Destined for Revenge

Chapter 45

Aveliene's pov:

Vaughn has left for work before reminding me of the surprise. Although I kept on asking him to where he is taking me but he only smiled and say that its a special place, which further increases my curiosity and excitement.

Currently I am walking on the beach as the water crashes on the shore touching my bare feet, it's voice relaxes me. The wind gently carreses my skin I sighed then sat down, while hugging my knees as I watch the waves touching the seashore. It was late afternoon now, I sighed knowing that I still have to wait till the night to know about the surprise place.
I felt like someone tap my shoulder so I looked behind and saw Jeremy standing there. He gave me a charming smile and sat beside me.

"Hey Jeremy", I said.

"Hey Aveliene, actually I came here to know about you. I mean that day at the restaurant you stormed out looking sad so I just came to check upon you", he said in a concerned tone.

Although everything is finally good between me and Vaughn, I realized that I haven't talked to Jeremy since that day though it was not Jeremy's fault that Natalie is his sister.

"Thanks Jeremy for coming and I am really fine. It was just -" I searched for a reason as I don't want to hurt him by telling what Natalie tried to do.

"-I was feeling tired nothing much, but I am fine now", I said to which he slowly nodded.

"Good to know that", he said and gently smiled.

We sat there in silence while watching the sun slowly setting. It was getting cold so we stood up.

"So will you come inside?", I asked while gesturing towards the house.

"No, its fine, I don't want to cause you and Vaughn any problem", he said hesitantly. He is still intimidated with Vaughn.

"Come on Jeremy, you are my friend so there isn't any problem", I insisted to which he hesitantly nodded.

"Fine, if you are insisting", he said and I smiled. We than went inside the living room while Jeremy looked around.

"You really have a nice house Aveliene", he said while admiring as we reached the living room.

"Wait here I will bring you some juice", I said and went inside the kitchen. I quickly poured the juice in the glass and made my way towards the living room.

Jeremy was looking outside through the French glass walls as the stars began to twinkle in the sky.
I passed him the juice to which he muttered a "Thank you", we then stood there silently.

"Well I am returning next weekend, back to Seattle." He said while looking at me. To which I nodded didn't know what to say.

"Thanks for your company Aveliene I really enjoyed here. I don't know how would I have spended the vacation here if you weren't there", he said with a smile.

"It was a pleasure to spend time with you too Jeremy. I also enjoyed alot", I said with a sincere smile.

He then told me about his college life in seattle as time flew. We talked and laughed till I heard the door being opened. Our laughter stopped as we both turned and saw Vaughn. He gave me a smile but it faded as soon as he saw Jeremy beside me.

"Hey Vaughn", Jeremy said with a smile and extended his hand for him to shake. Vaughn folded his arms on his chest.

"Hi", he said arrogantly. Jeremy nervously took his hand back. Vaughn then turned to me and smiled and slid his arm around my waist while I was still startled by his different act.

Jeremy shifted uncomfortably on his feet.

"Well I will see you later, Aveliene. It was nice spending time with you", he said and gave me a small smile.
