Two streaks of tears soaked through her makeup and slid down her cheeks. Avril had never been so agitated before, but she couldn't care less. Once a woman's emotions exploded, it was easy for her to ignore everything else. With her temper and personality, the fact that she only gave him the middle finger and didn't beat him up was already a sign of restraint.
Speaking of which, this was probably the second time after Kate that Adriaan had been cursed at and given the middle finger by a woman, so he looked a little confused. However, Adriaan was Adriaan after all, and he quickly recovered. He looked at Avril and sighed. "Fine, if that's the case, then I'll leave first. Come back when you've calmed down a little. Please … trust me."
If it wasn't for the last sentence, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it was like adding fuel to the fire. Avril jumped up and pushed Adriaan away. She rushed into the inner room and rummaged through a bag. She grabbed a few random clothes and stuffed them inside. "I'll never trust you again, you b * stard! You liar! "
However, as she wiped her tears, she grabbed the bag and walked out. "I don't want to see you again! Ever! "
"Where are you going?" Adriaan blocked the door.
"It doesn't matter! As long as it's not here! As long as you don't show up in front of me! " Avril pushed him away again. "I don't want to stay in this disgusting city for a second longer! Not even for a second! "
She staggered to the street and hailed a taxi. After getting in, she said to the driver without looking up, "To the airport."
As the car drove away, Avril kept her head in her hands and didn't look back once.
Because of the bad road conditions, it took about half an hour for the taxi to arrive at LAX. After getting out of the car, Avril didn't say anything and went straight to the ticket office to buy the nearest plane ticket to Canada. Fortunately, she didn't forget her identity. After leaving the apartment, she wore a baseball cap and disguised herself in the car. In addition, no one would expect such behavior, so no one recognized her.
Then, she waited alone in the airport lounge for more than half an hour before boarding the plane. Because it was 911, it took her another ten minutes to pass the security check and get on the plane. After such a torment, she gradually calmed down from her previous rage. However, her heart began to ache again, especially when she recalled all the sweet scenes from before. Her eyes began to redden, and tears began to well up. During the flight, the stewardess came over to ask her a few times. Fortunately, there were not many people on the plane, and no one sat with her. Otherwise, her current appearance might have been exposed.
This was the first time that she was truly and completely in love. She liked to curl up in his arms and act coquettishly. She liked to argue with him and quarrel with him. She liked the thrill of calling him "Uncle" after becoming one with him in bed. So when everything suddenly shattered, she couldn't accept it. After she calmed down, she began to feel even more sad. No matter how she tried to avoid it, those scenes kept appearing in her mind, making her heart ache and unwilling.
When the sky was almost completely dark, Avril took a taxi back to Napani. After paying the fare, she walked to the brightly lit home where she had spent more than ten years, exhausted.
When she reached out to press the doorbell, she showed a trace of hesitation. Was she going to give up her great career just like that? Was she going to … completely give up on him? The girl shook her head and finally pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Her mother's familiar voice quickly came from the door, and when it opened, there was a cry of surprise.
"You're finally back, Avril. You should have called us before you got on the plane. We were all worried about you! Look at what happened to you! " Her mother gave her a hug and then gave her a long speech. Avril was surprised and confused at the same time. Finally back? She called before she got on the plane? Did they know I was coming back?
The dizzy girl followed her mother into the room, and then she heard the family talking in the living room. Michelle's voice was especially loud. "So, sister is already this good?!"
"Of course, most of the songs were written by her. Even the other popular singers in the company want to write songs for her." This voice was very familiar. Just a few hours ago, she was angry at the owner of this voice.
"What about me? What about me? "Michelle asked, eager to show off.
"I'm sorry, Michelle. Now is really not the right time to talk about this." The man smiled gently, but there was an obvious hint of worry between his brows.
Avril's brain could not think straight. Why was Adriaan here? Why was he here earlier than she was?!
"You …" The dumbfounded girl wanted to say something, but her father, who had already noticed her, spoke first. "Hey, Avril, what's going on? No matter how wronged you are, you shouldn't have left in a fit of anger and come back without saying a word, right?"
"I …" Avril swallowed her words and wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by her brother, Matthew. "Avril, I remember that you're always fearless. Why are you so agitated over such a small matter? Why did you run back from Los Angeles without saying anything?"
"That's right. Sister is too impulsive." Michelle nodded in agreement.
Avril's face gradually turned pale. She stared straight at Adriaan and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"
"Well …" Adriaan stood up and walked in front of her. He seemed a little embarrassed. "You know, a private plane is a little faster …"
"You bastard! You liar! " Avril suddenly grabbed her backpack and threw it at him under the shocked gaze of her family.
"Avril! What are you doing! " Judy was the first to react and hugged Avril. By then, Adriaan had already taken a few hits, but he stood there without moving. At most, he used his hand to block two hits.
"What's going on! Avril! " John also reacted and looked at his daughter angrily. He stood up as if he wanted to teach her a lesson, but was immediately stopped by Adriaan.
Although the girl had stopped under her mother's control, tears still rolled down her cheeks. She then broke free from her mother's arm and walked upstairs. Along the way to her bedroom, Avril looked at the same decorations that had never changed. She sat down on the chair and held her face, but this time, she could not cry.
"What's wrong with you, Avril?" Her mother, who had followed her upstairs because she was worried about her, walked in and looked at her with a little worry and anger.
Avril did not speak. In fact, her mind was in a mess, and she did not know what to say.
"Alright, I know you are very talented in music, and I also know that you have always wanted to prove yourself, but … it's just a song. Even though Eide promised to give it to you, he changed his mind at the last minute. He already came to Napani to apologize to you. Why did you still do that?" Her mother sighed.
The girl raised her head abruptly and looked at her mother in disbelief. "He said that?!"
"I don't think that Eide has any reason to lie," her mother said seriously.
"No! That's not the truth! No! "Avril shook her head desperately. How could he do that? How could he do that!
"Then what is the truth?" her mother asked.
"It's …" The girl only said one word before she stopped. What should she say? Say that Adriaan was on a date with her, and that they had slept together, and then had an affair with another woman? Let's not talk about whether his family would believe her, and even if they did … She could not imagine what would happen.
"You should go and apologize, Avril." After waiting for a moment, her mother sighed. "Maybe Eide is wrong, but what you did just now was too much."
"That's right." Michelle ran up to her. "You hit someone's eye until it's swollen, sister!"
Swollen eye? Avril was shocked. She did not realize that her first reaction was worry and annoyance, not retribution or retribution.
"It's okay, I'm really fine. Don't worry." Adriaan's voice came from the hallway, and soon after, he appeared at the door.
He held an ice pack to the left corner of his eye. There was indeed a bruise, but it was not serious. If it was far enough, it would have been overlooked. However, the distance between Avril's chair and the door was not one of them, so an inexplicable sense of guilt welled up in the girl's heart, and she clenched her fists.
"Alright, Judy, I believe that Avril did not do it on purpose. Don't blame her too much," he said. "If it's possible, I would like to talk to her alone. I think Avril has calmed down by now."
The last sentence was directed at Avril, and his eyes were full of sincerity. Avril's lips trembled, but she could not say anything to reject him. After a long time, the girl nodded slightly. Judy, who had been guarding by the door with Michelle, heaved a sigh of relief. Then, Avril walked over, pushed her mother out, and locked the door.
"I just want to talk to him alone." Through the door, she replied to her mother's question. A few seconds later, she added, "I won't hit him again, I promise."
When there was no more movement outside, Avril turned around, bit her lip, and looked at Adriaan with a complicated gaze. Even though she was trying her best to control her emotions, her chest was still heaving up and down. Adriaan did not say anything. He just stood there and looked at her apologetically.
"You liar!" Avril's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth. "Not only did you lie to me, you lied to my family as well. How dare you say that I ran away in a fit of anger because of a new song …"
"Then what do you think I should say?" Adriaan spread his hands helplessly.
Avril was speechless. If she could say something, she would have said it before, but … She glared at him hatefully, but every time her eyes swept over his blue left eye socket, she felt a little suffocated. Then, she thought about how he had rushed over from Los Angeles, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. Suddenly, she realized that her anger had been vented. Even though she still hated him for being a playboy and for lying to her, the hatred was getting lesser and lesser. Occasionally, she would even think that there might be a reason why he lied to her.
This was a very dangerous thought. If this continued, she might not even be able to maintain her anger for long. Avril knew this, so she tried her best to maintain her anger.
So when Adriaan asked, "Have you calmed down now?"
She answered bluntly, "No, as long as you're still in front of me, I will never …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Avril was pulled into his arms. Before she could react, she was pressed onto the bed and gagged. After being stunned for a long time, the young girl was shocked and angry. She whimpered and struggled, moving her limbs, kicking and hitting his body, and even bit his mouth. But Adriaan did not care at all. He kept her firmly under his body. Even though he did not use his tongue, he kept sucking on her lips and looked into her eyes without blinking at such a close distance.
So, even though she struggled fiercely in the first ten seconds, she soon slowed down. Plus, she had no more anger to vent, so her body became softer and softer. Unknowingly, her lips began to match the rhythm of the man's kisses. Avril felt like she had returned to the night she lost her virginity. She had drunk a little too much, and although she had tried her best to resist his advances, her body was still catered to him.
What's wrong with me? Avril thought sadly as she stuck out her tongue and gently tangled with his.
Fortunately, Adriaan did not do anything further. When she completely calmed down and began to respond to his kiss, he finally propped himself up.
"Are you better now?" he asked softly, staring into her eyes.
Her chest rose and fell for a moment, and Avril finally adjusted her emotions. She then turned her head to the side and ignored him, but a blush still flashed across her face. Adriaan smiled and carried her from the bed. Then he sat on a chair and placed her in his arms. He was very careful, as if he was protecting a treasure.
The girl had truly calmed down. Although there was still a thorn in her heart, she had indeed calmed down.
"How did you know I would go back to Napani?" she asked in a muffled voice after this silent atmosphere lasted for a long time.
"I just knew," Adriaan replied softly with a smile.
"I could have gone to Rosa or Jelani's. Why are you so sure?" Avril, who rested her head on his shoulder, asked persistently.
"Because I know you, Avril." Adriaan stroked her back. "Just like how I always pass you a skateboard when you want to play, prepare spray when you need it, help you avoid pollen, and collect all kinds of star ornaments for you. When you like someone, you will fully understand them, make them happy, and make them happy. "
Hearing this was Adriaan's favorite name for her, as well as all the things he had done for her, the girl suddenly had mixed feelings.
"You treat all women like this, right?" But she still sneered.
"Yes." Adriaan answered without hesitation. "I also remember everything you have done for me. Because I wanted you to stay natural, you gave up on getting tattoos. Because I needed you to play the piano, you tried this' too feminine 'instrument. And many, many more, I have never forgotten."
When she heard the words "too feminine," Avril could not help but smile. But when she heard the last sentence, she could not help but sigh.
The girl straightened her body, straddled his thighs, and looked at him. "I hate you, Eide. You are a liar, a big liar."
"I'm sorry." Adriaan held her face with one hand. "I made you cry."
Avril bit her lip and allowed him to caress her face. After a long time, she carefully reached out and touched his left eye.
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
"A little, but as long as it can calm you down, it's okay to take a few more hits." Adriaan was very calm.
"Hmph." The girl's pearly white teeth moved lightly across her lips. Then, when Adriaan began to lean in front of her, she did not hesitate at all, wrapped her arms around his neck, and took the initiative to kiss his mouth.
Avril did not know why she did this. Even though she was still holding a grudge, at this moment, she just wanted to kiss him. Four lips, two tongues entangled, the two of them kissed non-stop, their hands roaming each other's body as if they were lovers who had not seen each other for a long time, until —
"Avril, do you need something to drink?" Mother's voice was accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door. Clearly, she was worried that they had not come out for a long time.
The girl shivered and immediately woke up from the pink mood, but Adriaan did not intend to let her go. He continued to kiss her face and her pink neck, his hands reaching out to lift up her clothes and burrow inside.
"It's okay, Mother … It's okay. We are still talking. We will come out in a while." After waving her little fists and punching him a few times, Avril tried to keep her tone calm.
"Really? You are okay? "Mother was still a little worried.
"Yes … We are fine." The girl almost bit her own tongue. The moment she answered, Adriaan bit her earlobes and sucked on them. His hands also moved up, almost grasping a pair of firm breasts with only a shirt between them. This kind of stimulation almost made her go completely limp.
"Don't worry, Judy. I am fine. Avril is fine too. She has completely calmed down. We will come out soon." At this time, Adriaan let go of her and answered in a loud voice.
"Alright, I understand." After hearing Adriaan speak, Judy more or less relaxed, once again temporarily leaving.
"Are you satisfied?!" After her mother left, Avril glared at Adriaan fiercely and slipped off him to tidy up her clothes.
"Let's go out first, lest they worry." Adriaan said with a smile that was like a spring breeze.
"How can I go out? You used your lies to make me lose face in front of them!" Avril said angrily. She gritted her teeth in extreme resentment, but there was no longer the anger she had when she first came back.
"This is indeed a problem, so come back with me tomorrow." Adriaan said so, his expression very serious. "No matter how unhappy you are in your heart, you should not leave everything behind in a huff. Since you have completely calmed down now, let's go back to Los Angeles first. This way, you don't have to face your family awkwardly, and we can slowly discuss our problems."
