CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEFOUR DAYS LATER****BRIANNA**It was Friday, the day Adrian finally gets to go to the family dinner that he's been avoiding for a while, and I'm going with him. How cool is that? I just have to be there because Stella wanted me to, if not, I would rather spend Friday night coiled up on my bed and reading one of the books that I haven't had time to finish reading.I was dressed in a simple brown evening gown with thin straps and a slit that ran all the way up to my thigh. I decided to dress in a simple yet fancy way. I also had on a simple necklace and earrings then completed the outfit with a black purse and black stilettos. My hair was done in a fresh braid and I did a simple makeup too. I'm not really dressing to impress so I was good to go.I sat on my bed to wait for Adrian as it seemed like we were beginning to run late. We were supposed to get there by 7:30 and this was 7:00, but I didn't really know how far his family house is so...I raised my head when I he
CHAPTER SIXTY SIX**BRIANNA**Adrian led me up the short steps that led to the main door with his hand on the small of my back and I calmed down as I felt the heat of his body. He rang the doorbell and Stella appeared a few seconds later, a big smile forming on her face when she set her eyes on us."There is my favorite couple!" She exclaimed excitedly as she engulfed the both of us in a bear hug."Mom! I just styled that hair!" Adrian huffed as she roughed his styled hair and I giggled."What? I just can't help myself." She batted ber eyelashes at him innocently and I couldn't stop myself from giggling."Hey Stella." I waved at her with a smile and she grinned widely at me."Brianna! I thought you guys weren't going to show up." Stella uttered."Why would you think that? I promised to convince him to come and I did. I don't break my promises." I stated."Glad to see the both of you here. And I wonder how you got to convince Adrian, this dude is a stone!" She said and I chuckled."I d
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN**BRIANNA**It was Thursday, Adrian and I were in our office and we were going about our work in silence. The office was so silent that one could hear if a lin dropped. I was engrossed in my work that I didn't hear when Adrian called me till be came over and stood in front of me.I raised my head to look at his handsome self. I saw his lips moving but couldn't hear what he was saying so I plucked out the earphones from my ear to hear him."What did you say?" I asked him. I had been listening to loud music for the past hour as it helped me concentrate more so I didn't hear what be was saying."So you had earphones in your ears this whole time?" He glared."Yes, I did. Sorry I didn't hear what you were saying." I said with a giggle."You're something else." He scoffed."I'll take that as a compliment. It means that I'm a special creature." I responded with a wink and he rolled his eyes."We have something to talk about." He said seriously, all traces of playfulness g
CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHTNEXT MORNING**BRIANNA**I woke up by 4 a.m. the next morning because of how anxious I was feeling. I took my bath and dressed up. I also checked my travelling bag to make sure that I had everything I would be needing. I didn’t want to leave anything behind. I also had a light breakfast because I wasn’t sure if we would be served on the plane. It was 5 a.m. now and I was waiting for Adrian to come and pick me up so that we could leave for the airport. Thirty minutes later, someone came knocking on our front door and I instantly knew that it was Adrian because we weren’t expecting anybody else. I got up to unlock the door and saw him standing outside in his handsome glory.I greeted him with a hug and ushered him inside."Hey, good morning." "Morning, beautiful. Did you sleep well?" He asked as he sat on the couch. He seems to have made hi self comfortable here, and doesn't mind what the house looks like."Actually, I didn't. I was so anxious that I kept tossing a
CHAPTER SIXTY NINE**BRIANNA**I got another shock when I set my eyes on the jet. The jet was coated in gold! Gold I tell you! I turned to face Adrian in surprise."Is that real gold?" I asked him dumbly and he laughed."Yes, it's real gold. You don't expect to see me having anything to do with fake gold do you?" He chuckled."Wow, you're really more richer than I thought." I breathed in surprise."Don't think too much about it. Let's go." He said as he intertwined his hand with mine and led me up the steps of the jet.I was more amazed when we were inside the jet. From where I was standing, I could see that it had eights seats, each the size of a single seater couch. And they even have tables in front of them. I feel like a villager right now."Close your mouth before a fly finds it way inside. Your jaw is practically on the floor right now." Adrian joked and I snapped my mouth close in embarrassment."Whatever." I grumbled and sauntered over to one of the seats. I planted my butt o
CHAPTER SEVENTY**BRIANNA**I woke up on a bed a few hours later. I looked out the window to see that we were still flying. The flight from California to Spain takes over eleven hours so it's understandable. Everywhere was dark and my stomach growled, reminding me that the last time I ate was in the morning.I strode to the main area of the jet to find Adrian in his laptop. He must be working. Me eyes raked over his body, stopping at the part where his shirt was unbuttoned and I could see his bare chest with curly hair around it.He must have seen me come in or noticed that I was seriously checking him out because he raised his head and our eyes locked. A playful smirk formed on his face."Checking me out, huh?" He asked playfully. "Don't worry, I'm all yours and I ain't going nowhere."He said that with a wink and my face went hot."I wasn't checking you out." I rolled my eyes."Hoe could one look so hot?" I muttered to myself and went to sit beside him."Huh huh, in sure you weren't
CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE**BRIANNA**"We will be landing in a minute!" The booming voice of the pilot woke me up from my nap. I raised my head from Adrian's shoulder and rubbed my eyes so that I could see clearly. Adrian was also asleep so I tapped him and he woke up."The pilot said that the plane will be landing soon." I muttered to him and he nodded."Flight attendants, prepare for landing please. Passengers, sit tight and buckle your seatbelts, we'll be landing now." The pilot announced once more.A few seconds later, I felt the pressure of the jet moving downwards and I gripped the armrest tightly, just like I did when we were about to take off. Turns out, I was still scared of flying.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to A. C. Private Airport. Local time is 3:26 a.m. and the temperature is warm at 22°C.For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate a
CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO**BRIANNA**"Brianna... Wake up." I felt someone tap me but I snuggled closer to the soft pillow."Five more minutes mom..." I moaned and I heard a deep chuckle that didn't sound like my mother."Wake up, we're running late." I heard again ad the person shook me and I slowly peeled my eyes open. It took a second for me to remember that I wasn't at home and the person that was waking me was not my mom, but Adrian. I also remembered that I was no longer in California but in Madrid, Spain."Good morning, sunshine!" He smiled at me brightly."Good morning!" I said and tried to smile at him, but it came out more like a grimace."Ooh, you're not a morning person." He laughed."I hate mornings." I grumbled."Unfortunately, we have to go. It's almost 11 and the meeting with the investors is by 12. And I know it takes a while for y'all ladies to get dressed." He uttered and I quickly got out of bed."Thanks for waking me up. Let me go take my bath." I said and went towards
