Chains & Roses

Erina's POV: It was Sunday. Uh, finally the weekend. I usually woke up around 9:30 on weekend. I just finished my high school final exam and preparing myself for college. I got up , made my bed and went to the bathroom to get fresh. I went downstairs with my pajama on. My father , Mr. William Melron, one of the famous business men in Lisbon. Dad was already in the living room with his business staffs. I greeted him-" Good Morning, Dad". " Morning, sweetheart. Get ready to start your day" Start my day? Isn't it the same way I start my every day? Is something's going to happen today? Whatever. I went to the dining room which was beside the living room. I took a seat and started with pancakes. Mmm, It's delicious, Serena Aunt. Serena Aunt is a maid in our house. I have been seeing her since my birth. She is my favorite. I spent most of my childhood with her as mom was on a business trip with dad often. Suddenly , Ryan came along. Ryan is my baby brother. He is 8. He always loves to teases and annoys me but I love him. He goes," Hey, sis! Do you...?" Mom cut him off."Shh, Ryan , go to the garden and play . Go" I wondered, "what are they hiding from me?" Dad went with " ready to start your day" and now mom and Ryan? All of a sudden, I heard his voice . There he goes, Mr. Adrian Rossi. I didn't know he was sitting with my father on couch. I didn't notice him. Woh, how could I? Adrian Rossi is my father's business partner for more than 7 years. He is also one of the successful businessman since his young age. He is so tall up to 6'3 I guess, brooding, masculine, with sharp jawline, intense blue eyes and the mysterious look on his face. People rarely catch him smiling. At least , I never ever saw him smiling in my life. But he is quite handsome, attractive. He radiates his light every room he enters and make people stare at him. Any girl will for him in a heartbeat. I looked at him and focus on my breakfast. Don't want to hold back but I couldn't stop myself steal glances at him. I finished my breakfast and took a glance at him. I found myself still. He was already looking at me. "Oh no, I am gone today." I didn't say anything. My whole expression was blunt. Then he gave a sweet smile and said- "Hi! Little Melron!" I thought I was dreaming. What did just happen? This man can even smile? I caught myself off guard. So I looked away and directly ran to the kitchen to hide from him. The faintest curl of his lips when he smiles. God, it's divinely beautiful.
