Beautiful

Part 14

Torin: "Won't you give ME a goodnight kiss?" He asked in a mischievous voice that made Cecily froze in her spot and the cute blush again coloured her cheeks.

Cecily: "I.... you.... What" She blabbered and was cut off by Torin's chuckle.

Torin: "Relax. I was just kidding. Please don't get tensed. Bye. See you tomorrow" Cecily just nodded still in a daze. Torin gazed at her deeply before turning and going towards her car. Soon Ariel and James came inside and called it a day.

   That night both Cecily and Torin were just rolling in bed without getting sleep. Both were thinking about Torin's question . Cecily was wondering what made Torin ask her such a question while Torin was wondering from where he got that much guts to ask such a question to Cecily. But he didn't regret it. By now Torin was sure that he felt something for Cecily romantically. Yes, he was confident that it was not pity. Though at the beginning, he felt so but after getting to know her, he was sure that it wasn't pity. He wanted to protect her from every evil and make her strong to face this world.

   He wanted her to see the world again, but not by forcing her. He wanted her to take that decision by HERSELF. He was confident to some extent that she might see again but he needed test results to confirm it, that too with her consent. That's why he suggested the exercises and diet. In fact there is no specific diet or exercises but he needed something to boost her confidence and to make her strong to take the initiative to take the tests. That's why he said so. Also he wanted some reason to spend time with her and this seemed to be perfect. With a dreamy sigh, he went to sleep. Other side, Cecily too fell asleep thinking about Torin.

Next day.

   Torin and Cecily were getting ready for the day with an unusual smile on their faces. The reason- none knew. But a smile was plastered on their faces. Both the parents were delighted seeing the scene. They somewhat understood the reason behind their smiles and wished that it remains intact forever.

   Soon it was lunch time and Cecily was eagerly waiting for Torin. Torin came sharp at 1. But he didn't enter. He stood outside the bakery and watched Cecily through the glass wall. He noticed that everytime the doorbell jingled, her face lit up and she was expecting his voice but everytime she hears another voice soon the light vanishes and a cute pout adores her lips. Torin was enjoying this and felt a bit bad for making her wait like this. So he decided to enter and end her misery. But when he entered she didn't look up and neither her eyes lit up. He understood that she gave up and felt guilty. So he went and stood infront of her before the counter. Cecily sensed someone and spoke with disinterest.

Cecily: "Hi, how may I help you?"

Torin: "Hi" He said in a husky voice. Hearing it, Cecily's head shot up.

Cecily: "Torin?" The excitement and happiness in her voice was very palpable and Torin found himself grinning HEARING her HAPPINESS FOR H.I.M.

Torin: "Yes Cecily, it's me. Shall we go for lunch?

Cecily: "Are we not eating here?"

Torin: "No. From today, your exercises are starting right? So we are going to my cabin in the hospital" Cecily gasped hearing him.

Cecily: "But"

Torin: "It's getting late. Come fast" Cecily nodded hurriedly and came towards him. Soon they started towards hospital with their lunch. 

Till next time...
