Chapter : 14

🖤 Julian 🖤

When we finished finalizing the cake for the wedding and did all the paperwork , it was almost 10 pm.
Normally I don't like to stay out this late at night . I prefer getting my work done by 8.30 , then leave and peacefully have my dinner at home. 

But it seems like I have to do a lot of new things for this woman , who is currently curled up beside me in the passenger seat.
Her eyes glued to the window , watching the city lights.

" You know..you can just turn the AC off. It's getting cold. " She told me , but never looked at me.

Not like I care .

" Who told you to wear a dress in October ? "

" Nobody did . It was my choice and by the way it was not that cold before. And I don't think you need an AC in October."

She looked at me . And I couldn't help but turn my eyes from the road to her.

Her eyes are blazing. It always does whenever she looks at me.
And no !!

It's not due to affection.
It's hate.
Something we both have in common.

" Sure. I can't afford my wife suffering from a high fever. "

" I am not your wife yet. "

" But you will be soon and I'm looking forward to that day. " I offered her a nasty smirk , I am sure she hates. Then proceed to turn off the AC.

" Thank you . " She looked away.

" Let's grab something to eat. It's dinner time already. "

" I am not hungry. I..." Her stomach growled before she could even lie.

I can see her face got all red . She's embarrassed. Though I don't think it's something to be ashamed of. Humam gets hungry. It's our natural instinct.

" I know a restaurant nearby that serves amazing Turkish food . Are you okay with that ? "

" Yeah... okay. "

We arrived at the restaurant in twenty minutes.
The Turks .
It's still the same as it was a decade ago.

We took the table beside the huge window , from which you can practically see half of the city. When I used to come here with my parents, I always tried to sit here just to watch this view.

It feels like eternity ago .

"Julian ...uhh...I don't have much knowledge about turkish food. So you have to order for both of us. "

" Sure..." I watched her staring at the view in front of us , being mesmerized by it.

And suddenly I feel like she looks more beautiful than this view . I noticed how her eyes always shine differently whenever she finds something interesting.
How a small dimple appears on her right cheek when she talks or smile.

And I don't know why but I find It fascinating.

When I realised what I am thinking, I am scared of my own thoughts.

I am not allowed to feel this way.
Especially for Celine.
She is a forbidden fruit I should never touch .
But...
no matter how much I hate her , there's a very small part of me that's curious about her.

No..no..no.
I can't let her grow on me.
All my life I have waited for this chance to destroy the person who killed my family .
I can't let this opportunity slide away just for this type of baseless, lingering feelings.
Let's just focus on the plan.
