Chapter 22: chapter 22

Before we start today's chapter.It's been ages since I have posted our leads' outfits photos!Here you goEleanor's Outfit:Kylen's Outfit:Kylen's POV, In search of Sam, my life has set into another track itself. Firstly, the passengers thought and declared us as couple. Nor was worried for me. But these people made a fuss out of it. Then she complements Sam and me, and I had to look out for her. We found Sammy and the way we ran to escape from the old man. And apparently, I have turned into a mud monster by rolling over the damp damned mud.Now, the fountain is blessing us. Psych!What the hell is going on?!I tugged her in reflex as the water dropped on us with a force. Her hands rested on my shoulders.Her soft skin brushing against mine while her lashes fluttering with the droplets curling on them. Her breath had turned rapid along mine as the proximity of closeness had peaked.The water had changed its direction but I didn't want to let go this moment. I wanted to lose myself in her amber eyes.Looking at my reflection in her orbs, 'Don't ruin her life. She doesn't belong to you.', my mind scowled at me.I dropped my hands, and she eventually stood up.I looked around and tried to stand."Careful.", Nor gripped my arm, "The floor is drenched and if you fall, you gonna hurt yourself this time."Fk. "Stop worrying about me.", I mumbled in low breath."You've saved me a many a times. Probably it's my turn now.", she smiled with a small giggle walking backwards.Her wet dress clinging onto her body, her curves on display."The good thing is your dress is cleaned. The mud and the dirt have been washed away!", she said innocently not knowing of what hurricane was developing inside my mind."Uhm.", Sam coughed."Jeez, when did you appear?", I stared at him."What the heck happens every time I leave you two alone?!", he yelled at us."That's a funny story. Hear it out from Kylen.", she laughed while shivering."Ok. Ok. Will listen later.", Sam took off his jacket, "Here."He made her wear the jacket."Thank you, gentleman.", Nor bowed her head to Sam."Gentleman for women only.", I gritted, "I'm nothing to you, right Sammy?!""Don't worry. I'm not snatching your best friend from you.", she gave a hi-fi to Sam."Right. Because you already have."We all laughed as we walked.Sam was back to his chirpy mood with Eleanor in the sight.That's the magic she carries with her.Both of them kept laughing, calling me 'Mr. Mud Monster.'We got back to LA, the next morning. I got my car back as well. Sam and Eleanor were asleep while I drove it to my home.I parked the car, pulling the hand-break.Eleanor yawned, "Where are we?""My home."Her eyes stopped blinking, staring at me._____Ela's POV, His house?I slowly looked around, turning my head sideways.This was not his guest house."Oh. We are here!", Sam got excited.All three of us got out of the car. A beautiful creamy-pearl shaded mansion lied at the right side.There were workers mowing the lawns. Other two were washing the cars."Kylen and Sam are here!", they exclaimed in chorus."Hello. Hello!"Sam and Kylen distributed the chocolates to them which we had bought from Orlando."I had just been on a small trip.", Sam was speaking.Kylen's dad came out of the house, hearing the happy voices. Hurriedly climbing down the stairs, he hugged Sam."I'm fine dad!"I smiled seeing that despite Sam being adopted, he was being treated as another son of this family.He hugged Kylen as well, "I knew you would get this stupid fellow back."He pinched Sam's ears, "Try to elope again, you will have the best out of me!""Actually dad, Eleanor helped me in getting him back.", Kylen looked at me.As soon as Mr. Leighton's eyes were on me, I wanted to just disappear.I recalled of the scene I had created on his son's engagement. I stood there trying to cover my embarrassment and anxiety with a shy smile."Oh. Thank you.", Mr. Leighton smiled at me."Granny is waiting. Run boys.", he commanded.No. Don't leave me alone! They ran off like little kids while my uneasiness peaked."Come in, dear.", Mr. Leighton gestured.Climbing the stairs with him slowly, he spoke,"I know what happened in the engagement. I know you are not pregnant with my son's child.", he chuckled.I looked down slapping myself in my mind."I'm sorry that Kylen forced you to pull out that act there. I have punished him for his doings.", he paused."Oh."Wait. Kylen didn't compel me. I had done it on my own! "Anyway, it's good to see you here. Kylen never has bought any girl to home before.", this time he genuinely smiled at me.See first of all I take time to speak out. His father being sweet despite my stupid acts and I don't even know why Kylen has half lied to him.We entered through the main door and the inside of house was beautiful equally.It wasn't like the ones that gives those fake richly vibes.It looked like a real home with a life embedded in it."Granny! This is Eleanor.", Sam called out.A woman with white curly hair was seated on a wheelchair. Kylen and Sam got her closer to me.I kneeled down as she extended her arms, "You truly are Eleanor. Beautiful, just the way Kylen had described."My cheeks warmed up on a mere thought of him describing me.I absent mindedly looked up at Kylen who stood there frozen catching my sight.
