What is your new year's resolution?

Athena's POV

Opening my eyes, I took a few seconds to adjust to the bright light of what seemed to be the sunlight. That's when I realised that I was in a car. "Sleeping beauty is finally up," Max said. I just growled in response. "You carried me to the car," I asked as I let out a yawn.

"Ok so are we there yet," I asked as I took in the beautiful scenery. "We just got in the car about 15 minutes ago, little dove. The trip from Naples to Positano is about 1 hour and 30 minutes," he said. I always hate long drives. "Ok then. Wait we are going straight to Positano," I said as I looked at him. "I can't wait," I whispered to myself as my smile just doesn't seem to go away.

"So for how many days are we staying here," I asked Max. "Probably a week. I'll take you sightseeing on some of the days," he said, making me smile. "Thanks Max," I said as I looked out of the window. This place is just so beautiful.

After what seemed for ever, I looked at Max who was busy on his laptop. Well this man is an absolute workaholic. "Max are we there yet," I asked as I just wanted to get out of the car. I was feeling bored to death.

"Athena for the love of God. It's the tenth time that you asked me that," Max said as he was irritated. It's funny to see him frustrated and annoyed. I was trying to hold back my laugh but as he glared at me, I started laughing.

"There is nothing funny," he said as he scoffed. Oh shit, he looks pissed. Trying to enlighten the mood, I reached his sides and started tickling him but he stayed still. "What are you made of? Rock," I asked he wasn't getting ticklish at all.

"Why do you have to be such a pain in the ass sometimes," he said. I dramatically gasped, making him roll his eyes. Damn, I could never think that someone rolling their eyes at me could be that sexy. "I'd hit that," I thought to myself. What the fuck is wrong with me?

"You hurt me, Mr Knight," I said as I exaggeratedly threw my head back. "Childish," he muttered under his breath as he shook his head. I couldn't help but laugh. "What did I get myself into," he said. "Hey I heard that," I said as I glared at that. "I meant for you to hear," he said. I just looked at him and stick my tongue out at him. "Really mature, little dove," he said making me laugh.

"Sir we are arriving," John said. "Well that wasn't that bad," I said as I looked at the beautiful mountains around. "Yeah, says the woman who has been asking 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet'," he said, making me roll my eyes.

This place is just mind blowing. The streets are slanted because Positano is built on the side of a mountain. John got out of the car and came to open my door. I thanked him as he went to grab the suitcases from the back.

"Oh no there is paparazzi that found us," Max said. I looked at him as my eyes widened. "What do they find so interesting about you," I mumbled quietly but he definitely heard me. "Well ask the hundreds of magazines that write about me every single week," he said, making me scoff.

We got inside the humongous building that was before us. There is not a lot of car on the streets. Italy is a place where you could take pictures everywhere and it would look perfect. "Here you go sir," the receptionist said as she gave Max the keys. Well I totally zoned out as I was just admiring the surrounding, plus they were talking in Italian so I wasn't understanding anything.

After a few minutes, we reached the rooms. "Wait we are sharing a room," I asked Max as he opened the door and got to the side letting me in. "Yea, is that a problem," he asked looking confused. Wait I have already shared a bed with him so it's fine, right? "Yea no problem," I said as I shrugged.

The room looks so cozy. "There is even a balcony," I said as I ran to the door and opened it. I was absolutely speechless after seeing the view from the balcony. I felt like crying but I won't. I still can't believe that I am actually here. I'm in Italy. I'm in Positano. At that moment, I wanted to scream out of excitement but I would look like a crazy person so I just kept smiling like a maniac.

"Little dove, I have to go do some work. Ethan is going to be staying with you. If you need anything, just call me," he said as I got in. "Okay. Take care," I said as I laid on the huge bed. "I'll see you later," he said and I looked at him and nodded.

I watched him open the door. I suddenly started thinking about the relationship between me and Max. "Is there even anything between us other than the contract," I asked myself as I sat on the edge of the bed.

For a minute, I contemplated the view of the city from the bed as I kept on thinking. He is always kissing me and I'm not complaining. That man definitely knows what he is doing. Everytime I look at his lips, I just feel like pouncing on him and kiss the hell out of him. Well I sound like a maniac. Anyways, it's just that he kisses me and I don't even know where this is going. "Is he just using me," I asked myself. At least I haven't slept with him yet.

Just thinking about kissing him does things to my body. I know for a matter of fact that nothing is ever going to come out of this fake relationship. Why am I even thinking about all this? I should really stop reading books on Wattpad. It seriously just gets my hopes up.

Anyways, what I mean is that I know I'm falling for my pretend fiancee and I just need to get a grip on my feelings. I swear everytime he comes close to me, I feel like just hugging him. I growled out of frustration as I laid back down. I'm definitely going to get hurt if this continues.

I can't seem to control what happens with my feeling. "As if I ever did," I said to myself. I was always a mess so I'm not even shocked. I sighed as I played with my antique ring. "This is going to be a long year," I thought as I closed my eyes.
