His Forever Love (West Family) Book1

Chapter 13

Milo’s POV

One Week Later…

It’s been the longest week of my life. I got everything planned for this trip. We will be gone for about a week, so I have a week to convince Adairia that we belong together. I did take into consideration as to how our families will react to us being together but I didn’t care how they would feel because it’s not about them it’s about Dairia and I, and I know I will be happy with her. Its time that I take my blinders off and realize what is in front of me. I’m done fighting my feelings for her, and she is the one I want to be with.

We are on our way to pick her up now and I’m kind of nervous because I don’t know what to expect or how she will act when I tell her my plans. Adairia and I have known each other for a very long time and yes we kissed twice but we never took it farther. I want to date her, worship her, court her, spoil her, and give her everything she needs and wants. I want us to last for a very long time.

Thirty minutes later we pulled up to her house and I got out to go knock on her door, she opened it with a smile on her face, her smile is so pretty, “Hey Milo, come on in I got one more bag to grab, I will be just a minute. Would you like something to drink?” she said while walking away. “No, I’m good thanks.” I looked around her living room, she changed it since the last time I been here, she made it brighter. I was walking around looking at all the pictures she put up from her college days when I came across the one with her and Marco and my jealousy instincts kicked in, they looked so happy together, that’s when I decided to find out more information about their time together because I didn’t need anybody trying to come between what I have planned for Dairia and I. I was looking at a picture of the girls when I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned around and walked in Adairia’s direction to help here with her bags, “Here Dairia, let me grab those for you.” I said while taking the bags out of her hand. “Thank you Milo that’s very nice of you.”

“Anything for you Dairia.” I said and meant it, I will do anything for Adairia, she is my world she just doesn’t know it yet but she will in due time, I won’t hide my feelings for her any longer. We walked to the door and I picked up the rest of the bags and took them to the car, my driver had the trunk opened for us to put them inside, “Is there anymore bags, Ms. Adairia?” my driver Albert asked. “Yes, there is a few more inside next to the front door, if you don’t mind grabbing those for me.”

“Nope, no problem at all Ms. Adairia.” He said and turned around to start walking towards her house. “OK, Ms. Adairia that’s everything. Are you ready to go?” he asked her after putting her last bag into the car. “Yes I am, let me just go lock up the house, I’ll be right back.” I stopped her before she can get any farther, “No, I got it Dairia you go ahead and get in the car and get comfortable. We have a long drive to the airport.” She gave me a smile and did as she was told. I will do anything to keep that smile on her face. After locking up her house, I went to the car and climbed in beside her. “Hey, where Ash, I thought he was coming on this trip with us?” she asked sounding a little disappointed that she didn’t see her big brother in the car. “He is, he’s going to meet us at the airport because he had to handle something with Terry before leaving.” I said. She rolled her eyes at the mention of Terry. “I get the feeling that you don’t like her very much.” I said. “Who?” she asked with an innocent look on her face. I laughed, “Don’t play silly Dairia. Terry?” she rolled her eyes again. “Because I don’t like her.” She said bluntly and it kind of surprised me because Adairia has never been so blunt before, she always gave people the benefit of the doubt. “Why not?” I asked. “Because she use to be mean to us in school.”

“Really Dairia? That was back in high school, you got to let that go baby girl.”

“I did let it go Milo, I know people can change but I don’t believe she has plus there’s something about her that rubs me the wrong way. Call it a woman’s intuition.” I laughed at that because that is true women know who is being conniving and who is not, it’s almost scary. We set into a silence ride when I remembered something, “Umm, Dairia? Are you planning on moving to ATL?” I asked her. She lifted her eyebrows in confusion, “No, why you ask that?”

“Because you have a lot of luggage for a week stay, I know they say women always pack heavy but that’s just a lot of bags.” I said scratching the back of my neck nervously; women don’t like to be called out when they have a lot of stuff. She laughed, “No, those bags are packed for about a months worth of clothes.” My eyes widen, “Why do you need a months worth of clothes, if you only going to be in ATL a week, that’s a lot of clothes.”

“Because after I leave Atlanta, I’m taking a vacation for 3 weeks.” I don’t know how I feel about her traveling by herself, I just know I don’t like it, any thing could happen. “Is the girls going to join you?” I asked of Alli and Tamala. “Nope.” She said giving me a short answer. “Is Marco going to join you?” I asked nervously of her date, I really hope he wasn’t going to accompany her on her travel trip. “Nope, it is going to be just me.”

“Don’t you have to start working on the Berkley woman’s dress designs right away? How can you afford to take a break?” I know I was full of questions but I really was curious.

“Because it will only take me 2 to 3 days to get there measurements and to go over the fabrics and pattern with them, I’m only doing Alyssa and Dylan Berkley’s children. That’s 6 women including Mrs. Berkley.”

“So where are you headed after Atlanta?”

“Well once I’m done with the Berkley women, I’ll be spending the remaining of the week relaxing, chilling, and exploring the city and then I’m headed to Florida for 3 weeks to soak up some sun.” I didn’t like the fact that she will be in Florida with some of the hungriest men alive. They will hound her and hit on her everyday and all day. I have to find a way on that trip with her. I can use a 3 week vacation, I have been working my ass off trying to build my business and now that I run a successful business I can start taking vacations. Asher can run it by his self for 3 weeks and I’m sure my parents won’t mind keeping Kenny for a month while I’m gone, they love having their grandson around. Mom always told me that I needed to start taking breaks before I ran myself into an early grave but I never listened, and that she will keep Kenny for me, for I can take these breaks but I never took her up on this offer, now I think I will. I set back in my seat and started to put my plan in motion in my head. We continue the ride in silence, it won’t be long until we get to the airport, so I laid back and closed my eyes.
