His Forever Love (West Family) Book1

Chapter 16

Milo’s POV

When Adairia open the door my mouth damn near hit the floor. I couldn’t form any words to say. She looked so good in that blue dress and she made it herself; it hugged her body shape perfectly. Her boobs were sitting right and that ass of hers, damn I just wanted to grab it when she turned around to get her purse. I know I had to keep her by my side tonight when we go to dinner.

I was so happy to have this little alone time with her when Asher turned around and walked ahead of us. I took her arm into mine and almost melted, her skin feel so soft. I couldn’t help but tell her how good she looks tonight. When we walked into the restaurant I knew all the males was staring at her, it didn’t matter if they were with their woman or not they was looking at her. I seen a few get popped upside their heads.

We walked to the back of the restaurant in the VIP section. I’m glad we reserved a table back here I didn’t want those hungry man looking at her with lust. When our waiter came over to take our order he couldn’t keep his eyes off of Adairia, he barely acknowledged Asher and I. I gave Asher a gentle kick under the table and tilted my head towards them. He looked over at them and frowned, he cleared his throat to get their attention, “Hello SIR, if you are done flirting and undress my baby sister with your eyes, we would like to put in our order.” Asher said to the guy, the waiter looked so scared. I had to bite back my laughter. Asher is the wrong person to play with; you wouldn’t want to be on his bad side at all. He only have 2 younger siblings Austin and Aaliyah, Aaliyah and Asher are twins and he looks after them like they are his kids, Adairia might not be his biological sister but that’s his sister in his heart he don’t play about her either and that goes for anybody else that’s in our family and friend group as well. If looks could kill that young man will be dead with the way Ash is looking at him. He took our orders and runaway from our table so fast like something was chasing him. Adairia turned her head and frowned at Ash, she didn’t hold back from giving him a back lashing, “That was rude, what the hell you do that for?” she whispered screamed at Ash.

“Oh, I did you a favor Dairia, that man only wanted one thing.” She lifted up her eyebrows like she was offended by what he said. “Are you saying that he couldn’t like me for me and he only wanted me for my body? Is that what you really think of me Ash, that I’m not pretty enough or that I’m not good enough for a man and all that they would want from me is my body.” She said with so much emotion in her voice looking between Ash and I, when I seen tears starting to form in her eyes my heart started to break. I knew that Asher didn’t mean no harm by what he said, he was just looking out for Adairia like the rest of us do, if her brothers and male cousins were here they would’ve done the same thing, its just in our nature to protect the women in our life, that’s just how we were raised, we didn’t mean to hurt her feelings, even though I have my own reasons why I wanted to keep her away from all the men in the world. He pulled her in his arms, “No, of course not Dairia. You are very beautiful on the inside and out, I just know how guy’s brains work and his brain wasn’t in the right mindset. I just don’t want anybody taking advantage of you.” He said while rubbing her back.

“Yeah Dairia some guys will not appreciate how special you are.” I said reaching over whipping her tears. She gave us a soft smile, “Thank you for looking out for me but let me make some mistakes on my own.” We looked at each other and just nodded our heads; she excused herself to go freshen up in the restroom. A few minutes later she was back at the table laughing and joking with us like nothing happened, there were a few women that came over to our table trying to get mine and Ash’s attention but we brushed them off and put an end to that real quick. “Ash, I feel bad for Aaliyah, I bet you scared off all of her boyfriends.” She said laughing. “You damn right I did.” He said without any remorse in his voice. He’s right because I’m the same way with my sisters and female cousins, I just don’t trust no man around them.

We finished up our meal and paid the tab and left the restaurant, we headed back to the hotel to get some rest because we all have a busy day tomorrow.

Adairia’s POV

These have been the longest 2 days of my life. I just want to go back to my hotel room and sleep for as long as I can. I had to meet with all of the Berkley women to get their size and style, I thought I was only going to make dresses for 8 women and 1 man, Mrs. Berkley and her 5 daughters and her 2 nieces Cassie and Sabrina and her nephew Dashawn, Cassie twin brother. Now I got roped into making all the women in the Berkley family dresses, which are 51 women. I started to tell them no but since I’m just now starting my business I know this will be a huge opportunity for Alli and I, once people see my dresses on them at the birthday ball I know business will start rolling in. The best part is that I have plenty of time to make these dresses and I won’t be making them by myself.

After I found out that all of the women in the family wanted their dress made I called my sister and Tamala on 3 way freaking out. It took them about 30 minutes to calm me down and once they did we came up with a solution, Alli and Tam is going to help me right along with the rest of my sisters and mother and Tam’s family. It’s a great thing that most of the females in our family know how to sew. I am so grateful for them because without them I would have run myself crazy trying to figure out how I was going to get everything done.

The next few days went great I got everybody’s measurements and styles and we went to pick out what type of pattern and fabric they would want. I also build a great friendship with them; all of the women are very nice ladies and fun to be around. The older Berkley women kept trying to hook me up with their sons but I told them politely that I wasn’t looking for a serious relationship right now. I’m just focused on me and my business.

I’m so glad that the next few days I can relax and chill before I head to my adventure in Florida. I decided to extend my vacation time. I was originally just going to do a month but I’m thinking about doing 2 months, I already talked to Alli, Tam and my parents about it and they think it’s a great idea since I been stressed out a lot lately. I also called my brother Julian to let him know as well for he wouldn’t worry, he told me to have fun and to make sure I take my medicine, I promised him I would, and we talked for a few more minutes and called it a goodnight.

I barely saw Milo and Asher the whole time since we been here. After we arrived the first night we haven’t hung out since. In the morning we will meet downstairs in the lobby, ride in the same car to the Berkley family estate and then go our separate ways. I would take the car back to the hotel when I was done with my meeting with the ladies or hang out with the ladies and they will do the same thing with the men’s.

I was lying across the bed when I heard a knock at the door, I looked over at the time on the clock on the nightstand next to the bed and it read 11:00pm. Who in the world would be at my door this late at night, I thought to myself. I got up from the bed to go see who was at my door at this ungodly hour. I looked through the peephole and seen it was Milo. What is he doing here? What could he possibly want at this hour? There isn’t anything open so I know he don’t want to go anywhere. Instead of standing here trying to figure out in my head what he could want at this ungodly hour, I decided to open the door and ask him, “Milo, what are you doing here?” I said a little annoyed. I wasn’t annoyed that he was here; I was annoyed that he came here close to midnight. He just stood there staring at me smiling not saying anything, then finally, “Hi Adairia, can I come in?”
