Chap 21RYLAN'S POVDylan and I left the house early so we wouldn't spend the night on the road. A strong wind was hitting my face as I looked out the window of the car we were riding in. The scenery and places we were passing through were beautiful."Ry, go to sleep first, we still have a long journey.""How about you Dylan?" I asked him back, knowing he would be tired from the long drive."I'm fine. Do you want me to sleep too? Who's going to drive?" he will tease me even more.'I can't, Dylan. Your hopeless' I just shook my head because of what he said.After a few hours of sleep I woke up to a soft pat on my cheek and something soft still touching it."Ry, wake up.""Dylan, where are we?" I yawned before facing him properly."Still here in the car."I just frowned at him. Didn't he want to answer seriously? I would have ignored him if he hadn't offered me lunch. Because we had a packed lunch that I cooked before leaving, we had no problem even if there was no restaurant on our way

Chap 23RYLAN'S POVI WAKE UP because of a heavy arm hugging me. It's also very cold here, so instead of leaving the bed right away, I managed to squeeze myself closer to Dylan, because he's warm."Hmm," he muttered as he hugged me even tighter.Because he was behind me, I could feel his warm body enveloping me. I was about to close my eyes to sleep again when I saw the clock on the side table of the bed, it was noon. It was cold and dark so I thought it was still early. It was 9:30 am so even though I wanted to sleep I forced myself out of that very comfortable position.I fixed Dylan's blanket before I went to the bathroom to take a shower. We still have a lot of plans to go to today so I have to prepare myself for the fatigue I will experience. I'm sure Dylan and I will face many long walks and sights seeing. It's tiring, but it can't match the happiness I feel.I came out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe because I forgot to prepare a change of clothes. I was sitting on the

Chap 25RYLAN POVThe next few days in my life went well, the nervousness and fear in my chest disappeared. I also got closer to my new friends, Lily and Leo.Lily is a bit stubborn, but also very kind and her mother, auntie Mimi. By the way, since Dylan met Lily, he allowed me to come and visit their house, Dylan said that Lily seems to be nice and above all, my friend Gab is her sister, so it's okay if I go to them when I'm bored at home.What's even better is that we have the same passion as Lily, we are happy when we can bake together. That's why when I told him that I make desserts, she didn't stop nagging me about it, she said she wanted to taste my dessert so bad, so I'm here in front of their house and ringing the doorbell, I also brought a paperbag with Tupperware inside."Cutiee! I'm sorry I'm late," said Lily in a hurry, while opening the gate of their house."It's okay Lily.""Come on, sit on the sofa first," She said when we entered their house and reached the living room

Chap 27RYLAN POV'Sigh', it's been a week since the incident about Leo abducting me happened. Dylan even surpassed PSG because of the surveillance that was being done on me. 24/7 that he is attached to me, even when I take a shower he is waiting patiently at the bathroom door. He also took a week off from work since that incident occurred.Life goes on even though there are many trials we face everyday. I still remember what happened that night. After they got Leo in the ambulance, they took us to the police station so they could take a statement because of the kidnapping.There I narrated everything that happened. They asked me if we were going to file a case, but I refused. Dylan even got angry because he said he couldn't forgive Leo for what he did. But I told them that it didn't hurt me and that I think he's going through a lot.When we left the police station and entered Dylan's car, he never let go of me in his arms, I just let him do what he wants because I know he was worried

RYLAN'S POV"Dylan, should we head straight to the supermarket?" I asked him as we exited the church.It's Sunday again, and it's been days since Lily and I discussed my help for Gab's birthday party. They've already given me the ingredients.Now, I'm wondering what design I should make for Gab's cake. I can't help but sigh because I still haven't come up with an idea.Only three days left until Gab's birthday, so I need to start making the desserts for his party. Dylan has a freezer at home, so I'll just put them there, and they'll be ready by Gab's birthday. The last thing I'll do is the cake.As we walked back to the parking lot, memories of Lily and Brandon bringing the ingredients to the house came flooding back. One afternoon, I suddenly heard the doorbell.Peeking outside the gate, I saw Lily and Brandon."Oh, it's you guys. Thank you, even though it's embarrassing, you went grocery shopping and even brought it here," I said."Don't mention it, Cutie. Thank you so much for agre
