NOT LETTING GO

"Careful" Dylan whispered as he watched Damien carefully carry his dear wife out of the car. 

"Do you really think I'm going to let her fall?" Damien asked with raised brows as he looked at Dylan. The girl looked so small in his arms, her small petite body looked so fragile right now. 

"Tsk...just be careful" Dylan said as he closed the door behind him. 

Damien didn't say anything, he had his eyes fixed on her face for a while as he watched her, he could feel her warm breath on his chest. A few minutes ago she fainted, he had no idea why or how it happened, one minute she was panicking and the next she was falling. He was lucky to catch her before her body could hit the ground but it was at the expense of his phone. 

All that didn't matter, as long as she was not hurt, his plan to get them out of the elevator worked really well. Even though Selena was unconscious the entire time and he had to carry her in his arms, he still managed to get them out. 

"How long?" Damien asked as he began walking slowly, trying not to wake the girl from her slumber. 

"He said he'll be here in twenty minutes" Dylan answered as he read the last message he got from Joe. 

"He?" Damien asked with raised brows as he then paused to look at Dylan. 

"Oh come on, Joe is a friend" Dylan said as he slipped his phone back in his pocket. 

Damien didn't say anything else and just continued walking, he got to the door and then Alfred came out right on time. 

"Oh dear" The old man exclaimed when he saw the scene before him. 

"Oh I have missed you" Dylan said as he quickly pulled Alfred in for a hug, he held the old man tightly and squeezed him in. 

Damien just walked pass the both of them without a word, he had seen enough drama for today. Damien walked towards the elevator and then paused, he was about to go in but then he remembered the incident that happened earlier. He made a U turn and decided to take the stairs. 

He carefully climbed each step and made sure not to miss a step.

"Heyyyyyyyy" Dylan yelled from where he stood as he waved his hands in the air. "You are..." he couldn't finish his words when he received a deadly glare from Damien. 

Dylan made a sign of him zipping his lips and throwing the keys away, he raised his hands up in defeat. "Jeez" Dylan mummured to himself before going back to meet Alfred.

"What happened?" Alfred asked, for a old man his curiosity was still at peak. 

"I don't really know, he called asking for help and some other stuff" Dylan said as he took a sit on the dining. "I don't really know exactly what happened" Dylan said honestly as he opened the first dish and served himself. 

"She's causing him trouble" Alfred couldn't help but say as he glanced at the stairs one more time before looking at Dylan again. 

"I won't say that exactly" Dylan said as he took a bite and savoured the taste on his tongue for a few seconds. "Damien is the one causing trouble for himself" Dylan added. "But I am happy, Selena seems nice, even though I've not really had the chance to talk to her yet" Dylan said and then shrugged.

"I don't like her" Alfred said as he helped Dylan serve his food. 

"Ha ha ha" Dylan laughed when he heard the old man's words. "I was expecting you to be happy for him Alfred, I wasn't expecting this from you at all" Dylan said followed by another laugh. "Or perhaps you are jealous" Dylan teased. 

"Ouch" Dylan cried in pain when he received a hit on his head. 

"Stop spouting nonsense" Alfred said with a strict tone. 

"Ha ha ha" Dylan laughed again. "Hey, we both know Damien very well, if he's interested then there must be something about her. Damien is smart, he's not going to make the wrong decision, I'm sure he knows what he's doing". Dylan assured him. "Now let me eat in peace, you are both stressing me out" Dylan complained as he positioned himself and focused on his food. 

Alfred sighed and shook his head, he looked at the boy with a small smile on his lips, he had watch him grow from when he was a little boy, now he was all grown up. Perhaps maybe there was some truth to Dylan's words, it could be jealousy, maybe or his instincts were acting up again, whatever it was, he just hoped for the best. 

 ...........

Damien had his legs crossed as he sat down on the couch, he looked at the girl still sleeping on the bed. She looked peaceful, calm, he could remember the look on her face when they got in the elevator, the panicked expression on her face. 

He wondered what it was this time, the girl had so many secrets and he wondered if he would ever get to know all of it. 

Damien got up from the couch and walked closer to her bed, he had his arms folded as he stood in front of her. He watched her crease her brows, the expression on her face looked funny and Damien couldn't help but chuckle. 

But still he had a lot on his mind, they had barely escaped those guys today, if not for Dylan who came in right on time. His driver was lying on the ground unconscious, it seemed like the guys got to him before they did. 

'whats the point of all this?' Damien asked himself in his thoughts. 

The agency seemed really adamant to catch her, all for what? Damien had asked himself the question several times. But he thought it would be best to ask her instead, maybe not today, she had a lot of explanation to give today. 

"Mmmm"

Damien heard her make a sound as she turned, he saw her eyes flutter open as she blinked severally trying to adjust to the rooms lighting. 

Damien watched her every move, he couldn't take his eyes off her, not that he wanted to. He couldn't resist the urge and so he leaned closer and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
