Seth's P-O-V

'Are you kidding me, man?' Dean asked Roman, after he announced our new meeting scheduled for next two days in New York.

'No. I'm not Dean. I understand it's a sudden decision and we aren't ready for the trip. But, I guess you heard Mr. Williamson, this is really urgent and we are to live in a few hours.' Roman said.

Dean sighed in frustration and stood up from his chair.

I don't know what's his problem! I mean none of us are protesting.

'Hey! cool down man!' I said standing up and getting near Dean. Dean's eyes fell on me and he immediately turned to Roman.

'Hey! Why don't you take Seth with you? May be I can manage the stuffs here!' he tried once again.

Roman and me exchanged confused looks.

'Dean! Wasn't it you who is dealing with Mr. Williamson's company for two years?' Roman asked.

'Yeah man, and as far as I know you, you never backed away from your job. What's wrong now? It's just two days, relax.' I said tapping his shoulders. Dean rolled his eyes.

'Who else are going?' he finally asked.

'Just you, me, Alexa, our assistant Bayley, Monic and Sami.' Roman said.

Dean gave Roman a questioning look.

'Just them?!' he asked as if he wanted the whole office to go to New York.

'Who else do you think should go? I mean I need to stay here and deal with things.' I asked getting kind of irritated.

'Not you, just can't we have someone from.. the Event Management Section. I mean someone like.. ehm.. Rebecca Lynch!?... or.. ehm.. someone?' Dean asked.

Becky! Hey! Can anyone tell me what's his obsession with Becky?

'Dean, we are already taking Sami from the Event Management Section. I guess Becky should stay here.' Roman said. I guess he was getting irritated too.

Dean bumped his fist on the table.

'Oh great! Becky, Randy everyone stays here and you ask me to go to New York?' Dean asked sarcastically.

What was that about? He's acting a little eccentric now!

Roman sighed.

'Okay fine. If you would feel that lonely, we are gonna take Randy with us. Better?' Roman asked frustrated.

Randy! I always felt Dean somewhat hated Randy.

'Much better.' Dean said and left the room.

'What's wrong with this guy?' Roman asked me.

'No idea.' I said.

Roman is right. Something is really wrong with Dean these days. I can never forget the night he left me with Bliss in ML Plaza for washroom. When I asked him the next day, he said he saw Becky on the hallway, and she wasn't feeling well. So, he had to drop her to her quarter. Okay, I get it ge was being a responsible boss but he could've also been a responsible friend and informed me about that!

Fuck! It's for him that I had to spend my night in the darkness of the hotel with Bliss and also get humiliated by the mob in the morning.

Roman sighed.

'Anyway, you've a big responsibility here bro. Just make sure none of our employees suffer from any inconvenience.' Roman said, placing his hands on my shoulders.

I nodded.

'Don't worry man. I'll try to look after each and every aspect in here.' I assured.

Alexa's P-O-V

'Okay Miss Tate. Dad's BP is getting high and also you have to keep a look on his hemoglobin. It's quite low too.' I said by my phone getting into the elevator.

'Yeah and give mom the pills on time.' I said.

'Yeah, don't worry, I'll be back in two days. Okay bye.' I hung the phone up and the elevator door opened.

I need to drop the latest budgetary allocations in Luke's table. He isn't here yet though.

I walked to Luke's room. Surprisingly, it was open. I guess Summer or any model was inside. I still don't know what made Roman retain her after she tried to desert us at the moment of crisis.

But, then I heard a male voice and instantly recognized it. It was the guy who got me humiliated in front of 50 people at the restaurant. I mean, he said he would think of something to get us out. But, who told him to fell asleep in the same counter that I was sleeping in. Scumbag!

I pushed the door open to see Summer and Rollins laughing about something. Summer's hand laid in Rollins' chest.

Ugh! Enough of your PDA!

But, they stopped as their eyes fell on me.

I went past them, not even sparing a look. Actually, with my father's current condition I was in no mood of an argument.

I felt Rollins' eyes on me though he didn't open his mouth. Thank God!

'Hey Alexa!' Summer greeted.

'Hello!' I said not looking at her as I placed the files in Luke's table.

'So, when's your flight?' Summer asked me. Of course, she wanted me to leave soon.

'In four hours.' I said turning to face them for the first time.

'Oh! Wow! You must h..' she couldn't finish as Rollins cut her off.

'You look upset!' he said suddenly. Don't know if it was a comment or an inquiry.

Unfortunately, I had no time for them and I was actually getting late.

'I must get going.' I said getting put of the ominous room.

****
The next day

It was a big meeting hall in New York. I was nervous yet excited as I went for a last minute preparation of my data.

As per my routine, I switched my phone off and took a deep breath.

Four hours later

'Okay, so looking at the presentations of your Finance Officer, it seems like we should give this a try and look forward to take our partnership to a new extent.' Mr. Williamson said.

'Yes. We are looking forward to make our partnership stronger than ever.' Roman said shaking his hand.

The meeting ended with a light refreshment and of course, Dean's great sense of humor. We went out of the meeting hall towards our hotel.

'Hey! My phone is not getting the tower. What about yours?' Bayley asked as we entered the car.

Oops! I remembered my phone was still switched off.

'Ehm.. Let me see Bay..' I said and switched my phone on.

I gasped as I saw eight messages from Miss Tate.

Msg 1: Missing Bliss. Your father just slipped off in the bathroom.

Msg 2: Mr. Bliss is bleeding a lot. I don't know what to do. He's unconscious.

Msg 3: Please pick up the phone Miss Bliss.

Msg 4: Miss Bliss. The ambulance is really late. He is already low of hemoglobin. I'm really scared.

Msg 5: I called Dr. Ben. His wife said he is out of town.

Msg 6: I don't know what to do. Should I leave your mother alone and take him to the hospital.

Message 7: We are taking him to Salubre Hospitals. He has lost a lot of blood.

Message 8: I don't have much money. Please do something Miss Bliss.

The phone fell off my hand and my breathe choked on my throat.

'What happened Alexa? Any problem?' Bayley asked. I could barely talk.

'Oh my God! You're crying! What's wrong?' I didn't know what to say and burst into her arms in tears.

'Dad.. Dad.. He's in hospital.' was all I could say.

***
'

Okay Okay! Calm down Alexa.' Dean said. 'When did the last message come?' he asked as we got out of the car.

'It was like.. like three hours ago and she isn't even pick..king the phone now. I'm really scared Dean.' I said hiccupping through my sobs.

'Fuck! It has been long enough.' Dean said looking at Roman who nodded. I knew the implication and burst into tears.

'But, it's gonna be fine Alexa. Trust me your dad's gonna be fine.' Bayley said hugging me.

'I think I should call Seth and ask him to look into the matter.' Roman said.

'N..No. It's fine. No need to call him.' I said curtly wiping my tears.

I don't want Rollins of all people to know my remorse. Moreover, he would never know the seriousness and who knows, might even go on to make fun of it the next day.

'But, Alexa..' Roman tried to object.

'Please Roman..' I requested.

'All right.' he said with a sigh.

'Did you call.. ehm.. Becky?' Dean asked.

'Yeah, I did but she wasn't receiving.' Bayley said.

'Here you go, Miss Bliss. I've got the tickets.' Sami said getting us two tickets for Tampa.

I was definitely missing tomorrow's meeting but I guess Sami was gonna miss it for me too.

'Sami, there was no need for you to..' I couldn't complete as Sami spoke.

'C'mon Miss Bliss, Mr. Reigns and Mr. Ambrose said I had a very little part to play in tomorrow's meeting. Plus, Bayley's gonna handle things pretty well.' Sami said giving Bayley a smile.

Bayley bit her lip and gave him a shy smile.

'Okay! I think you shouldn't be more late now.' Roman said.

We nodded and took the car to the airport.

*****

'Please be a bit faster.' I asked the driver as we took the turn leading to Salubre Hospitals.

I don't know why Miss. Tate took him to Salubre Hospitals. This is one of the most expensive hospitals in Florida. I heart beat fast as the car stopped near  Salubre Hospitals.

Sami paid the rent and I ran towards the reception.

'Alexander Bliss..' I said to the receptionist in a broken voice.

She looked at me wide eyed.

'Yeah, the trauma patient?' she asked.

'Ye.. Yes.' I said. Sami stood behind me.

'ehm.. Yeah, I remember him running out of blood few hours ago. But, sorry ma'am, it's almost midnight and the visiting hours are over.' she said.

'What? My father's in such a critical condition and you're saying that the visiting hours are over?' My emotions burst out.

'Miss Bliss please calm down.' Sami said holding me from back.

'Please, we came straight from New York and you can easily understand her mental state.' Sami said.

'Sorry Sir! Rules are rules. We can't just allow her to meet the patient.' she said.

'What do you mean? He's my father God dammit, Sami what is she saying?' I asked turning to Sami. I really had no idea of right and wrong now.

'Okay ma'am. Just a minute.' she said and called someone.

He needed blood and he needed money. He is fucking paralyzed. Is he even ali.. Oh no! He should be. He's my father. And mom, where is she?

'Ma'am, you two can go but the patient is in ICU. So, all you can do is wait in front of his room. It's cabin no. 145 in the seventh floor.' she said.

I didn't waste a minute and took the elevator. Sami followed me.

'It's gonna be fine Miss Bliss, don't worry.' Sami said.

'I don't know Sami. They said he was short of blood and he is in ICU. I really don't know anything.' I sobbed.

The elevator opened and we ran towards cabin number 145.

There was a reception in front of the cabin.

'Excuse me. I'm the daughter of Mr. Alexander Bliss. How's he?' I asked.

There were two nurses who exchanged serious looks.

'Did the patient in 145 make it?' they asked the third nurse.

She shrugged her shoulders. My heart stopped right there as the floor beneath me slit open. He left me. My father left me.

'Miss Bliss!' Sami held my shoulders from behind. I had no energy to talk. My eyes were closing and my legs were weakening.

Just then..

'Miss Bliss!' I heard Miss Tate's voice. She had been my parent's nurse for long.

I turned to see her standing a few feet away from me.

'Miss Tate!' I said in a mere whisper.

She came forward.

'When did you come?' she asked standing closer to me.

'J.. Just now. Dad! Is he..?' I hiccuped. Miss Tate frowned her eyes.

'Well, he was in a really critical stage and I called you a number of times but it was switched off. So, I brought him here.' she said.

'And then?' I asked calming my heart for the impending storm.

She looked down and sighed.

I held her shoulders.

'Tell me Tate. What happened to my Dad? Is he dead? C'mon tell me Tate?' I asked jerking her shoulders.

She shook her head.

'Stop it Miss Bliss. How could you even think of something that ominous?' she said in a serious tone. 'Yes, he was serious and lost a lot of blood but then they had to do a major operation on him and now he's in ICU for post-operative observation.' she said.

'M..My old man's alive?' I asked as tears rolled down my eyes.

She nodded.

'Wow! Dad!' I smiled through my tears.

'I told you Miss Bliss. He's gonna be fine.' Sami said.

I nodded.

'But, an operation in here. I mean, you said you didn't have money and I didn't leave my cards in the house too.' I asked curiously.

Miss Tate smiled and sighed.

'When I didn't get you on the call, I called in your office and well.. He managed them all.' she said.

I raised my eyebrow.

'Who?' I asked curiously.

'Him.' she said pointing behind me. I turned around to see..

... Rollins discussing something with the doctor. He had his glasses on and was going through some pages.

'Rollins!' I muttered almost to myself.

'Yes. Mr. Rollins. You have no idea what would happen to your father right now if Mr. Rollins didn't arrive in the right time. When the ambulance was late, he got his own limo and rushed us to the hospital. We would not have been able to pay the bills for the operation if Mr. Rollins wasn't here! And you know when your father lost blood and the hospital ran out of blood, it was.. ' she continued but I didn't stay to listen.

I rushed towards Rollins and the doctor.

'Thank God Mr. Rollins, you got the blood for the patient at the very exact moment.' I heard the doctor say Rollins.

'No. It's nothing. Actually, I got some men in the blood bank. But, how's Mr. Bliss now?' Rollins asked.

'He's sleeping. But, don't worry the man's out of danger.' the doctor said and then his eyes fell on me.

'Hello Miss. Are you related to the patient?' the doctor asked. Rollins turned his head to see me too.

I could say he was a bit surprised but not that much.

'I.. I'm Alexa Bliss, the daughter of Alexander Bliss.' I said.

'Oh! Don't worry! Your father is doing better. His BP is normal now and he's out of danger.' the doctor assured with a smile.

Emotions overcame my voice.

'Thanks Doctor. Thank you very much.' I said in a broken voice.

'Oh no Miss Bliss. You shouldn't be thanking me. I only did my job. It's this man that you owe the thanks.' he said pointing to Rollins.

I looked at Rollins who did a playful wave with his hands, a smile persisting on his lips.

'Well excuse me now.' The doctor said and walked away.

I looked at Rollins and he looked at me. I didn't know what to do and broke down in his arms. Tears running down my eyes.

'Hey!' he said in a quite confused tone. But, unlike other times, didn't push me away either. Rather, I felt him hesitating at first but then wrap his hands around me.

'It's gonna be okay Bliss.' he whispered and kissed my head.

My body trembled by the touch of his lips and that's when I realized I let emotion engulf me into something I'd not appreciate. I slowly got off him.

I felt him releasing me slowly.

'Mr. Rollins! How's Mr. Bliss now?' Sami asked walking to us.

'The doc said he's doing well. Nothing to worry about.' Rollins said shifting his eyes at me on the last part.

I realized I haven't thanked him yet. But, should I? I mean I hate him as much as he hates me. But, right now, he is the man that I owe even my life to. He's like my friend in need!

'Well, the visiting hours are over. So I think you two should go home and take some rest and come back tomorrow morning. I think I should be leaving too.' Rollins suggested.

'Yes, Miss Bliss. I think you really need some rest.' Sami said.

'I.. don't know.' I said.

'C'mon Bliss. There's no point in staying here now. I guess you're dad would be fine by the morning. You can see him then.' Rollins suggested.

I think he's right. But, mom!

'My mom! Is she alone?' I asked all of a sudden.

Sami looked purplexed while Rollins gave me a frustrated look.

'Relax Bliss. Becky is there with her. Miss Tate explained her the medications. I don't know if you trust Becky but I do.' he said somewhat taunting me because he knew Becky a day me are friends and of course, I trust her.

I sighed.

'Okay Let's go Miss Bliss.' Sami said. I nodded.

4 days later

Dad was released from the hospital this morning. These three days were really tensed for me. Hospital-Home, Hospital-Home. Becky was being really good in taking care of mom. Really, she's like a sister I never had!

Roman, Dean and Bayley visited dad in the hospital too. Dad talked with all of them. Dad said Rollins visited him regularly too. But, he never crossed path with me. Perhaps, he knew I was in no mood to argue with him these days.

I'm still on leave and unfortunately, Becky was in leave because of me too.

'Just one more spoon Dad.' I said getting the last drop of soup into his mouth. I decided I would feed my dad as long as I'm in leave.

Miss Tate stood by me all along. As for mom, Dean and Becky are feeding her like her parents.

Yes, Dean came a couple of hours ago and he was really sweet enough to help.

Bayley called me a while ago stating, she and Sami would come to my house at the evening. Roman too was really considerate and said he'd get me the treatment bills passed soon. I hope I can return the money to Rollins soon.

I washed my hands after feeding dD and guided his chair towards the bed. I laid him on the bed.

'Told you I'm not sleepy Lexi. You impose too much sometimes you know.' Dad said as I tried to get him to sleep.

'But, you have to. The more you take test, the more quick you'll recover. Now be a good boy and open your mouth.' I said.

'Okay mom.' he said opening his mouth. I smiled and gave him the medicine.

'Okay then, now take a cool nap for three hours.' I said.

Dad gave me puppy dog eyes.

'You know Lexi. You're a little too stubborn. I told that to Seth the other day and he agreed.' Dad said.

What! He shared his opinion with who..?

'Rol.. Seth! You told him this?' I asked frowning my eyes.

Dad chuckled.

'Yeah and at least, there's one guy in this earth who understands me.' he said.

'And.. ehm.. What did he say about me?' I asked.

Dad narrowed his brows.

'Nothing much. He only said how you go on shouting on people and do just work.. work.. work..' he said.

Phew! So, he hadn't shared much about our fights and hatred and most importantly about.. well, I knew he won't share that.

'You know, Lexi, the boy seems really nice.' Dad said.

Hmm.. Only if he knew!

'Yeah, I'll talk to him and hire him as your new nurse, happy?' I asked sarcastically.

'Ugh! Lexi baby, you're so boring!' Dad said.

'Hmm..but you should keep mum now and try to get some sleep.

Dad sighed and closed his eyes.

I left the room and went to the living room to see Becky on the phone.

'.. Oh yeah, don't worry. He's doing good now..' she said.

'.. Hmm.. don't worry, we are having our meals on time too...' she added.

Who is she talking to?

'.. Yeah, Mr. Ambrose left just now..okay..bye..' she said and hung up the phone.

'ehm.. Who was it Becky?' I asked curiously.

'Mr. Rollins.' she said.

'Owh! What did he say?' I asked.

'Nothing just his routine call.' Becky said.

I raised my eyebrows.

'Routine call?' I asked.

'Yeah, he calls he at least twice a day to know if your dad is doing okay. He said he would've come but he is really busy these days. You know, he even asks if you and me are having meals on time.' she added.

Something twitched inside me.

I mean, if he wanted to know, he could've called me straight and not Becky.

Does he hate me that much? I mean.. leave it. Why would I care?

7 days later

I've just been from the bank. Becky has joined the office from today. So, my parents were with Miss Tate. I had to draw some cash.

The cab stopped in front of my house.

I paid the driver and pressed the doorbell to my house.

Wait a second! Do I hear a familiar voice from inside?

The door opened. Miss. Tate welcomed me with a smile.

'Hello Miss Bliss. Look who came!' she said.

I heart beat for an unknown reason as I heard her.

I entered the house to see Rollins sitting in my living room.

He was laughing and talking and my dad looked really happy.

'Hey Dad..' I said making my presence felt. Both dad and Rollins looked at my direction.

'ehm.. Hello R.. Seth!' I greeted him with a forced smile. Don't get me wrong. I didn't expect him here at all.

'Hey!' he said giving me a slight smile.

'Come in Lexi. We were just now talking about you.' Dad said.

Oh no!

Rollins chuckled.

'Shut up Dad! You shouldn't talk much in this situation you know.' I said trying hide my embarrassment.

Dad crossed his brows.

'Wasn't it this morning that you said I should stay really happy in this condition.' he said and chuckled. 'Told you Seth, she is a little crazy too.' Dad added.

Rollins chuckled.

'I know.' he said sparing me a look. I gave him an annoyed look.

'But, hey! Seth, I never taught my daughter but you know, I make really good tea. Let me make you some.' Dad said trying start his wheel chair.

'Dad! Are you crazy?' I asked running to him. Rollins got up from his seat too.

'Mr. Bliss. Please...ehm..don't make yourself busy. I'll have it some other time.'he said driving dad's chair back to its previous position.

'Okay then. Hey! Lexi. You can make him some tea. But, don't do what you did last month.' Dad suggested.

Wtf! No way!

'Yeah. I don't mind that.' Rollins said throwing me a mischievous smile.

He had that 'now you'll be my bitch' look.

'Great! C'mon Lexi. Show him you're my daughter.' he said.

Dad is a true tea enthusiast. He loves to make and take tea. Too bad, the doc asked him to limit tea consumption.

I nodded and went to the kitchen.

****
5 minutes later

I came back with the tea cup-plates along with some cookies. The thing is I don't like tea, so I never taste what I make.

'Here you go.' I said handing Rollins the cup.

'Thanks a lot.' he said throwing me the same mischievous smile. I rolled my eyes.

I saw Rollins take a sip of the cup and pause. He gave me a strange look.

Well, from inside, I was nervous like a kid in an examination hall.

'So, how does my daughter make tea?' he asked as Rollins went for the second sip.

Rollins looked at my father and sighed. He gave him a smile.

'Really unbelievable!' he said sparing a look at me.

I smiled nervously.

He took the rest of his sips. I felt him  squeeze his eyelids too much as he swallowed. Did I serve it too hot?

'Uhhhhhh.. I think I should leave now Sir.' Rollins said to my Dad.

'And I would never forget the wonderful treatment I got from you.' he said with a smile. I felt him looking at me through the corner of his eyes.

'Oh! Never mention it Seth. I feel like keeping you in my house all the time.' Dad said.

Ugh! Sometimes the old man crosses the line!

'Okay bye Bliss.' he said looking at me.

'Bye.' both me and dad said at the same time.

Dad gave me a confused look.

'Bliss..!! Her or me?' he asked Seth surprised.

Shit! Why did he call me that in here?

Rollins smiled at him gently.

'Of course you.' he said and walked away to leave.

'Miss Bliss..' Miss Tait came from the kitchen as Rollins left. I looked at her.

'Did you make that tea?' she asked.

'Ehm.. Yes. Why?' I asked curiously.

'Oh no! You added salt in place of sugar again.' she informed. My jaw hung open.

'What have you done Lexi? You let me down in front of the boy.' Dad said.

Fuck!

I remembered Rollins' expressions as he took the tea. And then the way, he said, he will never forget the treatment.. Ugh! Oh no!

He doesn't feel I did it on purpose, does he?

Oh no! After all he's done, I pay him this way..he would think I'm so ungrateful!

But, who asked the idiot to drink the whole cup?

Well, he mustn't have left if I'm fast enough.

I rushed out of the house towards the porch where his car would be there.

Thanks to my speed and luck, he was talking to someone over phone. Could be one of his girlfriends! Hell! This guy would never change. I don't care, anyway.

I ran over to him. He had his back turned at me.

I hesitated a bit to call him amidst the phone call. Shall I wait?

Okay...three, two, one.. Go..

'Rollins!' I called him.

He hung his phone and turned back to face me.

'Bliss!' he said seemingly surprised.

'ehm... Sorry to stop you this way but..' I started but he cut me off.

'What do you want now?' he asked kind of annoyed. Can't blame him though.

'I.. I didn't do it on purpose.' I said in a single breath.

Rollins raised an eyebrow.

'Do what?' he asked.

As if he did not understand!

'ehm.. The tea. I.. I mixed salt instead of sugar. But, trust me I didn't do it on purpose. I.. I..m sorry that you had to.' I said without thinking.

'Come again.' Rollins said walking closer. I narrowed my brows.

'I said I'm s..' Oh no! Then I realized. Am I saying sorry to him?

Rollins looked at me for some time and burst into laughter.

'Oh man! I must've recorded this. Bliss just said sorry to me.' he laughed.

What's there to laugh like this?

I gave him a dirty look.

'Stop it Rollins. I was only being nice to you because I appreciate what you did for my family and its this way, that you repay me?' I said annoyed.

Rollins looked at me blank for some time.

'I really like your Dad, you know.' he said seriously. 'But his daughter makes horrible tea.' he said bursting into laughter.

I punched his arms. 'Asshole.' I muttered.

He laughed.

'Now Bliss, I really pity the guy who would marry you. Poor one. He'd have to go through such salty tea everyday.' he laughed again.

I rolled my eyes away.

'None of your concern. You're the idiot who decided to drink the whole salty tea.' I spat.

Rollins frowned his eyes.

'You're such a bimbo, you know. I did it only because I didn't want to hurt your Dad's honor. He seemed too proud of you.' he said. 'Only I know what you really are..' he muttered to himself.

What?

'Ehm.. Anyway I.. I'm gonna repay your debts of the hospital bills.' I said looking the other way.

Rollins looked at me blank.

'And you think money would be enough to pay me back?' he said raising an eyebrow.

I was confused.

'What else do you want then?' I asked nervously because I didn't know what this dickhead would ask for.

Rollins chuckled and came closer to me, almost closing the gaps between us.

'So, do you agree to give me what I want?' he asked in a whisper gazing over my whole body.

Oh no!

'ehm.. Well.. Uhhhhhh.. Rollins.. I..' I stammered backing away a little.

'Bliss..' he held my shoulders and squeezed them. I swallowed the lump formed on my throat.

'I've been thinking about this for a while now.' he said seriously. 'But, now that I've got a chance, I don't want to loose it.' he said.

'Wh..what are you talking about?' I asked as my heart beat thousand times faster.

Suddenly, he lifted my chin with his thumb, making me gasp.

Oh no! He's a playboy, a nymphomaniac, a pervert, a Casanova and every other term they use for shitty guys like him.

Now, he's got his chance on me. But, I don't want that. I already got pained by him once and to be honest, it isn't healed yet. Help!

'So, Bliss..' Rollins looked straight into my eyes. 'Would you be the model for my photos?' he asked.

What the..

I burst out into laughter. So did Rollins. He knew he got me!

'Is that what you wanted to say?' I said chuckling.

'Well, yeah.. Kind of..' Rollins said laughing too as he scratched the back of his neck.

'So, is it a yes?' he asked.

'Do I have an option?' I asked.

Rollins shook his head.

I sighed looking down. 'Okay, let's do it.' I said.

Rollins' face beamed to delight.

'That's great Bliss. Wow!' he said. 'I'll call you then.' he said. 'Wow! I can't believe you said yes.' he said excited.

Why is he that happy?

He left in few minutes as I wondered, did I do the right thing by agreeing to his proposal? Or will my gratitude strike me back?

****

Over with another chapter..

Did you like it?

What do you think is going on between Seth and Alexa?

Are you excited for what would happen next?
