Chapter 01.
*** Days ago. ***
I'm at the airport to make a connection, I'm going to the city where I have my company.
I'm holding my handbag, my cell phone, and a blouse, it's cold today. I'm looking for my boarding pass as I walk toward check-in.
And when I realize it, I bump into someone, my things go to the floor.
Shit! I whisper to myself.
— Sorry. — I ask without seeing who I bumped into.
I kneel to pick up my things that are scattered across the floor.
"Be careful next time!" — I hear a husky and sexy voice, when I stand up and stare into those hazel eyes, I feel a shiver run through my entire body.
— Sorry... — I ask and he hands me my cell phone.
"Just pay more attention!" He turns and starts walking.
— Arrogant. — Unintentionally, the words come out of my mouth.
He turns and faces me.
This man is very sexy, his eyes are piercing, his body is well-designed, he is tall and even though he wears an overcoat, you can still see his beautiful body.
— What did you say? “He's so close, I can smell his cool breath. — Not only is she blind, but she's also rude.
— Sir, then miss your flight. A tall, red-haired man speaks.
Without saying a word, he turns and walks away.
*** Current days. ***
— Of course, you can stay with me Ayza, stop it, you're my best friend. — I was excited for a second after Lili's invitation.
“Thanks, what would I do without you? “Just thinking about looking for a temporary place was exhausting.
"But there's a little problem."
Lili has been my friend since college, a few months ago I graduated in business, and she graduated in dentistry. I don't know how we became friends, because I was always more reserved and she wasn't anymore!
— Which? — I ask.
We are at a cafe in the city where we live.
'It's my brother's apartment, and he's going to ask you to sign a lease, with some rules.
"Does he live there?"
— Yes and no. — She laughs, — Actually, he comes here sometimes.
"I thought it was yours."
— My father gave me one as a gift, but I'm doing some renovations.
— Hmm! “I don't know if I should go there.
“Don't be like that, Ayza. ’ She takes a sip of her coffee. — I live there too, so no problem.
— I'll take it because I don't want my aunt complaining.
My parents died in a car accident when I was only 16 years old, and my aunt took care of me, to say that she took care of me is a lie, it was more her housekeeper who took care of me, and since I was younger and couldn't move in my inheritance I even graduated, things got difficult because she thought she could have my inheritance, and when the lawyer claimed that the month's expenses were restricted, she wanted to send me to an orphanage, that was not possible, because she had already signed the term that she would take care of me.
Since then, my life has been hell, it only got better after I went to college, because I lived on campus.
I bought an apartment, which is also undergoing renovations and while it is not ready, I will stay at Lili's brother's house.
“I'll talk to Dylan and in a few days, he'll send you the contract.
"What's in that contract?"
“No parties, no drinking, no drugs, no loud music.
— Serious?
— Yes. My brother is 10 years older than us... so that's normal. — She laughs. — Oh! He has a girlfriend, who comes here sometimes. Lili wrinkles her nose as she talks about her.
"Don't you guys get along?"
"She's very shallow, you know?" — Take a deep breath. “Just knowing about parties and shopping, that's all.
“I won't be there for long. "I hope I haven't known either of them in a while."
It's been a few days since I signed that contract, something very basic I don't even know why because it's the opposite of everything I do.
“This is your room. — Lili shows me the place.
Today is the day of my move, I brought very little.
My room is big and has a bathroom, that's perfect! It has a beautiful balcony.
— The room next to yours is my brother's and the first in the hall is mine. — Her room is a little far from mine. “Come see the kitchen. — We went down the stairs and passed through the hallway, and the kitchen is very large, it has two rooms, one for dining and the other for common use, the balcony is huge and you can see the whole city.
“The house is beautiful.
“Yes, and quite roomy. — My belly rumbles. — Let's order something to eat, while we wait, we pack your things.
And that's what we did, Lili always helped me and we had a lot of fun, it was with her that I learned to go to clubs, but I went more to take care of her and because of her insistence, even more after she broke up with Stan, she caught him with a girl who was studying medicine, it was one of her worst phases, he was her first boyfriend, first everything.
— Let's go to the coffee pot, Olga has arrived on a trip.
— I am tired. — I say.
— Come on Ayza, I promise not to stay too long.
— OK!
— I'm going to change clothes.
Olga is a model, who travels all over the world, we became known because of Lili. Yes, Lili is very influential and knows a lot of people.
I wear black high-waisted jeans, and a marsala-colored crop top, as my hair is dirty and I don't have to wash it, I decide to make a loose bun, apply red lipstick and I'm ready.
— Beach with white sand, blue and warm sea, a unique and passionate place; Look at this Picture! — Olga hands Lili the cell phone, I twist in my chair and look at what Lili is watching, it's a photo... And she looks stunning as always... — How cool! You look beautiful! — The only thing that comes out of Lili's lips.
