His Finger Pointing At His Chest.

"I'd like to show you my favourite place. Would you mind?" Honestly, he wasn't the type of person who would ask permission to do something but for her, he would humble down himself to successfully get her.

"I'm fine with it. Just so you know, don't do anything foolish with me. I may look small compared to you, but I can disable you for a lifetime."

"Haha. I know and I promise I won't do anything against your will."

"Fine. Let's go." They went out for their car but Eva stopped in her track and looked around her.

"What's the matter?" John asked her while looking around them as well.

"Nothing." Eva waved her hand to drop the matter. Internally, she had a feeling that someone had been stalking her. It wasn't the first time either.

John felt it, too. He thought that someone was spying on him. "Let's go." He pulled her closer to him so that he can guard her if anything happens.

"What if we'll just go in my car and I'll send you back here after?

If that's okay with you." John spoke to her while half of his attention was around them for security. He can't allow anyone to cause harm to her.

Eva nudged his waist using her elbow with a deathly glare. "Just make sure you send me home. Remember, we aren't officially in a relationship."

"Yes ma'am. I know. I won't be fooling around." John responded with mischief towards her but he was actually serious with his words. If he said no, he would abide it for her even if he wanted to break it, he won't. For her sake.

He led Eva towards the passenger's seat and jogged his way towards the driver's seat after making sure that no one can attack her.

Eva fastened her seatbelt and rummaged her bag for her phone. She sent a message to Merry that she was going somewhere for a while to relax a little.

John drove the car out of the city for almost half an hour before they reached a suburb with much fresher air.

When the car stopped, Eva got down from the car, inhaling the fresh air, and cooling her lungs.

"This is amazing! I like it here," she mumbled with arms wide open, trying to take in as much air as she could.

John watched her for a while with a smile on his lips. He took out a thick shawl and approached her. He put on the shawl around her neck to keep her warm.

Eva was startled at first and had her guard up against him. "That's to keep you warm. What if you catch a cold?" John whispered upon sensing an alert mode from her.

"Thank you," she whispered back, burying her face in the shawl to hide her blush. no one really showed kindness to her after her mother's death. Still, she felt that John must be doing it for show.

"Let me show you the backyard. I am sure you'll like it, too." John didn't hold her hand but he walked at the same pace as her.

"Where are we by the way?" Eva asked while looking around the area.

There's a two-storey house where they parked the car in front of it because there was no garage for the car. There were vines climbing on the walls with so many flowers. It was magical. The flowers and trees gave it a fantasy vibe.

"This is my place. Well, I am renting the place." John scratched his head awkwardly. "It's not expensive since it's quite some distance from the city."

"I see. Well, you got a good deal here," she responded as she observed the place. When they reached the backyard, Eva was stunned by the view.

"You like it?" John spoke though it was clear from her reaction that she likes the place.

"I love this. Oh my god! This is amazing! Really amazing! The owner of this place got a nice view and the place was constructed beautifully. Wow!" she couldn't help but blabber on him.

"I'm glad you like it." he rubbed her head with glee. It wasn't just Eva who was shocked at his actions, John as well. He just acted without really thinking. "I'm sorry I messed up your hair." He combed her hair instead of using his fingers.

"It's okay," Eva whispered softly. She felt sleepy now that his fingers touched her scalp gently. It was like a massage for her. "Ah! Stop massaging my head!"Eva snapped at him which made John think she was upset before the next words rang into his ears, "You're making me sleepy. How can I enjoy the view now?"

John chuckled and stopped combing her hair. They stood side by side in silence while enjoying the view of the city lights. You could even see the sea with some ships littered it.

"I've always liked this kind of place. It gives me comfort and helped me relax. Thank you for bringing me here." Eva spoke before showing him her brightest smile. Whenever she smiles genuinely, her eyes would be smiling too.

John pulled out something from his pocket, took her hand and placed it on her palm. It was a set of keys.

"What's this for?" she already had an idea of what he was thinking but she wanted to know directly from him.

"If you feel sad or if you just want to see this view, you can visit this place anytime you want. This key is for the main entrance and this key is for the room with that balcony." He was pointing to the room above them which has a balcony overlooking the view.

"Aren't you afraid I would rob you off?" she asked him with a raised brow.

"What can a rich woman get from me? There's nothing you can rob inside. You can rob my heart if you want." he responded with a wide grin on his face, his finger pointing at his chest.

"Oh shut up! Two months.
