Thank you to every one who reviewed, alerted and favorited! Here is a big fat chapter as a reward!
Special thanks to IHeartScience who agreed to be the Beta for this story, you have the best ideas!
I have something to clear up! I got a lot of people saying that Amy and Ian are too OOC. Well through out this story you'll read about two sides of Ian and Amy. One side will be of the of the past, you'll see that side of them in the flashbacks it'll be IC. Another will be of the present timing (winter break) it'll have the more OOC Ian and Amy, as you read on you'll see how they came to be like that. If you got any questions PM me or ask me in the reviews.
Amy had been looking forward to a romantic winter break with her boyfriend but instead she was stuck with her annoyingly gorgeous ex-boyfriend and his equally gorgeous sister. Wasn't she suppose to feel sad and frustrated 'cause of the change of events? Instead she felt warm and bubbly inside… just like that time Paris with Ian. "STOP IT!", Amy screamed in her head. She could not afford to think like that. Ian Kabra was her ex-boyfriend…therefore her past, he had nothing to do with her future. Just as Amy snapped out of her little mental intervention, a sleek black limo pulled
up to the curb.
Limo's never really impressed Amy, but the boy that stepped out of the limo sure did- enough to make her gasp. He was as breathtaking as ever, with his perfectly angular chiseled features, sloped nose, styled raven-black hair and amber eyes. Ian looked even more kissable than the last time Amy had seen him- outside the top security cell in Madrigal prison where Ian's psychopath mother was being held.
"Hello Amy!", Natalie said in an impatient tone.
Amy blushed, she was so busy staring at Ian that she completely forgot about Natalie… And no one forgets about The Natalie Kabra.
"Oh! Um... Hey Natalie", Amy said trying to push the thoughts of a certain gorgeous Kabra out of her mind. When Ian finally noticed Amy sneaking peeks at him and he couldn't help but smirk, he knew she couldn't resist him… for long.
"Well you guys seem to be staying for a long time." Amy said with a hint of worry in her voice, as she eyed the growing pile of luggage the driver had started to unloaded.
"Two weeks. Didn't I mention it over the phone, love?", Ian replied.
Amy POV.
"Two weeks" I repeated, carefully ridding my voice and face of any emotion.
FLASHBACK
The little balcony was illuminated by dozens of fairy lights in different tones of blue and yellow. There was a soft furry blanket on the floor and on top was a huge picnic basket giving off a dangerously delicious aroma. Everything was so beautiful and perfect I could barely comprehend my surroundings.
"Do you like it?", a voice purred in my ear.
I still was frozen in awe, so I just nodded.
"Is that all I get for spending my whole afternoon decorating this pathetic balcony for the love of my life?" Ian asked with mock disappointment.
His voice thawed me and I turned around and wrapped my arms around Ian, his arms quickly found my waist and held me in a tight embrace. I brought my mouth towards his ear. "I really really love it! Thank you!", I sighed.
"Well that's more like it" Ian said kissing my neck- sending a shiver down my back.
He then led me to the blanket and sat down next to me, "I brought your favorite foods and some white roses..", Ian nervously muttered.
"Why did the great Ian Kabra get his hands dirty for some pathetic love-sick girl?", I laughed at him.
"Honestly?" he asked uncertainly. Ian's face was twisted in worry.
My heartbeat accelerated, "Sure…"
"Well I have to go back to London as soon as possible to take over my father's art business. So I just wanted to say goodbye before I left… I'm leaving tomorrow morning."
My breath stopped, "So this is it for us?" , I asked.
"No… you can come to London with me.", Ian said hurriedly
"I can't! I have Dan and School, and my life is in Boston", I cried desperately.
"Then I'll come to visit you, as often as I can."
"How often would that be?" I countered with a sniff.
"I don't know ,love. I don't know." Ian whispered as he dropped my hands and turned around.
Seeing him so visibly frustrated just broke my heart ," Oh Ian! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you frustrated. We've only been together for two weeks and I don't want it to be over so quickly. It's just, that I really love you!"
This caused him to turn around and cup my head in his hands. "It's okay it's not your fault, love. I'm frustrated because my family has taken everything away from you. Your parents, a normal childhood, and happiness. And now even after they are locked up behind bars they still are taking stuff away from you… and from us."
I stood their for a minute just staring at Ian as his speech took full affect. I know Isabel killed my mom and Vikrim is the top suspect for vesper 1 but still they didn't take as much from me as they took from Ian.
"It's okay. I know what they've done and I know what I've lost but the past is the past. Don't beat yourself up about it that'll just hurt me. You know I love you and that I forgive you so just chill."
"Okay" Ian said his voice emotionless.
"Okay, let's make the most of tonight.", I said with enthusiasm
Ian watched me with careful eyes as I poured some pink lemonade into two champagne glasses.
"To the best two weeks of my life.", I toasted.
"To the best two weeks of my life', Ian repeated. His face breaking into a smile.
FLASHBACK
The bitter-sweet memory passed through her head in just mere seconds. "The Kabra's didn't notice anything", Amy thought. But little did she know that the flash of emotion that showed in her eyes for seconds did not go unnoticed. Ian had been thinking of that same memory for awhile, he remembered all those bizarre emotions that he had experienced that day. He guessed that Amy had experienced them too and was still holding onto them, Ian hoped it would help him soften her feeling towards him. When he saw recognition flash through her eyes, Ian knew his plan was working.
An oblivious Natalie soon spoke up, "Amy! I can't believe I'm saying this to you but I love your coat!".
Amy's head snapped up, it's not everyday that Natalie Kabra compliments on your outfit. "I thought you'd like it, after all you picked it out."
"Yes. I remember, it's Burberry isn't it?"
"Yes!", I said enthusiastically, looking down at my knee-length tweed coat in my favorite tones of cream, brown and orange.
"Well it looks great on you! Finally you look good enough for my bro-", Natalie stopped abruptly and looked from Ian to Amy. She hoped they didn't notice her slip up. There was a uncomfortably awkward silence between the trio.
"Umm… Well thank you Natalie.", Amy said awkwardly after awhile but than lapsed back into silence
"Well it's great you ladies have a shared interest in fashion but I think we should get inside. The chauffer has already transferred the luggage inside.'' Ian said breaking the iceberg.
"Okay then, follow me.", Amy said uneasily meeting Ian's gaze.
Amy lead the Kabras from the driveway to the grand entrance way and on the steps was the one and only Dan Cahill holding his on to girlfriend's hand.
"Hello Cobras and Nerdy sister.", Dan said as he greeted the little group.
"Hello Daniel.", Natalie replied sweetly.
"Hiya Nat! Why'd you tag along? Did you miss me already? You know it's only been like a couple months.", Daniel teasingly addressed Natalie.
"Daniel you shouldn't talk about our past in front of your girlfriend, she might find out.", Natalie mockingly scolded Dan.
"Dan, what does she mean, I'll find out?", Stacy asked Dan worriedly.
Dan's face fell, he could see what Natalie was trying to do, but before he could open his mouth to reassure Stacy , Natalie spoke up.
"Oh honey hasn't Daniel told you?!", Natalie said her voice full of pity and her face twisted in concern.
"Daniel? WHAT THE HELL IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?!", Stacy shouted.
Again before Dan could open his mouth Natalie beat him to the punch.
"Well before you Daniel and I… well I'm sure you should here it from him." Natalie said. Shaking her head, she moved her gaze from Stacy to Dan, "How could you've kept it from her for so long! She deserves the truth… you know if you love her, that is.", Natalie ended by raising her eyebrows before briskly turning around in such a way that it was certain Dan wasn't the only one who saw her sexy hot-pink thong she worn under her short black pleated micro-mini skirt.
"Every word she said was a lie, every bit was a FRICKEN LIE! Stacy don't believe a word she said!", Dan shouted furiously.
"I don't know Dan she sounded pretty sincere!", Stacy shouted back, her body shaking uncontrollably .
"Of course she did! She's a bloody Lucain! She's the QUEEN of DECIEVING AND LYING! Stacy you don't understand!", Dan shouted and started shooting daggers at Natalie who was standing on the top step with of grand entryway.
"A Lucain? What the bloody hell is that Dan?! And of course I don't understand right! That's your answer to everything nowadays! If you say she's lying then why don't you tell me what she's talking about?", Stacy shouted her voice full of hysteria.
"I'm telling you the truth Stacy! I don't know what the f^ck she's fricken talking about! She's lying, cause there was nothing between us EVER!", Dan argued back his face red with fury.
Amy who had been standing by confused by the events that had just occurred, thought of saving her brother from an explanation but of course before she had chance to say something Natalie interjected.
"What! So your saying what we had between us was NOTHING! Is that how you treat all your girlfriends? Stacy I wouldn't trust him to much!", Natalie cried her eyes filling up with tears.
"Oh shut up Natalie! I know your just trying to break us up!", Dan snapped at Natalie.
"Why the hell are you shouting at her! She just told me something that you kept a secret from me for so long! It's not her fault that your such a flirt! Stop being so cruel to her! You know what if you're gonna be like that than we're over!", Stacy screamed at Dan before storming off to her car.
"You happy now! That's what you wanted, didn't you Natalie?", Dan spat at Natalie, before running off to Stacy.
After Dan was out of sight Natalie sighed and asked impatiently "Can we go in now?".
Not knowing what to say Amy just lead the Kabras silently to the house.
