Just A Step Away

Chapter 35

Katherine's POV:

I still think this is not a good idea.

'I know.'

"Nothing will happen to you. I promise." Darwin said when Omer greeted his friends after reaching to the Pub. It was like he read my mind, sensed my feelings or felt my pain.

I looked at my surrounding. I don't know why but I was feeling bad, like something bad was waiting for us.

I felt Darwin cupped my chin and made me look at him.

"Because of my mistakes, I lost my home but you will never lose your savior." He bored his eyes into mine and said.

I won't lie, I believed his words. He looked determined and confident on what he was saying.

He smiled when I nodded in response.

Suddenly my phone started ringing. I went in the corner when I saw the Caller's ID.

"Hello?"

"I have good news for you." He said excitedly.

"You've tracked his location?" I smiled happily. Finally.

"Yes. I've got all the information related to him. He is very dangerous Miss. Katherine. I've got to know the strangest thing about him. He-"

"Jasmine where are you?" I heard Omer calling from behind.

"Look, send me all his details and listen to me very carefully. I will now face him and get all my answers but as you said before, he can harm me. So, if anything happened to me or if you don't heard anything from my side then give all the details you have of him to the Police. Okay?" I said quickly and hang up.

I went where Omer and Darwin were standing.

"Jasmine, I want to take you somewhere. Come with me." With that he took my hand and dragged me with him. I turned around and saw Darwin. His eyes were never leaving mine.

"Omer, where are we going?" I asked when we passed the heavy crowd and radar of Darwin.

"Wait a bit." He laughed on my curiosity and said.

Few moments later I found us on terrace. I looked at Omer with confusion.

'What is he trying to do on terrace?'

"Can you see those two stars which are together?" He asked.

I nodded in response, still confused.

"When you see them from here, they look close but when you get closer, you notice their distance." He said while looking at those stars. I waited patiently when he continued.

"You know what the best part is? They know that they can never meet but they still chose each other to shine together for the world." He took my hands and kissed my knuckles.

"Katherine, I know you very well and I know that you can never love me but one cannot spend his whole life alone, right? Katherine, I care for you, I respect you, and I feel happy with you. I can never find someone as loyal and as honest as you and I don't want to settle on less. Katherine I promise, I will give you my honesty, loyalty and love with my whole heart to you and in return, I just want you to be by my side. Always. Katherine, will you give me a chance in your life?"

I was standing shell shocked in front of him. He said everything which was perfect at that moment. I wanted him by my side so that Darwin would stay away from me but when he actually said all those things, I was stunned and nervous for my answer.
