✨ A Beautiful Dream ~

16 ~ Inevitable Dangers

After days of contemplating, Esalyn has decided to forgive Hannah for she knew that the brunette may have her reasons for not telling her. As for Javier, she had made up her mind to just forget him- forget the magical yet depressing past she had with him.

"Hannah, am i getting paranoid? There are days which i think that i'm in danger; that he's waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike."

Sinking her hands into her hair, rubbing it disheveledly as she walked around in circles.

As an amiable friend, Hannah took her hands into hers; her deep blue eyes like oceans calming her anxious friend down.

"Hey hey slow down, girl you're gonna be fine. I'll stay with you to ensure your safety, I'll be your personal bodyguard."

She winked playfully as Esalyn gradually cooled down and nods while standing up to stretch her arms. 

"I think you need a break, let's go to the park." 

Hannah stood up with a bright smile on her face as she held her friend's hands heading out. 

"Thank you Hannah for always being here for me, yeah i think a break is good for me." 

She wrapped her fingers around her hands, breathing in a deep breath before reeling herself to not think too much. It has been a tough three days since her friend had dropped the bomb to her and she had finally grasped the idea of spies plus she knew that they were dangerous. She knew that her faithful friend would protect her but she didn't want the brunette to get hurt in the midst of protecting her. 

She remained silent for a while, their hands were still interlacing with each other and the observant brunette seemed to have already read her mind even before she could hide it. 

"Girl, you don't have to think too much. Have you forgotten that I'm also a spy? I have enough skills to protect us both so please trust my capability to protect you."

The brunette's serious face came into view; the unusual view was funny to say the least cuz Hannah is a happy-go-lucky type of woman so imagine her putting on a determined face while folding her arms; glowing eyes on the laughing blonde.

She covered her mouth restricting her laugh to explode when she saw how annoyed at how the brunette had become. 

"Okok, I trust you Hannah. But stop folding your arms and scowling at me, it's hilarious!"

In the end, she signalled defeat as the brunette's lips curve into a smirk while tickling the blonde's sides; making the blonde giggle uncontrollably.

"Fine stop.... P-please.... Okay I'll trust... You." 

Esalyn mutttered breathless from the tickling as she saw Hannah's eyes flicker to the big tree in front and even before she could regain her breath; she was being shoved forward by a smiley brunette.

Luckily, she managed to maintain her balance and didn't fall face flat. 

The smiling brunette didn't even show a tinge of regret as she continued talking:

"Don't you just love fall/autumn? When leaves turn yellow and fall, that's when you feel peace. A sense of coolness in you and it's the perfect season to sip on coffee or teas while reading a book, don't cha think?"

She stopped talking when she sensed a tall shadow hiding behind the tree, she quickly grabbed the blonde closer to her.

The blonde woman was actually shocked but she remained quiet; eyes on her friend as she surveyed a place out of view from the shadow. 

"Esalyn, please stay close to me..."

Hannah whispered, still interlacing her hands on Esalyn- her blue eyes oozing worry as she positioned herself in front of her.
