Lisa's POV
When you sleep peacefully in the night with the thought that things are going right on track. That all the differences has been sought out and there only remains the closeness now, and suddenly when you wake up you realise - IT WAS ALL IN THE MIND!
That is what I am facing now.
I thought that after Vince's birthday celebration and that kiss, he will be head over heels for me now. Even if not head over heels but atleast he will be cordial with me.
Boy! I was so wrong.
Wait... I did not spill the beans on kiss right?
Well, it was the best kiss with best person on the best day! We didn't realize when we stopped playing with the cake and running behind each other.
He caught me and pulled me probably to put cake on my face and just then I kissed him. He was so shocked to respond so I moved myself away from him.
Here comes the best part!
He pulled me towards him and kissed me. Thoroughly and slowly he tasted every inch of lips and mouth. We were both going over the top of the world with every touch tongues and hands.
And unfortunately, we had to breathe and that broke the moment.
And now he has not come out of the room. Not for breakfast or lunch and now he is about to skip dinner. Which has made my patience wither.
Without thinking I went to his den and knocked on the door.
"Vince! You can remain cooped up in the den all day. You haven't eaten anything so please come out and have it. Now!" I tried using the tone my Mother used at me when I threw this similar fit and that worked on me.
Hope it works on him too.
After some time when he didn't respond, I thought he will not come out. But surprisingly, he opened the door.
"Thank god! I thought you will never open the door." I smiled at him.
"I wouldn't have but I got some news for you." He said making me frown.
"What news?" I asked him.
"You can go with your brother tomorrow." My frown deepened. Is he not worried at all about me?
"Tomorrow?" I repeated involuntarily.
"Yes. They will come tomorrow." I nodded.
At least, I am going to my twin and my brother! They were always the best thing that will ever happen to me. But still, I feel like I am losing something.
"You will not have dinner? You didn't have anything and you are workin..."
"I don't think I gave you the right to take care of me. I eat on my time and sleep on my time so never bother me with these silly lovesick questions." He said and his aloofness hurted me a lot. But I didn't say anything.
"Okay." I said and went from there. At least, tomorrow I will meet my family.
*****
The night went by in the blur and when I woke up the house help was already cleaning the room for me. She was already packing the little that Vincent bought for me.I got ready and went on the breakfast table where Vince was already there. I was surprised to see him, I thought he will avoid me.
"When are they coming?" I asked.
"Soon." So he is just going to give one word answers now?
"When?" I asked again.
"Kian didn't say any specific timing." I must meet this Kian. Who the hell is he who is able to befriend this Aloof Detective without getting irritated?
"Fine. I will have my breakfast in room." I said and picked my plate.
"Suit yourself." He said without even looking up from his plate. He us literally making my breakfast uninteresting with his attitude. I am trying to control my anger but I feel I will not be able to do that any longer.
I went to the room and had my breakfast. I just want to stay in pleasant mood to welcome my siblings. I will not spoil my mood because of his attitude.
"What will I say to them? Will Lydia looked just like me? I am sure Liam would have become so handsome now!" I muttered excitingly.
After almost two hours, I finally heard the doorbell. I hastily went outside the room to see so many people entering in the hall area.
"Who are these people? Where is my twin?" I muttered when suddenly someone cane over me.
"Lisa! I missed you so much. I thought you died, I thought I will never see you. Thank the god that everything is fine with you!" I tried to free myself from his grip.
"Sean you are squeezing her. Give her sometime to breathe and meet everyone." I heard another voice but I was so busy getting away from him that I didn't look around.
"I love you Lisa. I am so sorry, I didn't trust you. I was mad for letting the love of my life go away like this." I pushed him away.
"Love?" I asked him. How can I love him? Is he mad? I have never met him.
"You are making her uncomfortable." Vince pulled me towards him and tucked me behind him.
"You will stay away from my girlfriend. I know what to do to make her comfortable." That man said threateningly to Vince.
Girlfriend? Is he mad?
"Lisa!" I instantly recognised Liam's voice and I ran towards him and hugged him.
"Liam... Who is that guy?" I asked Liam about this Sean guy.
"He was your boyfriend. When you were not with us, you were in relationship with him. But I don't approve of this thing! You don't remember?" I remember no such thing! I don't even remember meeting him.
I shook my head.
"Lisa... How can you not remember me? I... We..." He came towards me but I threw his hands away.
"I don't know you! Go away from here. Go!" I snapped at him and started moving away from him getting scared that he will hurt me.
"Shh... He is not coming near you. Stop running. Come your siblings are here." Vince tried to pacify me but I just shook my head.
"No! They will take me back. No!" I ran to my room and cried my heart out.
