Anna.

CHAPTER 25

Anna wake up its dawn already. She ignored the voice and burrowed deeper into the bed still sleeping soundly.

Anna he drawled you have to get up we will be late.

Hmm I want to sleep leave me she slurred deep in sleep.

Anna do you want me to leave you all alone in this room for the whole day? you have to get ready.

Venice but the meeting isn't until noon I want to sleep more.

Sleepy head he tugged her hair playfully amused at her jet lag ha even in sleep she still drips in cuteness he thought wryly. Anna the meeting is not until noon but I thought you wanted to see China he tried a different route this time.

On hearing China she sprang up from the bed covering her mouth with haste.

What's wrong?

Give me a few minutes I will be ready she muffled now in the safety of the bathroom.

You gave me the impression you didn't like China so why are we touring she bluted out immediately their car moved from the hotel.

We have some time before the meeting begins I guess it wouldn't hurt to see the place for a while would it?

Off course not let's go see the great China but can we ditch the car and transport by foot?

No we use the car.

Please I have always been intrigued by this country I want to see it really experience not from the car now I have the opportunity please please.

Okay but you have to stay right besides me don't wander off. The meeting is very important I don't want to miss it and you know you have a knack for trouble.

I will stick with you like a glue c'mon let's go before you change your mind. She took his hands wrapped it around hers like a vice and tugged him on.

They visited the great wall of China and the summer palace . Omg Venice it's so beautiful have you ever seen anything more beautiful and historic?

I agree it's okay.

She stared at his lack of enthusiasm it's not okay Venice it's simply beautiful.

Afterwards they had a lot of fun eating ice cream cone in the street blowing bubbles from a tube and shop gazing at the local stores.

This is the best day ever she said spinning around in circles.

Really? are you having that much fun here?

Yes this is my happiest day thanks to you she muttered lowering her voice.

is your lips hurting you I have never seen you smile so much in a space of time.

She giggled wow balloons Venice I want one it's so beautiful.

What are you a twelve year old?

She frowned at him I will get it myself then before the seller moves from sight.

No stay here I will buy it the distance isn't....

Venice I don't want to stress you don't bother I know how you don't like all these and she stopped her words midair at his expression.

Okay she finally conceded knowing that look he wore meant he wouldn't budge.

Wait she called out when he walked five feet apart from her. Can I follow you she asked suddenly afraid to be away from his company even for a moment.

No stay here it's crowded over there I will be back with the balloon okay.

She nodded rubbing her arms to stop herself from following him. She was pathetic it wasn't as though she wouldn't see him again she thought looking at his retreating back.

Hey miss can you show me the direction to the jinsha site museum.

She turned away from Venice angle and faced a stranger in form of a young man.

Oh am so sorry I am new to this country unfortunately I can't help you and bam she felt dizzy and fell into a darkness the last thing she muttered was Venice.

****

Anna here are the balloons I didn't know the color you wanted so I bought the whole bunch.

Anna? where the hell could she be? he left her at this particular spot he was very sure of that. This couldn't be good she didn't know anywhere in China.

Anna!! Anna!!! his blood frozed when he spotted her shoe strewn over the street.

Hell he didn't realize when he grabbed a man by his arms hey did did you see anna but they all looked at him like he was a damn lunatic and many ignored him. Panic stricken and scared s**t he grabbed the first table his hands could reach out broke into two scattering everything in his way and shouted if you people ain't gonna provide Anna I am f*****g gonna kill you all.

This got their attention everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

Umm a mister in black took her in a car and speec off.
