I Am Coming For You!

"What is this, Brinley?" Mr. Moretti asked her. Brinley looked down at her feet and sighed, as if gaining strength to speak up.

"I'm going! To Dubai!" She exclaimed like a robot. Mrs. Moretti rubbed her forehead and sighed.

"Brinley it is very late right now. Please go to sleep. You need to get your injuries healed before we can think of you going out of the country." Grace said. Brinley was not ready to take a no for her answer.

"I'll not sleep and eat until and unless I'm given the permission to go to Dubai!" Brinley exclaimed and huffed stubbornly. Xavier chuckled and patted her head.

"You want to go?" Xavier asked her. She nodded her head agreeing in response. Xavier signalled Derek. Derek instantly understood what he was trying to convey and went in his room to pack up.

"Only for 15 days. With one condition. Stick like a magnet with your brother." Xavier said in a stern voice.

"You're coming with me?" Brinley asked, to which Xavier shook his head. "Derek will come with you. He has few days holiday before start of new semester." Derek came out with one suitcase, all packed up, with a big frown on his face.

"I will become a third-wheel between these lovebirds, for sure." Derek muttered, making Mr. Moretti cough.

"Take care of my daughter or else I'll break your legs." Mr. Moretti said while taking his wife to their room. Derek scoffed and Brinley hugged Xavier.

"Thank you Fratello... please give him a chance when he comes back with me..." Brinley said in a low voice. Xavier didn't respond to her request, but just patted her back softly while hugging his sister.

"C'mon, it's getting late, or just let me go to sleep in my room." Derek said in an annoyed voice. Brinley took one of her suitcase, Derek took the rest of the bags, and they left for the airport. Xavier had arranged a private jet for them previously, as it was his plan to send Brinley to Dubai with or without Adam for them to reunite. Xavier would never fire Adam from work, he was his brother after all, he has supported Xavier all the time in everything he did.

'Just you wait, Adam, I won't let you get separated from our family because of my stupidity. I am coming for you! Even if you don't want to be in a relationship with me... we could just be friends like before, I'm happy with whatever decision you make. Just be safe.' Brinley silently thought and prayed to god for his safety.

~At Allen house~

"Amelia! Wake up! You're late for your university!" Gianna shouted from the kitchen while making breakfast. "Yeah... I'm up." Amelia came out of the room in a very tired manner.

"What is it? Why do you sound so tired?" Gianna asked Amelia while coming out of the kitchen. Amelia became alert and moved a little away so that Gianna couldn't come near her. Amelia was scared she might inhale her wound scent or ointment scent and might come to know about her fight last night.

"N-no! I'm okay, just having a fatigue from all the college work and stuff." Amelia stuttered while talking, making Gianna even more suspicious. But just then the doorbell rang, Gianna slowly went to the door while Charlie barked, sensing who it was behind the door. It was 'The' Gretta!

"Oh, Welcome, Ms. Gretta please come in." Gianna was very smart, she recognized Gretta instantly by her perfume. Gretta came inside their apartment and sat on the couch. Amelia had already made a scrunched face looking at her and went ahead to shower.

"Ms. Allen, here is the rent payment for this month." Gretta said, offering Gianna an envelope while she was pouring tea in a cup for her. Gianna got confused and tilted her head.

"Ms. Gretta why are you giving me rent payment so early, it's not the end of the month yet." Gianna asked her, but she heard a sigh.

"Ms. Allen actually my husband is getting transferred to New Jersey, so I have to shift with him, so I can't run this shop anymore. I know it is very sudden, and the contract has not yet been finished, but do not worry about that. This is the whole year rent payment, I apologize for all the inconveniences." Gretta said, making Gianna even more shocked.

"Ms. Gretta the contract can be cancelled. There is no need to give me a whole year payment." Gianna said.

"No, no, it's fine. Keep it Ms. Allen, I hope Ms. Amelia also forgive me for being rude all the time. It has been quite a long time since I had run the shop now I want to rest. This money is what I collected as a hobby. My husband already earns a lot and my son is married and has a job. So keep it as a gift from me." Gretta smiled and finished her cup of tea.

"I love your tea. You should open your shop again, so I could come to visit your coffee shop like before. Okay, it's time for me to go." Gretta said while standing up.

"You had previously visited my coffee shop?" Gianna asked her.

"Yes, it was a few years ago like... 3 or 4 years ago? You were so young back then, now you have become a beautiful woman." Gretta said and left from their apartment.

Amelia came out with her bag after taking a quick bath. She quickly had her breakfast without speaking much with Gianna and left. Gianna found it strange, still she let it go.

--In the Airplane--

"Ugh, I'm so bored... now I can't tease Amelia anymore. What am I supposed to do between you both lovebirds!?" Derek whined and Brinley sighed. Brinley took out her headphones from her purse and started listening to songs. Derek groaned and rubbed his hair. Suddenly an idea came into his nutty head.

"I could just send Amelia a ticket to Dubai, she can come here, right? But how am I supposed to convince her..." Derek muttered and drifted in thought. He decided to call her.

"Hello? Amelia... Are you free right now?" Derek asked her when she picked up his call.

"No." Amelia cancelled the call instantly.

"How rude!" Derek exclaimed and called her again.

"Hey! Why did you cancel the call so soon! You have to talk to me right now even if you're busy, I don't care, okay?" Derek said in an annoyed voice as soon as she picked up his call again.

"Are you trying to order me right now!? I am not your employee or slave, alright? Keep your bullsh*t orders with you." Amelia huffed after shouting in her phone. Derek just chuckled.

"Now, can you spit out the reason you disturbed me... I am quite busy, you know? Unlike someone." Amelia said and scoffed. Derek sighed as if preparing to ask her something.

"Amelia... will you come to... Dubai for few days?" Derek said in a slight, low voice, enough for Amelia to listen and drop all her stuff she was carrying.

"What!? Are you insane!? No wrong question, you already were. Have you lost your sense!?" Amelia said in surprise.

"What? What's wrong with my proposal, it's quite an enticing offer, right?" Derek said in a confused voice.

"You idiot! You might have vacations right now, but I f.cking have lectures daily! My semester is not over yet! And I have to stay with Gianna too, how am I supposed to leave her alone for a few days and go so far away from her!? You just care about yourself and your needs! How selfish of you! Just ask any of your friends if you are so bored!?" Amelia shouted, making Derek rub his hair in frustration.

"Okay. You just had to say no. But no, you had to lecture me about how selfish I am. Alright. You know what? It was my mistake to even think of calling you. I just wanted to have fun with you in Dubai, we could have spent a fun time. But no. I feel relief that you said no. Go to hell. Bye." Derek said in a stern voice, and this time he was the one to hang up the call without waiting for her to reply.

Derek soon groaned as he realized how rude he sounded. Whereas Amelia looked down on her feet and started picking up her stuff and sighed. Amelia thought she shouldn't have spoke with him like that. Both were feeling sorry about how rude they were to each other.

Amelia opened her messaging app and sent "I'm sorry for being rude." to Derek, but she was shocked when she received the same message from him at the same time. Both then sent a laughing emoji.

"If you're going, enjoy. It's impossible for me to come with you right now." Amelia typed and sent it to him.

"It's alright. Maybe next time in our honeymoon." As soon as he sent this to Amelia, sent, "Shut up. Jerk." and she blocked his number. They both smiled thinking about each other.

(The screen splits with both of them faces smiling.)

--At Le Fiamma Del Mondo office--

"Hmm... I miss Gianna... it has been quite a few days since I met her..." Xavier muttered silently. He called his assistant in the office. The assistant bowed as soon as he entered.

"What's my schedule today?" Xavier asked in a stern voice.

"Capo, we have a meeting with our clients in the noon and a dealing for arms at night during a dinner party." The assistant informed his schedule, making him sigh silently as if he was upset.

"Okay, annulla tutte le mie riunioni e le mie offerte per domani." Xavier said and waved his hand, telling him to go.

(Trans: Okay, cancel all my meetings and deals for tomorrow.)

"Now I have to wait until tomorrow, so I could see her..." Xavier said, and went back to his work on his laptop.

--At Allen house--

"Charlie! Sit. Why're you so overexcited today? Sit." Gianna said while Charlie was woofing and trying to get over her and lick her all over her face. Gianna giggled as she felt ticklish with him licking her face.

"You want to tease, huh? Let me show you how to tease." Gianna exclaimed and rubbed his fur under his neck, making him feel ticklish too. Charlie woofed and hoped away from her. Gianna and Charlie again played around for some time and both went to nap together after some active exercise.

(The screen splits into two, with Xavier working hard and Gianna sleeping like a baby.)
