Free Finding the Love Back by Adina Jan

Christian had come in and caught her off guard with a mid-afternoon love making session.
     
    “Can I expect more of these little surprises from you?” Ava asked, totally satiated.
     
    Christian kissed his lover. “Ava Marie, I’m ready to give you the world.”
     
    One the words escaped his lips, he knew even more that he meant every word. He’d finally gotten the love of his life back and there was no way that he was letting her go.
     

Chapter 15
     
     
    Christian sent a car and driver to pick Ava up in style. Lindsey and Lisa found a strapless aqua blue dress that was fitted and showed her curves for Ava to wear. She paired it with some pink heels and a pink necklace. She pulled her hair up in a stylish ponytail and made sure her makeup was exquisite.
     
    Ava was ready for a night out on the town. She wanted to show Christian all that there was to do in Atlanta. After a twenty minute ride, the car pulled up to an exclusive restaurant. Ava had been there before with a client and she loved the décor and the menu.
     
    The driver came around and helped her out of the car. She thanked him and walked up to the front door. Christian appeared and holding the door, welcomed her inside.
     
    “Hello Gorgeous,” he said kissing her on the cheek. He held her hand and twirled her around to admire her beauty.
     
    “Hello to you. You’re looking great yourself,” she remarked. Christian was clad in a light blue polo shirt and a pair of gray slacks and a pair of loafers. He looked dashing. His eyes sparkled as he looked at his lover.
     
    Christian whisked her into the restaurant for a romantic four course meal. The candlelight set the mood along with the soft music. Ava felt like she could gaze into Christian’s eyes forever. They laughed and had easy conversation. Everything seemed like a dream.
     
    When they finished eating, Christian held out his hand for Ava to stand up with him. “We have one more thing planned this evening.”
     
    Christian took her hand and led the way out of the restaurant. The valet brought him his car and Christian, like the gentleman he was, opened the passenger door for Ava.
     
    He ran around to the driver’s side and hopped in. Christian navigated the Atlanta streets like a pro. They eventually pulled up at one of the many tall glass buildings in the downtown area. Christian pulled into the garage.
     
    “You live here?” Ava asked.
     
    “Yes. I got a sweet deal. I hope you like it.”
     
    They took the elevator up twenty floors. The building was exquisite and Ava took it all in. She had been doing well in her business, but obviously Christian was not doing too shabby himself.
     
    They made their way to his place and when Ava opened the door, she couldn’t believe her eyes. There was a trail of pink rose petals trailing from the front door.
     
    “What is this? Christian, what did you do?” She was excited to see where the trail of roses would lead.
     
    Christian smiled. He looked like a parent that watched intently as their child scrambled to rip open presents on Christmas morning. He couldn’t wait to see what Ava would say about the surprise he had waiting for her.
     
    He shrugged his shoulders playfully. “I don’t know what this is. We should find out.”
     
    Ava hit him on the shoulder and picked up the pace as she followed the rose petals. They trailed through the living room and out to the balcony. On the balcony, there was a simple sampler box of chocolates and a jar full of hard candies. Ava clapped her hands in excitement.
     
    “You remembered!” She couldn’t believe that Christian had remembered how much she liked to indulge in a box of chocolates just because. The jar of hard candies was an ode to the candies that she always carried in her purse when she was growing up. She actually still carried the same candies in her purse to this day.
     
    “Christian, you are so sweet. You didn’t have to do all of this for me. I-,” when Ava turned around, she
