After staring at the screen for a second, Nicolas disconnected the call. Daisy asked in a confused tone, turning her head towards Nicolas’s direction, “Will you not pick up? Your dad was calling you.”
Flashing a small smile, Nicolas again fixed his eyes on the road and replied nonchalantly, “He must be calling for asking me to attend any stupid business deal or something like that. No matter when he calls, he always spoils my mood. So in no way, I want that selfish old man to ruin my mood.”
Daisy replied a little puzzled, “What if he has something important to talk about? You should at least listen to what he is saying.”
“My kind one, you don’t have to worry about this. I will handle it,” Nicolas whispered, placing his one hand on Daisy’s head a
“You unfilial son! Why are you not picking up your phone?”The tall silhouette blurted out angrily. The person was in formal clothes, perfectly neat and clean. His clothes were ironed so perfectly that there was not a single wrinkle. Even his black pair of boots were sighing, reflecting the bright light of the room. He spoke in a harsh and raw voice. There was a clear sign of annoyance and anger in his expression.Daisy immediately recognized the person who was standing in front of her. It was none other than Nicolas’s father Mr Walker. Seeing him Daisy immediately hid behind Nicolas. His appearance was so overpowering and dominating that it could make anyone uncomfortable.But Nicolas’
Wrapping his one hand around Daisy’s waist Nicolas led her inside the well-decorated restaurant. The restaurant was not looking very costly but it was neat and clean. All the waiters were dressed in black and with a small plastic smile on their lips, they were warmly welcoming their customers. The name of the restaurant was ``Grill to Chill,” decorated with bright light and hanging at the top of the shop.Nicolas led Daisy to a table at the corner of the restaurant from where the road was visible. A raw drizzling rain started to clean the road in front of them, wetting the passerby who was not ready to welcome it with an umbrella. The waiter followed us. Nicolas was ordering when Daisy's eyes were fixed on the road, seeing the rain. The rainy season was her all-time favourite. So rain always used to influence her mood badly.Interrupting her reverie
Two days later,“Daisy darling, stop wasting time in noting down all these boring lectures and let’s go,” Helen shouted impatiently, standing next to Daisy's seat. She was kinda jumping in excitement and was looking excited. Well, we can’t blame her for acting abnormally like that. It was after all the most awaited selection day for the football teams. So, every girl was on cloud nine and super excited for that day. Though most of them didn’t have the basic football knowledge, they were not ready to miss the opportunity to see all the shirtless boys soaked in sweats.Helen was no exception. She was so excited about the match that she didn’t even bother to note down the lectures. During the whole class, she was, again and again, watching her watch like all other girls. It was a rare incident where girls were more e
Hearing the familiar husky voice, Daisy immediately recognized the person who was standing behind her. He was none other than Nicolas. Nicolas spoke again, feeling Daisy’s surprised state, “Why so surprised, my little kitten? Didn’t expect me here?”His nearness was overwhelming. He was looking so handsome in his deep blue jersey that her breath caught in her throat. She couldn’t miss the musky smell of him as he pressed her closer to him. Nicolas was wearing a blue jersey and a blue cap in both number 7 was engraved in white.Daisy tried to ignore the strange aching in her limbs and replied in a slightly shaky voice, “Shit, Nick. you almost scared me. What are you doing here? Aren’t you going to play?”“Well, the next match is ours,” He whispered again nea
“This Ruth! She never loves to leave Nick alone, I guess,” Helen murmured, staring in the same direction where Daisy was staring.Daisy swallowed the despair in her throat and replied in a low, tormented voice, “Umm. She belongs there. After all, she is going to be the future Mrs Nicolas Walker.” While speaking the last few words, Daisy’s voice trembled slightly in pain and a bitter smile curled up her beautiful lips. She mumbled in a very low and inaudible tone, “Near yet so far.”“I highly doubt that Nick will marry this weird girl. Nick doesn’t have such a terrible choice,” Helen stated in her usual casual tone. Then turning in Daisy’s direction, she added, “Daisy, I understand your feelings towards him and the pain you hide behind your smile. But I will tell you, don’t overt
“Ouchh! It hurts. What are you trying to do, Joseph? Don’t touch there,” Daisy heard Lucas's voice from the outside of the green room while entering inside. Dean was leading her the way. Pushing the glass door open, he asked Daisy to enter inside.During the match, Daisy didn’t notice any injuries of any players and she knew that every team had their doctor for treating the injuries, so why did Lucas call her? Daisy had numerous unanswered questions in her mind but she didn’t ask any of them.“I am coming in,” Daisy announced from outside and entered the first aid room. There were only two people in the first-aid room. They both turned their heads to look in Daisy’s direction. One of them was Lucas whose face was looking pale and Daisy couldn’t recognize the other guy who was kneeling in front of Lucas
“Where are we going, Nick? Can you walk a little slower?” Daisy asked in a confused tone. Her voice was breathy. Nicolas was walking so fast that it was hard for Daisy to match his speed without running. Nicolas didn’t bother to reply to her.Nicolas opened the door of a staff room which was exactly at the end of the stadium then holding Daisy’s wrist, he entered inside and immediately locked the door.Daisy mumbled again in a low nervous tone, “Nick? What’s wrong? Are you angry?” Then after a little pause, she stated, while tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, “Congratulations Nick. You played awesomely.”Nicolas was standing, turning his face in the direction of the wall. Hearing Daisy’s last sentence, he turned his head slightly. He gave her a si
Three Months Later,“Mom, please. I want to go. Please let me go,” Daisy pleaded while following her mother to the kitchen.Rhea replied in her same determined tone, “Noo. I have already said. Why are you still nagging?”“But why mom? Why can’t I go? Everyone is going. Please let me go. Even the exam is over. What will I do alone at home?” Daisy asked in a demanding tone, staring at her mom with her puppy eyes.For the last one hour, Daisy was following her mother everywhere and trying her best to convince her but her mother was determined at that time. She was not ready to let Daisy go on the college tour. She hadn’t forgotten how bad Daisy was looking when she returned from the departmental tour last time.
“Mom, you are looking so beautiful. I am worried that you will steal the limelight tonight.” “You little punk! Are you jealous of your mom now?” Daisy asked teasingly while combing the raven black hair of Dawn. Dawn was looking like a little male doll in the fancy black tuxedo. He looked more like Nicolas in that formal clothes. “Of course I am. if you steal all the attention then nobody will look at me, “ Little Dawn complained while caressing his mother’s cheeks. But after a tiny pause, he added while pulling Daisy’s cheeks, “So soft. My mommy is the best.” Giggling Daisy patted her son affectionately. Then placing a quick kiss on dawn’s cheek, she stated, “And you are the most handsome boy here. Happy Birthday, my little dawn. Mom loves you the most. Now go and attend to the guests. Granny is waiting for you i
“Who are you?”With a charming smile, Nicolas knelt in front of the little boy and picked him up from the ground. Then place a small kiss on his chubby cheek, Nicolas replied, “I am your mother’s friend. You can just call me Uncle.”“Mother’s friend! My mother never talked about it or I have never seen you in my house. Why should I trust you? Mom said not to talk with strangers. What if you are also an evil stranger who wants to steal me,” the kid immediately complained, pouting his lips. But his eyes were scanning Nicolas’s face, after a little pause, he added with a relaxed expression on his face, “But you don’t look like a kidnapper though.”“Really? So how do I look?” Nicolas asked with his mysterious smile. He just met with the
“At last I found you.”Startled, Daisy looked back and saw Nicolas was staring at her with a devilish smirk on his face. She saw the heart-rending tenderness of his gaze. Daisy immediately tried her wrist to set free from his grip forcefully but his grip was so strong that all her attempts went in vain.“Don’t try. I am not going to leave your hand anymore,” Nicolas murmured in his low and weak tone. There was a maddening hint of arrogance in his tone.“Let my hand go. Why are you awake? You should be sleeping to recover first,” Daisy replied in a shaky tone, inhaling sharply. The sudden touch of Nicolas caught her off-guard, making her shiver in familiar awareness.Pulling her a little closer to his body, Nicolas whispered, stil
(6 years later. In Santa Ana)“Madam, a new patient has arrived from an accident case. He has lost too much blood and is in critical condition. You have to come,” A nurse in white dress entered inside the cabin and stated in an impatient tone. From her tone, it was clear that she was in a hurry.“But my working hours are over already. It is midnight already. Where is Dr Park? Contact him and ask him to come,” the lady doctor replied while packing her bag. That day was quite a long day for her. She had six long surgeries that day and then checked on the other patients. So she was already too drained after so much work.“Hello, Dr Park, there is a new patient. Come as fast as possible. He has already lost too much blood,” the nurse already started calling when the lady doctor came o
Where is Nick?”“Nick is not here. He left the moment he saw the video,” Jason replied, looking at Daisy with startled eyes. Along with Daisy, Helen also entered the room.Grabbing Daisy’s wrist, she stated, “Daisy. I am sure that Nick is working on finding the truth behind it. You just calm down and wait for him.”“I am already calm. Just tell me where is Nick?” Daisy murmured impatiently.Alex replied from behind in his calm tone. “He is on the rooftop. But I will suggest that you shouldn’t meet him.”But even before Alex could finish his sentence Daisy started running in the direction of the rooftop. On the way, she collided with a few students from th
With the loud sound of the alarm on her phone, Daisy woke up from sleep and found herself on the bed of the hotel room. Squinting her eyes several times sleepily, Daisy sat on her bed, rubbing away the sleep from her eyes.“Ugh! My head! What’s wrong with it!” Daisy murmured while holding her head. Her head was feeling extremely heavy at that moment and it was hard for her to open her eyes properly.Checking the room with a glance, Daisy decided to sleep again. There was no sign of Helen in the room. Even her bed was neatly organized so it was clear that she didn't return yet and the clock was showing only 7 am.Daisy laid down again and instantly fell asleep. The heat of her body already reduced at that moment but her cheeks were still red like tomatoes and there was a small red hickey
Blood! Crimson Blood soaked the yellow t-shirt of Jason.When Daisy, Nicolas, Alex and Helen reached outside the hotel, they found Jason lying under the shade of an empty shade of a closed food stall. There were rarely any visitors on the road at such late hours of the night.Jason was lying in a pool of blood, pressing his right hand on the wound of his left hand which was bleeding badly.“Jason! Oh my God! You are bleeding so badly,” Helen cried, kneeling next to Jason and pulling his head on her lap.“Let’s take him back inside the hotel. He can’t walk as his left knee is also injured so we have to carry him,” Alex stated, standing next to Nicolas who was examining Jason with a curious and worried expression.
As the first ray of the sun fell on Daisy’s face, squinting and blinking her eyes several times, Daisy, at last, managed to open her eyes. Sleepily she turned her head and found Nicolas’s handsome face just inches away from her.He was still asleep but his one hand was wrapped around her waist and they both were sleeping only in their undergarments. A sly smile curled up Daisy’s beautiful lips as the memories of last night flashed back in her mind. Last night was really special for her, different from any other nights of the past. She never felt Nicolas so deeply like she felt last night.After staring at his handsome face for quite a long while caressing his cheek, Daisy set herself free from his embrace as carefully as possible, not to wake him up and then stood up.Instinctively her eyes shifted
“Sorry!”Alex immediately interrupted them, while dusting the sands from his clothes.Then while stretching his body and yawning tiredly, Alex added, “No way I can stay awake anymore. I am also returning to the room.”“Ok, then Daisy and Nick have fun on the beach. We will just head back to our rooms,” Jason replied excitedly while dragging Helen along with him.Nicolas immediately asked in a confused tone, “Then where will we go?”“Exactly? Do we have to share a room with Alex?” Daisy asked in a confused tone.With a gummy smile, Jason answered back while scratching the back of his head, “Yeah! Something like
