Back To You by Msy Dee (namjoon book recommendations .TXT) 📕

me. For this moment, we kissed harder. Not letting go and be there for each other..

We have sex on the couch, lying down together holding each other hands.

“I will show you the nearest convenient store and we can grab something from that for your lunch or something. I will be back tomorrow at 6.00pm and we can go out for dinner. Okay?”

“Okay, I will wait for you at home”

Gab carried me to the bed and we rest for the night.

 

-Rrringgggg- Gab’s alarm rang.

I woke him up, helped him with the dressing and followed him to check out the nearby convenient store that he mentioned yesterday. I grabbed some stuffs and tidbits for my rest of the day time spending at home. Gabriel sent me back home and rushed for work already.

So, my day alone started. 1 week before I return back home for my temporarily job. Yes, I got the call yesterday while we were outside after the hotair balloon experience. They offered me the job till my school starts and the shift work is just nice for me. Better than nothing I guess.

I did some cleaning of the house and washed the laundry.

I on the tv and search for some movie to kill time, chatted with mum telling her how I am doing here and the temp job. Then I decided to take a shower and realized that my period came. And I did not bring any sanitary pad here, thought it won’t come so soon.

I suppose Gab house did not have any and I changed myself and text Gab that I am going down to grab something “important”. He did not reply and I assume he’s in a meeting but I can’t wait. I grabbed the spare key and head down to the convenient store.

 

While I am paying for the stuff, I received a text from Gab. “Okay, but hurry go home as soon as you are done. I will be back soon”

“Ok, see you!”

I walked back home, and notice that there’s someone watching me from the other side of the road. We exchange eye contact and he walked away in a hurry..

I did not put too much attention on it and continue walking.

I turned into a valley and about to go inside the building. Suddenly a guy grabbed me from behind, covering my mouth and trying to snatch my phone and stuff even though he have no idea what’s inside. I tried to struggle, I am so panic and not sure what to do. I can’t able to get hold of his face, all I can think wishing somebody to save me. I can tell it’s a man, the strength and the thickness of his arm, he’s too strong for me. He pushed me to the wall to avoid anyone seeing us when they pass by. I tried to shout but he slapped me, a hard one.

“Do not shout, or I will kill you.”

My tears can’t stop rolling, I am in so much fear that I pray for somebody come and save me. I have the chance to look at this man while he’s keeping a lookout at our surrounding.. He’s a middle age guy, probably in his 40s, quite built and bulky, brown hair with a tattoo on his neck.

He caught me looking at him, he glared at me fiercely. Took out his swiss knife and walking closer.. He’s gonna silence me here. Out of the sudden, we heard somebody talking and walking towards us. The guy covered my mouth with the knife pointing my neck, by putting a slight pressure from his strength.. I know that there’s a slight cut and the wound start to hurt. “Don’t even try to report the police, or I will find you and kill you”

He grabbed my phone and ran away. The passerbys saw him running and suspect something is up. They quickly walked in the building and saw me crying at the corner and called the police immediately.

Chapter 21 - Angel

 

The doctor helped to clean my wound and said that it’s a slight cut and I will be fine after a few days. I just kept nodding as I don’t quite that understand French.

“Laylea!” I heard somebody calling for me. I saw Gabriel running through the curtains and look for me. The nurses and police are trying to stop him but when he opened the curtain where I am being treated in, he saw me. He paused for a few seconds and run to me and held me in his arms.

I cried again, unknowingly. It’s Gabriel this time, him coming to save me.

“Baby, are you alright. Oh gosh, I am so gonna kill the bastard who did this” He said.

Then one of the policeman spoke something, Gabriel let me go and get me seated down. He mumbled something to the doctor and went out. I saw him talking to the police and he looked really really mad. He clench his fist a few times during the conversation, the doctor finished cleaning my wound and went out. Gab came back in with the policemen.

“Baby, they are trying to take your statement. Do you think you are in the right state?

We can always go down to the police station when you are feeling better.” He frowned after saying.

“Is okay, tell them to feel free and ask questions. I wish to go home”

Gab came over and hugged me again. 

“Yes, it will be soon over. And I will bring you home”

Gab helped with the translation and I gave all the details that I have to the police. They took down my statement and we are free to go. Gabriel helped me to the car and hold me tight as if he‘s not letting anyone to touch me or talk to me.  

We did not talk at all in the car

“Have you informed your parents about this?” He asked strictly.

“No, please don’t let them know of this. If not they will get panic and even fly over here to bring me home.”

He kept quiet and continued driving.

When we reached home, he get me to sit down. He looked at me and kept quiet.. I know that he’s angry as I have never see him like this before. He give off the vibe that he’s about to kill anyone who speak up the next second.

“Get some rest, I will go down to buy the sanitary pad for you” He said

I stood up and went to him

“I am sorry for this to happen. Please don’t get mad at me” I looked at him with my teary eyes. Wanting him to calm down and talk to me again

He hold me and said “Laylea, I am not angry at you at all. I know this is an accident that neither of us wants. I am angry at that bastard for hurting you, I am angry at myself for not returning back early. I am the one who should apologize to you. I am sorry”

I wipped off my tears and hugged him. “I am okay now you see. Please do not blame yourself. Let’s just hope that the police can catch him soon.”

Gab hugged me and carried me to the bed, and he went out to get the stuff for me. I felt so tired that I did not have the last spare energy to wait up for him. I fell asleep a while later..

The next morning, I woke up with a sting on my neck. Yes, somebody attacked and robbed me. I went out and find Gabriel talking in his study room, “Yes, I                                                                      will be taking a few days off from work. Please take care of this project, I trust you in this.”

I went to wash up and found Gabriel at the kitchen preparing breakfast.

He saw me and put down the things, walked to me asking “Good morning sunshine, how are you? I took a few days off and accompany you at home ” He kissed my forehead.

“You don’t have to do this. I can manage on my own at home” I did not want him to miss his work because of me since he has just got promoted. I felt bad for this

“I am free from projects anyway. Don’t worry, everything is fine. Come have your breakfast”

I ate a bit and put down the fork.

“Whats wrong? Are you feeling hurt somewhere? Should I bring you to the doctor?” He asked with much worries.

“I am fine, just that I do not have much appetite. I will eat it later”

 

He nodded at me and hold me to the couch to sit down. He cleaned up the dishes and came back with some hot tea.

He looked at me “Tell me if you need anything. I will be right here with you”

I gave him a weak smile to assure him again I am alright.

Actually I do need something. I asked Gabriel to get me a new phone to in case my parents contact me. So we changed and head out to town

I put a scarf around my neck to avoid any attention in public, I also remind Gabriel not to get so worked up by protecting me too much. He insisted at first but he understands where my intention is and nodded to my requests.

We went to the town to get a new phone with a new number. So while Gab is settling the administrative stuff with the dealer, I called my mum. I felt like crying the moment I hear her voice. I missed her ~

I told them I dropped my phone in the water and it can’t work anymore. So this is my new number that they can contact me with.

After the call, Gabriel came to my side and put his hand at my waist and we exit the shop.

We decided to stop by some café for lunch and he ordered a sandwich for me.

While we are eating, I noticed the guy who is sitting behind Gabriel looking at us. I saw his face and it’s the guy who attacked me. I shouted for Gabriel to tell him, and the guy ran away. Gabriel give it a chase after him, I followed behind.

I hurried call the police, and I followed closely behind Gabriel.. Not wanting to lose the sight of him but they are running too fast.

In the end, I lost them. The police managed to catch up on me and we went on searching for Gabriel. While making a turn, I saw Gabriel fighting with the guy in a valley. I hurried stop the policeman and we got off the car. The guy is surrounded by police and end up surrendering with his hands on the wall. He dropped his knife and the police cuffed him and take him to the car. I went up to Gabriel to check on him, he smiles at me and I saw him bleeding. He got stabbed by the criminal.

The officer who was standing around quickly sends us to the hospital, and Gabriel was pushed into a surgery room. I waited impatiently, walking around and praying please not to have anything happen to Gabriel.
