"Here, you can put these on." She passed him a shirt and sweatpants. As he took them, she glowed at him and declared, "I will cook dinner for us, well soon it will be morning haha. You change first, then you can come down ok?" He shook his head.
After she left, Nick glanced at the shirt in his hand. If not for her being with him, he would probably stiffen in the rain. Stepping into the washroom, his eyes surveyed the washroom. It had her smell lingering in the air and the room was squeaky-clean and neat.
Standing before the mirror he took off the wet shirt that he was wearing and put it aside. The scars on his body were gone now but he remembered all the sufferings he has gone through.
Sometimes he didn't even remember what he did, when he woke up he just found out that he was hurt, sometimes he found himself lying on the floor when cracked pieces of reflector were everywhere.
Now, he understood how
Nearly the dawn, the sun would peek through the curtains soon. Probably everybody in that tall building was sleeping but the one in the middle east still had lights on. "All done." Taking a yawn, she outstretched her arms. She was finally done with the dishes and she was heading toward her room now. Sanaya stepped into her room carefully on her tiptoes and the first thing she saw was him. Nick was sleeping on one side of the bed soundlessly. He seemed to be wearied.Seeing him doze, she let out a sigh. He would probably stay with her if she wouldn't have sent him forcibly.Sanaya looked at the wall clock. Tick! Tick! Tick!'Let's take a two hours sleep.' She slowly made her way towards the bed. She got on the bed slowly and then laid down. A sigh of comfort left her mouth as soon as her body enveloped the soft bed. A tough day it was!When she turned the lights off, Nick turned his head towards her. Thinking he might have been disturbed, she held onto her breath.But unlike she th
"So we went to Griffith Observatory and Griffith Park, the Getty Center, the Hollywood walk of fame, Santa Monica Pier and beach and... And right, the Original Farmers Market and The Grove, The Broad..." She was waddling his side by side and talking while their hands were intertwined. Like any other ordinary couple, they walked on the road when they had to. No cars, no limelight, nobody disturbed them. It was near dusk, and Sanaya took out her bucket list and contended while still holding his arm. "We can still go to many places. If we go to Santa Monica Pier now then we can see a classic seaside amusement park that glows with neon at the night. We can take a ride on the iconic Ferris wheel and roller coaster and then..." Sanaya stopped talking when she saw he was staring at her. Right, she had been talking so much today. "Sorry, I was checking where can we go next. Here, you decide where you wanna go next."She handed him the paper. She made a list of places she wanted to go with
"You didn’t kill them, don’t blame yourself…” she brushed his shoulder gently and asserted so.“I couldn’t save them, I was such a coward. I ran away from there…” he had his down while keeping his eyes closed. He had been blaming himself for what happened back then... This time she sat next to him and grazed his face, making him look at her. She fondled his face and affirmed, “You were not a coward, Nick. Sometimes things are out of our hand, we cannot do what we want...”“Do you think they hate me? I didn’t save them but ran away from there…”“I don’t think they hate you. But they might be sad because you are sad too…” hearing her he looked at her, looking at her eyes, he saw her looking at him as if they were talking through their eyes. Sanaya stared at the stars then holding his hand she let out, “Do you see the stars in the sky?”As she said so he gaped at the stars and saw the beautiful sky. “I wanted to hate my birth parents and also, thank them that I got to meet my mom and dad
In the heavy rain, they couldn’t go back but stay in a hotel and she got to know that the hotel belonged to Nick. All the staff greeted them with respect as soon as they saw the couple.“You go and change first,” Nick said so.“No, you will catch a cold so you go first…” she protested.“No, I won’t. So go and…”“But…”“Or maybe you want us to go in together?”“No, I… I am going.” Sanaya quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door. Nick smiled and as someone knocked at the door, he went to open the door.She was looking in the mirror when he knocked at the door and asserted, “Here are your clothes. Change into them.”She slightly opened the door and when she was about to take the clothes from his hand her eyes caught on his body. Water was still dripping down to his wet hair and his body could be seen through his shirt as it was wet too. “Why don’t you change first? I really can wait.”“Let’s do it together then.” As he was about to enter the bathroom, she quickly took the clothe
"Ok, go with plan A." Nick hung up after talking to someone over the call. As he went around and saw Sanaya, he put the phone aside and stepped toward her. 'It was his father, Yehan Davis who wanted to kill him all these years...' The words that the man told her earlier beat in her ears again. He was walking towards her, suddenly she whirled around and wiped off her tears. He noticed her doing so."What's wrong?" Nick turned her around while seeing her tearful eyes.Better not to tryna hide it, Sanaya kneaded her face with the back of her hands and blurted out, "Something got into my eyes." She looked away and rubbed her eyes.The more she was tryna stop crying, the more it was difficult to do so. Sanaya tried holding onto her tears while covering her mouth with both her hands.His gentle touch on her shoulder got her to put her hand down to her mouth. Nick veered her around and wiped off her tears. As his finger touched her face, she couldn't help anymore. She burst out in tears and
"Miss Mona."Kyle flinched on his way to step out of the mansion as he saw Mona enter through the front gate of the big mansion.Seeing him she stopped walking and contended, "Hello, Mr. Kyle.""Hi." He added and stood like a monument while observing her.Kind of awkward cessation. "Ahh, is Mrs. Davis inside?" As she asked Kyle answered her, "No, not yet.""Ahh, ok. Then I will wait inside." To keep her company as his heart wanted to do so, he walked with her through the entrance. After talking to Sanaya, Mona was told to come to meet her at the mansion. Mona had a file holding in her hand, probably something important was in it. Seeing the file Kyle became curious to know what it was about. **More than one hour passed since they parted. Sanaya headed toward the mansion when Nick went the opposite way. Though he did not want, Kyle said that they had a meeting he must need to attend. Having no choice he went to the office and Sanaya went back to the mansion."Mrs. Elisa, please send
"What? She ran away?" Kyle looked around to check if his boss heard him. D*mn! He was about to freeze there even in such fine weather.He was already tensed imagining Nick's reaction once he would know that... From the other side of the call, Mona sounded as panicked and tensed as him. "She said she must go. I don't know where did she go, what to do now? Now, reporters are looking for her everywhere, and that fake news might have already made the audience dislike her. I can't understand... What... What to do now.""Ok, let me handle it. I will send men to find Mrs. Davis, please don't worry. We will surely find her." Kyle tried reassuring her.There, Sanaya was steering the car at the increased speed on the road. Her fingers lingered on the gear impatiently and she focused on the road. As her phone started ringing, she took a look at it and didn't bother to pick up the call. The cars on the road, and the traffic jam was eating her patience.As soon as the road started getting clear, s
Nick was in the meeting room, it was already lunchtime but he was so busy working. Kyle had been gone for ten minutes, he was supposed to be back by now though. Nick stared at his watch and as he saw Kyle, he let out a sigh. Kyle sauntered into the room and strolled toward Nick. Technically, he couldn't show more bravery than this. Though he knew he would probably be in trouble yet... Squatting a little closer to his ears Kyle reported to him in a tensed tone, "Someone posted some photos of you and Mrs. Davis. They are slandering her saying she... She seduces you to...""What?" Nick sounded furious. Looking at everyone in the meeting room to be surprised, he wheezed and announced, "Meeting adjourned." And with that he waddled out of the room immediately, Kyle following him behind."Sir, I have another matter to report to you."Nick turned around and looked at his wristwatch, "Why didn't you tell me about it before?""You were in a serious meeting so... I didn't dare to."Hearing him
