Mia

Letting my mind go through the memory lane of how it all started with Alex, was making me feel really uncomfortable. Because after everything, he had brought a dress for me, carried me on his bike, too me out on a date, kissed me in the rain, made me feel special, and stayed with me till the next morning. Because I had a bad dream.

I was so happy, that I was inlove him, and he too had feelings for me. I couldn't have wished for more. Because Alex was everything any woman would want in a man. He was handsome, caring in his own way. And would go out of his way to protect the ones that mattered to him. To the extent of risking his own life. That was what even pulled me closer to him. Because he had made himself my saviour since day one. Took me in to live with him, when Tunde Ibrahim sent his man to come end my life.

    MiaDejá vu was the word that popped in my head when my eyes lazily fluttered open, just in time to catch a pair of honey brown eyes, accompanied with long lashes, watching me cautiously with sadness and concern.It was no other person than Alex. And that marked the third time something like that occurred.First was at the hospital, after the bullet was operated. I had woken up and caught him looking at me, with his face devoid of emotions. We weren't acquainted with each other at that time, so I was pissed on that day.Second was when Tunde Ibrahim's men had come to abduct me and in the process, drugged me that I lost conciousness. I didn't know how he had sensed that something terrible was ongoing, but when I woke up hours later, his eyes were the first thing mine registered and I was at the hospital.And now, I woke up to his eyes after I had lost conciousness due to starving my self off food and personal hygiene.

    Chapter fourthyMiaWhen I flicked my eyes opened hours later, I didn't see Alex. It was already morning and it felt like all that just happened was a dream. Like Alex appeared in my dream. But I was fully aware that it wasn't. Alex really came. He was informed about my condition and came back to Gavelston to check up on me at the hospital. Abandoning what ever he was occupied with, in Nigeria.Something which added a stamp to the fact that, I was still quite important to him. That he didn't completely hate me, despite everything I had put him through.I sat up right, and saw that I was still on drip. A much bigger one this time.

From saving me on several occasions, to loosing his security guard, and almost getting killed in the process of trying to save me.Right at that moment, the door was being jerked open, and Alex made his way in.
