AVERY TRUTH ON THE ROOSEVELT'S DAUGHTER'S VACATION "Did the RooseVelt's only Daughter actually go on the vacation 5 years ago she and her family had claimed she had gone on? An anonymous source has brought up the fact that the famous and popular beauty diva, Eleanor Roosevelt may have lied to the country about going on a vacation 5 years ago. Our source, who will remain anonymous for personal reasons, says the beauty Diva had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and had birthed a child out of wedlock. Her parents, The Roosevelt couldn't bear to have their dirty secret out in the open and so they informed us she was going on a year's vacation to France. That was more than enough time to give birth and recuperate. The question remains, where is the child right now? Dead or Alive? Did the Beauty Diva really lie to us 5 years ago?" Below the news were pictures of Eleanor Roosevelt smiling at the camera, her stepping out of her car... And many more. And she looked absolutely dashing! I
AVERY"Are you okay?" Maverick asked and I nodded my head. I took the water he offered and sipped it dropping the empty cup on the counter."Thank you," I said looking up at his face."For?""Everything. You believed me, you trusted me even though I was the Daughter of your oldest rival, and you cared for me like no one has ever done. Everyone in the world turned their backs on my call for help but you took my hand and helped me up. You have no idea how grateful I am." I said shaking my head."Come here." He said pulling me in for a hug. I leaned closer and hugged him sniffing in his heavenly husky scent.He stayed like that for a while before he leaned down and kissed the crown of my head."I love you." He declared suddenly and I froze in his embrace. I couldn't bring myself to look up at his face neither could I move a miniscule of muscle. I leaned away from him when I got my strength back and my arm hung loosely on his waist. I looked up at his face and I smiled before saying,"I
AVERY"Try it. Tell me what you think?" I said pushing the mug half filled with hot cocoa. Maverick looked down at the mug and carried it placing it between his lips.I bit my lower lips in anticipation."Let me focus if you want me to tell you how it tastes," Maverick said suddenly and I blinked at him looking around the kitchen."I didn't do anything. I'm just standing over here." I said gesturing at myself.He sighed with a slight shake of his head before taking the mug up again. I stretched my neck trying to get closer to him but suddenly, he dropped the mug on the counter."What are you doing?" I asked blinking at him."Drink it and tell me your opinion.""Then stop distracting me!""How am I distracting you?" I asked in disbelief."You keep stretching your neck, moving closer to me, biting your lips. Especially the lips. Don't do the lips.""What lips? What are you talking about?""Forget it." He mumbled with a wave of his hand. He carried the cup and with his eyes focused on me
MAVERICKA light snore distracted me from the sheets of paper in my hand. My eyes moved to the bed where my wife lay asleep.She mumbled a few words and then continued sleeping. Her bare shoulders were visible due to the quilt that covered her body up to her shoulders because of the 'exercise' we just did.A sigh escaped her lips making my lips spread into a smile. She makes me want to abandon my work and kidnap her to go on a vacation for a year.That would actually be great! Going on a vacation for the New Year! But Ramon... A day after the New Year then.With happiness, I picked up my phone and dialed Carter's number."Sir?" His groggy voice came through the phone. I brought the phone away from my ear and looked at the time that read 1:24 am."Were you asleep?" I asked and I heard a few shuffles before he replied,"Not anymore, Sir. Did you need something?""Hm. As soon as the day breaks, book the first two earliest flights to Paris on January 2." "Paris? Isn't that too common? Th
MAVERICK "Hi." She squeaked. My eyes looked around the hallway to see the vase that she had knocked over. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop! I really didn't! Butler Flora said I could find you here so I came looking for you. Then, I heard you were talking about something important. Then, my ankle hit that vase. I would have gone but I didn't know you were coming or had heard me since Carter kept talking. And I–" "Breathe..." I shushed her and she paused. "Breathe," I commanded and she released the breath she had been holding. She took a deep breath and patted her chest. "Do you want water?" I asked and she shook her head. "Do you want to come in?" I asked nudging my head in the direction of the study. "Can I?" She asked and I nodded my head with a smile. I stretched my hand out and that was when I noticed what she was wearing. She was dressed in my white shirt and it swallowed her body whole. The sleeve was too long so it covered her whole arm, including her fingers. The shirt reach
AVERY"Happy New Year!" A very well familiar voice yelled followed by a loud bang.I immediately disconnected my lips from Maverick's and used the hand that was on his chest to push him away and his hand out of my shirt.I turned my head sharply to the intruder whose eyes looked to Maverick. And then Me. And then Maverick again and I saw him gulp down his spit rather harshly. Before I could say a word, the box of tissue paper was flying towards the door. Oh boy."Ever heard of knocking?!" Maverick yelled when Ramon dodged the Box. Maverick made to grab another thing which turned out to be the pencil holder and as he chucked it at his best friend, the door slammed close."That imbecile!" Maverick muttered. I slowly but carefully turned my head in his direction. He was breathing fire."Why did you have to go and interrupt with his stupid manners?!" He yelled glaring at the door. My eyes went back to the door wordlessly and I felt pity for the poor door. If Maverick's eyes were shooting
AVERY"This is good!" He screeched and I shrunk back at the momentum of his voice."You don't have to yell that much," I said taking a sip of the hot cocoa that I made for the two of us."Of course, I have to. This is better than the ones I've made for myself.""Don't flatter me," I said rolling my eyes."Why would I want to do that?" He asked."True that," I replied after a short seconds of silence."I like your necklace by the way.""Yeah?" I asked trailing the sapphire stone with my hand."Maverick got it for you?" He asked and I looked up at him in surprise. "How do you know that?" I asked."He's my best friend. I know his taste in necklaces." He replied and I nodded my head picking up my mug again."Avery?" He called and I turned my head to him. He stared at me for a while before he shook his head and said,"Never mind.""Why? Is something on my face?" I asked rubbing my face."No. There's nothing on it.""Then why do you keep staring at me?" I asked in confusion."Do you want t
AVERY I stared blankly at the golden-colored wall. I refused to blink. I refused to let the cry that had welled up in my eyes fall. Because if I do, more will fall and then the dam will break. My eyes darted to the clock on the side table. It read 10:26 pm. My hand that was holding the duvet clenched further and I blinked. That was my mistake. I grabbed the pillow beside me tossing it to the floor. "Why?!" I yelled tears rolling down my face. I made no move to wipe it off neither did I make an effort to stop crying. "What did I do wrong?! Why?!" I yelled trashing the bed. My throat hurt from crying so much. My cold dinner lay on the dressing table covered. Just like the way Butler Flora had placed it there earlier this evening. "Mistress!" Someone yelled and I turned my head glaring at whoever it was. "Get out! Get out of my room!" I yelled tossing whatever I could grab. If anyone saw me they would think I've gone crazy. I am. I am crazy. I'm going crazy. "Young Miss, please
