Visitor from Last Night

Chapter 14

“Ah…finally this work is done.” I stretched out myself on that desk.

“You have done a good job.” I felt the patting on my head which felt so good. “I have already cooked dinner, so would you like to have it now?” I nodded in his way. “Perfect!” I organized my desk and stretched myself a bit before I made my way towards the dining room.

He was already organizing table for us.

“Is something amusing?” He asked and then looked at me and I shook my head.

“Your stares are saying otherwise.” He went back to his work.

“I think amazed is the correct word to describe my feelings right now.”

“What amazes you?”

“Don’t you think it would amaze you too if you came to know that a billionaire is setting a dinner table in such a poor house?” He chuckled at that.

“Yup, that is quite a surprise. It is not every day that you see a person serving in your house.”

“For me, it is almost every day.”

“You are an exception, my lady.” He smiled. I took my seat, and then we started to talk about random things.

“You are such a big personality if your mother comes to know how you have been living here, won’t she have my head at her breakfast?” He started to chuckle at that.

“She surely won’t feel good about you letting her beloved son do chores so much, but how will she know if I never tell her and whenever I used to go to my apartment, I used to do a little bit of chores.”

“You will surely make a good husband.” I said, and after we were done with eating, I washed the dishes. We were sitting in my living room while watching a movie when we heard music coming from somewhere.

“Who might be playing music at this time?”

“There is a mid couple who have been living next door. They sometimes love to play music like this. One time I saw they were actually dancing to the song. I think they might be dancing today too.” I said while watching the movie. I remember, whenever I interact with them, they are always warm to me and both of them have helped me a couple of times, and they always seem so much in love that I think few of our neighbors are envious of them. I just hope that till the end of their lives they can hold each other's hand.

I saw a hand in front of me and I looked at him.

“May I have a dance with you?” I gave him a look.

“What are you up to?”

“I don’t have any other intentions, I just want to have a dance with you. I don’t know when we can dance again.” I nodded in his way. I looked at his hand and hesitated a bit.

“If you don’t want to, that too is okay.” He was withdrawing but I grabbed his hand.

“I will dance with you,” I said while holding his hand a bit tightly. He smiled in my way. “But I am warning you, I am not a good dancer.”

“Neither am I.” We stood up, and he put his hand around my waist to pull me a bit closer. My heart was thumping so loudly in my chest that for a moment I felt that maybe he would be able to hear it as he is so close to me.

“You seem nervous…” I looked at him.

“After all, this is my first time dancing with someone.”

“Oh…so I am the first.” I kinda felt that he was happy about that.

We started to dance to the music and, for the first time, I felt as if my surroundings had stopped, and we were the only ones who could move at that very moment.

Did that couple also feel that they were the only ones present there, and the time had stopped for them to enjoy themselves?

“You are doing quite well.”

“You are not bad yourself.” He leaned a bit.

“I wish this time stop here.” I looked at him, and he just smiled in my way. We kept on following the pace and I could say that he was the only one who wanted time to stop there only, I wished for that too. This moment was so magical for me that, if possible, then I wished that it could last forever.

This is my first time that I have experienced something so good with someone. I had crushes before, but none of them were able to make me feel this way.

Can’t you just become mine? What the hell am I even wishing for? Maybe if I was still a Cullen, then this wouldn’t be impossible, but now we have a completely different world which, for some reason, has collided with each other. Because of that, I am having this moment now.

Why didn’t I control myself? Why didn’t I stop myself from falling for you? If I had controlled myself, then the thought of bidding you a farewell wouldn’t be this heartbreaking.

“Where are you lost?”

“Nowhere.” I smiled, and so we continued to dance till we could hear the music.

I shouldn't be worrying about the future when he is right in front of me. I should just enjoy the moment before this time runs out too.
