Freya's Sugar

Chapter 13

Third person p.o.v

    A week has passed and Freya had called Zion every night like he requested, or more like ordered. The first call she made was very reluctant but it did make her feel better that they took a step-back instead of just breaking things off. She was glad since she felt that they were moving kind of fast and now they were back to how things were before.

    Zion, however, was not as content with this. As much as he loved his daily calls with Freya, it was nothing like seeing her in person. He itched to be with her but he knew if he wasn't careful he could lose Freya so he made do with what he could get for the time being. 

    It was now Monday and tomorrow is Freya's birthday. Her parents decided, last minute, to have nice dinner with her at her favorite restaurant and invite Zion. Freya reluctantly agreed to inviting Zion as she did not want her parents to know about the situation that occurred a week ago.

    Freya fidgeted as her nerves began to make an outward appearance. Her and her parents sat in the restaurant awaiting Zion's promised arrival. Her breath caught in her throat as she gazed at Zion. He confidently strolled over to the table and took his chair next to Freya.

    Zion was overcome with joy when Freya's parents called him to invite him to an early birthday dinner for Freya. When he saw her as he approached the table, he couldn't help the grin that had been threatening to show. 

"Good evening." Zion greeted the table before leaning into Freya to peck her cheek

"Good evening Zion. How is everything with your company?" Freya's dad immediately started with conversation.

    The whole night, Freya's parents chatted away with Zion basically leaving Freya out of the conversation. Not that she cared too much as she had no interest in anything they talked about. Zion made an effort to let her know that he had not forgotten her presence by laying his hand on her thigh but that was about as much as he did.

    Freya sighed as the night came to a close and her parents finished paying the check, after much argument from Zion. 

    "Before we part ways." Zion started

    "I would like to request to take Freya on a weekend getaway for her birthday in addition to taking her out tomorrow." He continued

    "Oh that just sounds lovely. Freya would love that. Wouldn't you darling? " Freya's mom gushed

    "Yes of course. Thank you Zion." Freya replied feigning excitement 

    "Perfect. I will pick you up tomorrow night for your birthday then." Zion grinned
