I woke up the next morning to the sound of rustling paper, and I extended my arm out to reach for my phone to check the time, and I was met with my family group chat blowing up with many messages, all addressed to me. I opened to find out that everybody was asking for the pictures of the ring and how he proposed. Just reading those messages got a smile on my face.

My attention once again went to my side table where a piece of paper was kept, and I picked it up and began reading, "Love, I had to leave for Dubai for some work so I will now directly be seeing you after four days. Take care of yourself. Signed; A.S." Immediately my mood dampened as if somebody had splashed cold water over everything.

Now there was no point in me staying here either because we had specifically come to Berlin so that we could have time to get to know each other. Besides, I missed my family too. I turned the paper around to see if there was anything else written and when I found out that there wasn't, I got up from my bed and walked into the washroom.

I came out freshly showered and dressed in black shorts, a white tank top and an ovr-sided grey varsity jacket. I also put on some tinted moisturizer and blush. Once satisfied with my OOTD, I sat on my bed and called Enzo.

"Hey Enzo." I greeted him and he simply grunted in response making me remember that this was the time that he normally hit the gym at. The sounds of the machinery stopped after a few seconds and I finally heard Enzo's voice.

"Good morning Bella."

"Enzo. I need a favour. Can you send our plane to Berlin? I'm coming back home." I told him, scrolling through the airline app trying to find a direct flight to Miami. "There are no direct flights and the ones that are there are all booked." I continued.

Enzo hummed from the other side before asking, "Did something happen between you and Apollo last night, that you want to come back all so abruptly?"

"No, actually he's gone to Dubai for some work and I miss you guys." Enzo hummed once again before letting me know that the flight will arrive and be ready for me by 3pm. We spoke some more before he ended the call saying he was getting late for a meeting. I straightened out my clothes for the last time before going downstairs to tell Nick and Caroline that I would be leaving today.

"Hi babe, where is Apollo?" Caroline asked me, trying to look over my head to see if he was behind me.

"He's gone to Dubai for some work. Even I will be returning home today. I should spend some time with my family too before I get married." I told her to which she immediately pouted and began protesting. Just then Nick came in and sat in front of us.
