Aaron opened his eyes when he felt Elizabeth's long breathe, he waited ten to fifteen minutes for her to fall asleep while she was in his embrace. Elizabeth was tired due to lack of sleep and the reasons were, the things that took place since the past few days. First, her company was on urge to get shut down. The second reason was Aaron's marriage proposal and the third, was the curiosity to know what made Aaron leave her and come back to her. Her mind has been filled with numerous thoughts trying to solve the puzzles in her life, until a while ago. But now, the girl slept peacefully in his arms being carefree as if she was not bothered about anything as long as he was beside her. Aaron continued to stare at his wife who slept in his embrace, he didn't even know how and when did the minutes has turned down to hours until his phone's alarm started to ring continuously, to turn off the alarm, he stretched one of his hand to reach his phone which laid under the pillow. He quickly looked at Elizabeth who was in deep sleep and heaved a sigh of relief to see that her sleep was not disturbed. He then slowly removed his hand that locked her to him and got down from the bed after covering her with a blanket properly. He went to the corridor and sat on the chair, leaning back to it. If a person saw him at this moment, it would have been hard for that person to guess what was running on his mind at early dawn. The man has always been good at not revealing his emotions to the people and keep his words short as much as possible. Not even the girl whom he loved can understand what he thinks but she understands him much better when compared to other people who know him.
When Elizabeth woke up from her sleep she found the bed to be empty. When the scene from the previous night flashed on her mind, she couldn't help herself from getting embarrassed. Even though he hugged her many times when they were in relation, previous night was the first time he ever held her in his arms in that way, she has no idea for how long he held her but she surely knew that she had a good sleep after many days. When the clock struck ten in the morning, Elizabeth got down from her bed to take shower thinking that her husband must've left by now. She came down to have her breakfast and to her surprise, she saw Aaron talking to his assistant, Luke. Aaron's assistant bowed a little to greet Elizabeth while she was descending the stairs and she smiled back at him.
"You leave first," She heard Aaron talk while handing over a file to his assistant. She wondered why he told his assistant to leave first, was he also not going to office, she thought but looking at him dressed formally, she shoved her thoughts away and headed towards the dinning room.
"Are you fine?" she heard him ask her to which she looked at him and nodded instead of answering in words as she was eating by the tune Aaron has asked her. "I will come home around eight in the evening to pick you up, be ready," Elizabeth heard him say . "Where are we going?" out of curiosity, she swallowed the food she was chewing to ask him, "For dinner," Aaron's answer led her curiosity to increase than it did before. She was curious to know with whom they were having dinner. Was he taking her to his clients or was he taking her to meet his family members. "His family," She concluded in her mind and looked at him.
"You don't have to worry about that person," he said to her about the person who struck her mind. Elizabeth could only nod to his words but her eyes couldn't hide that she was worried." I'll be there with you," he assured her. Somehow his words comforted her and gave her confidence to face his family members. Elizabeth was aware of Aaron's family even though she never met them in person. Since Aaron and his relatives are famous, they were always on limelight and Elizabeth knew each and every person who belonged to his family.
"Give me your phone," he said to her but sounded more like he was commanding her to give her phone to him. Instead of asking any other questions to him, Elizabeth unlocked her phone and gave it to him.
"I'm saving my number in your phone, If you need anything, text me or call me," he said and returned the phone to her . Aaron didn't wait to continue the conversation but left as soon as he received a call. After Aaron left, Elizabeth checked her phone and choked when she read the name he saved in his phone. " Darling?! " she said in mixed emotions of shock and surprise. "What is this man up to?" she scratched her head and leaned back to the chair looking at the name. Her pursed lips slowly turned into a smile when she repeated the word, darling.
Roseline was in the class, Claire and Sarah were talking to each other but the girl's mind was somewhere else. "Did you really go out with him yesterday?" she heard Sarah questioning her in a serious tone. Roseline got back to her senses and replied with a question, "Yes. Why?"
"Didn't I tell you that there's something going on between them," Claire laughed. Roseline noticed Sarah glaring at them and denied, "There's nothing going on between us. We are now relatives and yesterday he took me to my sister's house."
"Oh, that's it?" Claire tried to get more answers but Roseline only nodded to her instead of telling her the truth.
After the class has begun, everybody sat in their respective seats. While the class was going on, Roseline tried to look to her left side where Ryan was seated but to her surprise he was already looking at her, he then winked to see her eyes widen in shock. She immediately shifted her gaze to the board and didn't dare to look at him again. During lunch hour, the three girls were taking a stroll after having their lunch."Look!! Ryan is here!" Claire pointed her index finger towards their class door, Roseline instantly turned to another side to cover her face until she heard Claire's laugh and closed her eyes when she realised that she got fooled by her friend.
"So.... Do you have anything to say now Roseline Carter ?" Claire laughed. Roseline didn't know how to respond to her question. Ryan didn't propose Roseline but his words made her feel that Ryan have feelings for her too just like she have on him. Roseline didn't want to tell her friends about the things that happened between Ryan and her until she confessed her feelings to him too, she wanted Ryan to be the first person to know about the way she feels for him.
"I don't," she replied.
"You don't... what? Roseline, answer properly," Sarah demanded for an answer.
"I didn't want look at that guy's face , are you guys happy now?" Roseline blurted out but Sarah doubted at Rosleine's response. As Roseline was about to leave, she gasped in horror when she caught the sight of Ryan standing in front of her in shock.
