32-Lost in you (Part-1)

"He killed her parents but left her..do you know why?" Brent said looking through the window which showed perfect view of outside.

"I don't know. If he would've killed her, there would be no heir left to claim his friend's property.. maybe he had much bigger plans than that." Shawn replied putting his hands in the pockets of his jacket

"We don't know what was the conflict between both friends but Suarez Cabello was a wise man...if Galitzine would've killed her too then all of his assets would be gone to trust so he had to keep her alive..you know what does that mean?" Brent asked again and a smirk appeared on Shawn's lips.

"He can't kill her, he had to keep her alive no matter what." He replied.

"You are smart enough to know what should be your next step and good luck for that." Brent said and Shawn took the clue to move away. Both crossed each other to walk in the opposite direction.

"I told you to stick to your place..why did you go there." Shawn scolded Camila as he caught her standing at the end of the corridor. Now they were walking towards Shawn's bike in parking.

"I-" She thought and paused. "Was getting bored so I moved there...By the way you didn't tell me where were you been." She said changing the topic.

"I went to meet an old friend of mine."

"Who?" She asked.

"You don't know." He spat as she took the seat behind him on bike. "We are going to get for a court marriage in couple of days."

"What? that's so early..I'm not ready."

"Camila it's not a real wedding, it's just a legal process and you don't need any preparation for that." He said with a serious face expression.

Camila didn't know why but his words made her upset. Sometimes he became so affectionate with her like she was the only girl for him or earth and other times, he behaved like he was just trying to help cause he pitied her which made her quite uncomfortable. There were also the moments when he got as cold as an ice with her. All of his mood swings were making Camila confused and anxious. She wanted him to clear himself but she didn't have the courage to ask.

Now when both were walking towards Shawn's apartment, Camila glanced at Shawn and couldn't help but think of this utterly handsome guy who like her or not? Did he want to date her for a matter of time or he took her seriously? He unlocked his apartment and stepped in to switch on the lights. He put the keys and went to kitchen to make something for dinner.

"Are you hungry?" He asked while taking out some bread from fridge. "Sorry I can only make a sandwich for you." He said glancing at Camila who was now sitting on the stool in front of counter.

"You don't need to..I made something when you weren't at home." She told him.

"If you think, I'm gonna trust your cooking skills..then you're completely wrong." He chuckled while putting vegetables and boiled eggs on the bread, spilling cream on it. "Here it is.." slipping the plate towards Camila, he started making one for himself.

"Hmm..it's so good." She moaned at the taste.

"I know." He said taking a bite from his own sandwich and noticed the breadcrumb with little cream stuck on the corner of her lips. He stretched his hand and wiped off the crumb from her mouth making Camila freeze at his sudden touch. He just grinned as her cheeks started blushing. They finished the rest in an awkward silence.

"I think you should go to your room now, I'll wash dishes." He said collecting the plates.

"It's your room Shawn.." She blurted out. Shawn turned to look at her with pinched eyebrows. "I mean..how long would you sleep on a couch..I don't like it." She said looking in her lap.
