Nia is clueless as to how Bryce manage to bring her home with a wheelchair. She's very uncomfortable sitting on it while all the passersby judgemental eyes were on her until they reached the parking lot. The doctor recommended for her not to think deeply of anything for two whole weeks to avoid stress and not to wash her hair because the fresh wound might open up--the water may came inside her brain and it will decay in less than a year that can cause her death. She still wants to live. She wants to explore, experience adventure and travel--with Bryce if possible. "Why are you smiling while staring at your hands? Care to tell me what is interesting there?", his brows were in a thin line together while his eyes shows he's oblivious of her thoughts. Nia rolled her eyes and murmured to herself, "I thought women are the only busybody." The wheelchair stopped in front of the elevator abruptly. "What? I heard something about busybody

Nia nearly crumble down on the busy high way when the window she leaned on suddenly burst open. Her right foot slide down and she lost her balance. She got scared thinking that she will fell off face first on the cold pavement down the busy street without even saying anything to her mother for the past few days! Her heart sank when she didn't even hold on to the window pane! Nia closed her eyes to think straight--to clear the anxiety that is starting to build up--when a hand grabs her before she could go down further. "Jeez, woman! What are you thinking when you decide to hang out here? It's very dangerous when it's twenty floors downwards!" She abruptly hold on to the man's hand for her to survive. The man instantaneously tighten the grip on her knuckles and pull her up the window. She careen on the floor after touching the other unit's floor. Her breathing

Nia woke up with a headache. She tend to forget what she do when she reached her alcohol limit. She cannot sit up because when she tried to, her vision is spinning like crazy. In addition to that, there is heavy thing slammed at the lower part of her right thigh. Its as heavy as a hollow blocks and her whole body is aching like she got into a fight! She decided to just close her eyes and let herself sleep some more. Maybe after an hour or so, she can have a late breakfast. Nia clasp the other pillow she remembered that she put on the other side of the bed. To her surprise, what she had touched is something hairy. Did I get a furry cushion from the couch last night? She cradle on it, give a pinch a little bit--which is on of her habits in bed--before he mindlessly hug it. "Ouch!" "Why did it feels weird and yet so comfortable?" She murmure

On the next day, Nia was shocked to see Bryce roaming around their room half naked. His six packed and is sweaty while holding the tray of their breakfast. He put it on the side table before drying his body with a towel hanging on his shoulder."I heard you loudly snoring and that makes me get up early in the morning." His face is serious and he even touch the bottom part of his eyes with eye bags."I didn't snore! Its past four in the morning when I finally able to sleep while watching your deep breath from the back!" She pinch her lips because she said what she shouldn't in the first place.Bryce intently stare at her and she became conscious. She just wake up and she knew her hair is still a mess. Maybe she sti has dried saliva and morning sun on her eyes!"Argh!" I haven't wash my face and yet I had the guts to argue! She cover her face with both hands before quickly run towards the bathroom to do her morning routine.Bryce on the othe

True to Bryce's words, he woke up Nia at exactly five in the morning. He only slept two hours and he felt awful. He's not a morning person so his emotions spike up again. His head is spinning with mixed emotions right now while he is driving back to his condo. The three-hour drive became boring. He didn't even play any music to entertain Nia because of all the things he had on mind.When she came unexpectedly to his condo, he already knew his world will be upside down. He knew that when he become happy again, there might be somethings that will happen unaccordingly and he didn't expect it to happen that soon.He didn't even had the guts to take the baby steps for courting her and yet she give her answer right away.Is it a good thing that she lived from a liberated country?Will she really love me if I started to tell her what my past is?Will she stay on my side after I tell her all the things I'm afraid off to happen?
