NATURALLY DRAWN TO HER

As I entered her ward she was sleeping soundly but then she fussed in her slumber. And slowly fluttered her eyes open.

B.. Boss. (She said trying to sit up)

Stay put. ( He commanded, earning a scared look from her)

Did I do something wrong??

No, you didn't, but why didn't you tell me you were just discharged? ( he spoke staring deep into my eyes with his crystal blue eyes.)

You're. My boss so I just can't run to you and inform you.

You are insanely wrong. What if something happened to you? ( he asked calmly with a raised brow)

But nothing happened (She said looking away,) besides I don't have any family to explain to if something went wrong.

Can you listen to yourself?

So because you don't have a family member or anyone dear to you, you want to die?? Don't be stupid Nalani you were given a second chance at life so make good use of it.

So easy for you to say. Look at me, I don't remember anything. Nothing at all, not my favourite colour, not my favourite food, not even if I had a friend somewhere. I don't even feel comfortable in my apartment, it feels empty, I don't have any pictures, and I don't have anything to show for it. I don't even know why I have this hair colour and this type of eye colour. Did I inherit them from my parents? Okay, I can't even tell because I don't have even a single picture of them or myself. Just because I act calm doesn't mean I'm ok, because I'm not, and that job is the only distraction I have. ( She explained in tears, the frustration was clear in her eyes)

Sighs ( I walked to where she was and sat next to her, took her hands) If not for anyone stay alive strong and happy for me.

(Pulling her hands away, she looks at me shocked) B..but you're my boss.

Calm down! Yes, I'm your bus but let me be your friend.

Why?

Because I care!

But you don't even know me.

I don't need to know you, to be your friend. Besides it's just friendship. So you have nothing to worry about.

Are you sure?

Yes! Quit asking unnecessary questions, will you?

I'm sorry.

No big deal.

So what's your name?

Logan.

Logan?. (The name sounds very familiar actually)

Yeah so when we're alone you can address me as Logan, but at work, keep it professional.

Noted! ( she nodded with a smile)

Did you take your drugs today?

Umm... No! I forgot to, because...

You wanted to secure your job on the first day. ( I completed her statement knowing the kind of boss I am to my employees)

Yes.

Next time don't leave for work without taking them. ( I warned)

Yes sir.

Quit calling me that. ( He said pulling off the Jacket of his suit and placing it on the chair, I couldn't help but swallow at the view. Now I understand why Amanda is that drawn to him, turning to look at her, she was all red like a tomato. Usually, I get pissed when women look at me like that, but.. Somehow I feel okay with her, rather I'm drawn to her naturally. There's no tension just something weird that I can't explain.)

Mm-hmm ( clears throat) So what will you like to eat?

I don't know .. anything will be fine.

Okay. ( he took out his phone and ordered food for us. Kt arrived 30 minutes later and we ate quietly. The doctor asked me to spend the night in the hospital and go home the next day. Logan didn't leave he decided to stay for the night, I tried protesting but he insisted.)

Just sleep, I'll use the couch.

Are you sure about that? We can share the bed you know.

No, it's fine! (He rejected calmly.)

In an hour I slept off, while he was manipulating his phone.

(Turning towards the bed I noticed she was already sleeping. I smiled and sat down, then stared at her face) You are very beautiful Nalani!

Thank you she answers in her sleep.

You're such a sneaky kitten. ( I commented on her sleepy face, and then I adjusted my sleeping position. And slept too.

Only to feel a shadow pass by me, an hour later. I stayed still, and suddenly he bent down to choke Nalani. I opened my eyes, pulled him to the side and swiftly snapped his neck. Staring at her still-sleeping figure. Who would want you dead Nalani? And why?? (I questioned myself within)

She stared in her sleep and opened her eyes.

Logan. What happened? Who's that? (She questioned with a scared look)

I'm sorry but you're getting discharged now! This place isn't safe for you. ( he said with finality)

I don't understand. What happened? Logan! ( she screamed my name)

Get dressed, we are leaving this place now. (Grabbing the dress he threw at me)

Can you step out for me to dress up?

No!

Then turn around and give me some privacy, will you?

Fine! ( he turned around and waited patiently)

I'm done.

Let's go (he said opening the door for me)

You had better explain everything to me.

I will ( was his short reply)

IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

You had better work on your security because if not I'll do something worse to it.

Mr Brooks, I'm very sorry

Don't give me that crap, I'm taking her home! ( he spoke with finality.)

But..( his words were caught short by the deadly stare he threw at him)

Where are we going to? ( I asked as we got to his car, it was a black Jeep!)

Get in and quit asking too many questions.

( I glared at him and got into the car)

I was thinking of taking her to my aunt's place but that'll be too risky for her and may make things worse for my aunt. So I decided to take her to my rest house on the outskirts of the town.
