Arrival

As I walk into the house, I saw a number of luxurious and exquisite things that surprisingly looked like it was really taken care of.

I then immediately asked him the question that I've been wanting to ask the moment he took me into this.

"Whose house is this? I asked while completely looking at him as his eyes found mine.

"Oh, this is where I stay for the time being".

"Sorry for accidentally bringing you here, my mind went blank and all I could think of was this". he explained and looked away embarrassed.

I could see that he was tensed about what had happened, so I decided to change the topic.

After a while, I noticed that he became more comfortable and less tense which made me relieved and at ease. Considering what happened earlier, which was completely understandable although I had never experienced anything similar.

"By the way, I was wondering why you come to the library often. Do you also like reading?". I asked as his eyes met mine once more.

He then chuckled. " Well, I do like reading. And i love the way it makes me feel, since it takes my mind off of unnecessary moments in life that I truly despise".

He replied as I decided to forget about calling him a big jerk, as I saw this side of him that's somehow similar to mine.

Time passed by qucick and it soon got darker and darker outside, we didn't even notice.

I then told him that I had to go home.

"I have to go now, it's really getting darker by the minute". I said as I pack up my things.

"Let me drive you home, it's too dangerous. Plus, it would put me at ease that you arrive home safely". he replied as he looked at me with his eyes that are so out of this world.

"O-ok sure". I suddenly stuttered just by looking at him. What am I even doing.

"What is with me today?". I asked myself as I was acting out of the ordinary.

--

A few minutes later, we finally arrived. Sucks to be at home alone though, you get use talking to yourself a lot. Kinda creepy but it really gets me through the day.

"Thank you for your time today, Nick. Hope we meet again" I said knowing to myself that a few hours ago I clearly wished not to see his face ever again.

"You're very much welcome, and I sure do hope we meet each other again" he replied with his face different from before. His demeanor, it was somehow sweet. Away from the stone-cold state he was in earlier in the day.

I then walked inside feeling exhausted than ever. Well I guess today wasn't as boring as the other days in my life.

And as I hit the bed, I also hit my snooze button which led me to sleeping like a baby. And this situation right here, it comes as rare as a blue moon.

Then morning came around, and I decided I would go around town to look for possible places that I could go to on days where life feels utterly dead to me.

And I was about to go out of the house when I suddenly got a call from mom. Interestingly odd for her to call me this early.

"Mom?" I asked on why she would call this time of the day when she is usually swamped with work.

"Lia, are you busy right now?". she asked with a hint of urgency in her voice.

"Well, I was suppose to go around town, why?". i replied.

"I need you to fetch Rian's dad. He's at the airport right now". She said as I slowly woke up from my still drowsy state.

I know he'll be there, because knowing him and his family for quite a stretch of years, he wouldn't go home without his son.

"They already arrived?". I asked.

"Mhm". She replied and I went straight out to start my car as if I was running for the olympics.

Few minutes later, I arrived and started to look for him, I mean them…gosh.

After a while, I finally saw them from a distance. Well, his son surely isn't with them i guess, I see him nowhere.

"Mr. Huxley?". I asked as his attention is now on me.

"Oh, Lia!". he said as he suddenly hugged me.. I was obviously shocked.

"I told your mom not to worry about us". he said as he smiled.

"No it's fine, I don't really mind". I said as I reassured him with a smile back.

But that smile soon faded as my whole body skipped beats. I saw him walking towards us, more mature, and it definitely looked like he really paid attention on making his body even more attractive. God, what am I even saying right now.

I guess that feeling never faded even one bit since if he left..
