Two weeks after.
"I can't make food, I'm completely useless," I screamed for the third time today. I'm so frustrated, I have been on home arrest since my altercation with Zavi's dad and it's been two weeks with no sight of my boyfriend.
Everyone had deserted me, Irene whom I thought to be useful was always sneaking out with an excuse that she can't be grounded with me. Zavi and Alec had gone on a business trip.
"How do I start now?." I screamed again.
I saw Will walk past the kitchen and I shouted out of frustration and threw the kitchen knife into the sink.
Will came back and looked at me.
"Get your shit together!!."
He left before I could answer him, humming.
He's such an ass.
I grabbed my phone and dialed Zavi's number.
It rang three times with no one answering. I called Alec.
Alec picked at the second ring and before he could say something, I screamed, "If Zavi doesn't answer my calls this minute, i swear to god, I'll go out there and look for who to fuck!!." I screamed and ended the call.
I dialed his number and he picked it up almost immediately.
"Nora, I'm very busy and I'll try to reach out to you later." He said immediately trying to hang up.
"You wanna try me?."
"Nora…"
"Zavi."
There was silence.
"Okay, fine. I'll be back by 5."
I walked out of the kitchen, "I can't wait. I want you home now." I hung up.
I saw Will pacing around the sitting room and ignored him.
"I'm so bored, if Zavi finally comes home, I'll ask for an exit. It's so frustrating.." He said to me.
I sank my butt on the cushion and began playing candy crush on my phone.
"You're not gonna do anything?." He asked after some time.
I smirked.
It's time for him to get bored. I thought he didn't play at all.
"Nora.."
"What?." I shouted, looking up at him.
He raked his hand through his blonde hair, feeling shy, "Do you wanna play video games with me?."
"I don't know how to," I replied frantically.
"Please…"
I ignored him, focusing on my boring game. His offer is so tempting.
"Fine. I'm sorry."
I dropped my phone and folded my arms.
"Why are you sorry?."
"I'm sorry that I've been ignoring you. Damn it!."
"You're not forgiven!." I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed the remote.
A few minutes passed.
I looked up at William who already passed out of boredom on the bean bag.
I checked my wristwatch, "Do you know when Zavi would come?."
He hesitated.
"Uhm..he should be in town today, he has some catch-up to do in the internal storage."
Then he should be home in 25 minutes.

Zavi Coville.
When she hung up, Alec asked to take care of other things so I could answer her honorable excellency.
***
I nodded to the bodyguards at the front door before walking in. I was instantly attacked by the lioness herself. She went into my arms, oh my! Nora is fucking heavy. I almost couldn't hold her now.
"You've got to lose some weight, V."
She frowned and went out of my arms, she punched my arm, "Ugh!." Her fists are so strong.
"You left me all alone for three weeks, are you crazy?." She tried to hit me again and I dodged it.
"It's two weeks," I mumbled.
She frowned, "Okay, I'm sorry. I won't do that again. Come here." I opened my arms for her and she leapt into me as I held her tiny waist.
Will cleared his throat, getting us to look at him. "Welcome, boss. I'm going."
He left without waiting for me to answer him.
I grabbed Nora's cheek, "Hope you didn't give him a hard time?."
She shrugged, "I'm not a troublemaker."
"You are," I mumbled.
"I'm not."
I sighed, arguing with Nora is like choosing Twilight over Vampire's diary.
"You're always right, my love," I said and planted a small kiss on her lips.
She grinned.
"I have a surprise for you, Nora."
Her eyes twinkled, "Really? Where's it?." She asked excitedly.
"Come." I held her hand and led her outside.
We stood in front of the white-tinted Roll Royce. I heard her gasp beside me and I turned to look at her.
"The car's so beautiful." She exclaimed,
"Well, it's yours. I got it for you."
"OH MY GOD! The car's for me?." She asked unbelievably, her lips opening and closing up at the same time.
"Zavi, this is my car?." She asked again.
I nodded, handing her the car key.
"I can't believe this…I mean I'm the owner of that expensive car, that is fucking my dream car."
She squealed and jumped on me. I carried her up and twirled her around as her laugh filled my ear.
"You deserve more, Nora," I mumbled, she kissed my lips and ran in front of the car.
"I'm your owner, did you hear that?." She asked the car, spraying her arms on it.
"I'm gonna name you, frosty, hey frosty..meet your mama." I laughed, she already gave it a name. I almost forgot my second surprise but I wanted her to smile all she wants, she deserves happiness.

It's getting late and Nora is out there driving frosty around, I had gone in to make her dinner, and that was my second surprise. I learned how to cook a french meal while on this vacation and I wanted to make her a nice dinner.
I walked outside to remind her that she hasn't eaten anything yet out of excitement.
"Hey, V. Come in and have dinner."
She looked at me from the car and slowly killed the engine. She ran up to me, "I forgot, let me order some…."
"I made dinner."
Her eyes rose, "You did what?." She walked past me, going towards the kitchen.
But then stopped when her eyes met the table I set in the corner, roses covered all over the floor leading to the table, I had set the two different french dinners I made on the table.
I carefully took out a chair for her to sit on, "What are these?." She asked me.
I went to sit across from her, I slowly held her hand and replied, "That is Boeuf Bourguignon."
"French?." She asked in surprise.
"I learned it in Paris, darling."
Her eyes glinted, "I'd like to try out. It's mouth-watering love."
She grabbed the spoon and took a spoonful to her mouth. I watched as her mouth widened, "This is good." She muffled, chewing it softly.
When she was done, I smiled and pushed the Coq au Vin to her face, she grabbed another spoon and dug into the chicken.
She looked up, "It's made with chicken?." She asked me.
I gave her a nod to try it out. She smiled and ate another spoon.
"Wow!."
"You learned all these in two weeks? I doubt if I'm ever gonna be hungry again."
I chuckled.
"I made it for you. You deserve more than food, clothes, cars, and houses. You deserve more than all the expensive wine, baby." I took her hand to my lips and kissed it softly.
"I love you, Nora."
She smiled, her eyes glinting happily.
"I love you too, and I love frosty too. I love you more, uhm..just to tell you I love that baby out there."
I bent down and laughed.
