Shift? Whom?
After that episode.
Ron was eating his breakfast at the time. William appeared out of nowhere.
"Dad," I said while I was eating.
Dad greeted me, "Good morning, son." "You're h-," I said, noticing someone standing behind my father.
I addressed Mrs. D'Souza.
"What's going on, Dad?" I asked.
"Sit down and relax. I will tell you everything, "Dad said."
"How are you doing, Ron?" Mrs. Anne inquired. "I'm OK," I said. "I heard you and Paul got into a fight," she asked. "So Paul sent you here to figure things out," I said.
"What is this, Ron? "She is the mother of one of your friends, " Dad became enraged and said to me, "Dad, he used to be my friend, but not anymore," I said firmly.
"How do you guys know each other anyway?" Ron asked.
The opposing viewpoint.
I changed into a more appropriate outfit and went downstairs to sit alongside him. But then a man approached Derek and whispered something to him. I only heard "shift."
Shift whom? What exactly are they talking about? When I looked at him, he was quietly eating his breakfast. I wanted to ask him about Paul, but lacked the courage to do so.
"You're not eating Elena," Derek said abruptly. He took notice of me.
Derek's point of view.
You can't be free with me, I know. Your past and Paul are still bothering you.
"Come here. I'll feed you, " Derek stated.
"No," I said, "I can eat, Derek."
"You talk too much, Elena," he said.
"Am I really talkative?" I responded with a smile.
"Yes, you are really talkative," Derek responded with a giggle.
"But, I think someone now needs my help, "I said.
"Your hand is injured, yet you still want to feed me," I said as I began slicing the steak for him.
As he stared at me, Derek said, "Elena, I wish to look after you at all times. To me, this hurt is nothing. He smiled as he touched my cheek. I smiled as I stared into his eyes. I was both pleased and concerned about the future. I'm not sure if he will continue to care for me like this every day or if he will change like Paul one day.
He urged me to come with him after we completed our breakfast. Maybe he doesn't want me to stay at home alone.
He said, "Let's go with me, Elena."
"What would I do there?" I wondered. "It would be better if I stayed at home."
Derek remained silent. But then he picked me up and led me outside.
"Derek, what are you up to?" I asked, surprised. We got inside the car. He wants to take me to his office with him.
"May I sit on the seat?" I asked.
"No, you're better on my lap," he said, his voice husky. Is he enraged because of something I've done? "Are you angry?" I asked, to which he replied, "no." "Are you sad then?" I asked again. He nodded once more. "Can't you talk?" I said, chuckling. Then Derek stared at me.
Derek's point of view.
I was stunned at her beauty when I saw her chuckle. Elena is most often silent, but when she is like this, I can't take my gaze away from her.
"I'm not a baby," I added.
"But for me, you are, " Derek responded with a smile. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You have a sweet way of speaking. How many girlfriends did you have then? ", I said, my eyes narrowed.
"I had a bunch, but none of them were as sweet as you," Derek laughed.
"Really," I said as I shifted my gaze to him.
"What exactly do you want to hear, girl? That I had a huge number of girlfriends? ", he asked, sliding my hair behind my ear. He rubbed his fingertips on my cheek. "I have no one in my life," he said as he drew me close to his chest. I leaned my head against his chest.
I closed my eyes and smiled. I felt at ease because of his warmth. His fingers were twirling around in my hair. I liked the way he touched me. It was making me feel a little weak. Maybe it's some sort of attraction, or maybe it's my sensual desire, or maybe it's because I'm admitting that he's everything to me. I'm not familiar with these emotions. It seemed that someone was doing some sort of magic on me. It was luring me in his direction. But then Paul's face appeared in my mind, and I opened my eyes and stared at him.
"Derek, where is he?" I asked.
