it did not seem like a dog but a human, this got her more worried, she got out her phone ready to call for help but before she could do that, someone snatched the phone from her. she was so tensed up, but after a second of confusion she realized who it was. This was getting serious. How did this guy know where she was and why on earth would he follow her all the way? It started to dawn on her that he might be the person who has been following her up and down. It has been you all along, isn't it? She asked him. What did I do my angel? he asked in return. Stop playing dumb, Mary was getting pissed and he also noticed it, so you have been following me around and you finally decided to show up just now? Oh fuck, so that bastard has been discovered, I thought he was smart enough, he cursed under his breath. Are you not going to admit it? she asked again. Well yeah, I have been watching you from afar since your charm could not let me stay away from you. That's very rude and creepy couldn't you use a better mode of approach, oh great. I have been waiting for some time now and you don't even want to welcome me to your house, is this how you treat your visitors? My visitors and how they are treated have nothing to do with you so if you have nothing meaningful here just find your way out of this compound. Mary told Greg. If you have to know then, I am going nowhere, I came all the way to see you and here you are sending me away, don't you have the slightest consciousness? If you don't mind, would you kindly tell me why you are here, I mean why did you come to see me, I thought you had a lot to do with your company, so how come you left the work behind? Well if you must know, you are more important to me right now than the work, it can wait but whatever am feeling for you can not wait any longer, so please, just let me express myself to you. You are really something, get in, Mary saw that he would not go soon and the cold outside was becoming extreme so she let him in. What can I offer you ? she asked him. Anything. Mary came back with two glasses of juice and handed one to him . she was silently asking herself why she let him in but deep down, she knew she liked him but then she would not easily accept that fact. So tell me, what is it that made you come here? Greg coughed lightly before he began to explain himself. You see, I know we did not have a pleasant beginning and that is why I am here to make it right, if you allow me, can we kindly begin on a good tone? Mary is confused yet pleased, she did not know he can speak so calmly, right now he was so charming to her, what can she do to act uninterested for a little more time, her mind is thinking so but her heart is doing something else racing as if it's in a marathon competition. To say her heart was betraying her would not be good since her mouth did the worst by immediately accepting his request. Yeah sure I think we should begin on a lighter note, he said before she knew it. Greg smiled widely at that, he knew it would be impossible for her to reject him when he was acting all loving. Well, that's an achievement for him. Cheers to our new beginning, they toasted. The night could not have begun in a better way but then Mary needed to rest since she would be required to go to work early the next morning. Can I see you out, please? She asked him. Are you now chasing me out of your house? he asked jokingly. Not really, I just need to rest and have some time to think about this whole thing. It's okay if you don't want me to accompany you for the night then I will have to go back to my hotel room. Do have a good night then, said Mary, same to you my dear, and keep it in mind I will be seeing you tomorrow. It's okay, Mary closed the door when he left and went back smiling at herself, she could not believe that he was making her blush. She can't deny it, she has a feeling that she might get attached to him sooner than expected that's because he's playing so tender. It has always been her dream to be with someone who treats her calmly and with tenderness just the way her family has treated her since she was a child. According to her view, Greg seems like a qualified candidate.

Greg came to visit her the following day after work and they spent the evening together talking about random stuff, the chemistry between them was greatly improving and within the following few days, Greg invited Mary out on a date.

She has been waiting for that moment when her prince charming will ask her out on a date and the day is finally here she can't help but feel sweet, they went out to a classic restaurant, and according to her observation, this guy had cash, real money, since he brings her expensive gifts and flowers every day he comes visiting and this restaurant is not for the ordinally, only the rich can afford to pay for a cup of coffee let alone a whole dinner. Wow, this is the life I always want to live, no straining of whatever kind, she fell harder for the guy.

The dinner was nothing she had before, oh my goodness, she was treated like a queen.

My God, where were you before, you are just coming out of nowhere and filling the vacant space in me, you got me. Greg was so romantic and treated her like a queen, she has been dreaming of such scenes and seeing them in movies but she never thought it would come to her so soon.

Mary wished that time could stand at that moment and let the rest of her life be just that sweet memory, the way Greg was looking at her was sending goosebumps all over her skin.

For the next two months, Mary was having the best part of her life, she never thought she would feel so fulfilled.

Greg proposed to her and Mary did not have to think for a second before accepting his proposal, i mean who on earth would reject such an offer to an ever happy life after, she might be a fool to reject him and so she immediately agreed to marry him.

The proposal was a surprise she did not expect so soon but it sure happened, Mary called her brother and told him that she got engaged, her brother was very surprised.

FRED.

How come am getting to know about it just now and who is this guy, you thought you were not in any serious relationship with anyone, so how comes you are already engaged, is it someone you met there or is it someone i might be knowing? He had so many questions which he wanted to be answered.

God, you asked so many questions, where do I even start, any way you got to know it now because it just happened and for the person involved, you already know him.

Really?

Yes, Greg, the guy we met during the festivities and you ended up fighting him.

Are seriously saying that you got engaged to that lunatic?

Ah, Fred , he's not a lunatic he's my fiancé and he's nothing close to what you just described him as.

My darling sister, it's only three months after you met him and you are already engaged, you don't even know who the guy really is, don't be blinded by his pretense.

I think it's just because you don't like him and that's why you think he is not right for me but don't worry, you will get to know him better and you will realize that he is a nice guy, I feel I found everything I wanted in life in him and am no longer searching so you better have that in mind and now that we are engaged we might be getting married soon, so don't spoil my happy mood, bye sweet brother, she hanged up the call and continued smiling like a fool.

FRED

What the hell is this girl getting herself into, she clearly doesn't know who she is dealing with.

Fred doesn't know him too well too but he can bet from his observations that Greg is not as good as he pretends to be, something tells him that he might be after something and once he gets it, he will get back to his real self and he is really worried that his sister might suffer the consequences of her blind choice, what will I do now? He's wondering, how do I help this girl, I don't want anything bad happening to my sister and she is part of my responsibility and so he might find a way to help her out before it's too late.
