AVATIA'S POV
Have you ever seen someone in so much pain that it causes you to be in pain too? Have you ever seen the strongest person you know, break down right before you? Have you ever seen someone become so vulnerable that it breaks your own heart?
Looking at my boss shed tears in front of me triggered my own emotions and I soon found myself crying too. I didn't know how to console him cause I've never been in such a situation.
"Avatia she was the only friend I had back in New York. She made me do things I wasn't used to doing. She made me pray, she made me go to orphanages, she made me eat food from moving trucks, she taught me to see the good in people. She did all these without even knowing who I truly was." He said as he wiped his eyes and ran his fingers over the beautiful portrait. "I really don't know how it happened but I found myself feeling strange things for her. I did
AVATIA'S POVButterflies fluttered at the pit of my belly. It was like the fireworks on the fourth of July! In fact, scratch that. The feeling of his lips on mine was just indescribable. I was in a state of elated bliss. At first, I thought it was my mind playing tricks until he gently pulled on my lower lip. The feel of his soft, warm lips as they worked on mine sent sweet shivers down my spine and a new feeling in between my legs. I don't know how or when it happened but I felt his tongue fighting for dominance in my mouth. This is so wrong, my mind was screaming, but I couldn't pull back because it felt so right and even if it was wrong, I just still couldn't bare to pull back. It was like he'd cast a spell on me. His lips and tongue worked magic on mine, almost like he was making love to my mouth. Ahhh. Mmhmm.Stop Avatia, remember he said he hopes its not his heart doing the thinki
AVATIA'S POVAna could barely contain her excitement. She was doing her happy dance while cooking. I laughed at her cuteness. I told her that during her absence, Mr. Black and I decided to become friends. I told her everything, except for the kissing part, of course."Really, he said you guys could be friends? Unbelievable." She said and giggled like a little girl. I understood perfectly why she was acting that way. Our boss was always so reserved and was the most anti-social person I've met in my entire life.I nodded. "You better believe it girl. As a matter of fact, we're going out today. We'll just go round the city for a start. I have no place in mind yet, but one thing's for sure, he has got to take me round Italy throughout this week. That said, I should hurry off and go prepare for my outing with my super hot boss." I said and we both burst out laughing. Wherever I was gett
AVATIA'S POVI pulled back and looked away from him, clearing my throat in the process. "Uhhh..." I started awkwardly."Strawberry mixed with Vanilla is now my new favourite flavour." I heard his deep husky voice.I turned back, facing him. I knew my cheeks were so red. "Huh?""You heard me. Aside from the fact that it taste so good on its own, it taste even better on you." He said, a sly smile playing on his lips.My eyes widened, my mouth hung open and I blushed even harder. "Huh?"He chuckled and raised his hands in surrender. "In my defence, I didn't kiss you, I just licked the corner of your talkative mouth. I never knew it could render you speechless. I'm glad I discovered that. Now, if you keep talking so much, like you always do, I'd lick you." He said playfully and winked.I hurriedly stood up and walked over to a little boy with so many car toy
AVATIA'S POVI never knew I could be this happy and forget about all my problems for a while but I did. Mr. Black and I strolled round the park, talking about random things and all till we were the only ones left. "We should get going sir."He frowned. "Avatia don't call me that anymore. Call me Dreidan or Dre. " I sent him an apologetic smile. "Sorry. I bet Ana is gone already."He nodded.I took it as my cue to ask about his relationship with Ana. Their relationship seemed to be more than the usual boss-employee type. "By the way, you seem close to Ana, like she's more than just your cook and cleaner."He held my fingers and entwined it with his as we walked to his bike. "She's more than that. Her elder sister was Nevaeh's best friend."Ohhh. No wonder. I stay
AVATIA'S POVIt was past ten in the morning and despite the fact that Ana was keeping me company and we were talking about Italian dishes, I couldn't stop myself from wondering where he was. His breakfast was going to get cold."Hello, earth to Ava. What's up with you girl? You look worried."Was it that obvious? I scratched my forehead and smiled nervously. "Why isn't he down for breakfast yet?"Ana's lips formed an 'o'. "You know, that actually crossed my mind. Why don't you go and check on him." She suggested and I blushed. Know why? Cause I'm going to be the first person he's going to see today.I nodded and walked away. Is he still asleep? Maybe he spoke with Jade all night and is exhausted now. I frowned at the thought.When I reached his door, my heartbeat increased. I raised my hands and knocked three times. No response. Might be deep asleep. I knocked
AVATIA'S POVEven though I felt bad that we didn't paint as planned, I knew it was for the better. Ana and I sat watching the last episodes of 'awkward' when I felt his presence on the sofa next to the one I was sitting on."Don't you get tired of watching this shit, Analise?" He asked in a bored tone.Ana playfully shot him with a pillow. "Shut up, what do you know? I'm not like you who enjoys watching National Geographic channels."That peeked my interest. There was a lot that I didn't know about this guy. "You love plants and animals?."Ana rolled her eyes. "The dude is obsessed with that tv channel. Can you imagine? How boring?"Dre shot her back with the pillow. "Keep trying me and see what I'd do to you some day." He said, amusement lingering in his voice. This was a new beginning. I was not completely used to this playful side of Dre.Ana studied
Writer's POVWhile Avatia sat reminiscing the kiss, her best friend, all the way in New York city was having an interesting conversation with her. Or so did Draya think."I miss you so much girl, I can't wait for you to get back from Ohio. Our dorm room feels so empty without you." Draya pressed the send button and a reply came in no time."Don't worry Dray, I'll be back on Sunday evening. I bought you so many things." The person who had Avatia's phone replied.Draya smiled as she grabbed more chocolate chips and stuffed it in her mouth. "Of course, were you even planning on flying back here empty handed? Don't even think or I'll send you back. I really feel bad that we can't have our FaceTime session. You better change your phone before coming back."And as always,
AVATIA'S POV.I sat at my own corner of the jet, watching my boss, no,ex boss, counting money and arranging it neatly in a brief case. What in the world is he doing with that amount of money? It was nothing less than ten million, I presume. Because the money had already filled another brief case to the brim. It's kinda shocking how wealthy he is, and to think he didn't complete his education.His phone rang and he picked it up. His conversation wasn't in English, neither was it in Italian. It sounded like Russian. He kept stealing glances at me and it made me feel uncomfortable. I just hated it when people looked at me like that.To distract myself, I looked at the clouds. What should I expect when I get home? Will Dre and I still be in contact? I already know I wouldn't be working for him again cause mom will never let me leave her side. Heck, she'll freak out. Where's she now? Wh
