NICK'S POV

Dani and I started walking inside the restaurant and this place is really fancy that I think Aries had really prepared for this. I don't know what's the occasion but he really asked me to come to this place and it is very unusual of him to do stuff like this to me. I finally marched my way inside and the waiter by the door stopped us.

"Good evening sir. Table for?" He asked.

I scanned through the entire place, "I'm with a friend. Found him. Thanks."

"Let's go Dani." I tell my daughter.

Both of us started walking to the table where Aries was waiting and Dani ran towards him as quick as she could. I don't know why Dani loves him so much, maybe because of the lavishing gifts he sent her every time there's special occasions, most especially her birthdays and Christmases.

"Uncle Aries!" Dani hugs him.

"Oh pumpkin. Hello. Let me take a good look at you, beautiful." Aries greets.

She pulls herself away and smiles.

"Always beautiful." Aries adds.

She giggles, "Thank you. Why are we here uncle Aries?"

Dani sits down on the chair that Aries had pulled out then I sat right next to her. I noticed two other chairs right next to me and I wonder if someone was still coming over to join us.

"I have a surprise for your dad." Aries answered.

Dani moved her head to me, "But it's not his birthday."

I smiled ruefully at her because I don't know why I was here in the first place. All Aries said was have dinner with him and that he has a surprise. I don't know how to handle his so-called surprise to me. I just hate surprise whenever it's with Aries. He's always been the prankster ever since before.

"I know, but that doesn't mean I can't surprise him. How was your day, Dani?" Aries asked while he checks his phone.

"Very very fun! We went to the museum today uncle Aries and I saw these cool bones of the dinosaurs! It was so amazing! I saw very cool paintings too! Oh! Oh! And I met a new friend today as well. She was lost and she was crying. Me and dad helped her." Dani breathes.

I smile and Aries was smiling as well when Dani speaks so fast just like Dakota. Sometimes I think she forgets to pause while talking and I worry about she'll forget to breathe.

"That's great Dani." Aries complimented.

"Thank you." Dani sing-songs.

"How's that company working that you've just bought yesterday? You haven't told me the name of it. Maybe we can be business partners in some ways." Aries asked.

"It's doing good. I was glad I finally bought it. The last owner wasn't letting it go and I don't know why he was doing that. If I didn't bought it for over $50 million, he wouldn't say no. It was a hard deal." I answered.

"$50 million? Wow. Talk about heavy pocket." Aries says.

I grinned. "Lost most half from my bank."

"That's just a penny to you."

I chuckle.

The waiter started serving the dishes that Aries had ordered for us and it was a few dishes that Savannah loves which was weird, or maybe I just miss the fat that I haven't seen Savannah for almost six years. And gosh I do miss her so much I can't explain how much.

"You've ordered a lot." I say.

Aries pulled his head up from his phone and looks at me. "Is it too much? I was planning on making you fat tonight."

I laugh with Dani as I shake my head sideways. "Too bad I'm still working out."

He grins.

"Are we expecting more guests uncle Aries?" Dani asked as she takes a spoonful from her soup.

Aries nods slightly, "Don't you want other people to join us? It will be fun."

Dani smiles, "I'm okay with that. You know I love making new friends."

"Speaking of making new friends, they're here." Aries says.

"We are terribly sorry we're late."

I rapidly pulled my head up the second I recognized that voice. I turned my head around and saw Savannah walking towards me. I blinked a lot of times to see if I was dreaming or hallucinating or imagining women again as Savannah, but I wasn't because she is really actually here, coming over our table wearing her pale pink dress and beige colored heels with her hair flowing behind her shoulders.

She's still the most beautiful woman to me and I won't get tired of saying it.

My eyes widened when I saw her holding the hand of a little girl, it's Melissa and I was even more surprised to see that it was the same girl from the museum a while ago who was lost. Savannah's eyes moved to me and I slowly pulled myself up from the chair. She stands close to me as I watch him miss Aries cheek to cheek. I was still in awe cos I finally saw her again after so many years, I couldn't believe it.

"Lissa was lost inside the museum a while ago. Sorry we're late." Savannah says to Aries then moves her head to me. She smiles.

"Hi, Nick." She holds her arms around me and we hugged each other briefly.

"It's you again!" Dani snaps.

Savannah moved her head to Dani and Lissa quickly smiled at her. "Oh my goodness! We've seen each other again! Mom can I sit next to her please? They're the ones who helped me at the museum a while ago."

Savannah smiles and looks at me, "Is she Dakota's? Daniella right?"

Dani nods, "Yes! You must be Lissa's mother. You are very pretty."

"Thank you. So
