Goodbyes
Writer
“One more date before you leave for New York,” Edward walked into the kitchen when she was making a smoothie. She moved the blender to the sink when the maid rushed to get it and stopped her.
“Thank you,” she smiled and placed the straw in her mouth, enjoying the taste that hit her tongue.
“You know it’s weird seeing you in this mood,” she circled her hands at him, while they walked beside each other…
“What mood?”
“This Happy, cheerful mood like you ain’t scary at all,” she shuddered at her words while he smacked his lips ignoring her words…
“So what do you say?” He asked and opened the door to her room, while she walked in and he followed.
“About?” She sat on the bed taking her smoothie.
“The date,” he voiced out calmly.
“To be honest, I just want to lay on the bed and slowly get ready for my flight,” She said truthfully…
“I really don’t want to go anywhere,” she added.
“Who says you got to leave the house anyway?” He stated, peering into her interest.
“What are you talking about?” She was curious to know.
“We could have our date here?” He pointed out, but she got more confused…
“I could have them set up something for the both of us and it doesn’t involve anyone leaving the mansion,” he explained proudly.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Okay but that ain’t necessary,” I stated a and he gave me a weird look as if I had entirely said the wrong thing
“Of course it is. Tell me anybody who remembers a boring day in their life rather than a fun one?” He questions…
“Your point exactly?” She was done with her smoothie already…
“Titling this as a date is going to give you that excitement to dress up and show up as your best even if we don’t have a location because of you. But just cause we are doing this on a date basis, you are going to pull up,” he pauses.
“Cause in the end you’re only going to remember memories which are extremely special to you and smile about them rather than a night where you lay in bed.” He explained and she looked at him in a whole new light agreeing he was right.
“Okay Mr. Edward, I’m going to get ready for our date. Only and only if you promise to help me pack my bags,” she gazed and he lifted his head while chuckling as he agreed to her.
“I’ll see you soon,” he walked to the door and rushed back to kiss her forehead. Then rushing back to the door before yelling “Make sure to get ready,”

The whole poolside had this perfect lighting setup done, and beautiful petals in the water, while small chops were kept on the wooden chair beside the pool.
“I’ll give you a three out of five,” she chuckled and found a comfy place to.
“Fair enough,” Edward chuckled.
“I’m going to miss having you here,” he said and poured out wine into their glasses while she looked at him with a warm smile.
Who was she kidding, she knew deep down she was going to miss him a lot. They had their differences but Edward had been someone she felt so drawn to.
“I’ll miss you too,” she took a moment but said it to him, and it gladdens his heart…
“Make sure to take care of yourself, Amore!”
“Don’t fall sick,” he instructed.
“Don’t overwork,” she nods, listening to him…
“Once you are tired, take a break and rest,” he added with a serious tone…
“Yes Daddy,” she rolled her eyes, and he looked at her briefly before smiling…
“You know I like that don’t you,” he said and pulled his face closer to her.
“Like what?” She feigned ignorance and sipped her drink while he bit his lips and laughed…
“Okay, keys pretend you didn’t just say daddy,” he smiled, and she turned her head away blushing really hard…

“What else do you need,” Edward asked and she smiled at her concentration. He was trying to help her pack her things for her flight…
“Those shoes by the closet,” she pointed out, and he pulled them and handed them over to her.
“That’s all of it,” she stood on her feet, and zipped her suitcase, before pushing it against the wall…
“You’re sure?”
“Yeah I’m certain that’s all,” she responded and Edward walked to her closet, opened it up, and looked around the mini wardrobe in it when he found one of her panties.
“And thus?” He waved it at her face, causing her to widen her eyes.
“Give me that,” she tried to reach out to it but he pulled his hands away quickly.
“I thought you said you got everything,” he chuckled, staring at her, while she eyed him embarrassed.
“Edward?” She called his name as a warning, but he only smiled.
“Relax, I’m just going to keep this one like the last one,” he puts it into his pocket, leaving her stunted, while she smiles as she recalls the last incident.
“Get ready, I’ll drop you at the airport,” he walked out of her room leaving her falling on her bed…

Edward drove her to the airport and throughout the ride, he held her hands and smiled at her that it made her heart flutter. He knew they would see again, but he also knew it was going to be a while. Even if he wanted her to stay, he knew Maliah wasn’t going to, so he chose to spend the last few hours with her beautifully and memorably…
“My plane isn’t that way? Where are you taking me?” She questioned while he held her hands and walked with her…
“My love is going to be on my private jet receiving the luxury she deserves,” she gasped at the sight of him, looking at him bewildered while the pilot came to greet him, before turning to her and doing the same.
“Edward?” She called out stunned.
“Thank you,” she said sincerely when the stewardess took her suitcase inside.
“Have a safe flight, Amore, and call me when you get there” he smiled at her, as she jumped on him, giving him a really tight hug…
“Goodbye Edward,” she said and looked at him sadly, before turning to leave…
“Goodbye love,” he whispered and waved at her, as she got into the jet…
