I had to hold on to the wall so that I wouldn't fall asleep. Once I got out of the bathroom, I was greeted by a woman in her 40’s. She had a big smile on her face and
James POV* * * * * * * * *As we sat around the table, everyone started talking to Avery, they showed great interest in her and her family but all I could think of was the sight of her walking down those
