Elanie's pov
We stay silent for a while before he start the conversation " Hmmmm I just wanna say sorry for what I make you feel last time. I really didn't mean to scare you. I know I come to your life suddenly but what I say to you about how I feel is real " He said . This man really does say things straightforwardly that is not quite healthy for my becoming overly sensitive slash dramatic heart.
"No! I mean I'm the one who needs to apologize for my reaction that time it really is a shock to me and it's true that it kinda scared me" I laugh nervously trying to make myself at ease on speaking my mind to him. Being honest is important to have a clear conversation after all.
" I really do want us to work it out. I maybe am the CEO of a big company but I am just me . Randall Colleens . We will take this in your pace not mine. Let me show you who I am as I want to know you " He said gently as he give me a glance before focusing back to the road.
" The truth is that really is the first reason why I'm scared we're leaving in a different world" I cringed as I softly said that. Idiot Elanie here you go again . Honestly speaking here oh come on at least choose light words for the situation . Now I'm mentally fighting my own thoughts.
" I don't know if this can help you feel better but I just want you to know that in reality status really doesn't matter to me . The only thing that matter is what I feel and what you feel . Money can only give us material needs and wants but not real happiness " He said .
When the word happiness left his mouth he turns to look at me as I look at him in awe . That kinda touch my heart how couldn't it be what he said does really make all the sense after all and I can't say his wrong at all .
" That really makes me feel better. Thank you" I said looking straight ahead on the road while letting myself smile like an idiot. So this is how it feels like to like someone? its not bad at all but it does really gives me a bit fear . Fear from the thought of falling hard then waking up from this wonderful dream . Enough Elanie you're thinking isn't going the right way again.
Go with the flow right? facing and accepting what is in front of me to live what is in the present and to let yourself go with what you feel. I inwardly sight on my self thoughts.
Every now and then the question that keeps on appearing on my mind is that " Will this end?" If you're on my shoes right now you'll know how it feels . I'll just enjoy things until it lasts. I'll be brave for myself and for this chance that We're making for the both of us.
" You know the only thing change in you is that you've become prettier and free now" He suddenly said which confuse me.
" Hey that sound like you know for years already " I laughingly tease him .
...
Randall's pov .
Oh no I shouldn't have said that I thought to myself before I can realize It already left my mouth luckily she take it as a joke.
I nervously laugh and tried to keep my voice normally before saying " Yeah right you know that's how I feel ever since the day I first meet you in the café " . I tighten my grip on the wheel while I give her a short glance to see her smiling face on the road.
" But you know I really don't know how I got your attention when I'm just..." I frown on her tone and before she can say more I said " It's the way how you are working that get my attention along with the sudden pull I feel towards you" I said telling random facts to lessen her doubts towards herself. She really doesn't know how wonderful she is.
" That.. I Thank you?" She said again and I know she's blushing to that which really makes me feel good inside .
" You really need to learn how to accept compliments " I tease and laugh at her . She always end up answering complements in question form doubting if she deserves to have positive feedback all the time.
" I'm sorry I mean It's just that I really don't know if I'm supposed to be praised of my actions I mean I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. " She rumbles trying to explain herself. Elanie, Elanie my dear Elanie I can't help but shake my head and smile at her response .
Most people really doesn't know how good they are if nobody tells them how amazing they are .
As we arrive in front of her home I saw her dads car which I know for a fact is a police officer even if I'm someone who has high status I can't help but feel nervous when the thought of meeting the father of the one I love is a possibility in front of me. Business deals are far easier than that you know.
" Hmmm I , This, My dad may or may not come out now and point a gun in your head Mr. CEO" She said looking at me seriously which makes me sweat a bit and gulp from the thought of it.
" At least he wont pull the trigger , right?" I ask awkwardly trying to comfort myself while pretending that It's nothing for me. I do have bodyguards sometimes for a reason you know.
" That sorry but I'm not sure" She said and give me a sympathetic nervous smile. That really is something I should feel not good at all but if that's what it takes to give us a chance then a gun won't stop me at all. I do believe I can make a deal with her dad after all. Or so I hope I would have.
She opens the door and comes out first and I followed soon keeping myself stand tall beside her towards their closed door.
She knocks at the door and call for her dad.
" Dad Open up please" She said I make a count in my head and soon enough a click sound can be heard from the knob of the door and I prepared myself to face the man who is called dad by my beloved.
I'm kinda being cliche right now but who cares on the file I gather from Elanie's Information is that she only lives with his dad no info about her mom even if I ask for more details for some reason I always end up having the same results no more than that thought its a bit suspicious the man's background is not bad and nothing else is suspicious other than the lost info about her mom So I just leave it like that.
As the door opens a good looking man whom looks younger than fifty appears with a smile and said" Why did you..." Before he can continue his smiling face turns serious that makes me gulp. Here it is meeting the great father goodluck indeed I think I do need that.
