NAYA’S P.O.VI held the small phone in my hand, admiring it with a smile on my face. I stare at the small note Talon left beside the phone – simple and straight forward but it still managed to bring a smile to my face. Well, that s step worked well, didn’t it? Still smiling, I turned around, slipped on my flip-flops and walked out of the room. I walked down the long hallway leading to the stairs, and slowly descended the stairs. Before I could get down the stairs, I heard the voices of everyone in the living room. A sudden fear and agitation washed through me at that for a while. Would I really have to face Talon’s family this morning? I let out a sigh. Looked like I didn’t have a choice. I walked down the stairs, one step at a time, hoping my anxiousness wasn’t so vivid on my face. As I descended, they all came into view – Eric, Karen and Nelson. However, none of them really noticed me as they were all engrossed in their conversation with each other. Karen was engrossed with her mo

TALON’S P.O.VI could not remember the last time I got surprised.When I said ‘surprise’ I meant the kind that caught you off guard, that stopped your heartbeat for a millisecond and then got it racing again. I had trained myself to not entertain any form of emotions including surprise. I spent years of my life learning to not show my emotions – fear, sadness, surprise, shock. Even when I once received news about a cousin of mine dying, I had not shown my shock or sadness or fear. When my parents organized surprise family trips to expensive countries and places, I still never showed any emotion – surprise, happiness or excitement – never. Growing up, no matter the amount of surprise party my parents threw for my birthday, I never showed real surprise. My facial expression was always the same – jaw tightened, lips pursed, face stoic. Each passing year and I never changed and my parents were beginning to feel frustrated with me; I could sense it. They spent years trying to change that

TALON’S POVThe man in front of me, staring at me, the same Talon Thwaites I'd known all my life, was not this one. He couldn't be. Talon Thwaites never stares at woman the way he did. It's unlike him.Anger pouring through me at the sudden feeling I can't place, I raise my hands up, and let it fall forcefully on the mirror in front of me.Guess who comes walking into the room? Another woman.***Why do you try so hard to please Eric?immediately the words fell into my ears, i lost mototr function. or ratehr, my motor function was rearranged. As though being pushed, I turned towards the girl sitting on the bed and I felt my anger rising as I neared her. Why do I try so hard to please my dad? Was she mad? The one thing I didn’t do in my life was please others – except yourre a customer paying for the comfort.When i was about to open my mouth, the sound of knocks on the door called at me. I blinkied and she was gone from before me when I opened my eyes. I didn’t stand for long in that

NAYA’S POV When the car reached the front gate, we were checked in by security who smiled heartily at Manuel — dude was so popular! Gosh! Past the security, who made a show of checking underneath the car for bombs. Anyways, Manuel shook hands with one of them and I didn’t miss the green paper that changed hands.The car drove past the checkpoint, moving past card and I waited for us to settle into the parking area. Except we didn’t. The driver kept driving towards the building and I felt my chest tightening.What happens now? What if security called us for trespassing? Would the trip to the Maldives be cancelled? I was looking forward to this! Why is the driver acting like he’s some brainless twat? This isn’t how it happens in the movies! The driver’s don’t drive like they’re going mad!Looking over to Talon, I saw his eyes buried in his iPad as he relaxed into the passenger seat of the Mazda CX-5 we were crushing along in, looking as handsome as ever. What was wrong with him? Why wa

TALON’S POVI could not contain my anger and disgust when the plane landed and almost crashed into the middle of nowhere. How could something as severe as that happen?"Hey, you two!" I yelled at two of the crew members. "You're fired.""Please, don't do this sir –""Shut up." I turned to some other crew members. "And you all are fired too. I don't ever want to see you anywhere near me!" I was burning inside. At that point I didn't care about what was going to happen to them. I just wanted them out of my sight. By the time I was done firing some of the crew members, there was only a few persons left.Naya and I got down from the plane and I ordered Manuel to make reservations for our apartment. Naya was quiet the whole time. I thought about what she might be thinking about, but I didn't bother to ask her questions.We got into a private car and we were taken to an hotel owned by one of my old friend, Vince Dallas.As a young dude in his thirties, he was a man with a cunning personalit
