At 7:30 p.m.
"Let's relieve you tonight. Clubbing is the best idea."Carlos said and dragged me to her car.We reached there and found Arthur, waiting for us. Yes, Carlos invited him to groove tonight. I chuckled at him and we went inside."Okay...now we can get a couple of shots," Carlos said while laughing.Scarlett Miller's POVPain, this was what his eyes were holding. My heart was grown so familiar with the pain of his life. If pain was love, then I loved fiercely.I knew one thing, I couldn't escape him, now or ever. He had always been there, consuming my every thought, my heart locked in his hands. I was drawn to him by forces I couldn't control, let alone escape.Even I couldn't tolerate him mentioning the women of his past.
Eric James Winslet's POV"Eric, let's move." A voice snapped and I tightened the hug more.The same words, same. I smiled while closing my eyes and pulled her closer."Eric" again she said."Two more minutes Natalie" and I opened my eyes just to say, "I mean..."
Scarlett Miller's POVI felt breathless and kind of wild, stretching out on the tiny area of the sofa, available next to him, and then smothered a yelp as he picked me up and draped me over his chest, and oh! My God, overall the rest of him too."Better?" He asked and raised his eyebrows. It was a real question and he was looking for a real answer.I was sitting up in his lap. I wanted to hug him and at the same time, I kind of wanted to slap him.
Scarlett Miller's POVI cleared everything, I had forgiven but I haven't forgotten. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't realize when Eric stood up.I heard a cell phone ringing beneath my hand, it was not mine but Eric.I ignored it but it started ringing again.I took it and without listening to me the man on the other side spoke," Sir, among both of William Anderson's daughters, on whose name we should...." Before he could complete Eric snatched his cell phone away and cut it."Both...?" I still couldn't comprehend those words.
Scarlett Miller's POVHe went to an ice cream vendor and came back with cinnamon, creme fraiche, and Damson plum.He forwarded some ice cream cones and cups to me. But I couldn't take that at least after what happened a few minutes back.He sat in front of me, played with the ice cream before raising a spoonful to his mouth.I watched him licking it before he wrapped his lips around the spoon, closing his eyelids and savoring the flavor on his tongue.
Scarlett Miller's POV"I am observing you and learning the principle of your activity," I whispered in his embrace."Do you know what you are blabbering about?" He asked me.To be honest, I wasn't aware of all the things I was saying. I was tired, but my mind was heavy with everything that happened in the morning."You have forced me today," I spoke again.
Eric James Winslet's POVI swallowed my breath in my throat, her words were an annual threat. I couldn't afford it again, and after a minute I said,"Natalie is Natalie Anderson. She is your sister, your father's daughter…"Before I could have completed, she spoke: "But not my mother's daughter, not my sister but a step sister.. isn't it?"
Eric James's Winslet POVAfter 20 minutes"See," she said, with an unholy amount of Glee."No offense..but you are going off the road. Off the road. You are going off the road." I screamed.
