wi...
The sun is shining bright in the sky, The birds are chirping around What a beautiful day It seems like a sign from the universe Agreeing to the occasion we are doing to celebrate Today is my fifth wedding anniversary to the greatest love of my life Nikolai...
Wait, when did I become a poet? Oh yeah, love makes us poetic
Niko, Just the thought of him alone puts a bright smile on my face. Looking around I saw a bouquet of tulips, my favorite. I instantly took and smell it, and opened the note pinned on it:
"Dear love, I just want to say I am indeed the luckiest man on earth It has been thirteen years since we've known each other Yet you still manage to amaze each time I'll see you tonight. Happy fifth anniversary to us, Love your Niko..."
Still thinking of him, I didn't notice that the door of our room opened, a little head poke inside looking directly into my spot
"Good Mowning Momma" a little voice said with a bright smile on his face
Laughing at how he pronounces the word morning,
"well, good morning to you too Xavy, where's your dad?" I asked looking at my four-year-old son, that looks exactly like my husband.
"He saiwd he was gwoing to work early" he informed me
"Oh, okay" slightly disappointed
"bwut he gave me this" he handed me a small box.
I immediately took it and gasped at the content, it is a necklace with a gold chain and small locket. Opening it, I saw our family picture, an updated one to be exact while on the side of the locket, is has a message.

Flashback
"Woah" I whispered looking at the huge mansion in front of us, it sure feels like royals have been residing here.

We also came from a wealthy family, my dad has his own company, and mom has a successful firm. But that is nothing compared to this! Is my dad's friend some kind of king or what?
Walking into this elegant mansion, it was breathtaking. that is all i have to say.
Hey!I could live here. Or not
Sensing that someone is walking to us, I diverted my eyes on them
Upon my view is a man in his forties I think, with black hair and green eyes. His good-looking for his age, and beside him is I believe his wife. She held vibrant red hair with blue eyes, which I believe is rare in this world. She was equally good-looking as his husband.
"It's been so long Leo" The man spoke and came to pat my dad's shoulder
"Yeah, I was starting to think you forgot about your old pal" my dad said while laughing
"Oh shush! These two are such drama queens" my mom's turn to talk
"How have you been Elena?" she asked to the woman beside my dad's friend
"I have been fine earlier Allie but seeing these two being all lovey dovey I'm not sure anymore" she replies with amused tone. And this made them all laugh
"well, this is my daughter Aliana" my dad proudly says, and it's the couples turn to look at me. I suddenly feel shy, heat creeping to my cheeks. I am not the spotlight type of girl, i always stay low-key.
"Would you look at that, you turn to a beautiful young lady" the lady said "I'm Elena and this is my husband Gabriel"
"Thank you and nice meeting you both" I said
"Well, we should not keep you away from the party, please follow us" Gabriel said, after a while came to this huge garden with lights above, it looks so dreamy and I see people mingling with each other. I'm awestruck with the view that I didn't notice someone approach us.
"well it's time for you to show up birthday boy" Elena said to the person who suddenly appear in front of us
And I was brought back to life with that being said
"Mom could you stop saying that to other people, I'm 20 already" said the boy in an annoyed tone
I was now looking at a handsome, wait! I mean the most handsome man I have ever seen. He was tall that's for sure and has broad shoulders. His already towering both our dad's height. He also has black hair, like his dad and ocean blue eyes which from his mother. Those eyes, which is definitely swoon worthy. He is indeed a gorgeous man
What am I talking about??? I'm only fifteen for christ's sake!!
"Oh, I can say whatever I want because I'm your mom" she said while ruffling his hair through
He muttered something like "childish behavior" which earn a chuckled from his mom.
"Oh, by the way, you remember Leo and Allie. Your father's friend here in New York"
He nodded
"And this is their daughter Aliana" my turn to be introduce to this handsome blue-eyed man.
"H-hi" what was that? Did I just stutter in front of him?
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Nikolai" He said in a confident matter while his eyes were on me.
My parents didn't even notice him staring at me. What??!
"It was nice meeting you again Nikolai" my dad said to him
Lost in my thoughts, my son waves his hand on my face and I immediately snapped of out it
"Mommy I'm Huwngry" he pouted with puppy eyes and I giggled at it.
"Okay baby let's go downstairs and feed that tummy of yours" walking to him and tickling his tummy
"h-ha-ha-ha-ha mommy s-s-stop-p" he said in between laughs
