“A little but I understand. Sorry” he said sincerely

I chuckled. He planted a kiss in my head. Exactly our food came it looks mouth-watering.

“Looks delicious…Dig up.”  He said

I nod and ate. Now I’m confused do I see him not only as a friend but also a lover? I’m afraid of these feelings I’m afraid to see or feel it. While eating something came through my mind.

“Trick can I ask you something?” I asked

“Sure… It seems serious ha.” He said

I breathe deeply and tried to calm myself. “Are you in a relationship?” I asked seriously.

He stared at me with clouded eyes. He took a sip before he answered, “No Ely, I’m not in a relationship actually I’m in love with this girl I know.”

“Oh… Can I know her name?” I’m bemused

“Not yet… but you know her very well.” He said

Now I’m puzzled. I could not read him maybe he was really serious.

“Whoever she is, don’t she dare hurt you or else I will beat the shit….” He cuts me

“Out of her, I know.” He snapped

We continued eating as soon as we done we left the restaurant. We went to the cab lane. When we got one I entered inside and waved at him but surprisingly he went inside as well.

“You’re coming with me?” I asked confusingly

“Yes. Apparently I wanted to see grandma and Martin.” He smirked then squeezed my hands to his.

I saw the driver glanced at us he was thinking we were lovers as I could read in his eyes. We traveled quietly while I fell into a sleep. I felt Trick moved his other hand to placed my head in his shoulders and gave a kiss in my top head. When we arrived it’s already 8 in the evening.

“Ely wake up were here already.” He said softly

I just nod. I was really exhausted both physical and emotionally too much revelation for this day. He smirked at me. When I didn’t wake up he carried me like a bridal style. The driver laughed at us and I felt my cheeks were burning. “Okay I’m up.” I snapped

“I thought you won’t” he smirked

“Mr. Brooke, Are you smirking at me again? And please let me go down.” I protested

“Am I in trouble Ms. Austen no I won’t let you down.” He smirked and started to walk.

“Yes you are.” I shouted. I tried to protest but he carried me very firmly. When I got tired he glanced at me and smirked. I could not stop myself to smirk also he was so warm and strong. He let me down when we were already in the doors.

“Thanks.” I said

“As always.” He said

We walked inside the castle and found Martin.

“Good evening Lady Evelyn.” Said Martin

“Good evening Martin.” I answered

“Good evening Mr. Brooke…” he said surprisingly

“Martin. Long time no see you don’t need to be formal as always.” He said

“Yes of course. I’m sorry my lady we did not prepared anything for this evening we thought…” I cut him. I could see he was worried.

“It’s alright we already ate and forgave us for this sudden event.” I said to him then I smiled

 “Me and Trick will be in my gallery.” I added. He nod and leaved us alone.

We went to my gallery quietly. When we arrived I showed to him some of my artworks.

“It’s beautiful.” He said

I nod and smiled. “I want to show you something.” I said. We went to one of the portraits hung in the walls. He was amazed it was a mosaic of us looking at the skies in spring time.

“You liked it?” I asked happily

He nod and smiled at me. He touched the portrait and looked at me. His eyes became unreadable I could not distinguished his emotions anymore.

“Do you know what I wanted to do that time?” he asked utterly

“No, I don’t” I said.

He came nearer to me as I could feel his breathe in me. I was tense in this sudden changed of the atmosphere. He whispered something in my ear which I could not understand until I felt something in my lips his lips kissing me passionately which I kissed back.

I looked around in this gallery, I wanted to see Anne no she was Evelyn Austen this point of time. As I scanned the whole place the portraits were hung in the walls. I could hear the critics how they complement each of her art works that made me feel proud. They were right even I, I’m fascinated with all of these. The portraits showed her different emotions inside her heart they were beautiful as her but most of these are grieve and sorrow. She could not forget the past she was tormented by it. As I roamed paparazzi came through me. They asked interviews which I refused and walked away. I hate them I hate it when they pestering my life. I wanted my life to be private as possible as I could. I didn’t care if they put something in their papers about me. Once more I searched around until I found her staring dreamily to a portrait.

6 years passed, inside those years I tried to forget but I couldn’t, I had 15 girlfriends inside those years I made love or fuck each of them. I tried to love them and be contented but I couldn’t. I ended up breaking their hearts or receiving slaps from them, I didn’t want to betray them but I must because I knew they will end up miserable. I’m always empty until Anne came to my life she was my sunlight who filled me. Her smiles and laughter’s brightens my life. I wanted to see those things. Until one day, I found her in the newspapers she was famous not only as a painter but also a writer. I asked my secretary to buy me one of her books which she did diligently. When I received the book I cancelled all my meetings for that day just to spend time reading the book. As I read the book entitled “TORMENTED” very ironic. The story was about an orphaned girl who doesn’t know anything about herself until she met a boy who was fund of magic, as the story progress in the end she was left alone in a dark forest. According to news, the book earned billions of dollars all around the world and there will be a sequence of it. When I was reading I felt more guilt to what I did to her. I hurt her a lot and I realized I need to see her again. I need to be with her even I knew all the risks but I will take any chances. In all those years my love for her never vanished instead it bloomed more.

Now I’m here in this gallery staring at her. She grew up into a fine lady and became more attractive than before. Memories were coming back her soft lips, black eyes, and mostly her beautiful smiles I missed her a lot. I felt guilt when I did not trust her 6 years ago that cause pain to the both of us. Even I’m just staring at her it felt like the first time I saw her. I walked through her and felt her uneasiness. I placed myself beside her.

“Anne.” I said

“Ted” she replied.  She seems surprised that I was here in her exhibit. She’s more beautiful than I expected.

“Why are you here? And don’t called me with that name” she snapped.

She’s still the same, the Anne I had loved all those years. “Sorry. What am I supposed to do here?” I smirked

“I mean are you also like the others want to be amazed or something?” she answered. Irritation filled our conversation. I remembered when we first encountered each other both of us teasing each other and how I dragged her just to be with her.

“How rude…” I smirked

 “Very well I hope you enjoy your staying here. Please excuse me.” she said and wore her fake smile. She turned her heels and walked away. I stared at her the whole time and saw some man giving her a bear hug. It seemed they were really close her bright smile could brighten the whole room. Blood rushed through my head. Damn! Put his damn arms down and get away from her. I wanted to punch the guy with my owned strength. She sensed my jealousy and left instantly. If this is the game, I need to fight until the end until I felt her in my arms. I gazed at the portrait in front me. It was entitled as the sunset it looks familiar, yes, I remembered we watched together the sunset in Seattle. I remembered her expressions back then. She never forgotten me I smiled at myself. I leaved the gallery and went to the parking lot. The battle of hearts was starting right now. I had many opponents the giant ass man, the emotions especially the past. But liked I said before I will risks any chances I had just to have her even it takes time to fixed the broken pieces. I tilt my head and gazed at the clouds.

He kissed me passionately until it deepens. It felt so good but no sparks appeared it’s different from the kisses of Ted. I stopped and stared at him with blank emotion. No! This is wrong I’m kissing my best friend. And why the heck Ted came through my middle of this situation?

“I’m sorry.” He whispered

I’m speechless I don’t know what to say. All these things were just sudden I didn’t expect all of these. I just only wanted to see my best friend but ending like this. I continued to stare at him. His expressions were unreadable like mine until I recovered myself.

“It’s alright. Let’s just forget about this. You know I don’t want to be awkward.” I joked

I started to move away until I felt him grabbing my arms. I glared at him. “What? Let go of me!” I jerked

“Don’t you have any idea?! You said forget all of these, how could I do that if I am in love with my best friend?” He shouted

I’m astounded with this sudden revelation.

“Yes I’m madly in love with you Evelyn Austen! You’re amazed! I loved you since the day you bumped me with your lunch tray, I loved you since the day you teased me most of all you had bewitched me Ely all those sweetness and rudeness of yours.” He said furiously

“I don’t know what to say.” I
