Be yourself. Love yourself.

I turned the bracelet on my wrist and caressed the names written there.

Dawn. Angel. Forever.

“Miss Violet? We are here, ma’am,” Stephen’s voice brought me back in the moment.

I closed my eyes and buried the memories of my mom and Angel in the depths of my mind.

“Thank you,” I said and walked into the fancy restaurant…

The restaurant was fancy. It reeked of money with every step I took. As soon as I stepped inside, a guy in a grey suit greeted me.

“Hello, Miss. Do you have a reservation?” he asked with cool professionalism. He reminded me of Antonio Banderas. Maybe it was his accent.

“I’m here to meet Alex and Xander Vincent,” I answered and gave him my coat.

“Oh, Miss Violet. Mister Vincent is waiting for you. This way ma’am,” he said and motioned for someone to take his place.

We walked further into the lobby, headed toward the breakfast/lunch area and I saw him immediately since he was catching a lot of attention with his biker look.

He was different than I remembered. He wasn’t only casual, he was killing the biker- badass look with lots of contrast in this fancy restaurant. I stopped to drink in his look. He was playful, flirty and too good-looking. It was a pretty dangerous combination for a girl’s heart.

As he lifted his glass to his lips, he spotted me and with a charming smirk he walked toward me.

“Violet…hi, gorgeous,” he said and placed a kiss on my lips that caught me off-guard. It was a soft and brief kiss but I wasn’t expecting him to kiss me. I wanted more, though. I wanted all he, they, could give me.

I noticed the fake Antonio Banderas was watching us but he kept his distance, thankfully. I cleared my throat and smiled to hide my surprise.

“Hi, Alex.”

“Would you like to hang out here for awhile? Otherwise, we can go to our own table?” Alex said gently. I liked that he was giving me options. I doubted Xander would ever do that.

“I think, we can go to the table you chose,” I murmured. We were standing in the middle of the area and because of Alex’s too damn good look, everyone was watching us. I wanted to sit at our table so we could get rid of these stares.

“Good choice. I think, you’ll like the view,” he said and walked me back to the lobby. Fake Antonio was following us. I thought we could walk without him.

“Where are we going?” I asked confused when we reached to the elevators.

“Is everything ready, Clark?” Alex asked to the fake-Antonio. Hmm, his name was Clark. Okay.

“Yes, Mr. Vincent. Your table is ready, the way you wanted it.” Clark answered.

“Thank you. You can leave now.” Alex dismissed him.

“Alex? Where are we going? I thought it would be a breakfast meeting,” I said nervously.

“To the roof,” he smirked at me.

“You won’t push me down from it, right?” I laughed.

“The only thing I’ll push you down will be my bed, Violet,” he winked at me.

Before I could reply him, the elevator doors opened and we walked in. Five more people came in after us. I didn’t like closed spaces but I hated it when it was crowded. I couldn’t help but step back to get away from the crowd.

I felt an arm wrapped around my waist from behind.

“Claustrophobic?” Alex whispered to my ear.
