"don't worry, you didn't bother me" he said.

"it's just you have been quiet, so I figured I was the reason." I said with a blush

"oh, don't worry you didn't do anything wrong or say in that matter." he said, "okay, let's go to my room to see the movie." He add after we finished.

"there's no T.V in the living room?" I asked softly because I thought that if I make my voice any louder he will see how much nervous I am.

"oh, sorry, but there is no TV in it, if you didn't realized yet but the house is pointless, there is no one other than me in it and I don't use except my bedroom, the kitchen and the attic." He said

"don't you invited your parents or your siblings, they don't visit?" I asked

He opened his bed room door and let me in, he go to put a movie in and I settle on the bed, his room is pretty much normal, king size bed with a small wake in closet and a dresser.

"no I don't invited them here because I don't have the time, you should know that, and I see them when I go to see my mum every Sunday." He said

"that's lovely." I said with a smile

"what is it?" he asked

"that you go to see your mum every week." I said, "I should do that, every Saturday, go to see my parents and I will tell my siblings to meet me there, that way I got to see her and dad, see my sisters and brothers and she will be off my back for not visiting more often." I add

"yes, it's definitely work for me, but why you don't go home more?" he said

"well sometime I fell that I want alone time, other time I have plan already with my friend so.... Yeah." I said.

"yeah, that happened a lot to me." He said

"oh, I know, your house says it all" I said

"how so?" he asked

"well your house painted a light grey, with white detailing and a slate shingled roof. There a neat waist-high hedge bordering one side of the walk to the front door, and garden beds on either side of the front steps, full of bright yellow and white crocus. The large windows had peaceful forest views, and with the way your property is tucked away at the end of the street, you only had one neighbor on one side, hidden from view by a neatly planted row of spruce. Everything about the home spoke of a man who took the time to enjoy carving out a space for himself in the world." I told him with a smile, I was looking around me, at the house, while talking and after I finished I look back at him to see him setting on a chair near the dresser, and looking at me with awe, I blush so hard under his gaze, "what?" I said softly.

"you really into architecture and design." He says

"yes, I really like it, it's like fashion design, but one design cloth and another design buildings." I said.

"how come you didn't study Architectural Engineering?" he asked

"in the beginning i study Architectural Engineering." I said, "but after the first year i just don't feel like it anymore, I want to design the inside of the building not the building it's self. So i begin to see other options until one of my friend tell me to go into business major becuase i have always dream in haveing my owne company, and it work, i love it there."

"what is the business that you are planning to open?" he asked

"i want to be an interior designer " I said proudly

"that's really good, when you open your company I'm sure you will make it work and successful." He said with a smile.

"thank you, it's mean a lot." I said, with a huge smile on my face, and then add softly "thank you for saying when not if." .

He just smile to me and ask "so, what do you want to watch?".

"an action movie would be great." I said

"an action" he said while looking at me then add with amusement "you are one hell of a woman, you are something special." . he was going to go see a movie but I stop him and come to stand in front of him and made him set.

"I just going to see if your temperature go down." I said and put my hand at his forehead, he was warm but not like before, then I put my hand at his cheeks, then his neck and finally at his shoulders, all the time I was moving my hand he was looking at my eyes and ask me in the middle what I'm doing?

"My mum always put her on our forehead then checks then neck then shoulder, to see if our temperature is going down really. And when I asked her why she do that for? she said because her hand sometime is warmer or colder than our forehead so she put it at our cheeks and neck to see if the temperature is the same or not. So that what I do." I answer.

I was looking in his eyes and like I enter in a trance, I began to look at his face closely to memorize it, his hair is messy, his face are paler and there is bags under his eyes, in that moment it's like I did not had any control over my body, I touch his cheeks and under his eyes with my thumb gently, "you look tired, you should go to bed, you should rest." I told him while looking in his eyes quietly, softly.

But what he did next surprise me, he put his arms around my waist and pull me between his legs, then he put his head on my stomach and sigh. I stood there frozen for a seceonds but after the shock go away I put my hands in his hair and began playing with the end of it, with a small smile on my face.

After a few minutes he pull away gently with a tired sigh and say "I'm sorry, I didn't know why I did that."

I pull away completely and with a sad smile said "it's okay, you just want a hug." Then add in a more lighted voice said "it's late I should go home."

"what?" he asked

"I'm going home, you see, I have a boss that don't like me being late to work, so I have to sleep to rise and shine tomorrow." I said while giggling.

"well your boss is right" he said with a teasing smile "but I don't like you going in this hour of the night, it's not safe." He add seriously.

"it's not like I ---" I was cut short by my phone ringing.

I take the phone and look at the id, 'my mum' , I look at my watch to see it 9:30 pm., oh no, no no no no, if she's calling at this hour it's mean that she had another dream, god I hope not, I was brought out of my thought by Arrow asking if I was alright?.

"yes I'm alright, It's my mum I should go." I said

"is there something wrong." He asked worried

"no don't worry." I said with a smile. Then after a minute and my phone still ringing I said "I'm going to take this, she's not going to stop unless I answer."

"hello?" I asked unsure.

"oh thank god you answer your call, I was going to have a heart attack." My mum said

"mum It's okay I'm fine, is there something wrong?" I asked although I know why she called

"em.... I just ...... em ........ I want to....you Know ....." she began but I cut here be saying "muuuuuum"

"okay okay, where are you." She asked

"mum please no" I said pleading

"please baby girl"

"mum I can't I'm at my boss house." I said

"please stay there, I will talk to him if you like but stay there." She say and I think she's going to cry.

"mum I can't please" I said whining

"ROSELLA SMITH TAYLOR" I take the phone away from my ear, I don't want to be deaf, " YOU WILL STAY WHERE THE HELL YOU ARE OR GOD HELP ME." She said more like yelling at me.

Then add in more calming voice "you know what happened the last time I had a nightmare and your brother didn't lesson." She's using the guilty card.

"okay mum, I will, good night." I said

"oh thank you baby girl, I love you." She said

"love you too." I said then hung up, after some deep breaths and trying to know what should I say to Arrow now.

"what's wrong" asked me Arrow from behind me.

I turn around and once again I wasn't prepare to him be so close, I close my eyes and take a deep breath which make me take a huge amount of his scent, mmmm not bad, not bad at all, then open them to see him looking at me with a blank expiration, "is there something wrong?" I asked

"no, but I'm the one who should ask you that" he said

"em..... you see my mum every now and then she has a nightmare, about one of us, her children, die in the street, and every time she asked us to stay where we are until the morning." I said then look at him then add, "at first it was easy to lesson to her and stay where we are but then It became difficult , so one day my brother didn't lesson to her and go out with his mates, but he had a car accident which he survive from it, and stay in the hospital for two months. and that made my mum believe in it more and of course more afraid."

"so...." He said

"she has it tonight and she want me to stay where I am." I said it quietly, embarrassing.

"mmmm" he said with a smirk

"why are you smirking?" I asked

"so you will be sleeping here after all."

"yes, I guess" I say while blushing like crazy

"okay, so movie then sleep, because it's too early to sleep, what you think?" he asked

"okay, what movie?" I said

"go pick one I'm going to take my medicine." He said

"oh okay" I said then go to pick one, after a while I pick RED 1+2 for Bruce Willis, I put it in the DVD then go to set on the bed, after a minute I become uncomfortable from my dress, as I was getting out of bed Arrow come in with popcorn.

"em ...... do you have any women clothe I can borrow ." I asked

"I don't know, let me see if my sister left any." He said

I try to hide my smile and how happy I am when he said my sister and not the women he bring them her.

"there isn't any so...." He said

"can I borrow your t-shirt and boxers?" I asked shyly, he just nod.

I take his t-shirt and boxers and go to the bathroom to change. In the bathroom I take my dress off and put his t-shirt on, the t-shirt stood mid-thigh and with my boy shorts pantie I didn't need his boxer so I leave it. when I came out of the bathroom he was already in the bed, so I close the bathroom door and go to the bed, climb on it then get under the covers and rest my back on the bedpost, all the time Arrow did not take his eyes off me, and that is why a blush rose it up my neck and cheeks.

"you can play it now" I say quietly with a blush

"oh yeah" he said then press play.

Half the film away I look at Arrow to ask him something only to see him already asleep, he look so peaceful in his sleep, I fell like a creep watching him like that, but I can't help it.

I let my fingers run in his hair playing with it, he move a bit then sigh, while I'm looking at him my thoughts become words and it leave my mouth in its own to say to him what I have been feeling since the start.

"you don't know how much I was worrid about you, I hate seeing you like that, you don't know how many time I take my phone to call you, but I cancel because you would asked me why I call and I won't have an answer, because I'm nothing to you." Silence tears begin to fall on my cheeks,

"god it's hurt more saying it, when are you going to see how I feel for you, I don't want to be away from you, I don't want to wait any more, I don't want my heart to break any more, I don't think it can take any more." I stay quiet for a few minute just playing with his hair and looking at him.

then add, "please don't make me say good bay to you, I don't want to, I wanna be yours." His breathing changed, I stay frozen in place afraid to move, he then move so he is sleeping on his stomach now, he sigh in connect with his pillow and my hand that still on his cheek, after his breathing return even I sigh with relive, I take my hand slowly away, say " good night baby, I love you." Then kiss his cheek and get up from the bed, before I close the door I take one last look at him then close it with a small sad smile on my face.
