Chapter 21 - Part 2

Pov: VictoriaHe would be happy to teach me. I was super excited. We set the baking date for that following weekend. The rest of the dinner went well. He cracked jokes and was very attentive. He complimented me so many times I was worried that my face would permanently turn red from blushing too much.After we ate, he paid for the meal and refused to listen to me when I wanted to pay for my own food. We headed for the mall and went straight to the movie theater. There was nothing interesting showing at the time that we got there so we went to get ice cream instead. I was still very stuffed from lunch but who says no to ice cream? I got vanilla ice cream and he got chocolate-flavored ice cream which I thought was an abomination so we argued about it for about twenty minutes before he relented. Vanilla will always be the superior flavor. We talked as we ate the ice cream. Our conversation was so interesting that we accidentally neglected our ice cream bowls.By the time we realized it,

Chapter 22 - Part 1

Pov: Victoria It was finally graduation day. The four years of learning and hard work had all led up to this moment when I would get my high school diploma. It all felt very surreal. This time I had also gotten swept up in Sam and Alice’s excitement. The previous week we had all gone shopping and made sure that everyone had found the perfect outfit. My mom had even busted out the emergency credit card. She told me that no expenses would be spared. I only graduated once! The morning of, I was woken up by a text from Jonathan. “Wake up babe! We did it! I can’t wait to see you. I bet you’ll look great.” He was the sweetest. Over the two weeks, I had given a lot of thought to our relationship. He was perfect for me and I was happy when I was with him. I chose him. I owed it to myself to see what we could be. I jumped out of my bed, hopped into the shower, and started getting ready. I had straightened my hair the previous night and put it in curlers. So I took them out and put on my em

Chapter 23 - Part 2

Pov: Victoria“I knew that our dating was too good to be true. I know that you have feelings for him Tori, I see the way that you look at him. It’s rather obvious to anyone but him.” “I am really sorry Jonathan.” I really meant it.I hated the sad defeated look on his face. It’s like he had seen this coming but decided to take a chance on me anyway, consequences be damned. I felt like a terrible person but I knew it had to be done.“I’m sorry too. I wish I was right for you. There are no hard feelings though. I wish you the best. Can I get one last hug?” he asked.Even in our breakup, he remained the perfect gentleman. I hated that I could not fall for him. I hugged him tightly and bade him farewell, closing that brief chapter in my life. I felt at peace with my decisionI headed back to where Sam and Alice were standing.“Is it done?” Sam asked.“Yeah, I did it and it sucked.”“What? What sucked? What’s done? Am I missing something here?” Alice asked, looking back and forth between

Chapter 24

Pov: Caleb“Bye caleb! I am really going to miss you. I’ll come visit you as soon as I can.” Brianna said as she hugged me. Her hold on me was so tight, I felt like I was being suffocated.I could not believe that the summer was already over. It had gone by so fast. I had thoroughly enjoyed myself. The guys and I took full advantage of the summer sun. We swam nearly every day, we had gone on short road trips to places like the Grand Canyon, we partied harder than we ever had. I grew a lot closer to some of my team members.My relationship with Brianna had also flourished. We spent so much time together, our families had even met. I had gone over to their place several times. Her parents loved me. Then again, most parents did and when her sister came home, I bonded with her which was a huge relief. It was obvious that Bree looked up to her sister and valued her opinion above all else so when I got her stamp of approval I was elated. My family on the other hand had not warmed up to her

Chapter 25 - Present Day - Part 1

Pov: VictoriaI woke up that morning with a terrible hangover. Alice and I had partied a little too hard after the wedding. It was amazing how even after ten years, my girls; Samantha, Alice, and I were still best of friends. I had invited them both to the wedding (with the bride’s permission of course) but only Alice was able to come since she, like me, had moved back to Arizona after college.She moved back home to Sedona to take over her family’s business and I lived in Phoenix where I worked as a pastry chef at the La Grande Restaurant as a pastry chef. I had done and completed my degree in business administration at the University of Texas and tried to work in the finance world before I realized that it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.Alice was actually the person who encouraged me to join the culinary school to become a pastry chef. My short relationship with Jonathan somehow ended up changing the course of my life. Even after we broke up, the interest that

Chapter 26 - Present Day - Part 2

Pov: Victoria“I am afraid I can’t let you do that love. You need to go receive the delivery for the shop today and Tori has a lunch that she needs to get to,” he replied.“My lunch starts at one o'clock. I have time. It’s like nine am,” I responded, settling in further in the bed.“Actually, it’s ten minutes to noon. If you don’t wake up now you are going to be late.” I sprang out of bed immediately.If I did not leave soon, I would be late. If I was late, my mother would kill me and bury my remains in her flower garden which would be an unfortunate series of events. I rushed to the bathroom to straighten myself up so that I didn’t look like a complete mess then ran out to my car with only one shoe on because I had misplaced the other and could not be bothered to look for it at the time.I drove to my childhood home at record speed. By the time I got there, I had only forty minutes to get ready and get to the Stallone Residence. Immediately I opened the door, I remembered why we had

Chapter 27

Pov: CalebThere was really no need for Eric to comment on how awkward the situation was. You could cut the tension with a knife. I had considered not attending the lunch that morning. I had woken up at six o'clock that morning. My body was exhausted but my internal clock was so used to being up by that time, I had no control over it.I tried to go back to sleep but I was not able to, unlike my fiancé who was snoozing away blissfully unaware of my struggles. She looked too cute in her sleep, it was a stark contrast to how fierce she was in real life.Sometimes I couldn’t believe that I was actually engaged to Brianna. After dating on and off for almost ten years, it was the only thing to do. I popped the question three months ago. I had taken her on a trip to Paris and proposed to her by the seine river, with a direct view of the Eiffel Tower. I had gone all out; flowers, a string quartet, candles.The whole production cost a pretty penny but I was happy to drop the bundle for her. It

Chapter 28 - Part 1

Pov: VictoriaI had never been so glad to sit down for a meal in my life. I had expected our interaction to be weird but that was a lot worse than I thought it would be. What was that!? I tried to be subtle and walk to the table really fast so that I was not stuck sitting next to Caleb but Eric beat me to the seat next to his dad so I had to sit beside my mom and Caleb sat between us.“Great! Now I have to talk to him!” I thought to myself.The appetizers were brought out. It was a platter of Baked Brie With Figs, Pistachios, And Oranges. It looked absolutely delicious but I could not stand the sight of it. I was still paying for the mistakes I had made last night. My stomach felt very uneasy so I passed.“Why aren’t you eating honey?” my mom asked with a concerned look on her face. “I just don’t want to fill up before the main course. I had a heavy breakfast,” I lied.On cue, my stomach rumbled. I prayed that it was not so loud that Mom could hear it. The truth was that I was starvi

Chapter 29 - Part 2

Victoria's Pov:“No way! I loved that cake. You are really good,'' Caleb said.It felt so good to hear him say that.“Thanks, I’m glad you liked it.''We both kept quiet for a moment. I kept thinking of something to say. I felt like we had exhausted all the safe topics. I turned my attention back to the rest of the table, trying to ignore the urge that I had to continue engaging Caleb in the conversation for the rest of the lunch. ***“How was it?'' Alice asked me as soon as I entered her door.I had passed by her place after lunch because she called me and told me that my shoe had been found. I had decided to go pick it up on the way home. I had taken a week off work for the wedding and intended on spending most of it in Sedona.“It was weird! I couldn’t wait for it to be over,” I answered as I sat my ass down on her couch, “I couldn't wait for it to be over.”“That bad huh?” she asked.“Yes! We ran out of things that we could actually talk about, you know, things that would not mak

Chapter 30

Caleb POV:I walked around my father’s office. I had not been there for several years. I was not involved in the day-to-day running of the family’s businesses so I did not have any reason to be in Dad’s office. I had always felt guilty about that. I knew that even though he was exceedingly proud of me, Dad would have loved me if I took over the business.I was his oldest son so it only made sense. Luckily for him, Eric had stepped up. He had always had an interest in Business Administration and he exceeded all expectations whenever Dad delegated a duty to him. He thrived in the business world and so he became the COO of the company in my place.He genuinely loved what he did. You could tell by the way he spoke about it. to be honest, it was all gibberish to me. I, however, was still a shareholder in the company so every once in a while, especially when I was home, I would check-in. Besides, it was always interesting to see Eric in his element.I picked up a framed photo of all of us
