Elena’s POV:I landed at the New York airport with the swollen eyes and running nose. I was a mess and people were giving me sympathetic looks. I dragged my bag and made my way out to find Noah standing in the middle with a black cap, shades, shirt, and trousers. He didn’t want paparazzi to catch him at the airport and follow us back home.His striking grey eyes landed on me and he inhaled in shock, looking at the mess I was. I let go of the bag and ran to him, jumping in his open arms. I hugged him and cried silently while he rubbed my back mumbling comforting things in my ear. I didn’t know how long we stayed there like that but made me look at him.“Let’s go home, I want you to tell me everything,” he said.I nodded my head like a little kid and he picked my bag, I followed him to the car. The car ride to his house was quiet; I stared out of my window the whole way, lost in my own thoughts. He pressed the remote and the gates of his house flung open, he parked the car on the drivew
Elena's POV“How about you guys take me out?” I suggested.“Are you sure?” Noah asked.“Yes,” I said.“Aren’t you tired after the long flight?” He asked.“No, I cried and slept all the way here. I want to go out and enjoy the day. So...where are we going?” I asked.“You know I can’t go a lot of places without a security,” he reminded me.“Oh, I forgot, my brother is a celebrity football player,” I said mockingly.“There is this country club where we like to go,” Alyssa suggested.“We can go there,” Noah said looking at me, waiting for my response.“What does one do there?” I asked him uninterested.“There are golf, tennis, bowling, pool, fitness center, and live entertainment. It’s not as boring as it sounds,” he said.“Fine, we will go there. I need to change and freshen up. I’m going to the guest room,” I said getting up from the couch and taking my bag with me.Alyssa changed the decoration of the guest room. It was gorgeous with white chiffon curtains, pearly walls, and a welcomin
Elena’s POV:I stared at Adrian with my mouth dropped open.“I...I don’t know how to say it. You’ve caught me off guard,” I stuttered.Adrian smiled and grasped my shoulder.“Calm down and take a deep breath. I know I shouldn’t have asked you out of the blue,”I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to ease my fanatically beating heart.“Look, you’re a great guy. You’re attractive and you’ve insanely captivating personality but...”“But?” He tilted his head to the side asking me with an amused smile on his face.“But, I’m in love with, Jake,” I choked out.I looked down at my feet in embarrassment, remembering how I just told him a few minutes ago that I broke up with my boyfriend.“Well, I was expecting to hear that,” Adrian said with a playful smile on his face.My eyes darted up to look at the smile plastered on his face.“What?” I asked him in confusion.“Do you know why I asked you out?”“Um... cuz you like me,” I said with a shrug.“I like you a lot but as a friend,”His answer
Elena's POV“Well, I think he is tripping. You don’t send woman flowers and switch off your phone. That doesn’t happen in romance books that I read,” she said with a frown.“So, what happens in the romance books that you read?” I asked amused.“Ah... The guy sends flower and appears at her doorstep, demanding to talk to her then he explains everything and they make up,” she told enthusiastically.“Do they make love?” I asked confused.“Yes...” She leans closer to my ear to whisper. “Hot make up sex.”I glanced at her with wide eyes. Alyssa’s face was as red as a tomato.“What kind of books have you been reading, Alyssa?” I asked her.“There is this app...”Suddenly she went quiet and cleared her throat, staring at the doorway.“I think it happens in real life, too.” She mumbled.I followed her gaze to find Jake standing at the door. He looked like he hadn’t slept a wink; his jaw was dusted with stubble and his clothes appeared creased. His brown soft hair was ruffled on his head and h
Elena's POV He cupped my face with one hand and with his other hand he pulled me roughly against his firm chest. Then he brushed his lips over mine when I didn’t pull away he finally kissed me. I parted my lips to allow him to dive his tongue, he explored my mouth kissing me like a starved man. I was breathless within seconds as he moved us towards the couch. We parted away to take a breath. I shoved him on the couch and climbed on him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer to mine. I took his bottom lip between my teeth, nibbling on it while he held my waist. Finally, I pressed my lips on his, feverishly kissing him. It felt like he was my antidote of the pain. He responded to my kiss passionately by pulling me closer, I felt his arousal stabbing me and I clenched my leg around his waist. Jake groaned when I started to move creating a gratifying friction between us. Jake deepened the kiss; his mouth was generating hot lava of passion in my belly which was d
Elena's POV“Umm, we can order some pizza and stay in bed. I really don’t feel like dressing up. Besides, I don’t have any clothes here,” I told him.He pulled out a huge box from the closet, it was tied with a dark blue ribbon, and he shoved it into my hands.“What’s this?” I asked inspecting the box from outside.“It has everything that you need to get dress and go out with me,” he said with a grin on his face.“So someone came prepared,”“You can say that,”He pulled out a navy blue color suit.“Don’t tell me that you are going to wear a suit? We are not going to the wedding, are we?”“We need to leave soon so you better get dressed in time.” He said pinching my nose and leaving the room with his suit.I looked at the heavy box in my hand and placed it on the bed then untied the ribbon. When I lifted the lid I gasped in shock, there was sitting a baby blue color dress that looked like it came out from some Cinderella’s movie with a pair of crystal heels and a makeup bag. I pulled o
Elena's POV“Elena Edwards, will you do me an immense honor of becoming my wife?”“Jake? Is this true? Are you sure?” I asked him in my shaking voice.“I’ve never been this sure for anything in my life before,” he answered.I stretched my trembling hand forward, chanting yes. He didn’t waste a single second in slipping the ring onto my finger and wrapping his arms around my waist.“You have made me the luckiest man on this earth tonight,” he said.I cupped his face and pressed my lips on his, kissing him passionately. His hand was resting on my waist while his other hand was in my hair, pulling my head closer to deepen the kiss.Our kiss was sloppy, fanatical, not perfect, but the passion we were feeling was beyond any fairytale description. It felt like we couldn’t get enough of each other.Suddenly, someone yanked me away from him. I looked at the intruder to see furious Brandon glaring at us.I was confused, shocked, and angry at the same time. Jake grinned, looking at my brother n
Elena's POV “I promise if I’ll find another pregnancy test in your room then I would throw a baby shower for you.” He draped his arm over my shoulder dragging me towards our parents and Jake. “She has forgiven me,” Eric announced. Dad glared at him and mom raised her eyebrows at us. I nodded my head to let them know he was right. “But Eric you’re still under the radar,” Brandon said with the smirk. “So...I am off the hook. Right?” Eric asked. “You’re still going to work with Chris in his firm for two months on your break. This is your punishment for not coming to your parents first. We have done our best to teach you all some discipline but you still disappointed us that night. Doing a job in the law firm will teach you how to obey rules.” Dad declared. Eric’s face dropped. “You know I am sorry for what I’ve done,” Eric said making a puppy face. “We know, dear. But you still need to do this. You’ll work with Chris before your next semester starts.” Mom said. “Okay, okay. I’
