The Promise

74) Aurora

It's the morning before my flight back to my country, I already called Nour and Kira to tell them. Now I'm packing what's left to be ready.

"I'll miss you, sweetie." Dionne says sadly, "Me too, Di! I won't be late and you too don't be late at Morocco!" she nods as I hug her.

Each employee at NV Valley gets to have a summer break holiday, now with me as one of the mentors at NV Valley; I'm having this vacation as well.

I made Omer interview me as the rest of the employees that join and I passed in the mentor position as I got their qualifications from staying with him that past year. So, the next year I'll be mentoring someone.

Concerning him, he stopped mentoring; telling me 1) I'll be in his place. 2) he didn't mentor before and he did it only with me so he won't be mentoring someone else.

"When are you leaving, Ro?" Zaira asks from the hallway. "At 7 pm. I'm staying with Omer at the studio till the time of the flight is up and he'll get me to the airport."

They both smile and we exchange an emotional hug resting our foreheads against each other.

"I'm glad I had beautiful sisters like you guys."

"We can't wait to have you back, Ro." Zaira sniffs.

"Come quick, bitch." Dionne wipes her and my eyes.

We enter the studio together and I head for my favorite spot; next to the balcony on the floor.

"No, don't open the lights, Omer." I tell him and he nods then sits next to me.

I take a deep breath feeling the breeze on my face. he hooks his pinky around mine and I look up at him. "Can I ask for something, dove?" his face looks pained.

I nod, "Can we spend the night as we're partners? Real ones."

My face softens and I nod getting and straddling his lap.

I kiss his brow, "I can stay." I murmur softly. He shakes his head, "No, dove. Go see your people and I'll be waiting for you here." he kisses all over my face, but my lips with his hands on my waist.

"I won't be late." I tell him and he nods pulling my body in his warmth. "I'll miss you so much, dove." He whispers against my neck; I tighten my grip around him.

I want to say it tonight, but it won't be a help if I did then leave him all alone. He taught me that our feelings are not describes by words and I know that he feels my love for him and because I am m a person who appreciates the strength and effect of words; I'll have to say it when I am 100% sure I'll be ready to face the world with him.

I pull back to look in his eyes then his lips, I hesitate then I lean in and give it a soft peck.

He smiles, "This won't work you know?" he drawls and I giggle as he laces his hand through my hair pulling me towards him kissing me properly this time.

We stay like that for a while with our backs to the wall facing the city lights and my head on his shoulder.

I raise my hand then my pinky, "Together, Omer?" he links his through mine, "Together, dove."
