LOST

Chapter 26

I opened the door of the cab for her. She sat inside mumbling a thank you. I nodded and went to my own seat. I looked at her she was sad after all the things they did to her she was sad and it was unbelievable actually it showed how nice of a person she was.

I put my hand on her hand, feeling her warmth.

"it's alright babe" I said to her.

She nodded and scooted towards me. She engulfed her face into my chest. I hugged her in order to comfort her. I could feel her sob........and this may sound cheesy but I was a bit hurt. May be I am the reason she doesn't wants to live with her parents maybe she is choosing me over her family. I am happy she did that actually but I shouldn't be because it's just too selfish to think like that.

"wanna talk about it? " I asked.

She pulled back her face was stained with tears.

" it's just that. First they hated me they didn't like me at all. I wanted them to like me then but they just didn't see it and now when I am all settled and have a person who loves me and a job and all they just seem to love me" she said.

This all took me by shock. Shit man she wants to go back to her family that means we will not be able to see each other again. According to my brain a nice gentle man would have said that if you love your family then go live with them. I am happy for you. But for God's sake I am not that gentleman I am too selfish to say that to her.

"Mavis look if you love your family and wanna live with them. You can......... I will survive" I said.

This surprised me even more than it did to her. I was so saddened and I sounded so fragile............. I would definitely not survive.

I was taken by surprise yet again as she kissed my lips ever so tenderly. I quickly gave in until she pulled back. I wanted it to last forever because this might be our last kiss. Thanks to my inner saint.

"I am never leaving you mister" she said smugly.

A flood of relief washed through me. Yayyyyyy she was not going anywhere. Of course she is not going anywhere because she is mine for crying out loud.

We reached her Aunt's house. It was small and cozy. I rang the bell. She herself came out.

"oh my look who it is?" she smiled and hugged me.

"Mavis my little girl.... Oh I missed you so much" she said while hugging her.

"like wise " she whispered in her aunt's ear.

" Come in come in" she welcomed us inside.

"now what will you kids have. Coffee? Cookies? Tea? Huh?" she asked us looking very enthusiastic.

"oh no thank you we really won't have anything. We have a flight to catch up on. We just came by so Mavis could meet ya" I said.

I caught Mavis staring at me and being the person she is she looked away.

"very well" aunt jess said.

"so tell me girl how is life" she asked.

"it's nice. I have got admission in a university there. I do a part time job. And yeah I have got myself a nice apartment" Mavis said.

"and a nice fiance" she said.

Mavis blushed and chuckled.

"yeah that too" Mavis said.

Oh God I am so flattered.............. Seriously that's what chicks say.

"so tell me what do you do boy?" she asked.

Shit!!

"I umm am a manager of a hotel in London" I replied.

Mavis gave me a look.

"that's nice" she said.

"oh yeah it definitely is" I replied pleased with myself.

Mavis smirked. Well the talk went on and on but surprisingly I wasn't very much bored because her aunt was really a master piece now I know why Mavis loved her so much. I glanced at my watch and gave Mavis a nod. She stood up and thanked her telling her that she was happy that Aunt Jess was back.

We were sitting in the backseat of the cab. The airport was a bit far so we decided to talk.

"thanks Peter" Mavis said. Taking my hand into hers and kissing it I was literally stunned at her actions.

"for what? " I asked.

" for being there for me" she replied.

"hey that was kind of like my job" I told her modestly.

"no. Seriously" she said and kissed me lightly.

"when are you taking me to that restaurant of yours? " she winked.

I chuckled deeply." mayn I couldn't have said anything else you know" I told her.

"well you know what I want expecting worse" she replied.

"uh then I am sorry to disappoint you" I answered.
