BRYAN'S POV

"You like her don't you ?" I said to Ben as Anne left with Stella to the room

"What?"

"Anne, you are in love with her" 

He just stared at me, I knew I was right, I saw the way he looked at her; the way he kept staring at her when he thought no one was looking.

"She is my sister's friend and I care about her, that's all"

"I see"

"Look here, I don't trust you and you know that , I wont leave Anne here with you, now that we know the situation she is in, we can hide her well" Ben said clutching his fist

"Hiding her isn't the only solution, she can't keep hiding for the rest of her life, we have to find out why they are after her to find a good solution to this, I have a plan so I advice you leave it to me if you want her safe"  I sipped my drink

"How do you intend keeping her safe ?" He crossed his arms on his chest in a challenging way

"By this time tomorrow we will be on our flight to London, I have a house and a very tight security to keep her  safe there"

Ben was silent for sometime, before he finally said "if anything happens to Anne, trust me you won't be safe yourself!"

I laughed, the door to Damien room opened and he came out with only a shorts and a top, his hair a bit rough.

"Is there anything at home? I'm hungry" he said covering a yawn with his hand.

"We will prepare lunch". Anne said as they both came out and went straight to the kitchen 

Damien settled beside me "how's your arm?"

"Very fine, lesser pain"

He nodded "I will take off the stitches and change the bandages today"

"Thanks man, we are leaving tomorrow"

"Have you booked your flights already?"

"Yes I did that earlier"

He shifted closer and whispered "who are they?"

"Anne's best friend, Stella and Stella's brother" I whispered back

"Oh Okay"

Ben sat silently glaring at me. Within minutes the ladies came out with food and served. We ate in a awkward silence and I noticed Damien stealing short glances at Stella. Anne whispered something to her and they both giggled.

After lunch I followed Damien to his room to remove the stitches.

"Why were you stealing glances at her?" I asked

He was wrapping my arm with a new bandage "who? Stella?"

I nodded

"I just find her amusing"

"Hmm"

"What?"

I laughed "Nothing"
