She is what is special

I closed my eyes momentarily before opening again and smiling.

Melissa raised a brow, seeing how Nadia was actually smiling instead of feeling little.

"Good for you, at least... you get the chance to brag about wine glasses".

I said. I knew my word might not have much effect on her but at the same time, I couldn't let her have the last word.

Melissa stood up pretty gently and picked up her bag. She then looked at Nadia and said.

"You'll only make his life miserable. You can never be good enough so just stay away from him now that I'm asking nicely".

She said and walked out. Deep down, I was pretty glad that she had finally left. I wasn't sure how long I could hold on for and it made me feel like I was actually as inferior as she said.

I didn't want to admit it, but most of her words made me feel like I was trying to be what I was not. It made me feel like I'd never fit into this rich life and high class. It was pretty scary because no matter what anyone says, I know for a fact that I do want to be rich.

I took the glass of water that was on my table and gulped it down my throat.

Soon enough, I was back in the hospital. All that talk with Melissa had drained me, both mentally and physically.

With my head down, and stress mixed with a little bit of worry written all over my face, I opened the door to Grandpa's room.

"I'm here grand..."

I could not finish my statement as I raised my head and saw Jason.

'Is this a dream'?

I asked myself but then, I heard him speak

"Hey".

He said and without thinking, I ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

I had hugged before I came back to my senses and freed myself from his grip.

"Uhm... I didn't know you'd be here".

I said looking anywhere else but at him.

Jason smiled at how cute she looked. He could not hide the fact that he had fallen in love with this woman and every time he saw her, he fell even more.

"Did you miss me"?

She asked but I said nothing and just remained stiff. I was very sure my face was beet red right now.

Jason noticed that Nadia's face was flushed and decided to take advantage of it and tease her a little more.

He pulled her closer to him by her waist and they were almost completely touching each other.

"You are not going to say anything"?

Right now, Nadia was looking at him. Jason didn't know he had it in him to tease a lady but when it came to Nadia, he found himself doing it so naturally.

"Why... why are you asking me that"?

I asked not knowing what to say. I wanted to say I missed him because I actually did but at the same time, I didn't want to make him see me looking more vulnerable than I already am whenever I am with him.

"So you did not miss me"?

He said.

"I never said that!!"

I said without thinking and yet, once again he caught me.

Nadia had her head down as she bit a part of her lower lips so she didn't see the smile that was written all over Jason's face.

"I missed you too".

He said and pulled her closer. He wasn't sure if she was okay with how close he was trying to get with her, but he was ready to give it a try.

He pulled me closer as if we weren't already close enough. Not that I was complaining, but, my heart was beating too fast yet, I didn't want to move away.

"Can I... kiss you"?

He asked and it felt like my heart finally stopped completely. Deep down, I was saying 'just do it, why are you even asking'. But in reality, I couldn't say a word.

He didn't wait for her response before he bent and placed his lips on hers. Holding her by the waist, he used his kisses to show her just how much he had actually missed her.

His kiss was gentle and soft. His thin soft lips felt like lemon in my mouth. It was so sweet, yet sour. It felt like a sharp feel of sensation went down my spine whenever he tried to delve deeper and deep within me, I didn't want him to stop.

It was when we heard the door of the room open that we finally came back to our senses. I pushed him away and turned towards the door.

I could not believe we were actually kissing in Grandpa's hospital room.

Grandpa walked right in as though he had not seen anything. I don't know if he saw us or not but I hope he didn't.

"It is weird for you to be the first to arrive. You arrived first the last time too, what is going on? Do you think I'll die? Or... are you this early because of someone else"?

Grandpa asked the last question as he diverted his attention to me, making me smile awkwardly.

"What do you mean Grandpa? Of course I'm here to see you... and someone else".

Jason replied and looked at me as well. I opened my eyes wide as I was not expecting him to say that. I looked away out of embarrassment and I heard Grandpa laugh.

"Waaa!!! Nadia, you are definitely something else. How you got this cold and boring young man to act like this is still surprising".

Grandpa said and I smiled. Even I don't know how he got to like me. I know he isn't doing all this because of the deal we had but I couldn't place my head on the reason why he'd choose me out of all the other options he has. He even has the daughter of a prime minister.

"She doesn't have to do anything special for me to love her. She is what is special".
