Aria and Justin reached the theater and went to sit in the VIP section. All the lights were turned off except the ones on the stage. It was a very tragic play of a king and his three sons but the events were very unpredictable keeping you at the edge of the seat.
Justin kept whispering things into her ear, sometimes he commented about the play, and other times, it was just random questions. He was so close to her, and when he talked, hot air blew into ear , making her gulp.
Once his lips touched her hair and stayed there for a little longer, she felt like he placed a light kiss on that spot. She did not understand why he was so talkative and remembered all the things in the world.
Aria was finding it very difficult to concentrate on the play. Seeing Justin looking at her intensely, she shushed him, and told him that the stage was in front of him.
Justin had smugly replied that he found something else more interesting. Aria had blushed and refused any eye contact with him until the play ended. She heard Justin chuckle and mention she was cute.
Was this guy going to shower her with compliments? Can she conclude that he was attracted to her as she was to him?
Yes, the first thing that caught her attention was his killer looks. He had these rough, sharp features making him stand out in a crowd. Then his personality switched, each second making her unable to guess what kind of person he was.
Sometimes he surprised her by helping her in unexpected situations. She was always drawn to him and his very action made her curious to know more.
A few days before, by some miracle, he changed 180 degrees and acted as if they had known each other for years. There was also this sexual tension between them which she cannot deny at any cost.
Justin made no issues in hiding the desire in his eyes. He was too charming and sweet tugging the strings of her heart.
At last, the play ended and she was glad to put some distance between them.
"So did you enjoy the night,"Justin asked.
"Yes very much," Aria replied.
"Then we should do it often, don't you think," Justin raised his brow.
"It's hard to believe you enjoy anything other than work," Aria said. She had a doubt that he was doing all these things just to accompany her.
"Oh, I enjoy anything when the reward is high," Justin smirked.
"Pardon?" Arai blinked, not understanding what he meant.
"Nothing, you need to worry about it," Justin stated.
While they were exiting there was a lot of crowd and Justin put his hand on her back pulling her towards him. "Be careful," Justin said protectively, not letting any other man touch her.
The hand on her back did not stay at one place, it moved up and down making her feel that he was touching her skin and the clothes did not serve their purpose.
"I am fine, no one is there now," Aria separated from him after walking for a few distance. Justin removed his hand unwillingly but stayed very close to her, as if even air cannot pass between them.
When they reached the home both stood in the corridor not wanting the night to end.
"Thanks for the outing, I had a very good time," Aria broke the silence first.
" I am glad you came, your company made everything better," Justin smiled.
Aria entered the home after bidding good night. She kicked her high heels and laid on the sofa feeling exhausted. His strong presence was a little bit difficult for her to get used to. Each word that came out of his mouth was like he was seducing her and leaving no choice but to fall directly into his arms.
Her eyes fell on the big rose bouquet on the table, so she got up and walked towards the flowers. She took them in her hands when her phone started to ring.
The caller ID showed Travis's name. It was kind of unexpected for him to call, as most of the time he was busy with his work. It was also kind of difficult to know his thoughts, as he rarely spoke of unnecessary things.
"Hello, Travis. How are you," Aria asked.
"Are you in Italy?" Travis asked.
"Thanks for asking how am I doing," Aria scoffed. Sometimes Travis came as insensitive as he was blunt. Even after growing up together she can count on one finger the times he was emotional.
"Aria, you did not inform anyone," there was a hint of accusation in his tone.
"If you check your whats app you will know everything. By the time they all gave me a sendoff party, you were missing," Aria rolled her eyes.
She even doubted he did not know how to use whats app, he typed as if he was answering an email. He used proper punctuation, uppercase and never any short cuts.
"I was in a remote area and there was no network connection," Travis apologized.
Aria's gaze fell on the card in between the roses. Why did she not notice this before? It was written "To the prettiest girl I ever know" and below there was Justin's signature. A big smile formed on her face, she had got many compliments growing up but coming from Justin, it felt extra special.
Aria was not listening to what Travis was saying and just hummed. All her thoughts were about Justin and brought the roses to her nose sniffing their wonderful fragrance.
"Don't stay up late, go to sleep," Travis instructed and cut the call.
But will sleep come so easily to Aria tonight? She was lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling,replaying every encounter and conversation she had with Justin.
If he keeps on treating her so well, it will not be long before she falls for him or maybe she has already fallen for Justin Brown.
The next day, in office, the list for the artists whose paintings will be displayed in the upcoming exhibition was announced. Luckily both Aria and Piper were selected and both hugged each other screaming.
"First of all congratulations to all those who are selected. For the next few weeks you will have a different schedule, please check the notice board for future instructions," Josie announced.
It was a little late when Aria reached her home and was stunned when she saw the back view of Justin waiting for her at her door.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
