NICOLAI (on hold)

Late.

《RECAP》

"Keep his hands to himself? What does that mean. Hes a gentle guy he would never hurt anyone."

Her words stung.

He would never hurt anyone

She is his sister.. of course she would say this.

She spares a glance at me.

"Ashila. You know its true come on tell this guy hes wrong."

"I can't "

Her eyes widen, then anger flashes across them.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||

《ASHILA》

San's anger only grew as Nicolai and I stayed quiet.

"Don't lie. Why would you say that? You guys loved each other... so much."

I bring my head back up and look her in the eye.

"I loved him San.. I don't now. Not after what he did."

Out of the corner of my eye I see Nicolai shuffle back a little.

This must be so appropriate to talk about right now.

I turn his way.

"Im sorry. If you want you can.."

He shakes his head,

"No. Im staying here. Can't be too sure what can happen."

My eyes draw to the floor, as I nod my head.

I hear Santana's hands slap to the side of her thighs.

"Are you kidding? I dont want to hear this. Im sorry, but I have to take my brother to the hospital."

I'm speechless.

No words to share.

I dont know what will happen... what he will say once he awakes.

She leaves, going inside with the slam of a door.

"You... alright?"

I open my eyes,

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

I almost laugh. He wont buy that line now.

To my surprise. He nods his head not pushing any further. He shakes his head towards the door, we walk through, bad of the music still pounding through my heart and ears.

"How about I take you home?"

I softly smile.

"Thats sounds great."

||||||||||||||||||||||||

We enter his car after shuffling through all the sweaty drunks.

I must add that his car is just gorgeous. A sleek royal blue BMW (concept 8).

I tell my address even though he probably already knows it from my interview papers. On the way there I can see him sneaking glances at me.

"What?"

He scrunches his brows. And shakes his head,

"Hmm?"

Now its my turn to scrunch them.

"You keep looking over. What you thought I didn't see?"

He musters up a small chuckle. As we stop at a red light he looks over at me, he seems to be studying my face.
