Aurum Isle

Dominic Valentine

"Very Damn sore! Your beautifulness has blinded me!" "Wow! such a charmer! If I knew this, I would be getting married next week and would just stay here and be with you my old friend!" Sia Laughed, as she went to hug her long time friend Michael. "In any case, Micky, I really think you should brush up on your dictionary my man, I don't think there is a word in the dictionary as beautifulness." she added pulling away from their hug. "phish pash! tomato tomato."

Michael, a natural red head. Grew up on the Isle. His green eyes and extremely pale skin emphasized his Scottish roots. However he was part of them. He was part of their history and with that, part of their family.

"ol'daddio, is not relenting?" he asked sitting with Luca and Sia after greeting Luca with some bromace and a deep hug. Sia shook her head, " and I came here to stop thinking about it, and well. I can't stop thinking about it!", " it's going to bother you until it's over." Luca interjected, "then my life is over." "or maybe it's just the beginning?" Michael raised his eyes and wiggled it at them. "Meh!" Sia spat. "Where's Rachel?"

"Helllllllooooo!" she sang across the room, she was a splitting image of Merida from Brave and Luca was hopelessly in love with her. Her perfect teeth could be seen across the room, and her character was as nurturing as they could come. "I've missed you so much!" she shouted embracing them in a hug. she gestured to the waiter to bring the usual, and plopped down next to her brother and across from Luca and Sia. "So what did I miss?" she smiled. She was filled in quickly, and with sympathy, she raised her glass of vodka.

"If your mind won't let you forget, the drink should!" she toasted.

one drink, two drinks, three drinks, and life started to feel better for Sia. she Danced a little with the locals to the music they put on, and her last little bit of freedom was there. "Do you want another?" she shouted to her friends as they danced, enjoying themselves. She wasn't Drunk or tipsy she was fine, she was just forgetting.

she leaned on the bar and asked the bartender for another round. while she waited for the four drinks, she sat on a bar stool. "Do you mind?" she looked at the man next to her, trying to be polite. Her eyes locked on to his and in that moment her chest almost burst out with butterflies.

Chiseled features, piercing blue eyes, and a strong jawline defined his striking face. His bright smile reveals deep dimples in his cheeks, adding a touch of boyish charm to his ruggedly handsome appearance. "I don't mind at all..." His Husky voice responded, almost putting Sia in a Trance. She smiled awkwardly and sat on the stool next to him. facing away from the bar and towards her friends, who were all in their own little world.

"Do you come here often?" The stranger asked. She looked up at him, and tired her utmost best to play it cool. "myself and my cousin own a property here." "your cousin?" he asked, turning to look at her crowd of people. " yeah, the curly haired guy dancing with the girl." "haha, humping the girl." he chuckled out. she burst out laughing, "I didn't notice, but I suppose you're right, he is humping her isn't he?" she focussed on them then laughed again. she looked back at him and he was staring at her intently.

"Do you come here often?", "Not as much as I'd like, but hopefully a lot more in the future." she nodded and looked back at her crowd. The humping soon turned into kissing and she knew her night was over from there. "Well there goes my ride. I will get one with Michael." she muttered pouting her lips.

He was still watching her intently. "Hey. you're new to the Isle?" she turned back to him. "yeah, I am." "well I don't normally invite strangers but come over and have a drink with us later... one Rizzo lane. You can't miss it." she hopped off the stool, took their drinks, and made her way back to her friends. He watched her down her drink, grab her purse and walk out with her three friends.

"I'm going to walk you in alright?" Michael stated opening the car door for Sia, "wait, where are you guys going?" she asked puzzled, "We are going to my mom's house... Michael has a visitor..." Luca shouted from the back seat. "You have a visitor?" Sia raised an eyebrow, he shook his head smirking, "Is it a lady visitor?" She teased. "I don't want to talk about it. I want to walk you inside, make sure you're safe." he rushed. she walked with him just a short distance, and then turned her head looking over her shoulder at Luca. "So much for a bodyguard, it's not Michaels Job!" she shouted, " you gave me off!" he retorted, "yeah not for nookie! I'm a high profile person!" she huffed. "You are?" he shouted back acting shocked. causing them all to laugh, even Herself.

she threw him a Zap, and was led inside. "Lock up, get in your pjs and watch something. Don't go to the beach alone Sia. you are safe inside." "Thanks dad..." she rolled her eyes. He closed up behind him and through the large downstairs windows watched them speed off.

she kicked off her shoes and did exactly what was told. She dressed in an oversized white t-shirt and a pair of grey sleeping shorts. she got herself some cereal and got comfortable in her bed.

That was until she heard the door bell ring.

"forgot something, I'm sure." she muttered to herself . swinging the door open and almost choking on her own spit.

"Hi, Guy from the bar!" she shouted, he smiled, taking in all she was wearing.
