Aurora's P.O.V
It's been two weeks since I lost the baby and it hasn't been easy. The doctor told me that it'll take two weeks or more for my body to heal, and he was right. With every day that passed the pain got better, the blood that was coming out got less and my body was slowly going back to normal but, not my heart and certainly not my mind. Even if my body eventually forgets, I never will and that is the crushing reality of it all.
"Where do you want this Mrs Kensington?" How many times do I have to tell him that I am not married to Cy. Sighing I signal them to the living room.
"Right here." I say and they gently put down the white, wool material couch I ordered for the living room. "Can you guys cover it with something so it doesn't get dirty, thank you and Stevie."
"Yes ma'am?"
"Stop calling me Mrs Kensington!" I say through gritted teeth, hitting him with my magazine and we both chuckle. After I wouldn't move back into his house he told me he'd get our new home ready so we can live together again, but I asked him to let me do it. While I was at Kim's place, he was the one running everything at the office while he had to run his other businesses as well, I couldn't add more to his plate. Right now he's in Dubai, closing one of the biggest deals of his career and I want him to at least come home to a half finished house. Getting a call I quickly put down my paint brush and answer.
"Hi Angel."
"Hey, how's Dubai?"
"Lonely without you. How is the house coming along? Are you managing?" Always worried.
"I'm fine, everything is under control." Just then glass shatters. Of course it will.
"Aurora what was that? Are you alright?"
"Everything is fine Cy, one of the guys broke something by mistake, relax. When are you coming back?"
"In three days but I could always come back sooner." I shake my head.
"No, don't rush through anything. This deal is important, you've worked hard to get it so handle it carefully. If I need anything I'll call Kim or Ben." I can tell he's worried so I'm trying to put him at ease as much as I can. I know Cy, if he even suspects that something isn't right he'll throw caution to the wind and come home immediately.
"Okay, I have to go, our meeting is about to begin."
"Okay good luck and Cy-"
"Yes?" I press my lips together.
"I love you." I can feel my cheeks heating up.
" I love you baby." Hanging up I smile to myself. As days go by I find myself learning how to smile again. I'm glad.
"What broke?" I ask heading to the kitchen. After painting the wall in the dining area the painters finally show up, they couldn't get here sooner because their flight got delayed. I figured I'd start painting till they got here and I think I did a decent job. I leave everything else in their hands and head out of the house for a bit. Getting the house ready seems to be a good enough distraction but, it won't be forever and I'm starting to ask myself if I need to see someone or if I can handle this by myself. Heading into the city I choose to hop in one of the restaurants and grab lunch.
"This way please Miss Anderson." The waiter leads me to my table.
"Aurora?" I turn and see her.
"Mia."
Cy's P.O.V
"I'm really impressed with your work Mr Kensington and I am really looking forward to us doing business together." He says shaking my hand.
"Likewise Mr Sheikh."
"Please, join me for dinner." Agreeing, we head to the finest restaurant in Dubai, the whole time all I can think about is Aurora. "You seem troubled, could it be because of a woman?"
"That obvious?" We both chuckle.
"There is only one thing that can make a man make that face, and that is a woman. What's wrong?" I don't go into detail but scratch the surface in telling him what happened. "You, my friend, are an honourable man and a man in love."
"I am."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Right now, I don't know, all I know is that I want to be with her and make her happy."
"Can I offer you a word of advice?" I nod. "From what you've told me, I'd say you are already making her happy, if you weren't she wouldn't be with you. What you need to focus on is living your life with her right now, you cannot predict the future or prevent bad things from happening to you nor her, but you can enjoy your life with her, seize every opportunity." He's right, I've been so focused on wanting to always control everything around me that I haven't been living in the present.
"Wise words." We cheers to each other. "I'm assuming you don't have woman trouble." He laughs.
"I stopped having women trouble the day I married the love of my life. Now I am a happy man." My mind drifts off.
"Happy indeed."
Aurora's P.O.V
I'm uncomfortable, this is uncomfortable and I can tell she's uncomfortable too.
"I heard you bought a house." I nod, offering her a smile.
"I did yes."
"And you and Cy are moving in together." That sounded more like a question.
"We are yes." Her sigh comes out as a laugh and she nods.
"Did he tell you that I'm moving back to Paris?" I thought Cy said she wasn't. I shake my head.
"No he did not."
"I was supposed to go back sooner but because of the accident I had to stay here for a little while longer, Cy was supposed to come too but he chose to stay here with you." Exactly what have they told her about what happened to her? "He loves you." She sounds so sad saying it. "You are the first woman, other than me, that he lets get close to him which means you must be important to him. But-" She meets my eyes with a look of determination. "So am I."
"Excuse me?"
"I love him, I have for a long time so if you hurt him, trust me I won't hesitate to take him from you." I laugh, sighing. What is this feeling? I can feel it from the pit of my stomach. I size her down.
"You know what, I'm actually tired of this shit. Go fuck yourself Mia."
"What?"
"The only reason you even have access to him is because I deem it so. If Cy wanted to be with you he would have, I mean he had his whole fucken life to do so but he didn't because he does not love you. He loves me, always have and always will sweetheart so, I am going to tell you this once and I hope you hear me well because I won't say it a second time. Don't ever come near Cy again unless it's business related because if I ever even see you lay a finger on him, I will brutally beat you to death myself. I hope we're clear on that." I smile getting up. "Have a safe flight." Getting in the car I choose to just drive through McDonald's and head home. Gripping the steering wheel I clench my teeth. I'd done letting people take from me, like I'm some perfect patty. No one will ever take anything from me ever again. "I'll kill you if I have to."
