Hearts desire

Chapter 5

Loud knocking gets me up out of my dreams, “Heaven who on earth wakes up this early on holiday, this is not right” I shout as i get to the door

“Good Morning sunshine,” Taylor chirpy happy self in front of my door

“Arrgg really this early what is wrong with you i didn't even have coffee yet, seriously you need to recheck your brain on this, waking people this early” i say with leaving the door open to go and make coffee

“Well lucky for you I can make coffee please go and get ready i will drive you to town today” Taylor explains with a smile and starting to move around to make coffee.

“Why, Why are you doing this to me?” I say softly moving towards the bathroom, irritated a bit with this happiness this early, i can't function without coffee.

“Well seeing that you are extremely polite in the morning i will let this pass for now, you are still a ray of sunshine even though you are grumpy” Taylor chirps again laughing

“Oh piss off, just make the coffee ok I'll be back, 2 sugars 2 coffee and no  milk.  Got it, great I'll go get ready and don't go near my s**t, when you do go sit outside so i can finish "I say slouching to the bathroom.

HE just laughs

Feeling better after the shower where I could clearly wake up properly with the scene out to nature . I feel better. Getting to the room with just the towel wrapped around me i start getting my clothes and shoes and see that my coffee is right next to my bed. I need to say sorry to Taylor. He just did his duties and I'm being rude because I overslept, but still in my defense, who on earth functions so early without coffee, it's a sin to do that in my opinion.

Finishing up i go outside seeing Taylor waiting patiently looking out on the animals down below

“Hi, thank you for waiting and thank you for my coffee and I'm sorry i went off on you” i say getting to the car

He just watch me as i walk closer and then he lean into my ear and says “No Problem sunshine at least i know what you prefer in the mornings, but i would like to know was heaven peaceful” he steps away and holding out his hand for me to get into the car

Why am i getting flustered with him so close to me

“Yes it was i was still there before this human being just knocked me out of it, its was like being hit by a car, do you know who that person was” i say smiling and getting into the car

“Really did you get a good look at this human you refer to? We need to go lay a complaint and maybe get a guard to protect you from these intruders on your holiday, we don't want you to be hit by a car the world would be at a loss.”  Taylor plays along

“No need for drastic measures I'll just punch or kick them next time” i say laughing “unless of course i get coffee then all will be fine”

We laugh together and get going to town. Taylor ask what music i like and i say anything and he puts something on, we sing together and make demonstrations acting songs out.  I like his soft character and humor its refreshing.  We get to town, its not very big like in the cities its small but they have all thats necessary here. Taylor stops at the local food market and i buy a few things, him always next to me and translating some of the things.  

There are photographers and film crews everywhere, I wonder what it's all about

Everything loaded we get back on the road towards the reserve. Getting to the reception area.

“My Lady i was honored in being your chaperone for the the day” Taylor explains while we walk the path to the reception area

“Really no man ever liked shopping with a woman, but seeing that you are so polite i will say, Its my pleasure to have tortured you, but then again you were the i***t in waking me up with your little chirpy self” I say starting to laugh

Everything looks busy here today I think to myself, though I wander off to the fields stretching for miles. I Didn't see where I was going.

“Ouch” i exclaim bumping into something

Getting to my senses and Taylor trying to help me by grabbing my arm to hold onto

I look up and to my shock it's that man again from Ferreira's Industries, seriously. He has a slight smile and he is watching me and then his eyes quickly went to my arm where Taylor was holding it, and then back to me.

“My apologies Sir i didn't see you there” i say looking at him still trying to get my head straight

“I apologize to you, i didn't switch my invisibility mode off, no wonder you bumped into me” he says with a chuckle and amusement

“Well I'm glad its sorted out right now, thanks to little old me” I reply “if you will excuse me i have arrangements to make at reception, but I'll see you around, enjoy your day”

He intensely look at me and say “I will definitely be seeing you, and please watch who is touching you” looking at Taylor

“You are so funny” i say laughing 

We start walking to the reception Taylor in front of me, I have this feeling to turn around and as i do This man is standing there hands in his pockets and smiling at me. I smile back and wave.

At reception I booked a seat on tomorrow evening game drive and also to eat dinner in the restaurant after the game drive.

They take me to my cottage and I thank my driver for the help in packing all of my things in my cottage.

Finally I can relax, have a deep soothing bath and sit on my deck and just relax. I want to sit and enjoy the last bit of sunset and animals before the moon will greet us again tonight. I Have 3 cottages to my left with enough space between them and to my right i have 2 

Packing everything out and running a bath I pour a glass of wine and set the candles. I get ready to soak in the bath. The bath is huge and it also looks out on the wild nature.

I lay and start to think about this man I again bumped into.  I have to admit he is seriously handsome, big dark eyes, tall, well groomed and he smells so good. Why would he tell me to watch who is touching me if he knows Taylor.  Also he seems to know me or am i going crazy, maybe i should just ask him when I see him again.  Wait a minute I saw him at Ferreira's when I rushed out without shoes after Chris attacked me, and now he is here, this doesn't make sense. Maybe he is following me for something, no that cannot be I'm probably just making things up.

I push my thoughts to finish up with my bath, dressed in just a t-shirt, I get my wine and I walk to the deck looking over the reserve with the sun setting over the horizon, the heavens turning all shades of pastel colors, it's spectacular. The animals are starting to get to there spots to rest and there are hundreds of different groups together. In silence i take all in. I take a deep sigh and start to relax in this sofa with all the plush pillows and  soft candle light around.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts with cars coming past my cottage. Seriously, I didn't book anything. I hope it's not Taylor. I will punch him tonight. I walk to the front forgetting I only have a t-shirt on, I see the black car slowly going past my cottage. The car stops and again there he is, watching me through the car window.

“You should go inside you might get attacked out here this time” he says with his lips smiling

“Oh really, I can't do this with you, please don't tell me you are my neighbor, I was informed there will be no one here for at least a week” I say with my arms demonstrating my irritability

“Well by the looks of how you dress I think I'm just in time to protect you” he laughs

“Why does everyone seem to think I need protection, I am truly capable of taking care of myself, I've done it for so long why on earth will I need it now” I say rolling my eyes

Getting out of the car he walks to me slowly and then stands right in front of me more like towering above me.

“Well let's call it tuition, and if you don't mind I will love a glass of wine or should i get my own '' He says with the intensity that makes me look away a bit feeling shy at the same time. 

“I don't know you and quite frankly i think you should get your own wine” i say turning around moving to the inside “wait a minute i don't even know your name” i say 

“These people these days doesn't anyone know a thing called manners anymore, what is wrong with people” I say softly walking to my deck.

“And by the way you've made me miss the complete sunset, idiots” i demonstrate towards the horizon

There is this loud rumble of laughter coming from my kitchen part where this human is all over my wine

“Seriously you seriously taking my wine” rolling my eyes and giving him my glass to pour some in “you might as well top mine up seeing that this is going to be a long night”

“Sure” he says smiling and going about his duties

After I've taken my place outside again this time with a blanket covering me he arrives with our wine and sit opposite me facing me 

“Thank you, so what's your name lets start at that” i say with a smile getting extremely comfortable on the sofa

“Zane” he replies

“Well Zane, thank you for the intrusion and i hope you like it from my deck, seeing its too much effort to go to yours” i say softly taking a sip of my wine

He smiles and moves his huge body to get comfortable, i watch him carefully with the soft candle light

“If i may ask, why are you here”

“Well Zane, isn't it obvious i came on a holiday to get away from, well lets just say everything, not knowing that i will be followed around” i say softly staring into the night sky the sounds of the night getting to my ears

“I see” he replies looking to his wine in his hands

“Would you like me to get you anything” he ask

“No thank, i don't mind you intrusion but just be quite and still then you can stay” i say softly laying my head down on my arm on the sofa and soft fluffy pillows

Everything is quiet. You can see the stars. They are so bright and clear like you can see the whole universe. I miss me. I miss my heart wishing I could just disappear into the stars and fly with the moon.

I drift off to sleep. I don't know for how long I was out when suddenly I feel a pair of strong arms lifting me, I snuggle against the warmth and know I am being carried by Zane.

I feel the soft comfort of my bed and the blankets being pulled over me and then, a kiss on the side of my head and Zane whispering 

“Sweet Dreams my Amber Grace, I will see you soon and dream of me, I will miss your sweet voice”
