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

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

AVATIA'S POVSo two weeks had already passed since I came back. Of course, I told Kenny and Draya everything that happened. Even about the kisses. I trusted them enough not to blabber about it somewhere. It was my biggest secret and I knew they'd respect it.With everything that had happened, mom didn't want me to stay away from her. She was bent on making me go to college from the house. She didn't even want us to live in New York any more. She had insisted we traveled back to Ohio. But I'd begged her. I'd told her that there was nothing to worry about since Dreidan Vaughn was now my past and the man who kidnapped her was dead. I'd begged her till she accepted. So presently, Draya and I were unpacking all my boxes and arranging it neatly in the dor

DREIDAN'SPOV"Cossì cazzo." (you're so fucked up.) I spat out as I kicked Naziz on his stomach. He coughed out blood. "You're so incompetent. How could you let the police trace you. Do you fucking know how much I spent purchasing those machine guns? Have any fucking idea, punk ass?"I couldn't believe this. I knew that it was a bad idea for Roberto to entrust Naziz, who he thought was smart, to transport the guns I'd bought from the German black market. I don't even know how the cops managed to trace our transportation route, and arrested some of my men, taking my guns with them. Fuck it. I knew the men wouldn't blurt out anything about me, but I had to get them out of prison before tomorrow cause the press would start fishing for news.I turned to Roberto. "Get the men out of prison tonight." It was going to be an easy task since we had some of our men working for the law. I

AVATIA'S POVOh my God, am I going to loose my virginity today? I don't think I'm prepared, but he says he's not willing to letme go. What do I do?I feel his lips on my neck and he bites it a little make me moan without thinking. Goodness, the things he makes me feel. But I have to stop him because I don't think I'm ready. Call me old school or a prude but I believe in romance. I need to be sure he loves me just as much as I love him. I want my first time to be really romantic, like we start with a candlelight dinner, then we dance, go to a dimly lit, rose scented room with roses all over....you know what I mean? The kind of first sex every girl wants, not just sex because he wants it and definitely not friends with benef
