Stormi's pov
"Princessa?" I heard his british voice say behind me.
I felt my heart slowly glue the missing pieces from before. I got a cold shiver down my spine as I relive my shattered, broken heart.
I turn around and drink him in. His dimples are deeper. His curly brown hair is a little messy but is still the most beautiful mess I've ever seen.
And those eyes. Those beautiful medium blues that created my biggest obsession with him many years ago.
He was my hulk.
He was my first friend as I was his.
I felt the tears of relief glossing over my vision as I stare at him.
My lips slowly curve into a smile and I run up to him. I jump up and wrap my arms around his neck. I smell in his Versace cologne.
He chuckles and wraps his arms tightly around my waist and spins me around.
"I can't believe I finally found you." He whispers in my hair.
I chuckles loudly and squeeze him once more before I motion for him to put me down. I wipe the tears away and laugh again. "I'm sorry. I just....it's actually you." I admit.
He touches my face and used his thumbs to wipe away the remaining tears.
He smiles and touches my necklace. "You still have it."
I nod and touch it with my own fingers. "Everyday." I look down at his wrist and see he's still wearing the watch I got him many years ago.
It's a silver one for men's. I was debating that day to get him the adult one or the hulk one but eventually chose the adult one because no man adult is going to wear a hulk one.
"You are still wearing the watch!" I grabbed his wrist and examined it. I'm surprised to see it's still working as I watch the tiny hand tick forward.
"I've never taken it off Princessa. I have been looking for you for years."
I look at him and smile. "How have you been?"
He nods. "Better than most. How are you?" He raises an eye brow.
"I can't complain."
My eyes turn to the man approaching us. The same man from last night. I take a few steps back as I stare at him. Kaden notices the way my body stiffens and looks towards the direction of the man.
He gives me a brief nod before turning to Kaden. "Sir, it's very important. Please come quickly."
Kaden nods before turning to me. "We should get dinner sometime and catch up. Let me get your phone and I'll add my number into it."
I nod and grab my phone out of my back pocket and hand it to him.
He smiles and I watch as he types his number in.
He gives me a quick hug. "It's so nice to see you again."

"You too!" I say waving as he walks away in a hurry.
He takes a few more glances at me, giving me his famous smile before walking around the corner and leaving.
I stare down at my phone and stare at his number. He called himself so he has mine now. I wonder if he will call me before I call him.
I didn't have much time to think about him because my manager swarmed me with a hundred million things to do including putting away Kadens cart of groceries he rushed out before he could pay for.
****
Monday morning. My first day off. It's been three days since I saw Kaden. If it wasn't for working two jobs, I would of called him before hand. But as I stare at my phone, I second guess myself whether to call him or not.
I clean and walk around my house. I cook and shower. I shave my entire body twice before rewashing my body and hair. I sit at my desk and stare at my phone some more.
I grow the courage to call him and hangup after one ring.
"Fuck!" I whisper.
I jump when my phone rings and I see Kadens name pop up. Well he's saved in my phone as 'cuddles'.
I take a few heavy deep breaths before I press the green button.
"Hello?" I say in a very high pitched nervous voice.
I could hear his smile force on his face. "Princessa. I've been waiting for your call."
I let out a nervous giggle. "I've been really busy with work, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Are you free tonight? Say six?"
Am I free tonight? At 6???!!!
AM I?
I smack my forehead and shake my head. "Yes I am free. Do you want to meet? I can meet you somewhere or you could even meet me somewhere. Or we could even just talk on the phone or.... not." I ramble on.
He chuckles. "Calm down Princessa. It's just me. I can pick you up at six. Just send me your address."
Just you? You..you...you...don't completely understand what you do to me. What you have always done to me. You turn my legs into noodles and my mind into oatmeal. You are every person's dream and now the richest man alive. You have always been my hulk. My love...my every want...
You aren't just you. You are a million things to me.
"Sound good." I say hanging up to quickly.
Fuck that was rude.
I call back and he answers.
"I am so sorry! That was so rude of me. I am just a little nervous and when I am nervous I talk to much and act before I can actually process what I am doing."
"Take a deep breath and count to ten."
I take a deep breath and count to ten in my head. Instantly feeling better as he does it with me.

"Do you feel better Princessa?" He says calmly.
I nod and close my eyes. I completely forget that he can't see me.
Stupid. Stupid girl.
"Yes. A little. I'll see you at 6 cuddles."
He chuckles. "Sounds good. I can't wait!"
"Okay bye!" I say quickly and hangup.
Great. Six. I glance at the clock and see it's already after four.
Fuck! Fuck!
I dig through my closet and find absolutely nothing to wear so I run to the mall and search the isle panicking. Eventually I find the perfect dress.
It only goes halfway up my thighs but it's absolutely stunning. I buy heels to match and rush home.
I quickly shower and shave again before blow drying my hair and curling my long hair. I spray on my perfume and put on a little eye liner and mascara.
Just as I sit down to take a break, I rush to the bathroom and put an extra layer of deodorant from all of my stress sweat just as the door bell rings.
My skin starts to vibrate as I walk to the door. I open it and stare at Kaden. He's wearing a black suit with silver cufflinks. He put hair spray in his hair to keep his curls from fizzing out. His cologne is mixed with cinnamon.
He looked me up and down. His full lips goes into a huge smile showing his perfect straight white teeth. He could be in a teeth commerical.
"You look so beautiful." He says so quietly I think he meant it for himself.
I stare at him and smile. "You look so beautiful too."
Dumb... I feel my cheeks getting flushed as I give him a hug to hide the awkwardness.
I hear him sniff and pull away.
"Do I smell?"
He laughs. "You don't smell bad Princessa. You smell very good."
I give him a little nod and grab my clutch off the table. I lock my door before throwing the keys into my clutch.
He holds out his hand which I gracefully take as we walk down the stairs. He opens the door for me.
I thank him as I get in. I stare at the two body guards sitting in the front seat and stare at Kaden. He shrugs.
"It's for my personal protection. There's a lot to crazy people out here."
I give him a small smile.
"I don't feel comfortable with you living in this neighborhood alone. It doesn't sit well in my stomach."
I look towards my apartment complex. "I have never had a problem. It's a little unsafe just because there is ton of people around but I've never had a problem."
After a few minutes of silence, I turned to him. "Did you handle the serious matter the other day?"
He nods. "Yes I did. I'm sorry to of left in a serious hurry."
"I'm sorry I left in a serious hurry sixteen years ago." I admit. I feel a huge weight lift off my shoulders as I finally get to apologize.
He grabs my hand and rubs circles in my hand with his thumb. "It wasn't your fault. I was devastated but it wasn't your fault."
Devastated? Good, I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
Even after I heard about my parents disappearance, Kaden was the top thing in my head.
"Me too." I say quietly. I point to his watch and smile. "Does it still have the thing I wrote on it?"
He takes off his watch and flips it over. I ran my fingers over the carvings.
"It kept fading away even when I would rewrite it the way you did. Eventually, I took it to the jewelry store and had them carve it in the watch so it couldn't ever erase."
I let out a laugh and hand it back to him.
"We must seem crazy saving Valentine's presents from all these years from each other. But yours..." I said wrapping my forefinger and thumb around my necklace. "It has helped me along the way. Everytime I am upset, I would touch it and remember that day. My first kiss and the way you promised me forever."
I watch his tan cheeks turn a bright red as his lips curved into a perfect smile.
"I wear this watch everyday."
I smile and we talk about everything over the years.
His parents are still together and live in his house in New York. His younger brother just started college. His younger sister just started highschool. His favorite color is still blue. Lucky number is still fifteen. He loves mexican food and comedy movies. His music is any and he played quarterback in highschool. He never went to college because he started his business at nineteen and never needed to. His uncle started the business but passed away leaving it all to Kaden resulting in the big empire.
He hasn't ever had a girlfriend besides me. I couldn't help but blush when he pointed that out.
He doesn't have much time to do anything because he hardly has time off work.
"How many houses do you own?" I ask him.
"One in New York, one in California, one in Colorado and one in Bora."
I bite on my bottom lip to stop me from talking as we pull into a huge five star restaurant.
Kaden gets out and holds his hand out for me. I gladly take it and step outside fixing my dress.
Kaden walks straight through the door and past the host. He walks towards the back into a private room.
I stare shocked at what he just did and look between the room and the direction we came.
"Uh...I think they are supposed to seat us."
He laughs and pulls a chair out for me. "I own this restaurant babygirl. I can do whatever I want."
I smile and give him a nod. "Badass!"
