1310 Words
When Brittney got back Lloyd was looking too good. His face was pale and was getting weaker. Brittney
wanted to call a doctor but he insisted tha he'll be fine and that he is always like this when he has fever.
She made soup for him and fed him. He kept giggling the whole time. It was 6pm and it was getting dark
outside. She needed to go back home and cook for Daven.
" Lloyd, I'm sorry but I gotta go. I need to be at home right now. " she said standing up from her chair and
gently removing her fingers from his hand.
" No no. Please don't leave me alone. I don't want you to go." He tried to put on his most dramatic sick face as he can.
" It's getting late. I promise you that I'll visit you tomorrow morning. " She didn't want to leave either as she was still worried about him. But who will take care of her husband?
" No. It's not like you have someone you have to attend, right? " he gently looked at her curious of her
answer.
' Daven... no that traitor.' She looked at him and smiled. " There's no one I'm rushing to."
" See? Okay then at least stay until I fall asleep, then you can leave." He takes her hand and placed on his
chest. " I beg you Brittney. Please. "
Brittney was unable to refuse and texted Daven.
" Please sleep come to bed, you might get tired sitting on the chair. And it will make me feel safe. "
Brittney just wanted to put him to sleep and leave, so she did as he say as she didn't feel anything strange about it. He is her friend anyway.

After Daven received a text ftom Brittney saying that she might come back late today at the station, he didn't rush home, instead he went somewhere.
'That bastard is gone, he better not come back before I start thinking of taking his life. ' he coldly snorted and drove away from the villa.

It has only been a half an hour and Brittney has already fallen into deep sleep. Lloyd slowly opened his eyes, seeing her face, his usual cold eyes were replaced with affection. He tries to pull her closer to him
without waking her up.
Before he knew it, their faces were an inch apart. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes before he decided to capture the moment. A streaming joy gushed from his heart. He gently caressed her face and kept staring at her for another hour before she woke up.
When she opened her eyes, he instantly closed his pretending to be asleep. He sensed her getting off the bed and out of the room. A soft smile danced on his thin lips. After she left he picked his his phone and
called someone.
" Yes master. "
" Make sure she gets home safely. And send someone to pick me up." With that being said he hangs up.
When Brittney got home it was past 8pm and Daven was already sleeping. She didn't bother finding something to eat and went straight to her room. The next day Daven left the house earlier than usual to
work.
He was clearly avoiding Brittney. After he kissed her yesterday he was becoming more confused with his feelings for her. Is it because he feels sorry for her after he read about her past or what? He doesn't know and he is certain that he doesn't want to know either... maybe not now.
At lunch he gets a call from Georgia asking if he was free for lunch. They met up at a restaurant that Georgia chose. They chilled and laughed distracting Daven from his thoughts. Suddenly Georgia asks something unusual. " Can I ask you something? "
" yeah go ahead. " He sounded carefree which made Georgia less nervous.
" Uhm... okay..." She looked at him in his eyes and opened her mouth. " What if someone you haven't seen for a long time comes back and claims to be engaged to you, what would you do? "
Daven looked at her uncertain and asks, " Do I know this person? "
" Well... let's just say you might not remember her."
" Then I would ask for proof that I'm engaged to her." He didn't feel anything with her question.
Georgia smiled lightly and takes a sip of her coffee. ' Then that's all I need...and I have it. Very soon you'll be mine again Daven. ' She said in her mind, looking at him with a smirk.
" Anyway where is your partner? You can't tell me that you don't have one."
Georgia didn't immediately respond and looked down before saying. " A lot of things happened between
us."
" Like....?" He was now curious to know.
" It's a long story..." Her phone rings and as soon as she sees the caller she prepares to leave." I will tell you next time when we meet again. I have to go now. " she gets up and leaves.
Daven finished his lunch before going back to work. At evening when he gets back from work, Brittney was waiting for him in his room. As he entered, his eyes went wide and gasped in shock. " What happened in here? "
His clothes from the closet were lying around, his bed was a mess, his drawer next to his bed was wide
open with some of the things that were in it were on the floor.
Brittney slowly walked up to him. She stared at him coldly trying her best not to breakdown in tears.
Daven stared at her back uncertain of what was happening. ' Why is she staring at me like that? '
" Brittney, are you okay? " He tries to touch her forehead but was stopped by a cold voice
" Don't touch me with your filthy hands."
Daven had to look at her blink faster to see if the voice belonged to her. He suddenly felt strangely hurt by
her words. He stared at her for a while in disbelief before she asked,
" How could you do this to me? "
Daven didn't respond. He was starting to feel nervous and hesitating to say something. ' Should I tell her
the truth? But it will ruin everything. Maybe not now.'
" Who are you? "
That question made his heart skip a beat and start wondering wether she now knows who he really is. "
What do you mean by who am I? "
" Don't play dumb with me you know what I'm talking about." She crossed her arms and waited for an
answer.
Daven gave up and was about to reveal his real identity when he thought of something. ' What if she's
talking about something else? ' with that he smiled playfully. " I don't know what you're talking about.
Maybe you tell me what you are talking about. "
Brittney became more angry. " I'm not joking with you. I know your real identity! "
Immediately he froze. ' Could it be that she really does know? No it can't be.' His face turned serious. "
How? "
" Haha so you think that I wouldn't find out...huh? " She coldly said taking a step closer to him.
" Brittney, who am I? What are you really onto? " He asked one more time just to confirm.
Brittney smiled sadly. " Unbelievable." She stared at him for a second before saying, " Fine I will tell you,
you are the masked man who was at the abandoned church. "
"..."
' What did she just say? '
" I'm sorry, but what??"
