Priceless

  *Daniel’s pov* I tried and tried to find something worthwhile in Rose’s cabin. I didn’t find anything that seemed out of work. I don’t know if I could ever call her Aubrey. She will always be Rose for me. Rose. Delicate, gentle, and strong. I needed to know what secrets she was hiding that was troubling her. I would not think twice before taking all those horrible things away from her at any cost and hiding her safe from the entire world. She deserves calm and peace. She deserves everything. Just as I get searching the last cupboard, the shrill ring of my phone alerts me. My stomach twists when I see it’s Sophie calling. I had this weird feeling nagging at me that I pushed down not so long ago. “Is everything okay?” are the words that drop out of my mouth just as I answer the call. “Dan- Daniel, um,” she takes a breath in before continuing, “um, I think you should come here-” I end the call before she says anything more. This can’t be good. The familiar feeling of p

'Why has everyone decided to ruin every good moment of this day?' was Daniel's thought after declining the second call from Gerald. He had nonchalantly declined the first call and was happy enough to do it again. Joining back to the conversation with Rose about their favourite place in the World, about which he was unsure how it had started they were just talking about their favourite dish and then the conversation just flowed easily, he said agreeing with her, "India is truly a beautiful country! Have you ever travelled there?" She replied with a casual tone shrugging her shoulders that she hadn't but wished to. Soon his phone rang for the third time. His smile dropped with an irritated look on his face. 'Declining calls twice means that someone is not interested in talking to you. Shouldn't he get that by now?' Daniel thought. "I think you should get it this time. Someone is surely eager to talk to you..." joked Rose, which was quite th

She is absolutely gorgeous

The day was an absolutely horrifying one. Daniel was a mess by the end of it. If it hadn't been Rose, he must've had a breakdown in the bathroom. He was never good at handling sorrows, he still isn't. He doesn't believe but he is currently cooking in Rose's kitchen. How he reached there doesn't seem real to him. After the crying and all (he doesn't like to talk about it, nor he ever will, but he is still over the moon that he had Rose to lean on for support) he was about to leave when he heard a slow voice saying his name. He knew who that was without turning, he would know that voice among thousands. The one, to whom the voice belonged, was steadily walking towards him. A little smile formed on his lips as he saw, of course, it was Rose. Her hair was tied up in a weird bun and in her hands, she had a few files as usual. "Hey Daniel, were you heading out?" she said in a very sweet voice. Everything she did was seeming sweet to Daniel, so he was uns

False information

  Rose, the most wonderful woman he had ever met, was there stepping out of her comfort zone to provide him with the emotional support he needed at the moment. The slender hands patting softly on his back to comfort him and the small glances, not of pity but of understanding, were the loudest screams that she lowered her walls for him; that she trusted him. But this wonderful moment was ruined as Amelia came bursting into their office. She was in an angry mood. When she saw Gerald searching for something in Vic’s cabin, she couldn’t help herself so she went in without another thought and confronted him about it. He replied without hesitation, in an almost practised tone, that he was searching for his personal details. His phone had gotten destroyed in the accident and they were supposed to inform his family. Supposedly, he had given false details about his family and his house address was also false. Amelia was confused, more like. She didn’t know what or how to think. She was angr

Lowering walls

Daniel seemed...scared? Or was he angry? She couldn't differentiate for the first time and that irritated her. He burst into her cabin and stood panting for a moment. After a deep breath and courage of mind to put together the words he never, even in his worst nightmares, thought he would have to use, he spoke, "Vic is dead"... Rose didn't move for a minute after hearing it. She just froze. Daniel couldn't comprehend what was going on in her mind. He was trying to act as strong as he could. After a moment, Rose asked in a very flat tone, "How?" Daniel took a deep breath and replied, "Accident." He continued as he sat down on the chair in front of her, "They took him to the hospital but they couldn't save him." A few drops of tears formed in the corner of his eyes but he quickly erased them with his thumb. He had to be strong. "Are you okay?" he asked at a very slow pace. After a moment when she didn't respond, he rep
