EPHEMERAL; A LOVE STORY

"Place the food on the table," Dave commanded while looking at the outside scenario. He thought it was a maid who brought the food, not knowing it was Nora. He took out a cigarette and lit it.

Nora placed the tray on the small table in between the cushion and bed. She strolled towards Dave and took the cigarette away from his hand.

Dave's eyes darkened. He was surprised it was Nora, not a maid who brought his food. He said to Nora, "How dare you?"

Nora coughed lightly. She took the cigarette away from her nose. She retorted, "Smoking is harmful to your health" cough

"I won't." Nora disagreed stubbornly. She placed the cigarette on a cigarette receptacle. "Come and eat. You had a long flight." She said softly.

Dave ignored her and strolled to his bathroom angrily. He slammed the door loudly. Nora didn't mind. She believed he went to the bathroom to have his comfort. 'Or is it because she collected the cigarette from him. That is childish' she thought.

Looking at the bathroom door, she said loudly, "Come out quickly. Your food will get cold. Anyway, there is a microwave to warm the food." She concluded. While roaming around in his room, She was looking at the structure and decoration of the room. Though she has been there, it's been a long time. "Nothing has changed; they took great care of his room." She said strolling her fingers around the walk. Dave's room is painted black and grey color, making it look calm and simple when seen.

Dave looked at the mirror angrily. He was in a deep thought.

'This girl has pestered me for 12 years. I left this country because of her; let's say one of the reasons. Here she comes again, I better continue to ignore her.'

He removed his clothes to take a bath, he was hoping Nora would have left. He came out of the bathroom wearing a nightdress. He looked at Nora speechless. 'She hasn't left.' Nora's eyes roamed flirty at his body. 'Nice body.' she chuckled lightly.

Dave decided to ignore her. He wanted to open the door to leave his room, but he heard a voice, making him stop and look at Nora with a questioning face.

Seeing him ignoring her, Nora snapped out of her nasty thought, "Stop right there." She shouted. He didn't stop, so Nora ran to stop him. She stayed at his front.

Looking at Nora's height, She is known to be tall for females, but standing at Dave's front, she is considered short. Dave is 1.88 ft tall while Nora is 1.7 ft tall. Her height could be measured at Dave's shoulder.

Dave's eyes swiftly darkened. 'Can't she see I ignored her?'

"You can't leave without eating. In a jiffy, I went to warm your food when you didn't come out early." Dave's eyes were full of surprise. He accepted she was so attentive, though she was shameless. He instantly made a composure of himself. It was just like a blink of an eye, so Nora didn't notice. His eyes, full of surprises were filled with coldness.

Seeing his face and aura becoming more cold. Nora thought, 'Did I say something wrong?' Nora sighed and said "Calm down. This cold aura won't affect me. I'm used to it. Also, I will keep pestering you. I have pestered you for 12 years. I can't just stop without achieving my goal. I won't stop, until, You are mine." Nora said domineering.

Dave stared at her speechlessly. He wanted to nod helplessly-I know right, but he had to maintain his cold attitude.

Nora continued, "I know you are warm towards your family. I don't need you to be warm towards me. As I said before I'm used to it. Just consider dating me. Or let's marry. Please, Davvy." She cupped her hands, looking at him cutely. Her eyes blinked with a pouting face; She was begging him to say Yes.
