Comet’s POV My vessel may be broken but I was being soon back together and glued up as well. Pieces by pieces as I had been shattered. Torn. Stuck together despite of how painful it was. Despite how it would have been easier to never get back up and truly in the shredded remains of my soul. Tears welled up as someone whispered soft comforting words against my head. The world pulsated in response to my sadness and everything echoed in my ears in warning. And then I certainly remembered that I was in a public place and I was in front of a guy whom I had just looked at and was interested in. Was this how crushing on someone felt like? “Are you alright? You don’t look so good?” the guy who had just introduced himself as Jeremiah told me. The gaze of concern in his eyes was one that I had been longing enough to see in the eyes of Daddy and Uncle Larry. Strange but I had thought that they really loved me, but the more I kept on thinking about it I could feel that there love was based on something very different than what I felt for them. Sure they loved me, but they were always going to see me as someone that they would need to protect and care for since I was there little girl as well. “No. Actually I have been in trauma like this for a very long time and then it hasn’t been that long that I have been out of it. Seeing her in this way, really is bringing back everything more vividly.” “I am really sorry about that. I had no idea that it was so difficult for you. Why are you here then?” asked Jeremiah with a confused expression. This man really wore his heart on his sleeve. All his expressions were so damn clear on his face that it was extremely difficult for me to even control my real feelings from blurting out. Today morning as I had come out the morning sun had attempted to blind me as I sleep on a pair of dark sunglasses and my legs stretched out in front of me while I was in the car. Riding shotgun. I had chosen today to wear designer sneakers with short dark Navy blue skirt and a white tank top and I had pulled up my hair in a horsetail. It gave me a schoolgirl kind of look which I enjoyed. “I cannot emphasise how ridiculously hot it is here. I mean, outside. I did not have much plans also and when I heard about her…” I gestured towards Judith and Jeremiah nodded in understanding. The uniform that this guy was wearing should almost be banned. It highlighted how inhuman and gorgeous this man was. He looked every inch the massive warrior he was with his impressive built swimmer like shoulders and well I am guessing that he would have very lickable abs as well. I let my eyes crawl over his skin as I sent a quick thanks up that he was watching me for the first time. I did not want him to think that he had been speaking with a stalker. “I did not think for even one moment that when I would be back home I would encounter something like this…” he sighed. “Do you want to get out of here for a while? I mean, to get a coffee from the canteen or something?” I asked. Was it too forward for me? Why had I never thought that maybe I could also try dating like normal girls my age once in a while. Was it because I had grown up with two insanely hot men whom I had fantasized about since as early as I could remember? Or was it because I was broken? “I think that a coffee sounds great. Now that you say about it, I am feeling hungry as well,” said Jeremiah and I smiled at him. “Come on. I am sure you are hungry. With a body like yours you might survive on protein bars but you would actually need a lot of food to keep up your metabolism,” I smiled at him. I was so totally rambling! Uggghhh! Stupid hormones… “Huh! With body like mine? Should I take that as compliment?” he winked at me and I almost felt like my panties had molten in a bunch and I raised one brow at him and said,” That depends.” “On what?” “On whether or not I see you shirtless,” I replied without missing a beat. If he could flirt then so could I? After all I had been trained to please men, wasn’t I? “Ooohhh! Interesting…sure…why not? I don’t see any harm to it…but I honestly need to get out of these fatigues,” said Jeremiah and I winked at him this time and as I opened the door he let out a short laugh and said,” It has been a long time that I have laughed like that. You are a genuinely good person and a very interesting girl, Comet.” “And you know that from meeting me once?” I asked. “When you have see a man from the scope of a rifle for long hours and that too without moving then you learn to see many things,” said Jeremiah and I rolled my eyes. “Quoting dialogues from movies? Really?” I asked him with a glint and he laughed out again. “let’s have coffee and we can talk about your sister. In the meantime I shall ask my Daddy and Uncle Larry to stay with her so that no one can come in. How does that sound?” I asked and he nodded. “That sounds good to me. Let’s go.”
