Stranger in my heart (Completed)

The past and the future

Gerard dodged just in time. The bullets were shot few inches from his head. He grabbed his knife and threw it to the assassin. Straight to his neck.

Few men with black mask ski on their faces have showed up. Gerard touched his knive's belt, looking for some knives. Nothing left.

A bullet was shot to him.

He is panting heavily.

It's that nightmare again. The day when everything went chaotic. Most of his colleagues died that day. Leaving only Mike and him.

Mike got two bullets. He earned one.

When he was hospitalized, he saw Hyde Park on TV. He couldn't stop thinking about it. Just knew he must come to England.

Gerard looks at her. She's still sleeping. He touches her forehead. The fever is down. She still felt a little bit too warm. Not burning fever like yesterday.

Her lips wavered but no voice is heard. Her lips look too dry.

Nina finally opens her eyes. She looks weak. Yet, her eyes look focus for the first time.

"I'm here, Nina. Do you need anything?"

"Water..."

Gerard grabs a bottle of water for her. He helps her to drink.

She coughs a little.

"Gerard..."

"Yes?"

"Hungry..."

"Of course. You hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. Let me order you something."

Gerard dials the number of the kitchen.

"Yes. A bowl of chicken soup. A bowl of porridge. And special menu for me."

A knock on the door few minutes later. Gerard receives the meal from the maid.

She says, "I added something extra, Honey. Free of charge."

"Thanks, Mimi."

"Are you free this Saturday night? Got a free ticket for a concert."

"Err...sorry...no mood right now. Thanks for the offer."

"Well, another time then."

Gerard closes the door with his foot. He carries the food tray into the room. Nina looks upset. She kept staring him but said nothing. Seeing that woman hitting on him, enraged her.

"I know you're starving. No need to glare at me," teases him.

"Open wide," orders him.

Having a handsome man feeding you when you're sick. Any woman would be jealous at her.

Nina closes her eyes when she's munching the food.

Gerard asks, "Are you feeling any better?"

She opens her eyes again.

Nina nods. Her throat hurts a lot. Swallowing is hard for her. Gerard blows the soup, cooling it a bit before feeding her. He smiles to her. Urging her to finish the soup.

How could she not fall for him?

Nina curses a bit.

Falling in love with a gay would only break her heart.

Too late. Her heart is no longer available. Reserved for Mr.Gerard Butler.
