3. Freak 2

PRESENTLY..

They got to the airport and Nolan stepped out from the black Prada accompanied by Scorpion that stood beside him. He did not even waste a single second as he started towards the customized private jet made only for him.

The armed trails of convoys only came out to ensure his safety- I mean he is one of the wealthiest men on the planet and Royalty. They watched him go up the stairs into the jet with his right-hand man walking directly behind him.

"We take off in 5 minutes". The pilot blurted as he went back into the flight deck. Nolan said nothing to him. He didn't even look at him for his thoughts were wrapped around her. As minutes went by, the jet was ready to take off. It started moving slowly, then the pace increased and before they knew it, they were above the ground.

He watched how things began to shrink as they went higher into the clouds and her thoughts clouded him all over again. He thought of how they traveled around the world just like this, how she would lay on his chest and hold him tight because she was scared of heights, how she would laugh wholeheartedly when he talked about having twelve 

kids, and how she hated when he traveled alone. She even had to buy apartments around the world so that she could travel wherever he went. He didn't even know how to stop her when she made up her mind. Nolan smiled at those memories that hurt so much.

She was his everything, his life. She took a part of him with her when she left. He closed his eyes and all he saw was her face laughing, she was so beautiful when she smiled. Those days were the best days of his life. She was his heart and soul. He missed her so much and sometimes he wondered how he had managed to live these past years without her. Her memories flooded his thoughts.

After a couple of hours in the air, the jet landed softly but he didn't even notice. He stared out the window buried in that horrific past of his.

"We're in London, baby".

He didn't even hear when Scorpion said it. Those words never occurred to him until he was tapped softly on the shoulder and he turned his gaze to the tall figure that stood beside him.

"Are we going straight home?" Scorpion asked. Something was bothering Nolan and it was obvious what it was. He had always been like this since he lost her. Even if he tried to forget the past, it kept hunting him because he wasn't over her. He couldn't get over her.

"Yes". He was up in a split second. Scorpion is the only person that he could talk to normally. Apart from this man standing in front of him, there was no room for anyone else in his heart.

They got down from the jet and walked side by side into the Bugatti Veyron that already awaited them at the jet terminal. Scorpion took the driver's seat and Nolan sat on the opposite seat as they drove off. This was the first time they went anywhere without convoys. It felt normal, that was exactly what he wanted. To feel normal.

Scorpion gave Nolan a quick stare and looked back at the road. The drive was so quiet. Normally, before the incident, they would talk and gist their guts out. Her name never left his mouth and he teased him continuously with that. Now it is just Nolan but twice as rude as before he met her.

"Go faster".  Nolan muttered looking at the road, he was beginning to enjoy the ride. Scorpion shot a look at him with a certain grin on his face as he stepped on it. There was a thought attached to that smile on his face.

Why not make this interesting?

He accelerated to more speed gradually as he lifted the roof of the car allowing the flow of air to soothe the mood a little.

There was no expression on the heartless man's face. He closed his eyes to feel the breeze that caressed his hair. At least this was the only thing he could feel physically.

The road was free from people. so they drove as fast as the car could take. He felt at ease a little. Just a little.

Somehow, a little bit of weight was lifted from his shoulders and he felt at ease for just a few seconds. Since she left him, he hadn't even been able to feel anything, it was as if the color in his life disintegrated. All he could feel was anger and pain in his chest- who knew heartbreak could hurt so much even after five years? His eyes were still closed as the sudden clutch of the brake threw him back to reality.

There was a figure on the road, it went down as it folded itself in shock. It covered the bunny it was holding with Its body.

Scorpion came down from the car with a worried expression plastered on his face. He was scared that he had run someone over. He moved to the person folded on the floor like a dumpling and took a closer look. Fuck! It was a lady.

Is she alive?

He moved really close this time as she raised her head upon realizing that she wasn't hit by the car. She was literally shivering. Her eyes were so bright that he could see the fear boldly written in them.

"Are you okay, miss?" She looked like she was in shock. He sighed in relief when he saw that she wasn't crushed.

She didn't even utter a word as Scorpion lowered himself to the ground and looked closely at her. She looked at the man again but couldn't stay awake. She blacked out. Just as she was about to hit the ground roughly, he caught her.

Nolan watched from the car as he saw the woman pass out. He rolled his eyes at her action.

She wasn't even hit.

He watched Scorpion lift her from the ground as he approached the car. Where does he intend to keep her? This is just a duo-seat car, for the driver and his guest.

Wait a sec...

He doesn't intend to tie her to the car, does he?

Nolan watched him walk back to the door with the lady in his grip. "She is unconscious due to shock".

 Oh hell no.

He fucking wants me to carry this freak while he drives? Fucking hell, the looks in his eyes say it all.

This bastard...

"No". Nolan blurted plainly, knowing what he was about to say, he declined immediately.

"Common, you and I know you are forbidden to drive, you could get us killed." 

Just because he doesn't know how to drive at a normal speed frequency doesn't mean he was going to give up his dignity, these shits happen. You feel the breeze and you just let out your problems. Letting go means forgetting everything- even the road.

"Well, there's no way I'm letting that thing on my body".

Scorpion rolled his eyes. But of course. How did he even forget that he was talking to Nolan Armstrong? He didn't think this heartless man would make things easy for him did he?

FIVE YEARS EARLIER.

She was finally ready to meet his family. Nothing was going to stop her now. Neither work nor anxiety would stop her from meeting her baby's family. Kyla put the final touch of the powder as she stood up from the make-up chair.

She wanted to look pretty for him. Her dashing long brown hair was parked up in a ponytail style, revealing her ocean-like blue eyes. The black pants she wore gave her this model-like aura as she rocked them with a transparent silky top that exposed every part of her body, leaving two dark spots just to cover her breast nipples. She was ready. She strolled out of her room looking dashingly hot.

Her black Lamborghini Gallardo was already parked waiting for her as she walked out elegantly and got into it. Kyla o'roarke is known for her luxurious lifestyle. Her fashion sense and styles are top-notch. One of the most successful women in the world.

On her way to the airport, she called him.

"Hey, beautiful". His deep voice drove chills up her spine as a smile spread across her lips. Only he can do that to her.

"Hey baby, I'm on my way to the airport".

 His heart skipped a beat, he knew what she meant. His baby was coming to him. He will finally make her his. He will propose to her. She is in for a surprise. He will ask her to marry him– what they both secretly longed for.

She heard the excitement in his voice. She knew how happy he was and it made her happy as well. If she had been told that her happiness would come from the happiness of another, not just another but the man she is madly in love with, she would never have believed it. For this man, she could do anything. She didn't care if his family was not as wealthy as she was, even if she hadn't seen them, her love for him would never change.

"Then I guess I will be seeing you soon miss o'roarke ". He called her in that tone that made her feel butterflies.

She smiled.

"I love you". Her feelings were true. She will air them out if she had to say them a million times.

"I love you too".

 There was a smile on his face. It was the feeling he gets whenever she confessed her love to him. He couldn't get enough of her, that wasn't even possible.
