Aurora's P.O.V
A week ago ...
"What do you mean it's all over?" I ask Cy confused.
"We get to have our lives back." I smile.
"No more hiding?"
"Mhm, just you and me." I jump into his arms with a big smile on my face. It only hits me after a while as we cuddle on my office couch that we've been in here for hours and I'm pretty sure that my employees saw him burst in here. My cheeks turn crimson from embarrassment. "What is it." His groggy voice rings in my ears. I hide my face behind my hands like a little child.
"You stormed in here."
"Mhm."
"And kissed me."
"Mhm."
"And people saw us." I look at him.
"They did." He smirks. I dramatically exhale and he runs his fingers through my hair, making me relax. I love when he does that. "It's time you came out from hiding my little butterfly." And I new exactly what he meant.
Present Day ...
"Are you sure about this?" He asks and I nod, releasing a shaky breath. Looking into his eyes my heart steadies a bit, calming itself slowly. Right now we are currently behind the doors of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where a gala is being hosted in Cy's honour, for being named America's Youngest Billionaire. Behind these doors are the worlds most important and most influential people, along with numerous amounts of journalists/reporters who will be taking pictures of us from every angle. And, for the first time in my life, my name and face will be plastered on every magazine you can think of. The image I have been working so hard to keep hidden is finally being revealed, tonight. It all ends tonight but it also all begins tonight as well. I look at our security.
"Open the doors." I say calmly and Cy takes my hand.
"Steady baby, steady." He whispers to me, kissing the side of my head. The moment the doors open the silence disappears and the air is immediately filled with the noise of cameras flashing, people cheering and reporters shouting. It takes my eyes a while to adjust to the flashes but when I finally do I tug on Cy's arm and we enter the room. All eyes are on us as the crowd parts, letting us make our way to our seats with our security close by. Oh thank God, I think to myself when my eyes land on Kim, who is seated at our table along with Spencer. Sitting down I basically cling to her for dear life.
"Crushing me over here." She shrieks and I laugh nervously, letting go of her.
"Sorry, I'm just-"
"Scared to death?" She smiles. "I know honey, but it's going to be okay I promise. Just breathe, that's all you have to do." I nod.
"You're right. Thank you." Looking past her I wave my hand to Spencer. "Spencer." I smile and he smiles back.
"Anderson." Turning to Cy I pull him to me.
"Kim's here, thank you." I whisper into his ear, softly kissing his tattoo covered neck.
"Anything for you Angel."
"Ladies and gentlemen! If I may have your attention please." The presenter grabs our attention. I spent at least two days with Cy's team as we went over tonight's detailed event itinerary, so I know that first Cy is going to be presented with his award, after that is his speech, then he'll mingle with the wealthy, take a couple of pictures and then they'll serve the menu for tonight. I take a sip of my water. "Mr Kensington jnr. everybody!" They call him to the stage and everyone claps their hands and I feel him stand up.
"Aurora!" Kim whisper yells, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Hmm?" I look at her and she gestures to my left. Turning, I see Cy still standing by me with his hand extended to me and my eyes widen. "No." I mouth to him and his eyes darken as if telling to get my butt up and take his hand, so I do and we make our way onto the stage. Fuck my life! The presenter hands him the award and they shake hands. When he stands in front of the mic I stand a bit behind him to give him space so he can deliver his speech but, he snakes his arm around my waist and swiftly pulls me to him, placing me dangerously beside him.
"You'll have to excuse my little minx, she hates the public eye." He says and everyone laughs, my cheeks turn red at his new nickname for me, out of all things to call me right now! "I hate giving speeches as I'm sure you are all aware of so I'll keep it short and straight to the point. I can't say I'm honoured to be given this award because it's a tribute to what I have and not who I am but I will say that, I'm glad what I have allows me to do what I love, which is helping people. Thank you." He says walking off the stage and I follow, I try to leave before his meet and greet starts but he clings to me.
"Kensington, great speech!" I try not to laugh, Cy basically said this gala was a waste of time and this men is saying great speech. Nice.
"Bezos, thank you. Layla said you wouldn't make it." Bezos?! As in thee Bezos?? Never knew the face but I definitely know the name.
"Anything for you friend, a pleasure to meet you Miss." He turns his attention to me, I give him my hand to shake and he kisses it.
"Pleasure to meet you Mr Bezos." I smile politely.
"Jeff please!"
"Jeff."
"You are a lucky man Kensington. Such beauty, treat her right." He says, they hug and then he leaves. Cy knows so many people it blows my mind, he even knows Elon Musk! After mingling we finally make it back to our seats just as they serve the starters. With the night fading away so do my nerves, I mostly enjoy the food and my company of three but not so much the amount of people coming to me and asking me 'who I am, what I do or if Cy and I are really together. So this is what it's like being the centre of attention, exhausting.
"Angel, we're here." Cy says gently shaking me awake, fluttering my eyes open his house comes into view. He slips my shoes off, holding them, and takes me into his arms and I wrap mine around his neck, holding on. Kicking the door open he heads upstairs and gently puts me on the bed. I get up and get out of my dress, putting on one of his tee shirts then head to the bathroom, wash off my makeup and head into bed. After a while I feel him re-entering the bedroom and eventually get into bed.
"Today was nice, I didn't know how important you are." I whisper and he pulls me into his arms.
"You're the most important to me." He says kissing my cheek. I smile .
"Sooo cheesy." And he chuckles. I turn, looking at him. "You're the most important to me too." I kiss him and he kisses me back softly. Settling in his arms I fall asleep after we say goodnight.
