Emma's POVZillionth of bubbles were bursting in my belly as he said he will be there for me 24/7 present until dad comes back. Though it was just out of concern and a formality doing, being a second guardian. It's his duty right? To take care of me, look after me, baby sit me when my first guardian aka dad is not present. But it still made my heart delighted and warm. As the mere thought of being with him, to see him around and have his presence was itself overwhelming.How lucky!!!!!!Grinning hard internally and trying my best to not show cast it out I entangled my fingers together and looked down. When dad came and kissed my head making me gaze up at him, I hugged him tight burying my face in his chest while he ruffled my silky long hair. And then I slowly craned my neck to secretly peer at Shawn and catch his glimpse which was neutral and cold like always but still it made me smile ear to ear and have butterflies."This face and man, is all at my service for a few days now... I co
My eyes flung opened as the sun descended in the west making the orange and red mixed hue on the white clouds turn black. Yawning I stretched my arms in the air and straightened my back leaning over the headboard as I rise on my bum. It was a good sleep and now I feel so fresh and energetic again. Sighing softly, I check my phone lying beside me and there were tons of texts from Shane and few from other friends and Dad. I smile sheepishly as I accidentally open Shane's text first and found his sulking cute pictures saying he is missing me while Shawn the villian is keeping us apart. So cute of him and childish!I blush lightly as I read his more texts which leaves a ticklish sensation inside my tummy while I read his concerned filled silly texts where Shawn was mostly mentioned. I'm angry and jealous of Shawn to be with you while not allowing me in *sad pout* he writes in the end of his text and I squint my eyes but then giggle lightly.You act like a cute jealous boyfriend, I repl
Shawn's POV After making Emma sleep while Shane ran away I called Nancy to be by her side while I went downstairs and asked my assistant to shift my office in this house. I mean my important files and stuff to be delivered here and gave her a half day holiday today. While asked to keep a strict eye in the office while I'm not present and give me all updates thoroughly. She nodded and left and I was sighing as I went through my work as I have a meeting at 2 pm and it's very important that my schedule is made free. When done I checked on Emma and found her temperature getting low again which was a relief as Nancy said she has fever again. I walked out of her room after that and went on the lawn to walk and make my stress level calm and mood light. The sky today was also perfect while the atmosphere just suited my mood. I asked the servants to vacate the house with Nancy including being a loner. I just hate having so many people around me and George has staffed many for his one and on
Shawn takes Emma in her room and making her lay in bed was about to take the couch when she stops him holding his hand. Shawn freezes thinking who held his hand when she was sleeping. He cranes his neck to find Emma's eyes glowing under the moonlight with a unknown wavering emotions lying in her eyes. Feeling confused he raises his eyebrows when she says, "Can you please sleep with me tonight? I-I feel scared", she said with a pain in her voice.From the moment she heard Nancy talking to her daughter showering so much love and endearment in call. And then running to meet her as she was returning from hostel last day, a sudden urge to have such a relationship with her mother also clouded her heart. And that's what she was busy thinking when she fainted and in her dreams she kept crying like that. Shawn didn't questioned her but simply slept beside her sliding under the duvet. He was feeling some foreign sensations rising inside him but pushing it inside he tries to remain calm and stra
Emma's POVLast night I was thinking that I need a doctor but today after seeing him, I'm sure he needs that more than me. Like did you just see how drastically he changed in this whole 24 hours. Like the one who I knew is far...like very far from this Shawn. He is flirting, smiling, being gentle and caring, and adorable and loving. And most importantly a flirt!!!I let it slide down from my head last night but now I'm sure he is actually doing those things purposefully. I mean he just picked me up in his arms, carried me and made me sit on the platform. Like dude he could have just said to me or get me a chair but no he actually did that. Then the way he didn't react to me kissing him mistakenly nor of being clumsy instead he mocked and smiled. He then made me taste that curry and after wiping it from the corner of my lips licked it. He actually did, and I saw that from my own fucking eyes. After that he picked me up to get me down from that, which I could have done all myself but no
Author's POVAfter doing prayers and getting some peace to their souls they left Gurudwara and on their way Shawn got a call for work. He tried to avoid that but hearing it's an emergency and he needs to meet them, he sulked and cut the call.He seems pissed, Emma thinks as she looks at him from the gunshot seat."Umm… are you okay? Who was that?", She asked."I-I have an emergency Em! And I need to leave there. I'm sorry!", he apologises with sad eyes and her heart clenched."It's okay… I'll go home alone. Have a good day", she said, understanding his situation.Emma was sure that it's really important or else he wouldn't have left her like that. She was about to open the door when he stopped her by locking the door. "You are coming with me. I can't leave you alone", he announces."But what will I do there? It's your work, do it and come back home. Don't act stubborn Shawn… I'm fine and I can stay alone", she insisted but he remained silent indicating he made his mind already and she
Author's POV After returning from there Emma was inside her room locking the door. She didn't want to face anyone but herself and stayed like that for hour's, sitting on the bed with her knees pulled close to her chest and head above it. She was holding on to her knees as she cried her lungs out but in a hushed tone. She didn't want Shawn to hear her cry like a kid but he knew already as he sat outside her door on the couch in the lobby of her floor. He didn't know how to coo her and hence silently sat there helplessly when George called him and after a little hesitation he answered it."Hey Shawn. I hope my daughter is not a pain in ass to you. Btw where is she? She is not answering my calls", he says, making Shawn sigh tiredly."Actually George, her phone is with me and maybe it's on silent. So, I didn't hear it. Sorry!!", he apologised in a low voice."What happened? Is everything okay? I mean her phone is with you and you are sounding low as well", he asks with concern and he sig
Shawn gave off for the day to all servants and locking every door and window he went upstairs with her favourite foods, gifts, ice-creams and a hot water bag kept in a trolley. While Emma was sitting in Indian style folding her legs with her head leaned in the headboard. She was silently watching the moon glow up the brightest while the stars tugged in the sheets of sky dangled. A serene smile spread on her lips as she hugged herself from inside the duvet when Shawn knocked at the door softly and grabbed her attention. Turning her head she was surprised to find him doing so much effort for her and was overwhelmed with everything. When Emma's eyes catch attention on a particular thing making her tear up in tears. Crawling she quickly grabbed it in her hands blurring other things and hugged it to her chest looking in awe. It looked almost like a replica of her pet dog she had and that made a sad smile adorn her lips. She misses that cute pet she had and gazes up at Shawn who had the s
