Recently life hasn't been what used to. In fact moving back home for while has made life for her there...vanilla if anything. Vanilla, but she didn't mind...She quite enjoyed the peace she had since being back. She was going unnoticed. Less people noticed her. Well less than when she was in America. Spending so much time in America... Specifically in the spotlight, things get a little toxic. And it becomes unhealthy. She needed a break from work. From people. She needed a new environment. More less new...More so an environment she hadn't been in, in a log time.
Azra takes time off of work sometimes to visit family. Of course with her job it's a little hard to spend so much time away.
Today was the day Azra arrived in Monaco, fresh from the U.S . She loved the feeling of the fresh, warm breeze on her skin. She was only staying for a few weeks. And she was just happy to be home and away from all the stress she left behind in the U.S .
The first stop was her parents home. As she got out of the car, she was greeted by her parents. Her father immediately pulled her in for a hug. "I haven't seen you in so long, my love !"
As soon as she was released by her father, her mother immediately pulled her into a hug. "I've missed you guys so much." Her mother gave her one more last squeeze. Before saying "Tell us all about your trip."

After having dinner with her parents, Azra sat across the table from her parents. "So, what's new Azzy?" Her mother, Nicole asked. Azra slightly thought to herself. Something came to mind, but she just moved past it. "Um, nothing much." She shrugged.
"Oh, whatever happened to that guy you told us about... What was his name?" Emilio asked, curiously.
Azra's eyes widened. Her father rarely ever asks about her love life. He caught her by surprise. Then her mother jumped in, "Mark? Christopher?" Nicole guessed.
Azra cleared her throat, "Zayn." She cleared her throat again. "He um...We're not together anymore."
"I'm sorry it didn't workout." Emilio apologized.
Azra sighed, "Yeah...So am I." She confirmed.

After Azra's dinner with her family. She headed toward the hotel she booked. Once she got all checked in, she decided to go out on the town. She got dressed and went to a local bar not that far from the hotel...She sat at the bar taking small swings at her drink, when a man approached the seat beside her. A half hour, went by and the man was taking small glances at her. She didn't say anything about it, until his last glance.
She turned to him. "Hi, I noticed you staring at me...And it looked like you wanted to say something. So I'll start." She took a slight pause before sticking out her hand, "Hi, I'm Azra." She introduced with a smile.
He gave her a charming smile. He looked familiar. But she just couldn't place him..."I'm Charles. It's nice to meet you too Azra Wolfe." He said making her raise her look embarrassed. He then added, "I'm sorry. I don't mean o make you uncomfortable."
"You're not." She assured. "It's just sometimes, I forget people know who I am because of who my father is." She said. Not mentioning anything about her own profession.
Within the few minutes of introducing themselves, it seemed like they enjoyed speaking to each other. They let the conversation continue. "So, what brings you to Monaco?" He asked curiously. "Um, I just needed to get away from work. I just needed a break. And the only place I could think of is home." She then continued, "Everything there is just so stressful."
He sighed. "I get it. I do, trust me." He slightly chuckled to himself. "Sometimes I just feel so..." He started. "Drained." He and Azra said at the same time. They were sort of caught in a daze at the moment before Azra asked, "So, what is it exactly that you do?" she asked curiously.
"I'm a driver." He stated, not wanting to say too too much.
"Oh, that must be...Interesting." She said.
During this whole conversation, neither one of their smiles left their face. It appeared to had be going in a direction no one was expecting. And somehow ex-relationships came up in conversation . "I don't mean to pry. But are you in a relationship?" He asked.
"No. Actually the last one I was in ended sort of recently." She said. "Me too. My relationship recently ended too. She and I just mutually ended things. But were still on good terms." He related.
"I wish things could've ended that way. But...Unfortunately some thing you just can't forgive and forget." She concluded.
"If you don't mind me saying, anyone who'd walk away from you is a mad man." He admitted.
"I don't mind at all..." She smiled and shrugged playfully. "We um.. We're engaged but I... I called it off after catching him with someone else." She admitted.
"Like I said...He's a mad man." He confirmed.

After spending hours talking, the bars was finally closing. And since the hotel was only up the street, Charles walked her. On their stroll to her hotel, they talked some more. And once they reached the building, they were both kind of sad knowing they had to part ways. "Charles that was the best time I had in a really long time. I really needed that, thank you."
"Of course. I needed that too. How much longer are you in town?" He asked.
"Uh, A few more weeks' till I have to go back."
"Well that doesn't leave me much time. So, I hope I see you again. I really enjoyed your company." He said.
"I really enjoyed your company too, Charles. I'm sure we'll see each other again." She said before pressing a kiss on the man's cheek and turning on her heel to enter the building. "How can you be so sure?" He called after her with a slight smirk. She stopped in her tracks and turning around with a smirk on her face. "Charles, would you like to come upstairs?"

Obviously Charles didn't object to her offer. In fact the next morning, she woke up with a smile on her face and wrapped in the sheet from her suite bed. She smiled at the view that laid beside her. He smiled back, "Good morning." He greeted, kissing her shoulder. "Hi."
She sat up, reached for her robe. Once her robe was on, she reached for her phone. When her phone unlocked, it was flooded with thousands of notifications. She froze like a deer in headlights. She didn't know what to say.
She immediately stood up, making Charles alarmed by the look on her face. "What's wrong mon cœur?"
She slowly looked up at him from her phone. "Who are you?"
