We all went to celebrate my birthday by having dinner at a Chinese restaurant. We all sat down and whizzed our eyes on the menu. Within two minutes we were ready to order. A waitress came to our table and took our orders. “Could I please have number nine, five, seven, one and three on your menu tonight,” asked dad. “Sure,” replied the waitress. “Would you like anything else?” “Can you please bring a bowl of fortune cookies please,” I begged. “Coming right away,” she answered back and left to take the orders to the kitchen. Mum said angrily “It is very immature and impolite to beg at a table and certainly in front of a waitress. “Give him a break honey,” Dad said supporting me. “After all it's his birthday” As soon we finished our conversation the waitress came back with the fortune cookies. “Finally,” I groaned causing the whole restaurant to look at me. “ Billy,” shouted mum and dad giving me an angry look. I said “I just want to open my fortune cookie.” I opened it with no hesitation and it read. ‘Your life is in danger. Say nothing to anyone. You must leave the city immediately and never return. Repeat: say nothing.’ I looked at my fortune confused but scared. I didn’t know what to do. Mum asked my what mine said. I replied “Um…Good things will happen to those who wait. I know I lied but what was I supposed to do. It told me not to. After we had dinner we all went back home but I couldn’t stop thinking what it meant in my fortune. I laid awake in bed hopelessly thinking. I just couldn’t figure it out.

Loving Mr. Cavalier
When Liliana signed up to become a private flight attendant, she believed she had a general idea of what the job entailed. Strictly professional. What she didn't expect was for the mysterious, strict, straightforward Mr. Cavalier to take an interest in her outspoken yet naïve nature. With a stubborn billionaire refusing to take 'No' for an answer, Liliana finds herself on a ride of a lifetime, filled with heated close encounters, daring conversations, not to mention a dash of drama. Will Liliana be able to withstand Mr. Cavalier's lusty and endless pursuit? Or will the outspoken hostess reject the hot billionaire once and for all? __________________________________ He didn't speak. He never spoke. I knew that he was able to speak, but whenever I was around it seemed that I was the only one speaking. He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ... And yet, here I am, patting down the wrinkles on my skirt, as his car approached the Jet. I was rather angry. It was my day off. I wasn't even on call. I told Jenna that I wouldn't come in today and that he'd have to find someone else. Apparently this man didn't take "No" for an answer. He had his personal body guard arrive at my door, and I wouldn't be too surprised as to how he got my address. The scary man was ready to drag me from my house, I was driven to his private Aircraft and now I had to play hostess. When he stepped out of the car, his eyes looked up to me. Had he smiled or even acknowledged my presence, maybe I would be free to assume that he was happy to see me.Complete
