Chereads / My You: Stay with you / Chapter 16 - It was.... love

Chapter 16 - It was.... love

Roderick walked around the house looking around. He felt chills as he remembered the memories he had with that house.

How could he run away like that. He didn't feel the way he felt in his house in London. He knew that it was because his family was there. Roderick had a very soft spot in his heart when it came to family. He promised himself that he was going to make it up to his family for the years he wasted. He would make sure to be happy again. And about having a woman in his life, he would find someone soon, he was sure.

Suddenly, she appeared in his head.... Giselle. He was thinking about her again. He had a very hard time taking her off his mind and now there he was thinking about her. He smiled as he thought of how he thought of her like that.

Honestly, he had been drawn to her since the first day he saw her. But her shook the feeling away. But now his thoughts was taking the best of him.

He wondered what she was doing, how she was feeling. He wanted to know.

He stood lost in thought.

"Ricky!" Julian screamed his name making him jolt.

"What is it?" He was. Obviously annoyed.

"What were you thinking about?" Julian thought something was off about his brother.

He has never been stuck in his own head before.

Just then, Julian smiled realizing what he must have been thinking of her again.

"Its her, right?"

"Her, who?'' Roderick was trying to act like he didn't know what Julian was talking about.

"Don't lie to me. I know you, you've been lost in thought for a while now and I figured it was her. So tell me, what do you really feel about her?" Julian looked directly at him.

"I don't know... Sigh" Roderick looked back at his brother.

"Am I falling for her?" He asked inwardly.

"I think you are in love with her, bro. You thinking about her like that. You and I know it's not normal'', Roderick looked puzzled.

He knew he felt something but never thought it was.... Love.

No. It couldn't be.

That's not it.

No no no.

Ricky didn't believe it. Not even a little bit.

"That's shit" Julian looked at him with a smile.

"You wouldn't know, I don't know if you have a fear of women." Julian shook his head.

"How can I fall for someone I know nothing about? It doesn't make sense" he was expecting a better explanation but all he got was; "you'll see"

Giselle had a very exhausting day.

She left her father to go to the office after Jasmine and Samuel assured her that they can watch over their father. Giselle forcefully gave in because she didn't want to give the other employees a wrong impression about her

She went back to the hospital immediately.

"How is he?"

"He's getting better. The doctor says he needs more rest and can be discharged now." Jasmine calmly told Giselle.

"Do you think we should take him home?" Giselle was worried, worried that something might happen again.

But she decided to take charge of giving her father his medicine and taking care of him even if she would be busy at work, she would make sure to check in.

"Sigh ....For me, I think he should go home and eat home made food. Maybe his health will improve"

"I'm bringing someone into the company for training "

Roderick and Julian looked at their Grandpa surprisingly.

"Why?" Julian asked first because he new what the old man meant by training.

"Yes grandpa, why?" He continued "does he or she knows anything about our company?"

"I trust and know she will learn quick. Just like the other new girl who nailed Lumina."

"Giselle has pure talent and has potentials. That is rare, she looks like she has studied a lot and she ready to take on and responsibilities. Can that girl do that?" Roderick stated firmly.

"Ahem" Julian faked clearing his throat. Roderick got the message immediately and sealed his mouth.

"She a very beautiful girl and is a fresh graduate. Give her a chance, okay? And maybe one of you can fall for her" he winked.

"I guess that applies to only me... Sigh"

"I said one of you" the restated.

"Well.... The thing is, Ricky has his eyes on someone" he smiled mischievously looking at Ricky who just stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Is that so? Then you Julian win Olivia over.

Good luck you two. I'll be expecting many great grand kids soon" he stood up and headed to his room to rest.

"Why did you tell him that? Who says I have my eyes on Giselle?"

"I didn't mention Giselle. I only said that to save your butt. How will you prove that you are not in love with her when you act like this?" Julian stated as a smile curved on his face. Yes he got him.

"Follow your heart, brother". He patted his shoulder and walked away.

Roderick went to his room and his mind was in chaos. Was he really in love with that girl? It couldn't be right? He sat on the bed still thinking. Was it possible to fall for someone so fast without knowing anything about her?

He was going to confirm himself.

He was going to find out if Julian was right about what he said. If he was truly in love with Giselle.

Olivia will report to work tomorrow. She was nervous. That is something she has never done and now she's doing it.

What if she fails?

What if she's not qualified?

What if her colleagues does not like her?

Many questions was in her mind.

She already told Astrid about it and Astrid assured her that she will do great. Astrid gave her hope and as she remembered what Astrid told her, she slowly calmed down. Taking deep breaths.

She needed to prepare for tomorrow. She arranged things she would need for work. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

Tomorrow will be great.
