Few days later-

Aaron's pov

I lean again my car. Looking at my watch. Waiting for Andriana to come.

It's this habit of girls that makes me irritated.

Like why can't they come on time?

Except for her.

My brain says and I curse. Why? Why does my mind keeps bringing her in the discussion every damned time.

I remember the impact of her slap still on my face,and I clench my fist.

The audacity of that Orphan girl, that she slapped me?

But I guess I went overboard that day.

I said too much in order to make her hate me.

But anyways, it worked. She didn't show me her face after that day again.

I don't know where she disappeared , but it was better anyways.

Who wanted to see her boring face-

Okay fine! I am fooling myself. I still think about those brown eyes, I almost miss seeing them staring back at me.

I don't know why.

It has to be the Lasagna she makes for me....yes it has to be it. Or why would I miss her?

Coming out of my thoughts I check the time again, to find myself waiting for my girlfriend for almost an hour.

I missed a very importent meeting just to pick her up. When I was sending a car for her. But no, she wants me to be here.

Agh come on !

Truthfully speaking Andriana is a really nice girl. Trust me when I saw I have even dated those crazy possessive leaches before. And in comparison to them, Andriana was thousand times better.

But still these few habits of her just irritate me. One of being this only ,that.

She doesn't values others time!

My patience was already at it's brink ,when I finally locate her. She stands out of the crowd for sure.

Making way towards me, I see people staring at her.

She is extraordinary beautiful. Without a doubt. Those unique eyes are very rare to find, and her smile. It's breath taking.

Taking my gaze lower ,I stare at her perfectly curved figure under the body hugging dress ,and I got to admit.

My girlfriend is way too hot.

"Aaron! Oh gosh! I am so sorry! Since how long were you waiting?"

She says, directly embracing me in a hug. And my anger vanishes. You see, this is how she is different from others.

She atleast knows she was wrong for making me wait.

She understands how I must be feeling right now.

Placing a kiss on my cheek . She almost pleads.

"I am sorry hun! There was a problem at check out."

I look into her eyes, sighing.

"There is no need to lie. I am not angry."

I say, looking into her beautiful eyes. To only see her gulping, lowering her eyes.

"You...you know?"

She asks innocently and I coil my arm around her waist, pulling her to my chest.

Making her blue eyes to set on me.

"You were shopping at the duty free. Weren't you?"

She bites her lips. Lowering her eyes again and I get my answer.

"I wouldn't be angry if you could have just messaged me Andri. I am waiting here since last 45 minutes."

And that's when she holds my face in her palms. Making me look back at her.

"I am sorry! I know you would be angry! But Aaron I almost left all my clothes in Seattle. I had no latest edition clothes to wear.....but wait ..how did you came to know?"

She asks in disbelief.

And that's when I speak, almost letting out the thing I promised myself to not ask her.

"I know everything about you Andri. There is nothing you can hide from me."

Her face pales suddenly and I don't say anything. My grip on her tightening.

The image flashes in front of my eyes, of her kissing that fuc*ing director of hers.

And I close them.

Calm down Aaron. It was a mistake.

Just like the one you commited a few days back with that stupid girl.

It happens.

Plus it was 6 months ago.

It's her line of work. She needs to use other tools to impress those fuc*ers. Maybe she was desperate for that role. Considering how career oriented she is, I know she can cross some lines to get what she wants in it.

Now you can understand, why I told you I hate her line of work.

"You got me Aaron! I seriously thought you even knew the colour of my undies."

She says enthusiastically, trying to lighten the mood and drifting away from the topic.

And I don't ponder on it, letting it go. Joining her game by raising my brow.

"Do you want me to guess?"

"Hot pink?"

I almost say. To only have her chuckle. My other hand, moves in her shirt to run circles on her back.

She pushes herself more closer to me,suppressing a moan.

"I missed this so much Aaron. I missed you baby."

She whispers, trailing hungry kisses down my neck. And I don't waste a second, to unlock my car and push her inside it.

"Wait till we reach home. I can't wait to check if my guess is right."

I say , pecking her lips to only make her smile at me seductively.

Closing her door, I get on the driver's seat. Running my hand through my messed up hair.

Damn the meeting, I was already late.

Why don't I take a break today.

It's been long since I last claimed this vexen beside me and the way she is looking at me? It's getting impossible to control it.

Mom and Dad were out along with Ben and Neil. So I guess we can continue this in my bedroom.

Staring the car, I almost hold her wrists, stopping her from touching me and distracting me.

To only have her whine.

"Aaaronnnn pleaseeee.'

She pouts and I give her one stern look to have her lower her eyes.

"Stop distracting me or I swear I will take you right here Andri"

My threat works as she goes silent after it. And I finally drive the car peacefully.

......

Ezra's pov

Finally home! I am so tired! Teaching in school is good, no doubt. But these kids seriously take alot of my energy and brain cells.

"Mom!"

I call, while laying on the sofa cum bed. To only hear silence in return.

I roll over the sofa, irritated. Trying to find her. Maybe she is in the mansion?

But wait. I can't go there, what if he is there?

Oh come on Ezra. We are not scared of him. Plus at this time that workoholic is usually still in office.

No chance he will be there.

Making my way inside the mansion, I see the place almost empty.

I peep through the kitchen to find no where?

Where the hell is everyone?

My eyes stop on a tray freshly baked cookies and I almost exclaim in excitement. Picking one up and munching on it.

I am sure Mrs Reed made them.

They are so perfect! Wow this heaven!

Almost lost in devouring the delicious cookies, I go still on hearing a loud sound from above.

Like a metal object falls on the floor.

Wait a minute. No one is at home today. Then who is upstairs?

I gulp, should I go upstairs?

No Ezra. Don't you know? Never go to check on voices when you are alone at home.

What if it's a thief or a Murderer?

The footsteps start coming downstairs.

And I almost drop the cookie, getting up from the shelf I was sitting on. My heart thudding rapidly in my chest as I look around to find someplace to hide.

Sh**!

The footsteps are so close.

My dumb mind couldn't think of anything else. Except the space under the counter of the kitchen, under which I used to hide when we were kids.

Crouching down, I hold my breath. To only see the footsteps enter the kitchen.

Wait a minute?

I could see from waist below and the person enters with long confident steps.

See the confidence of these robbers these days? As if they own this place.

My brows furrow as I see him wearing trousers. Wait a minute, since when did robbers dress so formally.

A robber in a business suit? Strange.

"Yes Mr Anderson. Of course"

I recognise the voice and place my hands on my mouth to go still.Silencing my breaths to only have my eyes widen.

It's him!

Sh**! Double Shit!'

I hear him pouring a glass of water ,just standing in front of me and my throat runs dry.

Oh lord no! Please!

If that was not worse, I hear another footsteps approaching. To only see long beautiful toned legs in my vision coming my way.

And the words the new voice spoke made me wish I hadn't come here.

"Baby, where did you go? Let's continue."

Damn here goes my cookies!
