Daniel stared at the picture.He stared caressing her image with his thumb as if to get physical contact with her.
He missed her. He missed Red.
This time he wasn't too resentful about admitting it. But just to himself though.
His gaze never left it was that picture the nosy photographer had taken of them. He had grown to really like it. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
He also admitted to himself now that he had growing feelings for Red. Maybe just a little but it still counted, yea?
Over the time they had spent together ever since they were tolerant of each other, he had come to admire her.
After their little make out session, memories of it never leaving his head he was...he didn't have a word for what he was and when she sent that text, heRelated chapters

"Ouch!" He cried as the bouquet met his face, "What the hell Red?!" His hand came up scratching the pained area as he spat out daisy petals that had gotten into his mouth. Red dropped the bouquet angrily and stomped at it with her feet. "What the hell Red?! He asked again, " What's the matter with you?" "You looked ridiculous." She snorted at him. They were still at the doorway. He wasn't sure if she was going to let him in, "At least I made you laugh." He grinned. "That was a good start." Red nodded folding her hands and leaning against the door frame, "TILL YOU RUINED IT WITH DAISIES!" She yelled at him. He flinched at her voice,"Well, what the hell is wrong with daisies?" Daniel did find out what was wrong with

"Stop the fucking music!" Daniel yelled at the orchestra performers in anger at the same time pulling himself away from Red, "Everyone get out!" He screamed at them again including the waiters.Red just stood there looking unaffected as the members of the orchestra and waiters that had served them scurried out of the room."What is the matter with you Red?" He asked turning to her, "What the hell do you want now?""Why are you yelling Daniel?" She asked him calmly, "You scared those nice people.""Why did you say no?" He asked her not paying attention to what she was saying, "I did everything you requested for why still a no?""Well." She sighed looking straight at him, "I wanted purple roses but you gave me red instead."

"Get your ass up!" Red poked her head through the door startling Daniel, "It's time, it's time!" She yelled."Coming!" He matched her tone and quickly got his laptop off and grabbed his coat."Could you hurry up?!" She tapped her feet impatiently, "Stop being a slug." She was super excited tonight. She and Daniel were going on their very first date as a couple and he had let her plan it all.She smiled as she looked at the strikingly attractive face of her few days old boyfriend and she couldn't draw her eyes off his lips, lips that she ravished at any opportunity she got."Shall we?" He smiled down at her and grabbed her hand before placing a chaste kiss on her lips.Red tilted her head upward and intended to deepen the kiss but he stopped her, "We are late." She whispered.She nodded, grabbed his hand excitedly be

"I grew up at an orphanage, neither knowing my parents or roots." She began her tale while her head rested on Daniel's shoulder.He stroked her hair lovingly."They didn't even know who had dropped me off." She added."So..." Daniel cut in, "You have no idea who your parents are or where you came from?" He asked stroking her hair.Red hesitated a bit before answering, "I have got no idea who they are nor where I came from." She said, "I was mute growing up, not born mute but it was selective muteness.""What do you mean?" He questioned."I was always withdrawn not talking to anyone cause I didn't like the kids there at the foster home they bullied me a lot." She heard Daniel's sharp intake of breath indicating anger, "I was always sick, my hair falling out and all. That was what the kids bullied me for especially when I became completely bald it got worse." She sighed, "Ev

"He's alive!" The older man at the end of the phone growled and She flinched, "Why the fuck can't you do just one thing right?"She didn't have an answer to give nor an explanation on how a very well plotted assassination had failed.It took them months to get this far but it all came crumbling down with that one mistake."Why the fuck aren't you talking idiot?!" The man yelled this time. Her hand holding up the phone was still shaking."Just give us time sir." Her voice trembled, "We would fix it.""I have eyes watching you." She looked around frantically observing the pitch dark room she was in with only a single ray of light coming from the broken part in the door.He couldn't possibly see me now, she thought, can he?"I don't give second chances." He said before swearing at her in Italian, "Where is that stupid husband of yours?"

Bloody murder! Daniel wanted to scream but he had to control himself but he was losing itAs he watched Red lying on the bed helplessly in deep sleep and as the doctor filled his ears with his diagnosis, he really wanted to scream with each passing moment.Poisoning! Poisoning! Bloody poisoning.Red had been poisoned as the doctor said and the only thing they had taken that morning was the pancakes he ordered for breakfast.He wanted to go back to the restaurant and let all hell break loose on them if they do not provide the miscreant who had done it but his mother had held him, pleaded and distracted him with talks of why didn't you tell me you had finally gotten a girlfriend."She would be okay right?" Mrs Hart asked the doctor while squeezing her son's hand, "Is it survivable?"

Red's mouth was wide agape immediately they drive through the tall silver metallic gates. She gazed in admiration at the green expanse of land with lots of masquerade and oak trees spread across the lands. The trees were mostly entwined with vines giving it a creepy old look. How much she loved that look.He continued driving smiling as he watched her marvel at the grand scenery, wait till the gets to the house, He chuckled."Are you a fucking prince?!" Her voice came out as a yell immediately the manor was in view as they had gotten to a section where the trees were sparse and the land was mowed .The house was sitting there majestically in all its glory.It reminded her of a modern medieval castle. A mini castle tho, the type a duke or duchess would own.

"I grew up in Greece." Daniel began as he laid more comfortably on the bed with his hands neatly placed behind his head, "It was Greece." He repeated again.Red did the same but with her hands around his torso and head tucked in the crook of his neck, "Greece?" She wondered, "That's new and unexpected.""Well..." He said, "Maybe some day I would take you there." He suggested with a smile."That would be lovely." She stated, "Is Mr Daniel Hart being romantic?"He rolled his eyes, "When was I ever never romantic?""You do not want me to get started on that." She jabbed his chest a bit in a playful gesture, "Continue your story.""Greece was lovely and peaceful." He continued his tale, "I loved it a lot. I loved the place I still do. I had friends I grew up with back then, mum was always around." He held her hand and began to stroke it as if it would calm him down from some built up tension, "Dad always came home early and with goodies too. I w
