Can't live without you anymore

Third-Party Pov

Megan looked at Eric thinking of confronting him, but Etic was busy talking to Crystal... After dinner, Ray was the first one to stand up and saw his bye with Mia... Mia had moved with Ray to his house, they lived together, were even preparing their wedding in a month, while Eric was reluctant to leave, he was looking at Crystal, as he stood up to leave when Christian had his eyes in Riley... Megan looked at everyone and thought it herself, it was only her and Daniel who were cursed to live alone, after partially knowing he was still alone, he had just brought Becka, to act as his girlfriend, Megan left even more sore in her heart... She thought to herself

"Does he love only me then..."

As she thought, she wanted to give Christine some more time with Riley... They needed to confront each other about what they felt for each other... As she thought, Megan decided, to be the one go-to Seattle, and leave these both twin, at last, to find their love... About her, she has lost it many years back... And nothing was left for her here, and if what Daniel did to those who hurt her... He has to come and tell her, convince her, Her love for him was true... So she thought, She deserved little more of his attention than last time... Daniel needed to propose to her, as all men do... At the thought of it, she smiled thinking, Daniel fully grown-up man, a CEO of two reputated companies chasing her... Would be fun...

Crystal walked Eric out to get a cab, as he was dropped by Daniel... And finally asked

"Are you sure you want to take a cab or I can drop you"

Eric shook his head and said,

"No need, I will take a cab... It's not safe to drive back alone"

When without a thought, Crystal just blurted out saying

"I can stay with you"

Eric looked at her with surprise, while Crystal's face blushed red... Out of embarrassment, at what she had told, Eric just chuckled and said

"That would be my pleasure if you wanted to stay"

As he said he walked the distance between them and stood so near to Crystal, that his breathing fanned her cheek, Crystal was so panicked, she didn't know what to do... While Eric, held Crystal's shoulders and turned her face him... Crystal acted as if she was a puppet, without her knowledge turned to face Eric, when Eric lifted her face to see her in the eye and said...

"Crystal, do you know how much I like you, I have never needed any one as much as I need you... I have been alone from a young age, so... Can you be in my life to complete all my emptiness..."

"What do you mean, Eric"

Crystal looked at his eyes and asked, though she know what he was saying, she wanted to hear it from his mouth, when Eric again cleared his throat, removed a chain from his neck, which looked a little old, he cut down to his knees and said

"Crystal, this is my mom's, I have not even removed this once after her death, I offer this as my love to you... Be mine, I Love You"

Crystal stood there without moving, she didn't know what to say... Her stomach had butterflies... Thinking a proposal could be this heavy, her eyes teared, as she nodded her head, but this time Eric didn't give in, he wanted her to say loud that she loved him, and wanted to be his...

"I need you to say it, Crystal... "

Crystal, finally shyly said...

"Yes, Eric I want to be your... I love you"

That's when there were fireworks in the sky, both Eric and Crystal looked surprised at the sky... Where the colourful fire flowers bloomed like their hearts with happiness, which both have never experienced, when Eric tugged Crystals wrist, pulled her to him, kissed her lips, Crystal was so shocked of the feeling that spread all over her body, by his lips touching hers, both were lost in the newly found happiness, when Eric slowly moved his hands and put his mother's chain around Crystal's neck, deepening his kiss... Both were pulled back when they heard claps around them, Crystal looked up at her brother, who was the one holding the firework in his hands, with all other people, and finally, she saw Megan, smiling... Crystal ran to Megan and hugged her, as she hid her face in her shoulders... While Eric was blushing, put his head down not daring to look at anyone, Everyone laughed teasing her saying...

"Now you both are feeling shy..."

After everyone was left, only it was Megan and Riley, Eric had taken Crystal on a long drive, even promised Christian, that he will take good care of her, and bring her back before late night, Christian smiled and nodded while said

"Take good care of her, it's only her I have as a family..."

Riley's heart finished at his words, thinking how much he had to go through in this life to say those words... When Megan walked to him, held his hand and said

"Iam leaving for Seattle tomorrow, Christian will be here to handle everything, You need to be more strong to accept what you really are, just fearing the world will only make you sad... Think about it"

"But why do you have to leave"

"There is a lot of work in Seattle unfinished... I will come back, but not very soon, I am leaving Christine here for you, and him..."

As she said, Megan smiled, tapped his shoulder, turned and walked in... When Christine turned to see Riley looking at him, he was stunned at the way Riley looked at him, Riley had an unknown feeling...while thinking about what Megan had said,

Yes, this was his life, why was he so worried about what people will think, if it was about his company, then he will step down as a CEO and make his brother Ray the CEO, he needed this man in front of him, his heart raced as he walked fast to Christine, Christine looked at Riley in surprise thinking what was he thinking, and why was he walking so fast to him, before he could possess it, Riley had walked to him, pulled him with all his strength and kissed him... Christine's brain went blank at what Riley had done, he didn't expect that Riley could be this rebellious... Christian smiled and hugged him, with whatever he had, after a few minutes, both separated and smiled at each other, and that was when Riley said

"I can't imagine a life without you, Christine... Don't leave me"

Christine was in shock at his s confession... He smiled and hugged him again, and said

"I too don't want to leave but.."

Before he would say anything more, Riley said

"Megan is going to Seattle, she's leaving you here for me..."

Christian again looked at Riley with unbelievable eyes but realised he was not bluffing when he was his eyes... He nodded and said

"Then I am not leaving you any soon... Or forever"

Both smirked and walked hand in hand towards the apartment...

Brain Store,

Jack was closing his shop when he heard lazy footsteps... He knows who.it was even without turning, as he locked the last lock, he asked

"What brings you here, I thought you will be enjoying with your wife... Oh sorry Ex-wife "

He chuckled as he said, which made Daniel even angrier, he kicked him on his back, making Jack to stumble on the gates of his store...

"Hai, have you gone mad... Why did you kick me, Danny"

Daniel didn't answer him, he just went hugged him, letting go of the last hope he had, that Megan will take him back... Jack was startled by what Daniel did, he had never in his life seen him so emotional, he had not been this venerable even when he lost Megan, but now he's so much in pain, and venerable, Jack said

"Ok, stop hugging me now, I will take you to for a drink... Then we can talk"

Daniel nodded without a word when both reached the nearby bar, both sat there, Daniel drank without a word, and finally said

"Megan doesn't want me... She as someone else she likes, I think, but that night when she was drunk, she said that, she loves me..."

Jack smiled at his stupid friend's grumbling... And said

"Did you sit and talk to her at least once, after you found her... No... a big NO, and you expect her to run to you and say, that she loves you, when she is sober..."

"What you want me to tell her... I already asked, give me a second chance but she doesn't want to"

"You only just asked her... Give me a second chance, and Megan should agree to you... Are you really so stupid"

"Why??? What I did now"

"Daniel, you have hurt her the most, because she loved you the most in all her life, because of you, Megan lost her child, almost killed... You hurt her so many times because of your mother... and now you just want her to come back to you on a word of yours"

Daniel look at Jack in astonishment... It was true, Megan was the one, who was hurt more than him... She was almost killed, thinking of which chill ran his spine, but his easy he wants her back, without holding back... He should be the one to comfort her first, by showing there was danger or anybody's interference in their life, but what was he doing... Thinking of which he felt irritated when Jack again spoke

"I know with that big brain of yours, your useless, you know she loves you, chase her now, showing her how much you love her, want her, need her in your life, Make Megan feel like the way you made her feel when you both first fell in love with...Make Megan irresistible of you... She needs to throw herself at you, as she did before, feel safe and trust you again... Still that you can't get her back"

Daniel looked at Jack with his mouth opened, while thinking, what jack said made sense... When Jack again said,

"Close your mouth now... Few mosquitoes will go in that tunnel of yours"

Daniel blinked a few times and closed his mouth... After a few more drinks, Daniel and Jack left...

The next day Daniel got ready, and bought a bouquet of Megan's favourite flowers and went to the project site, with Eric... Daniel was grinning as held the flowers and walked to see the twins talking something very seriously, while his minion was missing... When went near them, he asked

"Where is she..."

Christine looked up, while thought, the "she" referred to Megan... And said

"Megan left to Seattle this morning, leaving me to handle everything here, as her partner I equally have authority to do decisions on her behalf "

Daniel was so dumbfounded at what Christian said, Megan left again, without even a bye... He was so angry, he wanted to burn the whole place, he walked to his car, when Eric, hurried to him....

"Sorry Boss, I didn't know Madam was leaving...what are going to do"

Daniel thought for some time and said

"Book me the next flight to Seattle... "

I need to get her at any cost, I can't live anymore without her as he thought, he kissed the flowers in his hand and said,

"Wait for me Megan, I will come and sweep you from your feel again..."
