Nicklaus
I saw her stir from her sleep and knew at once she'll be up in no time and God knows how relieved I am cause I've been going crazy this entire time.
What if something had happened to her, then I'll be so burdened by guilt and I never liked to be burdened with emotions. Emotions cloud your judgement and make you do reckless things.
All thanks to Eden.
Well, I'll have him straightened out sooner than later, I'll have him know that no one messes with me and go Scot free.
"Mom" Maya muttered in her sleep and I couldn't help but stare at her. She looked strained and tortured even in sleep.
"M-mom....don't go, don't leave me! Mom!" She stood so abruptly and in the process almost kissed the ground if I haven't been so quick to the rescue.
"What the heck?" Maya murmured staring all over with wild eyes.
"You're at my place, remember?"
"Your place?" She arched her brow before rubbing her head. "Why is your room spinning and why are there two of you, you never told me you're a twin?"
"Because you're obviously not in your right frame of mind, you're experiencing dizzy spells so go back to bed" I said helping her back to the bed but you should know by now how much of a stubborn ass Maya is.
"Wait" Maya said pushing me away. "I was in a car. No, where's Izzy no...no...the reporters?"
"Seriously, damn you" I cursed and had no choice than to carry her back to the bed. She squirmed and struggled against my grip.
"I swear if you move as an inch again I'll toss you in my bathtub filled to the brim with ice, that way you'll be much sober"
"You can't do that" She challenged.
I smirked. "Try me"
"Fine, I give up" She surrendered at last. "You've finally succeeded in proving to me that you're a cold blooded emotionless jerk"
"If you think I'm going to loose my control thanks to your glib tongue then you're in for a loss, see if I care"
"Well, you never know and by the way, in case you care to know I'm much better now"
"You're not getting off that bed"
"But...."
"And no argument"
"Fine" She snorted rolling her eyes. "Always the boss"
"You know I can hear you"
"See if I care" She retorted and I sighed, showing kindness to someone really sucks.
"By the way, how did I even end up here? Last thing I remembered, I was with the reporters"
"You mean surrounded by reporters?"
She raised her chin defensively. "I was going to handle them before whatever happened out there happened"
I smirked. "Oh sure, you handled them quite well" I said and trust Maya, she was quick to notice the sarcasm.
"What happened out there?" She asked sternly.
"Well, you chickened out by fainting from heatstroke and low blood sugar and I had to save the day once again. Do you know how tiring it is to play knight in shinning armour?"
Maya gave me a fake smile. "Oh don't worry, I'm so grateful that I could die from joy" She squealed but I noticed the sheer sarcasm.
"Do you happen to hit your head somewhere cause you've been so different ever since you woke up. You haven't blabbed nor stammered"
