The car drove into the entrance of a beautiful white villa and stopped for them to come down. Ethan finally broke the gaze immediately the car stopped.

Diana raised her head and looked at him as he opened the car door and stepped out. Her eyes traced his silhouette till he arrived outside the door, where she sat and opened it for her.

Ethan looked up, and their gaze locked. He grinned, not acting like her weirdness surprised him, but deep inside; he knew for him to make her open up about what made her this way, he needed to take it slow and not force her.

Diana bit down on her lower lip as she stepped down from the car. Her eyelashes kept fluttering as she tried to hold back her tears. Stepping down; she looks up at the beautiful buildings in front of her and couldn't help but ask, ”whose house is this?”

With one hand pulling her luggage, as the driver has driven the car to the garage. His other hand reached for her right hand and squeeze gently before walking toward the main house, while Diana followed along, her eyes occasionally glancing at their intertwined fingers.

”I purchased it five days ago.” Ethan finally spoke. Diana looked up at his side profile in confusion. She averted her gaze and gulped as Ethan gaze met hers immediately he tilted his head towards her direction.

He's just too beautiful for her to look into his eyes and know that he likes her without her heart racing wildly.

Even though he's all teasing and blunt; his eyes look innocent like he wouldn't be able to curse back at someone who cursed at him.

Ethan brow creased slightly. Even though he's being himself; he's really worried by her changes.

”Why are you the one that came to pick me?” Diana asked. They were getting closer to the entrance of the main house now.

”My brother gave me details of your arrival to this country a week ago. I've been waiting for you since then.” He replied.

Diana body froze for a second. Ethan felt it from the contact of there palm but didn't react to it and maintained the same expression.

”What's going on?” Diana asked.

”I didn't tell you from the start not to distract you, but I knew we could meet when you're out on a mission as you are now?” Said Ethan as they headed inside the well decorated living room. White tufted couch that match with the paint of the walls. Beautiful inky wallpaper that makes the interior alluring, thanks to the white walls. And many more heart melting designs.

”You knew why I am here?” Diana asked.

”I promise not to intrude. I'm here for you Diana. Why you're here can be left out if you don't wish to share.” stopping in his tracks, he looked into her eyes and she did the same. Seeing her eyes heavy with tears threatening to escape it; ”I told you I'm cool with anything, as long as you're safe. So feel free to be yourself with me.” he added.

”You came to this country and bought this house just to see me?” Diana asked, her eyes glued on his lips, not wanting to miss the reply. She wanted to be sure it's coming from his mouth and not some kind of audio device with his voice imitated in it.

”Yes.” Ethan replied. Seeing her expression, it's taking him all the self control he could gathered to not hug her tight right now. ”I want to spend the time you will be using here with you.” he added.

Diana still find this foreign. If Ethan hasn't confessed his feelings while she looked the worst; she might have thought he's like this because of her changes.

Even though her look is different; it still doesn't change the fact that this beauty is too much for her.

Ethan turned to leave while he was still able to control himself, but Diana didn't move from the spot. Instead; she forced her hand out of his, still staring into his eyes as he had returned his gaze back to hers.

”Why are you doing this?” Diana asked. ”How did I managed to deserve all this, deserve your effort and attention. T-this is totally insane!” She added, her tears slowly finding their ways out.
