Mia’s POV
We were driving for some time before he pulled into a familiar place. It was my favourite diner in the city. Usually my parents and Olivia doesn’t like it if I were to come and eat here as they state its not our standard.
But the food here is amazing. Especially their pie and milkshake. It was something to die for. As I was in excitement, I didn’t realise my door opening.
The scary man had open the door for me. Without saying anything at all, we walked right in. And to top it all he went to my favourite seat. The window seat. The view of the city from there is amazing to say the least.
As we sat down I was still in shock. How did he know about this? Was this coincidence or did he actually know about it? But how.
“H-How did you know?” I asked astonished. He just chuckled. “Its a secret.” he said as he start reading the menu.
Just then Tanner, a 15 year old waiter came. “Hey Mia!” he cheered. “Hey Tanner. How ya doin?” I asked him. He just shrugged and chuckled.
I saw the scary man looking between us and smiling. Am I getting a flu? I dismissed it off. “Good evening Sir. What would you like to have?” he asked politely with a huge smile.
The next words that left his mouth shocked me. He ordered the same food that I order every time I come here. Ok what is going on?
Tanner who noticed this wiggles his eyebrows between us. I blushed and didn’t say anything. After taking down the order he went away.
I wanted to ask what’s going on. But I did not. I have a feeling I’m gonna have more surprises than this. “So, do you like wanna play game while we pass the time?” he asked in a soft voice. I was surprised when he spoke in that soft voice.
“Y-Yeah sure.” “What g-game?” I asked in curiosity. “can you see what I see” he said quickly. “O-Ok”
“I start. It’s red and white” he started. “And it has squares in it.” he finished. It was simple. “Table clothes”
“Right. Yours” I thought for awhile. “It has four legs and brown” I said. “Chair” we continued to play for sometime.
After a while, “Alright my turn. Its white, pink and red. Its soft and has great smell.” he said while looking behind me.
I turn around and looked behind. And my mouth went wide open. They were my favourite flowers. White, red and pink flowers. Tanner brought in the flowers as he handed it to him.
Reaching out he gave while smiling as bright as the day light. I couldn’t move for awhile. “Don’t you like them?” he asked as I saw a frown form in his face.
“No, no. They are my favourite” I said as I quickly took them. I smelled them, it was so intoxicating. I didn’t realise that he was staring at me.
“Thank you so much.” I said softly. “Welcome.” he said as he smiled at me. Sooner, the food came and we started to dig in.
He was enjoying the food just like me. After finishing the food, we had vanilla milkshake. They were heaven. Not only did I enjoyed it. But so did he.
Once we are done, we said goodbyes and left. It was a quiet yet comfortable ride back. I was exhausted. I slowly closed to my eyes and drift off.
“Amelia, wake up. We are here.” I heard someone calling me. I slowly opened my eyes. I realised I slept on the ride back.
I was blushing from embarrassment. He chuckled and helped me with my belt. I mumbled a small thank you. We both got down as he locked his car.
We both went back in together and went to our rooms. “Good night Amelia.” he said with a sleepy voice. I smiled. “Good night.” I said as I waved back.
I went back to my room to take a quick shower.
As I was about to go and sleep, I thought of going to the library to read a book before going to bed. As I reached the third floor, I turn to my left and saw the mystery door.
To astonishment, I saw the keys hanging on it. I wanted to take a peak inside. But it was rude intruding inside a person’s room.
I didn’t want to that. I decided I should lock the room and give him the keys without looking inside.
As I grabbed the door to lock, my legs tripped and I fell inside. I hit my head and my back against the floor. My head and elbows started to hurt.
I quickly got up and tried to go out when I saw the door was closed. I couldn’t see where I was so I searched for the switch against the wall. I tried to find the switch but couldn’t. I was about to give up when I felt the switch.
I hoorayed as I switch on the lights. Once I switch on the lights, the bright light blind my eyes. It took me some time to recover. As I opened my eyes, I was shocked. SO SHOCKED!
There were paintings. So many of them. But what shocked me was, they were all of ME! Each of them. I walked slowly towards them. Some of them were of me pouting and some of them were of me laughing and smiling.
Each of them held a emotion. So many of them. As I saw this, I don’t know why but I started to tear up. Why was I tearing up. I don’t know. But I was definitely overwhelmed.
Who drew all this? I questioned myself. Just then I heard a sound and turn back and see. The scary man was standing heavily panting. He stared right into my eyes while I did too.
There were so many emotions. Scared. anticipation. Worry. Fear. But what made me have goosebumps was the love in his eyes.
“D-Did you d-do all of t-this?” I asked as my lips trembled. “I can explain. Just listen to me.” he said as he took cautious steps towards me.
“Did you?” I asked again but with higher voice. He hung his head. “Yes. Yes it was me.” he said in a voice I can barely hear.
“Why?” I asked in questioning tone. He looked up at me and chuckled.
“Why? Why? ” he said in a mocking tone.
“Its because I love you damn it.” he said as he run his finger over his hair.
“I love you so much but you never know. Why do you think I wanted to marry you instead of your sister. Why did you think I came to your house constantly?” he asked as he start to raise his voice.
“Why me?” I asked in a timid voice. He laughed a humorous laugh. “You tell me. Why did I search the entire mall searching for you like a mad man.
Why did I yearn to just hear your voice. Why does my heart start beating like a race car whenever I see you? why do I get so jealous and mad when I see other men making you blush? Why am I willing to do anything for you?
You tell me!” he asked in a absurd voice. More tears start to flow when I hear this. Without saying anything else he walked off. I fell to the floor once he told me this. What is going on. What have I done?
All this time he was in love with me and how did I not see this? Am I that blind? What is going on with me?
I sat for awhile before I stood up and left the room. I went down and instead of going to my room, my legs went to his.
As I stood in front of his room, I wiped away my tears. I slowly made my way inside. I saw him standing on his balcony. I went there and did the only thing that came into my mind. I hugged him.
I didn’t know what else to do. When I did this his body tensed before he relaxed. We stood there for a few seconds before I asked the question that was digging my mind.
“Why didn’t you say so?” I asked so softly I doubt that he heard. He slowly turn around. And brought me to sit down.
He crouched in front of me before he started to talk. “When I first met you, I have fallen so deeply with you. Your eyes, gosh they were so mesmerizing and innocent.” He said as I blushed.
“But I wanted to avoid you. I didn’t want to let you in.” he said and I gave him the questioning look. “You were so innocent. So beautiful. I thought I didn’t deserve an angel like you. You didn’t deserve a monster like me.”
When he said that he looked down. My hands automatically made him face me as he smiled at me. “But then I saw you again at your house and I couldn’t help myself. There you were, all drenched in the rain like a small girl.”
This made me embarrassed. He just chuckled. “I couldn’t get you out of my mind. The next day when I saw you again in the mall, I was once again whipped.” he said as I laughed.
“Then again when I saw the stupid waiter flirting with you, I lost it. I wanted to be the only one who made you laugh and smile and blush. That is when I decided you would be mine no matter what. ”
He said with a rough voice that sent chill down my body. “I knew you were the only angel who could tame this monster.”
