Give 'Us' A Chance

CHAPTER 15

"I don't know, I just want to." He murmured, Ben hummed in response. 

"You know what don't go too far, because what if after knowing her you don't feel the same, what if she never opens up about her to you at all." Ethan wanted to object but he was right. "So, don't go very personal, gain her trust professionally, and then we will see what happens next. Right?" 

Ethan sighed; he needed too much patience for this which he is clearly lacking right now but nodded in response.

Monday, a new day a new journey. Scarlett like any other day woke up early, went to the gym, got ready and is now heading towards her office. Last night was not easy for her because of her nightmares but obviously no one cares, and it doesn't stop the life, so she just ignored her discomfort and was walking with perfect confident. 

Her personal assistant wished her, and she almost noticed that he was a bit nervous. Note the word- 'almost'.

She opened her door and stepped inside closing the door behind her. She walked towards her desk and sat comfortably but the moment she was about to open her laptop she noticed something was occupying her desk. 

A bouquet.

 Bouquet with yellow flowers. She grabbed the flowers and Scarlett being Scarlett threw them in the trash. She didn't even care to notice who sent those flowers? What were they doing here? Because all she knew it wasn't new for her, people used to send her flower every other day and like every other day she would throw them in the trash. 

Few more seconds passed she was working on her laptop and was wondering what was taking so long for Mr. Thomas to get her, her the morning coffee. But as she was wondering, there came a knock on the door, she allowed him to come inside. And there he was unusually nervous, brought her the coffee. She noticed that his eyes directly went towards the place where the flowers were kept and then to the trash. Something flashed in his eyes, but that was the thing which Scarlett couldn't or should I say didn't want to notice. 

She averted her eyes to her laptop and gave some instructions to him and he told her about her today's schedule. Whole day went, nothing special happened. Scarlett was as usual bossy, but Ethan was in a sulking mood. 

Tuesday, another day but same story. She again threw those flowers didn't even care to ask her personal assistant about who sent them. Something again flashed in his eyes while seeing those flowers in the trash. Why so?

Another day passed and another day passed, and then the whole two week passed. When another Monday came, Scarlett saw those flowers again, she knew that people send her flowers but for the first time someone has dared to occupy her desk every morning. Every morning, she is throwing them but again they are coming in front of her eyes. She wondered who this person was but didn't care to ask. But despite everything, what she noticed was the dedication of Mr. Thomas. 

For the whole two week, there was too much work. She had to do overtime for entire two week, Mr. Thomas also had to do a lot of work throughout those two weeks too. He also did the overtime which meant that they would always leave together. Whenever it was 7pm, either Scarlett or Mr. Thomas would inform one other about time to go home and they would leave in their respective cars. 

Some nights they would work in the same cabin helping each other. No extra words only 'yes', 'ok', 'thank you', 'welcome', 'good night', and that's it. And somehow that was enough for both of them. There was no awkwardness, no comfortless, everything was............perfect. 

Which really surprised Scarlett and to her delight in her entire two week there were no nightmares. She was somewhat happy. She was slightly stable again and didn't even went to the therapist yet. She decided that this weekend she will go to her grandparents and will make sure that Lily stays with her.

It was Friday evening; vendors were on their way to sell whatever they have; sky above was orange and 'beautiful' would be an underrated word, kids were running and playing and were laughing as if there was no tomorrow, there was this small book shop where every other second someone was exiting or entering making the wind chime sing, then there was this old woman sitting inside her flower shop smiling contently at everyone who was passing from there and watering the flowers time to time.

And then there was this door in front of Scarlett, she was standing there for almost 15 minutes looking at the door, observing everything around her. She was observing that how nothing changed where she was born and grew up except her. The door was same, the house was same, the people were same, everything around her was same but not her. She was nervous to go inside, she was afraid if she went inside and saw Lily everything in her past will come crashing to her. 

She took a deep breath and pressed the bell, "coming!!" Scarlett couldn't stop but naturally a toothy smile appeared on her face. She knew it was her granny. "No!! I will open the door." 

Her smile faltered a little because it was so long, she heard that voice in real. It was Lily. She could hear little footsteps, one step, another step and her heartbeat were increasing with every step. Then those little footsteps started to run, and her heartbeat were beating so fast as if it were having a race with those footsteps. Footsteps stops near the door and her heartbeat stopped too. The doorknob clicked and her heartbeat skipped. Very slowly, I meant very slowly the door opened with a groaning sound, but her heart was now working inversely proportional. She would faint anytime soon. The door completely opened, she stopped breathing and looked down towards the wide-eyed beautiful girl ever who whispered.

"Mom"

Hey friends!!!! how are you all?

Well, here in India it's damn to cold I was barely able to type properly. So, if you find any mistake feel free to comment respectfully!!

You know this is my first time writing a story and this was my first time writing a chapter in author's POV. I was reading another book in 抖阴社区, and the author wrote so well in Author POV, so I decided to try as well. 

I hope it wasn't confusing to understand. Do tell me if it was, I will know where to improve myself. But other than that, I enjoyed writing this chapter, hehehehehe.

Tell me whose POV you liked the most (Scarlett's, Ethan's or Author's).

Please don't forget to vote and share.
