Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“You sound like Hartwell when it comes to me choosing a boyfriend. Strict and demanding.” There was sarcasm in her tone.

The smile on Wesley’s face faded.

“You think it shouldn’t concern me?”

“It hardly seems to matter what I think. Tell me, will you butt out if I say so?”

Blair snorted

“No! I’m a man of my word,” he said immediately in a stern and authoritative voice. He had already told her that he was responsible for her until she found a reliable boyfriend. Till that time, he would take care of her.

Blair suddenly became upset. Her mood had been changing all night, swinging like a pendulum. Happiness, thrill, excitement, gratitude, gloom, annoyance, anger. She had experienced it all in the span of one night.

She tried to change the subject.

“So, what do you plan to do tomorrow?”

“What’s your plan?” he asked, instead of answering her question.

“I’m out of job now. At first, I planned to sleep for two days before I begin my quest for a new job. But now that you have some days off, I want to have some fun with you.” She Liked him. She didn’t want to conceal her feelings for him.

“Any particular place where you want to go?”

“I’m thinking about Happy Valley. Actually, I want to ride a roller coaster, but I’m too afraid to do it on my own. I feel that if you’re with me, I might be able to do it.” Blair always felt that as long as Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Wesley was by her side, she could do anything. All the fears and inhibitions would go away when he was with her.

‘What? Aren’t amusement parks like Happy Valley for children? Will I have to do these childish things with her?’ he thought with a frown on his face.

Noticing his silence and frowning face, Blair reasoned out, “If you don’t want to go with me, it’s fine. I’m not so eager to go anyway. Do whatever you want. I’ll just stay at home, sleeping in the daytime and looking for a job at night.” Her voice suddenly turned low and sad.

“Here we go. Another trick of hers.‘ Wesley sighed.

“Okay. I’ll just take Megan to Happy Valley tomorrow then. Enjoy your sleep.”

“Take Megan to Happy Valley?’ Blair thought she heard it wrong. She looked at him in disbelief, too mad to utter a word.

Wesley, though, was stone-faced. There was no trace of sarcasm or teasing. He seemed extremely serious about his plan. Just then, they reached the parking lot.

He got out of the car once it rolled to a halt, and came to her side.

As if not sensing her mood at all, he unbuckled her seat belt and was going to carry her out of the car as usual

“No!” she rebuffed angrily.

“I can jump. You don’t need to be so concerned.”

Wesley stared at her for a few seconds and then asked, “Did I ever say that I don’t want to go with you?”
