Ariana I woke up feeling totally numb. All the parts of my body felt totally heavy. I could hardly open my eyes. When I had a clear look around me, I realized I am in a hospital. Then I remember all that happened when I was on my way from the interview. The driver was trying to avoid a truck and we ran into a tree. I remember everything until I passed out. I don't know when I got here or how I got here. Mother walks into the room and her eyes dart to me."Oh, sweetie. You are finally awake," I big smile forms on her face as she walks to me."She is," dad's voice sounds from beside me and I realize that he has been sleeping in the chair beside the bed. He looks so tired and his hair is messed up. "Aria, I am glad you are finally awake," mom says while holding my face in her hands."How long have I been here?" I ask, reading the time on the clock which shows Seven o'clock. "Today is the second day," she responds. Oh, that long?"Don't stress about it honey. Let me go and get the doc
LiamTWO MONTHS LATERIt's Saturday Afternoon here in my house. Ah! Our house. Ariana agreed to move in with me after I came up with several reasons as to why it would be better to live alone in her lonely apartment when we can live here together. I have all this space in my house and it feels more like home only when she is around.Looking back a month ago when Ariana was away living with her parents, my life was incomplete. I was restless until I flew over to Arizona to bring her back. It was so hard for me. I completely hopeless at doing a long distance relationship. Taking on the phone felt so emotionless, so... off. I needed the touch, the assurence that Ariana is still mine, that she still loves me.Good thing my plan worked, and she is here, staying with me. There is nothing more satisfying than coming home from work and finding my girl waiting for me, in my collar.Yes, I collared her two weeks into her training. To show everyone that she is mine. I walk into our playroom, in
ONE YEAR LATERArianaLiam and I are hosting this year's thanks giving and we have invited all our closet friends and relatives over. I am so busy in the kitchen with Miss Melinda preparing the food and drinks. Kelly arrived early to help me out to arrange the table and put on the decorations. The turkey is almost done. Liam's grandma stayed the night and she is the one who made it. I trust her cooking skills.After I married Liam, my family has become bigger. Not only my parents,his grandmother but also my friends, his friends. I have met a good number of friends since I met him. Jonas and his wife, Kelly are also party of our family now. Kelly is now six months pregnant.Liam and I have only been married for eight months, and he has made it clear that he is not ready to share me yet. I am so also not ready for a baby either. I still want to build my career and my marriage. I still have a lot of things to look forward to. The baby will come at the right time.The door bell rings."I
ArianaI don't think I can take this anymore. I am starting to feel sickly because of all the alcohol. My body is not used to the liquor but I had made up my mind to get loose tonight and have fun with my friends. Today was our last day of college and we are celebrating but I feel more regretful than excited. Even the Adonis I was stealing glances at decided to leave. What am I doing here? Heather and Julie have already disappeared into thin air. The last time I saw Julie, she was dancing wildly with a blonde hunk. Heather was having shots with a tattooed guy wearing a white t-shirt. Liza and her boyfriend, Mark have already got themselves a room in this hotel and they are probably already in some heavy romance.Here I am, all alone. I feel like an uninvited guest who sneaked into a party of unknown people. I feel sleepy, yet drunk. I can't drive myself home. I came with Liza in Mark's car and now I can't even find them. I don't even think my interference would be welcomed. I am fee
LiamI watch as her pupils dilate and her cheeks flush with embarrassment and then she quickly bends to pick up her black high heels from the floor in front of me. She then holds them in one hand and looks me in the eyes. She bites her lip nervously and I am at a loss of words.When I saw her back in the bar, I was avoiding her, not because she is not pleasant to the eyes but because she makes me feel guilty about the thoughts I get when I see her. She looks so young and delicate, especially the way she is looking at me with those sexy glassy eyes. There is no doubt she is drunk judging by the way she has lost her composure and the clumsy way she is shifting on her feet. Why is she at my door?"Are you lost?" I ask the most obvious question because there is no way she could have followed me up here."Yes! I mean of course. Sorry I know I might sound stupid but I am looking for my friend and I don't know where to begin," she responds with a nervous laugh. She is looking for someone in
ArianaI stretch and turn lazily as sun rays penetrate through the window heating my face. The sun doesn't shine through my window in the morning. It does only in the evening when it is setting. It's weird how some mornings like this make an exception. Or maybe it is already evening! I immediately shut my eyes open and look around my surroundings. This is not my room! Where am I?I try to sit up but the bed is awfully cozy. I would grab a few more minutes of sleep if I knew where I was. My head is still spinning only that the sleep has done some magic on the headache. I feel like a total mess. I got drunk last night and the liquor... the handsome face with dazzling eyes... the getting lost in the hotel corridors... ending up here?All the events of last night begin to add up in my mind and now everything is clear. He let me stay in for the night. The girl's abandoned me for the part night even after knowing the fact that I didn't have a way of getting back to my apartment. I get up
Liam I pull out a chair for her and she sits. I open the dishes and put a plate in front of her. She watches me with a meticulous gaze as I prepare the table."How did you know my name?" she asks me out of the blue."I have my ways," I respond while pulling out a chair for myself."Does it bother you that I know your name?" I ask her."No, not really. I am just surprised," she says and then goes silent. I want her to talk more. The mere thought of her leaving very soon is making me feel uneasy. I don't know why this but I have never felt this, ever! It's a first!"Would you care to explain to me what happened last night? I would like to know how all of this happened," I tell her. She takes in a deep breath and then looks me in the eyes. "I know it may sound really stupid but that was my reality. It was an eye-opener for me. Actually, it was my first time going on a while night out ever since college," she begins her narration. So she is still in college? What a blow-up! I remain q
ArianaI can't believe it is Friday again. I have an afternoon shift at Taste's Home today and I still have one hour to waste. I slump against my couch and stare at my TV screen. I feel so damn bored. Perhaps I should go ahead and ask the manager to let me work full-time at the restaurant.Whenever I am alone like this for some time, my thoughts always run to that man that kept me in his hotel suite when I was insanely drunk after the last day of college. His handsome face has been dominating my dreams ever since that day I drove off in his car from the hotel. His sexy captivating smile always seems to get grinning when I remember him. I know I sound paranoid because of my silly thoughts. That was just a mere chance that I got to meet him and he helped me out when I was in my most helpless state. I don't even think I will ever get a chance to meet him again. Hell! This is a Billionaire we are talking about and the chances of ever seeing him again.How stupid does he think I am? Proba
