Let's Date

Elijah knew it was impossible to change my mind so, he couldn't disagree.

I now was walking around the hospital room. Zoa now flew out from beneath the hospital bed and scared Elijah.

"Oh....don't worry. It is Zoa my pet bird."

"You have a pet bird?" He made a weird face.

I asked "Why? you Earthlings don't have pet birds?" With an agitated look.

"We do....but we don't allow them to fly.....and...what do you mean by Earthlings?"

"Ummm... nothing?" the answer was technically vague.

Then I took the couch to sit and he was sitting on the bed.

It was morning and the sun was shining putting the lights right inside the hospital room like spotlight.

Zoa was sitting right next to me and Elijah was quite fascinated about the fact that the bird was too intelligent for her species.

I couldn't help notice his face structures too perfect. I loved the way his messy hairs caught my attention every time I looked at him.

The sun light on his face felt like god was also keeping this guy into spotlight. I also started falling for him but didn't want to admit it just like him.

ELIJAH'S VIEW....

She was sitting right next to me on the couch with her bird. Her face was so flawless that it didn't even required any foundation or makeup.

The sun shining on her face made it more clear and beautiful. She looked like an angel. Her laughter sounded like the most amazing melody in the world.

I started to fall too hard for her. I never want to admit it though because a playboy with the heart of ice can't melt for anyone and specially for a girl like this.

BOTH....

That silence between us....I hated it because it felt like this silence wanted to breakthrough and admit what's in the heart. I stopped it any cost because I can't melt. Because I can't accept the life like that.

ARI'S VIEW....

Elijah now started "Tell me something about you."

"huh?"

"come on, I need to know about my.....Ex."

Ex? Right, we broke up he is my Ex and I am his.

He continued "I have to stop you if you try to defame me, right? Because all my Exes had done that."

Exes? I was not his first? Ofcourse. He is a playboy what could I expect from him.

I now said "I won't."

He looked at me. Stopped for a few seconds and said "I know you won't but it's good to be safe."

I gave him a vague smile and said "Then go on...ask."

"Tell me about your family."

Family? My father? My mother? My uncle? The love triangle? Alien human love story? which one? there was too many and I still did not trust him that much.

"My father Ethan Edwards and my mom Alice Edwards were lovers and they successfully married. My mom left my father and I stayed with her. She died of god knows who just 2 weeks ago. My father is someone...I still don't know."

He looked at me with sympathy which I least expected.

"So sad, I am sorry."

"Now.....Mr Smith can you tell me about your family?"

"You met them."

"Elijah....It was clear that you didn't like your mom. You called her Mrs Smith instead of mom."

I could see he was not ready to open up to me "Look Elijah....if you are not comfortable then let it be."

"No.....No.....She is my step mom."

I didn't press any further because I knew he was not going to open up even if I force him.

After these questions the situation turned awkward and surroundings became tensed.

Zoa signalled me out. I took permission and left the room. Zoa told me about another attack at a place. I ran there immediately solved the problem and came back but Zoa stayed back at the room just in case.

After I returned it was night and I bought something to eat. I knew what the charming potion is so, it was easy for me to choose the food.

We ate and slept. I took the couch. I slept like a baby that night.

At morning I woke up and saw that I was on the bed and Elijah already woke up and was on laptop.

I remember nothing. What the heck happened.

Elijah looked at me quite aggressively. That look was enough for me to understand that I had done something disastrous AGAIN!!!

Elijah said "I am leaving for office and you go back home."

"Ummmm....Elijah can you tell me what happened?"

PREVIOUS NIGHT (ELIJAH'S VIEW)....

We both went to sleep I saw her take the couch but didn't say anything though I felt bad.

At midnight I woke up and because Ari was around I was actually sleeping after that night.

I saw Ari was also sleeping but the problem was she was at the corner of couch. I stepped down and walked towards her.

I saw her, she had this weird innocence on her face. That always made this cold devil heart melt. I always tend to laugh seeing her innocence. She is cute like a baby.

While sleeping even when drooling she looks better than anyone. Her hairs were falling on her face and her mouth open. She kept drooling and she actually sleeps like a doll.

I kept looking at her and didn't notice she was about to fall. I got my senses back and tried to push her back to the couch but instead she fell on me.

I was on the floor and she slept on me hugging me. I didn't wake her up because she was actually sleeping deeply otherwise she would have worked up.

I pushed her to one side first and then picked her up to place on the bed.

I now went to take the couch. I couldn't sleep anymore and it was already about 5 AM so, I woke up and took my laptop to work.

PRESENT TIME (ARI'S VIEW)

He saw me tensed and started laughing loud. I never saw him laughing. Ignoring the fact that he was laughing on me, he looked cute.

His laughter was so sweet and rare. He said catching his breath "you get so tensed." He again started laughing and said "You just fell from the couch so, I picked you up and placed you on the bed."

I placed my hand on my head and said "You..."

He stopped laughing, keeping his finger on his lips though he felt like laughing and I know that well.

I asked "what next?"

That question actually stopped him from his laughing.

He walked out of the room first. I thought it was over so, I got down from the bed and sighed when he entered again.

I saw him and his cold eyes but before I could say anything "Let's date..."

"W...w...what? Like the contract?"

"No....for real this time."
