"I think I know exactly what you're talking about."
Getting out of the cab Avery entered the hotel. Anyone could tell she was excited just by looking at her walk. She can't wait to tell her dad this good news! Avery made her way to her dad's office.
"Dad!" She screamed as she entered the office.
"My princess looks very happy today." Dad said as he got up from his seat and rounded the table.
"Dad! I got a great lead today regarding the investment." She said but she couldn't understand the expression on her dad's face. Was he happy or sad? His expression was a mix of everything.
"Dad, aren't you happy?" She asked."Of course I am, it's just that... I don't like the fact that you have to go places to search for an investor when I can help you in anything you want." he

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF YOUR WONDERING THOUGHTS EVER WONDER ABOUT ME. EARLIER "Just twenty out of hundreds huh? Well the odds of winning are high. I'm not going to be dependent on this one dish... I need more..." Avery said and fell in deep thought. She was feeling confident just a moment ago but now it all converted into anxiousness. "Hello?" Avery picked up her phone which was ringing for a while. "Avery? Where were you?" She heard a familiarvoice from the other side. "Oh dad! Actually it's quite busy today so I just didn't get the chance to call. What's up?" "You have to come home today, you remember right?" He said and Avery closed her eyes in frustration. She almost forgot she promisedhim that she will visit during the weekends. "Ahh yes dad I remember." she said nevertheless.

Huh so much for his gentleman shit. Wait. "What do you mean?" "It's clear! You're special to him." He said and her stomach churned to his words. "So when is he coming to pick you up?" Enrico asked and Avery's eyes traveled to the wall clock. "An hour from now. At 7." She said and her dad's eyes widened. "Then what are you doing here playing with me!? Go get ready!" Her dad said and she was kinda shocked. "Okay..." She said and made her way up to her room. There were still some dresses and things that she left here.

THERE IS MY HEART, AND THERE IS YOU, AND I'M NOT SURE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. "Do you really bring home a new girl every night?" Avery asked without thinking. They have been playing the game ever since, not being able to get enough of each other, Riccardo too was shocked at her question. There are times when you want that the ground would just swallow you, Avery was feeling that way right now. What would he think of her now? Would he think that she is jealous? Is she pushing it too much? But he has already shared a lot of personal things with her already. "Well actually I used to, not anymore. I was the kind who didn't liked any strings attahed, that's why I never fucked a girl twice. But not anymore.." He said and looked at her carefully waitting for her reaction.

"He kissed her, without warning, without permission, without even deciding to do it, but simply because he couldn't have done anything else. He needed that breath she was holding. It belonged to him and he wanted it back." EARLIER "Are you going to move away after buckling it like they always do in movies?" She couldn't help but ask when he didn't make a move. Riccardo chucked, his breath hit her face. He smelled like wine, Sweet and addicting. Then suddenly he left the belt buckle he was holding and cupping her face with both his hands he crashed his lips on hers. A strange feeling blossomed through her body, a sudden euphoria that she never experienced before. For a moment Avery didn't move. He was kissing her with such urge and temptation, almost as

"Means I don't want to see you after today. Let's finish it here." She said and his eyes widened. It's what they say.. that you can never be enough careful and Avery has already been hurt in love. She won't make the same mistake twice. Avery messaged her dad that she will be going to the penthouse directly and will not come back home. "Don't tell me! You guys are already at it!?" was what her dad messaged me. She rolled her eyes and kept her phone back in her handbag. Don'tdads normally avoid these topics!? My dad is actually really happy if h

"Avery you're not having lunch today?" Nora asked. "Nah I'm not hungry actually." She lied, she was hungry but right now cooking seemed like a better option. "Boss, someone outside is asking for you!" One of the waiters came to tell her. "Is that 'someone' a guy in his late 20s, tall and handsome in a business suit?" She asked. "Yes.." He seemed confused.

I know what you went through alright, but you can't live your whole life in the fear of getting hurt. Don't you have enough phobias already?" She is right, I shouldn't be so weak. But is it really worth the risk? When Avery went back to the cafe, Riccardo was no longer there. She didn't know whether she was relieved or disappointed at that. The whole day Avery couldn't focus on her work. Her mind was swirling with confusion and doubts. Avery didn't realise that it was so late untilshe was worn out to the bone. "Avery!
