FALLEN

Chapter Twenty

Aurora's P.O.V

Mm I really can't decide between the white and black bikini set, finally choosing the white one I put it on then throw on a gold fishnet dress on top. I look myself over in the mirror, the way the white bikini clings around my body with its different strings and how the gold fishnet dress hugs my body, stopping mid thigh, I look good, really good. After tying my hair up I apply some clear lipgloss and walk downstairs, holding my wedges in my hand. I find Kim already ready just waiting for me.

"Ready." I say to her giving her look a thumbs up and she giggles like a school child.

"Look at you! I love it." And we laugh, turning I see Cy coming downstairs and our eyes meet, he looks me over, as if drinking me in and when our eyes meet again I see the darkness in his, making me blush. He comes straight to me and I follow his hand with my eyes as it goes to my hair and pulls on my scrunchie, ugh! He lowers his lips to my ear.

"You look good enough to eat angel." He whispers to me before leaving. After Kim gives Spencer a kiss and I almost barf, we go onto the boat and the captain drives off. I can't help but space out while looking at the endless sea, clearly I have a lot on my mind but I choose to push it to the back of my head and focus on the now. I've never been on a yacht before but now that I have I don't think this'll be my last time. Of course Kim has, I almost choked when she told me that she owns one too and how Spencer bought it for her. We eventually settle in front of the boat and help each other with applying some sunscreen then lay on our chairs,  just soaking up the sun. A woman who, apparently is our waitress, serves us Champaign along with a tray of different fruits, cheeses and other goodies.

"Isn't this wonderful." Kim gushes and I hum in response.

"It really is nice." We spend hours talking, laughing, eating and drinking Champaign. She fills me in on what's been going on between her and Spencer and about their trip to Spain, I want to hate him but seeing how happy he makes her makes it hard to and I see it now. Even though I don't trust him I have to give him a chance, for her, and if he hurts her then I'll kill him.

"I know you don't like him but he makes me happy." She smiles at me.

"I'm happy for you Kim, really." I give her hand a reassuring squeeze.

"So how are things with Cy?" When she asks this I just go silent for a while. Spending time out here with Kim I guess I forgot about Cy for a little bit. 

"What do you want me to say?"

"I want you to tell me the truth." She turns to me.

"The truth is I don't know, I mean one minute I'm okay and happy, living my life in New York and then the next thing I know he's back in my life and everyone is pushing me towards him. First Ben with the ambush in his office and now you, kidnapping me and making me do the one thing I said I never wanted to do. You being on his side? I mean what's up with that? This is all just too much Kimberly."

"You must be really mad if you're calling me Kimberly." She sighs crossing her legs.

"A I'm sorry, you're right, I should have told you what was really going on with this trip to Bora Bora, but I also knew that if you knew the truth you would have never come and trust me when I say that I'm not on anyone's side but yours. I just need you to trust me and give Cy a chance, I know what I'm saying sounds crazy but please, as time goes on you'll see that he's not the villain we painted him out to be." I know Kim and I know that she hated Cy as much as I did, if not more, so her asking me to do this must've been challenging for her and I just have to trust that she knows what she's talking about. I just can't help wondering, what does she know that I don't?

"I'll try." I say not making any promises and she smiles.

"That's all I'm asking for." We spend a little more time together before deciding to head back, arriving at the house we get there just in time for Harper to serve dinner.

"Just in time, dinner is almost ready." She informs us.

"Thank you Harper, I'm just going to take a quick shower." Running up the stairs and entering the bedroom I quickly strip out of my clothes, leaving on my underwear, and head into the bathroom. "Oof!" I say bumping into a hard chest and falling on my bum. Looking up to see Cy who has one towel wrapped around his lower body and another in his hand as he dries his hair, I can't help but shamefully envy the water droplets that still cling to his body.

"You okay angel?" He asks offering me his hand and I take it, getting up. I just nod and watch him eye me hungrily.

"I didn't know you were in the sh-" He stops me mid sentence.

"I suggest you cover yourself up unless you want me to devour that alluring body of yours." Only when he says this do I remember that I'm half naked, I quickly wrap a towel around my body and dash into the bathroom, closing the door. My cheeks burn up in embarrassment and I cover my face with my hands.

"Idiot." I whisper yell to myself. After my shower I throw on a black bodysuit and blue shorts then put on my fuzzy socks, heading downstairs. "This looks delicious Harper, thank you." I say sitting down and she bows, leaving us. Cy pours me a glass of scotch and I thank him. "Kim I was thinking that tomorrow we could go shopping, what do you think?"

"I'd love to A but I can't." I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why not?"

"Because we're leaving." She says awkwardly.

"Oh well when's our flight?" She softly hits her forehead.

"A, I don't think you understand. I'm leaving with Spencer." My eyes widen with shock. My head slowly turns and looks over at Cy.

"No." Like a fish, my mouth opens and closes but no words come out and when I look at Kim she looks at me with sympathy. Fuck.
