LEERA POV

It's been a few days after that club night and the days are going quite well because I didn't saw him these days. But the silence between me and Aria is annoying the shit outta me.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Levi suddenly uttered breaking the silence "Huh? Nothing... When is Aria going to come?" I asked getting awake from my thoughts.

"I don't know. The class is going to begin now, maybe she won't come" Levi said but the next moment we saw Aria entering the classroom. She took her seat beside Levi giving a smile to him and not even glancing at me once. Then the professor came and class started, so we didn't even get to talk properly

Then the last class before our winter vacation ended. We got a long vacation but we literally have to study the whole vacation as our finals will be held after the vacation

"Come on you both dumbos, when are you guys going to talk? I can't stand this anymore" Levi said annoyed as we came out of the class and Aria and I we both kept quite

"Leera, I'm sorry" Aria suddenly said making me shocked. "I shouldn't have ignored you these days, I'm sorry" she said again. She's really apologising me? I almost got soft hearing her apology

"It's absolutely fine, Aria. I'm sorry too, maybe I was also wrong at some place" I smiled looking at her and she smiled back. Finally, so everything is fine between us? Looks so

"Woohhooo great. Today's my treat then. Two beauties rejoined hands again" Levi uttered with an excited expression and we both laughed at him. "Let's go to the cafe and drag everything we can because it's Levi's treat." Aria said cheerily and we all went to the cafe

"Ooh dude.. chill... don't rush things. Can you two even eat so much food by yourselves?" Levi uttered while we kept ordering

"You don't need to worry mister, you just pay the money" saying that I and Aria focused on the menu. We just need a chance like this and it often comes so we surely aren't going to let the opportunity go this easily

We kept on with our gossips and our order finally came. After eating still there was half of the food left. I guess we ordered actually too much for only three persons.

"So, who's gonna eat these?" Levi asked starring at both of us making a face. "You" Me and Aria uttered at the same time and we started laughing. "I didn't order these, so of course I am not going to eat these. And it's not even possible for me to finish all these. Even if I'm a foodie, I'm all full now. And I also need to hit the gym for hours just because of you guys" Levi said and we both kept laughing

"Oohhoo ok ok. I'll take these home then" Aria muttered and then we got the left food packed and left the cafe.

"So yeah, let's see you guys after the vacation. Probably in our exams" I said when we all were about to part our ways and go home. "Why? We can meet during the vacation too" Aria muttered

"I'll be going to my hometown" I said sounding excited. Of course I'm excited to go back to my home and stay with my family. "I'm going to spend the whole vacation on bed perhaps" Levi uttered

After having a proper goodbye and we all parted ways to go back home. Then suddenly I felt a car stop by my side when I was waiting for a cab. Then I noticed it was Levi's car. "Come on. Let me give you a ride back home" Levi said after opening the side window of the door

"I already called a cab, you go dumbo" I said and he came out of the car. "Let me drop you home for today, you can just cancel that cab" saying that he pulled and made me sit on the passenger seat.

"Hmm... What's today? Why so excited to drop me home?" I questioned him with a small laugh. "Not going to see pumpkin for a lot of days. That's why probably" he said grinning, focusing on driving and a smile formed on my face hearing him

"Didn't expect that from you" I said and he laughed saying "Stupido I'm joking. It's my good if I don't get to see you. I don't need to tolerate your annoying ass as well." After having a good chit chat we were infront of my home now. I said goodbye to him and went to the apartment.

My flatmate Mayra also left for visiting her hometown this morning, so I'll probably have to stay alone tonight as my flight is tomorrow morning. I took a shower and then got ready again for my shift at work in library

Now I'm at my shift at work, I was placing some books on the shelf when I saw the most unexpected person there on the other side of the shelf with a book. Then suddenly his eyes met mine and I turned back not facing him.

"Hey, hey" He started call me from the other side of the shelf. Then I saw him coming to me and I don't know why I started to walk to the opposite direction acting like I didn't listen to his calls

"Leera, Stop" he called my name in a loud voice and I stopped and turned back. Now he's just infront of me. "This is a library. Why the hell are you shouting?" I asked pulling him to a side as everyone's eyes are upon us now

"Why are you acting like you don't know me?" He asked grinning. "Because I don't know you" I uttered with a dumb folded face

"Come on girl I'm your savior, Louis Acardo. How can you say that. Too fucking ungrateful, I see" He muttered in a teasing voice. "Are you stalking me something? What are you doing here?" I asked him. He didn't seem like a person to read books and moreover he dressed so formal and like he's someone respectful and wellknown. Ooh yeah not to forget to mention I knew he is rich from everything before

"Yes I'm. I'm obsessed with you. I have been following you for a long time" He said making me totally stunned. And then suddenly he started laughing "What do people do at libraries. Of course I'm here to read books" He said again. "Ok" saying that I was about to go and do my work again but he stopped me

"So, you work here?" He asked. "None of your concern" I said roughly. By the way why am I being tough to him? Maybe I just don't like this guy.

"I'll complain about you to the library authority" He muttered. "What?" I asked in an amazed tone. "That you are behaving roughly with me" He said

"Whatever" saying that I was about to go but he stopped me again. "Hmm.. let's go to a coffee shop or somewhere if you have time" "Why would I go anywhere with you?" I asked raising my eyebrow

"To know eachother. No I mean in a good way. And I maybe know what you think about me but let me make sure I'm not any creepy flirt or something like that. And I'm not here because of you and I don't even had that idea you work here. This is actually my Library. I opened this some years ago, maybe because of my love for books. It's been long I came here, so just roaming a bit" He said and I didn't even expect he's the owner of this Library

"Hmm look I'm not following you or something. If you want we can go somewhere near just like friends" He offered me again. "Ok. After my shift ends" saying that I left for doing my work while he said from behind my back "I'll be reading books and waiting for you then" and I don't know why a smile popped on my face listening to him.

Well I didn't even thank him properly for saving me last time and here I'm being so rude and annoying to him. That's not it, I can just give him a chance and thank him I guess. That's all. After I was done with my work we went to a nearby cafe.

"So, tell me about you" He said when we sat on a table

"Hmm... What do you want to know about me?" I asked dumbfolded not knowing what to tell him. "I guess we can start from the beginning" saying that he offered his hand forward and started muttering again "Hi. I'm Louis Acardo. A well known businessman in USA but don't know if you have any idea about that or not"

"Huh... I'm Leera Ellis Reily. Currently I'm studying medicine and yeah didn't have too much idea about you" I said shaking his hand with a smile. Well he seems like a jolly and cheerful guy just like Levi.

"Don't worry, you'll get to know a lot more about me later" he said grinning. I don't even know what he meant and then a waiter arrived. She greeted us and handed us the menu.

"I'll pay for this as a thankyou for saving me that day" I uttered. "Sounds impressive" he said back starring at me

"Then what do you want to eat or drink??" I asked him checking the menu. "Anything you like" He said still watching me. Why is he being like this again? Why would he eat or drink as I prefer. Whatever I'll just order

"I would like to have black coffee and brownie. What about you?" I asked him again. "I'll have the same" He said to the waiter and then the waiter left.

"So how you liked Malta?" He asked breaking the silence among us. "It was nice and awful too you know it very well" I said. "If I wasn't there to save you, you won't to be sitting here infront of me by now" He said smirking.

"Yeah I know. That's why I'm here to thank you again for the last time or I won't be going around with stranger" I talked back. Too proud of saving someone's life huh?

"Wooh lady. You still think we are strangers. This is the second time we're meeting and look strangers doesn't come to have coffee around" He muttered with a grin on his face

"Ok whatever. Now tell me about you.. Do you stay here?" I asked him. "Well most of the time. I visit here very often but I basically live in Georgia but my parents live here" He said with an interested face talking to me

"Ooh.. my hometown is also Georgia. I have flight tomorrow" I said feeling happy again that I'll finally go back to home after such a long time and after those struggles in life. "That's great. I'll be going back to Georgia soon" he muttered

Then we kept on talking about random things and our order arrived. He took a sip of his black coffee and made an ew face "Gosh! How do you drink that. That's so terrible and awful" He muttered with a disgusted face and I laughed at him

"I asked you to order what you like but you didn't. You said you would go with my liking. So I have nothing to do. Maybe you can try that brownie to make yourself feel better" I said still laughing and he kept starring at me. A small smile formed on his lips. Then I started to feel awkward under his stares so I stopped and started eating my brownie. Soon we were done, I paid the bill and we came out of the cafe.

"Let me drop you home" He offered me. "Um, no thanks I guess. My home isn't really far from here. I'll go by myself" I said with a smile. "Ok then. Goodbye. It was a nice time getting to know you" He said and I turned back and started walking after saying "goodbye" to him. It won't take too long walking home from here. So I thought I'll walk home.

It was 6.00 PM by now probably. I am just about to reach infront of my building but suddenly I felt someone on my back and that person instantly pressed a cloth to my mouth and nose, suffocating me. Then in the next moment I understood that person was actually trying to make me unconscious and I didn't let myself breath. I struggled to get myself free but couldn't. After a while, I couldn't fight anymore and almost gave up when I seriously felt the need to breath. I felt helpless and impotent. That person was strong and kept holding tight the cloth with chloroform on my face and slowly I started to feel dizzy and my vision becoming hazy.

After a few moments more I felt myself getting unconscious as darkness initiated to consume me.........
