When It Comes To Love, YOU NEVER KNOW by sunshinehkl (digital ebook reader txt) 📕

That pulled the trigger. Everything went red. “You_didn’t_just_do_that!” Kiara hissed through gritted teeth.

One hour later.

“Ouch!” Kiara flinched as Brian tried to apply medicine on the small wound on her forehead making Brian flinch as well.

“Just leave it Brian,” Kiara tried to persuade him again, “It’s just a small cut. You don’t need to tend it. It’ll heal itself in no time.”

Brian ignored her and kept doing what he was doing. Kiara frowned. “Come on Brian, you can’t keep ignoring me. Please talk to me?”

Brian didn’t reply this time either. Instead he tried to put a bandage on her forehead but Kiara slapped his hands away.

“What the hell Brian? Why won’t you talk to me? So I beat up some jerks on the street. What’s the big deal here? It was those jerks who were at fault. They started it. I only wanted to teach them a lesson. And I did teach them a lesson. Those bruises that I left them with will make sure that they don’t forget it for a long time. And what are you so concerned about. Where I left them with so many deep bruises, all I got is this poor excuse of a little cut on my forehead. I’m not even hurt! You are not really making any sense, do you realize it?”

“I’m not making any sense!” Finally came the outburst from Brian that Kiara was already expecting. “You go up and pick fights with thugs at night on an empty street where no one could possibly help if anything went wrong and I’m the one who’s not making any sense!  Why can’t you listen to me just once Kiara? Why couldn’t you just ignore them and leave the place without picking a damn fight? Why?”

“Well I was going to listen to you! I was going to ignore them and leave in peace but then that stupid jerk put his dirty mouth on my cotton candy! He dared to touch my hand and my cotton candy! You think I was going to let it go just like that? No. No one messes with Kiara Jones that badly and gets away with it.”

“Oh right! How could I forget that he dared to touch you cotton candy? Why did you let him go? You should’ve at least broke his hands for trying to steal you cotton candy.” Brian said sarcastically and then closed his eyes to calm his nerves.

“Look Kiara, why don’t you understand? Violence is not the solution for everything. In fact it’s not a solution at all for anything. Granted that guy shouldn’t have touched your hand or your cotton candy, he really was a jerk and was misbehaving with you. But that doesn’t mean that you should go and start a fight with him to make them behave. I mean there are laws in the country for Christ’s sake!”

He got up from the couch and started pacing as his nerves again started to pick up thinking about what danger the fight could’ve brought to Kiara. “We could just go to the police and make a report against him. They could’ve taken care of him. But no, instead you had to go and fight with three bug thugs in you own! Do you have any idea how torturous it was for me to watch you fight like that? Do you know how worried I was thinking you might get hurt? Have you got any idea how helpless I felt when I couldn’t help you fighting those guys knowing I’d only get your way? Do you even have any idea how dangerous that fight might have turn into? They could have guns with them Kiara, guns! You might have been killed!” Brian said swallowing the lump that formed on his throat. He couldn’t live with himself if anything happened to Kiara, he couldn’t imagine his life without her. “Picking up fights with street thugs just like that, what are you? Some high school delinquent? What the hell were you thinking? Why can’t you act a little more mature? You are 23 for god’s sake! You have a college degree and a job. In six months, you are going to be……” Brian stopped his sentence as soon as he turned and looked at Kiara. She had fallen asleep on the couch.

‘Great. I had been just talking to myself.’ He shook his head. A warm smile formed on his lips as he watched her sound asleep on the couch without any worry of the universe. He sighed and picked her up in his arms and headed to her bedroom. Reaching there, he gently placed her on her bed and removed her shoes. He then covered her with a blanket and then softly caressed her forehead. “What am I going to do with you, Miss Trouble Jones?” He whispered softly and then placing a light kiss on her forehead, he left her room.

He went to the kitchen to make sure Kiara has something to eat if she wakes up at the middle of the night and feels hungry. After taking care of it, he searched for her cell-phone and checked the status of it’s battery upon finding it. Satisfied with it, he went back to Kiara’s room to place the cell phone on her bedside table. He then closed all the windows and their candles. Only after checking and re-checking everything in place and making sure that Kiara won’t have any trouble finding anything she might possibly need, Brian left the house with the intention of coming back early the next morning in order to make her breakfast and then take her to the office with him.

Kiara woke up to the delicious smell of newly cooked food coming from her kitchen. ‘Brian.’ She murmured to herself instantly recognizing the smell. Only Brian could make steak smell like that.  She shook her head with a soft smile. She wasn’t surprised at all, it was an almost everyday task for Brian. She was used to his taking care of her all the time from their very childhood. That guy just don’t miss any opportunity to pamper her. Suddenly her stomach growled. She hadn’t eat dinner last night so she was naturally hungry and that mouth watering smell didn’t help her case much either. She didn’t feel like abandoning the bed just yet but her hunger wasn’t giving her much of a choice. Finally she gave in to her hunger and went to the washroom to freshen up.

15 minutes later when she entered kitchen, Brian had already finished cooking. “What are you doing here so early in the morning? Didn’t you go home last night?”

“Nope. I sang lullabies for you the whole night sitting beside your bed.”

Kiara rolled her eyes. “Haha. Very funny.”

 “Come-on now.” Brian said as he started putting plates on the table. “Hurry up and start eating. You have exactly one hour to finish your breakfast and get ready for the office.”

“Thirty minutes is all I need,” Kiara said as she sat down on the chair to start eating her breakfast.

One hour later Brian pulled up his car in front of their office. Kiara and Brian work as interns in an famous advertising company, well temporarily as in six months they’ll be both joining their family business which is owned by their fathers. Yes Kiara’s father and Brian’s father are business partners and good friends and that’s why their families were really close to each other. Their fathers wanted them to join the family business right after they were out of college but they wanted to do something different and on their own before they joined the family business. Needless to say, they both wanted to apply for a job where they could work together since they’ve always been together since they could remember. They had same elementary school, same middle school, same high school, same college and they even majored in the same subject in college, which’s probably one of the few common things between them. Another common thing about them is despite their striking differences in their personalities both of them were outstanding students. They had acquired outstanding grades in every single subject. So when they applied for this one year internship job, thanks to their grades, they had no trouble getting it and both of them are doing really well at their jobs since they are extremely talented. But six months had already passed since they joined the company and they had only six more months remaining in this company much to their employee’s dismay. They were so full of fresh and innovative ideas that it was hard for him to let them go. But he really didn’t have any choice since that was the deal from the very beginning.

As Kiaraand Brian entered the office and then settled down on their respective booths, their manager entered the room and drew everyone’s attention. “Hello everyone, from today onwards a new intern will be joining our company. Let me introduce Miss Heather Brown who will be working with us from today” he said gesturing towards the door as a woman seemingly the same aged as Kiara and Brian entered the room. “Welcome to our office Miss Brown, I hope you enjoy your stay at our office.”

She smiled at the manager and thanked him for his warm welcome. She was around 5'6" with an hourglass figure that looked classy in her formal attire. Her smooth silky brown hair with blonde highlights almost reached her waist. Her hazel eyes and olive tanned skin only accentuated her beauty even more. In short, she was just stunningly gorgeous. She almost looked like a living version of a Barbie doll. As she turned her head from the manager to greet the rest of the office staff with a shy smile, Kiara heard someone gasp beside her only to realize later it was Brian as he grabbed her hand in apparent shock.

“Kiara, it’s her”, he whispered breathlessly as he seemed frozen on his spot. “My dream girl. The love of my life. She is the one.”

One week later

“She is just so perfect, Kiara! I still can’t believe that someone so perfect actually exits on earth! Everything she does, everything she says, every single thing about her screams perfection. Have
