Chapter 343 One Soul And Body

 Nora's point of view……

   Ben has been driving for about fifteen minutes and I don't think we were ever getting closer to our destination, not that I know where he is taking me to.

   I was restless because I had no clue where we are going.

   He occasionally glanced at me and I would smile in return.

We left the highway and he took a right turn. The road was so narrow but well concreted. It was kind of lonely and my curiosity rose from 100 to 1000.

  "Ben, where are we going?"

"You will see darling, you just chill okay?"

   I had no choice but to take a chill.

Well, since I didn't know where we are going or where he's taking me. I wouldn't want to miss the beautiful view of the road leading to the place that he is taking me to. Meh! I could not explain it. It's like..I don't even know how to say it… I mean like the pathway looks like a way to... to... to..forget it, I don't know how to describe it. I am lost as I am trying to describe the whole thing but I bet you, it's.. it's.. beautiful.

   Finally I saw a view of a beautiful house in a desert, so all alone Ben was taking me to a desert, a house in a desert or should I say a home in a desert. 

   I was in awe.

"This is my glass house, I built it when I turned 20 years old so literally I have been having this building for ten good years now"

Ben said. In fact, I did not need to ask him why he had to say glass house because every material used is made of glass, ranging from the roof to the door floor. The gate and the fence was glass, not just glass but transparent glass. It's see through glass, that's for the fence and the gate. All these I saw was from afar, when we get into the place, I will see if I can tell more.

   When our car approached the gate, it opened and it dawned on me that it's automatic.

   He stopped and killed the engine and took my hands in his and kissed my knuckles. There was so much love in his eyes and I know for sure, definitely, with my life, that the love in his eyes is for me.

    Our lips might lie, our body languages might hide but our eyes will never lie or hide, they are windows to our souls.

    "So my darling, welcome to my hideout. You are the only first person I am bringing to this place, my dad and mum had seen a picture but have not been here. Here, is my get-away from the world. When I feel work is too much for me, I come here to relax. I would have taken you on a trip of five days but we can always return.

    if not that you have had tonight booked, I would say we are staying over but I don't want to hurt your feelings so after your grace your neighbor's party.

   Our next coming, we will plan it. we stay away from the world, from activities and whatever that will disturb us. it will just be you and me.

 So my darling, welcome once again to our glass house"

It was like a welcome speech and I felt honoured that he had to consider me. I guess we can always come back like he said and it's ours because what is his is mine and what is mine is his. We are one soul and body.

   "I love you Benjamin."

I said, staring deep into his eyes.

"I love you too, my precious."

   He kissed my knuckles and let go.

"Now let's go see what I have for you."

I was out of the car before he finished what he was saying, I heard the faint of his last words. He got down quickly and walked over to my side and as he got to me, I picked a race not knowing how long I was going to run and he chased me. 

  That moment I felt like a teenager in love, I felt anew, refreshed, new energy came upon me and the world,I could conquer it. 

   I spread my hands while I ran, the breeze was doing Justice to my face and the atmosphere calmed my soul. My whole world felt like it was complete. Yeah, it is complete because I have the only person that matters most to me, in this small world of mine, it is only Ben who matters most.   

    Memories of that night came rushing in my mind. I am surprised that I remember everything now. You know, if you existed before you will have the feeling. A witch who existed before will remember the memories of his or her past life but I haven't been able to remember mine and I have wondered why.
