Chapter ８: Jealous?

ALEX'S POV.

I saw Daisy standing near the door, staring at me with sadness. I had always cared for her happiness. She is quite possessive with me and for her happiness I had always kept myself away from any other girl but now it's about Sasha. She needs me the most. I cannot let her suffer alone. Once I pushed her away from me but now I won't. I can't manage to lose her. The air felt heavy. I sighed and walked towards her.

"Daisy."

She averted her gaze from me as she folded her arms around her chest, fuming with anger.

"You don't need to say anything, Alex." She growled as her eyes turned darker, "Look I am telling you, if you try to ditch me, I will ruin everything Alex."

"And do you think I am scared of your threats?"I retorted.

"I trust you Alex, I trust you more than myself." She whispered, "But this heart of mine is crazy for you. You know what have I done for you and family, I expect the same from you. I can't lose you. I know that you love me, you only love me." She held my hand between her palms and with a forced smile she said, "I trust you but not her! Remember one thing Alex, if you cheated on me, " her eyes roamed around as she rushed in the kitchen, grabbing the knife, "Tell me if you don't love me, if you don't want me in your life, I will slit my wrist and set you free."

I ran towards her, snatching the knife away from her wrist, "Are you mad Daisy? Have can you give your life for a guy? Don't you care about your parents?"

She shoved me away and yelled, "No! I don't care about anyone, all I care about is you! Only you! And if I don't have you in my life, I don't want to live! "

I punched his temples and whisper-yelled, "It's nothing like that. I am not anywhere Daisy!" Why the hell are you over reacting as if I have I left you or married someone else? She is just a friend Daisy who needs my help! If you were in my shoe you would have done the same!"

She sighed and hugged me, kissing my cheek, she apologized, "I am sorry baby. I love you so much that a mere thought of you loving someone else makes me wild."

You have put me in a situation I would never be able to remove myself from.

"I will set the table for us."

After having our dinner, Daisy went in the kitchen to do the dishes, while I came in the balcony to talk to the doctor.

"Alex, how is it going?" He said over the phone, "Is she fine?"

"She is just sleeping whole day. She is having a lot of nightmares." I said.

"Are you still giving her the medications?"

"Yes doctor."

He sighed and said, "Alex. If you continue giving her sleeping pills, she will always be dizzy. I think you should stop them now."

"How can I doctor? She don't know anything and she is still getting nightmares related to that night." I exclaimed pressing my temples, "if she remembered everything doctor, she won't be able to handle herself. I am scared that she might try to harm herself."

"I understand you Alex, but today or tomorrow she will remember everything, she will have to face the reality. We can't just keep her in daze for lifetime."

"What should I do?"

"Okay, for now you just cut off the dose, give her half a pill. It will help her to fall asleep without a severe pang of dizziness. And yes try to keep her distracted. Keep her busy. The less time she have to think, the less chances are for her to recall the past events. And yes, keep her away from things that can trigger those events."

"Thanks doctor."

I turned in the kitchen to set dinner for Sasha but when I entered in I saw Daisy preparing a tray.

"What's this?"

"Dinner for Sasha." She smiled while placing a glass of milk on the tray.

"Thanks Daisy." I said, "I know it's hard for you but you are still doing this for me."

"My happiness is in your happiness Alex. I can't see you like this, near her" she whispered the last two words.

I followed her as she took the tray for Sasha and woke her gently. Sasha groaned before finally waking up. The doctor was right, the dose is getting heavy for her, I should reduce the pills.

Daisy smiled at her and help her sit up and have her dinner. Daisy was constantly talking with Sasha about their hobbies and I found Sasha happy with her. I think she forgot the nightmare. Daisy took care of her like a sister and I was relieved to see it. At first I was scared to trust Daisy for Sasha's safety. I thought she will be jealous and will hate Sasha to be with us, but she gave in so easily. She is really a gem of a person. But the thing that scares me is her trust. How can someone trust anyone so much! Daisy is made of glass, and I am scared to break her. I don't trust myself at all, especially after meeting Sasha again.

Sasha's face was smiling and I couldn't help but stare at her in awe. In this state also she looked breathtaking. I didn't knew bringing her back into my life will have such an effect on me. I was craving to be with her, I was craving to be carefree and happy just like before but a single look at Daisy and I realized what I am today. I am committed and thinking about anyone other than Daisy is a crime for me.

SASHA'S POV.

It was past midnight and I sat here with Daisy by my side. Honestly, I hated her at first but she is a kind of girl with whom you can't stay mad for too long, her aura forces you to talk to her. After having dinner she didn't left my side. We were chatting about our hobbies. I learned that she loves to go for shopping. She is a social media freak and for her likes on her pictures matters more than people liking her in real life. her mornings starts at Instagram and ends on Facebook. She seems a pampered, spoilt brat to me. "What are your hobbies?" She asked and I realized that I have left all my hobbies behind, currently I am just an empty soul.

"I used to write before." I answered.

"Write? why kind of writings?

"Poems, novels and diaries."

She raised her brows and commented, "you seem to be a nerd. I don't remember when I read a book or wrote something other social media captions. Can you write something for this picture." she probed, showing me a picture of Alex shirtless. Dressed in his blue sweatpants, he gripped his punching bag tight, glaring at the camera with his dark eyes. It looked like he was intruded and was really furious at the camera. His muscles and abs were flaunted and I felt an urge to touch them. I wonder if he still workout like before. I can say that this is an old picture because he isn't as fit now as he was before. He looked hot. Extremely hot. I had to avert my eyes to stop myself from drooling over his picture.

"This looks like an old picture. I don't think Alex is still a fitness freak, is he?" I questioned as Daisy's mouth fell open bit she closed it in a second and shrugged, " I clicked this photo, like a year before when just shifted in and I don't know why he was so furious, I saw him beating his anger on the punching bag. He looked so sexy that I couldn't help but snap a picture but I couldn't post it. You know every time I post his picture my followers always increase. But he is not letting me click good pictures of him now. And I have no choice but to post this picture of him, I am sure my account will be on fire after posting this one. I am so excited to see all the jealous faces."

I faked a smile at her.

"Did he have an obsession for gym and sports?"

"Yes, he was mad over it. His day used to start in the gym and end in the football ground. I remember how he used to torture me with his Fifa matches and Coca Cola cans. You know he made me buy a football jersey for my birthday!" I blabbered lost in the moment.

"Really?" Daisy stated in a serious tone, "Honestly I would love to watch him exercise, play football, spend time watching Fifa with me, but it never happened. Since I have seen him, he had no interest in any of these things. For him only earning money and his business is everything. I had always known that he loves to travel but you know what, he haven't travelled anywhere much, Though we went for dinner every Sunday, though he is present with me, I felt we were poles apart." The remorse in her voice made my heart skip beats. I wonder what forced him to change so much. I never imagined his life without sports and travelling.

"Anyways, I should sleep. It's already late and I don't want dark circles under my eyes like you." she commented, "I will tell Alex to show you your room. "

My room? I wonder what she was talking about.

ALEX'S POV.

"Alex, can you please tell her to go to her room." Daisy ordered folding her hand on her chest, "It's already late, I want to sleep."

I looked at her and replied, "Yea, I will take her."

"You can give me the keys, I can show her Alex."

"You can go and look after your beauty Daisy. I will take care of her." without waiting for a reply I left the room, with the keys in, my pocket.

I knocked the door of the Daisy's room where Sasha was. She stood up gazing at me as she walked towards me,

She stumbled, walking with the support of the wall. I went near her and grabbed her wrist, she looked at me confused. I pulled her out with me, as I walked towards the room, her room. I stopped her right before the golden door. Her startled face made me smirk. I removed the keys from my pocket and unlocked the door. She looked puzzled, I flashed the door open and her eyes grew wide as saucers.

Of course she never expected me to buy this apartment. After our arrival in this house, I didn't met Sasha. After a week, our house boss arrived with a maid. I learnt from her that Sasha had left the house and now he is here to clean it so that he can find a new tenant for his house. I looked at the room where her smell was still lingering. All her clothes, her belonging s, her clothes were scattered around. I couldn't let her memories go. I immediately rented this small piece of land attached to my house and preserved it. And  when I was finally capable of buying the house, I bought this little one room apartment too. I have preserved this place as it was. Yes many a times, I spend my nights in this room feeling her smell and invading her personal diary and sketch book.

"A..Alex." She stuttered, stepping inside the room, "Why do you have to preserve this room. Everything is as it was when..when I left."

"This room is a part of my house. Everything here is a part of my mind and you are a part of me." I bit my tongue and just smiled, "Anyways, goodnight." I closed the door leaving her all by herself. I hope I gave her enough memories to lose herself into. I hope she won't think about the Saturday night.
