Brant Rhaegan

She put her head on my left shoulder.

"Thank you.. Brant" she said barely audible but enough for me to hear that.

After hours, I can see the horizon of sunrise has just came up on the side of this scenery.

"Hey.. wake up.." I touch her shoulder gently.. My left shoulder almost numb after not moving for hours.

"Hmmm" and she circling her arms on my bicep and snuggle more.

"It's almost there... the sunrise... you said you wanna see it"

After a second, she open her eyes and when she realized she has hugging my arms, she release quickly and make some distance between us.

"Sorry" she said.

I just stand up and stretch my arm. I can't even move an inch with her sleeping on my shoulder. I also don't have any heart to wake her and just let her lean for hours.

"Can I borrow your phone? This view is so amazing, I wanna capture it but I left mine with Jay." She take out my phone from the suit and  I only nodded and let her use my phone. I can see her smiling and take a picture of sunrise there.

"Hey give it to me" and she give it back to me.

"Sent me the picture" I nodded again and she turn around again still looking at the view.

I take another picture of her back while she admire the view. What a beautiful picture..

What did I just said? Brant!!! I think My brain has not function well today, this the consequences you were not sleeping all night..

"I can't believe I've been driving for hours to this place. I don't even know where it is.. It's like in the middle of nowhere." She smile.

"What? You were driving for hours without even know where were you going?" I chuckled disbelief with this woman.

"We don't always know what's in the future right? Sometimes.. just sometimes, we just let it be.."

"Let it be lost you mean?" I walk back to her car and before I get in, I call her.

"Hey.. let's take you home." I slid in the car and start the engine. She get in and sit on the passenger seat beside me. I look at her for awhile.

"What?" she shrug.

"Sit on the backseat" I said while put on my seatbelt.

"No.. I won't.. I wanna sit here.. hey how about the other car?"

"I've sent the location and ask others to take it. I will not let you drive again." I start driving away leaving that place.

I just focus on the road and when I look at her, she already sleeping soundly on her seat. I always check on her on the way we going home. Her make up has ruin because she has been crying before but she still looks so beautiful.. Gosh! Mom please help me, how come I deal with this beautiful creature, does heaven lost one of the angels?

After we reach the mansion, I look at her and took off her seatbelt, gently I wake her.

"Hey, we are here."

She shifting and look at me. No no.. don't look at me like that.. I get out from the car and she did the same. I let her walk in first and I following her behind.

"Hailey!!!" Mr. Jordan already standing there and stomp approach us.

"Get in your room" He said and Hailey walk pass him.

"Sir" I nodded slightly.

Mr. Jordan come to me and without any expression he slap me hard.

Hailey Jordan

I'm not mood have any argument with my father, I just listen what he said and walk pass him to get in my room, but when I wanna reach the upstairs, I heard someone has slapped. I turn around and see my father has just slapped Brant.

"Dad!!!" I turn around and standing in between them.

"I said get in your room." He bursting angrily.

"Why did you slap him? He took me home safely while I don't even wanna go home."

"That's for shut down his phone after he inform us that he found you! He should take you home no matter what it takes, not just playing around and take you home after 10 fucking hours!" my dad still angry.

"I've been driving out of the city, I don't even know where it is, It took hours driving and He found me, He keep trying to take me home, I am the one who shut down his phone, If you wanna have someone to be blamed for all of these.. it is me.. not anyone else.. at least he take me home safely dad.." my father clenched his fist and looking at Brant and he just left the mansion with his bodyguard.

I turn around facing him, take off his suit from my shoulder and give it back to him.

"Sorry." I look at him and see a big mark of my father's palm on his cheek.

"That's alright" He just move before I can even touch his cheek, I just pull my hands not try to touch him again.

"You got slapped because of me."

"You got slapped because of yourself too." And I chuckled.

"I'm gonna excuse myself." he said.

"Thank you.." I said and he nodded, turn around leaving me standing here.

Brant... you make me laugh even when I don't know how to smile..
