Between sun and storm

chapter 9

Dante look toward Lila's hand on his and feel a Sense of familiarity, care and empathy. Which he doesn't feel for a long time since his family left him all alone and his brother give him punishment of his unknown deed he became a person who doesn't want anyone in two feet near him but with Lila he can't explain what is happening, at this moment he doesn't care.

He put his head on her lap and lay down on the couch in fetal position Lila startled by this act on intimacy but just one glance on that man face and she knew something is not right with him.

He is having a mental breakdown in front of her both didn't say a single word and watch screen in that position. It feels like they both are connecting to each other with out any words, gustures are enough for them.

Suddenly Lila remember that she doesn't even knowing his name and he is not comparative in telling her either.

"I suddenly remember it's been days and you didn't even tell me your name, with my guess you are not going to tell me either so why not give you a temporary name so I can call you something better then ,aye ,oye , blue shirt" Dante move his eyes form
Screen and look toward her still laying in her lap.

She is looking down toward him he raised an eyebrow but didn't comment on it Lila made a look as if she is thinking the look toward the show and said " charlie! How's that untill you stay here you are charlie" she smile and look proud.

"Why doesn't you push me to tell you everything about me. I'm a stranger anyway what if I hurt you or worse?" he said that as if confused by her lack of safety.

"I didn't pursue you to tell me because I don't need to know you will anyway left with in two or three days and then we will never meet again" Lila comment on his question and then get up while pushing him off her.

" Now get up charlie and give me a hand in kitchen to set the table you are having free meals and doesn't even dare to ask for help what a helpless man you are" she sighed and continue" if your being like that then no girl will find you as a man of her dreams" and walk toward kitchen.

This is the thing that Dante love about her she doesn't raise the topic which doesn't concern her and make him feel comfortable didn't push him to tell her everything even when he takes her as his emotional support for some minutes she doesn't push him away or make him feel lesser or weak" I'm gonna miss her once I'll go away" he sighed and make his way towards kitchen with support from different things in living room.

They both work together Lila joke around and Dante acknowledge her but doesn't laugh on it which make Lila feel like she is making him bore.  "Am I boring " she asked as they sit on the dinning table in front of each other.

He rise his head from food and said narrow his eyes " No" and start eating again "Then why are you ignoring me
And making that neutral face even on the world's funniest joke" he got confused but from his facial expressions it seems like he doesn't care "No! it's not like that and I don't find them funny" he said bluntly on which Lila decided to stay quite.

They both enjoy there meal with each others company in peace Dante find it unexplainable. The peace he felt in is heart is something else he doesn't dine with anyone after his family left him but know doing it with Lila is peace full. He feel complete after a long time but he knew that will not stay the same he has to leave and that's final.

Both of them are becoming each others habit but the circumstances is not right to accept that.

Even Lila doesn't find it empty and alone now but the feeling is temporary and she knew that she has to leave no matter what she can't stay here any more she want freedom from her past and want to move toward her future.

They didn't knew what future hold for them is a complete different path on which they both are going to walk together. There path has been intersect and now the division is far away from there reach.
