2021-08-15 01:06:47I CHOSE YOU AND I' NEVER CHANGING MY MIND!
Avery didn't sit at her usual spot for lunch today, because she knows he is waiting there. She can't face him right now, she would go weak.
"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.

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! Stop mixing the batter, we don't need anymore cupcakes!" She heard Nora say. "Oh" She loo

HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS TO LOOSE YOURSELF IN SOMEONE, AND NOT FEEL LOST AT THE SAME TIME. EARLIER Suddenly her eyes flew open from the sound of her phone ringing. Groaning, she leaned towards her right to grab the phone from the side table. Her eyebrows crashed in confusion when she saw the unknown number. She contemplated whether or not to answer it...Must be something urgent if someone is calling at this hour.She thought and slid the phone icon to answer. "Hello?" She said. "Ahh.. you don't even know how much peace your voice gives me." The person said and Avery sucked in a breath. The voice... "Riccardo?" "The very."He said. "But how did you get my number!?

"OUR SOULS HAVE BEEN WAITING LIFE TIME FOR OUR HEARTS TO FINALLY MEET." EARLIER Avery pushed herself away to look at the person's face.... "Riccardo!?" For a second Avery felt like everything was a dream.. like she was in the twilight movie which she watched 7 times now and was just going to wake up. This is not the reality she hoped for. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to get out of the dream. Sometimes you know it's a dream but you can't get out of it. But this.. it felt too real for a dream. Avery could still feel his hands that were secured around her waist and the firm and warm chest against which she was pressed. "Riccardo? What are you doing here!?" she said opening her eyes. "You were practically screaming in my ear, so loud and so... hurtful.. I couldn't

WHEN I SAW YOU I FELL IN LOVE AND YOU SMILED, BECAUSE YOU KNEW.. EARLIER "So if this is true... that means...." She couldn't bring the words to her lips. "I'm half blood. Half human, half god." Avery's eyes widened. For a second she didn't realised what he was talking about, although she didn't believed in the Greek Gods, she has always seen them as a fictional story or world that the people have created for their entertainment but she still have read so many novels on Greek mythology, enough to know what half bloods actually mean. "You mean you have some kind of powers?!" She said out aloud. Though not all half bloods have powers, they are still different from normal people. "Yes." He said "But I'm guessing you won't tell me?" Avery said, now super

Like her nature and doings?""Well of course I don't know that much about her but as much as I've heard and read.. I think she is an incredibly jealous woman. I mean anyone would be jealous if their husband had fucked every other goddess and exploited numerous humans... but the way she tackled the situation.. is just heartless.

Riccardo lifted her in his arms and threw her on the bed. "You are sleeping here with me on the bed and that's final." She lay there with him. He did not touch her, just like he promised.

But still.. she would have never thought that this much drama would enter her life! But was she really ready to risk it all for Ricc

How can I hate someone for kissing me when I myself loved it? How can I not love him? "Mr. Riccardo.. you know my sister?" Felicia asked. "Of course, she is my girlfriend." He said and Avery chokedon her juice. "Avery you ok?" Dad asked as she was coughinghard. Avery whipped her head to look at Riccardo who was silently sipping on his juice with an irritatingly mischievoussmile on his face. "Your... girlfriend!!??" Felicia stood up from the chair.
