Radiant Love

Chapter 5

Scott’s Pov

No problem, the project was finally settled. In less than a month it will be over. Goodbye, Mr. Lawson, and goodbye Miss Isabelle. I was about to leave the restaurant when someone held my arms making me stop in my steps. I turned back to look and it was Isabella. I had really hoped it was someone else. I had wanted it to be her, my beloved. I wanted to see her again, I wanted more of her. I wanted to know her name if not anything but that.

“Can I join you ? I am headed to another meeting and it is in the same direction as your company”. Isabelle asked.

There is no need for that I told her. I can get a car to drop you off and take you home. She kept on pestering me till I gave in. Isabelle stayed in the back seat with me as the driver drove off with Elliot sitting in the passenger seat.

I blew a sharp sigh and I twirled my body facing her as she was checking my face with blunt expressions as if she had tried to read what was on my mind. Which was impossible “what?” I raised an eyebrow and she ignored me.

The drive continued till we got close to the hotel. We came to a halt when we hit a car. The car had been severely tampered with due to the hit from my strong car. The back windows were shattered and the sounds of screeching tires filled the air. Elliot came down to take care of the incident and I stayed in the car with Isabelle. For someone who had a meeting to attend, she seemed not too bothered about the situation at hand. A young lady came down from the car we hit. She had a lot to say which was tiring. Another young lady came down from the car and tried to calm the first one. My heart definitely skipped a beat as I watched her closely. I was in awe of her magnificence. She looked simple and calm. The worried look on her face made me want to hold her tightly. To whisper in her ears “Everything will be okay” while stroking her back and combing her hair with my fingers. I had seen her before. Not only in my dreams, not just in my imagination but in reality. I had seen her, touched her, felt her.

She was the girl from the hotel. The stranger I had met that night, the stranger I wanted to know more about. I leaped out of my car and headed straight to the scene. It took me a little time to get there and I saw her. I embraced her, she was starstruck and couldn't speak.

She just stared at me and I couldn't help but notice my shirt getting soaked with tears rolling down her eyes. I couldn't do anything to stop the hurt. The pain she was feeling was my fault but I had no idea how to help her stop the hurting.

“Who the hell are you?” the young who came down first asked.

She held my hands and pushed me away from my beloved. I couldn't say anything and as she saw the tears streaming down my beloved's face she slapped me. She had the guts to slap me, and who the f*****g hell does she think she is to do that. The guts she had made my eyes grow dark and I just stared at my beloved who looked shocked at her friend's action. I didn't lose my cool and Elliot looked really pleased to see the calmness I imposed. I wasn't too upset, I only thought of how lucky my beloved was to have a protective friend. I couldn't protect her from the pain she was feeling but her friend was able to protect her by hitting the one who caused the pain.

The sound of sirens ended my thoughts.

The police wanted to take them away but I couldn’t let that happen. I assume Isabelle called the police as she was the only one left in the car. I couldn't let them take my beloved and her friend away.

How was I going to contact her again if the police got involved in the situation. Well, I could easily get anything I want as an influential and the youngestbillonaire it would just be like taking a day off. No stress but there was no need to put her in that kind of situation. It will be easy to get her out but I needed her to trust me. To understand that I just want her.

This shouldn't be what is on my mind.

“Stop” I shouted at the police. There is no need for you to be here everything is settled you can return to your station for all I care.

Miss? Sam the young lady answered. Elliot is going to fix your car and as for you my beloved I blurted out we have to talk.

There all stood there without making a move and I hated it when I gave an order and no one complied to it. I stared at Elliot as he got his senses back to ask the going miss for her informations.

I took my beloved by the hand as everyone stared at us in shock.
