Chapter 24

Song for the chapter: So long Too long by Majek Fashek.

Quote for the day: "If you expose someone just because you're on bad terms, you're trash."

Ella's POV

"I see you're a big fan of Mahalia too." He said and I froze. I felt cold all of a sudden. I closed my eyes for a spilt second and I saw myself in a car with him having a conversation.

" I see you're a big fan of Mahalia too."

"Yes Mr Beck I'm in love with her voice."

"Can I get your name now?" He asked and I sighed.

"Ella."

"Ella..I like it!"

"Are you okay? You look flushed." He cast me a concerned look and I coughed.

"I'm fine..I just thought of something." I smiled, reassuringly.

"Oh that's fine." I could see something in his eyes but I didn't want to stare at him for so long. Something was off.

Why wasn't anybody telling me anything? I feel like I had some kind of connection with Beck and Douglas but no one was willing to explain. Who was Douglas talking about the other time? Did I have a boyfriend that I forgot about?

"Is it okay to call you Beck?" I asked and he smiled.

"Of course!"

"So that means we used to be close yeah."

"Yes we're close." He whispered and when I looked into his eyes, I felt comfortable like I was in a safe place.

He moved closer to me and I didn't move back even though I knew what was happening. My boss was going to kiss me! The phone on the table rang and he jolted back immediately.

He sighed. "Uhm I have to go Ella. Have a good night rest." He walked away, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

What just happened? There was only one person that I could talk to and it was Paul.

^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

I shuddered in disgust as Paul shoveled another slice of cake into his mouth. I wasn't surprised since he had been a foodie since day one but for someone so well built, it was surprising that with all the food and junk he ate, he didn't gain a pound.

Right now, we were at an ice cream shop which was completely Paul's idea because all I wanted to do was drink green tea at the shop down the road but it was fine, I was having my favorite red velvet cake and I filling Paul on the recent events that had taken place.

"So you're trying to say that," He began, as he cleaned the side of his lips with a tissue paper "You think you had a boyfriend before the accident? You fainted and then Beck asked if you were a fan of Mahalia." He watched me with his eyebrows raised as he waited for me to respond.

"Exactly my point." I slurped loudly on milkshake remembering the events that had taken place the night before.

"But what does Mahalia have to do with this?" He threw his head back in laughter, attracting the attention of the customers that were sitting at the table besides us and I scoffed. "No don't get me wrong but seriously what does she have to do with this?"
