"So, where are we headed to?" Aviana asked as soon as Ethan climbed in the car, while she continued to buckle up the seat belt."Wherever you wanna go, baby," came his simple reply, not forgetting to give her a brief smile. Aviana was taken a back by the word 'baby' The way it sounded when he said it, felt so good. She couldn't help smiling as she gazed at him, her eyes filled with love and affection for this man who sat beside her. After a while of staring at his gorgeous face, Aviana sighed deeply before she replied back, "Well, how about we try the amusement park, first?""What! Are you a kid? The park is only meant for kids?" he teased her."Well....I'm my mother's child!" she blurted out, finding no other words to refute him. He laughed. Then, he started the engine and drove off. From a far, a black car was parked at the other side of the road. The car waited for a few seconds until Ethan's car had driven for quite a distance before the driver took off, following behind their car
Avi instantly turned to look at the man who made her lose the game as she glared at him, the word "seriously" written all over her face. She was extremely furious. The game had just began and she already lost? Because, he just couldn't control his strength? Ethan, on the other hand, glared back at her, oblivious of the daggers that were being thrown at him. Then, he walked past her as he casually placed his hands in his pocket."Now, it's my turn to play," he said, in the midst of rolling up the sleeves of his shirt ready to start with the game. Avi sighed helplessly. 'Why did he seem like he made me lose the game on purpose? Well, if that's the case, then I would make him have a taste of his own medicine. There's no way I'm gonna let him off just like that!' she thought, now, making up her mind to make him lose just like he'd done to her. With that, she walked up to him and said,"Honey, how about I spin it for you. Earlier, you mentioned that you've never played this game before. It
Ethan turned around to face the woman. He didn't look surprised at all. After all, she had wanted to get back at him for making her lose, earlier. Even after knowing that had been her intention or rather, her prayer, if that was even the best word to describe everything, he still questioned, a deep frown settling on his face, and pretended to be surprised. "Why do I feel like your intentions were to make me lose rather than win? Baby, did you want me to lose?" Hearing his words, Aviana who had been excitedly jumping up and down, halted mid-way, snapping out of her excitement. She was quick to cover up her excitement and wore a different expression, that of a person who was hurt by his sudden accusations. And truth be told, she really was good at it, because right now, if Ethan hadn't masked out her true intentions, he too would fall victim of her petty tactics. One would think she had taken a back up course in acting. "Of course not, babe? Why would you even say that? Didn't I warn,
"So, where do you wanna go next, baby," Ethan asked, while he shoved his hands inside the pockets of his Jean. "Actually, I want to keep playing the game. It's not in my nature to lose a game and walk away without giving it a second or third try......until I win," she said, shrugging off her shoulders before she walked away. Ethan felt the same, it seemed they possessed similar characteristics. Wasn't this the heaven's way of telling them, they were truly meant for each other? Ethan couldn't help feeling so proud of himself for falling in love with her. They both played the game for the second, third, fourth time and they lost every time. Unlike Ethan who was either loosening his tie or pulling his sleeves as he played his ever frustrating game, one would actually think he was preparing himself for a dead or alive battle, given the look on his face at the moment, Aviana only cried out in frustration, "Ugh!! That was close!!" When it was Ethan's turn to play, Aviana turned all her att
The couple immediately left the haunted house and went to their next destination. As soon as they had left, the man who had been tailing them suddenly appeared from his hiding place. He looked at their disappearing silhouettes for a while before he continued to tail their back without their knowledge. On their way, Ethan happened to come across an old man who was selling flowers. An idea popped in his mind as he smiled in satisfaction."Baby, go ahead. I'll be with you shortly," he turned to Aviana and informed her. Aviana didn't know what he was upto. She nodded slightly before she walked away. Ethan walked back to the old man who was selling the flowers. The Oldman wore tatty clothes that seemed to have been repaired severally. His hair was gunmetal-Grey. His eyes were blood-flecked because of his old age. But, they were a sparkling, blue color and he seemed to see everything. "Hey mister. What type of flowers would you like to buy?" the old man asked him, when he approached. He ha
"Are you okay? Do you feel sick?" Aviana asked, worried. Then, she raised her arm and placed the palm of her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.She frowned.His temperature was definitely normal? "Honey, I'm fine. I do not feel sick at all," Ethan simply said, while he smiled at her."Are you sure? Then, why are you sweating?" she pried."I guess....."he paused for a moment as he tried to look for to find a better reason to tell her.He continued, "Because, the sun is too hot. Don't you feel it?" he lifted his shirt up and tried to blow air into his body, pretending to feel hot for real. However, Aviana wasn't buying it at all."I don't buy it! The sun isn't that hot to make anyone sweat!" she frowned while she spoke. The next moment, as if she thought of something, that could be the reason why he was sweating so profusely, she moved closer to him. Her eyes on him didn't falter even for a moment as she asked doubtfully,"Ethan, ar-are you afraid of heights?" She had notic
Ethan walked behind her while he smiled proudly. He took out his phone secretly, and typed a message before he pressed on the send button. At that moment, a deafening bang reached their ears as fireworks exploded and scattered thousands of tiny sparks into the sky. Aviana instantly looked up to the sky. The impressive display of the fireworks made her Jaws drop. Immediately after, the words, 'I LOVE YOU AVIANA,' were clearly visible on the sky. She was speechless. Infact, speechless was an understated way. She knew, it had to be definitely Ethan's doing. What had she done to deserve such a man like himself? It turned out, the accident that happened to Hayden in someway, happened for a good course. A good course like them meeting each other and being together?Tears welled up in her eyes. They were tears of joy, though. Had she ever been happier in her life? She turned to face him. Looking at the man who stood in front of her, his smiling face was just an out of this world type o
On the following day, which was on a Monday morning, Aviana woke up to the alarm snoozing. It was around seven o'clock in the morning. A yawn escaped her mouth as she sat up straight on the bed, picked her phone from under the pillow and turned it off. Then, she climbed off the bed as her feet stepped on the tiled floor. She wore her slippers which were arranged on the side of the bed and walked straight to the bathroom. She carried out her usual morning routine from washing her face, brushing her teeth, taking a bath.It took her a whole thirty minutes and she were done with everything. She walked out of her room and headed downstairs. Hayden was already dressed up in his uniform and was sitting at the table having his breakfast. Her mother was also around. She took her place at the table and ate her breakfast heartily. Soon, she was done and was ready to leave for work. "Mother, I'll take Hayden to school, today," Aviana said to her mother, who was approaching them from the kitchen
