They met again
A car was constantly honking from behind.
Emily and Daniel were standing in the middle of the road blocking the way.
He grabbed her hand and walked towards his car. Emily stood outside the door not knowing what was happening around her.
"What are you doing!?"
He sighed and made Emily sit in the car.
She sat in and rubbed her shoulders. She was shivering with cold.
Drops of rain water mixed with her warm tears were pouring down her face and hair.
Her teeth were clenching.
Daniel gave her a towel to dry herself up.
She grabbed the towel from him and brought it closer to her face. While she was doing so, she pressed it on her eyes and started crying again.This time she cried even louder.
He got annoyed by her noise.
(SIGHS)
"Gosh! Will you stop now!?"
Emily still didn't even know who she was with and where they were going.
She moved her head to see the person's face.
He looks familiar.
She thought.
She kept glancing at him for a moment.
"Stop staring at me. I need to drive."
Emily instantly moved her head away and blinked her eyes twice feeling awkward.
"Where do you live!?"
He asked her, looking straight ahead. She didn't spill a word.
"If you are not going to tell then I will have to leave you here on the street. Speak up already! Will you!"
Again there was silence
She just kept looking at the letter in her hands.
The paper was all wet with rain water.
Not getting any answer from her, Daniel sighed and drove in silence.
When they arrived at his house,he stepped out and waited for her to come out. But Emily kept sitting in and didn't bother to open the door.
After a moment, he himself opened the door for her.
She drew out and stood there still.
Daniel got irritated and started walking his way.
After walking a half way,he couldn't hear any footsteps behind him. He stopped taking further steps and turned around.
"Hey! Aren't you coming in?.. Do you want to go back?... Damn should I carry you now?"
Emily looked at his face and then his house.
He moved back to her, took her hand and hurried inside.
Emily was there in Daniel's room once again. She nervously gazed around.
" Are you going to keep standing like that!?"
" What!? Oh! "
She bit her lips in hesitation and looked here and there to find a spot to sit.
Daniel gazed at her and saw the confusion that crossed her face.
"Sit on the couch!"
She moved her eyes hastily to look at him and then the couch. She lifted her feet and slowly walked towards the couch.
A maid knocked on the door and came in.
"Give her some warm clothes to wear and make her hot soup. Check her temperature. If she's having a cold then call the doctor"
He ordered his maid who was a young girl standing next to Emily.
"Right away Sir!" She said and left the room.
Emily was sitting on the couch with her head resting down and doing something with her fingers. She looked all puzzled.
Daniel continued staring at her from the corner of his eyes.
He suddenly opened his shirt buttons and took his shirt off in front of Emily. He was barrel-chested and it looked as hard as a rock. He was not extremely muscular, with 8 pack abs or 16 cm biceps. He sure was handsome. Emily didn't notice him doing so.Daniel threw his shirt on a sofa and came closer to Emily. He bent down a little and brought his face closer to hers. Emily lifted her face. Soon they were both looking into each other's eyes once again. Daniel's unfathomable, golden brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face.His eyes were as deep and expressive, where you could get lost if you stare long enough.
After a moment, Emily started moving her eyes here and there to avoid making further eye contact.
He then heard a knock at the door and hurriedly looked away from her.
"Wait outside!".
He went into his wardrobe and came back wearing a sky blue colored sweatshirt. The maid came in with hot soup and clothes for Emily.
"I'm fine. You can take these things back " she said softly
."Are you saying that you are going to spend the whole night here in these clothes?"
Emily looked at him in surprise.
" Who said I'm going to stay here the whole night huh! ? "
Daniel smirked.
" Then why did you come here with me in the first place? I know you don't want to go back wherever you live and I am not interested to know either. If you want to go. You can. And if not then spend a night here and go back tomorrow. I won't eat you."
Emily didn't want to be alone. She wanted someone to be with her. But she didn't want to spend the night at a man's house either.
She sighed and took those clothes.
"I want to change here. Can you go out please?" Daniel smiled and it reached up to his eyes and wrinkled them.
"No,what if you steal anything from here?No, not at all. Can't trust a girl. How about I just close my eyes? I won't open until you get changed"
Emily got annoyed. Her eyebrows lowered and pulled close together.
"Did you just get angry at me?Do you want to punch my handsome face again huh?.. Ok fine I'll turn my back for you. How's that?"
Daniel turned his back on Emily facing the window.
"You just got one minute to change. After one minute I'll turn my face to you even if you... " While Emily was busy changing her clothes, Daniel started the countdown.
"5...4...3…2...1.. What? Are you done already?"
He turned around and saw her blushing a little.
He smirked and grabbed a glass of water from a side table.
He took the glass and was just about to go out.
"What's your name?"
Emily asked from behind him
They both introduced each other.
"I.. Sincerely apologize for the other day. Actually I'm going through a lot these days so…"
She didn't complete her sentence when Daniel's phone rang. He picked up his phone and went outside. While Emily was alone in his room, she looked at luxurious paintings on the wall. A photo frame on a side table caught her attention. It showed a little boy and a broad chested man holding him up. Door opened and Daniel got in.
"I have an urgent meeting. You can sleep now if you want. Good night!"
