Vixen, goddess in bed, you named it. Where was she all this time? Damn! A week full of lust and passion with her is the best. The only thing I don't like about it is, she still doesn't want to give me her numbers nor her last name.

And now I'm reading her diary. Damn, she feels what I feel too. And who the fuck is this E and D??

"Oh my God!" Ana runs and snatches her diary from me. "Tell me you didn't!"

I stand up. "I did."

She closes her eyes. "Damn it."

"Ana—"

"Which page?" She cuts me.

"Some random pages and that one last page."

"The only page you aren't supposed to see," she grumbles.

"Yet I read it, Ana. And I still don't get it why you refused the idea of getting to know each other better."

"I told you already!"

"In your diary."

"Yes, in the diary that you supposed to close it when you saw it. That's my privacy!" She glares at me. Damn! So sexy.

"Cooper!"

My eyes snap back to her eyes. She glares at me. "Your eyes look here! Not my body."

I chuckle and come closer to her. "Tell me again why you don't want to give me your numbers? Should I remind you how good we are together?"

She sighs, her eyes soften a bit.

"We both know I'm not in a good place right now. This week with you is what I need. Thank you. And now, it's time to go back to reality. You with your business in L.A. and me, with my business in Paris."

That was her words when I asked her for the last time before we left the villa. Maybe that's the best for us. I know I will surely miss her, not only her body but her. Ana. And the hollow in my heart right now... I hate that feeling.

The stewardess informs us that we're about to land in L.A. now. I sigh. Time to go back to my life. I check my phone, Billy toothless grin comes to my screen. I chuckle. Ana is right, time to go back to my life. I have Billy to take care of, and I have a weddingw to prepare. I slide the next picture in my phone. Charity with her grin showing the camera her fingers with a ring. She sent it last night after Dan proposed to her.

A time with Ana in Maui will be stay in my memory as an amazing week.

"Daddy, look!" Billy shows me her latest art. She draws 2 bunnies that looks cute. For 6 years old kid, she really can draw even though she never got any drawing lesson except from her school.

"Who are they?"

"Mrs. Bun and her daughter Ny."

I laugh. Bun and ny. So much for giving names. She grins back at me with her toothless grin. She just lost 2 of her tooth and the new one still not coming yet.

"How was your holiday?" She asks me.

Ana. "It was great. Your uncle Borris sent you the pic?"

"He did. The jellyfish is huge!!!!!" She says excitedly. "Let me take my iPad!" She jumps down from her seat and runs to her room.

I chuckle and put the pan seared salmon I cooked to our plates. A big bowl of mashed potatoes already on the table. This is Billy's favorite food. One time she told to the class that she loves my food and when the teacher asked what about her mom's food. She said, "mommy can't cook. Everyone said if she cook, there will be an apocalypse." After the teacher informed us about it, I got a call from Jemima and she shouted, blaming everything on me and Daniel cause we did say that multiple times. But that's a fact, though.
