Daniel checked his appearance in the mirror that was placed in the corridor before he walked towards her room.
He knocked on the door gently and waited for her to open.
Ina heard the knock and thought it was the maid so she opened the door but she found out that it wasn't the maid.
"Daniel." Nora said surprised to see him.
"I apologize for bothering you, I came to say hi." Daniel said as looked at the cute pink panther two set pyjamas that she was wearing.
"No, no, you didn't, please come in." Nora said as she pulled her pyjamas top down trying to cover her small bump.
Daniel entered the room and looked around the room, he noticed how Nora was embarrassed and kept pulling her pyjamas top down.
"When did you arrive?" Nora asked, trying to sound normal when it's obvious that she was nervous.
Daniel stared at the girl in Infront of him captivated by her beauty, her long black hair was let down, her face was clean as she no makes up on, her grey eyes stared everywhere but him, he expected that she will be e embarrassed but he acted normal as he didn't know anything.
"Yesterday, I wanted to come here first thing but I was very exhausted." Daniel replied.
Nora sat down on the couch with Daniel but she made sure to keep a distance from him.
"It's good to have back." Nora said as she looked at him.
"It feels good to be back, especially after I saw you." Daniel spoke in a soft tone as he patted her head gently.
Nora smiled hearing this from him, Daniel was her only childhood friend, they shared the same interests in almost everything, from food to books their tastes were alike.
"I brought you many things from Canada, I will bring them next time I come by." He said as he stood up and walked towards the bookshelves that were on the other side of the room.
"Hmm." Daniel hummed as he looked at the books that were placed neatly on the shelves.
Picking on of the books, he opened it and started to read the first page.
"May I borrow this from you? I will return it once I'm done." Daniel asked politely as he turned around looking at her.
"Of course, take your time, I already read it." Nora replied.
"So how long are you going to stay here?" Nora asked, tugging a strand of hair behind her ear.
Daniel smiled hearing her ask, for a moment he thought that she was bothered by his presence.
"For a year, I will stay here in the mansion." Daniel replied and watched how Nora widened her eyes for a second before she looked away.
"T- that's good, it's better than staying at the hotel." Nora spoke trying to appear normal.
Daniel looked at her and smiled.
"Yes, it's better." He said as he went back to sit next to her.
"So tell about you, what have you been doing?" Daniel asked carefully, not wanting her to notice that he knew anything.
He watched how the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced with a sad look.
"Nothing, the same as before you left." Nora replied.
Daniel wanted to take her in his arms and tell her that everything will be alright, but he felt that this wasn't the right time but he did place a kiss on her cheek that made her look at him in surprise.
"You have a beautiful face, the look of sadness doesn't suit you." He spoke in a low gentle voice.
Nora felt like she was about to cry, she didn't know if it was because of her or the pregnancy hormones are messing up with her brain.
"I brought you something." Daniel said as he took out something from his blazer pocket.
He took out a small white box and opened it taking out a beautiful headband.
Nora was surprised as she looked at the headband, he still remembers.
"I bought it two years ago, I was passing by the store and when I saw it I immediately thought about you." Daniel spoke as he unclasped the lock of the headband.
Nora stared at the gold blossom headband and smiled.
"I hadn't forgotten that you like them." He added as he put the headband on her head and clasped it.
Nora lowered her eyes feeling embarrassed by his closeness.
Daniel smiled in satisfaction, it looked good on her just like he imagined.
"Thank you." Nora said as she touched the headband.
"I'm glad you like it, I brought you many other things but I just couldn't bring them all because I haven't unpacked my bags." He explained.
"It's okay, I will help you to unpack when you bring your luggage later." Nora said.
"I will be very honoured, now I need to go, I will come back at dinner time." Daniel said as he stood.
Nora nodded her head and watched him as he left the room and closed the door with him.
Mora stood up and walked towards the mirror.
"Wow, it's beautiful." She mumbled to herself as she looked at the headband.
When Nora was young, she was obsessed with all kinds of headbands, she always wanted more of them to the point that she has boxes full of them, Damien and his friends were very nice to her and always bought headbands for her knowing how much she looked him, but Daniels were always different and unique.
Nora smiled and decided to keep it and not take it off.
...
Downstairs, Daniel was leaving the mansion when he saw a girl walking towards the mansion entrance.
Ina noticed the guy who was leaving the mansion and remembered who he was.
"Hey, you must be Ina." Daniel was the first one to greet.
"Yes, and you must be Daniel." Ina said as she stretched her hand for him to shake.
"I am." Daniel replied as he shocked her hand.
"Damien told many things about you." Ina said as she looked at the handsome man in front of her.
She wondered how a man like him is still single, she remembered Damien telling her that Daniel has someone in his life but he never told him who she is.
"I hope he only spoke about the good things." Daniel said as he looked at her.
"Well, he only told about some of the embarrassing things that the three of us did." Ina replied.
"Oh my, then we need to speak more, let me call Damien and see when we can have dinner together and chat." Daniel said, both of them chatted for a while before Daniel left and Ina went upstairs to see Nora.
"Hey!" Ina said as she entered Nora's room.
"Hey." Nora, who was laying on the bed, replied.
"What a beautiful headband, did you buy it?" Ina replied as she looked at the golden headband that was on Nora's head.
"No, it's a gift from Daniel." Nora replied as she sat up.
"The hot guy who just left?" Ina asked, wanting to confirm.
Nora chuckled and nodded her head.
"Yes." She replied.
Ina looked at the headband and thought about something but she didn't say it.
...
Evening, after dinner.
Daniel had come back before dinner, just like he said and brought back his luggage with him, the servants had taken the bags upstairs to his room.
Nora helped Daniel as she told him in the morning.
"No, no, don't lift that, I will do the lifting." Daniel said as he took the bag from her.
Nora stared at Daniel for a while before she looked away.
"You know, right, Damien told you?" Nora asked him.
She had a feeling that he knew something since he came to her room in the morning.
Daniel sighed as he placed the bag on the bed and opened it.
"Yes." He replied.
Daniel tried to appear unaffected by the news in front of Damien, but the truth is he was very angry at himself, not at her, he blamed himself for being late and letting another man take his place.
"You must be thinking badly of me, like everyone in the mansion who is trying to smile in my face but they are talking behind my back." Nora said as she picked up some of Daniel's clothes and started to put them in the wardrobe.
"I never thought about you like that and never will." Daniel said as he placed his hand on Nota shoulder and turned her around.
"Everyone makes mistakes, Nora, toe you still the Nora that I know, I don't care about what happened but what I do know that is I will find that man and I make him pay for what he did." Daniel said tightening his hold on her shoulders.
"Thank you." Nora said and felt him place a lingering kiss on her forehead.
"He is a cruel person, how could he do something like that to a person like you, he should have treasured you." Daniel whispered as he caressed her face gently before he pulled away and continued to unpack his bags.
Nora was shocked for a moment but she recovered soon and started to help him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
