Chapter 22 - Make your life sweeter

Irina changed the subject, that confession made her heart race.

How can you be so cute?

She seemed tempted to do some crazy things.

Not tempted, she would definitely do some crazy things today, so just change the subject so Amany doesn't think too much about it. "Cough… What are you taking pictures for today?"

Amany noticed the abrupt change of subject but didn't question or think about it too much.

She was so tired, so just talking to Irina was enough. "Today is the first part for my album, the second will be done next week."

Irina feigned dissatisfaction and spoke in a slightly rebellious tone that sounded extremely childish. "I need to hear you sing, why didn't you ever sing for me?"

Amany laughed, so beautiful.

Well, she really liked that side of Irina.

Is there anything I don't like about you? In a funny tone she replied. "We didn't have time, remember?"

Well, if Amany was referring to their only date, it really had been extremely short and busy.

They had issues to be resolved that could not wait.

But now Irina wished she could hear Amany sing.

Sing to me, make me fall in love even more. "Maybe I vaguely remember about that."

Amany laughed, she loved how Irina managed to pretend to be unpretentious.

I know you remember what we did very well, I left marks on you so you'll remember perfectly. "Vaguely? Idiot."

Irina discovered a less sweet side to Amany, she was so sexy and tough.

Well, a memorable woman in every way.

The two laughed and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Amany felt that her exhaustion had even eased and Irina could let her sadness slip away.

They were very good for each other.

It was a rejuvenating feeling that filled them, even in the midst of the absence caused by the distance.

After some time of conversation and laughter, Irina insisted on remembering that she was missing Amany.

Irina was the type of person who would always remind people about her feelings, I will love you madly and make you never forget that you are loved.

The same rule would also apply to hatred and disgust.

Taking advantage of the slight silence between them, Irina spoke. "I miss you."

Amany smiled at that and felt her heart soften and melt like honey. "I also feel your..."

What she didn't expect was for the worst of all worlds to happen in the photo studio.

An employee called her to try to explain that all the photos they had taken so far had been lost.

She stared at the clock and time was passing so fast, they should take advantage of the studio's lease time and get as much work done as possible.

"Hey? Yes, I'm on my way... They're calling me, something went wrong with the photos and I'll need to see what happened... I'll talk to you later, okay?"

Irina heard the weak voice that spoke to Amany and it was very clear the part that all the photos taken up to that moment had problems.

The person seemed to tone down his voice so as not to startle Amany, but Irina heard something like the camera files had become corrupted.

Well, it looked like a big problem.

Irina felt a little awkward about it, she didn't have any chance to help her, but she especially understood that Amany should work hard. "All good."

Amany said goodbye with a little melancholy heart, she wanted to spend more time with Irina. "Bye baby."

"Bye, honey."

But Irina had decided something in her heart.

Finally seeing that the call had ended, Irina glanced at Dominica who was driving diligently to the company's office.

She had changed her mind, she wasn't willing to go to work.

At least not personally.

She wanted to see Amany.

"Dominica, change of plans, ask for the company plane to be prepared immediately, I'm going to travel..."

Dominica smiled and nodded, she knew this was a good idea from the moment she saw her smile so easily every time she caught sight of the two of them talking.

"Do you intend to join Miss Amany?"

Irina agreed, she wanted to be with Amany.

Her sibling situation was out of her own control and all she could do was wait.

That week would be like torture away from Amany and waiting for some news from Emil.

She must follow the desperate plea of her anxious heart.

"Yes... Everything that can be postponed to the next week or for a video call, have it changed and if there are pending issues in the city, I will resolve it this week."

"Understood."

Dominica nodded and made her way towards Irina's office, but only because it was the same as the one at the airport.

Which was also very convenient.

She had already been informed that some things had been sent to Irina and she would take advantage of the way to make a brief stop to collect documents and also clothes.

Irina had a small rest room where she could sleep and even shower and have clean clothes to wear.

So, on such a sudden trip, it was useful to at least collect half a dozen clothes and later ask another employee to send the rest.

Or simply buy what's missing, money isn't an issue either.

Dominica didn't even turn off the car, she didn't intend to keep Irina waiting too long.

The plane was already being prepared and she had already contacted Amany's assistant, she specified about Irina wanting to surprise her and questioned whether it was possible for them to share the same room that night.

Of course, she also made sure there was a room reserved for Irina so she could have her own space too.

Better an empty hotel room than not having a room at all.

Anton was pleased to receive the call from Dominica, it was funny how the relationship between those two children was evolving so fast.

Well, if the girl wants to do something romantic as a surprise he shouldn't interfere, in fact he really liked that she had that kind of initiative.

Amany was stressed from overwork and the only moments she seemed to relax was when she was talking to this Irina.

If you're willing to come, I'll even give you my keys.

He assured that as soon as they arrived in the city he would leave the key at the airport with someone they could trust and they could go straight to the hotel and room where Amany was staying.

Dominica, as promised, did not take long and in less than ten minutes she already put everything needed inside the car.

Boxes with documents, computer, suitcases with clothes for her and Irina.

In addition to the various receipts that she often received since she started with her appearances and participation in 'Unbreakable'.

She received many gifts from admirers, gifts that were often bestowed to ensure Irina's complete safety.

"Miss, let's go to the airport immediately, everything should be ready to take off when we arrive."

Irina nodded as she watched Dominica load the vast array of things into the trunk of the car.

One package in particular caught her eye. "Who sent that bag?"

Dominica looked at the package Irina was referring to and smiled. "It was in the middle of gifts from your fans..."

Irina took the package for herself, she knew the packaging very well, it was one of her favorite brands of sweets.

It was a traditional company known for selling popular and refined sweets, she grew up eating that kind of thing.

She loved it, it was like reliving unforgettable moments of her life.

She opened the beautiful package, it was the special edition beautiful and full of finesse.

There was a beautiful note... 'For the sun to shine a little sweetness is needed, you are my sun and I can't help the instinct of wanting to make your life sweeter.'

The note... The candy... It was a gift from Bella.

Heavens.

She looked at all that and it seemed impossible not to smile, that kind of thing didn't seem to match her personality... But it was so cute.

She read the note over and over again, completely in disbelief at what she read, but the more she read the more embarrassed and happy she became.

Well, that was the second time she had laughed that day.
