"And I cannot marry such a woman and have her under my proof because I know I'll be in constant fear and I do not want that for myself. So Aria, while you stay under roof, I will care for and not have anything to do with her nor any other woman."The words made Aria explode with something sweet so she looked away so he'd be unable to catch what he felt inside from her eyes. She stared at him now, wanting to ask about the pictures but he's definitely going to go ask her how she found them and she'd not respond to him but that will make him know she had someone that was following him and that was creepy. So how was she going to talk about how she got the pictures? Because she defined needed to ask him about the pictures. He could just be spewing lies for all she cared. Ivan did it countless time so he could also do that. Lies came easy to men. Her father, Ivan and maybe Robert prove the notion."Aria, did you even listen to any word I said?" Robert asked her, scratching his hair agaim.
"You're so cute." Aria confessed, feeling all sorts of sweet feelings and his soft and possessive confessions. She had not experienced such before and the need to bask in it overpowered her as a smile spread to her lips."I'm everything for you, Princess." He replied. "Do you mind coming closer? It feels like we're so apart." He requested, staring at the space between them between because Aria was settled on the sofa across from him."I don't wanna." Aria refused playfully, rolling her eyes, determined to prolong the moment because it all felt like a dream.He chuckled darkly. "Don't let me come get you by myself princess.""Let's see what you can do.""You're testing my patience. You are." He cracked his knuckles."What's the need for that?" Aria asked, imitating his gesture."Are you getting ready for a fight?" Then she burst out laughing. Her laughter sounded extremely beautiful and he wished he could make her laugh everytime or bottle her laughter in a jar so he could hear it anyti
The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm hue on the sisters' face as they filled the box with clothes and stuffed other necessities into Anna's luggage. Anna was preparing to go to college and as much as Aria was happy that she was moving into another stage of her life, a dull ache shot through her chest. She couldn't voice how it made her feel because she thought it was better left unsaid how she was sad because she didn't want Anna to be sad as well. That childlike excitement that graced her features deserved to stay a little longer. When they finished, Anna stood backwards and admired the deft which her sister had employed into enabling everything fit in."You really did well." She smiled, placing her hands on her hips."I mean, what do you take me for?" Anna asked, a rueful smile gracing her lips."I'm so excited to finally be resuming college, all my friends have been talking about it." Anna squealed, jumping up."I know right! Hurry up, we need to get to the
Now as Aria crossed her legs in the parlour, waiting for Elanne to come over, sbe was engrossed in a chat with Robert. A smile curled at her lips the way he teased her.Robert: So don't tell me you cried when Anna left, Princess.Aria: ofcourse I did, I couldn't help it.Robert: Cry baby.Aria: I'd gladly take that title.Robert: so what do we call a princess who's also a cry baby?Aria stared at her phone for a brief second before laughing and typing back. "I don't know, maybe you should tell me."Robert: You're the one who you should tell me, don't you think so? (Smiley emoji?) One thing about why Aria loved chattung wigm Robert was that even the littles things he said made her laugh and she loved how they could go over a topic without seriousness but wigh nothing, but just the intention to joke with each other.Elanne: I'm almost here, hope you cooked? Because I'm freaking famished, I could faint right now, girl.Aria smiled. She had prepared pasta when Elanne informed her that sh
"This is really good!" Elanne announced when she had almost finished eating the food. Aria smiled. "i know right, by now we've agreed that I make the best pasta.""No, you don't! I do."Aria paused. "I haven't eaten yours by the way, you just send me pictures each time you make them.""Baby gurl, from the pictures aren't you supposed to know that the food is going to be lit?"Aria rolled her eyes at her. "Not when I haven't tasted it.""When next I'm coming, I'll bring some."Aria shook her head. "I have actually never been to your house, so you could invite me for one when you're less busy.""Great Idea, Great idea. There you'll have the chance to taste from my plate of goodness.. I'll be willing to serve you.""Enough please," Aria waved a dismissive hand towards her and they both laughed for a while, leaning into the leather sofa."So how was it?" Aria asked, breaking the silence."Uh what?" Elanne asked."Visiting him." Aria asked, she knew that wws a delicate topic for her but s
"Hey, are you good?" Elanne nudged her elbow, upon taking in her features.Aria sighed. "I don't know. I don't know."Elanne stared at her. "Then you're not alright, tell me what you have been thinking of?" "It's just that I keep thinking about everything they did to me and i keeo asking myself why I was so blind to the obvious signs and why they could have done such to me," Aria complained. "I don't know why I've been unable to move on and it's killing me, I deserve better."Elanne took a deep breath, reached out to touch her hands and squeezed it. "Obviously you deserve better but now that it has happened, just keep acknowledging everything that has happened and reframe your thoughts. Each time it comes, just tell yourself yes you acknowledge everything tha t happened and it's not your fault and you're working towards healing..it won't happen overnight but soon you'll realize that you're no longer feelings those pains."Aria thought over her words and decided to act according to wh
Just then Aria's phone rang, it was Robert and she quickly swiped away thw call, not even in the slightest mood ready to speak to him. "Robert was calling right?" Elanne said, now her feet, her bag clutched in front of her."Yes." Aria answered, stuttering"So this is it right? You still chose to go back to him after he had hurt you. So this is really want you want for yourself? This is it?" Elanne shook her head in an expression that seemed somewhat pitiful."Can't you at least hear his own side of his explanation?" Aria asked.Elanne shook her head again. "You're really gullible, I see why you keep attracting the wrong men." Then without another word, she exited the house."You're really gullible, I see why you keep attracting the wrong men." That statement kept spinning in her head, pricking needles in her chest and she knew she couldn't hold it anymore, she had to let the tears all out. The statement was the worst she had heard about herself in her twenty years of existence and s
"Yeah we've always been there for each other." Aria replied, smiling amidst tears."So are you ready to talk about what happened?" Anna asked, then she pulled back from her seat.Aria heard the scrapping of chair against the tiles and then incohorent voices before she heard the banging of the door and then silence. "Where are you going?" She asked her."I just left class to the bathroom.""But you said you're having one in five minutes time.""Aria, I clearly won't be able to attend the class early because you need to my attention, isn't that clear enough?"Aria sighed. "I know you're just trying to help but I don't want you missing classes and worrying about me."Anna gasped, annoyance lining her voice. "What's this about? I'm just trying to help you... Must you worrying about everything all the time? I've not miseed any classes since I resume school-""It's okay, you don't have to get angry at me also." Aria said in a brittle voice."You know I could never stay angry at for long ric
