ON THE RUN

"Enough guys. You will squash her" Amy spoke and Zara pulled off and rushed to embrace Amy. "I am a hugger, get used to it miss universe"

"Miss universe?" I asked waiting for Prem to answer since his fiance was busy. "Zara thought Amy was a famous model and thus...came the name. I missed you, Tally" I saw the fear in his eyes.

"I missed you more. I know it's my fault that you were kidnapped by..."

"Don't. No one knew that Jack could do that. We're it not for your husband, we would have been dead,"

A smile spread across my face. "Husband? Dont tell me I got married in my dreams or is it one of Prara pranks?"

He laughed. "You can ask Amy about that. Zara is gonna love the name Prara. I didn't get time to bring flowers or anything but I will make it up to you later when we celebrate your birthday"

Birthday? I had almost forgotten about that.

"What is the date today?"

"24th of October. Two days after your birthday but who cares? We will still celebrate you!"

I ruffled his dark hair. "If you say so. I am happy you are here, the hairstyle suits you"

"It's sticky because of after sex sweat and..."

I coughed twice. "Ewww. I don't want to know"

Prem filled me in on the incident and how Sean came to their rescue. All that happened when I was in a comma and I felt like I was missing out on a lot of things already. I tried to ask about Jack but none of them said anything. Instead, they would change the topic. This was getting on my nerves.

Everyone seemed happy and busy conversing while I was deep in thoughts wondering how they were able to get me in Paris, who was behind my shooting and why Sean hadn't shown up. "Tally, you can't believe what those two are planning.." Prem approached.

  I rolled my eyes. "I can only imagine. Harry met potter"

"Is that even a thing? Anyway, there's something you should know. I heard Samantha and Jack arguing the other day and it seems to me that those two have been working together."

"I wouldn't be surprised anymore. I am just tired of everything. If you don't  mind, can I rest a bit?"

Soon the murmurs faded and silence took over. I was in Paris, another city on my bucket list but I couldn't do much since I was confined in bed under observation. Maybe when I get discharged I will convince Amy to take me around. Footsteps approached and Sean rushed in. He was dressed in a black leather outfit except for the brown suede boots. He looked like he hadn't slept in days. Was he worried about me?' I helped myself in a sitting position and seconds later he reached to embrace me while touching the tips of my hair. We stayed in silence for a few more minutes and he pulled away then placed a soft kiss on my forehead. Soon our eyes met boring deeply into one another as if seeing through each other's soul and his deep and husky voice spoke. "I couldn't make it earlier. I had to sort some things first, pardon me"

I drew a long quivering sigh. "Thank you, for being here. I thought you forgot about me"

  "I wouldn't dare even if I wanted to. You are all that matters, Lia" My cheeks flushed and I bit my inner cheeks to avoid the embarrassment. "Thank you, for saving my friends..."
