*Knock*

*Knock*

Eric opens the door half asleep to take the meal he ordered earlier that morning but gets surprised to see two beautiful girls instead.

"Huh? Won't you invite us?" Dahlia says.

Fully embarrassed Eric opens the door and lets them witness the mess he had made in just 3 days.

"What have you done to this place?!" Dahlia shouts like a concerned mother.

"You better tidy it up! We will help you," she insists as you nod.

"No need, I like it this way," he says lazily.

It doesn't take you long to guess his having a bad day. You hold his ear and make him face your way before saying, "It's rare we see Dahlia acting like a mommy, why are you missing the opportunity to see her mope the floor?"

Eric bursts out laughing and Dahlia glares at you.

He agreed to clear it up on one condition that you guys won't humble him with questions.

Neither Dahlia nor you asked Eric what happened. You were expecting him to talk when he feels ready.

Dahlia starts from the kitchen while you organize the pillows for his living room. "You haven't been to work, have you?" Dahlia says making it obvious he had locked himself up.

The pillar which had blood on it didn't go unnoticed by you, it made you worry about him more.

You walk out of the room and go to his bedroom where he is cleaning.

You slowly enter and whisper, "Eric? Is your ankle better now?" He turns as soon as he hears you.

Feeling exposed he takes a deep breath and nods.

You ask him for a medical box to cover his wound which he recklessly had kept uncovered.

He doesn't argue this time and lets you bandage his ankles.

Accidently, he finds himself admiring you, how your eyes are tracing his ankle, how you are folding the bandage, everything.

"Are you hearing me?" She asks knocking him out of his illusion.

He gets a bit worked up thinking what you are thinking but does his best at hiding it before responding, "Hm?"

You look into his eyes while asking, "Don't hurt yourself next time, promise me, ok?"

He couldn't help but nod at your words which are to make his heart pound a ton faster than it usually does.

Dahlia yells, "Your parcel is here, let's have breakfast my tummy has been feeling with mice."

---

"You better pay me a meal! I have done a huge favor!" Dahlia says exhausted after cleaning.

Eric rubs his neck while saying, "Will do, thanks, guys."

"Let's go watch a movie, it's already 5 pm," Dahlia suggests and all of you agree in a blink.

Later at night

The movie has been great, you are back in your place and scroll down social media when you come across Silas's new post.

Which makes it obvious that he is on the business trip that he planned to go on. You could not help but notice how generous he looked.

This time you aren't planning to wait for his return rather you will visit as soon as you are done with exams.

---

Time flies by and you finally get through your exams, that's when it bothers you, who has been paying your medical fees in the past?

You ask Dahlia only to get dumbfounded again as she doesn't know it.

Eric hesitates but confirms your doubt that it was Silas all along.

'Wanting to win over my sympathy? In your dreams,' you think to yourself.

You have been trying to short out your things ever since and since your diary has only the negative side of his, you can't bring yourself to like him at that point cause you didn't write at all after the kidnapping.

After a month the results were out and luckily you had your GPA in every subject which brings you to overjoy.

"Let's go have some fun today!" Dahlia screams.

You sigh before saying, "I will be going to visit him tomorrow, I cant. I have to pack my things."

"A little partying won't hurt, duh!" She insists nonstop until you agree to it.

You have been keeping a low profile in public so that no one creates a fuss but today you didn't think of that, you were going to enjoy yourself back and forth.

"Get ready before 8 o'clock!" She screams before banging your door hard.

'This girl is full of energy!' You think to yourself.

---

"I guess, she's wasted," Dahlia says, Eric nods and chuckles.

His chuckle was something girls would easily fall for.

All of a sudden you throw your arms around Eric and hug him. It isn't like you haven't hugged him before but this time it somehow felt different for him.

He padded your shoulder and indicates to Dahlia that they should leave now.

"Eric?" You whisper, sending shivers down every girl's dream guy, Eric's veins.

Within a blink, you twist and make him sit on a sofa nearby, completely unaware of what is coming next.

You sit on his lap playfully making his mind drive crazy and heart flattered.

"Y/N, please get up," Eric said looking down trying his best to keep himself calm.

He had never had a girl sit on his lap before and felt generously nervous.

But before he could look back you smash your lips on him making his heart beat faster than ever.

He couldn't bring back his sense to push you back either, shock takes over him.

He wasn't fully wasted but the alcohol seemed to kick harder meanwhile your lips did wonder upon his then you pull away and whisper in a shaky voice, "You like it?"

Neither of you was thinking straight as he nods, amazed by what happened just now.

He had kissed girls before but never felt this eager to taste them again.

You start playing with his hair, brushing his ear softly.

"Y/N, get up!" He says controlling himself cause he knew he would regret you once sobered up. Not that he would tell you about this either.

"Huh? Who are you handsome?" you say out of gaze which makes Eric surprised.

To be continued.
