Aaron pov

"Mom please. It's only for tonight." I begged her. "Alvaro Aaron Rodríguez. Do you realize what your asking. I lost your father, I can't lose you too." She said sobbing. "Mom please don't cry. We've put an end to all our sorrows. There's no need for you to shed tears. Beside no one here knows my true identity so there's no need to worry. I promise I'll be back home by the lates 8:30." I assured her and she nods.

"I love you Alvaro." "I love you too mama." I said kissing her cheeks and left. Good thing I told Heather 5 because I have more than enough time to spend with her. I gave the location to my driver Francis.

Less than 30 minutes I was standing out side of her house. It was now 4:58pm when I checked the time so I'll just wait the two minutes. Three minutes later I'm knocking on her front door. "Coming!" A lady yelled from the other side.

"Can I help you?" She asked as soon as she open the door. "Yes, I'm here to pick up Heather." I told her. "Aren't you a little too old for my neice." She said looking me from head to toe. "I assure you ma'am, I'm of the right age of Heather. I'm only 17 you know." I told her.

"17 huh. What's your name?" She asked. "My name is Aaron. And you?" I asked. "Carly. Make sure your not toying with my niece's heart. I hear your accent so I know your not from around here." She said then left.

She's a blunt one, not long Heather stepped outside. She was breathtakingly beautiful, she had a yellow dress that reach her knees, her hair was straightened and sweep to the side exposing the other side of her neck, her plump lips had on lip gloss and she had a butterfly nose ring on the right side, she had some lashes and light make-up, she made me feel under dress.

"Hey." She said in her soft voice. Just the thought of her makes my mouth dry. "Hey. You look beautiful." I told her and she smiles. "Thank you, you don't look bad yourself. Sorry about my aunt earlier." "It's ok. Are you ready?" "Yes." She said and I held her hand to the car. I open the door for her and she thanks me then I enter. Once she was settled she greets my driver.

"Did you hire a driver for tonight?" She asked and I smilled. "No, his name is Francis and he's my personal driver." I told her and she looked at me for awhile then nods. Less than a hour later we pulled up to the restaurant. I got out of the car and then open the door for her. "After you princesa." I said as I held the door open for her. Her heels click on the tiles as we enter the restaurant. "Goodnight sir and madam. Do you have a reservation?" The host asked us.

"Yes, under the name Lopez." I told him as he checked his list. "Right this way please." He said then leads us to a table set for two at the back away from windows. "Here you go Sir. Please enjoy the rest of your evening." "Thank you." I said as he walked away. "This place is beautiful, I've never been here before." Heather said once were seated. "Yea it is beautiful. I've never had a reason to come here so this is my first time also." I told her.

"So how did you manage to pay for a fancy place like this? Did your father pay for it for you?" She asked. "Sadly, my father passed awat two years ago." I told her looking down. "I'm so sorry about that." "It's ok. He left some money for me. I used some of it to pay for tonight." I told her, I mean it's half the truth. "You didn't have to do that Aaron." She said, gosh I love when she says my name. "It's no problem." I told her.

"Hello. I'm your server for tonight." A girl said looking directly at me. "Can I get you anything. And I mean anything." She said pushing out her chest and battering her lashes. I looked at Heather and she looked completely unbotherd with her flirting with me. I cleared my throat then place my order. "Could I have lobster tails with fried rice and a cup of the blueberry cocktail." I told her.

"And for me I would like crab cake, small sea food boil and the strawberry cocktail with ice please." She told her, will she eat all that? "I'll be right back, don't wait too long." She said winking at me. "Were you flirting with her?" She asked once she left. "What, no I wasn't." I told her, was she jealous. "Good. So tell me about your self Aaron Lopez." She said.

"Well I'm 17, my birthday is on the 5th of December. I like to hang out with my friends and do challenging stuffs together. I like the colours yellow and blue." I told her. "Ok. Well I'm 17, my birthday was the 14th of May, I don't really have friends because I work so much. I like the colour black and yellow." She said.

"Did I tell you that you look beautiful in yellow?" I asked her. "Not sure you did." She said smiling. For the rest of dinner we talk and laugh about anything that came up. At this moment my heart felt at peace and it hasn't felt this way in a long time.
