Chapter 121 - One thing hasnt changed (2/2)

Before she could return to her senses; Ethan hand brushed on hers, as he took the luggage from her. His other hand went around her waist, as he pulled her close to his chest and rested his head on her shoulder. ”I've missed you.” He whispered.

Feeling his warmth; Diana felt herself close to tears. ”Is this real?” She asked, her voice breaking as her hand find their ways around his waist, up to his back.

”It's real! I really miss you like I'm going crazy.” Ethan replied, breathing in on her Cologne. The fresh scent of lavender coming from her soothes his heart, making him hugged her more tightly, not caring about the onlookers. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he snuggled his head between her neckline.

Diana felt scared at his action. Yes! he confessed his feelings to her, but she had no idea she meant this much to him. While Ethan had his eyes closed and enjoying the present feeling; Diana had her eyes opened and could see lots of stares on them.

Some were grinning, while some chuckled at Ethan's shamelessness, but this guy doesn't seem to care about all that. He's acting like she's something to him, something he doesn't care what others think and can treasure anywhere.

She isn't surprised by his straightforwardness as he had told her he's matured enough to know what he wanted and didn't have to beat around the bush.

Diana closed her eyes to enjoy more of his warmth, but she hesitated too much, as Ethan slowly pulled back and looked into her eyes, ”I'm happy to see you, and you look beautiful.” He said.

Diana's mind isn't on the words he spoke, instead; she's craving for the warmth that just escaped her grasp. She wanted more of it. She couldn't recall when she got hugged like this, except from the one she got from her father.

It's hard for her to control the urge to just hold him and not let go, but she's not brave enough to initiate such. ”Thank you.” she replied.

Ethan's heart tightened. He could see the difference in her. She's different from the girl he had a video chat with over 8 month ago, 'yes! 8 month of training. what do you expect Ethan.' he battled his thought, but still maintained his cool.

A lot can happen within a day, not to talk of months. ”You must be tired. Let's leave this place.” he said and reach for her hand.

This is overwhelming for Diana. Her thoughts were everywhere. She wanted to ask why he's here and all, but couldn't bring herself to talk. She had really decided to just devote herself into her new occupation and not care about anything that might happen; which is why she didn't even questioned Aroma and Nathan the previous day.

She didn't want to care anymore, but seeing Ethan now; she didn't know what to think as of now. She followed him along, his fingers interlocked with hers.

She kept staring at his side profile till they got outside the airport premises, where a White MayBach stood. The man in the driver's seat ran out to open the door, but Ethan dismissed him.

He passed him Diana's luggage to load in the car trunk and opened the door for her himself. 'What's going on?' Diana asked in her head.

The treatment is just too much for her to digest. She's finding it hard to believe that this is real once again.

She remained silent all through their journey, and Ethan didn't make any move as well. He sat with his back facing the door, his gaze fixated on her, while hers remained on her lap; yet he didn't ask her anything. He just kept staring, with his arms crossed above his chest.
