LOVE AGAIN

***DAN’S POV***

I found her finally, I wonder what she is doing in a place like this. Could it be that she went on a date with some guy? I tried not to think about that.

She bursted into tears and started running towards me. I too ran towards me confused, I could see a man’s silhouette walking fast behind her in the dark so I thought maybe she was in trouble and the stranger was stalking her.

I didn’t see his face clearly until I got closer and found out he was Mr Prince.

What is he doing here? What are they doing here? Why is Val dresser like that , and why is her cheek swollen?

We met  and she hugged me , crying her heart out,

“Val, what are you doing here? A hotel as big as Glisters?”I asked so many questions at once, her body temperature was hot , I don’t know if asking questions will help for now.

Then Mr Prince approached us, I was still hugging Val.

“I will take care of her”.

He said pulling my hand off her, I was triggered at that move and I pushed him away as hard as I can.

“What the hell did you do to her!”

“I suggest you stay out of this”.

That bastard got the guts to tell me to stay out of what? Why did he say that in a calm tone, it’s so unlike him.

“The hell are you talking about? Haven’t you caused her enough pain, this is not your company and I swear I will hit you if you dare touch her again!”

I was so brave I forgot that I was actually yelling at my boss.

He was shocked at my statement, I noticed  there were tears on his cheeks too.

What the hell happened between these two?

“Dan, please take me home, please”,

Val sobbed on my shoulder.

I glared at Mr Prince for the last time and took her to the car, he didn’t try to stop us anymore.

“Are you comfortable there?”

I asked her as I entered the driver’s seat.

“Yes, thanks for coming through,”she said and made a throat pain sound, still sobbing. I sighed and took my sweater from the passenger’s seat. I had removed it earlier before going out of the car to look for her.

I gave it to her.

“It will keep you warn”,

She muttered thanks and put it on then lay back on the seats.

I don’t want to bother her anymore with my questions,

I started the engine, and Prince was still at the same spot, the breeze and rainfall playing with his shirt and abs.

That son of a bastardized man, I wonder if he seduced Val and took advantage of her.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

, I stole a glance at Val from the driver’s mirror.

She was still crying.

Val why are you so vulnerable to those bastards, haven’t you learned enough lessons?

She is always so eager for love and Luke and Prince?

Why on earth didn’t you mention this to me.

We have been friends with her for years, yet I never made an effort to take advantage of her.

If what I am thinking is for real then what about my feelings for her.

Does she feel the same way too? Probably not, I have a girlfriend and She will be the last person to get into someone’s relationship.

I sighed but now that I am no more with my girl, maybe I should…

I stared at her for some time through the driver’s mirror, she noticed, and I smiled back.

“How are you feeling now?”

“Better”, she replied.

I nodded gladly that she is feeling better.

I got to her place and parked my car.

“We are here”,

She groaned and sat up, I got out of the car to help her, but she was out by herself already.

“Thanks Dan, I owe you”,

“Enough of the thanks, I did what I had to, now let’s go in”, I suggested.

I sense fear in her eyes.

“I am sorry Dan but can I have this moment for myself only, i can take care of myself I will fine”.

“Are you sure?”I asked, hiding my disappointment.

She nodded slowly, she was probably scared of being too close with me tonight. I wonder what that bastard did to her but then I have to respect her choice.

“Alright don’t cry all night, he is not worth it” I said to her.

She slowly nodded and turned to the door.

I sighed and put my cold hands in my pocket, watched her enter the house and put in the lights before getting back to my car.
