She smiled at him, it was just too easy to move her heart.
When she was in the club she used to believe the owner was her father, whenever he came to the club she would run up to him addressing him as dad and would nag him to take her back to home. The man first brushed her off but when she got troublesome he shunned her away with scoldings. Bee was hurt thinking that she had no parents; did they lost her or didn't want her at all.
She did use to talk to everyone and be merry with them but deep down she couldn't escape from the fact that she was nothing more than a lonely soul. She had no one to tell her a bed time story, kiss her cheeks or pat her head... There was nowhere where she really belonged.
Now, when this man whom she had met two days before was showing something towards her. Providing her with everything and even making her stay with him; Bee for the first time felt as if she too meant something to someone.
Ryan turned around to look at the approaching girl and shoved his gun back; Bee stood at a safety distance and waited for him to reply. Else than a wall of straight silence she got nothing. The forest was still with nothing but the sound of breeze brushing; the girl had her head down as she felt his sharp piercing gaze on herself. This was one of the most awkward positions one could be in, when you screwed up and the other person is staring at you.The man finally made a move, taking his eyes off her he walked up to the table and took a bottle in his hand. Twisting open the cap he started taking small sips of the content in it. Bee waited a bit more for him to tell her his purpose of summoning her but nothing happened.Giving up Bee spoke again, "Mr. Neguyen, what did you call me for?" The man stopped what he was doing and spoke, "I asked you to call me Ryan." Bee touched her chin and asked, "You called me to tell me to call you Ryan?" "No..
While the man was on his own thoughts Bee looked around a bit, the forest was dark and full of greenery. There were tall trees of oak and pine and many more which were not in her knowledge but she loved watching them. She started to take minute steps away from the training area; seeing that she was straying away the man got off his seat and trailed her lest she hurt herself.This was the first time when the girl had seen so many trees at one place; in the past four years she had no memory of seeing anything so wonderful. Her world was limited within the street where her club stood and to her forest was that abandoned park on the next lane. Looking around and lost in herself her legs took her to the bushes behind the backyard.She didn’t realise till she stopped on her tracks to find herself covered in woods; looking around she could not find the trace of the bungalow which moments ago
He took the flower from her and kept mum; it’s been a long time since he felt so good. After that incident he blamed himself for everything; if she didn’t trust him that day and refused to come out with him that wouldn’t have happened to her. Her trust on him caused her such a misfortune; he looked at the cheerful girl who was jumping around him happily.He himself had no idea what he was thinking when he pulled her hand; Little Bee didn’t expect this sudden ambush and went crashing into his chest. “Ouch, it’s hard. Do you eat stones. I...” She complained but the man turned a deaf ear towards her as he hugged her head close to his chest. She was struggling at first but stopped when her ears picked on a rhythm; she halted at once and listened attentively to his heartbeat. His heart was thumping rapidly inside his chest and for some reason Little Bee developed nostalgia over it.The man held her
The next day when he came to work he was a bit shocked to discover the usually punctual Bee was nowhere to be seen and like every day was not waiting for him. He was a bit unsettled at first but decided not to worry and started cleaning up, maybe she was sleeping a little too long today.Uneasy was when he felt when she didn’t show up when the work was officially started. When the woman working in there came down in their suave self he inquired if they saw her. They replied that they failed to notice her and have not seen her since last night. Thanking them the man ran up to the room where she stayed; the door was locked.She wasn’t even home!Where could she be? Vaguely tensed he went back and started asking everyone if they have seen her; everyone’s reply was the same- they had not heard from her since last night. His eyebrows involuntarily frowned; Bee was not someone who would go out alone and even
Bee was overjoyed as she walked up to the phone and received it; keeping it on her ears she tried to hear the other side but to her surprise it was as silent as a graveyard. Bee pushed the phone closer into her ears but it was still silent; how can Prince Charming be this silent. The girl didn’t mind as she cheerfully greeted, “Prince Charing, how are you today.”Ryan stared into void without replying, he had been awfully busy for the last two days and was packed even now but there was no denying that talking to her felt more important than anything. Every night he would ask Jack and make sure she was alright there. Seeing him mum the girl said ‘Hello’ quite a few times before looking up at the maid and replying disheartened, “Phone is broken!”The man abruptly snapped out of his fantasies when he heard her, without wasting another second he replied slowly, “I am here.”
Little Bee’s eyes widened, “For real?” Jack was blowing up with rage, he walked up to Ryan and whispered, “This is a really bad idea... We will die of exhaustion by the team we reach Orleans.” Ryan actively ignored him, turning the other side he promised, “I will be by your side the morning of day after tomorrow.”The girl got hysterical, “Oh, Prince Charming you are the best! I will be waiting for you.” A grunt was dragged before the was hung up; Jack charged at him, “You are crazy, what were you thinking when you made that promise?”Ryan’s face turned cold as he looked up, “Do I need to ask you before doing anything?” Jack immediately quietened down, he was a chameleon of a man- capable of switching his temperament within the blink of an eye. “I didn’t mean that...” Jack backed off as he can never go against this devious man and continued,
The girl carefully tip toed on her feet lest she disturbed someone, the house was pitch black as if it has been abandoned for a very long time. All the maids had long drifted into slumber and it seemed that even the guards who were patrolling out got tired and were sleeping too. Ryan's room was on the same floor as her's and thus it didn't take too long for her to go there. The girl stood in front of the door and didn't put lot of efforts in thinking as she carefully twisted open the door and entered in. She switched on the light and scanned the lifeless room with her eyes, last time when she cane her whole focus was on the owner of this room that she failed to study this room in detail.His study was totally different than Little Bee's, the walls were plain with shades of white and metallic grey, there were modern abstract paintings with dull colour and pots of cactus and Venus fly traps were kept arranged on the shelves. Right beside his chair was a gigantic b
Bee stabilized herself on the chair and looked at the rack which were now easily reachable to her; many photo frames of different size and shape were arranged on the first to racks... All of the same person.She knew deep down that she wasn’t supposed to be doing it but humans were born with a heart full of eagerness. Bee tried to suppress all the bitterness welling up inside her heart and picked up a frame in means to take a better look. Her eyes went widen in shock as they met with the image of one of the loveliest creature she had ever seen in her whole life.The girl looked like a young girl around 10 or 11; even though her tone was not as fair as hers but olive in nature she still looked angelic. Her eyes were almond shaped with thick dark and beautifully cured eyebrows right above them, a pair of long and curled eyebrows protected those delicate black eyes. She was blessed with a little Roman nose and her bow shaped lips in a sweet peach colou
To my dearest readers,Since I am in college and is living in a hostel it is getting really difficult for me to write. There is no proper electricity, no laptop or computer to write or proper internet to upload the chapter (even now I am uploading it using paid internet who's hourly rate is no less than any gold.)Since I don't want to hang the readers I am going to summarize the rest of the novel in this one chapter. If I am able to in future I will write the expanded form. Please forgive me for this, I… really am helpless right now.________________________________Previous-Ryan and Catherine go on a date and after a day of hustle he takes her to her father's office where they first met. He, to surpris
Standing on the first floor by the stairs was her small frail figure dressed in knee length denim skirt and a white off shoulder top. She completed her look with white sneakers and a French hat sitting above her beautiful wavey hairs. She chose pearl earrings and a simple necklace to compliment her beauty!She wasn't white like him but rather had an olive tone; in that outfit she looked young and chaste- like a flower yet to be seen or touched by mankind. She never dresses up like this, maybe she put efforts on her look keeping in mind that they were going on an official date. Ryan's heart skipped a few beats when she tucked her locks behind her ears and smiled at him shyly.She walked down the stairs and stood in front of him; Ryan, though never lost his cool, was getting his hands soaked in swear as she inches closer. He stood up and observed her charm, how can someone not fall in love with her- she was literally an angel in disguise. "Happy Valentine's day, gorgeous
Ryan kept mum for a while; his temper which was already in tempest hit its limit when she wasn't getting his actions and wasn't reacting in the way he wanted her to act. Afraid that he would embarrass himself more he decided t give up on it for now. "Nevermind!" He spat and turned away without even waiting for her to react."I- Ok." Catherine, who was well aware of how his mood worked, decided to let it go. He had never yelled out at her, not in the past long years was once when he talked to her with the slightest irritation in his tone but she had seen how scary he could get when he was not in the right mind.The two were about to reach school, while she was playing with the bouquet he gave her Ryan was deep in thoughts. Everything he heard from Jack, the times when he warned her admirers to stay away and random compliments he heard about her were echoing as a cacophony in his ears.When the car finally stopped he stepped out of the car absent-minded; he looked
Jack adjusted his position and turned towards his friend to explain, "Ryan, the whole school knows you like her but does she know about it?" Ryan fell silent processing his words while the latter continued, "This all flirting and asking out is happening because no matter who likes her she is still single at the end of the day!""She isn't your woman, she is your crush! None of this will stop, no amount of beating will hold people back from eyeing her because... She isn't officially dating anyone. You get that?"Ryan processed his thoughts and nodded, Jack's words made sense to him but he didn't know what he was implying. He asked, "So... What should I do?"Jack's eyes curled up as he said, "You need to make her yours officially!""Official?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, "She is still a kid, this is not the right time." Ryan turned down Jack's idea. She was only 12 and in his opinion not prepared for dating and commitments. He wanted to wait till she was 18 and
Time flew past and the two weren't kids anymore, one was seventeen while the other was twelve already. Many things changed, the way they looked and the way they were addressed in society but what didn't change was the way they treated each other.Six years later in the same school premises, a guy went crashing against the wall while his classmate stood dumbstruck, too afraid to do or say anything. The boy who was sent crashing went numb with pain as he shot a fearful glance at the one who did this to him... Ryan, in the school uniform but without his jacket stood there correcting a black band in his hands. Even though his face was calm and collected one could easily see the anger dancing on his face, he grabbed the latter's collar and pulled him up in the air. With his handsome face just a few inches away from his Ryan spoke out, "You must have some guts to flirt with the woman I love."The students who were witnessing the fight heard what Ryan just said and started to
Since the time Catherine was taken to her class and Ryan to his own the boy kept on wondering if she was doing ok there. He was so worried that he couldn't even concentrate in class, if not for his homeschool lessons which were too advanced the the one he was learning in class he could have been punished for not answering the questions the teacher threw at him.When a short break was given to them Ryan dashed across the corridors to her class to make sure she was okay. When he entered in he found he missing from her seat, he looked tensed at Jack and asked where she was. The two boys went inside the class to find Catherine standing at a corner hugging a single notebook."Ryan!" Her saddened face brightened up as soon as she saw those two similar faces. She ran and hugged his legs. Ryan knealt down to match her height and asked, "What is it, why are you here alone? And where are your stuffs."Her grip on the book tightened as she confessed slowly, "They took away
Around fifteen minutes later, the door of the principal's chamber flew open. Ryan stood up from his seat seeing Catherine walk out happily, "Ryan, I got accepted." The boy chuckled, "Of course, you did. Who would not take in my little Cathey."Jack looked around and asked the housekeeper, "If it's all done we can go for shopping.""No, I have a little work." Ryan stood upstriaght, he looked down at Catheine and said, "Wait for me, ok?" He entered straight into the principal's chamber leaving behind a confused Jack and housekeeper. The woman asked, "What happened to Young Master?" Jack shrugged and sat back on his seat, no one would know what he was cooking in his mind utill he produced the reuslts.A few minutes later Ryan came out with two pamplets in his hands, he looked at the gang who was waiting for him and said, "Let's go.""What were you doing inside?" Jack inquired and then his eyes fell on the two papers he held in his hand. Pointing at those he
After the account was made he saved his number in her phone and started teaching her. He showed her the interface and explained everything to her. "If you miss me and want to see me all you will have to open the app like this, can you see my name and photo here... Yes, that is. You click on it and tap this video recording button. You see this one... Yes! Click on it and wait for me to answer." Catherine listened to everything he said and nodded that she understood it all but a little unsure Ryan got her drawing book and drew the steps to video call. He gave the tablet to her, even though it was bigger than her hands she still held it firmly. He took out his phone and got up, "I am going out, follow the steps how I taught you and call me." She nodded an okay and watched him leave; after Ryan disappeared she opened the tablet and followed the instructions. The call was successfully placed. Outside at the garden Ryan saw his phone ringing, he looked at t
The next day, Jack came to fetch Ryan with the chauffeur. Seeing that his car has pulled up Ryan looked at the girl who was sleeping beside him. She still had his hands clasped; he smiled before slowly removing his hands from her grasp. He made sure that she was sleeping before locking the door behind him and descending down. It was still early in the morning but the housekeeper was up and welcoming Jack insdie. Seeing that Ryan too had came out she greeted him; Ryan nodded in acknowledgement. When he was asked what the two boys would want to have for the breakfast he replied plainly that he won't stick around for meal and would leave once Catherine woke up. "Hey, buddy." Jack jumped off the car, Ryan asked, "Did you get what you were telling me about last night?" Jack nodded positively before pulling out a gift wrapped box from his seat. He handed it to Ryan and reported, "I did my fair share of re search of in it. Couples who are in lo
