Chapter 16

Ava’s POV

As we reached the car, I let Damien drive this time wanting to enjoy my cotton candy. I placed Mr. Teddy in the back seat. It was fun having the chance to let loose and relive my childhood days. As my mother even when she did not have money, she always brought me to amusement parks, and we would just walk around watching everything.

But as University came, I never took the time to go to one.

As Damien started driving, I wondered where he was taking us, and he refused to tell me when I asked. I was now wearing his sunglasses and listening to some music.

My curiosity continued to pique as we drove out of the city as this was turning into a spontaneous road trip and I was all up for it. But then the car stopped at what looked like a private aircraft hangar.

As Damien came and opened the car door for me, I was already jumping in excitement on the inside as I wondered what we were here for.

Taking my hand into his, he led us inside and my eyes widened as I spotted a private jet with his name on it. But instead of heading there, he took my hand and led us to a helicopter pad where a posh looking helicopter was.

“Hello sir,” One of the Pilots said in greeting walking over to us.

“Hi Ron, I am taking this one. I hope the fuel and check-ups are all in order?” Damien asked, making my eyes widen as I realized that we were really going to fly.

He chatted some more details with the pilots, as I looked around.

Then he called me over and we got into the helicopter.

My eyes widened as he sat on the pilot seat, “You can fly?” I asked curiously

“Yes, and don't worry, I have a pilot license, so you are in safe hands,” Damien replied while giving me a teasing wink.

“I trust you,” I replied with my own smile as I joined him, sitting at the front too.

I stared outside at the view in wonder as the helicopter started taking off.

Soon we were up in the air, my eyes taking in everything, the beautiful scenery.

I even smiled excitedly as Damien flew us over the Grand Canyon too! I could only sigh at each breathtaking view.

And even gave Damien a grateful look for this experience.

We continued flying for a while and then finally landed at our destination.

I quickly took off my shoes to feel the golden sand beneath my feet.

We had just arrived at some private beach. And knowing Damien, I was sure that he owned it too!

There was even a beautiful Beach house from afar. With glass walls and a grand interior on the inside.

Instead of heading there, I instead took off my dress and threw it to the ground. Leaving myself in only my bra and panties. Then I ran to the water screaming happily as I jumped into the waves. With Damien following behind too after throwing off his shirt and joining my craziness.

As soon as he was in the water, I quickly threw some water, splashing him on the face. He gave me a fake glare and started chasing me there in the water. Splashing back at me too with my laughter filling the air. He even caught me and carried me on his shoulders like cavemen and then threw me back into the water with him.

Once done enjoying the beachy salty waters, we finally got out and sat on the sand with me laying in his arms to stare at the view. The beautiful waves of the sea, gently beating against the rocks. The beautiful sunset with birds flying all around. The whole mood was just romantic.

Right now, being with him, all I felt was bliss. I felt comfortable talking with him about my life, past, and even past bad relationships.

And he surprised me too, as he told me about his own heartbreak too. A woman from his past he had fallen for. But she had never loved him and only wanted his money.

“She made me give up on love and women, until I met you,” Damien continued as I turned my head, locking my eyes with his.

I was touched by the vulnerability which I could see in his eyes. He really did have genuine feelings for me.

And weirdly enough, I felt the same for him.

I had come here to New York not looking for love. But it seemed to have been waiting for me this whole time.

“I can promise you this Ava, I will never try to cheat or hurt you as he did. Once I fall for someone, I give it my all. Please give me a chance to be with you,” he finished, gently brushing his hand against my cheek.

“Okay, will you let me be your girlfriend, Damien Payne?” I could not help but ask with a teasing smile.

“Gladly,” he whispered with delight shining in his eyes and leaning down for our lips to meet.

Only for me to be lost in the sensational feeling of his lips meeting mine.

As the kiss got hotter, he stood up and swept me into his arms.

Then headed for the glass looking beach house where he threw me to the bed, and we continued making love all night long.
