I'm impatiently waiting for this meeting to come to an end, but considering it started ten minutes ago, I doubt I'll be getting out of this uncomfortable chair soon. All information my men are giving me, is dissapearing into thin air. Its a little over twelve am, I'm wearing the most uncomfortable suit I've ever worn and my mind is too clouded with thoughts of Avery in that white dress and fake wings to pay any attention to what's being said around me.

My girl has been talking about a Halloween party, she's currently at, for the past week. She told me all about her, Summer and Ethan's plans of getting matching costumes.

When she got ready at my place earlier, she didn't wear the original dress, which I didn't get a chance of seeing. She herself told me it made her uncomfortable though, so she left it at Summer's and packed a flowy, summer-dress instead. It was short, but she convinced me by saying she didn't have anything else.

She looked like a literal angel. Her naturally straight, hair was pushed back by the halo headband she was wearing. It fell down her back in an amazing way, and I just wanted to tug at the glowing strands. The necklace-she yet has to realise has Aiden carved into the back of the A-around her neck added a shine to her skin.

I feel my pants getting tighter around my croch, just thinking about the picture she later on sent to me. Her darkly outlined eyes, the radiant green colour of her orbs and the crimson lipstick she had on make me create dirty scenarios in my head, where the two of us are the protagonists. I almsit groan.

The jealous side of me is suddenly hitting its top button when I think about all the guys surrounding her at the moment. My eyes are the only ones that are allowed to look at her in the way, I imagine-no know-all the guys are looking at her at.

"Boss?" Joey's voice brings me back to reality. I shake my head and look around the table to see all of my men looking at me with concern. "Yes?" I reply.

"What do you think?" He asks. Luckily, the knock on the door, saves me and takes all the unwanted attention from me.

"Yes?" My voice is hard and demanding. The door opens a little, revealing my assistant. A lady in her late fifties, dressed in a long skirt and white blouse.

"Mr. De Rossi, I have someone on the phone for you." She politely says.

"Who?"

"Mrs. Smith, she said it is an emergency." Mrs. Greco, my assistant says, her already wrinkled forehead wrinkles more, telling me she herself is worried about what Summer's emergency might be. My heart instantly beats faster at her words and my body sets on high alert.

"The meeting is over. We'll have another one tomorrow." I tell my men and after a series of 'yes boss', they all leave. Joey pats my back sympathetically before following the others.

"Summer?" I ask into the phone, clutching it tightly between my fingers.

"Aiden!?" She shouts over the booming music in the background. "Thank god you answered! Can you pl-" I cut her off.

"Is Avery okay?" My voice booms, Mrs. Greco jumping at my sudden change of tone, but I don't care at this moment, the only thing on my mind is if she's okay.

"Uh ye-Avery get back here! Yes! She's, she's fine just a little drunk." She hesitates.

"Send me the address I'll be there in thirty." I sigh and hang up. I hand the phone back to Mrs. Greco and turn my own back on as I make my way out of the building and into the busy streets of New York.

Damn my office for being so far from her.

I get into my lambo and speed my way to the address Summer sent me.

Thirty minutes later, I'm parked in front of a two story house. The trees and bushes around the front lawn have toilet paper rolls thrown over them. The lights from inside the house are seen from outside and the music is heard from where I'm standing in front of my car. A few teenagers are standing in the front lawn, drinking from the classic red cups, smoking or just talking amongst themselves. All of them clad in some sort of Halloween costume.

I look around and see Summer, Avery and Ethan standing side by side on the driveway, probably waiting for me. Summer is clad in a black, tight dress with black wings and a black halo headband, while Ethan is clad in red with red devil ears. What makes my blood boil and my pants tighten to an excessive level is Avery.

The somehow innocent flowy, white dress she was wearing when I dropped her off at Summer's is gone, it's place has taken probably the sexiest dress I've seen her wear-I've seen and every other guy at this party. I curl my fists.

My eyes roam over her. It's low-cut showing the tops of her toned chest, the tight material hugs Avery's perfect curves. A slit sits on each of her creamy tighs, going halfway up, with gliterry fringes falling down the exposed skin. The bright colour complements her olive skin and the dark makeup adds up on the sensual look.

I stalk towards them, when I notice all the dudes looking at her back. I know for a fact that her ass is looking amazing in this dress.

"What the fuck is she wearing!?" I glare at Summer and Ethan. I understand by the way, Avery has her eyes half closed and swaying that she isn't in any condition of answering my question herself.

"She spilled peanut butter on her other dress and we didn't have anything else." Ethan looks at me apologetically.

"Dee-Dee!" Avery throws her arms up in the air and attempts to take a step towards me, but stumbles. I walk closer to her, ignoring the beat my heart skips at the nickname and wrap my arms protectively around her waist. "Hey, baby." I whisper softly against her forehead, placing a kiss on it before turning to my previous glare. Heads turning our way, at the close proximity between me and Ry don't go unnoticed by me, Summer or Ethan. But I don't care. I want everyone at this tupid party to see that she's mine.

"What did she take?" I demand. Ignoring everyone else around us.

"She drank punch, it was non alcoholic, or so we thought, I think it was spiked and I don't think it was just alcohol." Summer looks at me worriedly.

I pull my head back and look down at Avery who's leaning her chin against my chest, looking up at me. Her pupils are dilated, making the green colour almost dissappear and her face, throat and chest is red.

"Did someone touch her?" I grit out. Just the thought makes my blood boil. Summer shakes her head.

"Call someone to pick you two up." I tell them and walk back to my car, an arm securely wrapped around Ry's waist.

When I set her in the passenger seat, and pull the seat belt over her body, I get down on my knees taking the strapy heels off. A smile takes over my face when I see her stretch her toes and sigh in content. Next, I pull her wings and halo headband off, all the while she stays silent, looking at me with big eyes. After shuting her door, I put all her thing in the trunk, in the front of the car and get in the car myself.

"Aiden?" She says lowly, after moments of silence on the highway. I turn my head in her direction before looking back at the road. The strap of her dress has fallen down, and I can now see the tops of her strapless bra.

Taking a sharp breath, I answer. "Yes, princess?"

"Do you know what the bartender said when a book walked into the bar?" She smiles lazily. I look at her weirdly.

"What did he say?"

"No stories please!" She exclaims and falls into a fit of laughter. I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion, and listen on as her laughter gets louder after she snorts.

When I pull into the underground garage, Avery is asleep against the door, with her mouth wide open.

I sigh and make my way to her side of the car. I softly pull her dress strap up and grab her bridal style as I lead her inside the building, past the doorman standing in front of the reception desk and into my private elevator.

"Aiden?" She asks and touches my chin. Are those butterflies I feel?

"Yes, baby?"

"Can you sleep on the same bed as me tonight?" Her eyes water. With a frown, I bend my head to kiss away the tear falling out and nod at her, she smiles brightly showing her straight white teeth.

The door dings open, the lights in the foyer turning on automatically. I walk up the stairs, into the bathroom and set her on the counter of the sink. She steadies herself as I walk out to grab one of my shirts, the makeup wipes she forgot here a few days ago and her hair brush. Yes, I have half of my girls things in my apartment.

She warps her arms around my waist and leans her head back as I wipe away the makeup gently.

I feel her hands traveling lower my back as I stand between her legs and then both her hands grip my ass.

"You've got a nice butt there." She giggles, slapping one side and attempting to wink but fails when both her eyes close at the same time. The tooth-showing smile never once leaving her face.

"It's all yours," I breath, smirking, but I doubt she heard me as she continues holding a firm grip. I like this side of her. Fuck I'm getting hard.

I know that sober Avery would never do something like that. She's too shy. But I love it.

"Really nice butt." She mumbles with closed eyes, giving it a tight squeeze pulling me closer to her. My breath hitches when my crotch is mere inches away from hers, but I ignore it and brush her hair down once I'm done with her makeup. And her hands still on my ass.

I need a cold shower when I'm done with her. It'll prbably be the coldest of my life.

Pulling away, I make sure she's steady before I grab my shirt from beside her. Closing my eyes, I attempt to pull her dress up, but when the pressure of her hands holding down, I open my eyes again to see her looking at me with watery eyes.

"Baby, I won't touch you, I promise I'm not even looking, I'll just change you out of the dress and into my shirt." I hold it up to show her but she shakes her head. It would be a lie to say I'm not hurt by her thinking this way of me.

I would never touch her if she didn't want to. Especially when she's in souch a vulnerable state like this.

"No. I know you won't do anything, but I have stretch marks " She whispers, her voice cracking at the end. My expression changes into one of confusion.

When she tilts her head down, I immediately pull her chin up and cup her pretty face, so she can look straight into my eyes.

"Nothing, could ever make you less beautiful or attractive in my eyes. These marks are part of you and I lo-like," my eyes widen at the realisation of what I almost just said, but she keeps looking me with the same expression, so I doubt she noticed. "Like all of you, body and soul. Nothing could change that. Ever." A tear slides down her flushed cheek.

"Than-thank you for saying this to me." She stutters, abruptly wrapping her arms around my neck, where she buries her face. My arms wrap around her waist, and I hold her tight when her body shakes with soft sobs.

What kind of drugs is she on? I doubt she would cry this hard in normal circumentances.

I let myself drift away as I hold her shaking form. I almost told her. It slipped. Does that mean that it is how I feel? If it is, I don't know if I should tell her, I don't know if she's ready to hear something like that yet.

Her body stops shaking and I notice her breathing even out. Pulling away, to look at her, I see her eyes closed and her mouth open, like in the car. I smile down at the sleeping angel in my arms and securely wrap my arms tighter around her waist as I pull her up. Careful not to touch any souther.

When I place her on my bed, her sleepy body falls back against the mattress. Closing my eyes again I try to pull her dress straps down and slide her dress off.

When it successfully lays on the floor beside my feet, I blindly again, pull her head through the collar of my shirt long her arms and slide it down her body.

Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, I pull her up, just to put her down higher up the bed again.

The need of being close to my girl gets the better of me, I decide against the cold shower and change into a pair of sweatpants. I climb in the bed beside her, pulling the dark covers over us both. She cuddles into my chest, sighing in content.

"I love you." I whisper, kissing her hair and drifting off myself.
