WILL YOU HOLD MY HAND?....

Ayden landed on New Orleans, checked out from the airport. His dad sent a car to pick him up from there. He saw a old and friendly face holding his name card. It was his old butler Mr. Stevenson , he was Ayden's butler but Ayden never saw him like that because he was the only true he ever had. In his childhood Mr. Stevenson always accompanied him while playing or any other activities. Ayden walked towards him and hugged him, Mr. Stevenson also hugged him back.

" How are you young master ?"

" Uncle Steve I don't like when you call me 'MASTER' ".

Mr. Stevenson laughed and said," Sure my boy!!"

He escorted Ayden towards the car, he put his luggage in the car's boot , he got in the backseat of the car. Mr. Stevenson drove the car away.

" So Ayden how is studies going?"

" Good Uncle!!", Ayden smiled.

Suddenly his phone beeped. He picked the phone it was a message from Cora. He opened the text it says," Hey did you land on New Orleans , did you have a safe trip?"

Ayden texted her back," Yes I just landed on New Orleans , dad sent a car to pick me up now going home I'll text you once I reach home." He felt a satisfaction in his heart , he smiled a little cause he never expected he will be this much happy to be with Cora. Mr. Stevenson stopped the car in front of Ayden's house.

" Ayden we have reached , you go inside I'll tell the servant to get your luggage from the car and deliver it to your room".

" Thank you uncle Steve."

Ayden got out of the car and strolled up two stairs and opened the front door of his, he saw his dad was sitting on the couch going through some papers and was waiting for him. As he went inside, his dad got up from the couch and went to him taking big steps. He took Ayden in his embrace, Ayden hugged him back too.

"Welcome home my son".

"Missed you dad".

Mr. Adams broke the hug and patted on his shoulders like a proud father.

"Go to room, freshen up and rest. Would you like to come down to have lunch or I'll send your lunch to your?"

" No dad I'll come down to eat with you , I miss eating with you"., Ayden smiled at his father, Mr. Adams nodded and smiled at him. Ayden strolled up the stairs. Opened his room's door , he popped and lie down on his bed. He took his phone from his coat's pocket. 'Three texts from CORA' the notification showed. Ayden opened the notification. It says, "Hey Ayden , have you reached home?"

" I have a good news my aunt is kind of stable now".

"I wish I could see you".

Ayden was so happy that he couldn't imagine that it's really happening. He couldn't hold back his excitement and called her.

" Hey what are you doing?" from other side of the phone Cora answered.

" Hey Ayden ! nothing just making dinner, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much , was about to freshen up."

"Okay then you go and freshen up cause you'll be tired we can talk later."

" Okay then bye take care okay?"

"okay Ayden I'll and you should take care of your health too bye!", Cora giggled.

Ayden was waiting for her to hang up and from other side of the phone Cora was waiting for him to hang up the call.

" Hey why aren't you hanging up the call?", Cora asked

" Why aren't you hanging up?", Ayden giggled.

"Cause it's our first call".

Ayden could tell that Cora was blushing by listening to her voice.

" Then should I hang up?", asked Ayden.

" Yeah you can".

" But I need something before hanging up!"

"Huh ? what do you need?"

" A kiss and I wanna hear I LOVE YOU in your voice".

" I..umm…". Ayden was teasing Cora and listening to Cora's suttering voice he was giggling in happiness and seeing his love getting teased by him.

" Hurry up !"

Cora blow a kiss from the other side of the phone and said," I LOVE YOU".

"I LOVE YOU TOO Cora".

" Bye Ayden".

" Bye Cora".

Ayden put on romantic song and went for a shower. He came out of the shower and got dressed. He was brushing his hair, Cora's blushing voice struck in his mind and he smiled out of nowhere. He couldn't think how he fall in love with Cora, the cold and silent Cora but when he came to know her he could help but admire her in every way. She was cute, daring, attractive and coltish as a dandelion when wind hits it. Ayden couldn't think of more.

He heard a knock on his door.

" Ayden lunch is served will come down now?", said Mr. Stevenson.

" Yeah I was about to go".

Mr. Stevenson closed the door and left. Ayden sprayed some perfume and went downstairs.

There was his dad waiting for him at the dining table.

" Come my boy, sit!"

Ayden pulled the chair and sat down.

" Mr. Steve , serve the lunch ".

The servants carried out the dishes from the kitchen and put them on the table.

" Today's lunch is made according to your likings."

Ayden smiled and dig into his lunch. While eating lunch Mr. Adams asked him, "So how are you feeling at college?"

" It's quite good.. professors are friendly and teach very well I really like it".

"So now you are here , is there anything that you wanna do or have?"

Ayden thought for some time and said, " I want to have vacation".

" To where?"

" Ummm… to Japan , I really wanna visit Japan."

" Okay then , I should book two tickets to Japan then?"

" Two tickets?"

" Yeah, Camilia wants to go on a vacation with you".

" Oh that's why you asked weather I wanna go to somewhere or not?"

" Yeah you should spend some time with her after all she is your fiancée".

" You made her my fiancée , I never accepted her as my fiancée"

" Ayden , it's better if you marry her cause it'll profit my business".

Ayden couldn't hold his anger back , he threw his cutlery on the table and screamed, " Dad I'm your own son, not your f***** business pawn".

" Watch your mouth young man, you are talking with your father."

" Yeah right!! Act like a father before calling yourself one".

Ayden left the dining table and went upstairs to his room. Mr. Stevenson followed him up to his room. Ayden opened the door of his room and flopped down on his bed. Mr. Stevenson entered in Ayden's room.

"Ayden , are you okay?"

"I'm not my father is marrying me of to some girl because that will profit his business".

"Ayden my boy ! I get it , I want to ask you something, will you answer it truly?"

" Yes".

" Is there anyone who you are seeing?"

Ayden was not expecting this question.

" Yes I am "

" Do you really love her?"

" Yes !!"

"Are you sure?"

" Yes yes yes ….. I was not this much serious about anything as I am now about her".

" Okay".

Mr. Stevenson left Ayden's room."

" I really miss you now Cora."

Ayden fall asleep. He woke up by a knock on his door.

"It's open , come in.".

Ayden's dad came in.

" Ayden I know you are mad at me ! but I am only doing this to secure your future, here is something for you".

He handed a plane ticket to him, " here is your wish".

" Thank you dad and I'm sorry that I sweard at you and yelled at you, I'm really sorry".

"I know son that I hurt you very much I'm sorry too, now come down to have dinner come on son".

"Coming dad".

"Okay!"

Mr. Adams left Ayden's room. Ayden couldn't imagine that he was really going to Japan.

He get down from his bed and went in front of the mirror and said, " Cora I'm coming".

Ayden felt like a hopeless romantic guy who was in love with his girl , his dream girl.
