Chapter 21: Chapter 21

**Nancy's POV**

"You know my number?" I ask him. How can he dial my number without even a delay? I mean he is so quick and his fingers moved like he knew the number from decades.

"Of course, yes Selena. I got it from Mr. Bradley yesterday and recited it whole day," he says.

"Oh!!" I make a long face. What am I even expecting?

After having breakfast with him, I get back to my room and get ready for the work.

I am doing make up on my room when I see him standing on the door leaning at its side and looking at me with a grin.

"What are you doing over there? Since when we're you standing over there?" I ask him and he walks in wobbly manner and sits on the chair next to me.

"Since, you were in front of mirror?" he says and I smile.

"You need anything?" I ask.

"Nothing, just want to see you. I can live my whole day without you after seeing you whole heartedly," he says.

Gosh!

How can he be so cheesy?

What is wrong with him? I can see my cheeks blushing even in the mirror.

"Can you please not look at me like that? You are making me shy?" I say.

"Good for me," he says. I look at him and ask why?

"I have my effect on you. Its called Xander's effect. It's good to see you have the symptoms of it," he says as he lays in the bed and I stand up to get out of the room to the work.

"I am leaving. Make sure to take care of yourself," I say and am about to walk away when he calls me suddenly.

"Stop! Come here," he calls me in soft voice. The soft voices are almost impossible to hear from him. I feel lucky to hear them.

"Have anything to say," I lean close to him as his eyes are closed and he is playing on bed.

He looks immensely beautiful in there.

He suddenly opens his eyes and our eyes gets locked with each others.

Without a warning he pulls my head on his and kisses me.

Holy crap!

I have to go to work and I really don't want to stop him right now.

His tongue slides inside mouth exploring each and every corners. His lips dances smoothly and sucks mine like they are some strawberries to taste. His lips taste the same like they used to taste in high school. They are still so good.

"You love that," he whispers in between our kiss.

I shyly nod my head as I tuck my hair behind my ears which keeps on falling on his face.

"Get to work safely and take care of yourself My love. I want you to be safe and sound whole day and return back to me when the day ends like the birds do after having their free flights all over the world and return back to their home, to their safe zone at dawn," he says and I shyly nod my head.

"Can I go now?" I ask him.

"If you are informing me then, you are free to go but if you are asking then, how about I keep you with myself all the time? Will you allow it?" he snickers.

I chuckle and kiss him on his forehead.

"In your dreams," I say as I walk away from him.

"I am sending someone to help you," I say and walk down the stairs for the hospital first.

I go to see Kevin. This time, he isn't there. I mean, his dad and mom.

I try to enter inside his room when I don't see anyone in there.

But through the glass of the door, I see Mia sitting beside the Kevin, holding his hands and talking with him, even shedding the tears for him.

I feel bad for not being able to see him but I am glad there is someone who is so much caring like Mia in there.

She will take care of him well.

"You're back again," I hear the voice of his mother.

I steer around and see her treading her steps quickly to me.

"How many times do I need to tell you not to come over here? Don't you get the things at one statement?" she says as she looks at me with so much cruel eyes. Her eyes exhibit only hatred for me.

"But he is my beat friend auntie," I say but she slaps right on my cheeks.

"Don't you dare call him your best friend! My boy loved you all these years but the only thing you could do to him was hurt him. I have seen my son always trying hard for you and you? You never thought about his feelings. You are the most selfish girl I have ever seen in my whole life," she shouts at me.

"And now what are you doing? He is in this state and you are there to take care of your ex boyfriend. How selfish can you be? You want to have fun time with your ex boyfriend and you also want my son to be in your life?" she says harshly.

"No, Auntie. Its not like you have thought. I always loved Kevin but not the way you have imagined. I always loved him as my best friend and that's all," I try to explain her but before I could say anymore she starts to get a mini heart attack and I shout for doctor.

She is taken immediately to the emergency ward.

"I told you not to be back here. Why the hell did you come here? Do I need to repeat myself? If something happens to my wife, I am warning you Nancy you are going to be responsible for it," Kevin's dad warns me and I stand aloof in front of him.

"I am sorry. I am sorry Mr. Smith. I am really sorry," I say with tears on my eyes.

He is right. I should never visit him. I should never come back. It's not good for his family.

"Take good care of her Mr.Smith," I walk out from there without looking them back.

Maybe my journey with Kevin is this much. I never want to leave him on his bad days but I don't want another catastrophe to revolve around his family because of me.

I know its my fault for making myself selfish but it's my heart and when it didn't even listen to me, what am I supposed to do?
