Chapter 2

           I went back to my chair and continued reading, I don't like him near me so I never look where would he go except for that book section where my boss asked me not to let anyone go in because it is dangerous. So, I run into the hall and look for him. I found him there walking towards it, but I shout and ask him to stop. "Stop" but it was too late, the bars above started to fall so I jump towards him and cover his head. I got hit by the bars but it wasn't painful. We got stuck in the corner and I sit down exhaling fast because of what happened. "That was close." I look at him and said, "I would like to apologize for forgetting about this place. I should have told you about it to avoid this accident. I know that you cannot hurt yourself because you are a public figure." 

           Then he looked at me and said, "Oh that is alright. Also, I would like to appreciate the effort of saving me." He smiled. After our talk, his guard removes the bars around us. They help him get up and I stand up by myself. I was walking out when he gives me his hand, "here for support." He smiled. I look at him first and then I hold it. The students who are reading also look to know what happened. After that, I walk them to the room and give the man some first-aid. I asked him if he was alright and he said he is, but when I touch his shoulder, he winces. "Ahh!" "Well Mr. Famous you have a broken shoulder and some wound to cover that needs some first-aid," I ask his guard to wait outside including his manager, they insist to stay with him but I also insist to put them out so I can help him in his wound. 

          I ask him to remove his shirt so I can clean the wound on his back and turn around. Then while I was not looking, he suddenly laughs, "Why are you laughing?" I ask, then he replied, "because I think you haven't seen a man's body." I got irritated with his answer and look at him, he was standing in front of me and I look straight into his eyes. "What?" I spoke. Then he replied, "Just want to see your reaction" Then I ask him to sit down because he is a little taller than me. "Can you sit down; I need to clean your wound." Then he did what I ask and I clean his wound.

        While I was cleaning his wound, he suddenly asks me, "Well, I don't like the atmosphere so can I ask something?" "What is it?" "Could I ask you about your name?" "What for?" Then he smirks, "well, you seem to be interesting you know?" "How so?" I spoke. "Well, for starters, you don't know me. And that is somehow unbelievable. Second, even if you don't know me you save me. Why is that?" he said. While hearing his question and cleaning his wound I suddenly press the cotton in his wound and he winces. "I am sorry did it hurt?" "Yeah, a bit and I feel you did that on purpose." He spoke. 

        Then I smile and answer his question. "Well, I really don't know you because first, I don't watch television. I just want to work and pay for myself. Second, I save you because that is the right thing to do. Even if you are my worst enemy, I would still save you because it is the right thing to do and my conscience will not allow it." I said, then after covering his wound with a bandage, I help him put on his polo shirt and button it up. "Here, consider this as an apology help for being rude earlier," I said. Then when I look into his eyes, he was staring at me and said, "can I see you again?" I did not answer right away and just look into his blue eyes then I replied, "where would you like to see me?" "How about in a hotel? Tomorrow night, I cannot be seen in public as you probably know." He said smiling then I also smile and look down but I look into his eyes again and I replied, "well, I would love to." I smiled. 

       Then to my surprise, he suddenly kissed me. I tried to push him away but I just can't ignore him until he stops. He looks into my eyes and he stands up. "Well thank you for the help and for covering my wound let's meet again." He closed the door, and after a minute I also walk out of the room and join them to bring them out. "Again, I would like to apologize for my actions earlier and I hope you get home soon." I give my hand and shake his hands. Then they left.

          After they left, I clean the library and put back the bars to where they belonged. I know how to put it back as I was once a carpenter back in the day. Then I clean the desk and close the library. I ride my car and drove to my boss's house; I give him the keys and went home. While I was in the bed, I cannot sleep. I am just looking at my ceiling and remembering what happened earlier. I know I shouldn't have done that but I don't know what to do. He is an attractive man that is for sure, but I cannot be with him. He is too popular and known around the world and if people recognize me, I might be in danger as well as him, so what happened between us will never work.

         In the morning, I wake up early and prepare my car, take a bath, and dress. After that, I went to my favorite coffee shop and buy my original latte and a toast, when I suddenly met Arthur again with his guards and manager. He looked me directly in the eye but I look away and just walk away. I must never be with him in the first place. After I get my breakfast meal I walk into my car and start the engine when Arthur, knocks on my window. I roll up my window and he said, "Hi, I saw you earlier and I think you saw me too, is that right?" I looked at him and said, "Did I? Sorry I did not notice you; I haven't drunk my coffee yet so I was a bit unconscious you know." I think he did not believe me but he just said, "right, well see you later. I hope you come. Good luck with your work today." Then I left.

       When I came to the library there are many tourists and students waiting outside. I don't understand why but I never saw the library with so many people in it. Then I excuse myself and walk into the door. People continue to come in and a lot of them give donation for the library. After the whole day, I clean the library again and went home. As promise to Arthur's request, I went home and prepare for our meet up. Then after I clean myself, I already found myself in front of his door. I don't why I agreed this because I know I can say no if I want to but why now, why this time. I was about to walk away when the door suddenly opened. I look who is it and it was Arthur. "Uhm, Hi. I was just uhm... back away I guess?" Then he looked at me and said, "You are? Uhm, how about... would you like to come in even for just a second?" I tried to say no, but instead, I said, "Okay."

       I walk inside the room and he prepared a table and some dishes. I sit in the chair and he assists me. Then he sits opposite me. "Well, I thought you wouldn't come so I was about to wait for you downstairs." He said, then I replied, "Uhm, yes, right, I did come it's just I don't know why I cannot come in, I... I am sorry." I bow. Then he smiled and said, "it's alright you are here now but can I ask you something?" He looked at me then continues, "I know you know I was there in the coffee shop, but why did you choose to ignore me? Is there something wrong?" I look directly into his eyes and I said, "I am sorry Mr. King but..." I stop then I change what I want to say, "I know we both are attracted to each other but we cannot work it, Mr. King. You are too high to hold and I am just me so I don't think this will work out for both of us." After saying it, I look again at his eyes, he seems hurt and he wants to say something but he just sigh. Then he stands up and walk beside me, I also stand up and said, "I... Mr. King—" I was about to say goodbye to him when he suddenly kisses me. He kisses me passionately that I cannot breathe, his lips were press in mine that no air can come in and the night starts there.

        At 3 in the morning, Arthur was sleeping beside me and I am still awake with a blanket covering my body. I was staring again at the ceiling and thinking about what I have done. Then, after that I start moving quietly and get my clothes on the floor then I write a letter on a piece of paper only saying my different name. Margarette.
