Chapter 130 – Words Can Be Sweet But Potentially Fatal

Dean enjoyed teasing April, he wished it was a real proposal and when he did it it would be epic, he would make it perfect for her. He kissed her forehead and they lay together on the bed.

April was comfortable in Dean’s arms and she relaxed, not wanting to continue the ridiculous conversation. She wasn’t going to propose, yes she always wanted him but it was still early for both of them in their relationship.

Dean was a forever love for her, she wished that in both lifetimes he was her only love. she rubbed her forehead to clear the thoughts of James that popped up unconsciously.

Dean saw her small movements and knew she was overthinking again so he pulled her in tighter to his chest.

She believed in actions as words can be sweet but potentially fatal to her heart.

The two lovers fell asleep together in one another’s embrace, they felt secure and loved.

Meanwhile, after Zane had hung up his phone with Dean he picked up his coat and threw it on as he marched out of his office. His secretary sat at his desk and looked up from his computer at his boss. His boss would usually sleep after surgery but his boss walked with purpose and so he stopped and asked, “Boss everything okay.”

Zane had forgotten that Aarna would have spoken to his secretary, “When Aarna was here did she say anything to you?”

His secretary only looked lost so Zane ruffled his hair as he thought for a moment before he said, “The girl who left the letter for me.”

The secretary then realised who his boss was talking about, “Oh, yes. I mean no she didn’t say much but I could tell she was near in tears writing the letter. I thought she was a patient in love with you so I didnt let her in your office while you were sleeping or disturb you… Did I do something wrong?”

Zane sighed, “No you didn’t. But if she ever comes back again. Let her into my office and call me asap.”

Zane then rushed to the lift and as he pressed the button he dialled Aarna’s phone number. The phone started calling and then went to voicemail. Zane then got in the lift and hit the button for the underground car park. As he went down in the lift he rang Aarna’s number and hung up three times. As he got out of the lift he walked to his car. He tried her number one last time before he got into his car.

Zane hung up upon hearing her voicemail again, he got into his car and threw the phone down into the passenger seat as he started his engine. As the engine roared to life he quickly spun the steering wheel and drove as quickly as he could to Aarna’s apartment.

Zane had wasted too much time messing around already, he didn’t want her to feel sad or insecure. He fully accepted his faults and knew he was inconsistent. If he wanted a future and he wanted Aarna’s love he couldn’t keep up his old ways.

It was time to step up and hold on to his love, she was a light in the dark for him. He had nothing else in his life except for work. If he kept just working endless hours he knew he wouldn’t actually be living he would just be existing. He didn’t want to just exist in a monotonous dull world.

Zane found hope from her letter, she had said that if he wanted her to reach out. This was his only chance, he wanted and needed to show her his commitment. He would show up.

Zane’s car weaved in the traffic, he flew through any red lights and after fifteen minutes he had reached her apartment complex. He hurriedly got out of his car, he closed the door as he then rushed up the flight of stairs. It was four flights up to Aarna’s apartment, he panted as he reached the last step.

Zane fixed his jacket and loosened his tie as he walked towards Aarna’s door, he ran his fingers through his hair and gathered his breath before knocking on her door. He stood and knocked for a while but he didn’t hear any noises from inside. He walked to her window and glanced inside, it was dark. It wasn’t that late but she would always be home at this time.

Zane decided to wait for her so he sat down outside of her door and he took out his phone again and dialled Aarna’s number. Thinking she may have nipped to the shop he sat and waited for her to return.

Aarna’s phone went to voicemail again and Zane hung up. He waited all through the night leaning against her door. It was cold but he didnt feel it. He watched the moon as it shone brightly before disappearing and the sun coming up.

Before long it was morning, he stood his legs were shaky from sitting in the same position all night long. He then slowly walked down the stairs, he was worried and felt lost so he phoned Aarna again. Nothing.

He then phoned Dean. He heard his sleepy voice so he said, “Dean sorry bud to wake you. But can you ask April where Aarna is please?”

April’s voice came over the phone and she said, “Sorry I can’t say where Aarna is but she is safe.”

Zane was glad she was safe and he understood that April couldn’t say so he simply replied, “Thanks April.”

Zane hung up and got into his car before dialling Aarna one last time. As he heard the voicemail he said “I want nothing in this life but to be with you, to watch you and listen to you, your beautiful voice. Your beauty to argue with you to laugh with you to show you things and share things with you. To explore your magnificent mind to explore your wonderful body. To help you, protect you, serve you. I may be full of myself as I say this but I consider myself the only man who can love you as I can… so please let me show you. One last time, please… Aarna I.” Zane then heard the voicemail end.

Zane leaned his head on the car’s steering wheel collecting himself before he decided to go back to work.. Work could distract him.
