A DAY FOR US

**AURORA'S POV**

Do you know the feeling when you get giddy for some reason unknown to you? That's the same I am feeling right now. I have been standing in front of the mirror for some minutes but I am still not satisfied with my look. I have never been so careful about my look or appearance but today I want to look my best. This is the first time I am going out with Nicholas after telling him about Matthew and I want to enjoy every moment of it.

I have chosen a skin-fitting dress with minimum makeup on my face and for shoes, I have worn nude block heels. I have tried to keep it moderate in hope that Nicholas will like how I am look.

"Fantastic Aurora." Mom says coming to my room. I turn around with a smile to see that she has Skittles in her arms.

"Thank you Mom. But who are you holding Skittles?" I ask curiously while kissing my baby's head.

"Can't I just hold my first ever grand daughter in my arms?" She retorts making me giggle.

"By the way, I am really happy with your decision to be with Nicholas and not only that, you have done correctly by telling him about your divorce. Because every relationship should be started with truth." She says smiling at me.

"But I still have to tell him about my infertility. I just wish he will stay with me after knowing my condition." I let out with a sigh.

"As far as I understand him, all I can say is that he is an honest person who knows the difference between right or wrong. So, I think he will stay with you even after knowing about your condition." She replies.

"But how will you stay here alone? Dad is also not here to keep you company." I remark

"Don't worry, Jacob is on his way. We are going to have a lazy day and before you ask any more questions, why don't you check your phone because I think someone just send you a text." She comments making me gasp because I nearly forget that Nicholas has told me that he will text me after reaching in from the first building.

I look at my phone to see that indeed Nicholas is waiting for me so hurriedly get my clutch and mobile before going out of the room but not before kissing Mom's cheek. Upon arriving outside of the building I notice that Nicholas is leaning against his car.

"How am I looking?" I ask shyly.

"Delicious enough to eat." He replies teasingly making me blush.

"Why do you always have to be a pervert?" I remark whining a little.

"Can't I even compliment you?" He asks pouting making me chuckle.

"You can compliment me with simple words like nice, good or beautiful." I reply sassily.

"Naah, that will be too lame." He remarks winking at me.

"Okay, you win Mr. Moretti. So, can we leave?" I ask shaking my head.

"Of course, my precious." He replies bowing down to me.

I see that he has an amusing look on his face making me pout. He chuckles and takes my hand in his before we get inside his car but what surprises me is that he is the one who is going to drive the car.

"Why are you driving the car and where is the driver?" I ask when he starts the car.

"I have told you yesterday that we will be sharing some alone time so I have decided not to take anyone with us." He replies while taking my left hand in his right hand and drive the car with his left hand.

"Then what about your bodyguards? I have seen them getting in their cars." I know I am asking a lot of questions but I am just being curious.

"They will be following us but they will not disturb us. If it was in my hand then I would not have taken them with us but you know I can not just go around like common people." He answers back.

I nod my head because I have seen how media tries to know every little thing about his personal life. After a few minutes of driving, he stops the car in front of a huge building. I look at him with confusion because I thought we are going to sightseeing. He gets out first then open my side of the door. When I get out of the car he takes my hand and head towards the building. We pass a lot of workers on our way who give us a look of recognition.

"What is this place, Nicholas? Why are we here?" I ask when we get inside the elevator.

"It is my new company building." He replies with a smile.

When we get out of the elevator he opens another door which leads us into a rooftop but again, I stop walking seeing the thing in front of me.

"It's the start, you are going to get a lot of surprises today. Also, don't worry I will not let anything happen to you." He says while wrapping an arm around my waist. I smile at him because he remembers that I am scared of height.

After shaking hands with the pilot we get inside the helicopter and sit down. I tightly hold his hand who squeezes my hand in response. However, my fear of height have long forgotten when I get to enjoy the views of the Los Angeles Basin. He points out the places and describes them. I get to see Santa Monica Mountains along with the Sun Fernando Valley. But the most exciting thing I see is the sign of HOLLYWOOD in the Hollywood Hills area.

I am sure that I have a big smile on my face all the time we spent in the helicopter looking at the beautiful places. After a few hours of journey, the helicopter takes us back to the rooftop of the building. Bidding goodbye to the pilot we get out of the building and reach the car. Then we get in a place call Rodeo Drive and after parking the car in a secluded area we stroll there while holding hands. He tries to take me shopping in the malls out there but I deny saying I want to walk around the place to see more things. He happily grants my wish and that's what we do for a few hours before dinner.

For dinner we go to a small place in the same street. After eating and paying for the food we get inside the car and start driving towards our last destination which is Beverly Garden Park. Thankfully, there are not many people in the park so we get to walk around in silence.

"Did you enjoy today?" He asks after we sit down on the stairs in front of the Lilypond.

"Yes, I did. Thank you very much for bringing me to see so many beautiful places." I reply with a smile.

"You know Precious I don't know much about you." He comments making me look at him funnily.

"Don't give me that look. It's not false that I really don't know anything about you but I want to know everything about you." He says while wrapping an arm around my shoulder making me lean towards him.

"In that way, I also don't know about you so let's ask each other questions. What do you say?" I ask while looking at him.

"Hmm, that's a good idea. Okay then let's start." He replies and we start to ask questions to each other and get to know a lot of things. However, I get worried when he asks me about my study because I don't want him to think of me as a failure.

"Don't hesitate to share anything with me. I know when you said that you don't know anything about business, you were clearly lying. So, please tell me what you're hiding from me." He urges making me think about my decision not to tell anyone but he is my boyfriend and he has been nothing but supportive of me till now. So, I decide to tell him about one of the biggest secrets of my life.

"I was a student of B. Tech but before I could get my degree, Dad stopped me from going to college as he thought that I would get out of his hands. Mom also supported him because she could never go against him. I wanted to complete my degree so badly that I begged them to let me study but they didn't listen to me. They shredded my books and notes just before the final exams. They locked me up in my room so that I couldn't go to the college to give exams. That's how my education stopped in the midway leaving me a worthless person who couldn't even complete her study." My voice cracks while narrating the horrific moment of my past.

I never wanted to recall that part of my life because I know I can not handle the pain of not being able to complete my study. I wanted to show everyone that I am not worthless, especially to Dad but my dream of standing on my feet broke down the moment my parents tore apart my books.
