Evan's POV
Brae stood there in a satin pink dress that was hugging every curve on her body. Her hair was pushed back behind her shoulder, exposing her long slender neck and her defined beauty bones. My eyes moved up to her full pink lips, causing me to painfully gulp. My eyes got fixed on her eyes. They had that mesmerizing effect on me, leaving me feeling dazed. After a long minute I averted my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my erratic breathing.
Before I could speak, she pushed a balloon with a frown and a sorry message on it in my face.
"Brae-" She cut me off.
"No, I will speak and you will listen to me." I knew she would apologize and I had already forgiven her. I wanted to tell her that.
"But-" Again I was cut off.
"Shut up." She glared at me, causing me to raise my hands in surrender. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath
Braelyn's POVI groaned in sleep as I felt a tickle in my ear and then swatted the hand away but it didn't go. I turned to my side hoping to get some more sleep but the fingers went to tickle everywhere causing me to burst out in laughter."Okay - okay , st-stop! I'm up!" I finally turned on my back and that's when the movements stopped. I peeled my eyes open and was met with his gorgeous blue ones. The white bed sheets were covering till his waist while his naked upper body was raised by the support of his arms. He was looking down at me, flashing one his bright smile at me."Good morning.""Good morning. How long since you're up?" I yawned sitting up."Two hours maybe." He replied, twirling some strands of my hair between his fingers."You must be hungry." I don't know why a sudden and somewhat mischievous smile fell upon his lips.
Braelyn's POVI was in his bed cuddled up with him with my face pressed against his chest. The white sheet had us draped up while I was mindlessly drawing patterns on his chest with my fingers. I couldn't lie that his frequent kisses on my hair didn't make me feel all mushy."Are you gonna tell me what you are going to do about her?" I heard him sigh."I'm buying her company." He said after a small pause."What?" I looked up at his face."I mean, she won't make it easy for you." He let out a small chuckle."She won't be having much of a choice either." There was something smug about the way he said it. I furrowed my eyebrows, asking him for an explanation."Suppose two of the shareholders at her company decide to sell their shares. Guess what happens." I tried and ignored his warm hand that was unconsciously rubbing my
Evan's POV"Evan!" I closed the file on hearing her voice. Just the person I was expecting."Kate. You made it." I forced a fake smile on my face to greet her. She gave me a 'are-you-serious' look before pulling the chair and taking a seat."Of course I did. You called and I had to. Besides, it's not like I am living in some other state." I let out a small chuckle."So nice of you." Obviously she didn't get the sarcasm behind my praise."That requires you taking me to lunch. What about we go to-" She was cut off by a knock at the door."Come in." A small smile fell on my lips on seeing Brae at the door. She looked between us before instinctively taking a step in.
Braelyn's POVOne second I was glancing at my watch and the next second I was pressed against the door. I didn't even realise when the door opened and when Evan had pulled me in."God, I missed you!" He muttered once we broke the kiss."Dramatic puppy!" I chuckled. He pulled away to take a proper look at my face and playfully smirked at me."What did you just call me?" The grin on my face stretched wider when he picked me up and carried me to his sofa. He sat down with me straddling him. I bent forward before attaching my lips to his.I had missed this so much. Being so close to him, kissing him, cuddling with him. I could really melt at the amount of love I could see in his eyes as I stared at me."When are you moving in?" I shrugged at his question, loving the feeling of his hand weaving through my hair."Bri was asking the same thing. I think by the end of this week, I can move in." I had expected hi
Braelyn's POV"Excuse me." The receptionist looked up at me."How may I help you?" The tone she used told me that she was plain and simple bored with her job and the last thing she wanted was to be friendly."I am here for an interview for the job of the public relations head." I offered a small smile hoping to encourage her. Recognition flashed through her eyes."Ms. Taylor?" I furrowed my brows confused as to how she knew my name."Uhm, yes." I muttered."Give me a second, please." I nodded as she picked up the phone and spoke to someone. I took my time to look around."Mr. Price wishes to see you in his office." Her voice brought my a
Evan's POVAfter finishing the call, I drank another half a glass of water before heading towards the bedroom. Pushing open the door, I entered the dimly lit room. I could make out Brae's figure lying on the other side of the bed.There was no movement as I slipped in beside her but her unsteady breath and stiff posture gave out that she wasn't sleeping. I put a hand around her waist, mentally preparing myself for when she would push it away but she didn't."I know you are awake." I whispered before placing a soft kiss behind her ear. Though I couldn't exactly tell what fragrance her hair smelled of, it was a sweet smell that was hitting my nostrils."I'm sorry." Still nothing but the small inhale confirmed that she was listening."Honestly, I am still not convinced that it was completely wrong but I should have respected your decision." I sighed before continuing."I knew you wouldn't have been impressed
Braelyn's POV"Do we have a deal?" I looked back at Victoria's face."No. I'm not leaving him." She looked taken aback by my answer like she was sure I would jump at the chance. It took her a few seconds to respond."Why? Because he has now got more money than all of your previous conquests?" She spat the question out harshly."You don't know the whole thing. Let me tell you-" I was cut off again."Whatever I know is enough to understand what kind of a person you are. I don't need to hear anything from you." I could feel my jaws getting tense. Yes, I accept that the situation we were in was partly my fault but everyone has a patience limit."Fine."
Braelyn's POV"We are going to the beach?" I half questioned once I saw the direction the car was headed in. Besides, wearing casual and all just makes all the more sense."Yep." He glanced at me once. Beach had always been my favourite and he remembered it."I can totally kiss you right now." I blurted out with an excited grin."Mmm sounds tempting. Should I pull the car over?" Though his voice was playful I didn't for a second doubt that he could actually do it."No. Drive." He chuckled at my instant answer.…………………..."No way!" I muttered once I looked in front, completely stopping in my steps. Bri and Ryan were there but the surprising part was that all our highschool friends were standing there in person."Happy Birthday, Brae!" They all shouted in unison."Oh my God! Thank you!" I felt like I could literally burst out of excitemen
