It was snow everywhere and Christmas was on the edge....I always liked the Christmas season...Dan and got Christmas trees for both of us and spent 2 days decorating them...It was fun and enjoyed it more than thought would...I spent Christmas in my hometown with my family...Susan was the one missing...since it was her first Christmas after marriage, she spent it with her in laws...the new year was at its best coz spent it with Dan...only Dan...he stayed with me the whole day and cracked jokes making me laugh and we mostly talked of our childhood days....we exchanged our Christmas gifts on new years....he got me a gold pendant for Christmas while gave him a wallet with one of our pictures in it...I loved my gift very much and he said always got him what he thought of getting it later...It came as a happy news on new years that Susan was pregnant....they even had a small family party to celebrate in the middle of this month tp which Dan and were invited....Casey got engaged a few days before and we were invited for a dinner with her fiance....It came as a big surprise to me and dan when we saw Kane with Casey....they had got engaged to each other....now nothing could get better to celebrate....
All four of us planned for a small trip to celebrate and decided to go skiing....I packed my bags and put them at Dan's deciding to go from thereafter work....It was very snowy outside when headed out of my office...It was forecasted that there was a snowstorm on its way and was predicted that it would stay for at least three days....Casey went home early to pack taking my car since hers broke down in the morning...I was left alone not knowing what to do...I headed outside the door with other workers when the weather calmed down a bit...I searched for a cab when saw dan's car and turned to go towards him...It was very cold outside and the inside of the car was more than welcoming....he started for my apartment and it started to snow harder...
"How did u know to get me?" I asked curiously
"Kane told me that Casey took ur car....so thought of picking u up...u could've called me baby" he said smiling at me
"I didn't want to disturb u dani and never thought it would come so soon"said
"It's a storm baby...what did u expect?"
"do u think u can make it in time to my apartment and then to urs?" I asked him worriedly
"Ur apartment is too far from here sweetheart...am going straight to mine"....I was shocked after what he said...his apartment....for three days...no can't stay with him....I was thinking to myself when Dan interrupted..."what?....something wrong?...why are frowning?"
"Dan...plz take me to my apartment...I can't go home with u"
"Are u mad or what?....don't u know urs is a bit far and y can't u come home with me?"
"Am sorry Dan...I just can't...plz understand"i said pleading him and he suddenly stopped the car and turned in my direction...
"U understand riya....I can't stay in urs without changing for three days...at least u've got something to wear in mine and now we don't have the time to go back and forth...understand?" he said calmly and when didn't say anything.."now what...u wanna go to ur apartment, right?" he said angrily..."I'll take u then and ...Is it ok with u if die freezing out in the middle of the road?"he was raging in anger now..."what problem have u got staying with me?...It's just for three days till the storm goes...I promise won't bite u" he said starting the car and asked me if want to go to my apartment still...when nodded my head no he headed fast towards his....I closed my eyes when tears started to blur my vision and was scared of what would happen btw us in three days...
Daniel....
I became furious wen riya wouldn't understand the importance of going to my apartment...she behaved very strange from the moment said was taking her with me...we entered my apartment without much difficulty from the storm...I went in my room and asked her if she wants to freshen up before me...she nodded yes and took her supplies into the bathroom....she never spoke a word...she came out and still wouldn't speak...I quickly freshened up and came out while she was sitting on my loveseat drinking coffee staring outside the window....
"Any reason y u wouldn't talk?" I said standing beside her....she again nodded her head no without looking at me...."am sorry for shouting at u like that"I shouted again in anger and stormed off without drinking my coffee...I opened my laptop to finish my pending work....when closed it after working out my anger and got up, saw riya sleeping in my bed like a kid with her palms under her chin...she looked beautiful even in the dim light...forgetting my argument went and sat on the bed looking at her...I stroked my right thumb to her left cheek...
"Gn8 sleeping beauty"said smiling down at her and bent down and kissed her forehead...when raised and bent down again to kiss her lips she suddenly opened her eyes startling me....
"My god riya..u startled me"said giving a light laugh but she was still staring at me looking afraid..."everything ok?"asked her
"Ya Dan...am fine"...at least she talked now...she got up taking a pillow with her..
"What are u doing?"asked a bit confused
"Um..Dan u sleep in here, I'll take the couch" she said moving towards the living room when caught her hand stopping her..
"Wait...nothing will go wrong if we sleep in the same bed"...I said pulling her back to the bed...she sat quietly with her eyes closed breathing hard...I was definitely hurt by her behavior...what did she think?...."ok fine...u sleep in here and I'll take the couch"said angrily taking the pillow and stood up...this time she caught my hand and turned to look back at her...she patted the bed asking me to sit down and did...
"I want to tell u abt Jeff" she said slowly looking down
"Now?"asked more confused now and she nodded yes...tears started flowing down her cheeks and could never stand it...I knew it wasn't a good history with Jeff, so gathered her in my arms to give her comfort...she held on to me tightly laying her head on my shoulder crying for sometime...
"I met him at a party Dan" she started when felt her fresh tears wetting my shirt.."I was only 19 and not at all matured...he flirted with me like anything and started liking him like a kid who goes behind the man with chocolates...he was very nice to me and asked me out which readily accepted which turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life...we went out together often and started liking him more though knew it wasn't love...I convinced myself that would one day love him as much as could...he always said he loved me and whenever he tried to kiss me wouldn't allow him coz felt something was wrong and missing..." she stopped to wipe away some tears..I still held her without knowing wat to do or say...
"One day he took me to his apartment and he started acting all weird....we sat there talking and he kept on drinking...he compelled me to kiss him and when objected, he got very angry and pushed me to the ground climbing on top and started to tear my shirt"...she said holing me tight..."he tried to rape me Dan"...she said in a muffled tone and felt my anger rising to the extreme..."since he drank too much he passed out after sometime and took one of his shirt to cover myself and ran home"....there was silence for sometime...."he came to see me the next day....I thought he would apologize for what he did to me Dan...but he shouted that was for no good and no man can ever be happy with me....I got angry and shouted back that he was mean and no woman will ever marry him and that's y he came to my office the other day with his wife...that's y was afraid to go out with guys who asked me out and decided to stay alone rather than getting hurt again...am still not over it Dan" she said pulling herself to look at me...
"I love u baby....I won't hurt u in any way...don't u tru.."I started slowly but before could finish she put her fingers on my lips nodding no...
"I trust u completely Dan...more than anyone...that's y was afraid to stay with u alone...I don't want to hurt u Dan" she said when fresh tears rolled down her cheeks...I understood what she was trying to say and wiped off her tears...she hugged me again and was angry at that bastard for doing such things to riya..."I want u to sleep well...that would make things better for now"said pushing her from me and took the pillow when she caught my hands again...
"U are allowed to sleep in bed with me Dani" she said smiling lightly...I could see the love and trust in her eyes....I smiled and got under the covers to her right...
Riya....
He joined me in bed, kissed me gn8 and turned on his right with his back to me...he completely understood me and didn't want to push things...my heart was filled with so much love for him at this moment...I lay on my right watching his back and thanked god for giving me such a wonderful man to spend my life with...
"Dan..."I said slowly hoping he hadn't slept
"Hmm" was all he said...I placed my left hand on his shoulder pulling lightly to turn him towards me....he turned to his left facing me with a smile and tucked some loose hair behind my ear....I couldn't hold it anymore..
"I love you Dani" I said quietly and saw his eyes widening when his smile was replaced with a big grin...he propped up on one elbow looking down at me...
"Say it again" he urged me
"I love you Daniel rickson...I love you" I said smiling at him
"I've been waiting so long to hear it" he said and bent down to kiss me...he then lay on his back pulling me with him and rested my head on his shoulder..."I love u too riya" he said quietly and slowly drifted off to a peaceful sleep after a very long time...
When woke up in the morning saw Dan wasn't in bed and called out to him...there was no response...I got up and went in search of him when something caught my eyes on the kitchen counter...It was a note in Dan's handwriting...
"Morning sweetheart...It was an emergency, so had to go early...will be back for lunch...I love u...ur Dani"..I smiled to myself reading it again and again and kissed his name on it...remembering the storm suddenly, turned to the window...It was still snowing but not heavily like yesterday......when took my mobile to call Dan saw he had called me twice and left a message...I saw the time and was surprised to know tat it was past 11...I called Dan but he had his mobile switched off...I prayed for Dan to come home safe...I brushed, took a hot bath and ate toast and scrambled eggs for brunch....I started preparing lunch right away with the chicken he had and thought of baking his favorite choco cookies...everything was over by 1.30 and still Dan hadn't come...I looked outside the window and it had started to snow hard again....I tried calling him again but again switched off....fear got hold of me...what if Dan had gotten into trouble in the storm....I prayed nothing should happen to him and stood near the window waiting for Dan when the words he spoke yesterday about dying freezing in the storm flashed in my mind.....
