HIGHWAY

"Okay so, now you can tell me why are we here?"

After almost getting a heart attack seeing my cousin and my ex boyfriend in ages, in front of me, at a place where I least expect them to be, that too together, I managed to survive that tiny catastrophe by not only getting caught here also not murdering them right there and then.

I wasn't even shre if I was pissed or sad.. or both. And why? He was my ex anyway and I hated Metilda from the bottom of my heart. I shouldn't be caring. But then why was I?

Don't you feel cheated, Diana?

Don't you think when he said he loved you he wasn't supposed to go and kindle up his lost love in your cousin very fast? It was just too soon for love to vanish, wasn't it?

It was, if it was true.

Jon seemed to sense something was off about me when I locked my eyes on them and he followed suit, bemused. Without another question he dragged me in opposite direction before I could go and murder them and told me to stay hidden until he go and gets a room. He suggested not to go out of the building as that would not only lead to difficulties for him to find me also there were chances that more acquaintances could be outside who might recognize me.

Without hesitation, I obeyed him. Not to mention, for the first and the very last time.

It didn't take him long and he was there by my side shortly, while my eyes stayed stuck on the duo the entire time.

I didn't bothered to ask how did he manage to pay for a room or how did he managed to get a room in the first place without being questioned after looking at his attire.

No doubt he was hot enough if he would just clean up a little bit and wear some clothes that would make him look less of a thug, Damm, he would look more of a CEO himself, but the way he carried himself told that he was least bothered about what he was looking like. It was just his face, the sharp jaw line, that stubble, his eyes, his abs, his biceps, his body when he was with you naked, his... lord help me.

Once we got in the room, I didn't bother looking around and went straight towards double door which I assumed to be a door to balcony. I stood there inhaling and exhaling trying to calm myself down and blinking the tears forming in my eyes. The cold wind touched my skin making me shiver but instead of embracing myself, my grip tightened around the railing letting the anger inside me boil until the coolness in the air soothes it down by itself.

Gladly, Jon let me have my time and didn't interrupt me with his company or maybe he was least interested in my story. I was just about to turn around once I was sure I was okay enough to face Jon's horrible attitude that's when I caught his presence behind me, I hoped for him to leave but he stood beside me. Without saying a word he kept looking straight in front towards nothing just a barren ground with a narrow road which we travelled just a few minutes ago. The view wasn't really eye catchy until you lift your eyes to see a part of heaven which was visible, the night sky, the clean and beautiful night sky, with millions of stars visible without a tinge of dust in the air but only if you were bought up in a city, for a person living under the stars it was just a sight he was born with. Lucky him.

He didn't ask numerous irrelevant questions and went straight to the point. Either he was way to straight forward or didn't know how to be a little social at all. "who were they?" His commanding voice cut through the silence.

Then I told him everything. Everything means who they were, the place I was bought up at, the school I went to, the relation I shared with Sky, and how I hated Mitchell.

Although he was least interested in my story, he listened, he actually listened. Maybe because he cannot risk a threat with whatever he was planning or maybe just maybe he wanted to know. I went with the former statement.
