(Enzo's POV)

The whole city was covered in snow and I was sitting in a park sipping coffee. Children were playing, couples were talking holding hands, old people were exercising. In simple words, everyone was busy in their own world. After taking the last sip of coffee, I left the park and started walking on the road covered with cold white carpet. After walking some distance, my eyes fell on a lady who was looking for something.

Should I go and ask her what the matter is? Nah why do I care. I thought and started walking but when I looked back she was still there and looked quite worried. What's the harm in asking someone? Let me make a little impression, after all I am Enzo. Heh! I said in my mind and started walking towards her.

"Hey! Are you looking for something?" I asked and she turned to me and said, "I think I lost my wallet."

"Oh! Was that something important?" I asked nonchalantly and she said, "Important! Of course it was an important thing. I lost my WALLET."

"Then it's a big problem... I guess" I said and she shrugged.

"Do you remember where you last time saw it?" I asked and she started thinking.

"I was in the cafe and then I paid the bill and put my wallet in the bag and... and then I left... and now I can't find it." She said.

"Are you sure? Maybe you have accidentally placed it somewhere else." I said.

"I don't think so." She said.

"Was there a lot of money in it?" I asked.

"Not much, but enough to catch the bus home." She said.

Does she really not have money or is it a new way of asking for a money from handsome guys like me? I thought and said, "If it is just a matter of money then I will give you money to go home. Tell me how much do you want?"

"No no please don't bother." She said.

She refused it! Strange! I thought and said, "well then I can drop you home in my car."

"Don't worry. I can walk home. It's not very far." She said and started walking.

Oh no, she turned out to be really decent. I thought and said, "wait!... Miss, if your house is not very far then why were you going to go by bus?"

"That... uh... I usually travel by bus, that's why... but never mind, I will walk today." She said fidgeting her fingers.

Why is she so nervous? Is she thinking I'm a stalker? I thought and said, "Why are you so scared? I'm not a bad guy. I'm just trying to help you." I slapped myself in my mind twice...no, thrice and then thought, hey, why are you so eager to help her? What's the matter with you? No no Enzo, if someone is in trouble, you should help them. Should I or not? Now I slapped my double-faced brain really hard and silenced it permanently.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not forcing you to come with me, but I can drop you home if you want." I said.

"Okay, thank you." She said and I immediately took my car out of the parking lot and asked her to sit. She told me her address and I started the engine.

"By the way, I'm Enzo." I said and smiled

"I'm Genevieve." She said.

(Kyle's POV)

Despite my repeated refusals, Mayson did not agree and started insisting on coming with me and now both of us are sitting in our private plane so that I can reach the hospital where my father had asked me to come.

"Kyle?" He said.

"Hmm" I replied.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." He said.

"I don't think anything is okay Mayson. We had no contact for so many years and now suddenly he asked me to come to the hospital! He wanted to tell me something about my mom. Is she admitted in that hospital? What the hell is going on" I said, holding my head in frustration.

"Don't worry Kyle, even if she is sick, she will be fine." He said.

"I don't think it is a small matter, dad was crying Mayson!" I said.

"Big brother, whether the matter is big or small, I am always with you." He said but I didn't replied anything so he started playing tricks to make me laugh by saying, "whether it's rain or storm Mayson always stands tall." I chuckled and said, "okay okay. You don't have to stand tall for now because I'm fine right now."

"You should sleep for a while, you look very tired. You practiced dance for a long time yesterday and then you went to meet your lover. Then despite my repeated warnings, you insisted to come with me. You have been running around a lot." I said.

"As if you didn't go to meet your lover." He said mockingly.

"Oye, it's nothing like that okay? It was just a casual meeting." I said.

"Same here." He said.

"Maysi, Monica herself asked me to meet her but you went straight to Maya's house." I said.

"Why can't I go to someone's house?" He asked nonchalantly.

"I don't think she's just someone." I said and he started blushing.

"Stop Kyle!" He said.

"If you like her you should have said that to her." I said.

"It's not that easy." He said abruptly.

"So you do like her." I said and he turned into a red tomato.

"Yahhh! Stop playing around. What about you? Don't you like her sister?" He said and smirked and now it's my turn to become a red tomato.

"Shut up!" I said and he repeated my sentence in a dramatic way, "sooo you dooo like her."

"I think we should stop this nonsense." I said.

"It's not nonsense Kyle, I'm loosing my senses after I came back from her house." He said.

"Me too. I mean I'm also feeling something weird after meeting her." I said.

"What?! You have feelings for Maya!?" He said with doe eyes.

"I'm talking about her sister stupid." I said smacking his head.

"Yahhh! Don't hit." He said rubbing his head.

"But bro I think we're on the same track." He said.

"Can't say that you are wrong." I said.
