Kim's P.O.V
Aurora's behaviour has changed since she came back from her trip with Cy, she basically locked herself in her room till morning, aside from coming out to eat, but still. She won't even talk to me about it and I'm starting to wonder if I made the right decision by letting Cy back into her life or did I fuck up big time.
"Hey." I greet her surprised. "Did something happen at work?"
"Hi, no, why?" She scrunches up her face, confused.
"You're back early, you never come home this early."
"Oh well I figured that if I came home early that I would have enough time to get ready for my dinner with Cy." My eyes widen.
"Y-You're going out with Cy?"
"Yes. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you sure that you want to be out with Cy in public? I mean that is a lot." She looks at me, still confused.
"I know it might seem like we're moving a little too fast but we're not, Cy and I are just trying to find our own rhythm, our way."
"I get that but are you comfortable with all of this? Who he is, you guys being together or whatever you're doing?" Tilting her head she folds her arms.
"What do you mean 'who he is'?"
"A Cy is-" We're interrupted by her phone ringing.
"I'm sorry I have to take this." She says answering her phone and heading into her bedroom. It's been a while since she's been in there so I assume she's getting ready, well I guess she'll find out sooner or later.
Aurora's P.O.V
After my call with Amira I choose to start getting ready, Kim and I can finish our conversation later. After taking a quick shower I head into my closet and pull out my baby blue, one shoulder split thigh cocktail dress and pair it with my uplift white patent Steve Madden's. After finishing my makeup, I give my hair some curls then slip on my baby blue diamond necklace. Just when I finish getting ready I get a text from Cy telling me Eric is downstairs so I head out.
"K, I'm leaving." She comes out of her bedroom and gives me a squeeze.
"Have fun."
"I will." I say closing the door. Walking out I find Eric waiting for me with the door already open. "Thank you Eric." I say getting inside and he closes my door. "Do you know where we're going Eric?"
"It's a secret Miss." He says smirking and I just playfully roll my eyes. Finally stopping my eyes scope the building. "The Empire State Building?" Even then Eric doesn't humour me, all he does is accompany me to the rooftop where I find a beautiful romantic setting with a table for two right in the middle of it. And instead of there being other people there it's completely deserted, slowly walking out I smile to myself as I touch the large bouquet of red roses on the table. Lost in that moment I feel Cy's hands snaking around my waist and his cologne envelopes me, moving my hair aside and making me tilt my head he plants a soft yet alluring kiss behind my ear.
"Hi." I hear his captivating voice ring into my ear and it makes me breathe out heavily.
"Hello Cy." He turns me in his arms and puts his forehead on mine while slipping one of his hands into my hair. All I want to do right now is kiss him.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you." I say shyly looking away, how does he have this affect on me? Like the minute I'm in his presence he owns me, mind, body and soul. I can't even think straight.
"Eyes on me Angel." He says, I look at him and he smirks, letting go of me he pulls my seat and I sit down, he follows. A waitress serves us our food and we start eating. "How does it feel to be back?"
"I don't know, good I guess."
"You don't sound very convinced yourself." He observes me, making me even more nervous than I already am.
"I love being back at the office, that's for sure but I guess I miss the atmosphere Bora Bora provided me with, peaceful care free, you know. But I'll get used to it, again." I say smiling.
"Well you do live in the busiest parts of this city, no wonder coming back is unsettling to you."
"How did your meeting with your father go?" I pry and his mood immediately changes.
"We're not here to talk business." He quickly shuts me down.
"Well you're going to have to tell me eventually Cy." I reason.
"Eventually, yes, not now." Hearing the irritation in his voice I choose to let it go. After eating in silence for a while he looks at me again.
"I'm surprised the rooftop is deserted, usually there are quit a few people here."
"That's because I booked it out." I look at him shocked.
"The whole rooftop?" People can actually do that?!
"The whole building Aurora." I choke on my wine. The whole BUILDING?! Who is this man?
"T-The whole building? How did you manage to do that?" I ask taken aback and he just shrugs.
"I own sixty percent of it." How can he say it so carelessly, like it's the most normal thing in the world. Exactly who is this guy? Getting pulled from my thoughts Cy's phone rings. "I'm busy." He says about to hang up but his mood just changes out of the blue, he looks furious. "What?! How could you let this happen, you imbecile! Take care of it NOW!" He yells hanging up the phone.
"Is everything okay?"
"No, we need to go." He says getting up and taking my hand, heading to the elevator. I'm still shocked.
"What? Why?" He doesn't answer me and right when we exit Eric quickly pulls up and we get in.
"Eric go to Aurora's place." He orders.
"Yes sir." He speeds off and I turn to a very pissed and busy Cy.
"Cy what's going on?" Just then my phone now rings, oh God who is this, looking at the caller ID I answer immediately. "Harry?"
"I'm sorry to tell you this boss but your building is on fire and it looks like arson." My heart stops and my body becomes paralysed, I can't even grab my phone as I feel it slip through my fingers. Cy holds me trying to shake me out of this trans I'm in but I just can't seem to hear him.
"Aurora!" He yells out my name and I finally look at him. "What's wrong?"
"Someone burned down my building." I say with tears in my eyes. You can see the pain on his face but he doesn't look surprised. Why doesn't he look surprised?
"I know." He says pulling me to him and the tears fall.
