***Daisy's POV.***
Toby and I walked to the dance floor, where some couples were dancing. He puts his hand on my back and I on his shoulder. We move to the beat of slow music. This dance is nothing like my dance with Theo. Every move was more than just a dance and had no space to think about anything at all.
Toby smiles at me and so do I. We were always comfortable in each other’s presence. From the time we met during university’s theatre practice, we hit it off. The reason was simple: we found a friend in each other, which we were desperately looking for. Me because it was a new place for me and Toby because he was shy back then and only let a few people in.
“They are looking our way.” Toby says.

***Daisy’s POV.***The tension in the car is something to be thought about. Peter already left early as he had to make a schedule for tomorrow, so right now Theo and I are in the back of a limo with a deadly silence which is making me nervous, which is also making me hate it.I thought something would happen after we left the party. But it is like after wearing my coat, I hid all the temptation from Theo, which sobered him up. I am an idiot to bring a coat. I should have brought a shawl. It is summer.But then an idea comes to my mind when we come to a stop in front of the hotel. I hope it works. I pray and come out of the door when he opens it for me. I walk past him fastly and enter the elevator. Obviously, as athletic as he is, he caught up with me.&nb
***Daisy’s POV.***I feel Theo’s burning gaze on my back. And as I come out of Toby’s arm, I can see Olivia’s astonishment at seeing Toby here through my peripheral vision. I can also feel tension in Toby, too.“You were saying something, Olivia? I didn’t hear when this guy called out so loudly.” I say as I put my hand on Toby’s arm and rub it.“Nothing. I thought Tobias would not come as it got late. So, I thought of telling you to come with us.” She says with a fake smile.“Oh!” I say.“Okay. So… bye. We shall see you tonight.” Toby says.
***Daisy's POV.***The rest of the ride was a bit silent from there on. Even Olivia and Toby were not speaking anymore like something happened when they were gone to buy our lunch. I changed my seat with Olivia when she came back as she wanted to discuss things with Theo.Toby was getting irritated and so was I when they were acting so close and their conversation changed from formal to informal. While Toby and I on the other hand played little games on our phone because we couldn't talk in front of them when they were so loud which they weren’t but we were using that as an excuse.When we reach Bristol, a limo is pulled for all four of us to take us to a villa which Theo bought as an investment and it is next to the hotel. Toby accompanied us as he wanted to see the progress of the hotel too then take me out for dinner where he would surprise me with something.I got changed once my bag came a
***Daisy's POV.***"Not this. Definitely not this one too. Where do you find a perfect swimsuit when you want one?” I ask myself as I surf through the shop for a swimsuit for Toby’s upcoming pool party.I had a busy schedule during the first week in Bristol and didn’t have time to buy a good swimsuit. It is not like I didn’t bring one with me as I am a water baby and swimming is in my soul. It is just that the one I brought with me is not sexy or cute in any manner.I had to tell Toby to postpone the pool party to next weekend so it would give me enough time to buy one, a day before the party. I had literally run from my work. The reason is Theo is keeping me way too busy on purpose so I won’t be able to meet Toby. Olivia is doing the same. As the fellow investor, she would hang around Toby for other property he should invest in.Last weekend, T
***Daisy's POV.***“Back off.” I say to the man who is not stopping.“But you said please feel something. You can’t go back on your words.” He says.“I will scream murder.” I say as I glare at him which makes him stop but only for a second.“Do you think I would have approached you with people around? They are far away and the music is loud too. Come on. Don’t get shy now. Let’s have some fun.” The man says and grabs one end of the knot.“Don’t you dare. This is my last warning. What would come after this would be painful.” I say.“Like a little lady like you could do me any harm in water. It is impossible to move fast in water, dear.” He says.“Not if you are trained by your own military retired father.” I say.
***Daisy's POV.***“We need to go home. It is getting late.” Theo says.“But it is my turn now, and I had an interesting one.” I say with a pout.“No. We are leaving.” Theo says and walks out, “I will wait for you in the car.”“Okay.” I say.“Olivia. Are you coming?” Theo asks her, and I look at her to see her entire face is pale.“You both go ahead. I have something to talk about with Mr. Wright here. Send my car back after he drops you.” Olivia says as she looks at the drink.“Okay.” Theo says.“Bye, Toby. The party was grand. Thanks for inviting us and I will see you.” I say and hug him and whisper, “Would you be okay?”“I would be fine.” He whispers
***Daisy's POV.***“Let’s go.” I say and get up.“Where? I am… literally feeling dizzy.” Toby says and as he tries to remove the bite he took.I flinch when his skin gets red and I pick up his phone when Olivia calls, “Olivia, Toby is dying.”And cut it. That ought to do everything.“Why would you do that?” He asks.“Just come with me till you can walk. The hospital is just two buildings away. I had already paid the bill.” I say then turn to a server, “Excuse me, I have to take my friend here to the hospital. I am
***Daisy's POV.***The next time, I wake up to a clear vision and feel a weight on my left hand. I look that way to see Theo laying his cheek on it. He is sleeping soundly and looks so cute too. I lift my right hand only to find IV attached to it.“You are up. Thank goodness.” Theo says and I look at him to see a tired look in his eyes.“What happened?” I asked him as my brain still feels fuzzy.“You had a very bad fever. But it has gone and you are fine. I will call the doctor just to be sure.” He says and leaves the room.I try to get up but I feel tired like I have worked for hours and got sore muscles. But I am getting very
