"I was waiting for a cab outside the agency but I failed to find one then I decided to be walking till I find one. Thank you so much for your help. What were you doing here?" "I was coming from Golden times. I had an interview and on my way out I saw them bullying you. Listen, you should stop leaving work this late it's not good. You're a woman," he said and Bella's heart was warmed by his words. She took a mental note to stop leaving work late simply because Ethan said it was bad. "But please let's find a pharmacy and they dress your wound," she pleaded and he decided to comply because it seemed like she won't relax.
He parked on the road side and they headed to a pharmacy. He was taken inside to dress his wound and Bella somehow relaxed. She was waiting when she received a call from Luna," Bella where are you? It's ten already." "You won't believe what happened but don't worry I'm fine. Will tell you when I reach home." Then she hang up and Ethan came back. "Are you okay?" she asked Immediately. "Of course. It was just a simple dressing," he said and they proceeded to her home. When they reached she said," Once again thank you so much for your help. But you got injured in the process. How are you going to handle it?" "No need to thank me because anyone in my shoes would have done the same. And like I said, this is nothing. It's not even that deep. You shouldn't worry about me." "Okay if you say so. Ain't you coming in?" asked Bella.
She didn't want to depart away from him. "No it's late. Maybe some other time." "Okay. So, does it mean we are now friends?" asked Bella. "It's fine. We are friends," he said. "So it means I can call you Ethan and you can call me Bella, right?" "Of course." "Okay Ethan have a good night. And in case you have difficulties in doing anything please don't hesitate to call me," said Bella. "Okay Bella. I will remember it," with that Bella got out and he left. A wide grin formed on her lips as she climbed home. As soon as she opened the door, Luna came rushing towards her and asked," What happened Bella?" "Careful Luna you could trip and fall. Be mindful of the baby." "I couldn't relax. I tried calling your phone from nine but it didn't pass through. What happened?" They settled down and Bella narrated each and everything to Luna after she said," Oh thank God that Ethan came in time. How is he? Let me give him a call and thank him." Luna left to get her phone and Bella realized that she had come with Ethan's coat. She hugged it and it had his scent that she loved so much.
Luna talked to Ethan who assured her that he was fine and she thanked him many times for saving her friend from those bad guys. After they had dinner, Bella went to her room and took a shower then after, she decided to sleep in Ethan's coat with nothing inside. She went to bed smiling like a fool. She thanked God for today's incident because it brought them closer. The only bad thing about it was that he got hurt in the process. At first, Bella had decided on bottling her growing feelings because Ethan was interested in Luna. But after seeing that Luna was deeply in love with Graham, she had decided to let her feelings bloom without suppressing any. God knows where they would take her. She slept with a smile on her face while inhaling his scent.
The next morning at work, Luna asked," Ethan are you really okay? Does it hurt anywhere?" "Not at all I got pain killers.I was also told that it was completely healing within a week. It doesn't hurt." Then Alex came in. Alex was handling another branch of Carter enterprises so he rarely came this side. Luna excused herself and left the room. "How are you feeling?" asked Alex. "I will be fine." "Did she forgive you? She seemed okay," said Alex. "Yes she did. But honestly, I think I'm unlucky," said Ethan. "Why you say so?" "Because look, Alicia the first woman I've ever loved left me with a baby. She didn't look back. The second woman I like doesn't feel the same way. At times I wonder if I will ever find someone who will love me wholeheartedly for who I am. Someone who will never give up on me." "You shouldn't say that Ethan. Of course you will find her. You just have to be patient," said Alex.
