Pieces of Your Love

6-Can't forget you

"Darren you're finally back! Welcome home! Do you know you scare the hell out of me? I was beginning to worry that I don't get to claimed some of the bet that you lost to me some time ago." Heath grinned toothily.

"Yeah yeah. By the way, I need you to do something for me." He stated while looking at his friend's expression. His friend seem to be a bit more compose than before. "What is it? Let me guess, do you want me to go with my men to deal with those frenchman who almost kill you?" He asked with a stern look.

"No, bring them back here to me. Alive."

"Aye I guess that much. Will do my lord. Your wish is my command." He grinned cheekily at Darren. "Oh, and when are you going to introduce to me your little friend who came to your house that day? Quite a beauty isn't she?" He stated still smiling at Darren.

"Leave her alone Heath or I'll give you a good smite." He growled. Heath pause for a moment and study his friend's expression. "Why Darren? The last time when you brought a blondie here ,you don't seem to mind when I touch her." He queried lightly though he felt like his friend is slowly falling for this girl by the looks of his action when he say he wanted to know her. Darren usually just shrug it off and let him do whatever he like with the woman he fancies. Pondering over the thought about it right now, makes him wonder why is this woman so special to him. With that in mind, he is quite adamant to find out about her, one way or another, after he dealt with those people who tried to kill his best friend.

"It seem you're falling for her...Is it my dear friend?" He asked still looking at his friend. "It's none of your business. Hurry up and find them." Darren commanded giving his friend a murderous glare. "Fine I won't question it any further. See you again." He jogged off merrily leaving Darren alone.

After the captain left, Darren let out a groan. He didn't want to remember anything about her. But when Heath brought out the topic about her, his brain seem to drift back to her again. When he was talking to his friend, his mind was actually busy planning on making those men suffer the moment he got to lay hands on them. But when his loyal friend shows interest on Emily, he couldn't stop himself from being possessive over her. He won't let anyone touch her like a guard dog who wouldn't let anyone touch its bone. His mind recollect the day he was sick and injured on her bed, her scent was everywhere, but it was a faint one and not so strong like any other women he met where their perfume overpowering his senses. Hers one was a smell of fresh leaves in the forest. So nice...so refreshing.

Then all of the sudden he heard someone at his door giving a light knock on it. "Come in." He stated. Mr Hastings came into his room immediately with a face devoid of emotion. "There's a woman outside who wanted to see you. She said when you see her, you'll know who she is." Immediately Darren sprang up to his feet and walked pass his butler swiftly. Thinking and hoping it was Emily. She must had finally decided to stay with him. His heart beats furiously like it was coming out from his chest anytime sooner.

But when he came down from the stairs, it was not Emily standing in the hall inspecting the beautiful tapestries that was hung on his wall, it was Alice. She was dressed scandalously with her dark red lips. His heart felt like it sank to the bottom of the sea. Why is she here? He couldn't fathom it and frowned at her when she came closer to him. "Darren.." His name rolled under her tongue like she was caressing it. "What do you want?" His brows creased further. "I don't remember asking you to come to my house." He stated loud and clear hoping she'll get a better picture to stay away from him. From his territory.

They were an inch away when she started to talk. "I was worried about you,I heard you were attacked by some strangers so I came here to see you." She said looking hurt.

"As a matter of fact, I am fine. Thank you for your concern. You may go now. "He said not wanting to see any woman at the moment. She stare at his stormy grey eyes before moving even closer to him until there was no space left between them and she started to wrap her arms around his neck.
