JUNE

Aaah I hate this man, I bang the wall near, walk and out of the room.

Soon I reach Mia's store, "Hello can I see Mia?" I ask the receptionist who was aweing me just like other customers well I know this dress is pretty but I am feeling uneasy with all these stares, She looks over and replied when she spotted Mia she called her to inform her that I am waiting, Mia look over from the second floor and yell "Oooh Babe come up here I am dealing with a customer now come to join me." But as I was about to walk forwards I stopped and suddenly electricity ran down my spine when I noticed the customer behind her. Whose eyes were fixed on me while Mia was explaining something he just nods in return.

What is he doing here? In New York? I stood there for a minute or two before walking, when I reached the second floor Mia hugged me, and the person who was behind her walked toward us while grinning

"Hello! I am Kevin" what is he doing? Am I the only one who is stuck with the past?

"Let me go, dear"

"I can't" I still pull the ropes "I…I can't"

"He will leave further trust me I will be fine"

"But it's so deep what if…" I was in my deep thoughts before Mia hit my shoulder lightly "Babe what's wrong?" I shook my head "It's… its nothing…. Hell….Hello," I hugged him so tightly my tears came down automatically.

"I thought you have forgotten me already," He laughed and hugs me back tightly in return, "How can I" I sob hardly while hugging him we stayed there like that for at least ten minutes, He pulls away when someone called my name from behind, I saw Mia in confusion staring at us. He came close to me and he rubs the trail of the tears from my cheeks but the tears kept coming so he gave me his handkerchief. "Don't cry it doesn't suit you" he hug me softly and let me go when his phone rang, he excused himself.

"Wow… Wow, what is this our cold-hearted girl finally cried, what's the deal? How you know that man?" Mia kept throwing her questions at me one after one I clear my throat "Ahem, it's a long story." She got pissed when I kept quiet after saying that I know how she is into gossip but I am so tired, to explain anything I am so exhausted from the event that happened a few days ago, my kidnapping, Mr. Watson being nice suddenly, knife stabbing, staying with Mr. Watson, him being so close…

"June"

"JUNE"

"Yes" I snap out of my thoughts when Kevin called my name, "Are you okay?" he asks in a worried tone, I nodded in return "let's catch up now that you are here." I said before he could say anything "Aah I am free for half n hour, I have a meeting after that," he said with hope in his voice, I l check my watch and it showed I have time before heading to the work, "So wanna catch up now?" I said with a smile. He quickly grab my hand in excitement and said let's go my treat I will buy your fav Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino- I cut him by saying "Aah I don't drink that anymore" he gave me a surprising look in return "But you use to love it right?" why of all thing he remembers that I use to like it in past but not now. "It's in past" but before I can say anything Mia spoke "she hates sweet stuff" he look at Mia in confusion than me to which I nodded "I use to love it but I can't stand so much sweet now" his happy face dropped "ooh than we will drink something else", he said and pulled his phone from his pocket and called his driver "Come to the front door I am done here."

"Hey, I need to change I can't go wearing this right" I look at Mia "can you give me some office ware" but as I was asking Mia Kevin check me out and said, "Why what's the problem you look stunning in the dress." I know he saw me after five years that is why he's saying that but I can't, I can't go to the office like this. "here" Mia gave me the suit and distract Kevin before he could say anything, I walked into the changing room and after five minutes I return in all professional look, I check myself out before leaving the room, yup this is right even though I miss the comforts from Mr. Watson's t-shirt but I can't wear it in office and I can't steal it right.

"Let's go already, I have so much to say" Kevin pulls my hand when I walked out. "Wait I haven't paid yet," I said in protest "Oh don't worry about that I already did it" he winks at Mia, and in return, she nods.

"But Why?"

"Because I wanna simple"

"But you can't do that"

"Trust me I can"

"I owe you"

"You don't, now I owe you"

Oh, come on I have to repay him soon, or else it will be uncomfortable.

He opens the door and shove me in, I did not react, and I sat quietly. He looks so happy.

Soon we reach the café that was near my office and he said he has a meeting near here. We sat down, he gave the order, and after a few minutes, he looks at me peacefully while cuffing his chin on his hands.

Even in past he was the talkative one more than me I was also but mostly I prefer listening to his complaints.

"You have changed a lot" He spoke finally breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I guess you too" I gesture to his body and that made him shy a little, "Well thanks" I don't want to bring up the past that I buried inside me, all the struggles I had to bury all the memories.

"Let me go, dear"

"I can't" I still pull the ropes "I…I can't"

"He will leave further trust me I will be fine"

"But it's so deep what if you fell in and… and"

Stop don't open the door he is fine, he is alive, and he is in front of me, "hey are you really fine?" he asks in a worried voice and it was clear he is worried by the look on his face. He rubs my cheeks that's when I realized I am crying. He kept rubbing my tears not letting me rub them myself "I am fine, look I am even sitting in front of you" He said with a wide smile, "yes, you are fine, I am so happy seeing you after all these years."

He rub the tears away on my cheeks again and said, "Okay no more crying", his face looks so soft for that bulky body, somehow I feel at home it's been so long that I have let my guard down so I smile freely. "Thanks for being alive."
