EARLIER
"Your nightwear is begging me to rip it off." He whispered, his lips almost touching her neck. Avery took a deep breath and pushed him away.
"Get out." she said.
"As if I would." He said and Avery's mouth dropped open. Is he really staying in my own house without my permission!?
"Riccardo, you really need to get out of here now! I have a presentation to prepare and I need to get up early tomorrow for the train and you are not helping at all." She said and he turned around to face her again.
"You are going from the train!?"
"Yes."
"Why not the plane?'
"Because it's expensive and overall both take the same time. I'm saving money." She said proudly and Riccardo seemed like he wanted to say something. He looked deep in thought, Avery took this moment to look

BECAUSE I COULD WATCH YOU FOR A MINUTE AND FIND A THOUSAND THINGS I LOVE ABOUT YOU... EARLIER Oh that's good! Me too, let's go inside, we can talk on the way." he said signaling her to move forward. Avery nodded and climbed in the train. The train was crowded, mostly filled with tourists. Lucan got left behind in the crowd that was entering and exiting the train, so Avery found her seat and settleddown. She opened her laptop and started checking and replying to her mails. Some were reviews, some from her management team. Avery has some trusted people from which she collectivelymade a management team. She was thinking of finally building an office and another branch of her cafe that, of course will be much easier if she gets a potential investor tomorrow. Avery was tangled up in her thoughts and mails when someone dropped on the seat next to her. She looked to her right and was again m

THE UNIVERSE JUST FUCKING KNOWS WHEN SOULS ARE WIRED TO WRECK THE WORLD TOGETHER EARLIER "Did you cancel my reservation at the hotel!?" "Yes." He answered. "Why!?" She asked. "Because I'm staying at this hotel too and the room is almost too big for me alone. You can stay with me." "What!?" Do you even know what you're talking about!? Are you crazy or what!? And how the hell did you know where I'm staying!?" Avery was angry. "Come up to room 7077. Let's talk." "No way I'm not coming anywhere near you! I'm going to find another hotel!" "Sweetheart you won't find any room in any decent hotel without reservation, everywhere is full. And you can't go very far away from the venue right?" "First of all this is my problem, second don't you

MY LONELY PLACE IS EVERYWHERE YOU AREN'T... EARLIER They both got settled in the car and drove out in the City lit with the afternoon sun. Milan was extremely beautiful. They haven't even crossed A block and she could already see why it is called the fashion city of Italy. The street fashion was so high class! Everyone was wearing such good clothes like they were about to walk on a runway. At that, Avery felt underdressed. She should have wore her Dior dress to match with the people here, wait would that be too much..? "You want to do some shopping?" Riccardo asked and she looked at him. "Hell yeah. I've been waiting for it for a week!" She said enthusiastically. "Then buckle up!" He said pulling the gears and stormed on the race pedal. The car ran with the sp

~YOU HAVE ME. REMEMBER THIS~ EARLIER "Let's go eat something, I haven't had anything since the morning." And they left the shop. "Why are you staring at me?" Avery asked when she couldn'tavoid his gaze any longer. "It's just that.. I've never seen a lady denying my card and paying for it on her own." He said. "Well that's because I'm earning." "Yeah and all the women I've ever dated were all the daughters of billionaires." "Oh! That means you've always dated gold diggers." Avery couldn't hold back her chuckle. "Not all.. I don't think the one I'm dating right now is a gold digger. And you don't even know how damn attractive that is." He said. How does he always manage to say things that make me blus

~WHEN YOU CAN'T LOOK ON THE BRIGHTS SIDE, I WILL SIT ON THE DARK SIDE WITH YOU~ EARLIER the way she felt in his arms... was something unexplainable... something so beautiful that she never wanted the moment to end. God! What has she pulled herself into..? They both reached the hotelroom and Avery dropped on the bed, tiered from the day. Everything was still going on in Avery's mind, though they didn't talked al the way home and Riccardo too didn't ask anything but she is getting a feeling that he will now. "Mind telling me what was that?" He said and Avery signed. Here we go... "It was nothing. Just what you saw." She said sittingup straight in the bed. "It was definitelynot just that.. It was more than what I could see.. Tell me Avery, you can trust me."

~MY MIND DROWNS IN THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU AND ME~ EARLIER "Alright. You can go rest." Avery turned around with a smile and walked back to their room. Taking off her coat and hanging it she climbed inside the covers and tired as she was, sleep instantly took over. Avery woke up the next day to an empty bed. She didn't know when Riccardo left but knew he was here last night, she could still feel his warmth when he hugged her all night and his scent was still lingering on her skin. She smiled inwardlyand got off the bed. It's a big day today.. She needs to get ready!!It was almost as if after last night she forgot what happened yesterday and how she felt, it didn't matter anymore.. Today Avery was new, and filled with new confidence that she dearly needs to win an investor. Avery got freshed and got ready wearing her baby pink dress tha

EARLIER Every booth was of different color, Avery's was silver and above it she could see a banner saying Avery's Choice. She walked toward it and saw her stuff was placed there. Everything was perfect, now she just needs to wish to the God to not let her make any mistakes during the presentation. Avery got settled in her booth, Lucan had left her a few minutes ago to look around more. She instantly started collecting and organising her stuff. For those who are from the culinary line, they would be given a time limit in which they would have to make or cook their deal while in front of everyone's eyes and then present it over the stage, this way the investors will be sure that they are investing in the right thing. Avery is glad they gave her enough time, because she can't work under pressure because every thing goes wrong whenever she looks at the timer, that's why she never participate

EARLIER Riccardo was just looking up at her with a smile on his face and pride in his eyes...He is proud of me...She bowed to the crowdas everyone clapped for her and returned to her booth keeping a hand on her wildlybeating heart. I DID IT!! Avery screamed in her heart. Avery took the wine glass from the bar and turned around towards the party. Her eyes were searching for just one person who she didn't see after the event. "Yo! Ave!" Rina came and hugged Avery. "I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you after your presentation, I had to stay with mom but bro! You killed it! When you were up at the stage you stole the show! I was soooo damn proud of you! All businessmen would be lining up to invest in your business lady!"She said and Avery smiled. "Well I don't know about all of them lining up

It was not a painting but a framed picture. A picture of Riccardo and Avery.. the same one that was on the cover of the magazine. The one in which they were standing on the The dance floor and kissing each other with so much passion and love like there is no tomorrow. The picture was so beautiful and so big that she lost words.. dipu tip top on the wall and it literally look like a painting..

"How do you know!?" "I am that girl.... Uncle." She said and his face paled. "What!?" Both Albino and Edith look like she had asked them for their kidneys.

I thought this is something that both of us should tell them." Riccardo whispered in her ear and she nodded. There was an elder woman standing beside Albino. She looked like she was in her early forties, younger than Avery had imagined. "Welcome Mr. Riccardo and Ms....?" He looked at her, Avery was about to say her name when Riccardo answered for her.
