(Song recommendation : Beggin' by Maneskin)
Ana quickly hurries to Oh-Music and searches for the song. After downloading it, she begins to play it.
{Put your loving hands out baby
{Cause I am begging....}
Ana jolts up in her bed and smiles. Ethan listens to these kind of songs? Isnt this sort of a love song? She would think he is one who hates music, but who would have known?
'Boss, I didnt know you have this taste in music. I like it.'
Ethan smirks faintly when he hears her response.
'You haven't heard it before?'
'Not at all.'
Good. he was glad she hadn't. He would be the first to tell her about it.
'I am recommending it to you. It is very okay.'
Ana was still playing the song and she sees the lyrics werent for one who is avoiding love or who hates being round people. Perhaps Ethan didnt even know what the song is about.
'Boss do you know what the song is about?'
'Anastasia, put your loving hands out.'
She felt her stomach do some sort of dip as if her intestines had fallen to the pit to of her stomach when she saw his response. 'I...don't understand.'
'It is a cry out to a lover. A love song.' He knew she might not get it. By now, she probbly thinks he is very slow. It wasn't a lie, he just couldn't control it when he is around her. To him, it almost felt as if he was working under the strict supervision of a Professor. Any mistake or wrong act, could earn him a minus and ruin his grades. What if he says something or speaks too much and she doesnt like what he had just said. Of course Ana wouldn't tell him, but what he had said or done would be used against him when he attempts to confess his feelings.
That is if he ever dares to confess his feelings.
Ana turns on her stomach and rests her chin on the pillow. She didnt know Ethan too would understand this type of thing.
'Boss, I didn'know you would understand stuff like this. I like the song.'
Stuff like this? She should wait till she sees his playlist. Songs like this make up eighty percent of his playlist. Was it when he had seen her talking to some random boy her age at the coffee shop and how she was beaming from ear to ear, or was it when she hugged some random older dude who clearly seemed interested in her? He had to find a song to suit his mood during the times. Back then, could feel his heart clenching together in his chest. The feeling of seeing her with some other man, felt unbearable.
He types some words into his laptop and sends the email off before rising from his desk and walking to his room.
What will he do if Anastasia doesnt ever look his way?
Ethan makes a sudden pause and placed his right palm to his chest. Just the thought of it made his heart ache badly. He could not pressure her into being with him. It was not even an option. Afterall, all he wanted was to see her happy.
Although he had to admit, seeing her happy with him would make him happier than ever. He sits at the edge of his head and replies to her message. Carefully reading through what he had sent to make sure he didn't make any mistake.
'Stuff like this sounds good to the ear. I have a good playlist. If you need recommendations, you are free to ask me.' He lays in bed and pulls the duvet over his body, leaving the other half exposed to the coldness of his room. Would she be in bed ny now? She should sleep early so she would not feel too tired the following morning.
'I will be sure to. Thank you in advance.'
He wanted to send her goodnight so that she would sleep early but he had an idea and decided to ask. Very carefully of course. 'Ana, how do you like to work?'
Ana was already preparing to go to bed. She could feel her eyelids getting heavy already when she got his message. 'I am not sure I understand.'
'When you work, do you like to watch movies or listen to music or do other things?'
'Oh..I like to listen to music when I work. Boss I am feeling sleepy now. Good night. I will see you tomorrow.'
Ethan got her message and quickly replies back. 'Goodnight. See you tomorrow.'
He stares at the 'see you tomorrow' she had sent for some seconds before his face breaks into wide grin. Heavens! Who knew someday she would say this kind of thing to him? He stares at it again and presses play on his music. Placing his phone on the night stand, he couldn't stop thinking about her message. After humming to the song for some minutes, he smiles to himself like a teenage boy and uses the duvet to cover his entire face.
Oh...Anastasia, the feelings you make me go through. He felt like he was at the peak of happiness at the moment.
Anastasia who was unaware of the turmoil she had placed a particular being was already sleeping soundly with her phone in her hands.
The following morning, Ana first went to the post office. When she got, there she met the same man who had told her the address she was posting to was currently being destroyed. He told her the same information and Ana smiles gently and asked him to post it. The man gave her a mysteriouslook but still did as he was told. She wasnt writing it for anyone to read anyways. For all she knows, Dmitri could be dead or be a man in his seventies or even on his death bed.
When she got to The Resurrected, the guards gave her a surpised expression before saluting her. Ana nods her head gently and walks on. Why do they even do that to her? She had not gotten to the main reception of Ethans floor when she heard movements around.
"What could be going on?" He doesn't like people. Why would there be lots of them around?
