Shine Extra Large

The Runaway

Archer's POV

"I SAID YOU CANT GO THERE ELEANOR" I realised my voice, startling the girl in front of me. Her face showed the same expression she used to have  back then when I treated her like- she didn't even deserve it. I realised my mistake and took deep breaths while calming myself down. I cannot let her go there, I cannot let her know just yet.

I cannot be the same monster again. I know I have down wrong, I know taking away her most precious thing was wrong, but it was necessary. Now I need to take the thought of going to Gellers corp out of her head. "Ella- I am sorry-I" before I could continue she placed her hand on my arm and said "It's alright, you don't need to apologise". I took a mental sigh of relief. "So Mr. Kingstone- where are we going?" She asked, this time entangling her hands in mine. This felt good. This was comfortable. She was my comfort.

I smiled at her excited figure who was babbling about her day and how excited she was for the the Carnival tonight. Today at the carnival, my dad will hand me over the throne of his business. Till then I wish she could just wait. After today no problem will ever come in the way of my loved ones.

"Do you wanna eat donut or a bagel?" I asked her who was putting on her her car seatbelt. "Ohh- maybe a donut! I am not a really big bagel fan" she said while scrunching her nose up a bit.

Cute!

I was kind of happy that she chose the donut, because the best bagel cafe is like two blocks away from Gellers corp. I started the engine and we drove off. Ella kept staring at her phone,texting the very Famous Mr. A. That person annoys me the most. Like I am right beside her and instead of talking to me, she is busy texting a person who is not even here and she still didn't meet him.

I promised her not to get jealous over Mr.A, but it's soo annoying that he gets all the attention when Ella clearly sees him only as a friend.  I sighed. I can't control her life, but I hope this Mr. A is not some dick head playing with her.

Aren't you doing the same with her, dickhead?" The voice in my head spoke, but I'll make everything alright once I get my hands completely over the Kingstone Business. I'll give her back everything. I sighed again.

"Hey Archer you alright ? You are sighing a lot !" She said splicing her hand on my cheek. It feels warm. I smiled looking at her then back at the road. I am fine Ella just work. She moved her hand from my cheek to my head. "You are a good guy Archer! You'll be fine" she said and patted my head as if I was a small kid. I giggled under her touch. She'll be a great mom. A great mom my kids gonna have. This thought made me smirk.

"Woah! Now you are smirking! What's up in that evil mind of yours Mr. Kingstone" she asked smirking as well. My smirk grew as we stopped in the traffic. "you'll know soon enough soon to be Mrs. Kingstone" . Making her smile. I loves when she gets shy and looks away from me.

Eleanor's pov.

Oh my god! What did he just say again! I cannot look at him right now. It's soo hard to not to smile. He does know he holds power on me, but right now I have more important thing to check. I purposely choose donuts as I knew that would make me less suspicious about ditching him. I also know he is gonna be soo hurt  and worried when I leave him and go but I'll come back and explain him everything. I know he'll understand how important this is to me. Maybe he got mad at me before because he wanted to spend time with me right? Right?

We reached our destination after a long ride. It's almost afternoon. I got out of the car with him. I don't really mind chivalry, but I don't like him always opening doors for me. I have hands to open them myself. I tangled my arms around his and we entered the cafe called AUROMAA's . This place is well known for its donuts. Especially the hazelnut and chocolate. I sat on one of the tables near the window and looked outside while Archer when to order.

My mind might look at peace by the way I am right now, but Audrey's words were like bullets fired in my brain. It's like telling me to wake up from this love fantasy and going back being my pathetic self. I don't want to!. I love this life. I have a guy who loves me. Friends who treasure me and mom who is minding her business for once in her life time.

"Ella you seem stressed! What's wrong ?" Getting pulled back from my thoughts I saw archer I'm front of me with a very worried expression. I curved up my lips and held his hand. " just wondering whether we can make it to the school festival before it starts". I said and he chuckled. "Don't worry, if we take the back highway road then we'll be there before time" he said and I mentally clapped. Thanks for telling me the shortcut!

I am nervous wreck right now. I need to get out of here soon as possible. Archer was busy on a call with someone related to work. I thought of it as a good opportunity to slip away. The donuts were untouched. I feel soo bad doing this, but I promise to make it up to him. I slowly moved out of the seat and the moment I got up archer turned his back, and gave me a questioning look.

I quickly pointed towards the washroom and he nodded. He turned his back again at me and I quickly moved out of the cafe. Without wasting a single second I grabbed a taxi and asked him to take me to Geller's Corp and with the back highway road.

The moment the taxi passed from the same cafe, I saw Archer sitting at our table looking towards the direction of washroom. It was a short glance, but I saw him waiting for me. My heart ached doing this, but he wouldn't take me there to check of Audrey's right or wrong. Until this is cleared that Archer didn't cheat on me and isn't faking any of our love, I won't be at peace.

After what it felt like 15 minutes, my phone rang like crazy. I knew who it was. I looked at the called id and bit my lower lip. I kept rejecting the call, but my phone was getting mad and if I told him where I am and what I am about to do, he'll come and get me. I switched off my phone after sending him a 'I am fine' text so he'll worry a little less.

Soon I could see a huge glass building with Geller written on it. It reminded me of my dad. I smiled looking at it. I got out of the taxi and paid. There you go Audrey, I'll prove you wrong and shut your mouth for once n for all.

I proudly walked in and and went to my office. I was actually excited to see it after long  as because of school I was managing it from my house. I walked out of the elevator, and I could see my employees looked surprised to see me suddenly there, but they didn't greet me. I stood there confused. My confidence was cracking up a little, till I met gazes with my Finance Manager. I waved at him, but he seemed shocked as well. I bulid up the cracked confidence and moved closer to him.

"How are you doing Mateus?" I asked him. He smiled at me and said " I am doing great how is school?" He asked . I nodded my head in confirmation that it's cool.

" So tell me did you clean my office while I was away or I'll have to clean it now" I joked while walking along with him. He stopped in his trackes. I looked back at him.

"Your office? Did Mr. Archer Kingstone transfer the company back to you Ms. Geller ?"
