It’s five in the evening and we are on the road returning back. The atmosphere in the car, you can say is totally gloomy. Nolan, driving his car like, he is in some car race or what; face without any emotion dark, like he could murder anyone who came in his way; just like the car who was in front of ours barely escaped the crash, that could have happened, if the man from other car didn’t leave way for Nolan.
I had my hands on my mouth, heart still thundering with nearly death experience. When I look at Nolan, I couldn’t find any kind of fear; instead he was determined to get back as fast as possible anyhow. Even if he could get in any possible accident, if he continue to drive recklessly like this.
After taking long breath, I steady my heart pace and close my eyes putting my head on back of car seat. Remembering how today’s even turn out to be; from the most exciting day of my life to this.
Few hours earlier….
“Nolan, is that you?” some unfamiliar female voice broke his laugh and stopped me on my track, with both hand hanging in the air. I turned my back to face the lady who just called Nolan.
When I turned back I found beautiful blond standing, sending her breath taking smile toward Nolan; which makes me want to pull her hair instead of Nolan, which I intend to do just few minutes earlier. That realization makes me realize another thing that my hands are still in the air, so I let it down and turn toward Nolan.
I found Nolan also smiling toward the beautiful blonde in recognition, I feel ping of jealously in me. But I choose to ignore it.
“Oh! Ebony what a pleasant surprise,” Nolan said coming out of his initial shock. And I just stand there, watching then exchange pleasantries. “What are you doing here?” Nolan reached to her. And she engulfs him with her hug smiling like getting some prize.
“I’m here for vacation and you?” she raises her eyebrow at him adding laughing, “it’s not like you can’t come here… it kind of surprise to see you here.”
First Nolan gives full blown laugh and said, “Sometime one need a break.”
“Yeah, that’s right, but you…,” she trail off pointing her finger toward Nolan.
“Me what?” Nolan tries to joke. I felt anger rising in myself. As they are talking like I don’t even exist there. When in reality I’m standing right behind them. But I didn’t raise my voice to make them known about my presence. Instead I’m waiting when Nolan will notice me. As I don’t give a damn about that blonde but Nolan; I wait few minutes watching them chat. With each second I’m boiling with anger but didn’t say anything.
After realizing that I will not get any response from him; I turn my left and try to walk away from their conversation. But Nolan grabs my wrist and pulls me toward him. I gasp from sudden intrusion and look his way to yell but no words comes from my mouth because he was smiling at me like this is the happiest day of his life.
He turn to blonde and introduce me to her, “Ebony, this is Adrina.”
I couldn’t keep my eyes from his face than other as I’m seeing another side of him today. I didn’t realize him calling my name until he put his hand my cheek to wake me up from the somber I’m having.
“Umm..,” I avert my eyes from him blushing. “Sorry, hi,” I greet blonde sheepishly, even though I know her name I like to call her blonde, I smirk inside my head.
“Hello, nice to meet you,” she says in a tone that feels like she don’t feel the same as her words saying.
So I keep my cool and answer with enthusiasm, “same here,” as right now I’m in his arm not her.
