"Please.. " the man pleaded once again, holding his breath.
Peace eventually stopped screaming, but her whole body uncontrollably shuddered. She was trapped in between panic and doubt for this unexpected event.She just planned to search for her life companion in a funeral parlor, but this was worst than that. There is an injured man in car right now."I just need to get away, far away from here".the man explained in between his heavy breath."You can go to your original destination, I won't bother you". Fighting to retain his consciousness while speaking with her. He paused, gritting his teeth due to the striking pain on the side of his obdomen."I will leave once you get to your destination, I promise. I just need to go far away from here".he swore, mustering his strength despite his current physical suffering.Peace swallowed a month full of saliva before she slowly nodded her head. It wasn't that she trusted him or anything, but to her if she stalled some more time, the man's strength would decrease.Thus, even if he was tricking her, she could defend herself in other aspects,if he was just acting, peace was confident to defend herself if he happened to let her go. But either ways, trust won't be able to help her in this case."Thank you". Slowly the man loosened the pressure on his hand that was on her lips, revealing half of her face painted with blood.If anyone have seen her now, they would mistake her for as a vampire that just finished having a fresh meal.After waiting for some more time with his hand hanging close to her mouths incase she makes an attempt to scream. He was pleased that she didn't scream or did anything funny for now.She was much more clever than he had expected. Although peace haven't done anything yet, the man still kept his guard high to see if she would try anything silly.Unexpectedly, she didn't take any funny move. Instead, she started her car despite her shaking hands. He could still see them since, some rays of light outside shone down on her."Baby lock the door and turn the lights off", the moment peace started her car engine, her lights automatically turned on shining all over. She would have loved to turn her back and see who was in the car, with her but she was too scared to to that.However, instead of turning off she tdidn't and turned on the music to calm her nerves. Music somehow calms her most if the time. Hence, at a time like this, unless her demands turns off, she wouldn't.After all she needed to clear her head if she wished to survive tonight. Christ, she was really passing through oceans just to fine her Mr. Right."Calm down, self. Inhale and exhale and then breath", peace repeated her mantra inwardly as she slowly drove out of the The parking lot. Fortunately, the man didn't complain and remained silent from the back seat.Only the 2021Hit song from Enisa suffered the car, attempting to lighten up the mood but to no avail. No matter how cute the song was, it failed to completely easy the atmosphere.Perhaps singing along with it to stop her anxious heart. Thus peace, with her shaky flat voice join the song in a whisper. "You've got me stucked in the....Love cycle.Lo lo lo lo love cycle".But how ever because she could continue the man intervened."Please don't sing", with the pains from his wounds he could not bear his ears being in pain at the same time with his arms. "Please" he added again when he saw that she was looking at him like she was not going to stop."Okay" peace said and kept her cool.If it was a normal day, she would have dragged him out of her car and Even kick his dumbass. But this case was definitely different because here she was the hostage. She was at his Mercy, for that she didn't feel any bit of insult.Soon peace reached her first destination for tonight. The man didn't give her a specific address nor did he tell her to take him anywhere.He just remained silent all through the ride, like he was not even there in the first place. Silently suffering there at the passengers back seat. So peace could not think of any other place to go than to continue with I first plan of going to the funeral parlor.Yes, the funeral parlor."We... I am here sir" peace whispered with fear as she informed him that she had gotten to her destination.She didn't dwell on his earlier promise simply because peace never had the habits of believing in people's promise. All she wanted to do was to observe for a while so she could gravitate on her next move.The man slowly opened his one eyes and peeked outside, carefully blinking for a clearer veiw. Moving his face up, his brows slightly creased upon seeing the blinking singage of the establishment,"heavens call funeral home". "Why was she here? Dose she think he was dying? The man was so out of words that he could only stabilize his breath and forced himself to move. By the looks of it, he was abiding by his promise to leave her alone if she took him far away.Regardless if this was her real destination or not. The man was grateful enough for her help."By the way thanks" just as the man reached for the car doors handle. He expressed his sincerity with great efforts."I will surely re....." Behold before he could complete his sentence, his vision shook before it went blur and his head felt lightened.In the next second, blackness was the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness. Since he already unlocked the door and slightly opened it, it caused his body to fall out of the car which made peace scared."Sir?" Glancing at the side mirror. Peace could not see the man's figure outside and also he was not inside the car so where could he be.She took courage and turned to look at what happened at the back seat. Upon seeing the seemingly nice injured guy has collapsed, she got a little bit more scared and quickly unbuckled her seatbelt before rushing out.Peace gasped, covering her mouth with the both of her hands as she thought that the man's landing must have been very painful. Not to mention, his current state was obviously in a bad situation."Sir?" Without any wasting of Time. Peace rushed to him as she helped him back to the seat ."Hey.... Wake up". peace panicked. She never knew she would ever do something like this but she did, she picked up the injured man with strengths that she didn't expect that she had."Oh ... My" peace said out of breath. She buckled her seatbelt the only thought in her head right now was to take him to the nearest hospital for medical assistant. However, for a moment. Time ticked at a funeral pace as, "as the slow motion moment" took place.When peace glanced, set her eyes, and was graced to see his glorious features. His face seems to glimmer, just like when pirates opens up a chest full of golds and it glows. Shining brightly with a choir singing in the background."Groom".Amelia's POV Amelia paced round the small room she shared with Mrs Houston's daughter as though she would leave a hole . " See Amelia , if you continue like this there is a possibility that you will leave a hole on the floor by the time you done". Zoe said in her usual sarcastic manner. Amelia knew what Zoe said was right but she just couldn't help worrying. Okay she isn't a golddigger or something, she truly loves Leo to the extent that even if he had nothing she was really ready to be with him. But for the deity that she really had her hopes on to have given her a false sign like she didn't matter was pissing her off, if when she first asked them for a sign and they didn't give any she would have just stopped all this her daydreaming. "Amelia!!!!!! Are you sure that you are listening to me at all?". Zoe asked just to be sure that she wasn't just making noise, so Amelia on the other side heard her clearly but she had nothing to say because it will always bring same result as usua
Leo's POV Leo took a stare at his watch again, he has absolutely lot count of how many times he has done that since 30 minutes now. He knew pretty well that she was a mannerless being that he shouldn't expect any good from her but he couldn't help but wonder how heartless she could be to keep him waiting this long when she knew he is a very busy person. Not able to wait for her again he stood up from his seat to leave, immediately he raised his head he saw her sitting at her usual spot at the center of the restaurant then he walked over to her table. " For how long have you been here?". He asked trying his very best not to let his anger take over. " I have been here for some couple if minutes now". She replied smiling brightly at him obviously wanting to anger him. " Do you know that you kept me waiting for over an hour? And were you not informed that I already paid for a table for us over there, and would you say you didn't see me when you came in?". He asked pointing at the sea
Amelia's POV Amelia had always had serious issue with her physics teacher, because she couldn't get why someone would ever say that light travels faster than sound. Ok maybe it made sense when the person might have studied it from the " lightening and thunder" perspective. Have you ever considered the reason why people are asked to talk to their relatives in coma ? This just added to her point when she was trying to open her eyes, she could clearly hear all the discussion going on around her , even though her eyes and her brain were having some kind of disagreement. " Please stay still ma'am, you may have a concussion". Said the nurse who was standing beside her checking her vitals. " Did she just called me ma'am?". Amelia thought inwardly, she looked around slowly. This place sure looks like a private ward, or even a VIP ward.What am I doing in an hospital and a VIP ward at that, who in the world had made such mistake of bringing her here? Now how am I supposed to pay for the h
It's been ten days since Peace's first encounter with the man she call Browny, during that time, she will occasionally drop by and check on his health. Because of the ever righteous and immaculate favour, peace was forced to make it has an oath to keep her romantic intensions on hold until he recovers.And to make that possible, peace kept her distance by not going into the hospital room. She will just peek inside and then she will leave.However, this particular day peace didn't hesitate to enter were he was resting as if it was her home. Glancing at the man, he was leaning his back on the beds headboard and had his eyes on her figure.The moment she entered the room and until she dropped herself on the couch not far from the bed, he just kept staring at her without saying anything."Don't worry, I won't eat you today", without looking at him peace could feel his eyes on her so she defended herself."I am not worrying, I am wondering why you are here"
On the top roof of the hospital where the man was admitted, Vincent glazed at the unhealthy foods peace had ordered for. There was a box of pizza, can beers and other snacks. A deletable only for those who weren't conscious of thier health and definitely not a patient like him. Since Vincent Roy could not go outside yet, peace came up with this bright idea of eating out. Out in the cold rooftop of the hospital. Hence, she wheeled him up to the toproof after she stucked those foods and illegal beverages. "Mmm....", Peace chewed the soft dough of pizza as she closed her eyes in bliss. Just by eating she was delighted to the extent that her cheeks flushed. Meanwhile Vincent Roy glazed at the food placed on the toproof railing and then to peace who had her elbows resting on the railing, a slice of half eaten pizza on her right hand, and a can of beer on her left hand. He pursed his lips on a thin lin
Happy birthday to me-Happy birthday to me-Happy birthdayHappy birthdayHappy birthday to me-. Peace sang herself a birthday song while slowly clapping her hand to it's beat.Earlier after their short birthday celebration on the toproof, peace turned to her small bag. From there , from there Vincent watched her reveal a slice of loaf bread that she had bought from the convenience store. Followed by a small candle and a lighter. Now she was singing her self and ear piercing birthday song with the loaf bread as her cake . How pitiful. "Time to wish!!! Hmmmm...", Excited to make a wish, which she was certained would always remaind as a wish. Peace closed her eyes, linked her hands together in front of her, and then pressed her lips into a meek smile. Vincent settled his eyes on this carefree lady. His assumptions that he was entangled with a con never wavered. However, for
So your name is Vincent Roy, hum?". peace muttered as she turned and walked backwards, her eyes on his blank yet still elegant visage. Vincent though been given his clean bills of health, struggled to walk properly. His every steps laced with discretion not to pressure his healing wounds. "Hmmmm", he hummed as a response, his eyes glanced at the inquiring pairs of eyes before him. It has been days since he introduced himself but yet , peace never for once called him by his name. Aside from Browny, she would usually call him'hey', or just"you" . So this was the first time that his name would come out from her lips. "Sounds familiar," peace pressed her lips together as she shrugged her shoulders before pivoting her heels, thereby walking well again. Vincent remained silent as he gazed at her shoulders. "Actually......" Just as he was about to suggest why it had sounded to familiar
"Not bad,eh?". Glancing at the apartment complex, peace nodded."Thank you", Vincent glanced over at the car where peace stood , outside the drivers seat."You want to come inside?". Seeing that she was staring at him, he raised his brows and invited or rather asked. "Come inside? Why?". Peace blinked her eyes many times as she tilted her head to one side. Her response made him pressed his lips together as he didn't expect that. Considering her personality, Vincent was certain that she would have agreed without a second hesitation, yet she didn't. Was this one of her tricks ? Does she want him to insist?. "I might be a little too pushy but still I do know my limits.... sometimes", saying that her lips stretched into a grin. Despite her attraction towards this very dashing man, peace couldn't just enter a man's place, especially if she didn't truly know the man yet. After
