THE SIREN'S BECOMING.

GAVIN

THIRD POV.

The room went silent as she walked in ,everybody in awe of her beauty. She smiled but ut didn't reach her eyes . The black dress clung to her figure showing all her curves . She could hear the women gossiping her but she just assumed and walked by .

How could they not ,she was always on yhe newspaper about something every week. Maybe they all talked about her divorce with Vincenzo wondering why she would leave a man every woman wanted .

She had learnt with time that people only admired what they didn't have. They had no idea how much she cried in that marriage. How many times she had hoped she would stop loving him do that the pain would stop. She knew people were gonna talk and she really didn't care .

How would they know that her heart ached for different reasons? The ring that was attached to her necklace that was by her nightstand was a constant reminder of the life she would have lived. How could she tell them that she could not bear to sleep in her room because all she could think about was Neegan?

She had tried to be busy and much as she could but it hadn't changed anything. At the end of the day she went back to her empty house and cried herself to sleep wondering where the life she had sacrificed everything for was . Neegan bad passed away and her heart had stopped beting with his .

Natter how much she cried it would not change her reality. She had wanted that life so bad that she had not realised she was going to loose apart of herself in the process.

No amount of liquor or work was enough to erase Neegan from her memories. He was and still is the only man she wanted in her life.

He watched her from across the room as she made her way to the drinks section. She looked sad and he wondered why she beautiful girl like her was frowning. He could see the smile on her lips as she tried as much as possible to great everyone but from her body posture she looked like she did not want to be there.

He had been watching her for weeks but she still hadn't noticed him. He loved the way her laugh sounded sarcastic everytime she laughed,loved to see her smile but yet hadn't seen enough of her smiles . All he needed was fifteen minutes with her and maybe she would start to smile more. She was so beautiful for her to be sad all the time.

"Hello",he said behind her with a smile on his face .

"You startled me"Anna said as she put her glass down chuckling .

"Am sorry I didn't mean to ",he said still smiling .

"It's okay " Anna said chuckling and he couldn't help but grin as her chuckle sounded like music to his ears .

"Where are my manners am Gavin Newton",he said .

"Nice to meet you am Anna ",Anna said .

See she knew him. He thought she didn't know who he was but Anna knew everyone important. He was and aspiring Senator and she knew people loved him and she u deratokd why they liked him so much. He was tall handsome and rich she would be shocked if people didn't like him.

" So I've been watchingbyou and you don't seem to be having fun is there anything that you would like to make your night a little better ?" ,Gavin asked .

" I doubt unless you make all this people dissappear then i don't think you can make me have a grand time",Anna said looking around the room and she spotted Vincenzo across the room with a blonde on his arm and boy did he love blondes.

" I wish I could do that but sadly I can't but don't worry I will find wahs to make you have a great night ",Having said as he tried to see what Anna was fixated on and he spotted Vincenzo .

" Well if it makes you feel any better I think brunettes have more fun",Gavin said chuckling.

"Do I look like am having fun though",Anna asked as she took another glass of champagne.

"Well i believe if he was a good man it would be your on his arms and not some random sugar baby . I promise you neither of them is having fun ",Gavin said but Anna didn't really care .

She didn't care if Vincenzo was having fun or not all she knew was that she was miserable. She did not want to keep on dying a little inside everyday but she had yet to find something that was going to make her feel any better .

"Well he got some sugar she better get some " ,Anna said sarcastically.

"Well word on the street is you took everything " ,Gavin said but he knew Vincenzo was not that stupid . Anna was beautiful and all but he would not give her everything he owned .

"People believe anything they read its sad ",she said getting tired of discussing her exhusband .

"Enough of that do you like ice ?",Gavin asked .

"Well you gotta be a little specific with the question don't you think ",she said chuckling and Gavin was just in awe and in that moment he wondered what it was that Vincenzo had done to finally loose her .

"Well i have an ice rink and you can go skate if you want or you can watch me skate while you eat ice cream or better yet I can teach you how to skate and after a couple of falls you will get your balance so I will reward you with some ice cream " ,Gavin said and he coukd see her eyes sparkle and for the first time that night she had genuinely smiled and it reached her eyes.

"Yes i would very much like to do all those things that you have listed but the problem is am wearing a dress",Anna said staring at her choice of clothing .

"I can find something for you to wear or wear can just cut the dress and I'll buy you a new one ", he said shrugging his shoulders .

"Well are you going to leave all your guests here because some random girl is not having fun at your party ?",she asked him.

"I don't think they really care if am here they are here trying to see whonis better than who I don't think they will notice am gone .Besides I want your company not there's and you're not just some random girl ",he said .

For the first time in months Anna did not think about Neegan. She was no longer sad and even if it lasted for a couple of minutes she preferred it rather than the constant heartache she felt every waking moment.
