Brielle's POV

*kriiing kriiing

I answered my phone as I went out of the restaurant.

"Hey"

It was Theodore.

"Hi" I replied.

"Are you busy?"

"No, of course not" I said

"Really?"

"Yeah. I actually just finished having a dinner meeting with a lady director" I told him.

"Is that so? Where are you now? I'll come and pick you up"

"No, it's okay. I can take a taxi home" I said

"Please?"

I contemplated on it.

Of course I'd want him to pick me up and to see him but I was being cautious and I didn't want to get him into trouble.

"Uhm...okay fine. I'll send you my location" I finally gave in

"Okay I'll be there right away"

"Okay see you" I said with a smile.

"See you"

We ended the call and I stood outside to wait for Theo to come. I ignored the looks I was receiving from some passersby.

Then just on cue, a car stopped in front of me and a familiar figure quickly got off.

It was no other than Theodore himself.

The next thing I know he was standing in front of me while wearing his cap and mas

    Theodore's POV"AHH!" Brielle and I turned to look at who shouted and our eyes immediately widened. We watched as a child slipped off the bridge and into the water. I was in complete shock as I witnessed it happen. "Harry!" we heard the another kid shout and people started to gather. I was even more shocked when Brielle started removing her mask, heels and then she took off my coat. I just watched her do it not knowing what was going to happen next. My eyes widened as she climbed on the bridge's wall and prepared to jump. I snapped back into reality. I tried to stop her. "Call 911" she said sternly and pulled her hand back from me then without another word, she dived into the water without hesitation. I watched her as she got in the water. I gulped and desperately tried to look for her in the water but couldn't see her.Someone grabbed me by the shoulder and I turned to look at who it was."What's happening? Where's Brielle?" It was Brian and Tim. They were wearing masks too b

    Brielle's POVI slowly opened my eyes and my eyes wandered the room without moving. I gulped when I realized where I was sleeping on. Or rather who I'm sleeping on.I carefully sat up not to wake Theodore up. He was sleeping in a sitting position while I was on him. I stood up and carefully guided his head to lay down. Then I lifted his legs to the sofa so he can lay down comfortably and sleep. Then I put a throw pillow below his head and the blanket that was on me earlier on him. I sat on the floor while looking at him. I pursed my lips and then smiled. "You said you'd go home after I fall asleep" I muttered to him in a low voice. I chuckled. "Thank you" I said and a tear fell from my eye. I smiled and wiped it. I stood up and started preparing for work. Thankfully, I woke up early even without the alarm. I skipped working out because Theodore was in the apartment. I cooked some breakfast for him in case he woke up. I took a shower and Theo was still sleeping when I came out.

    Brielle's POV"We're sorry for causing you so much trouble" the mother apologized to me. I shook my head."Don't think that way, maam. No one wanted this to happen" I told her.I'm currently in the hospital where the child from last night was admitted. I came with Sophie and Damian after work because I wanted to check up on the child. I was also able to meet up with the reporters earlier and answered their questions about the incident. "How is he?" I asked the mother. The child was sleeping when we got there. "Thankfully the doctor said that he was doing a lot better since yesterday. He's stable now. The doctor said he was lucky that you saved him and was able to administer first aid before it was too late" she explained. I nodded. "Thank you so much for saving our son's life. We will be forever grateful to you" she told me and bowed her head low. I bowed too. Then the hospital door opened and her husband peeked out. "He's awake" he told us. We went inside together and I smiled

Brian said that she's already safely going home but she's not inside her apartment when I checked again. Could something have happened to her on the way?I shook away the thought. *kriiing kriiing I looked at who was calling and quickly answered it when I saw that it was Brielle. "Where are you? Are you okay?" I answered the call"I'm fine. Are you waiting inside or outside the apartment?" "I'm outside waiting in my car. Are you on your way? I'll meet---" I said but was cut off when she spoke. "Don't. Just stay in your car" "But---" I was about to complain. "Please" There was a moment of silence. I sighed. "Are you doing this because you don't want to get me in trouble?" I asked. "I am" "Why?" I asked again. "Because I care about you, Theo" "I do too. I care about you too so why can't I come see you?"
