Alissa
Few days passed and Eric has promised me that he will catch that culprit who have done this kind of
thing with my sister. So, let's keep that topic aside for a few days and concentrate on the work. I believe
Eric and I know that he will make everything better. These days I really feel attracted towards Eric. I just
keep on staring at him most of the times. Today he caight me staring at him and when I diverted my
eyes he laughed and I felt so embarrassed. I just want to start so many things again. I want to just
make everything better.
Eric has called me in his cabin during the lunch time. I am just thinking what it possibly could be. These
nights I mostly think about Eric and start to laugh or blush. I feel like it is not normal. I don't act like this
normally. Hopefully, I don't have to get myself checked from a doctor. During the lunch I slowly made
my way towards Eric's cabin and knocked on his door. He allowed and I went in. He smiled when he
looked at me and I smiled too.
He got up from his chair and slowly made his way towards me.
"Wanna go to a restaurant for lunch?" He asked.
Oh!
"Oh! No. It's fine" I said. It would be awkward to go to lunch with your boss during your duty.
"No it's not fine. Come. Let's go" He said and went out of the cabin.
I followed him behind and soon we were standing in front of his car. He opened the passenger seat for
me and I gave him a sweet smile. He sat on the driver's seat and started the ignition. He drove to a
small and simple restaurant and we both enetered the restraunt. We went towards the receptionist. She
looked at Eric and her face light up. She gave him the biggest smile and pulled out the gum from her
mouth and threw it into the dustbin.
Disgusting!
Eric with a straight face said "Table for two"
She nodded and called for a waitress. The waitress guided us to our table. It was near the window so I
was happy with it. She was purposely trying to make a conversation with Eric but he was not even
listening to her. We both sat on our chairs and that waitress gave us the two menu cards and dismissed Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
herself.
"So, what do you want to have?" Eric asked casually, not looking like two girls have just tried to hit on
him.
I looked at the menu card not actually reading what was written cause I had already decided what I
want to eat.
"One cheese sandwich" I said and Eric nodded.
"Me too"
He called the waitress and gave her the orders. She winked at Eric and went away. I looked at her with
amusement. Eric just chuckled and said "It is my daily routine now"
I just nodded and I didn't know what to say. I am very bad in making conversation.
So, I just tried asking him about his family.
"So, that girl Cassandra is your sister?" I already knew that she was his sister but still I have to speak
something.
"Yeah" He said.
"So, you liked that night?" He asked
"Which night?"
"Amusement park" he said.
"Oh yeah! It was lovely"
"Very lovely" he looked straight into my eyes and said which caused to make me blush a little.
"You look cute when you blush" he said making me giggle.
"Stop it" I said in between my giggles and he laughed.
Soon our cheese sandwiches came and we both started eating. We didn't spoke for that mean time.
The waitress was coming over and over again just to keep an eye on Eric which was making my blood
boil now. How can one be so annoying? When we finished our lunch Eric got up to pay. I told him that I
will pay but he insisted.
We went out from the restraunt and went straight to the car. I wanted to talk to him but couldn't make
any conversation. Suddenly he brought his car to a halt. I looked at him and he was looking at me
through his intense eyes.
"Alissa I brought you here because I wanted to tell you something. But I couldn't. So now I am telling
you" He said.
I looked at him. There were million of thoughts which were roaming inside of my head. But, somewhere
in my heart I was hoping him to say that. I wanted him to say that.
"My fiance is arriving tomorrow. I wanted to tell you but couldn't get much time" He said.
What? I throat got dry. I lump grew up in my throat. My mind was completely and totally blank. Why
was he saying this? Why did he said this? Why did I expect something else? The world around me just
turned. Like, out of the blue he just said that. I wanted to hit my head on a wall. I was so stupid. I now
know I will never get what I want. And that is true love....
