Chapter 14

Ava

As soon as I opened the door. There was a loud noise and I immediately held my head down, pressing my hands against my ears. I closed my eyes because I wasn't ready to see what is going to happen next.

I knew this was a bad idea. I imagined it to be some goon who trapped us or a hidden bomb that had gone off. I had to open my eyes sometimes so taking a deep breath I opened my eyes and what I saw was nothing I anticipated.

In front of me was a big hall well decorated with lights and balloons. On the first floor stood a banner HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA. There was a massive chocolate cake in the middle of the room underneath the big chandelier. Austin, Liam, Rosie, Richard, and Allan stood surrounding the cake. Kathy and Silver went and stood beside them. Claire and Aria were there too. That means.

"Happy Birthday Ava." I hear a whisper in my ear and I didn't need to turn around to see who it was. I felt a tingling sensation on my neck as I felt his warm breath on the nape of the neck. I turn my face to him and he comes in front of me smiling.

That means he never went to LA and all of that were lies. Silver and Kathy taking me to the club and his sudden meeting in LA was all planned. Everything was intended.

I was overwhelmed. Never in my life, I had celebrated my birthday. It was just like a normal day like others. The day which I dreaded the most but now I have people who love and care for me and I couldn't ask for more.

"So did you like my surprise?" He asks as he looks at me expecting a reaction."I was not expecting this. Thank you so much for this, David."

I was getting all teary but I managed to control them in.

David held my hand taking me to the table where the cake was placed. Everyone started singing Happy birthday and clapped as I cut the cake. I take a piece of cake and fed David with my hands and he did the same.

Everyone came in individually wishing me and giving me gifts.

It was unnecessary because their presence was enough. The others were talking and eating snacks and cake.

I went outside to get some fresh air. I stand outside holding the railing looking at the sea when David comes and stands beside me in the same position as me."Don't be overwhelmed. This is just the gist of the surprises to come. I have more surprises for you tomorrow."

"There is more. I can't wait. Thank you, David, for all of this. I didn't expect it at all. I forgot about my birthday and you remembered. I am so so happy. I love you so so much."

I kissed him and then wrap my arms around him. I was so so happy that I couldn't express it.

We pull back looking back at the sea talking. I was looking at the sea but I could feel his gaze on me and that made me smile. "You remembered," I ask him as he says.

"How can I forget your birthday? I am good at surprises I guess."

"Good job, Mr. Smith. You did well by surprising me." Everyone left as David had some surprises for me tomorrow and he didn't want me tired out. We left soon later and after reaching home we went off to sleep.

The Next Morning (5 am)

The next morning, I heard my alarm clock, and as soon as I open my eyes. I saw David standing in front of me. All ready. Wearing a casual shirt and shorts. I sit up on the bed and look at him confused. Then I take a look outside. It was still a bit dark so I checked my phone. It was 5 in the morning.

I was so sleepy that I squint my eyes to look at him yawning again and again. "Good morning Sunshine. We don't have time. We need to leave. Go get ready."

"It's 5 in the morning. Where are we going?"

I say yawning. I look at him. How can he look so refreshed after three hours of sleep? I may be half asleep but I was concentrated on what he was saying. I wanted to know where he was taking me.

"It's a surprise."

If that's the case, David. I am going to get it out of you. I get up from the bed and put my arms around my neck. I look up at his eyes giving a soft smile. I tiptoe to match his height and against his. He thought I  was about to kiss him but not doing it got him annoyed.

I pull him close to me and whisper in his ear. I could feel him reacting as his heartbeat got faster second by second.

I kiss his cheek and then slowly moved to his lips and stopped. I look up to him with our faces inches away from kissing each other. I look up to his eyes and in a slow voice I whispered"So you won't even give me a hint, Mr. Smith."

"As much as I want to give in and tell you everything. I won't."

He is difficult. I plant soft kisses on his neck and cheek. He sighs trying to control himself. This will break him for sure.

Damn it! He can control himself.

"Fine. Now I won't talk to you."

I take my arms off him and turn around with my back facing him. I hear the footsteps after me as David places his arms around my neck hugging me from behind and then he rests his head on my shoulder and I caved in.

"Ava, As much as I hate you frown like that. It will ruin my surprise."

He says and I could hear the sadness in his voice. I survived the night. I guess I can wait for some more time."Fine. It better be worth it."

"Are you doubting me Sunshine?" He turns me around and looks at me with doubt. I smiled at him

"No, I am not."

"Dress light. We are already late." He says tapping his finger on his watch. I growl looking at him.

"I can go only when you leave me." He laughs"Oh yeah."

I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. Dress light maybe we are traveling. I wear a white hoodie with black track pants. I wear white sneakers and I was ready. I went downstairs and David was standing outside loading the suitcases.

I look at him without calling him. He had his shirt pulled over his arms as he picks up the suitcase and keeps it in the car. I look at his flexed muscles. He does nothing yet looks appealing to mere eyes.

He turns around "You look lovely. Let's go."

"Yeah. I can't wait anymore." I exclaimed. We sat in the car driving to our destination which is supposed to be a surprise. What has David planned this time? I was excited to see what he has planned. Yesterday was a blast.

Halfway on the way to the surprise. David ties a blindfold so that I can't guess where we are heading. After a few minutes we reached, David stops the car and gets down. He opened the door for me and gave me his hand helping me get out of the car. Then he takes off my blindfold from my eyes. I was not getting it. We were standing in front of a jet.

"Why are we standing in front of this jet?"I was a bit confused. I saw a jet in front of me. I was wondering what are we doing here?

He had a smile on his face and he says."Because the jet is mine and we are going to Paris."

"Is this some joke? You can't be serious. Wake me up. This is a dream. This has to be a dream."

I couldn't believe my ears when he said we were going to Paris. Paris. He said Paris right. Or did he says something else? When he said he had surprises lined up for me. I didn't expect this at all.

"No, you are not dreaming Ava."

I immediately jump into his arms. I was overjoyed. He does all these things and makes me so happy. Our first date, yesterday night and now Paris.

When did I get so lucky to have found him?

I was over the moon. I always wanted to go to Paris, the city of Love. I always dreamed of going to Paris and David, I can't tell enough about how happy I am. My excitement had no boundaries.

"I can't believe we are going to Paris. I always wanted to go there."

He says while still holding me in his arms."I will never get used to your sudden hugs. I peeked in your diary by accident."

I get taken back. He read my diary. Oh no! I hope he didn't read it all.

"Hey hey hey. You read my diary. There are personal things in there."

"I didn't read the whole thing but I read the part where you wrote about me. About how hot, handsome, and sexy I am and how you cannot stop thinking about me."

He smirks. There was a mischievous glint in his wink and he gives me a wicked smile. Now I feel so embarrassed. He must have read everything. God knows what he read. "Now we are late. We should leave."

"You can't avoid this conversation forever but let's go." I walk away from him and David follows yelling from behind. I jump in excitement. I cannot stop smiling.

"I am going to Paris. Yippee"

"Yes, we are..."

(What happens in Paris? Ava is excited to go there. What has David planned for their trip?)
