Avery's mother looks him over from head to toe. Wearing a white shirt, blue trousers, and holding a blue coat on his arm, he looked nothing less than any superstar in the dark moonless night. His expression reminded her of a calm peace before a storm, his eyes giving away that the storm was even coming. Clearly he's not pleased to be standing in front of Avery's small childhood home. Despite that though he still reminded her mother of a god of beauty. Too handsome to truly be real.

As soon as he hears that Avery is sleeping, he makes his way inside the house. Her mother moves out of his way, not daring to stop him since he clearly is a man on a mission. She cannot contain her confusion though watching him go over to Avery with a frown on his face, "I'm guessing Avery didn't tell you she was coming here today," she says hesitantly, taking a guess as to what's going on.

As soon as he hears her question the young man realizes what's going on, "She did tell me, but I missed her too much. So, I came here to bring her." He lies to help hide Avery's lies, not wanting her to get in trouble with her mother. He bends down near her sleeping form and gently moves strands of hair from her face, tucking them behind her ear.

To him, she looks like a small fairy while she sleeps peacefully. He smiles a tad seeing his little one in her sleep. He kisses her forehead with so much love and gently runs his long and slender fingers from her ear to her chin admiring her. Watching the two of them, the girl's mother felt herself get filled with great relief. She felt happy for her daughter and is glad nothing is wrong.

"Although she did tell me where she was going, I hope you do realize that Avery should not have come here on such a night. I think you understand what I mean," He states coldly. Despite his off putting demeanor and frigid words, he's very gentle as he wraps his coat around Avery's upper body. He noticed she was still in her college uniform, and it's a cold night out.

Avery's mother sighs, understanding his words completely, but she notices the hidden warning in his words. "Yes, I understand, I'll call her later on and tell her," she says sadly while looking at her daughter.

"That's good, Mrs. Miller, I'm glad you understand what I'm saying," He picks up Avery from the sofa, like a newly married bride. He cradles her in his strong arms being very careful with her. Avery mewls a little in her sleep, "Shhh, be good Avery, I have you, you're safe, now sleep well in my arms. We have to go home." He says softly and begins heading out of the house. Avery turns a bit snuggling into his broad, warm chest.

Her mother follows behind them as he walks out the door. "Did anything happen earlier? She was angry and sad when she showed up. She was also injured on her forehead, I know my daughter, so I definitely know something is going on. Please tell me what's going on," Her mother asks in a low voice. She decided to ask because she cares for her daughter deeply, she has such a huge feeling that something is not right. It's only natural for any mother to worry about their children's life and well being after all.

"You don't have to worry, nothing has happened. The injury was merely Avery being a klutz. I know how to take care of her, Mrs. Miler. I won't let any real harm come to her," He assures her before turning away, "Now, it's already late. You should go to sleep." With that he leaves.

The driver perks up seeing his boss coming, he quickly opens the back seat door for his boss. The young man climbs in the car and sits down with her still in his arms. He carefully holds her in his lap with one hand around on her small waist and the other hand gently holding her head near his chest. So that she sleeps comfortably while they ride home. She presses her face even more into his chest. He chuckles seeing her cute actions. He finds her absolutely adorable. She's very small and fragile compared to his big frame making her even cuter to him. He places a small kiss on her head and nuzzles her hair.

He looks to the driver and orders him to.

"Drive to the Big Villa".

....

Meanwhile.

Standing at her doorway Avery's mother watched everything. After sometime the car disappeared from her sight going down the road. "God take care of my daughter," she gently prays and goes back inside.
