Aurora's P.O.V

As I lay in his arms, hearing his beating heart my heart flutters. It's these little moments with Cy that make me fall in love with him all over again but, I'm asking myself, will I lose him to her? I mean they have something Cy and I don't, history. Ours got taken away when he left. Even if they do have history and there are some things she might know about him that I don't, that won't stop me from fighting for him. I will do whatever it is that I need to do but I will not let her have him.

"What are you thinking about in that pretty head of yours?" He asks playing with my hair, I turn to him and smile.

"I want to tell you something." His eyebrows furrow and he turns to me so he can get a good view of my face.

"Okay, am I going to like it?" I gently shake my head. "What is it Aurora?"

"I bumped into Mia at a restaurant a while ago, and she basically told me that she wasn't going to give up on you just because you're with me." I sigh and his face turns stern.

"She showed up at the hotel when I was in Dubai as well, she told me the same thing." My eyes widen from shock. Which means when I left her she took a flight and went to Cy. How did she know where he was?

"Cy, Mia is beginning to become a problem." I say feeling a little irritated.

"I'll take care of it."

"No." I look at him with determination. "I will."

"Aurora-" He starts to complain but I make him hush by pecking his lips.

"I'll take care of it, don't worry." He keeps quiet and I take his silence as an agreement to let me handle it. After that Cy and I order takeaway and just talk. Before the baby we used to talk all the time but after what happened things took a standstill, especially between us. It does feel good to find our rhythm again though.

"What's left to do?" I look around then point upstairs.

"Our bedroom, your office, my office, the guest bedrooms and the bathrooms. Oh and outside, the garden is cute but I don't like it."

"Where will we sleep till everything gets done?" He asks chuckling and I smile shrugging.

"On the floor?" He hovers over me, looking at him he looks like a tall glorious building, brought on this earth to terrorise my steady heart. He shakes his head, smirking. "No?"

"No." I laugh. "How about we stay at Ritz-Carlton for the time being."

"Stay there and come here during the day?" He nods.

"Yeah, plus I think it's time Prescott and Soyer start driving you again." I open my mouth to protest but he shuts me down. "That's final Aurora." I close my mouth, throwing myself on the floor as I sigh loudly.

"Goodbye freedom." I say sadly and he just smirks. In a blink of an eye Cy's on top of me, kissing and sucking every inch of my lips. Wrapping my arms around him I pull him closer and in that moment, the memory of the day I woke up in our bed, at our old house seeing blood on the sheets, flashes through my mind. I don't want to but I subconsciously push him back.

"What's wrong?" He looks at me worriedly and I shake my head, giving him the realest smile I can master.

"Nothing." I sigh. "Let's go out tonight."

"Where do you want to go Angel?"

"Mm, surprise me." He gives me a kiss on the forehead.

"Alright, go get ready then."

"Okay!" Running upstairs, to our empty bedroom, I dash into the shower. It's a good thing I've been using this shower ever since we started getting the house ready because if not, I'd have to go to Kim and I's place. After my shower I search through my boxes and dig out my makeup set, this nice satin emerald green dress I have with a side wrap hem on the left and my black LV heels. Steaming the dress I hook it up by the door and start getting ready. I keep my makeup simple but sexy, comb my hair then do a sleek back low ponytail. Putting on my shoes, I look at myself through the bathroom mirror and smile. Just one last touch.

"Angel, you ready?" Cy yells from down the hall.

"Yes! Just putting on my necklace." Finding it I put on my emerald green necklace and feel Cy's hands behind me.

"Let me." He says taking the necklace.

"Thank you." Putting on my necklace he looks at me through the mirror. Hurry.

"You look beautiful." I blush then turn around and kiss him.

"You look very handsome. So where are we going?"

"It's a surprise remember." I smile at him, getting into the car Cy holds my hand as we head to wherever we're going, with me looking out the window. Thinking about our kiss I can't help but feel a tug in my chest. Whenever Cy and I get into the mood memories of the day we lost our baby flash through my mind, I don't know why but it just keeps happening. We haven't had sex since and I don't know if I should tell him or try talking to a professional about it. "Aurora." He calls my name like a command and I quickly turn to him.

"Hm?"

"I love you." He sounds so serious. "I can't live without you." His eyes won't meet mine because he's looking at the road but mine aren't, so I can't help but search his face.

"I love you Cy." I lean in and kiss his cheek. The rest of the car ride is silent. Arriving at the airport we head into the jet and take our seats. I wonder where he's taking me. As the plane takes off he signals me to come sit on his lap and I do. Wrapping his arms around my waist he pulls me closure and I lay my head on the crook of his neck.

"Why do I feel like there's something you're keeping from me?" I keep quiet. "Aurora-"

"I'm afraid that if I tell you, it will hurt you and I don't want to do that."

"I'd rather have your honesty." I look into his eyes then peck his lips.

"If where we're going there's dinner then I'll tell you over dinner. Okay?" He nods and I lay my head on him again.
