CHAPTER 17

BLAIKE IVERSON'S POINT OF VIEW I was staring at the blue sky, the sun was as bright as before. The sky was as peaceful as the ocean, the birds were flying above freely. I felt the cold wind touching my skin. I hold the glass of wine, then drank some. I enjoyed sitting in my chair. I heard a loud sound, I tried to find where it was coming from. Then I saw my phone, it was ringing, so I pick it up. I glance at my phone who was calling, it was not saved in my phone book, that is why I dont know who was calling. "Who is this?" I asked as I answered the phone. "It was the ********** ******* Hospital. The girl you left in here can go out," a female voice answered. "What about her?" I asked curiously. I know that Rod handles it, I told him to take care of it. I would want to call him, but I just remember that I ordered to him find some private investigator. But how does the hospital knows my phone number? Maybe Rod puts it in their contact list. "You can come to pick her up. Since she was not talking to us. And also her bills," she replied. "But---," she didn't let me finish by interrupting whatever I'm about to say. "I have to end the call, Sir! Something urgent came," she said and hang up the call. I just took a deep breath. Then put my phone in my pocket and get my car keys. I have no choice but to go to the hospital and pick her up. I drove off directly to the hospital. I pay the bills at the counter and open the car door for me. She sits next to me in the front seat. "Where do you live?" I asked her in a cold tone. It wasn't my responsibility in the first place to take care of her. But since she was injured that day and Rod insist to help her, I just agreed to that kind of idea. I looked at her without interest in my eyes. I was waiting for her answer, so I could take her home. And I can do some important things that I should be doing this time. "I dont-t know," she said in a weak tone. I looked at her. She still has some bruises on her body. Maybe because she was been abused by the people we killed. She is shaking right now, her body was trembling, and I can see fear in her eyes. It would not be a great idea to bring a girl home. But since she was still in trauma, maybe she can't stay in my mansion for a few days. Then after that, I could find her someplace to stay. "What is your name?" I asked her. Then started my car engine and drove off. I just focus on the road, while I was driving and trying to get her trust. I can feel she had been in a tough situation. I waited for her to answer. "A-ayeisha," she said in a frightened tone. "Ayeisha?" I called her. "That is a beautiful name of yours, like you," I praise her. She looks at me, I felt her eyes looking at me. I just let her stare at me for minutes. When I glance at her, she looks away. I just want her, to feel secure and comfortable. Once she was okay, I would bring her home. For now, at least I can do gave her a place to stay, food, and some clothes. She still has trauma because of that day, so I can't blame her. "T-thank you," she said happily. I looked at her for a second then smiled. A half-hour later, we arrive at my mansion. The guards opened the gate for me. I parked my car and opened the car door for her. "Let's go inside! It is my mansion, feel at home, dont be shy. I know you are hungry, let us eat inside," I offered to her. She just keep quiet and nodded to me. I just took a deep breath and sigh. I think I gonna need more patience with her. Since I don't like when someone doesn't talk to me when I am talking to them. I just smiled at her forcibly and walked inside of my mansion. She just followed me inside. Rod was waiting for me on the couch. "Rod!" I called him. He stands up and walks toward me. I taught he was looking at me, but he was not paying attention to what I am saying. So I looked back, I see Ayiesha, I just realize that she was amazed by the beauty of Ayiesha. I move closer to him, to whisper to Rod. And said to her. "Don't stare at her too much, she might melt. By the way, her name was Ayiesha," then I tapped her shoulder. ROD AZRAEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Wha-t?" I responded to Rod was dumbfounded. I stared at her, she was beautiful like an angel. She has wavy hair that reaches r angelic eyes, her pointed nose, and also her lips as red as rose. I looked back and glanced at my boss. He was now at the table and was about to start eating. I forgot that it was already noon, and I have eaten yet. I walked closer to her. She takes a step back. She seems scared and her body is trembling, I can also see fear in her eyes. So I stopped walking closer to her. "Let us eat," I offered to her. She just nodded and didn't speak. "Come on," I continued. I walked towards the table, and she just followed me. I move the chair, so she could sit. I also get a fork, spoon, and a plate. "You can sit now and eat with us," I said then walked to the other side of the table to sit and eat. Since I can feel that Ayeisha wasn't comfortable that someone was around her. She sits down then we started eating. It was been an uncomfortable situation for us. Since I can't talk to Blaike about some important matters because she was around. Silence is the only thing you could hear in the four corners of this room. AYIESHA SANTOS'S POINT OF VIEW "T-thank you," I said in a weak tone of voice. I looked to the person who helped me. He was the one who pay for my bills, help me out, and also rushed me to the hospital. He was a nice person as I can see in him, he was also quite handsome. Having those dark brown eyes, those dark black hair, his pointed nose, his lips that were red as blood, and also his muscular body. No wonder if had no girlfriend. "You are always welcome!" the other man said. I looked at him, he was also handsome. But the other man got my attention. I took a deep breath and sighed. I started to overcome my fear and trauma. "What is your name?" I asked them, then smile. "Rod! Im gonna go first. Just take care of her," he said to Rod coldly. I looked at him. Did he just say take care of me? Is that mean he cares for me? He is the first man to say that to me. I have never experienced being treated like this. They help me even if they dont know me. It means they have trust in me. I just looked at, him while he was walking away. "By the way I am Rod," he said happily. Then laid his hands in front of me offering a handshake, and I gladly accepted. We both started eating and staying quiet after that the maids took the dishes away. "The maids have already finished cleaning the guest room. You can stay in there," he said. "Follow me," he continued to say. "Thank you!" I said then smiled at him, he smiled back at me. He started to walk under the stairs of the mansion. The guest room was there, there are 5 guest rooms, but Rod gave me the first one. I dont know how many floors are in here. Since I didn't take a quiet looked at it when we were outside. Maybe tomorrow I will look if they would let me. "There are some shirts for girls in the closet. You can stay in here the meantime. Maybe tomorrow I would buy you some new clothes. You can rest in here for now," Rod said to me happily. As he was standing at the door, I sat down on the soft bed here in the guest room. "I will! Thank you!" I thankfully said to him. "I will leave so you could rest," he replied as he says goodbye. I just nodded and let me close the door. I lay down on my bed and think about what Blaike told me earlier. FLASHBACK "What is your name?" he asked me coldly. Then he started the car engine and drove off. He just focus on the road, while he was driving. I just experience a tough situation. But he still waited for my answer. "A-ayeisha," I said in a frightened tone. "Ayeisha?" he calls me. "That is a beautiful name of yours, like you," he praises me. I look at him, I know he can feel that I was looking at his eyes. But he just let me stare at him for minutes. When he glanced at me, I looks away. I know he just wanted me, to feel secure and comfortable. I still had a trauma because of that day. "T-thank you," I said happily. I looked at him for a second then smiled. A half-hour later, we arrive at his mansion. The guards opened the gate for us. He parked my car and opened the car door for me. "Let's go inside! It is my mansion, feel at home, dont be shy. I know you are hungry, let us eat inside," he offered to me. I just keep quiet and nodded to him. I just took a deep breath and sigh. I think I think he was gonna need more patience with me. He just smiled at her and walked inside his mansion. I just followed me inside. Someone was waiting for him on the couch. ************************************** "What is your name?" I asked them, then smile. "Rod! Im gonna go first. Just take care of her," he said to Rod coldly. I looked at him. Did he just say take care of me? Is that mean he cares for me? He is the first man to say that to me. I have never experienced being treated like this. They help me even if they dont know me. It means they have trust in me. I just looked at, him while he was walking away. END OF FLASHBACK "I think I fall in love with him. It was love at first sight," I said to myself. Then hold my face that was now turning red because I am blushing, thinking of that kind of idea.
