The Light To His Darkness

Bryce threw occasional glances at the woman seated next to him. Her head was very much outside the window and the wind blew up the fallen tendrils on her face as she laughed out her lungs to complete nothingness.

He shouldn't be staring but the innocence that radiates on her face was calling out to his darkness. It marveled him how he was so taken in with this woman when he had been telling himself countless times that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. "Where are we going Sir?" Hera asked, her voice echoing through the silence that blanketed the car.

He shifted his gaze when he realized that he had been staring too hard. He doesn't want to stare but he finds himself doing the opposite of what he wanted to do.

"I don't know." Came his casual reply.

Her brows knitted together tightly. He was resisting the sudden urge to laugh. She looked like someone who just came out a horror movie. He found it very cute and alluring.

"Then we'll get lost." She blurted out slowly.

"Why would we get lost when I'm the one behind the wheels bellissima."

Hera blushed hard. He called her beautiful. She had lived in the convent all her life to actually understand the meaning of that word. Most of the sisters at the convent had travelled far and wide and so she was able to learn and grasp a good number of foreign languages as well.

"Because you just said that you don't know where you're going and if you get lost, then I'll get lost as well." She replied truthfully

Bryce laughed hard. The last restraint he held onto was gone as he laughed his lungs out.

Hera watched her boss laugh. The more he did it, the more it made her smile. She wasn't sure what she said but he found it funny. Maybe she did something stupid and that's why he's laughing at her.

"Did I say something wrong?" She asked when he had calmed down a bit.

"You didn't. It's just how you said it." He took a U-turn "Just so you know Hera, I won't get lost and neither will you" He reassured her.

"It's okay Sir. I'll trust you with my safety then. That way, we won't get lost." she responded before throwing her face outside the window again.
