His last minute bride

21

-Don Jones-

I was checking out the company's sales in Australia, on my laptop when a knock came from the office door.

“Come in.”

Eri opened the door, closing it as soon as she was in.

I rose my head from the laptop and couldn't stop myself from admiring her beauty.

She had gone shopping yesterday and bought expensive clothes so she looked very pretty in the green knee length spaghetti handle dress that showed off a small amount of her cleavage.

Her hair packed in a ponytail had caught my attention. I couldn't stop noticing how beautiful it made her look.

I made sure my admiration wasn't evident in my expression. “Do you need something?” I didn't intend to sound so intimidating but it came out that way anyways.

“Uh, actually,” her fingers were intertwined together. She obviously had something to say, but was hesitating, why?

“Is there a problem?” I made an effort to soften my voice.

“No no,” she shook her head more than was needed, waving her palms. “It's just that I'm heading to the hospital Suzy's in.”

So was that the problem? Did she think I'd stop her from seeing her sister or something? “Well you can go.”

“I don't know the way to go, do you mind tagging along?” She gave me a nervous smile.

I rose an eyebrow. “Tag along? Why?”

Why would she want me of all people to follow her? “If you don't know the way, I'm sure you could meet any of the drivers, they'd take you there. I mean that's their job.”

“I know, I'm not expecting you to drive me there, I just want you to follow me.”

I could never be more confused. Why did she want me to follow her? It just didn't make sense.

“Why?” I guess that was the only way to find out.

“Well, Rose can't come because she's got to work and I don't want to go alone.”

“How about your personal maid, Hane or something.”

“She's coming too but she'd be going in another car with all our loads.” Her eyes pleaded with me. “Please just come with me. We won't take long.”

Normally I wouldn't have created room for her to ask such question, but for some reason, seeing how those swaying hair popped up her beauty. I found myself wanting to stare at her more.

Okay so maybe it won't hurt to stop working for a moment and go on a drive with her to Suzy's hospital.

“Thank you so much for agreeing to come with me.” She threw me a warm smile that caused a little flutter in my heart.

“I still don't know how you talked me into this.” I muttered, staring as the trees passed quickly considering the speed at which the car was moving.

The drive was going to be a long one as the hospital was very far from home. Eri and I were in one of my cars while Hane and whatever stuff Eri had gotten for Suzy were in another car.

The silence was boring so I decided to do some work from my phone. I turned it on and started sorting out whatever needed to be sorted out.

I stared at Eri at intervals, amazed everytime those beautiful hair swayed when she turned to see something.

When I had done some of my work on the phone, I turned to stare at Eri whose head was laid back, eyes closed. She was sleeping.

She did look cute as she slept. My gaze shifted to those hair of hers that had stolen my attention all day.

I needed to run my hands through that hair so I could focus on every other activity for the day.

I knew I shouldn't be doing what I was doing next, but at that point my brain wasn't functioning well. I mean she's asleep. What she doesn't know can't hurt her.

I leaned closer, completely ignoring the side glance the driver was throwing at me. I could fire him for that if my heart wasn't beating ten times faster.

When I was very close to her, I gently stroked her hair, hoping she wouldn't wake up. I stroked it so gently, the feeling sending a flood of relief down my spine.

I should stop this. It wasn't a smart thing to do. I hated the amount of pleasure I got just touching her hair.

Just when I was about to pull over, I noticed a few strand of hair fall over her forehead. It had pulled out of her ponytail.

I decided to just put it behind her ear and quickly go back to work on my phone before she woke up.

I put the strand of hair behind her ear, my fingers brushing her ear a little, a small smile appeared on my lips but immediately disappeared when her eyes slowly opened.

I quickly pulled apart, creating a distance between us but it was too late, she'd already seen what I was doing.

“What were you doing?” Her voice was low and filled with bewilderment.

She was right. What was I doing? I must've been out of my mind. Hair! I let her hair distract me. Gosh why's my heart beating so fast. I hope she couldn't feel it.

I had to avoid her stare, so I just continued working on my phone.

“Eri” Suzy's voice was filled with emotion. She looked as tired as ever dressed in the hospital clothes. Her hair lay roughly on her head. There was a nurse standing beside her with a note and pen.

“Suzy,” Eri ran to give her sister a hug. They both stayed in that position sobbing on each other's shoulders for a while before Suzy drifted.

“Where were you? When I woke up, I wanted to see you so eagerly but you were no where to be found.” Suzy was still crying and so was Eri.

“I'm very sorry, I would've come sooner.”

Suzy scanned her from head to toe. “You look beautiful.” She sniffed in before tuning to me, a weak smile planted on her face. “Hello Don.”

I returned her smile. “Hello.”

She turned to Eri and for a moment I guessed they were eye-communicating.

“Listen, I got a lot of stuff for you. You'd have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks, but don't worry I've got you covered.” She gestured for Hane to go to her with whatever she'd gotten for Suzy.

Hane handed it over to her and she started bringing them out one by one, listing their uses and benefits.

Staring at them, it made me wish I had a loving family like they did. I don't think any member of my family would be so concerned if I was in the hospital, well maybe my mom.

But I was sure my dad would be worried about the company and not my safety. I mean, he doesn't have any other child to hand over the company to and Violin would destroy the company if she was to take care of it for a day.

Staring at Suzy and Eri, it was nice having a loving family.
