25 CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE (1/2)
Amaya's POV
We ate the food Eunice made and it was really delicious.
”Thank you so much for another wonderful treat Eunice” Will said as we walk outside the door.
”Anytime, Will. Thanks for the car also” She replied.
”Goodnight Malia, boys” he said and they returned the greeting as I walk him out.
”You have a very beautiful family Amaya” Will said suddenly and I smiled.
”Thank you” I replied, looking down at my hands.
”There's a party, and I'd love it, if you'd be my plus one. Would you do me the honor Miss Amaya?” Will asked out of the blue.
And I didn't know what to say, I just stare.
”I uhm I can't, I'm sorry” I replied.
”But why?” He asks and I twirl my head.
”Look, you seem like a great guy but I don't want this to happen further. We should probably say goodbyes” I say, putting my lips on a thin line and I could see the hurt in his eyes, but its for the best.
”I won't take no for an answer, but I will give you time. I know you don't know me much since I'm still a stranger to you. But, I'll try more. Goodnight Miss Amaya, not goodbye” he says and walked over to me, and I tilt backward in reflex as I watch him plant a kiss on my cheeks and I was really surprised at that move.
He got inside his car and drove off, leaving me bewildered.
I got inside and I hear murmuring, looking to where it was coming from I saw Malia and it seems she was on a call, so I just leave her to it and went upstairs.
Changed, and flopped into my bed and covered myself, but something funny kept repeating itself in my head.
What Will did few minutes ago.
I really don't like where this is going.
I left New York to escape one man, only to be welcomed by another.
I grunt and dragged the covers over me, and try to welcome the sleep knocking.
But my phone annoyingly buzzed and I grunt again, grabbing the phone it was a call from Mike.
”Hey buddy” I say relaxing my back comfortably, cuz this may take time.
”London girl” he says and I laugh.
”Missing me?” I say and it was his turn to laugh
”Of course I am. Work has been stressful and its worse cuz there's no one here to talk to or hang out with” he says with his funny British accent and I smile.
”Sorry about that, you should really get a girlfriend” I joke and he cough.
”The sound of it makes me cough already” he replies and I laugh.
”I have a message for you Amaya, its from Chase” he says, and just by hearing that name, my heart skipped a bit and I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear what it was.
”Okay?” I say, unsure of myself.
”He told me to tell you he's sorry for everything, he misses you and really wants to see you. Or just to even speak with you, even if you don't come back to him. He just said he had some things to say to you and that he's really sorry again” he finishes and I could feel my heart ache.
”Thanks” I replied silently.
”I hope I didn't ruin your mood Amaya?” Mike asked and I smile
”Not at all” I reply.
And we went ahead to have some chat, which caused me to sleep very late.
I couldn't get Chase out of my head, and it was annoying because I couldn't sleep.
