An Unexpected Desire

CHAPTER 21 : KIDNAPPED

Jasmine's pov

After having breakfast , I headed to a Cafe which was few blocks away from our home and granny went to her club..

As I reached the Cafe , I found Anthony already waiting for me...he looked at me and a smile bloomed on his face...he ran to me as I stood at the front door , and instantly hugged me..I hugged him back and we both went to the table and sat on our chairs..

Then ,  I started looking over the menu to order something but Anthony told me that he already has placed the order for both of us..I smiled then kept the menu on the other side of table and sat comfortably,  and looked at him who was already looking at him...

" how's everything Anthony ?"

" you seemes pretty busy these days" I added after a second...

He sighed and then replied " yeah , dad wants me to take over his company " he stopped there for a minute and further extended his words with a tint of hurt..

" he never understood me , ever since mom died I always have been lonely...he always scold me even for the things I never did...I
always crave for a dad's love and wanted to please him since childhood so therefore I am working hard "

I looked at his moist eyes , then placed my hand over his's which he immediately held tightly..." don't worry Anthony , I am always here for you " I assured him...

He smiled looking at me and I nodded as a response then our order came and we began to have our food which was delicious....I had a breakfast with granny but now I am again starving so thatswhy I was stuffing like a pig...

Then , we had a little chit - chat together while eating and from there we decided to have a ice - cream , so we both drove off to ice - cream parlor on his bike...then I had a caramel one and he had chocolate one and we started walking on the pavements while having our respective ice - creams..

There were lot of people but still not so much noisy and the view was also good...as I was having an ice - cream , my phone buzzed..

Anthony was telling me something but I didn't paid him attention as all of it went to the notification...it was from that monster , but I decided not to open it ; so I shut the phone and regain my focused again on what Anthony was saying...

After a while , a notification again popped and I knew that it was from him so I didn't opened it , then few seconds later my phone filled with notifications...i got frustrated and Anthony too noticed it but I don't want to tell Anthony about anything yet..so I switched off the phone and placed it my pocket..

Then after walking for half an hour , we decided to go to my favourite's place...I always go there whenever I feel frustrating or sad...we reached there within an hour and thereafter we spent a good time ; we did very joyful things there , and also made a running contest in which he won beacuse I lt him..

" I won! " He shouted while panting heavily...

I took deep breaths , and then placed my hands on my waist and confronted " I let you win "

" what a joke ! " He screamed sarcastically...

" I am telling the truth " I said firmly while rolling my eyes..

" yeah , yeah I know " he said and I narrowed my eyes at him , then a laugh slipped from my lips and we both started laughing..
