Aurora’s POV

After our date last night and the little incident that happened afterwards, Dian drove back to the mansion.

He kissed me goodnight and walk away to his room.
I was grateful that he left because I was really tired.

This morning I woke up with a pang of headed.
My head felt like it has been hitting on some heavy object.

I step down from the bed after five minutes of trying to ease the pain.
I walk inside the bathroom and do my morning routine.

After washing my hands I walk back inside my room and opened the door to my closet.

I picked up a pink hoodie and a black high waisted jeans.
I wore them before putting on a lip balm.

I walk out of the room after picking up my phone.
I glance at my phone and I nearly screamed out.

Why are there so many missed calls?
I checked my call log and checked how many times she called.

Ten times!
What’s going on?

I dial her number and placed the phone beside my ear.

After the third ring she picked up.

📲Hey📲

📲Aurora what the f**k has come over you, I get that you’re dating that guy now but why can’t you come and visit your father?

You completely forgot about him and me! She yelled that I have to remove the phone from my ear in other not to spoil my eardrum.

📲I’m sorry Arielle, I’m totally sorry. I’ll come visit today I promise.📲

📲Whatever.📲she hanged up on me.

I’m truly sorry, I don’t really know what has come over me.
I climb down the stairs and met Tina making a call beside the wall leafing to the sitting room.

She saw me and smiled at me before hanging up.

“Good morning.” I greeted her with a lopsided smile.

“Hey Aurora, how was your night babe? She asked.

My night was fabulous!

“My night was awesome.” I said and giggled.
She nodded and concentrate more on her phone.

I guess she is busy, she’s a celebrity anyway.

I walk inside the kitchen and saw Mrs Russell already preparing breakfast.

“Good morning Mama.” I greeted.

“Oh good morning my child, how was your night? She asked with a smile as she drop the spatula inside the sink and turned to face me.

“My night was awesome Mama.” I replied her with a smile.

“That’s good, I’m making lasagna for breakfast. Will you like some? She asked.

“I’ll love it, it smells good.” I complements.
I pick a glass cup from the shelf and pour some water inside it.

Gosh I’m so famished.

After drinking the water I dropped the cup on the counter and turned to face Mrs Russell.

“I’ll go check up on Dian to see if he’s awake now.” I said and she nodded.

I walk out of the kitchen and pass by Tina again. This time she wasn’t making any calls, she was in a deep thoughts that she didn’t even noticed me.

I climb up the stairs thinking about if Dian is awake or not.
I’d know if I should take permission from him to go see dad.

Even though the school is on a little break for Summer holiday I still have to ask because I’m still working for them.

I got to his door and knock gently on it.
I place my ear beside the key hole and keep calm to know if he’s awake.

But there was no movement.
Maybe he is still sleeping.

I walk off and contemplate on checking up on Bobby.
I knocked on his door and few seconds later I heard his raspy voice.

“Who is at the door?

“It’s Aurora.” I said and bite on my lip.
It has been a long time I last hard a private conversation with Bobby.

The fact that he keep avoiding me this past week or should I saw that he just placed himself as the introvert one.

Few minutes later I really thought that he’s not going to open the door but he later did.

“Can I come in? I asked as I made eye contact with him.

He nodded and push the door wide enough for me to pass through.

I walk inside his room and sat down on the bed.
It was awkwardly silent for awhile that I don’t even know what to say.

“What are you doing here? He asked and I chuckled nervously.

“What do you mean….this is not the first time I’ll be here in your room.” I reasoned.

“Yea, but this is the first time for the past month.” He sneered.

“I just want to know what’s is wrong with you Bobby, you’ve been acting different unlike before.” I said and he furrowed his eyebrows.

“You are the one acting different here Aurora.” He fired.
I feel like we’re two siblings trying to prove that we’re both right.

“How do you mean?

“Ever since you and Dian started dating you forgot about every other thing. You ignored everyone that used to be there for you. When was the last time you visited you dad? He shouted.

Bobby has never been angry with me.
Even though I know that he is right but I also feel like there is something else he wasn’t saying.

“Bobby…..”

“No Aurora, I feel pike the third wheel. I’m not saying that you should ignore your boyfriend but come on. I was there for you too, I’m your friend, you should always check up on me ‘AS A FRIEND’ not just your boyfriend.” He said and opened his bathroom door.

Why do I feel so shattered by what he just said?

Is what Bobby just said true?

Am I so occupied with Dian that I couldn’t think of anybody else?

After my conversation with Bobby i felt really bad, it’s actually true.

I’ve been ignoring the ones that were there for me before Dian accepted me.
They stood by my side but suddenly I forgot them.

“I’m sorry Bobby, I truly am,” I said crying.
I have been a bad friend, i wasn’t there when he needed me.

“Don’t cry Aurora, I don’t like it,” he said as he walk towards me with a smile on his face.

Well that’s a good sign.
I haven’t see him smile for awhile now.

I clean the ball of tear that roll down my cheek with my thumb and sniffed in.

“So, what’s up with you and Tina?” I asked, a mischievous smile creeping up on my face.

“What do you mean?” He queried with a slight frown.

Seeing his frown I wiped away the smile on my face and replaced it with a confused look.

I don’t understand the reason for his frown but I know that he doesn’t like it when I mention Tina’s name.

“I mistakenly heard you both arguing two weeks ago in your room,” I said sincerely.
He furrowed his and I chuckled nervously.

I don’t like it when someone looks at me as if I’m a creepy clown.

He sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose and pull up a chair and sat in front of me.

“I loved her,” he whispered and shook his head as if he have said something wrong.

“Hell I still love her_ but I’m tired of going after her,seriously I’m tired of being referred to a kid anytime I did.” He said brokenheartedly.

“Do you know if she love you too? I asked.
It is really sad.

It hurts when someone you love doesn’t reciprocate the love back.

Bobby’s story hurt me because Tina still view him as a kid.

I mean who call a f**king grown up man a kid?

“Love?” He asked and chuckled bitterly.

“Not in my dreams,she’s always taunting me. Sometimes I wonder how I felled in love with a crazy ass woman like her,” he said and smiled at his choice of words.

“Whenever I look at her, I feel like loved. She makes me happy and sad at a time. Whenever I see her I became happy bit when she open that little mouth of hers, she always use it to either mock my feelings for her or something else.” He said and stood up from the chair.

“I’m sorry Bobby,” I mumbled and stood up from the bed as well.

“She never will,” he whispered audibly and I gasped.
Tears were already in his eyes.

He really love her.

“I don’t know if I can get over her Aurora, it has been six years but I still can’t move on. My heart want her, I need her.” He said and chuckled bitterly for the second time today.

“Don’t worry Bobby, I’m sure she loves you too. Just as much as you do,” I assured him but he wasn’t buying my sweet talks.

He glance at his watch and sigh.

“We’ve an interview this morning , I’ll go have my bath now.” He said and turn around with a puffy eyes.

“Okay, I’ll just go check up on Dian.” I said and walk towards the door.
I held the door knob tightly before turning around just as he was about to enter the bathroom.

“Don’t be down because of her Bobby, I want my friend back.” I encouraged him with a smile.

He returned the smile before I turned the knob and walk out of the room.

“Where is the interview taking place?” I asked Dian as I sat down on the bed laying down on my back, my two hands served as a pillow below my head.

I walk inside Dian’s room few minutes ago and found him rubbing his lip balm.
He was all dressed up in a onion pink tailored suit and a white shirt which was button up to his Adam apple.

“At Joong’s radio station.” He whimpered struggling with his shirts hand button.

I stood up from the bed and walk up to him.

“Let me,” I whispered and hold on his hand.

I button it up and stare at him.

“You look handsome, so delicious,” I whispered, my lip suddenly became dry causing me to lick my lip.

“If I were you I’ll stop doing that sweetheart,” he whispered near my ear and bite on my earlobe.

I gulped down a fake saliva and make space between us.
I rub my hand on my neck and look at him.

“I’ll be visiting my dad today,” I said and sat back on the bed.

“You’re not going alone Baby, I’ll arrange the guards that will follow you.” He said and picked his phone.

He dial a number and place it on his ear.

📲I need four guards that will follow my girlfriend out today manager Kim, in fact send all the twenty guards back to the mansion before twenty minutes📲

Twenty guards?
Well that is huge.

“Thank you Dian.” I said with a cheeky smile.

His eyes glittering while staring down at me.
I just love this man.

Apart from his hot body and delicious face, I love everything about him.

“I love you so much,” I added.

“Just as much as I do sweetheart,” he replied and pull me in for a slow, steamy passionate kiss.

My heart beat picked up, and all of a sudden my body feel hot.

I feel so giddy and needy.

I wanted to touch him, feel his bare skin on mine.
I wanted to see him wrap his hand around my waist.
I wanted to see him peppering kisses on my face.

I wanted to wake up getting to see his delicious face first every morning and late at night.

Will my dream ever come true?
Can we be something else apart from boyfriend and girlfriend?

I feel like I’m having an hopeless romantic dream right now.

He doesn’t even see any future with me.

My body tensed up as reality struck me.

“Why are you crying?
