And All It Started At The Night We Met

Chapter 8

SHANE...

When I open my eyes my fever was already gone and I was feeling much better.. I was very busy these days and Leonard's trip made me hard to breathe because of work..

I have ignored my health these days and it started showing up from yesterday morning, but I didn't care much.. And when I couldn't take it anymore I asked Alice to leave, lying that I have already left the office..

And when I went to the washroom at afternoon I fell down on the floor, unconscious..

And then.. Wait! It was her! She appeared at that moment and took care of me! My eyes started to search her and finally they detect her, there she was, sleeping on the couch at a corner.

Suddenly, a realisation hit me.. She stayed here overnight! But, why would she do that!? I mean why on earth would anyone do that!?

I stared at her out of shock, because this can not be possible, right!? Or I am hallucinating her! I quickly cleared my eyes but no she didn't disappear! She was there, sleeping quietly..

You might be thinking why I am freaking out like this right? Because this happened for the first time in my life! No one ever did this for me, not even my own mother!

Yes, since childhood we brothers have been learned how to live by ourself and take care of ourself alone..

Our parents were a working people and they had to travelled a lot because of business.. They were never with us much.. They always left us with nannies but how much would nanny care, right?

Moreover, I always want mom to be with me, specially whenever I fall in sick but it never happened, not even once in a lifetime.. I don't know how does it feel to be taken care by someone..

Since childhood I learned one thing, be selfish because others are.. They won't care about you if you don't have any power and fame.. Not even your own family..

Now, everyone wants to take care of me because of my power, fame and money.. But, if they found me in that condition, I was yesterday, would have left that very moment..

Everyone one will ask 'how are you' when you don't need it but when you actually need it, no one will even spare a glance at you.. This is the truth of this cruel world.. And that's why, when I fall in sick I kept myself away from everyone.. I don't want people to see my weakness..

And the thought of that, Alice also should have left from the sight but she didn't, instead she stayed over here the whole night! What the f**k she was thinking!?

I was staring at her for how long God knows only.. She took care of me and stayed here, this simple fact is making me go crazy..

Since the first time I met her, she's very hard to understand.. Doing unexpected things all the time! I don't know why but from her first sight, I have been lusting over her.. Maybe because she is beautiful and sexy..

But I also respect her because of her professionalism and hard work..

I have stopped hiring female assistants after an incident before.. They are troublesome and always mixed up business with pleasure.. I thought she will also do this and I will complete my revenge after insulting her but much to my surprise she never did anything unprofessional!

I tried to irritate her with works too but she never complained and even finished her all tasks.. I have to say that she has a very great future ahead..

I always thought she is cold.. Always putting the same poker face on but yesterday I saw worry in her face, it was concerned for me, who actually never thought twice before torture her to satisfy his ego..

She even scold me and call me by my name when I denied to take medicine.. I was surprised that time and now thinking of that I realised that I actually didn't mind that.. She never called me by name ever in these six months.. Yesterday was first..

I got out of bed and walked up to her.. And for the first time I noticed how beautiful she is.. I mean she is always so beautiful and that's why I have been lusting over her.. But now, she looks angelic.. It's a different kind of beautiful.. Like a beautiful flower, you always wanted to look at..

Her flawless glassy skin, short black wavy hair, perfet shaped figure, though she never dressed inappropriately ever, nor she showed much skin, still it's guessable.. Her those perky cherry red lips and the most amazing thing was her those magnificent emerald-green eyes..

Suddenly, she frowned and gather her hand more close as if she was cold.. I quickly take the quilt and cover her.. Her frowning vanished.. I don't know when an unknown smile crept on my face..She is so cute and gorgeous..

All of a sudden, a guilty feeling rush through me.. All these while what I have done with her felt childish.. It actually was childish.. And I think I should stop doing that from now on and gave her the value and respect she actually deserves..

ALIC...

Beep...Beep...Beep...

I groaned, feeling irritated.. This stupid alarm of mine.. f**k! I hate this f*****g thing so very much! I have to stop it or else it will make me crazy! But, before I could do anything it stopped..

I swear it felt so peaceful.. Thanks God, for stopping that annoying thing.. It's good that it has been stopped on it's own, otherwise... Wait!! Stop on it's own! But how!?

Suddenly, I realised something and quickly opened my eyes, only to found my boss standing in front of me.. He was putting down my phone beside me.. That means it was him! "Director!" And I regret that, I regret speaking.. Because my own tone sounds funny to me.. It's groggy!! It's embarrassing!

I quickly covered my mouth.. But he already heard me and looked at me while Standing straight.. "Good Morning.. I just stop your alarm.. You can sleep few more if you want.." He said with a smile, making me shock..

I have never seen him talking like this, I mean talking with a smile plastered on face and sweetly, not at least with me.. I became speechless, not sure what to say.. But, I have to reply right?

I cleared my throat, trying to suppress my cracked Morning tone "umm.. Good Morning, director.. I won't sleep anymore.. How are you feeling now?" I asked..

He smiled again "I am fine and thank you for taking care of me.. Get fresh.." He pointed at the office bathroom "and then let's have breakfast, okay?"

I was so surprised with his behaviour that I couldn't find any word to speak, the only thing I could do was to nodded at him only.. "Okay, I am waiting.." With that he went out of the room..

I sat there dumbfounded.. I mean that was unexpected! I mean there was no sign of arrogance, no orders, no nothing! He just asked with a smile and went out!

Does he lose his mind because of sickness, well I just wonder.. Because He seems totally different from his genuine self!

Shaking my head in disbelief, I obliged what he said.. And when I came out after washing up, I found him doing something in his phone..

"Director?" I called him, not knowing what to say more..

He looked up and again smiled! "You're done?"

I just nodded.. He stood up "Good, let's go.." He walked up to the door and I just followed him without asking Any question..

SHANE...

I stopped the car in front of my favourite sun shine cafe.. I love this cafe so much and always like to have my breakfast from here..

I looked at the girl beside me.. She has been zoned out for a long time now.. God knows what is she thinking! She looked so surprised since she wake up from sleep.. I don't know what actually she is being surprised of and I swear I want to know.. But, I don't think it would be appropriate to ask her..

"Alice, we are here.. Let's get out.." I spoke..
