Storm (4)
She calmed herself and collected the courage to get out of the cabin. She inhaled once more.
The sun ray welcome her to the upper deck. She rolled her eyes and also sees Dave preparing the food. This man can prepared the tabke for breakfast it gives him additional charm. She said to her mind.
With the sound of her footsteps Dave knew that it was Amber. He tried to smooth the situation by asking.
"You're up"
"Yeah" said Amber. She tack her right hand to the pocket of her pajama trying to be calm.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Hmmm"
"Come on lets have breakfast, you did not eat yesterday".
said by dave.
She clenched her fist and slowly she walked to the table without so much thought she sat down.
Seeing the breakfast was prepared carefully she seems delightful to eat. She held the spoon and pork and began to eat. Simple fied meat, sunny side up egg pair with fried rice, glass of milk and orange juice.
She wondered how this man prepared it in a nice setting. So like my father there is some men who will do this. She wants to smile but she stop her self.
She pulled the chair sit down and hold the utensil, Dave signed in relief.
He also sat down in the chair face to Amber.
Satisfied that she had an appetite for the food he began to eat also.
The atmosphere became warm at the table even though they did not talk to each other. This scenario was where Dave always dreams off.
Even though this was his own desire. He eats slowly and carefully trying to imprint this moment to his heart. He is also in a good mood to eat.
Soon Amber slowly drops her spoon and utensil. She is full. She wiped her mouth with the table napkin. And slowly getting up.
"Thank you for the food". she said trying to avoid eye contact with Dave.
Dave has a fast reflex and gives her a glass of warm water with white capsule of medicine.
"Here, you need to take this for you to recover more".
Amber fixed her eyes to the medicine not knowing what to do. Even though he guards me overnight still I can trust him... right?
Dave knows that she is hesitating so she persuades her.
"Come on you want me to help you drink the medicine just like night?" He also gives a playful smile on his lips.
Hearing that sentence Amber slowly clutches her pajama,
So he knew what happened yesterday night. "This man is unbelievable". She said to her self.
That scenario last night is shameful but he brings it on just like that. She gritted her teeth.
Without warning she gets the medicine and drops to her mouth. She also gets the glass of water in his hand. And turn around.
Dave knew what was Amber thinki before she passed by Dave caught her wrist. Have big palm clutch tightly and she tries to get loose, She adds more pressure to her hand but since Dave is stronger than her she looks like Dave with a question.
"What?"
Sensing her eyes that were direct to his, he tried to calm down and said.
"Enjoy the ambience here it will put your heart and mind at ease"
"No" without hesitation she answer.
"I'm not a bad person, just be calm." said Dave.
"Stop holding my wrist, As if we are that close". she said.
Feeling defeated by her sharp words Dave loosened her wrist. And slowly give in. He signed.
Amber doesn't want to talk she feels irritated. Once more she chose to sit down on the bench peacefully. She tries to calm her self by closing her eyes and not wanting to think.
Seeing this Dave get down to the lower deck.
When he came back she had a blanket.
He bent his body and covered it to her legs with a very slow move He didn't want to disturbed Amber.
That action almost frightened her. But as soon as the blanket is fixed Dave chooses to step backward. And turn around.
She opens her eyes and see hir reaction. So she continues to close her eyes once more.
Maybe because of the ambience or the medicine that she felt sleepy.
Dave knew that her breathing is stable that was the only time he could go near her. He chose to sit down on the nearby bench and fix his eyes to her.
Soon....
He recalled what happened when he was 7 years old and Amber is 6 years old.
