Chapter 121 - CHAPTER 120

These distances have made some pact with the closeness,

The eyes, bowing down made a promise of love

Now this offense has happened

With hundreds of stars, filling this lap

Take me away somewhere where your heart desires,

Our meeting is God's wish

On us, his divine light has rained,

O beloved,o beloved......…..

Soon the food arrives and they both indulge in the exquisite platter of food. 

"Next time we are going to bring Ozan too," Amy said in between the comfortable silence.

"We could but don't you think this place is a little boring for him," Daniel replied, swallowing his bite. Amy opened her mouth to say something when a squeal gained their attention. 

"Awww, you guys look so lovely," 

Daniel groaned hearing that voice. Seriously, here?

Amy on the other hand wasn't bothered much, instead, she looked surprised and startled a bit.

"Silas!" She greeted him with a hug as he approached their table.

"What a coincidence right?" Silas grinned seeing the bothered expression on Daniel's face

"Why do I doubt the coincidence part!" Daniel frowned, dabbing his mouth with a napkin.

"Hey, Guys. Wow, you look alluring!" Nadia came from behind, hugging Amy.

"I am sorry for ruining your time, we just happened to come here to meet my friend and while going out. This idiot beside me started to squeal like a girl seeing you guys!" Nadia said, sending an apologetic smile their way.

"Whom do you call an idiot. I just came here to tease them!" Silas grumbled under his breath.

Daniel sighed,

"Don't be apologetic Nadia, I know this idiot!"

" Why don't you join us!" Amy motioned towards the empty chairs.

"Really!" Silas grinned, dragging a chair but Nadia grabbed his arm in a tight grip. Giving him an incredulous look, 

"Thank you but we are already getting late for home. Aren't we Silas," She gave Silas a 'don't you dare oppose look'. 

Daniel scoffed but immediately covered it up when Silas glared at him. 

Amy chuckled, resettling her curls to the side,

"Did you like the gifts I bought for you?"

"Duh, who wouldn't but I would have preferred the one I asked you specifically." 

Amy dipped her brows going for a memory recap but gasped internally when she remembered what she asked for, making Nadia laugh and the two guys watch in confusion. 

"You a-arent going to get it soon!" Amy stuttered sitting back in her chair. This piqued Daniel's interest.

"What are you talking about?" Silas piped in eagerly, 

"Nothing of your interest, let's go now!" Nadia said, dragging him not before waving at the two people.

"Don't drag me, woman, Bye guys!" Silas whined trying to yank his arm from Nadia's hold.

Daniel noticed her eyes scooped down and a tint of redness covering her nose.

"What did Nadia asked for?" Daniel asked, cutting a piece of his steak.

Amy breathed in, twirling the beans on her plate.

"S-she asked for a niece or nephew!" She looked up to see his expression which became rigid for a moment, she knew the reason behind that expression.

It was true for a moment, some memories tried to conceal his happiness but he didn't let them. Instead, he smiled, 

"Well, we did the deed right!" A sly smile adorning his face showing his dimples.

"Do you want more children with me?" Amy asked blatantly but bit her lip in cringe at the choice of her words.

"What kind of a question is this, there isn't anyone whom I would have children with besides wouldn't it be wonderful to have a mini you running around wrapping me around her finger just like her mother." 

Amy didn't answer just stared at the amazing man in front of him. Sometimes she would really wonder what good deed she did to have him as a reward.

"What about you?" 

His question brought back bitter memories to her, how she reacted to her first pregnancy and acted ignorantly throughout it. How she cursed and denounced it. But this time she wouldn't let this happen if she got pregnant. This time she is going to cherish it with Daniel and Ozan.

"I guess I would love to have one or two more maybe!" She answered truthfully giving him a shy glance. She felt like her heart would burst out of happiness and love tonight.

Daniel laughed, a soulful one seeing her shyness. A streak of happiness enveloped his heart listening to her answer, he didn't needed to know how sincere and definite she was. Wasn't it his dream to build a family out of love with her?

"Should we start the practice then,"

The tint that occupied her nose turned into a furious blush covering her cheeks.

"Stop it, Daniel, you are talking like Silas right now," She snapped quickly swallowing her food looking away, all the thoughts about lovemaking flashing in her mind but she dodged them away remembering the one-step thing Daniel said earlier.

She looked so cute and mesmerizing to her at the moment that he wanted to forget everything and ravish her till the time she was indeed pregnant but he knew they needed to take it slowly if he really wanted their relationship to blossom into love, devotion and affection.

"He might say all these things but do you honestly think he could do such things!" He joked pointing towards the window where he was seen getting a smack from Nadia on his back.

"Daniel!" Amy chided but couldn't control the giggle that spurted out from her mouth as they continued to laugh and enjoy their dinner. 

"Mmmm!" The rich taste of chocolate touched her taste buds blinding her senses as she moaned while savoring the taste of chocolate brownie. 

After a hearty meal, it was mandatory to have a dessert right. Well, it was Amy's quote so here they were outside a sweet shop enjoying the take out of brownies. It would be Amy enjoying only as Daniel was too busy staring outside at a scene.

Her gaze landed on the untouched piece of brownie in Daniel's hand making her frown. She followed his gaze wondering what might have caught his attention.

The only thing she saw outside was a child eating ice cream with his parents, they didn't look quite rich but the smiles and happiness oozing from their faces were greater than any wealth. At first, she thought that he might be missing Ozan but then another fact overshadowed the last one.

Swallowing the bite present in her mouth, she placed the remaining brownie back in the box.

"Did you ever go back to confront them," Amy asked cautiously hoping that it wouldn't spoil their night which had been perfect till now.

It didn't take him long to register her words in his mind and understand what she asked for. An awful expression took over his face but he decided to answer it.

"I did but there was no one to confront," he replied bitterly, 

"My father already killed my stepmother the night I ran away from their house and a neighbour told me that a few days after the incident my father was killed by a gambler as he was unable to pay his debt back"  He placed his brownie back, dusting off his hand.

"Doesn't it infuriate you that you didn't get to confront them, maybe land a few punches on their faces or better kill them!" Amy sneered, just the thought of them abusing a younger Daniel boiled her veins.

"I knew for a reason why my father hated and abused me. He loved my birth mother to no extent yet she chose to run away with someone else leaving me behind which by the way I learned that she too died in a car accident, forcing my father to become a drug addict and marry my stepmother. He hated me because I reminded him of my mother and she hated me for the same reason I guess" A hurt filled with bitterness was assorted in his voice, 

"May they all rot in hell, I would have personally sent them to hell if I ever met those pathetic excuses of humans!" Amy muttered with a determined face making him chuckle.

"You know I visited their graves but I felt guilty for not feeling an ounce of emotion other than hurt and resentment for them. At that time I realized that it doesn't matter, tesoro, they have already reached their end. Confronting them in an otherwise situation wouldn't do me any good. The scars they left behind will always be etched on my body and mind"

A hand reached him, folding her fingers into his softly as he wrapped his around them like a ring.

He stared at her tempting eyes that we're delivering a message of affection to him.

"They didn't deserve someone as compassionate and loving as you Daniel. You don't need to feel any chasm, you got me and Ozan!"

She leaned a bit, planting a kiss on his jawline, making a sudden, promising feeling wash through his soul.

He cupped her face and without a single word, with all his passionate intensity kissed her like the moon kisses the sky. She held his collar, kissing back with an intensity near his.

Out of breath, he pulled back gazing at her soft lips and dishevelled breath. 

"Brownies never tasted this good before," He whispered, making her blush as she smacked her shoulder slightly settling back in her seat with a beating heart, 

"Idiot" she muttered under her breath making him laugh.
