Mrs. Jones knew the name Andy would steer her. And it did work. Her blushing cheeks and her widened eyes were the evidence. But then her eyes falter at the mocking of fate. She knew what she was going to say would surely break the little girl's heart. And it was the last thing she wanted.
Lara controlled her frantic heartbeat and looked at Mrs. Jones. She got up from her seat and went near her before engulfing her in a hug. The woman in front of her was like her mother. She always helped her and cared for her like her own mother..
"Where did you and Andy bro lose? I couldn't find you both after high school."
Lara complained with a pout on her lips. She had missed her and more than that she missed the guy who was gone after capturing her heart.
Lara was in love with her senior and her teacher aka Mrs. Jones only son, Andrew Jones. She doesn't remember his name that much as she alwa
Valentina slept like a baby throughout the whole plane journey. But sleep was nowhere near Xavier. He kept on looking at her face and took into every small detail of her face. His finger never stopped from caressing her cheeks and twirling her hair strand. He even went crazy to smell her scent. It is so enchanting and mesmerizing. Valentina snuggled more into his chest making him smile. Xavier tightened his hold around her waist and buried his face in the crook of her neck. Heaven!! °Valentina's POV° I slowly opened my eyes and was astonished when I saw myself on a soft comfy bed. My jaw dropped down as I looked around the room. It is flawlessly beautiful and aesthetic. The curtains hang around the round bed, the light brown tables with scented candles placed on them. The handmade carpet that took one fourth of the floor. I placed my feet on the cold tiles and felt a s
°Xavier's POV° She is the one I have always been waiting for. My little angel, my little doll. The one who accepted my shortcomings. Loved my insecurities, made me feel happy about myself. How the hell I couldn't recognize her? She was in front of me all the time. How I didn't recognize the soft touch of her lips against my lips? °Flashback° "Sir, these are the bags!!" The bodyguard didn't enter the room seeing my slide glare. I placed Valentina down on the bed and covered her with the duvet. I kissed on her forehead and patted her hair before looking at the bodyguard, nodding at him to come inside. Along with him, two more bodyguards came in with our luggage and bags. Valentina's backpack fell down from their hand making me squint my eyes at him. He can't even take care of a simple bag!! I took the bag and dust
Xavier couldn't muster up the courage to go inside their suite. He felt like a teenage boy who was going to see his crush for the first time. After the revelation, Xavier felt more protective of Valentina. The thought of her being in danger because of her father didn't leave his mind for a second. A faint smile came upon his lips thinking of their first meet. No, not at the marriage altar. The very first time when two insecure people met each other just to feel like two normal people. °Flashback° 19 years old Xavier sat down on the bench outside his campus. The garden area was beautiful to such an extent that he never wanted to leave that place. He felt like weak people like him belong here. He felt pathetic. Even though he was 19 years old, he acted like a baby and a coward. "Aah!!" He winced in pain while raising his hand. He forgot that he was beaten just an h
It took a while to calm down Xavier. Valentina noticed one thing whenever he is triggered by his phobia, he murmurs a few words like ,'leave me' and many more. Valentina was now more determined to dig out his past. Valentina sighed as Xavier slept while hugging her waist and snuggling his face on her chest. Valentina didn't have any other options than running her hands in his hair. Xavier jerked up his face from her chest as her stomach growled due to hunger. "Sorry!" Xavier whispered huskily before pecking her lips and getting up. He wasn't in a mood to go outside after the incident so he decided to have their breakfast in the room itself. Before he could make a call, Valentina tugged on his shirt, "Can we have our breakfast outside?" Valentina asked softly with a smile. She thought maybe some fresh air would freshen up hi
° Xavier POV ° I stood up from the bed after I was assured she was asleep. I didn't want to encounter any of her questions before I'm ready. I went towards the balcony and leaned onto the railing. I fished out a cigarette packet from my pocket and lit one. I usually don't smoke unless I'm stressed. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out just to find the old man to call me. With a frown plastered on my face, I answered the call. "Did you both reach safely?" My frown increased more at his concern. I thought he would have his men tagged along with us. "I'll surely not send my man on my grandson's honeymoon." The word grandson felt so good from his mouth after such a long time. Covering my shock state, I decided to ask him the questions I had swimming in my mind, "You knew about Valentina!" &
Xavier was aware of the fact that they can't consummate their marriage now. Even though the attraction between them said something else. Xavier better knew to control before he did something with the flow.Xavier wanted to make every day of the honeymoon a memorable day for Valentina. He wants to make different new memories with Valentina. New memories of their new life. He decided to do something different for her today.A big fat smile graced his lips as an idea struck his mind. He immediately took upon the work. He decided to make the arrangements all by himself instead of taking help.After a whole hard work of 4 hours, Xavier was finally done with his night plans. He was about to leave for the hotel when something caught his eyes. Specifically two small kids. The boy being the eldest and the girl being the younger one. They both were having ice cream while the boy looked at the little girl with hap
Valentina sequaled in surprise when Xavier tied a white cloth around her eyes. "Let's go," Xavier whispered in her ears, while lowering himself. He stealthily placed a kiss just below her ear that made her shudder. Xavier bent down and picked her up in his arms in bridal style. It took them 20 minutes to reach the place. Valentina was shocked at how for straight 20 minutes, he carried her in his arms. She steadied herself when Xavier placed her feet down on the ground. He went behind her and opened the tied cloth slowly doubling her curiosity. The moment Valentina opened her eyes, her mouth hung open and jaw fell down at the decorations in front of her. Her eyes started filling up with tears and she turned back, hugged Xavier in nanoseconds. Xavier hid his face in the crook of her and smiled against her skin, "Did you like it?"
Xavier and Valentina were busy busking in each other's arms after having their dinner. Xavier couldn't keep his hands away from Valentina as he held her close to his heart and kept on kissing her forehead. Their sweet moment broke when the sound of a phone call erupted in the comfortable silent room. Xavier groaned and picked up the phone. He looked down and Valentina half asleep. He silently went out of the bed to the balcony. "Speak!!" Xavier said to the other side and heard a sharp intake of breath, "You need to come back!!" "Why?" Xavier asked calmly. He knew something was brewing up. His gut feeling said so. Lan exhaled his stuck breath hearing Xavier's calm voice, "Last month, we had signed a contract with a male model and was supposed to work from next month. But now the model
