Aniston's POV Ari laughed this time around. By the look on his face, it was like he was trying to picture it."Tell me she inherited my wit and charm" he insisted."Wit and charm…no, she did not. Danny is smart, intelligent and a CEO by the age of fourteen. She grunts and she is willful, sounds like someone we know?""Oh my God, we gave birth to a female version of Alpha Ryan that also has her Mama's attitude? God help us!" The way Ari shook his head, made me suppress a snicker which made me spit out some coffee."Sorry"He handed a napkin to me and I took it."Thanks. She's your favorite though…you called Princessa affectionately. Her brother inherited your charm and wit though. A ten year old named AJ"Ari dropped the cup he was holding and looked at me."Tell me we didn't name our son, Andrew" he asked with a serious face.I took a minute to look at him and just like that I started missing the life I dreamt of, where someone like him loved me unconditionally."No…AJ actually mean
Ari's POVAfter I watched Aniston leave, I realized I wasn't going to sleep…I was too excited to just go to bed and sleep.I opened the door and stepped out into the balcony, smiling at intervals like a buffoon. I stared at the trees behind my house but I couldn't stop thinking about Aniston.It was beginning to puzzle me.It puzzled me more than I let on. I do not understand why all of a sudden every waking thought was about a girl I could barely stand. A girl with a fractured mind.It didn't make any sense to me. I imagined her lips several times. I imagined I was running my finger down her lips, I blinked twice when my mind started to wander to other parts of her exotic body.Get it together! It was only a kiss but I can't remember the last time I was this excited about something…Aniston made me excited and not only in the way you think, you perv!She made me excited in other areas of my life, she made me feel like I could take on the world and win.I took a deep breath and tried
Aniston's POV This morning I woke up feeling refreshed.I smiled any chance I got. I snuck into Stormi's room because I felt the need to tell him in detail about last night.When I got to his room, he was still undercover snoring softly like a pregnant snow bear.I took off my slippers and climbed on top of his bed and started jumping and yelling "Wakie Wakie! Stormi, it's morning!"As a reply, he pushed me off his bed and I landed on the floor on my butt. I don't think he is a morning person.I went around and pulled the blanket off his body but he curled up in a fetal position and kept sleeping. He was in his gray boxer. Storm was practically naked from waist up, a lesser girl would drool but I didn't.I got the matured and older version of Stormi last night."Storm! It's morning, wake up!"I grabbed his left leg and started pulling him out of bed. He fell on the rug beside the bed, he only groaned and cursed inwardly but his eyes remained close.I sat on top of him and peeped clos
Ari's POV I stared out my window fully dressed in my corporate outfit. My hands were gently tucked away in both my pockets and even though I was staring at the swimming pool outside my window, I was barely seeing it. My mind was entirely on the errand I needed to run this morning.There was a knock on the door and it jolted me back to reality.I turned around and straightened my tie. It was probably one of the domestic staff coming to tell me that breakfast was ready or Cephas bringing in a cup of coffee.I looked around and nothing was out of place. My bed was made and my space was clean enough if I ignored the stack of papers on the table by the window."Come in"The door opened and my little brother walked in with wet hair."Hey, bro. Come to punch me again" I asked him."You are not going to let that go, are you?" Storm asked me and came closer."Nope! I plan to throw it in your face and milk it to my advantage one day, little dude. It's 7am and you are awake…why?" Everyone know
Aniston's POV I stepped down from the cab and made my way into the restaurant. I was over forty minutes late and I was in a hurry to meet my date. Who knew running worst case scenarios about this date could be so time consuming?I even imagined a scenario where we were interrupted by a hungry tiger!What the hell is wrong with me? What will a hungry tiger be doing in 5th and Abbey road in a freaking city!Then I had to find an outfit that wasn't too flashy but not too dull for a perfect dinner in a high end restaurant, a dress that wasn't slimming or make me look fat, a dress that says I am down for anything but I am not a slut. A dress that made me look exquisite yet down to earth.I know, it was too much expectation to put on a dress and Storm told me so himself after I forced him to watch as I changed one dress after the other till I found the one I was wearing. I wonder what he would say if I told him that my mystery date was with his brother.I shudder to think about it.I step
Aniston's POV "I really wished you wouldn't be so nice after I made you wait in this beautiful restaurant close to an hour" I touched his hand as I spoke."Ani, it's okay. Moreover, I got to meet Dan the waiter, Emma and June too. It seems sitting alone in a couple's restaurant makes waiters and waitresses want to talk to you every five minutes. It's really fun" "Sorry, Ari"A waitress dressed smartly in a black and white outfit made her way to our table with a notepad and a pen. She had a pleasant smile on her face."Don't worry, Emma. We are ready to place our orders now" Ari said with a smile before the girl could speak."Of course, Sir. Ready when you are" Ari handed the menu over to me to make my choice. The menu might as well be written in french."Give me number 8""What about you, sir?" Ari placed his order but he never took his eyes off me. "Do I have something on my face?" I asked and searched my face with her palm.He smiled softly."Is something stuck in between my t
Ari's POV "Oh my God!"I screamed like a jackass as my laughter echoed.In hindsight, I should have been more sensitive to her feelings but this was Aniston, she was neither fragile or the touchy feely type or so, i thought until she spoke to me."Please, stop the car" she pleaded with me.I turned and looked at her, her face a gentle mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.It made me dial back my amusement.How am I supposed to enjoy this revelation if she was looking like that?I looked at her, my face adapting a sympathetic look like I should have from the very beginning.I thought of reaching out and squeezing her hand…just the littlest gesture to say she had nothing to be embarrassed about but I couldn't.I don't know why I couldn't.I certainly thought of it, even imagined myself doing it so vividly in my head but in real life…nothing. I decided to mask my inability to comfort her with more taunting. I can tell you with certainty that it's not a good idea."Oh, come on Sweeth
Aniston's POV I have always hated the feeling of embarrassment, it's like a warm blanket that descends on me and it makes looking people straight in the eyes downright impossible.I looked at Ari briefly. He was really handsome and breathtaking…and it confused me because a few days ago he was my mortal enemy and he wanted nothing to do with me, a few days ago he was trying to get his father to push me out of Bayblue citing reasons like I wasn't good enough, a few days ago everything made sense but now it doesn't.Now, the world was upside down with no warning at all and… now the wealthiest man I know was sitting beside me on a dirty floor by the side of the road. It was like a dream come true or maybe I was just dreaming. What if all of this was a giant dream and in reality, Ari chose someone else and he was ashamed to be seen with me and the last few hours was my brain's desperate effort to protect me from the pain by displaying a perfect world where we were together.Maybe I fell
