Episode 4

CHAPTER

7

CHRISTINA

I pack my suitcase with all the necessities I needed

for the trip. I keep my mom’s letter safely in my purse. For my clothing I

decide to go casual with a floral dress, camel lofers and sunglasses. At

quarter to eight Stephen arrives at my house and I ask the butler to escort him

in.

My breath hitched as I saw him. There was no doubt that

god had spent the most of his time carving this being. I thing I was sure of

was no human could look as good as him. He was wearing camel shorts , a light

blue shirt and his hair were still damp from a shower. But, the most alarming

feature was his beautiful grey eyes. Damn his eyes!

“Woah ! so you live in this huge villa alone ?” he asks

clearly amazed.

“ Ummm…. No I still have the servants working here.” I

stated in an obvious tone.

“You know it is not safe for a young, beautiful girl

like you to live in such a big mansion.” He says sternly.

“What are you? My dad.” I remark sarcastically.

“All I am saying is….” He starts.

“Oh! I know what you are saying and will consider it

now can we please get going.” I say getting agitated.

“ Not before I meet your parents.” He fires back. I

heave a sigh and ask him to follow me. As he silently prays, I decide to

request something myself.

‘Hey mom and dad. Just as you had wrote I would be

going to meet your friends and this young man here me in my hard times and in

the small frame of time we have spent together I think I fell for him. Wherever

I am I always hope to at least get a glimpse of his face. But I’m too scared to

express my feelings as he’s all I’ve got and I don’t want to ruin our

friendship with my silly fairytale dreams. So could you please help me out just

this once.’

I open my eyes which meet a pair of grey eyes staring

at me. I can’t help but blush. Stephen steps forward and takes my hand. ‘Get

him girl!’ my inner goddess speaks.

“Are you ready to go ?” he asks. All I manage is a nod.

“For the hundredth time Stephen you will get to   know when we reach there.” I say frustrated.

“My parents can be a handful you know.” He warns

me again.

“I. Know.” I say rolling my eyes.

“But….” He starts.

“No more bickering Stephen.” I say in the most calm

way I could manage. He finally decides to shut up.

“So could you tell me about your family.” I say quickly changing the topic.

“ Well I have a younger sister who is actually

Overseas and is living with my grandparents. My

mother is a very strict person and let me warn you

she rarely smiles. But, my dad is the

exact opposite. He’s really outgoing.” He

explains. “ People say I take after him while my

sister is like my mother.” He adds with a smirk.

After sometime we pull up in front of a petrol pump.

“I’m gonna fill so gas. Why don’t you go check out the

Store?” he asks. I nod and head towards the store.

Out of the blue, I start feeling nauseous and duck for

the bushes as my breakfast comes up. “Oh

Christina!” Stephen says as he pulls my hair away

from my face. He hands me a bottle and looks at me

with written all across his face. He steps forward and

places his cool hand on my forehand. I manage to

relax a little at his touch. “ You have a fever my dear

friend. I’ll go to the convenience store and get some

medicine for you.” He says.

Before I could even reply back, he lifts me up in his

arms and carries me to the car. I am too shocked

to object him.  He asks me to stay put and goes to get

the medicine. As I look at his back I realize it’s too

late, I’ve already fallen for him.

We stop at a hotel for the night cause  ‘Stephen was

tired’ a reason I found hardtop believe. He checks

into the Presidential Suite and when I deny sharing

the same room gives me a threatening expression.

“ I’ll sleep on the sofa and you sleep in the bed.”

“ No. Way.” I deny.

“ What do you mean?” he asks clearly puzzled.

“ I’m not letting you suffer because of me so either

you sleep in the bed as well or I’m out.” I say in a

serious tone to which he replies with a sigh.

“There is no winning from you is there .” he says.

We partition the bed with a bunch of pillows. “ Good

Night Stephen.”  “ Sweet Dreams Christina.” He

whispers back.
