'Good morning Viv', I smiled
'Good morning Ms. Silvester', Viv greeted before handing me a glass of warm water
'Thank you Viv', I smiled taking a place on the breakfast bar where she busied herself preparing breakfast
Sawyer walked in while Viv and I were talking with a huge bouquet of flowers
'Someone got something', I smiled
'Its for you ma'am', he said placing it in front of me
'Someone got something', Viv smiled winking at me
'Yes I did', I smiled opening a letter attached to the bouquet

Wear something cozy and comfortable.
Will come to pick you up at 4:00pm
- Sebastian

'Boyfriend?', Viv asked
'Not yet', I said
'Its always good to start somewhere', she smiled
'We will see about that', I shrugged
'I'll take a shower and can you please get my breakfast ready', I said before walking up the stairs
'And could you please set those flowers bouquet on the vase too', I asked as she nodded
A quick shower and the change into a nude brown loungewear set pairing with a sea shell choker and a pair of fluffy slipper.

Sitting on the breakfast bar Viv set my breakfast before leaving to get groceries for a week after finishing I just lounge on the sofa while the TV plays in the background but my attention was totally on my phone chatting with Quin in our group chat that's named Foursome which is not so UG courtesy of Gregory offcourse.

Quin✨: I am coming to the state, plan a meet-up and if one single person in absent I will murder him/her
Pearl🦪: When are you coming? I am busy at a project till the end till the end of this week
Me- When are you coming?
Quin✨: Next Saturday, I have booked Très Petit. Be there by 7:00pm
Me- Great
Quin✨: Will be there.
Greg🔪: Will be
Pearl🦪: Sure thing. Can't wait to get smashed 😉

As Sebastian said 4 in the evening I still have a lot of time to kill so, I decided to work on our launch and see over the final preparation of the launch that I have in almost two days. Also, I have a lot of things planned for this whole year with different product launch, shoots etc

My phone rang and it was an unknown number. It's not possible that someone unknown call this number because it's private only family members have it.
'Hello?', I spoke
'I hope you like the flowers', the voice from the other end spoke
'Sebastian?', I questioned
'Yes sweetheart', he answered
'How did you get my number and don't call me sweetheart, my brothers call me that', I said
'I have my ways ma vie', he spoke
'Well I am impressed with your stalking tendency but I am more of a lotus girlie', I said
'Noted amore', he answered
'Why did you called?', I questioned
'Wanted to tell you to be ready by 4', he said
'Really? Is that what was written on the card. Silly me', I spoke sarcastically
'I see you have sharp tongue', he said
'It can cut you in half Mr. West I am warning you before hand. Do you still want to pursue me', I asked
'I would be blessed to have myself cut in half by you Ms. Silvester', he answered and a small smile plays on my lips
'See you at 4', I said
'Yes ma'am', he answered and I cut the call. Laying down I repeat the conversation I just had with Sebastian but I don't want to get my hopes high because I have already discovered long back it is very difficult to be with me with all the media attention it is not really easy to be around me and to be honest I have already made peace with it. Looking at my wall clock it still shows 12 and I still have 4 hours to kill.
With my cup of tea and laptop I made my balcony my office for today, writing mails, articles for next vogue publishing I get a call from Fred.
'To what do I have the pleasure to receive a call from my favourite brother', I answered
'I am gonna tell that to Stephen', he spoke
'

Well I can have more than one favourite brother', I said
'Nope, still telling him', he laughed
'Mean', I sighed but a smile was constant. I love when they fight over who is my favourite brother and its funny at the same time.
'Arya I wanted to ask that it's Harold's birthday and you have been organising it since he was three so, you want to do it this year?', he asked
'Freddy why did you ask this, you know I love Harold and I love to organise it for him like always', I answered
'No its not like that I was worried with all the launch you have this year plus the new brand you are working on I don't want you to overwork sweetheart', he spoke
'You know family comes first for me. Work can wait', I said
'Thanks sorella', he said
'Anytime', I smiled
'Harold is really excited', he said
'What is he liking now-a-days?', I asked
'Sesame Street', he said
'Okay. Don't worry Freddy I am always there for you okay? and remember I love you', I spoke
'I love you too sorella', he replied
'Bye, see you soon', I said as he answered before cutting the phone.
I texted Michelle, my usual event organiser and informed her of the theme and the date rest assured she will do her magic.

At around 3:30 I began getting ready. He said to be dressed comfortable so, I put on a white t-shirt and black mom jeans with shoes my final touch up my door bell rang.
I walked upto the door but Mike beat me to it and opened it for me
'Sebastian?', I nodded
'Arya. Are you ready?', he asked walking inside my penthouse holding a bouquet of lotuses on his arms
'Yes', I nodded
'This is for you', he said passing me the bouquet
'Humm you do remember', I smiled remembering the text I sent him in the morning
'I aim to please you so I do remember everything', he smirked
'Let me put them in a vase', I said moving to the kitchen and pulling a crystal vase before placing them in them and putting them on the kitchen island
'Shall we?', he asked offering his hand. I nodded before grabbing my bag from the sofa and walking him. I got inside Sebastian's car while Mike and the others followed us in the car behind
'So Ms. Silvester are you excited?', he asked while we drive through the traffic
'Yes, I am excited for whatever you have planned. Hope you have planned something good', I said
'I have tried my best', he smiled
The drive was interesting as Sebastian asked me question about my work and childhood...and told some of his life. Sebastian West, the CEO is a very private person no one really know about him except few rumours here and there.
We reached in front of a building where he walked out and opened my door. I stepped out and out of habit I looked around to spot camera's
'There are none', he said as we walked inside the building directly to the elevator
'Where are we going?', I asked as he pressed 14th floor
'For coffee', he smiled
'There is a cafe here?', I asked because the area we are in is a residential area
'It's our cafe', he said and just then the elevator pinged. As the door opened the smell of coffee hit me hard
Walking inside a whole cafe was there, with two waiters welcoming us in guiding us to the only set of table and chair
'I never knew there was a cafe here', I said looking around
'There never was', he said
'What do you mean?', I asked
'I bought this place and turned it into a cafe so, I could have coffee with you and there is no threat of paparazzi around
'Y-you...did what?', I asked surprised
To be honest it was way too overboard buying a property and making it into a cafe just to have coffee with me
'Are you crazy?', I asked surprised
'Only for someone special', he smiled as the waiter bought out a full-blown menu. Having croissant, pastries, puffs, donuts and anything one could imagine in a cafe
'I'll take a macchiato with croissant sandwich and a slice of cheesecake please', I said passing the menu
'Americano', he ordered without glancing at the menu
'Will be right back', the waiter excused himself before leaving
'So you made this whole cafè just to have coffee with me?', I asked
'I did, this is our little cafè whenever we wish to have coffee we could just come here for a drink', he smiled
'That is very extravagant. Don't you think?', I asked
'No', he spoke
'Why did you want to bring me for a coffee?', I asked as I relaxed
'Because I wanted to know what you like...dislike...dream of...hate and wished', he spoke his eyes never leaving mine
'You accepted it why?', he asked and I could see a mischievous glint there
'No man ever dared to ask me out ever. You are the first', I said
'Why?', he asked
'Many reasons first and the foremost are my brothers and dad, second my surname and men tends to stay away from women who know their place in this world', I answered
'Should I be afraid of your brothers and dad?', he asked
'Ohhh.... definately yes. Absolutely', I laughed
The waiters bought out our order as we continued to talk like normal people getting to know each other but in a very abnormal setting



I am back guys!
I know it was long wait but bear with me, I had the worst first month of the year 2024 and I hope the next would be great....
