She had a seemingly sexy body and slender legs with a tall measuring 5 foot and six. She was born with flawless complexion of skin.
Most of all , she's born with natural kindness. Being so humble toward other , no matter how high they think she is. She always keep her feet in the ground. Its what her mother told her back when she was a child. However , she grew up and realize that things wasn't exactly as what her mom told her.
The world it too cruel for her to be kind.
It started when her mother died. His father then become a womanizer dating countless of woman and dumping one after one. His father become abusive , hitting her when got furious or being stressed in work. Everything become so hard for her when her father meet this woman named , Tracy. He told her she was a friend of him and need temporary shelter and he offered his own roof for her to stay. All came out to be what her father said not until one day , after school. She caught them on the act—fvcking.
She hate her father for that. She felt disgust. She ran away from home , with nothing in mind where to head. When she think everything seem to be void in her life , came an angel sent from heaven to protect her.
She was wandering off the street after running away from home. She was eighteen that time. To young and beautiful to care less walking alone in the cruel world full of crime. Then , she meet Night . Midnight Atticus Tan is his full name. Just the name sound handsome and indeed he is.
Eurydice always think he is a modern Greek God alive. Measuring six foot tall. Handsome face , perfect features of hazel eyes , pointed nose and seemingly tantalizing lips. He had a regular work out that keep his body in it's suitable features. He had a broad shoulder and long legs. She actually think he could pass up in modeling. But he is more into action things and combat. When his father died , he inherited its bodyguard company—The Alpha.
Eurydice almost got hit by a running bus if not pulled by a strong arms whom later she realize belong to the most handsome man her eyes have laid. As soon as he lend his hand for her , she felt safe , finally found after being lost for so long.
She never thought of coming back home. She choose to live alone , free and happy and she was thankful for meeting Night who become her friend after all this years. He become her best friend , protector and hero. With him she never felt alone anymore. He help her getting back at school , supporting her tuition fees and allowance. She was too ashamed to accept it without paying back and so she choose to help him in his home. Doing household chores for him as he didn't hire any maid to do so. They're bond grew stronger over time. They have each others back every time.
Night also offered help finding a new home for her. He propose her to live one of the apartment he owned. She was hesitant at first , he have help her more than anything. It's too much debt but Night insisted and she can't just refuse his charm.
In the neighborhood , she meet Amber and Terry. The couple living next door. She immediately got close with Amber whom she found a sister material. But as the news of it's death...murder rather , spread across the news , she felt more than a heavy heart. She always hate seeing everyone in her life leaving.
Knowing the news of murder , Night came to her as he knows well Eurydice is having a hard time right now.
"Hey. You okay?." He's been asking the exact the same question to her ever since he arrive but didn't get any response. He realize it is an obvious question though. Of course she's not okay. He should know better.
He cuddle her to show he's with her during every time like this to comfort her.
When Eury finally calm down from the hard cries , she started talking about how Amber was so good toward her. Night was listening to her while rubbing her back slowly and gently. He didn't like any least seeing her crying. Its breaking his own heart. His sympathy for her is growing deeper that he doesn't know how to name it anymore. All he know is he care for her , he felt he had the biggest responsibility to protect her now. And he's more than willing to do so. For her. Yeah.. for her..
"You're not going to leave me too right?." She lifted her eyes to meet his. Her stares are soft , fragile and vulnerable. Night respond with a nod and caress his face.
"I'm not going to leave." He assured and pull her back for another tight hug.
"I don't know what will happen to me if you'll leave to. It would be the death of me." She tighten his embrace to him , afraid of might losing him like her mother , her father and Amber. All of them leave her now. She can't afford to lose Night. Not him.
She unravel herself from the hug and cup both of Nights cheek and stare at his eyes , letting herself lost in its abyss of eternity.
"Promise you won't leave. No matter what happened."
Night smiled sweetly and caress her hands. "I won't. That's a promise. No matter what happen."
She's happy to hear it. Too much happy to pull his down and bring his lips to her. Night stilled , didn't see that one coming.
She didn't intend to kiss him. She's just too overwhelmed. That's it. They awkwardly distance each other after the realization hit them both.
"That's—
"I-I didn't intend that one." Eury reasoned out and hide her face because of the embarrassment. Damn! What a heck , Eury?
Her mind is scolding her agitated. She just want the earth to bury her right now , right here.
They are best friend. They do not suppose to kiss like that. But who care anyway. She likes it.
Does he?
