Courageous(Can i love again?)

Chapter 23

Keira's POV

I squeal because of so much excitement. I run like a child towards the part of the beach where the water is glowing. I feel like I'm a child again. It's amazing, I can't believe I'm gonna see one tonight.

My heartbeat is speeding so fast because of so much happiness. I approached the water and touched it. My hands are literally glowing right now. It's a very breathtaking view, I'm so happy. I'm a little tearful because of so much joy. One of my greatest wishes came true tonight, and I am beyond happy because of it.

"Thank you !!! Wohooo!" I shouted when I could no longer contain the joy I was feeling.

Wow. Just wow. I'm really glad I've got the chance to see this. It's like a million stars are in front of me right now. I feel like I'm in some kind of a galaxy. And I can reach the stars, it's so beautiful.

I wish my parents and Kate are here to see this too. But I'm all alone with this amazing view in front of me.

"I hope you are all here. Mom, Dad, Kate. It's so much more if you're all here. But guess what, I'm all alone with these amazing stars in the ocean" I told to myself I was still a little laughing but also a little sad. Someone cleared their throat then spoke.

"You're not alone" He said, I immediately looked at who it was. He smiled at me so I smiled at him too then I looked at the water again. He sat down next to me and sighed.

"I saw this view so many times, but it didn't failed to make me wow every time" He said, that makes me smile.

"I'm not gonna get bored just by staring at it. This is one of my greatest wishes or maybe a dream since the day I survived and get a chance at life again" I said, not minding what I was saying, I was just whispering the last words I said so I'm not sure if he heard that too.

"I'm glad your dream came true" He said so I looked at him and smiled. A moment of silence passed when he spoke.

"Wait, what do you mean by you survived and have a chance at life again? I heard you." He said so I suddenly turned to him but I also avoided it immediately. We're not that close for me to open up to him about what happened.

The tabloid knows that I had illness before but they don't know what it is, they just know that I survived. The only people who knew about what happened to me are my parents, Kate, Uncle Victor and of course my doctors who took good care of me. My parents made my case confidential so that it would not be brought up again, because I was in so much pain during those times. It hurts to think about it, but it also reminds me that I survive that I make it and I won and that makes me who I am right now.

"It's okay, you don't need to tell me yet" He said and laughed a little, I looked at him again and smiled a little.

"You can't sleep?" He asked me, I simply nodded without looking at him.

"Keira, about what happened earlier, I'm sorry" He said so I looked at him, he looked sincere but I just laughed at him.

"It's fine, I know what kind of a man you are. You're a jerk" I said with a laugh, he also laughed at what I said and was not annoyed. I didn't get irritated by him at this moment, it feels like we've known each other like we're friends, just like that. And I like it.

"What do you wanna do to the one spying on us? Do you want me to kick him out?" He asked me. I sigh then I looked at him and spoke.

"No, just let him be. Let him do his job, while we're doing our job too. Which is to give my parents satisfaction do this whole honeymoon thingy" I said while swaying my hands in the ocean.

"Really?" He asked again as if he couldn't believe what I said. I nod.

"So, are we going to do the--" I interrupted him by raising my hand in front of him because I already know what will come out of his mouth.

"Not gonna happen Mr. Viglianco. Don't be so full of yourself. You're not getting it. It's just an act for my parents." I said with a smirk.

"Ohh" He said sounding so defeated.

"Well then, Mrs. Viglianco, if that's what you want" He said so I looked at him and laughed then shook my head. Like literally I feel comfortable with him tonight, I don't know why. Maybe because I'm in a good mood because of this glowing water or there is something else. I'm not irritated with him either and he's irritated with me either.

We spend that night laughing with each other, he's like a gossip king also he has more chika than Kate, so I laugh a lot with him. I don't even know that he has that side, a funny side of him. He lets me to see that side of him, and I'm glad I had a chance to see that. Maybe tomorrow the wind will blow again and he will return to his annoying self.

I can't believe that sometimes we really get along, sometimes on just nonsense. There is one time that we agreed to prank the staff on the island because we were so bored, we put fake snakes in the kitchen where they were all busy. We're like back in our childhood times when they caught us, the two of us just ran like children. We had so much fun, I didn't even think that I would enjoy it with him anyway.

At the plane.

"Hey, you okay?" He ask me with a smile, I smiled at him too and said "Yes, I'm excited to go back home" He nods.

I stared at him busy looking out the window. It makes me wonder if we come back, will he return to the way he used to be, the annoying and very arrogant man. He caught me staring at him.

"You're drooling" He said with a grin. I rolled my eyes at him and said "You wish" Then he just laugh at me.

Hours passed and we landed finally. Hello, New York again. I'm gonna miss that place.

"Why the long face?" He asked, I didn't notice that he had come down and was already beside me. I was surprised because of his height, I am also tall but he is taller than me.

I shrug and said "Nothing, I'm just tired" He nods then spoke again.

"Are you coming home with me?" He asks so suddenly.
