Chapter 230 - Dream Or Imagination?

"Wakey wakey." David murmured softly next to her ear. He had parked the car in her usual spot. But when he turned around to look at his Boss, he found her deep asleep as she rested her head against the headrest of her seat.  

'No wonder I was able to drive in peace." He let out a low chuckle before he tapped her shoulder lightly a couple of times. He heard a low groan which escaped her lips as she shifted in her seat, but didn't wake up. 

Shaking his head sideways, he unlocked the doors and stepped out of the car. He walked around to her side and opened the door after making sure she wasn't leaning on it. After unfastening her seatbelt, he slowly slid down his hands behind her back and under her legs and carefully picked her up. He made sure that her head was resting comfortably on his shoulder as she continued to enjoy her peaceful slumber. 

He carried her all the way up to the top most floor where her office was located. Under the scrutinizing gaze of the staff member, he carried her inside her office and then room inside. He placed her down on the bed and covered her body with the duvet, making sure that she was tucked in properly up to her chin. 

After making sure that she was comfortable, he moved his attention towards the wound which needed to be tended as soon as possible. He removed her other boot as his mind drifted to its other partner. 'Damn! I forgot to bring it up with me.' After making a mental note that he needed to bring it over later, he decided to look for the first aid kit. 

Twenty minutes later, he was done with cleaning her wound and the new dressing as well. He put down the first aid kit back in its original place after he made sure that her feet was securely tucked inside the duvet. Giving her small face which was peeping out the duvet one last look, he walked out of the room, not forgetting to close the door on his way out.

Slowly opening her eyelids, she stretched her arms as a loud yawn escaped her lips. Thinking that she might still be in the car's shotgun seat, her eyes moved around only to find out that she was in a completely different environment. She shot up from the bed, sitting up straight as her eyes lingered on her surroundings for a bit longer. It was then she realized that she was inside the room of her office. 

'Who the hell brought me up?' She thought to herself as she scratched the back of her head. She remembered that David was the one who was driving her back to the office as her wound needed to be cleaned and required a new dressing. 

She moved the duvet from her right leg only to find out that her foot was wrapped up in a new bandage. 'Now, who the hell did that?' With each passing minute, she was becoming more and more confused. Moreover, there was no one beside her in the room to whom she could ask these questions which were troubling her mind. 

As if listening to her troubled mind, somebody opened the door to the room firm outside and stepped inside. Thinking that it must be Bella, Stella was preparing herself to shoot all those questions at her. But when her eyes landed on the face of the person who had just walked inside, all those questions got stuck at the back of her mouth as her mind refused to function. 

"You are finally up. Aren't you becoming more lazy these days?"

She heard the very voice which her ears had been missing to listen for the past one month. The very same voice which was no less than music to her ears and a melodious lullaby in her sleepless nights. 

"I am dreaming again, ain't I?" She murmured to herself as she questioned her own sight. It wasn't the first time she had had a dream about him. It wasn't the first time during the past month that she hadn't imagined him standing right before her, all freshly showered and neatly dressed, just like his usual self. 

She had to accept that even when he was a part of her imagination, he didn't look any less handsome. He was still an eye candy for her. She wanted to pinch herself to bring herself out of this dream. But she didn't know whether or not she could handle the heartbreak of him disappearing right before her eyes, once again. 

"What are you staring at?" She heard him ask and couldn't help but tear up a little.

"You." She stated as a matter of fact before closing her eyes shut. A lone tear escaped her eyes when she pinched herself on the arm. She slowly opened her eyes thinking that she might be back in the car or may be in the same room, waking up with a startle. But to her dismay, as soon as she opened her eyes they landed right on the same familiar face but this time, it was way too closer.

"Are you crazy?" He questioned her again before flicking her on the forehead. "Why would you pinch your own self?" He shook his head in helplessness as he pulled on her arm to examine the spot where she had pinched herself. Just as he thought, the spot was glaring red, making him frown further. 

"You have definitely lost your mind…." His words trailed off when he found her jumping right in his arms, burying her face in his chest as she began to sob.
