Chapter 97
- Flight to New York
<<. Avery,>>
I am almost done packing my stuff for the New York trip. Miles is sitting on a settee in a corner and munching on God knows what.
“You better control how much you eat…” I comment. “You have been munching like a pregnant lady lately.”
He laughs.
“Someone is behaving like a wife.”
I look away, my cheeks beet red.
“I mean, not even once I have seen you work out…” I mean, it would be nice for once if he joins me in the gym or something.
“Oh Sex is an excellent exercise, Avery. He smirks and I roll my eyes.
“We are fucking like rabbits nowadays. Stop it.”
He shrugs. “It is our honeymoon phase, after all.”
I zip up my suitcase and turn to face him. He looks up at me with those gorgeous blue eyes, and I can feel myself melting.
“I’m going to miss you,” I say, walking over to him and sitting on the armrest of the settee.
“I’ll miss you too,” he replies, putting his arm around my waist and pulling me closer.
We sit there for a few moments, just enjoying each other’s company, before I remember something.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” I say, reaching into my purse and pulling out a small box. “I got you a present.”
Miles eyes me as he holds the gift box. “I hope you are not getting back at me.”
I snort. “You shouldn’t play dirty tricks at me, then get afraid that I might get back at you….”
A few days back, Miles gave me a tiny box. I opened it in excitement, only to see a cockroach pop out of it. I was so angry at him. Then he defended himself, saying at least the cockroach wasn’t a real one. Jerk. And I’m sure right now he is wondering if I have gifted him a real cockroach..
He opens it. Inside is a silver bracelet with a small charm in the shape of a guitar.
“It’s beautiful,” he grins, fastening it around his wrist. Then he pulls me closer for a kiss.

Chapter 97
I smile, feeling happy that I could do something nice for him. Because he has been pampering me too much lately.
“Now,” I say, standing up and picking up my suitcase. “I better get going or I will miss the flight.”
Miles nods and gets up as well, grabbing his car keys to drop me to the airport.
As we head out the door, I can’t help but feel enthusiastic for my trip to New York. It’s going to be amazing. Lena will join me on Monday. Jake is super excited that I am finally giving him his girlsister back.
Miles starts the car, and we make our way to the airport.
“You are quiet,” Miles says.
I smile and shrug. “It feels bittersweet that I am going to wrap up New York for good.”
He nods. We turn on the radio and I wince when the radio jockey talks about Ethan’s fuck up.
It’s odd. With miles, it feels like I’m living inside my own bubble. Where most of the news either doesn’t make its way to me or it doesn’t affect me anymore.
I wonder if my bubble will burst in New York when I will stay there without him for a week.
News is high in the media that his assets have been frozen for investigation. He was very furious with dad. As dad refused to show him public support.
He deserves that. Della and Ethan deserve each other.
“What are you thinking?” Miles asks.
