Greta was running fast as the Van was speeding up the road beside her, the sound of lighting suddenly sounded loud and within seconds it was raining heavily in Brisbane, soaking Greta who was still running fast looking for a crowd where she could avoid the Van that following her suddenly she tripped over something and fell the pavement, the Van stopped right next to her.Greta got up on her tired legs. She would face whoever was behind the Van no matter what. She opened her wet bag, took out the pepper spray. But in expecting, the Van just droved away, leaving Greta standing in daze.The Van was just trying to terrorize her? This was absolutely ridiculous! who would have had the time to terrorize her that? she didn't been in Brisbane long, how could she already have enemies?With her tired legs Greta continued on her way, the rain was pouring down harder and lighting continued to stroke. She folded her arms in front of her chest to block the strong worried that felt very cold through
"Um, well, shouldn't you be doing that to make amends!" Greta said curtly, of course, she didn't want to sound as though she was very flattered by Ryan's offer. She opened the door to her apartment and let Ryan in."You know where the kitchen is, right? I'm going to take a shower now," Greta said as she turned to her room. After closing the door, she rushed to the bathroom. She took her clothes one by one while looking in the mirror, she couldn't hide her excitement even after the bad things she had experienced earlier. People who saw her might think she has a serious mental disorder because her mood could change so drastically.Greta took a quick shower, she stood in her closet long enough to choose what to wear. At first, she wanted to wear a slightly sexy outfit but Ryan would notice that she was trying to get his attention. Finally, she close a pair of short with a loose light yellow T-shirt. She kept her face bare without any make up.Stepping out of her room the cooking aroma i
Ryan returned with a bottle of wine in his right hand and a bag of almonds in his left. Greta waved her hand, couldn't wait to drink more."Almonds?" Greta muttered as she snatched the package from Ryan's hand. Ryan nodded, "Yeah, I think you might want to have a snack," he said casually, his hands numbly opening the wine caps and pouring them into their glasses."So you were betrayed too......" Ryan muttered after finished the wine in his glass. Greta's eyes seemed to be half closed. Combination of drowsiness and wine effect."Yeah, everyone in the world knows that......""How does it felt?" Ryan asked, he leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes."It felt your chest was being stabbed by a serrated knife and your bones were being ripped out of your body, I think you know how it felt too......." Greta said in a hoarse voice.Ryan opened his eyes, his eyes stared blankly."Yeah, I guess that's how I felt too but in my case, it was a little different," he took a deep breath befo
The apartment doorbell rang, Greta scrambled to her feet and headed for it half running. She peeked through the small hole in the door and was very disappointed that it wasn't someone she expected before."Just after the delivery man left, she turned to Ryan's room and hoped that Ryan would come out of there and say something like, "Sorry i was in a hurry Soni didn't have time to talk to you or whatever sentence that at least could comfort your heart.But up to five minutes of waiting no one came out of there. Disappointed Greta returned to her room. She out her cell phone and texted Emma who seemed to be online. She might be on her lunch break.'Hi, Em, sorry I bothered you. Is Ryan at the restaurant?''Yes he's here, he's taping a program with Terry and Kate. What happened? Do you want me to call him for you?'"No! sorry, I mean not necessary and please don't tell Ryan that I asked your about him. Thanks, Em,bye!"Greta threw her phone on the sofa in annoyance."So he actually thoug
Consumed by her own feeling, Greta decided to go out of her apartment. She looked around the lobby and felt relieved when she didn't see anyone but the security guard."Good evening miss Specter, looking for taxi?" greeted the security guard politely."No thanks, Mr Baker, I have already ordered an Uber," replied Greta with her friendly intonation that table to make anyone wishing to be her friends.Before long an Uber appeared, Greta waved to Mr Baker and jumped into the car. She has a place to visit. She looked at the window and suddenly felt the emptiness filling her chest. That big question mark kept running in her head, 'Does he love me?' She knew she could just ask Ryan directly about his feeling but she didn't want to repeat the same sad story. When she starts her relationship with Micheal Mayer years ago, she was the one first make a move and their relationship didn't end well. She didn't want that to happen again, she always thought that Micheal might be betrayed her because
"Is that's your Son?" asked Greta in a stiff voice, her eyes staring widely at the picture frame on the corner of the table. Louise smiled, "yeah, he's my loving son, he's very handsome isn't he?" she said proudly.Greta tried hard to smile, "well he's very handsome........" she looked up at Louise's face, she just realized that her face looked very familiar."You look a lot like your son," she said honestly. Louise laughed, "yeah, everyone say that," said her, she looked teary, it seemed like she missed her son so much.Daniel dear! can you help Greta to see the interior of the SUV, she can't wait to take the car!" shouted Louise suddenly. Greta was surprised, she turned towards the door and saw Daniel standing there in shorts and loose sleeveless t-shirt. He looked quite different after showering. She could tell that he was quite handsome."You want to see it now?" asked Daniel scratching his half wet hair."Yeah, sure Louise, may I?" Greta turned to Louise who immediately nodded wi
"The car is ready!" Daniel suddenly appeared with sweat dripping down his forehead, he was surprised he saw house was wiping her tears."Are you crying over that selfish pink?" he snapped with an annoyance face. Greta turned to Daniel with furrowed brows, not understand at all about what he trying to say.Daniel, you can't say that Ryan, he's too angry because I'm too weak," said Louis in a trembling voice."Daniel snorted."You're the one who had to through all this misfortune, why should he be so angry? wasn't his act of ignoring his mother worse than anything!" he shouted angrily."Daniel, that's enough! He never ignores me once a week, he sends complete groceries to fill my fridge! He sends a clear to ease my work! He said a the therapist to relieve my body aches and he sent you to take care of me and thank you Daniel because you are willing to do that for him......." Louis half shouted but at the end of her words she became soft.Daniel waved his hand,"Whatever, Greta the car is
The Next Day,Greta got dressed in a hurry, getting ready to work, since returning from Louis's house, she had not met Ryan at all. Today she was both excited and scared because they would meet at the restaurant. After making sure her appearance was perfect, she stepped quietly out of the apartment. She glanced briefly at Ryan's door, wondering if Ryan had left or not.She walked towards the parking area of thinking about how she would react if she met Ryan later. Could she just act normal after the extraordinary night they had experienced together?She pressed the elevator button which took her to the basement where her car was parked. Just a few seconds later, the elevator doors creaked open. She stepped out and straight away about thirty meters from her someone seemed to be staring at herself.Who is that? she mumbled? as she realized to walk slowly, when she got a little closer she realized that it was Ryan Lewis who stood in front of her car.From five meters away she pressed the
