Reason Why...

"Everything is different, confusing I...I don't know what to do or believe " she cried.

"Am sorry this is all my fault " he said.

"No, it's not... it's my fault for being so weak. That I can't accept what is going on around me " she let out.

"Mila it's okay to feel this way, just please don't keep it inside you..tell me " he said kissing her forehead.

"Mmm," she drew breath holding him.

He held her.. until her tears stopped falling.

She looked up at him and he gazed back at her.

"Will you change too, after everything am scared that everything I hold dear will fade away " she said.

"I won't " he spoke.

"Damien, am terrified and I don't even know why " she cried.

He could feel her body tremble even under his touch.

"Mila breathe and listen to my voice " he held her his mouth at her ear.

She closed her eyes listening to him.

"I promise you this, that no matter what you will always have me by your side " he said.

She cried holding him.

.....

Mila sat in the car leaning on Damien. He had decided to take her out for dinner instead of having one at home.

She sighed holding his arm. The car stopped and Damien muttered.

"Mila we are here " he said.

She looked up and beamed. It was her favourite restaurant.

"This is.." she smiled. He carried her out.

He noticed her smile and breathed.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Someone told me, she's waiting inside " he said heading in.

"Sam is here" she asked. It was only she who knew about it, cause they always came together after their payday and ate everything she wanted.

Her eyes spotted Sam who stood up and waved at them. She blinked seeing Mila being carried in my Damien.

Even in his arms, Mila looked so small, Damein was huge.

They got to their table and he gently placed her down. Sam hugged Mila instantly.

"I missed you " she cried.

"I missed you too " cried Mila.

Damien sat back and watched them.

Mila noticed and pulled away from Sam.

"Thank you," she said to him.

"Feel better?" he asked.

She nodded," And hungry "

He called for the waiter.

"Go ahead then," he said to her.

She made her order, Sam followed then turned to him.

"You too," she said.

"Order for me then," he said.

She looked down and did.

"What happened to your leg?" asked Sam.

"Oh am clumsy so I fell down the stairs when I missed a step" she lied.

"Oh my be careful," she said. Sam leaned down to Mila whispering," I thought rich people have elevators instead of stairs in their homes?"

Mila chuckled," What are you saying, Sam".

"I do, but that's a different home," he said.

They both turned to him," You do?" muttered Sam.

He nodded.

"Mila we can move there if you prefer that " he said.

"No, am good anywhere " she said.

Ok"Come on Mila. With an elevator you can move freely with your injury and avoid falling down the stairs again" said Sam.

"Ahh..." Mila's eyes fluttered.

"Mila " Damien said.

"No am okay with this one " she said.

"But why with the other you can..." Mila stopped her.

"Cause I enjoy being carried around by him" she let out.

Sam and Damein gazed at her and Mila's face changed colour. She looked away.

"Oh that is some valid reason...strongly support it " Sam giggled.

Damien smiled.
