LOVE LIKE NO OTHER

will something change?

ERIC's POV:

It's been one week since we came and stayed at the hill House, I felt so secure cause Eliza was around me, breathing fine. I still need to figure out who is behind all this chaos, I need to find that bastard and show him the hell.

I was lost in thoughts then I saw Eliza walking towards me. My heart was beating so fastly. She was so simple yet so majestically beautiful. I was admiring her beauty, her face had no make up and it was glowing so well, when the sunshine fell on one side of her face making her eyes look like sparkling diamonds. Omg I love this woman. I'm so glad that we crossed paths again and the very moment I met her again I knew it, she is the one I'm gonna end up with.

She slowly uttered "I was thinking of may- maybe going out for sometime, it's been a week and I'm feeling kind of suffocated staying inside for so long" and looked up at me, her beautiful sparkling eyes met mine and I realised how much she means to my heart. She is so fucking magical. I can't deny her requests at any cost.

We decided to drive to the nearest town and just walk around the market buying local stuff. Eliza was wearing a very simple floral dress and she was so so so pretty. The drive to the nearest town was about an hour.

ELIZA'S and Eric's outfit :

I parked the car and turned around to see Eliza who was mesmerized by the view she was seeing. The town was full of greenery, the scenery was die for but for me it was Eliza who was more beautiful. I called out her name, she turned back and looked at me, her beautiful hair doing a little dance move as she turned around. I was in awe. "Oh ohhhh we reached!!!!! I was so into the scenery I almost forgot that we are already here" she said looking so lost. "I can understand, it's beautiful isn't it?" I questioned her making sure she would understand I'm talking about the scenery but I meant it's you who's beautiful. She remained silent and we got out of the car.

The town :

ELIZA'S POV :

The local market was so captivating. I really enjoy cheap stuff as I don't have much money to purchase them. I didn't buy anything. Eric kept asking me to buy something I like but I was so embarrassed to buy with his money. As we walked around I found a very little stall where an old lady was selling handmade tiny necklaces. I was so astonished to see how beautiful they were. I was so closely looking at the details and then Eric said "You wanna buy it?" I flinched a little and let out a little giggle, replying to him, "I'm not sure, but it's so pretty" . It was so beautiful that my heart was so into it. "Don't think too much now, common, let's just buy it" Eric said. He takes out his wallet and pays the old lady a little extra and frown lines appear on my face questioning his actions "cause you liked her little piece of art, I assume it should be appreciated" he said and started smiling and then laughing in joy. I was not expecting that. The old lady blessed us both and said "your boyfriend is an amazing man" . The joyous moment suddenly changed into an awkward moment. I slowly in very low tone replied to her "we're just friends" for which she said "just for now" I looked at her face and she seemed so confident about what she said and I was taken aback by her confidence. "Ahem ahem, let's get going" said Eric and I followed him as he said, and I waved goodbye to the old lady.

The handmade necklace :

We were still in that awkward moment when finally Eric broke it by asking me "let's have some coffee before heading home". He was holding the package which had the necklace and he was now holding my hand too making me cross the road. The town was so small that the roads were so tiny and beautiful. We sat outside a cafè, Eric ordered coffee for both of us. The order was placed on our table and my green mocha was so delicious, the moment I sipped it I felt heavenly. "Let me help you wear the necklace," Eric said as he took out the necklace from the package and started leaning towards me. I felt butterflies in my tummy. I gently placed my cup on the table as he leaned and I just let him do it. His Cologne was so strong and seducing. He then sits back on his seat and he looks at me with dear eyes and says "it's mesmerizing" I chuckle and ask "me or the necklace?", "The necklace on you" he says, making me all blush.

We were staring at each other with utmost love, we were having our moment until a waiter approached us for the bill payment. Eric pays the bill with his credit card and we walk out of the cafè holding our hands to cross the road again but this time he didn't let go of my hand and we kept walking on the lush green grasslands. This town was so beautiful. I was at peace.

We were walking holding hands and he was about to say something, just then we heard gun firing sounds and we ran, it felt like a dream and I did not understand what was happening around us. I ask him "what's happening, is someone back at me again?!" He simply asks me to run. We ran so much after which I was annoyed. I stopped him from running and took my hands out from his and asked him in annoyance "I can't do it anymore, what's happening??, why is someone back at me??, I never did anything bad to anyone......." I start breathing heavily and blackness takes over my eyes.

ERIC'S POV :

The bullets' sound made me flinch so bad, I wanted to kill that motherfucker. I had the same question Eliza asked me why is someone back of her, she never did anything bad to anyone. She was now breathing heavily, I was about to get hold of her tiny waist and then she just melted into my arms. I was now carrying her in bridal style and I walked inside the house. I didn't know who the owner was, I would just kill him or buy the house if the owner would piss me off.

I was so scared now, I had no gun with me, it was in my car and I can't leave Eliza all alone in this situation, she was still unconscious so I took my phone out and called my men.

It was already three hours and I saw no-one around, not even the house owner. I was questioning everything in my mind. I decided to take Eliza home as there is no noise coming from outside and she needs to rest. I held her in bridal style and walked towards the car in tension and drove to the city cause it was now not safe to stay at the hill House.

We reached home after a very long drive and in between I kept checking on Eliza, she was still unconscious. It was 11pm in the night. I decided to take her into my mansion where the security is also very tight. She is safe now and that's all I needed. I laid down beside her and felt at peace.
