When the ice melts

Chapter 12

Sam's P.O.V.

I came home and my parents were waiting in the living room.

"Hey," I said as I walked inside.

They looked up at me and dad smiled. Mom was distracted with something.

"Mom, what's up?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"We need to start getting ready honey. Tonight is a big night and we need to impress." I couldn't help rolling my eyes at her.

"Mom, it's not that important"

"Oh, honey it is. It's more important than you think" she got up and took my hand in hers. "Come on now, we need to start," she said while pulling me upstairs with her.

I looked back at my dad pleading him with my eyes to stop her but he just mumbled 'sorry' and chuckled. I sighed and just followed my mom upstairs.

"Okay, I'm going to take a relaxing shower then I'll come to you alright?" I asked hopefully.

"Fine," she said and left at her room. I shook my head and entered my room.

I walked in my closet and took tux I prepared last morning. I placed it on my bed and then took black high heels and put them on the bed as well.

I went to the bathroom and decide to take a bath first, to relax a little. I jumped in and closed my eyes enjoying the warmth of the water. So, I guess it's time to tell you about the situation in this world. Not really but listen.

There are three most influential families in this world. First is Nikolić (I honestly don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, my dad says one thing, reporters say other, I say third) second is my family, and then Adams. For now, we lived in New York, Adams lived in Los Angeles, and Nikolić lived in England I think. I don't know much about them really, no one does. All I know is that they came to New York as well. I don't know how it is going to be for the two most influential families to live in New York. My parents are excited to meet them because they haven't had chance to meet each other yet.

Tonight is a big night for the whole world. Everyone is excited to see the heir of Nikolić and Adam empire. Oh did I tell you that it's the same person? You probably wonder how so I'm going to tell you what I know.

Zoe Nikolić was actually only child of Adams couple. I think their names are Richard and Margaret. She fell madly in love with Nikola Nikolić. This guy had nothing like them. He wasn't poor but wasn't rich either. He lost contact with his parents and started his own business. One day he came to Los Angeles and met Zoe in a grocery store. Grocery store! Can you imagine that!? That was love at first sight. Zoe's parents were against this relationship so they left Los Angeles together and went to live in Serbia. I don't know much about Nikola's parents but anyway. He wanted to improve his business so Zoe wouldn't feel weird. They, together with her knowledge in business, started working harder and harder. They made name for themselves in this world. And then Zoe got pregnant. That made Richard break, and he went to see his daughter, praying for forgiveness. He accepted his daughter's new family.

The whole Adams empire is going to Zoe, and then whole Adams and Nikolić empire will go to Zoe's and Nikola's children. This person is going to be the richest person in this world.

No one knows who the kid is. Is it a boy or a girl. All people know is that they are 19 years old, only two years older than me. Does that kid have any brother or sister? No one knows!

That's crazy how they managed to keep their child out of all this mess. Paparazzi were watching my every move since I was a little kid, I wish my parents did the same for me.

I sighed deeply and got out of the bath. I hop into a shower and finished quickly. I went out and wrapped one towel around my body and other around my hair.

I walked to the wardrobe and took a black pair of underwear. I took simple shorts and a zip-up hoodie so I won't mess up my makeup and hair.

I walked out of my room and went to the room down the hall. I opened the door and mom was already sitting there, guys doing her makeup.

"Hey" I greeted them all.

"Oh, here is our princess," said makeup artist, Alex while looking up. I smiled and shook my head.

"You are late," said mom not bothering to look up.

"What time is it?"

"Already six" everyone said in unison. Seriously? I have been taking a bath for almost two hours!

I sat on chair next to mom and immediately makeup artist and hairdresser came around me.

"Okay, what would you want?" Asked Alex.

"Nothing much, make it light" I looked at a girl behind me through the mirror "And for hair, just little curly, wavy actually, nothing special okay?" she nodded and they started working.

For about half an hour I was ready as well as mom. I went to my room and put my phone on a charger. I saw I had a message from Elena. I open it and saw it was a picture of them all sitting in Anna's living room with snacks and drinks in front of them. I saw Mia wasn't there yet. Where should she be?

They all had that big smile and weird faces. She wrote 'We decided to come earlier'. I smiled and quickly replied 'You are great!"

I quickly took my tux and started jumping inside. Literally! It took me a good fifteen minutes to get in it. I took black high heels and quickly put them on. I wanted to take some perfume, I took Channel no.5, my favorite. I put it on my neck.

Coco Channel once said "Put perfume where you want to be kissed at" that's why once I put it on my mouth and almost ended up in a hospital. Don't laugh! I was young and naive.

I took my phone out of the charger and walked out of my room and went downstairs.

"Wow, you look, beautiful honey," Said dad and gave me his hand to help me walk down the last few steps.

"You are not bad yourself," I said with a wink. He looked pretty good in his white suit "Where's mom?"

"She should be here any minute" just on cue mom walked down the steps.

She looked gorgeous in her red dress which reaches her knees. Her hair was up in a beautiful bun.

"You two look fabulous," she said while looking us up and down.

"You look great as well mom," I said and kissed her cheek.

"Okay now, when we are ready, let's go. Car is waiting outside" dad said and took mom by her hand and lead her outside. I was walking behind them smiling at how cute they are.

Mia's P.O.V.

This day was pretty much good. I just left Dušica's house. Damn, it's huge! I can't believe her grandpa made it that big!

We had so much fun together, I watched her getting her make up done. She looked gorgeous when she was all dressed up.

I am on my way to Anna's place. Dušica asked Willy to take me there. I just can't wait to see their face when Dušica shows up. I couldn't help but laugh just at thought of that.

For a few minutes, we were in Anna's street. I walked out of the car and run towards her house. I ring the bell and the door opened revealing Elena. She looked like she couldn't keep her laugh anymore. She looked up at me and that's when she started laughing putting her hands on her knees. I looked at her with an amused look on my face.

"This i-is going... To be s-so much fun" she said while trying to catch her breath.

"Elena, i***t calm! They can find out before the show start!" I said and laughed a little as well.

''I'm trying" she said and smiled. I shook my head.

"Would you let me in or we are going to stand there all the time and laugh like idiots which we are?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah sorry" she moved aside and I walked in.

We came to the living room together and I kissed everyone.

"Hello guys"

"What took you so long?" Asked Tom when I sat next to him.

"I was with Dušica, sorry" I mumbled.

"It's okay, at least you came before it started," said Anna and threw can of juice at me. I caught it and winked at her. I love this girl way too much.

It was seven and a half now, we still had half an hour before Gala starts. We were talking, laughing, joking and much more until the screen went black for second and then

"Annual business Gala party 2017. Live"

I looked at Elena who smiled widely. Let's start the party!

Sam's P.O.V.

Drive to place were Gala was holding was twenty minutes long. We were just chatting and laughing all the time. It was already 8:10 pm.

Once a car stopped Nick, our driver said "We are here"

"Ugh, thank you, Nick," dad said. "Are you ready ladies?"

Am I? I don't know. There will be hundreds of paparazzi.

"Come on, Sami. Everything is going to be okay!" Mom said and squeezed my hand.

"Okay, let's go. It can't be that bad." I said and at that moment Nick opened the door for us.

Dad went out first than mom. He helped her out, then he gave me hand to help me as well. I gladly accepted it and climbed out. The flashes of cameras made me see harder. Dad lead us on red carpet when the paparazzi started yelling.

"Mett family, over here!"

"One picture for Daily mail please"

We pose together. Dad between mom and me, holding for our waist.

"Sam could you pose alone please" of course, dad let go of my hand and I was alone. Great! Thanks, dad! I put my poker face on and pose a little.

"You look stunning!"

"Whose creation is that?"

"Are you excited to meet the richest person?"

And questions went on, when we finally walked in the building, almost everyone was here. We walked around, mom and dad talking to people I have no idea who is. We found our table and went there.

"Did you saw them?" Mom asked my dad.

"No, I did not, but I saw Adams couple."

"Show me who they are, I am really curious about them all dad," I said while he nodded.

"Do you see that older couple, well that don't really look that old, lady in green dress and man in white suit?"

I nodded, they probably are in muddle sixty or something but they look a lot younger. They look still in love which is really cute. He had his arm wrapped around her waist protectively. They were talking and laughing all the time. They looked so lovely.

"Don't stare, it's rude" mom said.

I rolled my eyes and looked away, at that moment the door opened and one couple in early forty walked in. Everyone in the room turned their heads to look who it was and they all had their jaws down on the floor.

"Ah, Nikolic had come," dad said with a big smile. I have never learned how to pronounce their last name, but the way dad said it sounds oddly familiar.

"That's them?" I asked shocked. Mom and dad nodded while staring at them. I wanted to say to mom that's rude but I couldn't because I was busy staring at them myself.

Woman was beyond beautiful, I see why Nikola fall in love with her in the first place. She has brown hair which was in a ponytail. She was wearing a black dress with red details. She has blue eyes and I felt like I have already seen them before, she looked very familiar even if I am sure I have never seen her before. I guess they decide to match their clothes because the man was wearing a black and red suit. He was muscular with black hair and green eyes.

Man with a camera who was one of many guys who is filming this event came to them with one journalist who asked them some questions. They were laughing a little and then they came to the Adams family.

"They look like just walked out of some fashion magazine," I said while watching them in awe.

"That's true. I can't even imagine how their child looks like!" Mom replied excitedly.

We chatted some more and at that moment guy who was supposed to be our host for tonight walked in little stage that was placed in front of us.

"Good evening, ladies and gentleman I hope you all are enjoying yourselves. You know how all this work, but this Gala is special. Before we all greet and finally meet the heir of Adams and Nikolić Corporation, I want to thank you all for coming here tonight. I don't know for you, but I am really excited to finally meet him or her." He said and walked down.

Everyone turned to look at for when two guys opened it. And then I saw it, just a silhouette but I was sure it was a girl. f*****g girl! Then light caught her, guys with cameras were crazy while trying to catch her every move. Everyone gasped when she entered the room, that's when it hit me. I froze in place. People started whispering and others were watching her in awe.

"Dušica?" I whispered.

Mom and dad looked at me ''You know her?" I nodded, not being able to take my eyes off of her.

"That's the new girl I have been telling you about! Mia's and Elena's friend!" that's why these two were acting weird today! Bitches!

"What!? She is starting at our school?" I nodded once again. "Why would she start at our school if they have a lot of theirs here?"

Well, I don't know really and I don't care at this moment...

"Maybe just because that's her school actually," mom said and I shrugged

At that moment, while she was passing by us, Dušica looked at me, and our eyes locked, she gave me her smile showing her perfect dimples.

Then it hits me, why pronunciation of her last name was so familiar when she said it this morning. Her driving the most beautiful and expensive cars. How similar she looks like Zoe.

But she never dressed like a rich kid, to be honest.

Now she was up at the stage, smiling to everyone who watched her with their mouth wide opened obviously shocked.

Now, I have a chance to check her out. She was wearing a long white dress that was reaching the floor. It has cut and you could see her perfectly toned long legs. Her jewelry was absolutely amazing! She had little makeup and her black hair was let fall down freely. She looked fabulous. I couldn't help but stare.

She cleared her throat and started talking with that sexy, melodically voice. Ugh!

"Good evening everyone, my name is Dušica Nikolić, as you may know, I am the future CEO Nikolić and Adams Corporation." She stopped for second and smiled at us, she looked at me and I couldn't help but smile back! "So, let me tell you something about myself. I'm 17 years old. I am fluent at over 10 languages and I have 3 degrees."

What!? How!? Everyone was too shocked to say anything.

"10 languages!?" Mom asked like she was checking if we heard the same as others.

"3 degrees!? And she is only 17!" Dad added.

"I can't believe this" was all I could say.

I saw her looking at her parents and grandparents who looked so proud of her, but who wouldn't? Her mom nodded and then once again, Dušica started talking.

"I am in this job basically since I learned how to write, read and count. As you all may know for years Nikolić Empire was leading in most of the major lines of business. Such as our Nikolić banks, Nikolić Garden, Nikolić Airlines, Nikolić World Trade Complex, many sports, and shopping complexes. After all this, we decided that Garden will be developing some of the most beautiful places where we are going to make an affordable hotel complex with five stars, so now we all will have our little getaway which is going to open a large number of job opportunities." I couldn't believe what I was listening to! How rich are they exactly!? "About Adams Empire, for the last three years, we opened modeling agency, modeling schools, schools for makeup artists and artists at all. Teachers are one of the best artists and models, so students will have contact with their role models."

Everyone had their jaws on the floor.

"With 13 years I became in charge of the charity side of Nikolić Corporation. For these 4 years, I managed to buy every single one of these companies that were on verge of bankrupt all over the world and emerged every into one Nikolić Foundation which purpose is to help every single person who needs help. For these past few years, my mother and I, were on a mission, together with a couple of leading health organizations, to provide health care all over the world. We invested more than $100 million to help and provide the best form of healthcare for this who are in need. To decrease the amount of poverty Nikolić and Adams organization build centers in every country in Europe for this who are in need." she said and sighed then run her hand through her beautiful shiny hair.

"At the end of this awfully long speech I want to say that we together with Adams" she motioned with her hand at her grandparents who looked proudly at her "And Mett family" she motioned at our table. Wait, what!? They worked with us on some projects!? I thought dad has never met them! "Worked on a project called 'We all are same'.The goal of this project in the future is to completely end some of the important problems and made everyone, rich, poor, elites to have a sense of helping this who are in need. You all are free to donate if you want. Thank you for listening and have a good time." She said and walked down from the stage to her parents and grandparents who hugged her.

Everyone was way too shocked to say anything. We all were confused about how could a 17 years old girl be in charge of all this!?

"We worked on projects with them?" I asked dad.

"Well, not really, we just donated some money''

"But I thought their heir is 19 years old," I said while confusion was written all over my face.

"That's how it should be, but we won't ask anything"

I wanted to ask more but the guy that was on stage before, the host, walked up on stage again.

"Uh... Okay, let just do what is expected to be done on this is Gala. Enjoy!"

Oh yeah! I didn't tell you, did I? Point of this Gala is to meet the richest people in this world at the same place. All of these people have something to sell or buy from another. I think this year we don't sell anything and dad doesn't want to buy anything as well.

At that moment the big screen showed up with the names of all people who are selling something and for how much they are ready to sell it. Next to it is place where the name of the person who bought it will show up as well as the amount of money they spent on it.

"Are we buying something?" I asked dad.

"Nope" he answered while popping the 'p'.

People have already started walking around talking to each other.

"It looks like Nikolić and Adams aren't going to buy anything as well and I really want to meet them in person, so shell we?" dad asked.

"Yeah, let's go" mom answered and took dad's hand.

I looked at their table and saw them all chatting and laughing, but I did not see Dušica anywhere.

"Honey are you going" dad's voice brought me back from my thoughts. They were already few feet away from me.

"Umm, yeah," I said and walked little behind them.

I don't know why but with every step I made I felt more nervous.

When we reach their table, they all get up.

"Good evening" my dad started "My name is Alen Mett, this is my wife Hailey," he said and motion with his hand at my mom who just smiled widely "And this is my daughter Sam," he said and motioned at me.

"Good evening," I said politely and smiled at them.

"It's pleasure to finally meet you" Nikola started "My name is Nikola Nikolic, this is my wife Zoe, and my parents in law, Richard and Margaret," he said and we all shook each others hands.

Then they start talking about some stuff and we all get pretty good along. I couldn't help but notice how polite and kind they all are. I guess that's where Dušica got it from.

She definitely got her beauty from her mother, her charm from her father and humor definitely from her grandparents. I have been talking with them for about five minutes and they are hilarious!

I was thinking about that black-haired beauty who somehow managed to capture my attention. And just like on cue I heard her voice somewhere behind me. We all turned around to see what's going on when we heard someone yelling.

She was talking with a man who I recognize like Raynold something. She was standing calmly in front of him while he was shaking his head and literally yelling at her face. That gained everyone's attention and now, all the people in the room watched them.

"She is going to buy Raynold's company, the one that mainly deals with diamonds and crystal?" Dad asked obviously shocked.

"Yes, she is. The price is $100 million, so let's see what will happen" Nikola answered.

"This man has been selling this for almost three years, and no one could ever have a normal talk with him. He always wanted more. Last year the price was $70 million and some guy was ready to give him $200 and he didn't want it. If your daughter menage to buy it, she will lose a big amount of money." dad said again.

Wow, this man is crazy.

"Don't worry, she knows what she is doing" It was Zoe who answered this time.

And just when she said that the two of them shook hands and man left while talking to himself.

Dušica smiled and turned around. At that moment our eyes met and I felt like the whole world stopped. Like it's just her and me.

And then her angelic voice calling my name, bring me back from my imagination.

"Sam!" She said cheerfully while walking towards me.

Just hearing her say my name send shiver all over my body. I was about to say something when something unexpected happened. She hugged me. She f*****g hugged me! It took me a little to respond to her hug but I slowly wrapped my arms around her. Oh god, how I wished we could stay like this forever. All my body tensed up at first but I relaxed immediately when she kissed my cheek. I felt something weird happening in my stomach but decide to ignore it. Sadly, she pulled away way too soon for my liking. I saw my parents giving me weird looks because they know that I am not a touchy person, but I just waved it off. I looked at beauty next to me and I couldn't help but stare.

You look so beautiful I thought for myself.

"Why, thank you! You look gorgeous as always!" She said while blushing.

Oh my god did I just said it out load!?

"Yes, you did," she said while laughing a little.

I mentally face palmed myself and pray for the floor to open and take me in. But she thinks I am gorgeous!? Damn!

Again that weird looks from my parents but I didn't say anything.

"Wait, you two know each other?" Zoe asked confusion written All over her face as well as others.

"Yes, she is one of Mia's closest friends, I had been spending this past two days"

"Oh, so she is the Sam you talked about?" It was now Nikola's turn to ask. Wait! She was talking about me!? What did she say? Why would she even talk about me in the first place!?

She just nodded and blushed. Oh god, how cute she looks while blushing! I couldn't help but smile. But seeing how troubled she looked I decided to introduce her with my parents.

"By the way, these are my parents," I said to her.

She smiled and looked at my parents "Dušica Nikolić, it's pleasure to finally meet you Mr. and Mrs. Mett.'' she said while shaking their hands.

"Just Call us, Alen and Hailey." Mom said with a wide smile. By the way, they both look at princess next to me, I knew they already like her.

"How that talk went?" Asked dad while looking at her like he is trying to figure her out or something.

"You will see now," she said and motioned with her hand at the big screen behind us.

We all turned around and gasped. I couldn't f*****g believe! I turned to look at her and she was smiling at me. Everyone in the room was staring at her.

"H-How?" I asked confused. I even shuttered which made her giggle and she didn't even have a chance to respond when dad turned around with shocked expression.

"How did you manage to but Raynold's company which worth $100 million, only for $20 million!?" We all wanted to know. "And how did you manage to buy theme park corporation for only $5 million which worth $30 million!?"

"Uh- well it's all about talk, and being calm."

"I'm proud of you," said Zoe and hugged her daughter.

"And I'm impressed! I knew you are a good baby girl, but this is a shock." Said Margaret while smiling at her.

"Thank you all. And by the way dad, we are going to rename this park at 'Dušica's house of fun'" she said while smiling widely.

"Seriously baby?" Her dad asked obviously amused.

She nodded "Yeah, I am still a kid in heart, dad But not that name though!" She said while putting her hand at her chest and pouting. We all laughed at how childishly she acted.

At that moment Richard took her by her hand and asked: "Can you buy something for me?"

"Yeah, grandpa, what do you want?" She asked and kissed his cheek which made him smile.

"Soon is your grandma's and my anniversary, and I wanted to buy her something. I figured travel agency would be just fine, you know how much she loves to travel!"

"No problem! How many does it worth?"

Now we all were listening to their conversation. I noticed that Margaret wasn't here anymore.

Richard looked at the screen and then said "It's $5 million, but I am ready to go for $10 million"

She nodded and smiled "I'll be right back" she then did that gesture with her hand, like solders used to salute each other.

"How much do you think she is going to spend on this one?" My dad asked to no one in practical.

"Less than they said it worths," said Nikola confidently.

Margaret joined us soon, and they kept talking about some stuff.

After about 5 minutes Dušica showed up.

"All done," she said while smiling at her grandpa.

"How much?" He asked curiously. We all waited for her to answer us because we all were curious.

"Half a million" she answered simply and casually took a sip of her drink.

I swear I saw my dad spitting his drink.

"Wow" I heard mom mumbled.

Dušica just smiled at her and her while showing her perfect white teeth.

''So, you should have spent $130 million if you pay everything like they worth" started Nikola "But you bought it for only $25.500 million. Deal was, the rest of the money goes to you, which means you have little over $100.000.000, so did you think what are you going to do with it?"

Wow, I can't believe they gave her all that money. But she deserves it all to be honest.

"Actually I did" she started "I wanted to start building worldwide women shelter. It will be for women who went through bullying, who were r***d, who got pregnant and were kicked out of home, for those who were selling their bodies just to give money to others. It would be for every woman who is in need and who desperately need help" I saw her tensing up and shaking while clenching her fist. Zoe come to her and rubbed her beck while smiling sadly at her daughter. Dušica smiled back at her mother and continue. "It would have a hospital as well, and also everything babies would need"

"I like that idea," said Margaret and they all nodded.

I was in awe, as same as my parents. I couldn't believe how carefully she is.

"But there is also one other thing" she started again "I was thinking about building schools in Africa. Remember last year, when I went to Uganda!?" She asked and they all nodded. She was in Uganda?

"Well, all those girls want is education... They didn't ask for money or anything like that. I swear now go to any school here and ask these kids what they want, and they will have at least 10 things they want. But no these girls. All they want is education and that's the least we can do for them. What do you think?'' She asked all of us.

"I'm speechless." Said dad while looking at her with a shocked expression. She smiled at him and blushed.

"What would you love more?" Asked mom this time.

"Well, I don't know. I guess I'll just need to think about this little more. But whatever I pick, even if I'd want both of this, there is one thing I am sure about.."

"Yeah, and what is it?" Asked Zoe.

"Name" Dušica answered and smiled.

"You have already picked up a name?" Asked her dad clearly amused, and she just nodded shyly.

"So what is it? We want to know" he said once again.

"Alexandra," she said almost in a whisper, but we all heard her. She gave them a sad smile then looked down at her shaky hands.

Everyone remind silent and I don't know what actually happened. Who is this Alexandra girl? Why she brought so much pain to my Dušica? Wait, wait! My Dušica!? What's going on with me!?

"Sam? Sam!?" Someone called me and I felt someone pinching my cheek.

"Ouch!" I turned at my left and saw Dušica looking at me weirdly. "Why would you do that!?" I asked while massaging my cheek and trying to sound annoyed and angry but fail miserably when her piercing blue eyes looked at me.

"You zoned out. I was trying to get your attention for about 5 minutes but It looked like you were so busy fighting with your mind" she said with that already so famous roll eye.

"s**t, sorry" I apologize quickly. She just smiled and nodded.

"I am so f*****g hungry" she mumbled to herself but I heard her very clearly. I looked at my phone and saw it's 10 pm.

"It's 10 pm. Dušica! Mia was right, you really love to eat."

She gave me a death glare before answering "It's never too late for food Sam"

And just on cue, her stomach started making some weird sounds. I looked at her with my eyebrow raised and she looked down at her feet and blushed. I couldn't help but laugh. She looked up at me and opened her mouth in shock.

"Sam Mett! Are you laughing at me!?" She asked while raising her eyebrow, and come closer to me.

"N-No" I answered and realized how pathetic it sounded. She just smiled at me and turned to my parents who were talking to hers.

"Excuse me," she said to grab their attention. When they turned around she smiled and said something I really wasn't expecting.

"Would you mind if I stole your daughter for a while. I promise I will bring her home before midnight"

Mom and dad looked at each other and then at me before dad nodded.

"Of course, you two have fun and take care," he said and kissed my cheek.

"We will don't worry, I won't let anything bad happen to her," she said and smiled at me before taking my hand and leading me outside.

That feeling when she took my hand, wow. I can't even find words to explain this. It feels so good. It feels like her hand was made for mine. I felt little sparks coming from my hand an going all over my body. There are no words to explain this feeling, but if you could see my face, and smile on it, you will understand everything.

"Where Are we going by the way?" I asked when we were in front of the big door to leave all these people behind us.

She turned around and looked at me with a big smile plastered on her face. "To eat!" She said with that duh tone which made me giggle.

Two guys opened the door for us and I heard her sigh deeply.

"Are you ready for paparazzi?"

"I don't really know" she answered honestly.

We were still standing in front of the exit, I slightly squeezed her hand which made her look at me.

"Whatever happens out there, just remember that I am here with you okay?" With every word I said her smile grew wider which made my heart melt.

"You are way too cute, Sam," she said sweetly.

No one has ever called me cute. She then pulled me towards her and our faces were only inches away from each other. I swear my heart started beating 100 miles per hour. She kissed my cheek and brought her lips to my ear. I swear I forgot how to breathe at that moment and she whispered one 'thank you'. Then she led me outside while holding my hand tightly like her life depend on it.

When paparazzi saw us walking down red carpet, hand in hand, they went crazy.

"Over here"

"Look here, princesses!"

"One for New York Times" they all screamed at the same time and the flashing of camera was annoying.

I looked at the girl next to me like I was asking for permission and she just nodded. We stopped walking and she put her arm on my beck, and I swear I could die right then and there. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her even closer to me.

You remember when I told you that paparazzi were crazy. Well, forget about that because that was nothing compared with what is happening now. They were literally screaming! They were asking question after question and we couldn't even hear them clearly. But somehow we both mAnnaged to hear one "Are you two dating!?"

I froze and I could feel her tense up a little. I looked at her and at that moment she looked up at me with a shy smile. We looked at each other for what felt like years. I could easily get lost in her beautiful eyes, but another sentence from paparazzi made us both blush.

"Aww, they are so in love! Look at them!'' and then a lot of 'aww' was heard before she grabbed my hand and lead me to her car.

Did I mention how soft her hand is!? We reach car and her driver opened the door for us.

"Thank you, Willy," she said politely and let me go in first.

I sat down and she immediately jumped in.

"Where to?" Asked Willy.

"I'm hungry," she said with a smile and the driver laughed lightly and shook his head.

I couldn't help but smile while I was staring at her. Well, not really staring because it's rude. I would say I was just admiring. I don't know what is thing with this girl but whenever I am with her, I feel free like I never felt before. With her I don't have to wear any of my masks, I could ve my real self and she is still enjoying my company. I know it's weird because we know each other for only two days but I can't help it. I am pretty sure she doesn't know the effect she has on me. She doesn't know that every time she smiles my world stop. Every time she looks at me, my heart starts beating faster. Every time she touches or kisses me, chills appear all over my body. She doesn't know that her laugh becomes my favorite melody or that her voice is music for my ears. She doesn't know how much actually I like her. And she will never know...
