~AMILY CHARLOTTE ASTON ~

I took a deep breath, grabbed my phone, and walked out of the house. As I stepped into the night air, I looked around, trying to see who Nick was talking about. And then, I saw him.

Atlas, standing by the car, looking more handsome than ever. Our eyes met, and I felt my heart skip a beat.

Atlas looked like a fictional hero straight out of a romance novel. His black shirt with folded sleeves accentuated his muscular arms, and his black pants fit him perfectly, showcasing his tall, lean physique. His hair was styled to perfection, with a hint of messiness that made him look effortlessly cool.

As our eyes met, he flashed a charming smile, and I felt my heart flutter in my chest. I couldn't help but notice the way the streetlight behind him cast a halo-like glow around his head, making him look even more like a hero from a book.

I felt like I was melting into his gaze, and my legs felt weak beneath me.

As I walked towards Atlas, I couldn't help but feel a hint of embarrassment about our previous night.

I smiled nervously, trying to play it cool, but I could feel my cheeks flushing slightly. "Hey" I said, trying to sound casual, "I didn't expect to see you here".

My heart skipped a beat as Atlas leaned in closer, his face inches from mine. "You're looking beautiful and hot, Amy" he whispered, his breath sending shivers down my spine.

I felt my cheeks flush with heat, and my pulse racing with excitement. I couldn't believe he was saying this to me! I tried to play it cool, but my voice came out barely above a whisper "Thanks, Atlas. You're not looking so bad yourself".

He chuckled and his eyes locked onto mine, sparkling with flirtation. The air between us was electric, and I could feel the attraction building.

Just as Atlas was about to open the car door for me, I sensed a presence approaching us. I turned to see Ethan walking towards us.

"Hey, Ethan!" Atlas greeted, his tone friendly. Ethan nodded in response, his eyes still fixed on me. "Are you guys heading to Lucy's party?" he asked, his gaze piercing. I nodded, feeling a bit awkward. "Yeah, we were just about to leave".

Ethan's eyes lingered on me for a moment before turning to Atlas. "Cool, I'll catch you guys there then".

Atlas replied "We'll see you there then", and then he turned to me and asked "Shall we?", I nodded as Ethan bid goodbye to us.

As Ethan walked away, Atlas turned his attention to me and gestured for me to get in the car. He opened the door wide, revealing the sleek interior, and smiled at me. "Your chariot awaits, Madam", he said, his eyes sparkling with warmth.

I laughed and slid into the seat, feeling a sense of luxury envelop me. The soft leather cradled me, and the subtle scent of leather and wood filled my senses.

Atlas closed the door behind me and walked around to the driver's side, his movements fluid and confident.

As Atlas drove, my phone buzzed with a text from Lara: "Almost there! I'll be waiting for you. Enjoy the ride!" I smiled, feeling a surge of excitement.

As I sat quietly, Atlas turned to me with a concerned expression and asked, "How are you feeling now?" I took a moment to reflect on my current state before responding. "I was a bit sleepy yesterday, but I'm alright now" I said, meeting his gaze.

Atlas's eyes softened, and he nodded thoughtfully. "Glad to hear that you're feeling better" he said, his voice warm and gentle.

I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. "Thanks for dropping me home yesterday, Atlas", I said, meaning every word.
