EPISODE 5

BACK TO THE STORY

----------------------------------

For a man like Dylan,feelings were always dangerous.

For a woman like Serena, feelings is the only thing which she's yearning for.

Can the LOVE between them will be the solution for this?

[the night soon arrived, Serena was in her bed watching the note given by Dylan. She confused, confused why Dylan has to give her the note which contains his phone number.]

SERENA'S POV:-

I have been watching this note for an hour. My fingers were unknowingly tracing the name, which has been engraved in black bold letters - DYLAN....Dylan Rhode. The man who had been nothing more than a distant, cold and like a ice mountain during the merger.

I was confused and couldn't shake the way he looked at me earlier, or how he subtly stopped me from approaching him. I understood the fact that, many eyes could've been watching him. But the eye contact and the flowers left my heart racing along with my mind spinning.

"Why me?", a question rang in my head continuously. And yet, beneath the confusion, a small part of me was curious. Perhaps too curious for my own good. I placed that note on the table, reaching out to my phone in hesitation. I was battling among myself whether I should message him or not. But for my surprise...A message popped up in my phone.

My pulse quickened at the moment seeing the message...It was from him. From the man who had given me the flowers- Dylan Rhode. All out of a sudden my lips became dry, my hands started to tremble a bit due to the nervousness. The message stated,

                                                "Miss. Brooks, I apologize for my sudden action of today. I simply couldn't leave without at least opening the door for a conversation. If you're comfortable, I'd like to speak with you- Dylan"

I stared at the message, reading it over and over again. My heart was pounding so loudly as if the whole room could hear it. "I apologize for my sudden action today", reading this sentence I bit my lower lip unconsciously. Why was he apologizing and....Why was I smiling?.

I placed my phone down for a minute forcing myself to breathe.

"Do not overthink Serena. He's just being polite. Just....just business.", but my heart clearly disagreed.

I started to type, A reply message to Mr. Rhode as my fingers were trembling slightly. After typing the message, I rested my thumb on the send button for a moment too long in a dilemma to send the message or not. Should I send it?, Would it make me seem to eager? Too cold or attitude if I don't send it?. After releasing a sigh, I sent the message stating,

           "Good evening Mr. Rhodes. I received your message. We can talk whenever convenient.- Serena"

My mind screamed a thousand times. I placed my phone face down on the table, I walked away to fetch some water to calm my mind and my heart. I was thinking what in the world he has to talk with me, and what could be his reaction now?

                                           END OF SERENA'S POV

DYLAN'S POV:-

I was in my room, nervous and heart racing as I sent the message to her. To be honest, I lost my calm and sent her the message as I didn't receive her message first. I kept my phone beside me and laid in my bed with my hands covered my eyes. I was smiling all myself but somehow nervous for her reply. "What if she didn't reply?", "What if she didn't like to speak?", my mind echoed all these thoughts making my brain occupied for a minute but it all soon cleared up when I heard my phone ting. I saw my phone and it was a message, message from her.

The moment her name flashed on my screen, my entire composure cracked for a second. As expected, a simple, polite and professional message. Yet, I couldn't help but notice the softness in that message.

I exhaled, realizing only then how long I had been holding my breath. For someone known keeping a calm, unreadable face in the boardroom, I felt ridiculously out of control right now like a fool smiling in love. But somehow my internal happiness was shattered by my internal reminders that quietened my happiness brewing inside me. I finally had her attention....maybe a little on me. Now, I just had to make sure I didn't ruin it.

                                             END OF DYLAN'S POV

[Two of them were smiling, nervous and hestitating in each other's residential. Serena had just encountered the presence of Dylan, and Dylan was a fool in love with her and made his first move in his love life. Will they be each other's comfort and love, when they find their feelings for each other. Let's wait and watch..(hehehe)]
